can nomination for president; but he
could not be expected to control anybody
in his state Secretary Herbert makes
no pretensiOns and is one of only about
a half dozen goldbugs in Alabama. He
would not undertake to control anybody
in his state. Mr.. ]. Sterling Morton was
recently hanged in effigy at his home in
Nebraska by Il democratic club, and
while he succeeded in fixing one dem
Ocratic convention, the result of the eff
fort would cause him to hesitate Il long
time before trying the experiment on the
same line again.
We mention these facts to show that it
is neither popular nor fashionable in
these days for Il cabinet officer to be in
strict touch with the people of his state.
He may be Il republican, or Il mugwump,
or he may regard himself as a democrat;
but he must be Il goldbug. That is about
the only requirement. He may be popu-
lar or unpopular; but if he be willing
to endorse the financial doctrines Of John
Sherman and gready to repudiate the
financial pledges of the democratic plat
form, he has The necessary qualifications
for Il cabinet position.
We have no doubt the secretary of
the interior would like to be instrumental
in selecting Il goldbug to succeed Senator
Colquitt. and he may conclude to under
take the job. Frankly, we should like
TO see the experiment tried. We should
like to see the issue squarely made. We
want to see whether the people of Geor
gia are any reader now to endorse the
financial schemes of John Sherman
than they were in 1892 when they stood
Solidly on the democratic platform.
If the organized money power ever
had the slightest opportunity to win
victory over the people in the democratic
state of Georgia, that opportunity ought
to exist now, with democrats high in
official position in Washington rcpudiat-
ing the platform pledges and endorsing
the financial views of John Sherman.
We should like to see the issue made at
this time. 1t is to be the paramount is
sue in our national politics and we are
prepared to welcome it in Georgia.

According to Washington gossip. the
secretary of the interior is exceedingly
anxious TO control the politics of his own
state. his ambition i'll this respect being
based on the theory held ut the capital
that a cabinet officer ought TO be pow
crful enough ut home TO have all his
plans and schemes promptly carried
out.
Washington gossip also credits the sec
rotary of the interior with an earnest
desire to see Il goldbug senator elected
from Georgia to succeed Senator Col

self heard as loudly if not as sWeetly as
the street pianos that go rolling about
from corner to corner. Yet it is not TO be
denied that Washington gossip some
times hits on fact and it may have
done so in the case of the secretary of
the interior.
Somehow or other it has ceased to be
popular for Il member of the cabinet to
exercise much influence in his own state
In the old days, when cabinets We're
made up of distinguished statesmen,
men who had made Il record in the ser
vice of the people, Il cabinet officer not
only had great influence in his own
state, but in the party and in the whole
country This influence was not based
on the fact that he was Il member of

of William II. Crawford and Howell
Cobb. of Georgia, who We're called to
cabinet positions not as Il reward for
their party or personal services, but to
give strength and popularity to the adj
ministratiOn.
In these latter days, however, Il cab
met officer is neither expected or re
Quired TO give strength to an admins
tration. nor is it desirable that he should
be immensely popular in his own state
or able TO control its politics.
We do not believe that Mr. Carlisle
since he has succumbcd to the pressure
of events and devoted himself to carry
Ing out the financial policy of John
Sherman, could in fairness be expected
to control the politics Of Kentucky. Yet
Secretary Carlisle is the only man in the
cabinet who has achieved any degree of
widespread popularity in the democratic
party before having been called to the

What Is the Remedy?


Hon. William G. Oates, one of the can
didates for governor in Alabama, is
quoted as saying, in his speech III Ath
ems. Ala, n few days ago, that Mr.. Cleve-
land told him personally that the mon
ey power in Wall street could draw all
the gold out of the treasury in forty
eight hours. We are prepared to admit
that this is true, but how did it happen
to be so, and what is the president doing
to change this situation?
For twenty years Hon. John Sherman
has been legslating to bring about just
this state of affairs. That he succeeded
we must all admit. No job was ever
more complete. and no scheme more sue
ccssfully accomplished. No such a state
of affairs ever existed before. 1t was
once attempted when Andrew Jackson
was president, but he defeated the
scheme and routed the robbers. There
has not been single position taken on
This financial question by Mr.. Cleveland
and Mr.. Carlisle that did not have the
approval and cooperation Of Hon. John
sherman. He outlined the legislation TO
be taken TO repeal only part of one of
his bills that helped to bring 2Jtout this
condition. He advised Mr.. Carlisle to
Dav only gold on coin certificates for fear
he would make the holders Of gold mad,
and Mr.. Carlisle took his advice just as
readily as Foster took it under Harri-
sons administration. He advised Prcsi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle to
Issue more bonds to strengthen the pow
or of the gold men, when President Har
rison had refused to do the same thing,
and both the president and secretary
took his advice. Neither the repeal of
the purchasing clause nor the issue of
bonds helped the situation. but strength
encd the power of the men who have
such enormous power over the money in
the treasury.
The question naturally arises what
will be accomplished for the people as
long as we shape legislation to suit this
greedy crowd of cormorants? 1t we
had an Andrew Jackson as president we
could stop it in short order. But, alas!
