This he believes can be attained. He
said it was a matter of regret that the
question should have assumed the nature
of sectional issue. No country, he
said, could shoulder the burden of indie
pendent bimetallism. 1t was necessary
that there should be currency equally
acceptable to all countries, and this
could be accomplished only by an inter
national agreement placing the metals on
a standard of relative value-15 or lotto l,
as might be agreed to. All agreed to the
proposition that an international agree
menG was desirable, but some questioned
the possibility of its accomplishment
and favored independent action. His
observations abroad had led him to diff
ferent conclusion. He believed that in
ternatiOnal bimetallism was a matter of
but three or four years. England was
ripening for it. There was not a univer-
sity professor in England to-day, he said,
who did not favor bimetallism, nor a big
manufacturer. The manufacturing cen
ters of England were for it. Among the
statesmen there were many in the conser-
vative ranks, under the leadership of Ar
thur j. Balfour, in its favor, and the Ia
Dor organizations had already placed
themselves on record in favor of Eng
lands taking steps for an international
agreement. OF course, in London, there
was what would correspond to our Wall
street in opposition. "There is no dis
pute oyer bimetallism," said Mr.. Whit
ney in conclusion. 1T is over the meth
cd of obtaining it. The East believes
that independent action will not accom-
plish the object sought. l believe that
an international agreement can be had
and that, therefore, there is no occasion
to assume the risk and burden of indie
pendent action"

The Last Of Lincoln's Cabinet.

With the death of Hugh McCullOch
the last surviving member of Lincoln S
Cabinet passes away. OF the men who
at one time or another sat around the
Presidential council table between March
1, 1861, and April Is, 1865, Caleb B.
Smith died shortly before Lincoln, and
Seward, Chase, Fessenden, Stanton and
Bates departed few years later, follow
ed not long afterward by Welles, Denni-
son and Montgomery Blair, while the
demise of Speed occurred about years
ago, and that of Cameron and Usher at a
moreIrecent date. McCulloch was later
appointee than any of these, qualifying
on March I, 1865, month and eight
days before the death of Lincoln. Nc
CullOCh was not the greatest of all the
cOuntry's finance ministers. He lacked
the constructive ability of Hamilton and
Chase, and he was equally destitute of
the knowledge of finance in its broader
aspects and applications possessed by
Gallatin, Walker and Sherman, but he
had greater technical skill than any of
these, and was conscientious, indus
trious and useful official.
In the general average of the ability
and prominence ofits members, Lincoln S
Cabinet compares favOrably with the
greatest of the Presidential councils.
Half of Washingtons Standardization
and Hamilton-were men of the highest
order in craftsmanship and influence,
but the other two original members
Knox and Edmund Randolph-were of a
much lower rank intellectually, and their
names are not known to the general
reader of to-day. Only two of Jetferson's
Standardization and Gallatin-are re-
WONDERED. The next of the great as
semblages of executive advisers, that of
Monroe, contains, among other men,
John Quincy Adams, VIM. H. Crawford,
John c. Calhoun and William Writ. The
first Harrison had Webster, Ewing, Bell
and Crittenden in his council; Polk had
Buchanan, Robert j. Walker, Marcy and
George Bancroft; Pierce had Marcy, JEFF
ferson Davis and Caleb Gushing, and Bu-
chanan, at one time and another, had
Cass, Dix, jeremiah S. Black and Stan
ton, but all of these did not serve to-
gether These are the greatest names on

Mr.. Carlisle's sound money mission
into the Southern States must have
been painful duty for him. Until his
admission into the Cleveland cabinet he
was looked up to as one of the free coin
age leaders. Some of his greatest
speeches have been pleadings for free
silver. From the time he voted for the
Bland silver bill in 1877, his first year in
Congress, to the time he accepted Cleve-
lands call, his voice was raised and his
vote given upon every possible occasion,
for the cause of free silver. He was
elected as a free silver man and talked
and voted as free silver man. When
he assumed his present cabinet Office he
completely reversed his position on this
question and blossomed forth as an adj
Yocate of sound money. Last week he
made several speeches in Kentucky, his
native State, in an attempt to weaken
the free silver tide. Intense feeling has
been aroused against him among former
friends and supporters who do not hest
tate to accuse him of betraying his old
cause for what has proved to be an
empty honor. At the very least, his
sudden conversion to the sound money
cause was under peculiar circumstances.
The whole business savOrs much of a
bargain. The President is notorious in
his use of public Office in breaking oppo-
sitiOn or in gaining any object Wheth-
er or not such bribery was in use in this
instance is necessarily matter of sur
mise, but the well-known practices of
the President, and the lightning like con-
version of Mr.. Carlisle gives an appear
ance that is disgrace to all concerned.
Under these circumstances, to have been
compelled to enter among those whom
he so shortly before had lead under an
other banner and acknowledge that he
hadbeen wrong, and without being able to
give satisfactory reason for his own
change, to denounce their position as
threatening to the welfare of the nation,
is peculiar and humiliating position.
But he was simply obeying his chief.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Carlisle has done the
country good service in so far as he
has advanced the cause of sound money.
Whether his position under the silver
standard was sincere or false, or wheth
er his change was the price of his Office,
he deserves the credit of doing effective
work in the past few days in the cause
of sound money.

NEWS AND NOTES.

--Rothschild syndicate, which through
the kindness of Mr.. Cleveland was al
| lowed to buy our bonds, last winter, at
far less than their market price, now an
| nounCes that the profits are not as large
as was expected. The syndicate states
| that it's net surplus on the transaction
will not be over SS,000,0O0. 1t is really a
pity that this country should be put into
such strait, and on the next bond sale
(Which will probably come along early in
the autumn), the price ought to be still
further reduced in order that the men,
bers of the syndicate may make every
jot that they think they ought. Boston

South Carolina will not try to get out

she has made two attempts of that kind,
and the experience was sufficient to re-
strain her from making a third one.
The annual encampment of the Yer
mont division Sons of Veterans will be
held in st. Adams, June 18th or 10th,
owing to the fact that the only available
hall in Vergennes was recently destroyed

North Adams now has another daily,
a wide-awake and newsy paper. tbs the
Daily Transcript, the outgrowth of the
Weekly Transcript which under the guild
ance of the late Judge Robinson, was
placed in the front rank of journalism
which position it has continued to hold
under the editorship of his son, Mr.. Ar
thur Robinson. The staff of the Daily
Transcript is made up of Arthur Robin
son and Henry G. Rowe, editors; George
b. Torrey, local editor, and with him will
be associated force of reporters. These
gentlemen are giving North Adams
daily Of which it may be proud, for few
papers, in the smaller cities, enter the
field Of daily journalism with more life
and energy and with more evidences of
knowing what is wanted, in a local and
general way, than the Daily Transcript.

The Cleveland Administration seems
to continue its contemplate attempts to
cast discredit upon the Harrison Adj
ministration. The story now is that the
Administration secretly attempted to be-
little and embarrass the work of the
Hon. John w. Foster, while he was en-
deavoring to arrange peace between
China and Japan. AS Mr.. Foster was a
member of the Harrison cabinet, he of
course is expected to come in for his
share of the slurs. When the lofty and
broad-minded craftsmanship of Mr.. Har-
rison is compared with the jealous and
narrow-minded policy of the present Ad-
ministration, the total lack of statesman
ship in Grover becomes strikingly appar-
ent.

some block will be erected as quickly as
possible and with new presses and ma.
terial, the company will probably be
better than ever equipped to do a
hustling newspaper and printing bust
ness. Fire seemed to effect the Mes
senger people about as it did Nero of
old, for while ST. Adams, and the Mes
senger's home was burning the editors
and compositors kept up their never
ceasing toll, and the issue following the
fire was but a few hours late. 1t was
from the Swanton Courier office. The
Messenger is now issued from the Office
of the Free Press, in Burlington. The
people of st. Adams have shown much
courage in dealing with the emergencies
SO suddenly confronting them. Energetic
steps are being taken to replace with
better and more substantial buildings
the ones destroyed. Strict building reg
ulatiOns will be enforced and in a few
years ST. Adams will be in far better
condition than it would be had the fire
never occurred.

1t seems proper to say to the citizens
of Bennington that Livingston is doing,
by means of scurrilous letters a most
dastardly and despisable work against
Supt. Davis in Amsterdam. Some of
these letters are before us, and for false
hood, inuendoiand malice, they are worse
than devilish. We may conclude to
publish these letters aud some anomy-
nous communications whose origin is
perfectly well known. Mr. Davis has
devoted himself unselfshably to the
work of education in this place, and he
is.universally recognized as a good man
and superior educator. Even men who
have differed from him ON some questions
are denouncing Livingston's actions in
this matter. Livingston and his follow
ers excepted, there is no one in this town
who would not say good word for Mr..
Davis and wish him well in his new
field. We think that citizens, as mat
ter of justice and as matter of safety to
themselves, should take some action to
restrain Livington's work. He pro-
fesses to do this scurrilous work in the
name of the citizens of this place. If that
is so we would like to see his followers
stand up and be counted in this dishon-
orable work.

the rolls of the strongest Cabinets which
appeared along to the war days.
LinCOln's official family will rank near
ly as high as any of those in the intellect
ual and social distinction of It's members.
1t was admirably chosen both to meet
the duties which would confront it and
to represent the different elements of the
party which was in power Lincoln
went little farther than almost any
of his predecessors in placing in his
council the men who had been his rivals
for the Presidency. Seward, Chase,
Cameron and Bates figured prominently
as aSpirants in the nominating cOnven-
ton. Washington is understood to have
represented both schools of political
opinion in his selection of Hamilton and
Knox on the one side, and jefferson and
Randolph on the other. The truth is,
however, party lines had not been drawn
when these appointments were made.
John Quincy Adams went, or intended
to go, little farther still in the way of
having all shades of sentiment represent
ed in his Cabinet, for of the three other
men who received electoral votes in
1924, when he was elected, he appointed
Clay Secretary of State, he offered the
Treasury portfolio to Crawford, and he
at first thought of naming Jackson for
Secretary of War. At Washihgton's en-
trance into the Presidency, however, po-
litical organizations, as we have men
toned, had not been born, while at John
Quincy Adams accession to Office parti-
san lines had been obliterated by the
death, a few years earlier, of one of the
great parties, and the other seemed to be
on the point of disintegrating for want
of foe to combat.-St. LOUIS Globe

A boycott has been declared against
the Union Theological Seminary, New
York, by the Presbyterian General As
sembly. This means that young men
educated in that seminary under Profess
sor Briggs, will not be licensed to preach
in Presbyterian churches, and as a result
a large number of theological students
will be compelled to withdraw from the
seminary. This is severe blow to the
institution but it is confident that it will
be sustained by the public in its broader
Interpretation of the scriptures. The ac-
tion of the general assembly is looked
upon as somewhat radical and public
sympathy outside of the church is evil
IDENTITY on the side of the seminary peo-
pie. This decision is a result of the
fight of several years in the General As
sembly, against DR.. Briggs, on the charge
of heresy. The boycott of the semi
nary is vigorously denounced by many
leading Presbyterian clergymen, includ-
ing Rev. DIR. ParBhurst.

i. G. Grant of Burlington, treasurer of
the Vermont Firemen's Association, yig-
orously protests against the "wiping
out" of the Association by the Rutland
correspondent of the Burlington Free
Press. While the loss to the Associa-
zion of the Rutland and Burlington de-
partments Caused by those cities adopt
ing paid Department., embracing sew
eral organizations, it by no means so far
cripples the Association that its dissolu-
ton should consequently follow. On
the other hand, several new organiza-
tions have recently joined the Associa-
ton, its financial condition is strong
and there are no reasons why it should
not enjoy long, useful and prosperous
career. Treasurer Grant says:
With such active members as Chiefs
many others, we shall still be able to as
Torrance of their duties and give them
an occasional day of recreation. One
word as to the organization on which
point your correspondent seems to be at
sea. The idea of a State organization
originated with the fire department of
Bennington, and they issued through a
committee appointed for that purpose,
the call for the first meeting, which was
held at Rutland, and to the Bennington
firemen belongs the credit of organizing
this Association. The question of di-
viding the surplus in the treaspsx is not
worth considering at present, for we
trust that the time for that is in the dis
tant future; but by way of explanation
l would say that we have a membership
OF about 200. This, with balance of
5000 in the treasury, would give each
member the magnificent sum of 80 cents,
hardly enough to fight about. Assuring
you again that the Vermont State Fire
mems Association has come to stay, l
remain, etc.

+. Ex-Secretary Whitney has just returned
from an extended European trip and has
submitted to an interview. AS Mr.
Whitney is probably the most popular
and sound Democrat to-day, and one
whose judgment always carries heavy
weight, his views on the money ques-
ton will be read with interest. On the
currency question the ex-secretary spoke
freely. In substance he expressed him
self as unequivocally for bimetallism-
but international, not local bimetallism.

that Cleveland is a candidate for a third
