NEW CABINET OFFICERS.
Olney Secretary of State and Harmon
Attorney General.

WASHINGTON, June Late this
afternoon President Cleveland an
nounced the appointment of Attorney
General olney rs Secretary of State
and Judson Harmon of Cincinnati as
Attorney General. This means that
there will be no reorganization or re-
arrangement of the Cabinet.
Secretaries Smith and Herbert did
not attend the Cabinet meeting to-
day. Mr.. Smith vas in Georgia and
Mr.. Herbert had not returned from
Annapolis. Secretary Morton was
iokingly congratulated upon the fine
character of the weather which every
body was enjoying.
Attorney GeneralOlney was an early
arrival and spent about twenty min
utes in the Presidents private office
before the Cabinet meeting.
Secretary Lamont, who had been IN
New York, was present and it is be-
lieved that he has a great deal of
Cabinet information in his possession,
as it was understood he had consulted
with the New York friends of the
President while he was away.
Postmaster General Wilson hurried
back from the South in order to be
present at the meeting, as it was quite
possible this would be the last meet
ing to be held before the President
should go away for the summer.

WILSON AT JACKSON, TENN.
Pays His Respects in a Humorous Way
to Silver Advocates.

JACKSON, Tenn, June 5.-Postmas-
ter General w, L. Wilson delivered an
eloquent address to an audience of
1000 people at the Tabernacle this af-
ternoon for the Southwestern Baptist
University. He disclaimed any inten-
ton at expressing a political opinion,
but in his address he told the story of
tho people of his town who forsook
the trained physicians and were gulled
by the great Kickpoo Indian remedy
offered by a strolling band of quacks.
He said that the people were led off
after political remedies, warranted to
give immediate relief and to be a
"cure-all." Since the address tie
silver men are calling each other
Kickapoos. A reception was held at
the hotel and several thousand people
shook hands with Postmaster General
Wilson. He left tonight for Wash

THE WAR ENDED AUGUST 20, 1866.
Old Supreme Court Decision Which
Affects Many Pension Applicants.
From the Chicago Inter ocenn !.

The question as to the termination
of the civil war, raised by Assistant
Secretary Reynolds of the Interior
Department in a recent pension de-
~cision, has given rise to considerable
discussion. The case in question was
that of John Barleyoung, a soldier who
had entered the army April 10, 1866.
He applied for a pension under the
three months service act, claiming
that the wal did not terminate until
August 20, 1866, when President John
son, by proclamation, announced that
peace had been restored. Secretary
Reynolds claimed that active HOSTILE
ties ceased in April, 1865, nine months
before Barleyoung enlisted. He said
further:
at is not believed that Congress in
tended to pension those whose 4rendi=
ton of service, military Or naval, had
no connection with the belligerent OPP
erations of the war, was not upon the
theater of the conflict, and had moth
ing to do with the object and purposes
of the war"
For these reasons the claim was
disallowed. The effect of the decision
is to exclude a large number of per-
sons who entered the service between
July, 1866, and May, 1866, from the
operations of the pension law.
Since the decision was made it has
been ascertained that the Supreme
Court in December, 1887, held that the
war did not terminate until the date
of the Presidents proclamation, Aug.
20, 1866. The ease then decided was
under the captured and Abandoned
property act" which authorized loyal
owners of such property to bring suit
for it's recovery in the court of claims
within two years after the suppression
of the rebellion. The court held ex-
pressly that the question of date of
termination of the war was not to be
left to each claimant to settle, but was
to be determined by some formal pub
lie act of the government; that the
first official declaration on the point
was the Presidents proclamation, and
that Congress had expressly adopted
/ this date as that of which the rebellion
ended. The opinion closed as follows:
GAS Congress in its legislation for the
army has determined that the rebel
lion closed August 20, 1866, there is nj
reason why it's declaration on this
subject should not be received as set
thing the question wherever private
rights are affected by it."
In view of this decision, and the
large number of persons involved, thu
Barleyoung case will probably be re
opaued

Why Abuse Democrats?

FROM the OiuuDl EaeThlu-
Have not Missouri Democrats q suf-
ficient Job on their hands at present
without abusing each other? II there
ever was a time when it behooved
them to stand together it is now.
There is very little n and still less
politics in wholesale detraction of the
Democrats, whether they be gold bugs
or silver bugs, for fellow servants or
against fellow servants, who do not
think on these questions as do other
Democrats. While we may differ let
us concede honesty to each other and
try to get together.
Equally unwise is the wholesale de-
%nunciation of railroads. The effect
can but be to drive the latter with all
their powerful influence into the ranks
of our opponents. Nor is there any
Justice in it. The railroads r as es.
sential to the Democratic party as the
Democratic party is to the railroads
Reconciliation rather than repulsior
is what is needed. At the rate we
have been going in Missouri for many
months past we will have no Demo
cratic party to speak of before very
long unless a halt is called. While
the party should take no equivocal
grounds on any public question, let il
pursue a policy that will rally all ito
followers under one standard and not
one which will certainly insure disas-

That Convention.

From the Auxvasse MO- Review.
The action of the Democratic State
Central Committee in refusing to call
a State Convention to take action on
the silver question has not been a sur
prise to anyone and it meets the
approval of a large number of Demo-
Gratis. Many leading Democrats who
are unqualifidely in favor of free COIN
age at 16 to 1 were opposed to a con-
vention at this time. 1t is safe to say
that a large majority ofMissouri Dem
ocrats are in favor of free coinage at
16 to /, but, we doubt very much If a
majority desired a State Convention.
Now that the committee has spoken,
we believe any further effort to hold
a convention this year will bring use
less dissension an strife within the
party. Strife and dissension should
be avoided unless some great good
that will over-balance this evil Of
strife and dissention could be accom-
plished. No good could come from
such a convention.

A Silly Attack ON Bloomers.

~ 49,
A Chicago alderman has introduced
an ordinance which prohibits female
bicyclists from wearing boomers,
knickerbockers, or other bifurcated
outer garments.
The aforesaid Chicago alderman is a
fool. The costume of women, like that
of men, is regulated by custom, not by
law.
Furthermore, we do notbelieve that
any city council, or even any state
legislature, has the right to make an
enactment of the kind contemplated
in this ordinance.
The object of clothing is twofold; to
afford protection to the body, and to
conserve proper modesty. For a WON
an to appear in public without any
clothing, or wearing but a sembiance
thereof tights or fieshings, for in
stance-would be repugnant to the
moral sense of the community, and
hence could preeesiy be restrained.
But this objection cannot lie against
boomers, knickerbockers, or whatever
else the skirtless neither garment of
the moman bicyclist may be called. 1t
is q complete covering to the person,
and reveals even less of the outlines
of the form than some styles of dress
skirts which have been the fashion.
Nor a it be said with truth that it
is the adoption of male costume. There
is no possibility of mistaking a woman
riding in boomers for a man. The cos
tune is entirely distinctive. 1t is a
costume tor a special occasion OIL &C.
cupation, and it is foolish to claim
that a woman so dressed is masque-
rading in mans attire.
Finally, brethren, it is better to let
the women do as they please in this
matter, for they will do SC anyhow,or n
dinance or no ordinance. Besides,
such a prohibition is a clear infringe
ment of personal liberty, and not to be
tolerated by a free people.

Missonri,s Old Soldiers.
From the Kansas City star


Missouri is a great country for SOL
diers. During the great civil war 1t
would appear that almost the entire
male population of sufficient age was
called on to bear arms. Between the
Union and Confederate forces there
was, as Phil Kearny phrased it, 'iovely
fighting along the whole line" There
was no community that did not expert
ence the sighs and sounds, the excite
ments and alarms of war. After hos
~tilities had ceased the military element
was largely reinforced from beyond
the Mississippi. In those days Mis-
souri, wis considered a new county and
was sol ght by immigrants. Certain
portions OF the state counted al
"homestead country" The disbanded
soldiers of both armies came to Mis-
souri,. This gave us a great MARTA,
population.

without that anyhow. We always
found a good deal in the other papers

BREEDING Off Horns.

W. r.. Anderson in Orange Judd Farmer.
In 'S8 I had n herd of horned cows. l
did not want to cut off their horns but
determined to get rid of them in some
l bred them to a polled bull
whose mother was u horned cow. To
my surprise but one in ten of the
calves had horns. In '91 | had n fine
herd of polled heifers, having sold all
my horned cattle. These polled heif-
ers thus produced from horned moth
ers by a bull from a horned mother
never had a horned calf, although all
my bulls have been from horned
mothers. This shows how easy 1t is to
breed off horns. True, it takes time,
yet | think it is the best way.
In my experience L find horned cat
tie require as much again stable room
as polls, for / herd all my young cat
tie in a large pen, like sheep, until
they are ready to drop their first
calves. All the oldest cattle are kept
in another shed in the same way, un-
less / milk them then for convenience
l put them in stalls. They gather at
the feed troughs as thick as they can
crowd, none disturbing the others. 1t
is not one-fourth the labor to stable
| them, since ! use no chains, stanchions
or halters. None are vicious or wild,
though some of their horned mothers
| were.
