Senator John Sherman is quoted as say
ing that he is not candidate for the presi-
dency, "and if all the people in the United
States should join together and offer it to
me | would not accept the position. | am
too old. No man of II has the right to
undertake the work and responsibility
which come to the chief executive of the
United States" The senator adds that the
president ought to be a man of leisure and
not a political hack; that his cabinet min
listers should relieve him from the drudgery
of details, and his time should be his own
to study public affairs and questions, ''in-
stead of being devoted to examining the
papers of petty postmasters, or the tide
walters of every small custom house"

BEST OF HER CLASS.
The New Battleship Indiana a Good
%enbOat.

Philadelphia, Oct. 20.-The United States
steamer Indiana. which left Boston FRI
day night, arrived at her dock at Cramps
ship yard at o'clock this afternoon. On
the trip around, the members of the gov
eminent trial board made a 81 hours
test of the ships coal consumption. the
results of which will be worked out and
submitted TO the secretary of the navy.
Edwin S. Cramp. who had charge of the
trip. said the Indiana averaged l3 knots
an hour from Boston TO Delaware break
water. distance of Ala knots. This is
almost equal to the time made by the
cruisers under ordinary draught. and is
remarkably fast travelling when the fact
IS considered that the Indiana is built for
fighting, not for speed. Last night the
ship encountered a severe gale, but
weathered it beautifully. Only a few of
those who were on board when the official
trial off the Massachusetts coast was had
last Friday came back on the ship Capt.
Evans. her future commander. stuck TO
his post, however, and was enthusiastic
IN his praise Of the sea going and fighting

view lie reiterated his former declaration
that the Indiana IS the finest ship of her

the engines were worked under forced
draught for a while and the patent log
showed speed OF is 3-l0 knots an hour.

GARFIELD AS A NAN.
John Shermans Comments on
the Martyr President.
HE LACKED IN WILL POWER.
The Cincinnati Enquirer Goes Fur
Their Than the senator In Its
Structures on the Dead.

Cincinnati, Oct. s.-The Enquirer edi-
toriaIiy saws. THE Enquirer presented
yesterday enough about the new book ny
Senator John Sherman TO indicate that IL
is probably the most valuable cOntrlou-
ton to the political history OF this coun-
try published for a generation. sherman
has always been party man, but history
can not be written like campaign doca-
ment, and this historian can not expect
TO escape harsh feelings and perhaps Sc
we're criticism II he writes of the times IN
which he acted himself.
Mr.. Sherman speaks in high terms or
the personality and eloquerce of Garheld,
but says he was man lacking in VIII
power and changed his opinions easily.
This is faithful picture, expressed IN
terms OF reserve. Mr.. Sherman might
have gone farther and only reflected the
views Of contemporaneous RepuDllcah
politicians who associated with the mar
tyr president. and said that while GarneId
was a good stumper and qualified 10 act
in legislative bodies under direction ana
restraint, he was unfit for leadership Inc
statement in this new chapter in pottlcai
history that Garfield, in making up his
cabinet. was guided by James e. biaihe
in his resolve not 10 retain sherman as
secretary of the treasury is another Sig
nificant reminder. II was the opinion or
many experienced and thoughtful men
that Blaine would run the Garfield admin
istratjon. The assassin's bullet cut of
stormy administration In all probability.
when so distinguished a statesman as
John Sherman takes these matters up IL
is fairly within the province or current
Journalism to say that had Garfield sur
vived his position as president OF the
United States he would have been almost
pitiable, unless his friends had risen ana
brought an irresistible pressure TO bear
to GUST Blaine from the cabinet. Carried
was always taken care Of by his friends
in politics He was looked upon as val
liable factor in party work. whose intel
lect and eloquence should not be allowed
any sense a leader.
MIR. Sherman's book gives some indie
pendent views touching ex-President Har-
rison that may be of immediate applica-
ton: and his criticism of the Grant ad-
ininistration will be of service in teaching
the people that under our system OF gov
eminent all wisdom and practical knowl-
edge of affairs need not necessarily be
conferred In the chief executive. The pres
ident of the United States who undertakes
TO run everything in person is usually the
most conspicuous as failure. The posi-
ton of secretary of the treasury would
have been an ideal one for Mr.. sherman
under Grant as 1t was under Hayes. In
deed. 1t is well understood that Mr.. Sher-
man would revolt against cabinet service
under such dominating men as Harrison
and Cleveland. He would exercise in fact
the independent power which congress
confers on the secretary Of the treasury,
or resign in self-respect."
