Secretary Carlisle is the member OF the
Cabinet who combines legal ability and
geography in his favor He is q resident
and avoter In the judicial district from W hich
Justice Jackson was appointed, and in which
be died. 1t is known that Secretary Car
Isle al one time was very ambitious to be
appointed to the United States Supreme
bench. That was at the time when there
was vacancy in the Chief Justiceship,
which was atterward filled by the appoint
ment OF Melville W. Fuller. Mr.. Car
Isle 8 name was urged upon the attention
1 OF President Cleveland at that time, and
| was seriously considered Blu, the Presi-
/ dent was advised that there would be con-
siderable opposition to the confirmation
| OF Senator Carlisle, for reasons which it
il believed do not now exist. But there are
. Some reasons for believing that he is not
now as ambitious to secure q judicial ap-
pointinent as he was when lie was an unSuc-
cessfui candidate for the position of Chief
Justice. At that time Secretary Carlisle
bad not attained the ambition for money
which IL Is row believed has taken q hold
upon him.-E. B. Wight in Chicago Inter
Ocean.
1t Is rumOred that Secretary Lamont is in
sympathy with the young blood of the sery.
Ice, and has u notion that nothing would be
more beneficial for the army than to keep it
on the move as much as possible, holding
that no man ought to be on the active list
who is not tnscondition to stand a military
campaign. There are about seventy-five
gray-headed and bald-headed ma1ors, can.
tains, and lieutenants, on the active list
whose waist eirths demand the use of sur
cingles rather than regulation belts, not
one in ten OF whom could stand a two
weeks march on horseback, to say nothing
OF two weeks fight.-O'Brien Moore.
In St. Louis Republic
AS stepping stone to something better.
IL is now asserted that Secretary Lamont is
candidate for the Governorship of New
York. II VIII be recalled that the story
was told more than two years ago that he
had desire to become chief executive Of
the Empire State; but, on account of the
great defeat suffered by Senator Hill In
the late campaign, it was supposed that he
had given up all idea OF sta nding for any
elective office in bis native State in the
near future.
1t Is said, however, that he has changed
his mind. This. in tome expects, is due to
the mistakes the Republicans have made in
governing the city of New York during tie
past few months. On account of the at
utude of Mayor Strong and President
Roosevelt, of tie board OF police commits
sioners of New York city Secretary Lamont
and other sArewd Democratic politicians
believe that there will be an excellent
opportunity for the Democrats to curry the
State, not only this fall, but in 1856, when
a chief executive is to be elected to succeed
Levi 2. Morton, the present Governor.
There are very few men in New York
who will probably try conclusions with
Lamont for the nomination next year 1t |
is pretty geneally conceded that, unless |
there is some unusual bitch in the Demo- |
cratic party in New York within the next |
few months, Mr.. Lamont will be able to |
secure the Democratic Gubernatoriai nomi- |
nation, and failing in this, there is |
possibility that he has an ambition even |
higher, and may become a candidate to !
succeed David B. Hill in the United States
Senate. S. Van Antwerp, in San Fran
