CABINET CHATTER.

It seems to be the general opinion that
Minnesota will be recognized in President
McKinley's cabinet. Senator Davis or W.
K. Merriam would either make excellent cab
met officers and bring credit to the North
Star state.-Worthington Herald.
Bill Merriam seems to be standing candi-
date for the first good thing offered Mime
sofa. There are other men in the state better
qualified, who unfortunately have not the
money to make them ayailable.-Hinckley En-
terprise.
William R. Merriam will probably grace
McKfnley's cabinet in the role Of secretary of
the treasury. William is a hummer in the
finance line. and could no doubt concoct
currency scheme to suit his party and knock
out fatism for all time.-Rothsay Herald.
We always gave William R. Merriam credit
for political as well business shrewdness
but his petition for Mckinley to appoint him
TO a cabinet position does not confirm our
belief. Cabinet positions do not come that
wainwright County Times.
Banker William R. Merriam demands his
reward for purchasing McKinley's and
eCiougn.s ms1orlties in Minnesota. His friends
automaton the primaries last spring: that
the county bosses Topped at his command,
ana anu now ne proposes to. be secretary of the
treasury or the interior under the new Roths
child presidential deal. That Hanna and
himself will amicably arrange the matter is
oeleyed by the best informed stool pigeons

saints, has been on pilgrimage to Canton

McKinley's smile which chilled him is not

Senator c. K. Davis and ex-Goy. w p
merriam are mentioned by the press of this
state as available men for President McKin-
ley cabinet. 1t Is believed that the legal
training Of Senator Davis and his MANY wears
affairs committee of the senate fit him for
the responsible position of secretary of state.
and Gov. Merriam's knowledge of money
matters and his great executive ability are
sufnc1ent assurances that he would exercise
with intelligence that now most important
branch OF the national executive department
the secretary of the treasury. However IT IS
will be honored with appointments to such
nigh positions. Davis may be offered q

will in all probability be left to continue
his stubborn fight for position in the United

Effect of the Franking Privilege on
Campaign Mail Matter

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-The Octo-
Der statement of receipts at the thirty
largest postoffices in the country shows
net decrease Of $43, ia, or one and
four-tenths per cent as compared to
Oct the previous year, and there is
nothing significant in this fact, as it is
attributed to business inactivity in the
heat Of the political campaign The
increase Of mail carried during the
campaign is stated by postal officials
to be made up largely Of franked mat
ter so that there was little to offset
business Hstlessness. The total receipts
for the month at these thirty largest
offices were 1882, 1871 against 81, 976, 482
in October, 1885, New York decreased
from Sill, 6O2 to 1851 1884, while Chicago
icnreased from $495, 1852 to $465, 913 The

EARL RUSSELL's CASE.

His MOtheF-in-Law.
LONDON, Nov. 24-When the trial
of Lady Selma Scott, mother of Count
ess Russell, John Cockerton, an engi-
neer, Frederick Kast, a groom, and
William Aylott, a valet, charged by
Earl Russell with a criminal libel, was
resumed at the Old Bailey this morn i.
ing, Justice Hawkins announced that
a scandalous attempt had been made to
tamper with the jury by means of an
anonymous letter to the foreman. Earl
Russell was the first witness today,
and he emphatically denied the allega-
lions Of misconduct. After Earl Rus
sell had been on the witness stand for
a couple of hours, M. Hall, counsel for
the male defendants, applied for per-
mission to alter the dates in the plea
of justification his clients had made
Mr.. Halls application brought on a
sharp alteration with the bench, dur
ing which Justice Hawkins holly
charged Mr.. Hall with being disrespect-
full to him and with insulting Sir Frank
Lockwood, @. c., counsel for the earl.
Mr. Hall thereupon apologized, and the
incident was closed by the justice
stating that any alteration Of the dates
in the plea Of Mr.. Halls clients would
have to be supported by the strongest
affidavits. The case was adjourned I'M
til tomorrow.

courage. He was nearly out Of the

coin slipped from his fingers and fell
to the bottom of the wagon. wait a
second and I'll get it, 1.-THE boy added.
Leaning over as if to search for the
coin the boy slipped the roll of bills
into his shoe. Then he recovered the
quarter. The highwayman made the
boy get out of the wagon and submit to
a search, which brought forth nothing
more than the silver coin. They took
this and started up the road.

the campaign was over for a time at

business. This may possibly be taken
as an intimation that Senator Roach
is not so strongly welded to silver as
he was a year or so ago. Still, 1t is

with the silver senators whenever
vote is taken. He Is inclined to be
