WANTS a NEGRO IN THE
CABINET.

The Washington Post. II Mckinley

point a negro to a cabinet position in
recognition Of the services of that race

are, besides, many other co'ored men

The Post continues: "Retntn;ng t"
the abstract p, opposition. however. it
Is clear to us hat Mr.. Mckinley owes
his election, first to the idelity and
wise foresight Of the colored delegates
at St. Louls, aud secondly 10 the loyal
support of the colortd voters in half a

Bryan has reopened the fight FIR III
metallism BY two speeches delivered
last Saturday IL Lincoln, Neb. We
fear it is a great mistake to start the
agitation at this time.
The incoming administration should
be given a fair trial. Mckinley has
promised us prosperity under a high
protective tariff; the people have de-
cided in his favor; give him a chance
to try his remedy.
If, a. we have predicted. a high tar
If is not the remedy, and it fails, as
W anticipate. to bring prosperity IT,
the masses Of the people, these will
find it out in time, and will not be slow
iu applying the right remedy.
Besides, there is trouble brewing in
the Republican camp over proposed
financial legislation and the proper in
depreciation Of the meaning of the
election, and it il wise policy to give
our friends, the enemy, all the rope
they want.

Speaking Of Bryan 10 his wonderful
campaign and admirable self posses
sion and conduct in the close thereof,
the Mobile Register remarks:
Throughout his whole tour he has
exhibited a disregard Of self, an abb
sence Of egntism and a simplicity o.
manner and purpose that have CON-
mended him most highly to the atten-
ton ~ Of those people wEo differ
radically with him III opinion and, at
the end, lie completes his good record
by yielding III tho same charming
manner 10 the inevitable and extend
ing his congratulations to his victo-
rious opponent. II hasten to extend
my congratulations" he writes to Mai.
| Mckinley. and he adds: I've have
submitted the issue to the American
people, and their will is law" In both
phrases he strikes the keynote Of
American manhood: Courtesy toward
the opponent and cheerful and abso-
lutte acquiescence 10 the decision Of
the majority. Such conduct strength
ems the republic.

Senator Sawyer is a veteran. His
political life began over forty years
ago. During that time he has seen
many v ictorles won by his party, and
he has seen tile fruits Of some OF those
victories thrown away By inexcusable
errors. Therefore, he il moved to
observe that .Reason and moderation
ID the hour Of victory are prime neces
sites, and this il the lesson | would
hold up after this election" That
lesson was not held up after the vic
tory Of 1888. Reason and moderation
we're not remembered in 1890, and the
result was a bad defeat in the fall Of
that year, and another III 1892. Tie
Republicans will be wiser next year
thar they were six years ago.-Chicagc

The talk Of retiring the greenbacks

The talk Of retiring the greenbacks
has been renewed since the election.
Whether it will be wise policy to do
SO may admit of some doubt, but there
il no doubt that something must be
done to break their quality by which
they can be used as an endless chain
to drain the United States Treasury of
its gold. No government can stand
for any length Of time the strain to
which ours can he put by the pig
headed financial system which admits
Of the use of the same notes to draw
al in1initam the gold out Of the treas
ury.
1t is owing to this vicious system
that the Cleveland administration was
forced to issue bonds in time Of peace,
aud unless the system is altered Nc
Kinley's administration will be con
stantly menaced with a recurrence Of
the same unsatisfactory conditions re.
curing a bond issue to relieve tbe
situation.
By all means, let the chain be bro
ken, whether d not the greenbackt
are retired.

The press Of the country has raised
it's voice against the evil Of frivolous
contests il Congress, which have be-
come not only q source Of great ex-
pense to the American people but u
fountain Of bad feelings and constant
irritation, menacing the peace and
quiet OF the communities whence these
contests spring.
There i y effective way to stamp
out the evil and that is, for Congress
TO decide each Ease strictly on its mer-

ONE VIEW OFT.

Our esteemed contemporary the
Daily States thus comments upon the
Republican v%indication of the .'pnr
chasing power Of the dollar:
"Whatever may be said Of the fnan-
cial question, the Republicans have
clearly INDICATED the purchasing
power OF the dollar in the doubtful
States. 1t will be remembered that
in the campaign Of 1888, when Blocks
of-fve Dudley had the manipulation
of the corruption fund, as Hanna had
in the late election, Indiana votes
we're quoted in the market at So a
head-clleaper than negro votes could
be bought 10 Lonisiana-and they
went off like hot cakes at that figure,
None of the financial authorities have
yet, SO far a we know. given quota
tions for this presidential year, though
it maybe assumed, as holders were Sc
numerous and SO eager to sell, thai
the hears got control of tile market
aud forced down prices"

Remarks tue Charleston News and
Courier:
"Mr. Mckinley will probably make
a safe President, although he repre-
sents a political party that cannot be
trusted, and he stands for a policy
which made the Bryan movement pos
slbie. CIR at promises have been made
for him and his administration. We
hope that they will be fulfilled, but an
immediate revival Of business can
hardly be expected. The stability Of
the national credit will be maintained
for the present at least. and we NAV
hope after the dangers through which,
we have passed that there will be
such reforms in the financial system as
will make all parts Of the country
equal sharers in the blessings of good
government"
The News and Courier was a gold
organ and fought against the Chicago
platform, but it seems to entertain Il
lingering doubt concerning the fulfil
ment uf the promises made for Mckin-
ley and his administration. The News
and Courier admits that some reforms
in the financial system are necessary
to snake all parts OF the country
equal sharers in the blessings Of good
government"
Well, the Democrats commended that
such reforms were necessary and tiley
specified the proposed reforms, but
the s'sound money" or gold organs and
people maintained that the present
system was all right; all that was
needed, they said, was confidence.
W. hardly expected them so soon
after the election to admit that reforms
of our financial system were necessary.
We are glad, however, TO witness such
frankness ; it augurs a disposition to
atte npt some legislation 70 relieve the
situation.

THE REPUBLICANS AND THE
TARIFF

It now appears that certain infn-
ences are at work in the Republican
party to prevent the passage Of u gen
eral tariff Till. or even the Dingley
emergency bill. as il is called. because
it is claimed that the agitation of the
tariff question at this time would act
as 4 sudden check to the present in
'dustrial and commercial activity and
set back all Kinds Of business. To Sc
cure te needed trvenue, however, to
meet the expenses Of the government
it is proposed to place MI additional
tax If one dollar a barrel on beer and
to impose a small duty OF G aud cof-
fee. bat ii this il done what will be-
come Of the Republican cry about
taxiag The poor mans breakfast fable
wlsicl. they dinned into the ears Of the
people necessarily when the Wilson
bill! was pending in Congress. In spite
Of the criticisms Of this bill. it pro-
vldes ample protection t. the indus
tries OF this county, while reducing
the cost Of the nrcessaries of life, ard
there is every reason 10 believe that
when it gets fairly in operation it will
provide all the ven the govern
ment needs and leave annually a small
surplus in the treasury. That there
will be srrnng opposition to the plan
to raise additional revenue ty increas-
ing The lax on beer, and imposing
smaali duties on tea and coffee il az
Certain as the sun shines. The great
trusts and manufacturing industries u
which Major Mckinley is the recos
niz-d champion in and out ct Congress,
are greedy, and will demand the pas
sage Of Il tariff act which will enable
them to raise the price of all tl.eil
products. aud it is quite safe ~ say
that the Republican majority in Cnn-
gress will comply with the demdnd.-

opinion nf the press as to the fairness
oi the last election;
lit is the general verdict of the
press that ii tile late election in this
State was not Il fair one there is No
use to trying secure fair ones"
That is true ; and yet some disap-
pointed people still cling with tie
desperation Of a drowning man to the
old cry of fraud. They are so used to
il, that they can't do without tue
salve,
On tile other hand, there are some
who object to the new method Of vOt-
ing because it is too fair-they cant
folce their dependents to vote accord
ing to their dictation by putting a
ticket in their hands and following
them until it reaches the box. Moral
intimidation aud coercion are discoun-
ted under the new method, much to
