are many colored men of brains. cour-
age. culture, and high personal char
acter capable Of discharging the duties
of n cabinet office with credit to- them
selves and to the incoming administra-
tion. MIR. Mckinley could provide him
self in that respect without any great
difficulty. and there eau be no doubt
that in doing so he would discharge
an honora BILE and conspicuous politi-
cal obligation.
Without calling into question either
the ability or the deserving of many
prominent representatives of the col
ored race. We think the proper view to
take of the duty of the president t-elect
in the formation of his family Of Of
ficial advisers and responsible lieuten-
ants Is that he should choose for each
place the Republican best qualified
therefor, regardless of age, color or
previous condition of servitude. We do
not favor the drawing of religious
or q racial line in national politics,
apd while the appointment OF negro
as member of the cabinet might be
acceptable II ne were clearly the hest
fitted man for the place, 1t would estab-
lish precedent subject to future mis-
Interpretation.
We guess, however. that Major Nc
Kinley can be trusted to do the right
thing for all reasonable elements with
in the party or outside Of it, without
much unsolicited advice.
