PRESIDENT AND Cabinet.

''In all important matters the Pres
ident is consulted by all the Secreta-
ries," writes President Harrison in
March LADIES' Home Journal, in an ar
ticle upon 'tThe Presidents Duties"
"He is responsible for all executive
action, and everything that is out of
the routine receives his attention.
Every important foreign complica-
ton is usually discussed with him, and
the diplomatic note receives his ap-
proval. The same thing is true of
each of the departments. Routine
matters proceed without the knowl-
edge or interference of the President;
but, if any matter of ajor import
ance arises the Secretary presents it
for the consideration ard advice of
the President. Only matters of great
and general Importance affecting the
general policy of the administration
are discussed in the cabinet meetings
according to my experience-and
votes are of rare occurrence. Any
Secretary desiring to have an express
sion upon any question in his depart
ment presents it, and it is discussed;
but usually questions are settled in
conference between the President and
the head of the particular department.
There is yielding of views, now on
one side, now on the other; but it
must, of course, follow that when the
President has views that he feels he
can not yield, those views must pre-
vail, for the responsibility is his, both
in a Constitutional and popular sense.
My habit was to give an afternoon to
each Cabinet officer, on fixed day
of the week. These meetings were
chiefly given up to the consideration
of appointments, but if any other
matters were pending, and deemed
by the Secretary of sufficient import
ance, they were presented and dis
cussed. The labors of Cabinet Of
fcer are incessant and full of respons-
iDility. His time is largely taken up
with calls, and, like the President, he
must, out of such fragments of time
as he can secure, manage to study
and decide the important questions
that are daily presented to him. Ger
tain appointments, chiefly of cleri-
cal character, are by law given to the
heads of theedepartments, and with
these the President usually refuses to
interfere, though often urged to do so.
1t was my practice to refuse to send
any card of recommendation to a
Secretary, though spent many wea-
ry hours explaining to friends why /
could not do So"

DR.. Jameson and his band of adVen-
turers have arrived in England, and
the news is sent out that the men,
who are mostly young Englishmen of
'good families' have been sent to
their homes. Some part of the world
will look with considerable interest
for what will be done with them, and
another part is pretty we'll satisfied in
advance that it will be-nothing. The
understanding arrived at with Cecil
Rhodes, and his quick return to the
part of the world where he has played
SO large a part for so many years,
satisfies this latter part of the world
that the design of consolidating South
Africa under British Influences has
not been given up, and it will not be
surprised if all of Jameson's men who
are so minded will be back in South
Africa before the first anniversary Of
their escapade comes around. "Man-
fest destiny'' is not to be denied

CHRISTIAN CITIZENSHIP.

Christian young people who are so
earnestly cooperating in the great
movement for Christian citizenship
which exalts Christ as present and
rightful king over all human affairs,
and who are looking back with pride
and gratitude to the origin of our ma
ton in Christian colonies and institu
tions and forward to the full consum-
nation of our patriotic faith in God
for our country, will find in the Chris
tian amendment just introduced into
the national congress the best ex-
preston of their fundamental idea of
Christian government. Pledged to do
what Christ would have us do also in
politics we believe that Christ who
insists so strenuously upon confession
of his name everywhere else will help
us to inscribe it in our constitution.
This battle for the retention of Chris
tian features in American political
life is forced by those who would
destroy the Sabbath, the day of
Thanksgiving, the Christian oath,
such Acknowledgements of God and
Christ We can do no less if we con-
fess Christ at all in our relation as cit
izens. Young peoples societies are
earnestly urged to secure petitions
for the amendment and to circulate
them wherever possible. There is
no peril to any ones freedom in
Christianized laws, but no one is safe
when the nation denies God and
Christ. The Supreme Court has de-
clared that we are Christian nation;
shall We not openly confess it in fun
damental law?

said anything in it's platforms or in it's
legislation to warrant the assumption
that it is or ever can be free silver
party. 1t has said, however, that it
is Protectionist party, and it has
steadily placed the cause of protec-
ton to American industry in the first
place in the list of it's principles. So
that when Republican senator votes
against Republican revenue meas
ure because other Republicans have
voted against a free silver measure
he commits a plain act of treachery
to his party and of bad faith to the
people who elected him and to the
platform on which he obtained office.
Tt may be that in Mr.. Carter's State,
as in Colorado and Utah, Republican
officials are pleged to the support of
free silver, but they were not pledged
to the defeat of Republican revenue
bill. They were not authorized to
pursue policy Of obstru ;tion and
retaliation. They were not told that
unless they were able to overaWe the
majority of their party they should
refuse to allow bill to be considered
which reflected it's only great and en-
during principle.-Ih Press.

FREE SILVER TRE4 CHERRY.

Senator Carter's extraordinary
speech attempting to justify himself
and the other free silver Republican
Senators in their course of opposition
to the tariff bill widens the breach
between the free silver element of
the Republican party and the great
body of its adherents. 1t was weak
and Incorporate address based on the
theory that because some Eastern
Republicans had said sharp things
about some Western Republicans he
and his free silver associates were en-
titled to refuse their support to the
Republican revenue bill. Mr.. Carter
is too sensible a man not to know that
this is an absurd and indefensible po-
sition. The party understands what
Mr.. Carter means. He means that he
knows that he is wrong and that the
only resort that is left to him is to try
to create some ground of offense
against his party.
The Republican party has never

AS anticipated, the blathering war
of'words between Corbett and Fitz-
simmons began at once after the RI
diculous performance with Maher
Fitzsimmons, it is said, ''jeers at Cor
belts challenge," announcing his
purpose to go to London and use his
championship to make money for sew
eral months, while Corbett loudly
proclaims his readiness to meet the
"champion" and nobody else. Is
there no possible way to silence these
loud barking ours? The community
is growing very weary of both.

Statements and counter statements
continue to come from the opposing
leaders in the feud in the Salvation
Army. 1t is not surprising to find
much sympathy with the English side
of the controversy in New England,
of the whole country. The fight, no
matter who may be technically in the
right, must be stopped very soon, or
it will be certain to cripple the organ
ization, and there are a good many
will survive even if the organization
does not.

Only three countries in the world
build ships amounting to over 10000
ions year, and the United States is
bne of the number. In 1895 the Unit
ed States turned out tonnage of a.,
BIZ, or about the same as that of Ger
many. The British yards f1oated $50, :
b67 tons, which is equivalent to say
ing that England in this line is first
and the rest nowhere.

The sub b-committee of the House
Naval Committee is said to have de-
cided to report recommendation for
the building of four new battleships,
though the members would like to re-
port in favor of six. 1t looks odd,per-
haps, to be providing for such vast
expenses when the revenue of the
government is not equal 20 paying
present expenses, but work of this
kind is a matter of time, while if our
present ratio OF expenses to receipts
is expected to continue indefinitely
we would as we'll go out of business
at once. But if the committee be-
Heves six ships to be advisable, it is
unwise to recommend only four. Bet
fer recommend the six, and let the
Congress reduce to four if it wishes.
If the committee recommends four
it will be quite likely be put off
with two. And there is grave reason
TO fear we may need all we can posi-
bly get within ten years.-IraUeler.
