Salvation Shout.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, March s.
Brigadier Gen. Cozzens, of the Sal
walton army at this city, says:
"The statement that all the briga-
diers except one in this country
are English is not true. On the
contrary, with the possible excep-
ton of Brigadier General Evans,
Of New York, all the brigadiers in
the army in America are natural
lied citizens of the United States.
Only four are English-Evans, of
New York; Evans, Of Philadel-
phia; French, Of st. Louis, and
Sully, of Kansas City. Fielding,
of Chicago, is an Ohioan, and was
a member of the national guard,
present at the courthouse riot in
Cincinnati in 1884. Broder, of Bos-
ton, is also an an American.
Kepel, Of San Francisco, was born
in Ireland. Holse, of Buffalo, is of
German BIRTH" Cozzens is a
French Huguenot. He says those
of English proclivities are most
favorable to Darlington Booth.
Those of American tendencies pro-
pose to stand by the guns, under
the old general.

Our National Pride.


The pride an American takes In com
pairing the beauties of the United States
TO those of other countrie, is proverbial.
The German will tell OF the scenic mag
nificence OF the Rhine valley, the Ameri-
can will declare that ii pales into insig-
nifcance when compared to the Hudson
river: the Italian will puff up with pride
when he tells of Vesuvius and its con-
tinual fire, the American will slyly In
form him that Niagara Falls II turned In
TO its crater would put the fire out In five
minutes. Even John Bull IS now forced
70 admit that our ST. Louis Union station,
the largest In the world, far suppresses
ANYTHING of this kind he has In his coun-
try. Though only recently built no per-
son has any excuse for not having some
idea of what this depot looks like, as
everywhere is seen the beautiful calendar
which the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railway has Issued for 1896. This calen-
dar is a copper plate engraving, repre-
septing the we'll known Katy trade mark,
In the center of which is seen a perfect
reproduction of this depot, making very
pretty ornament as we'll as useful ar
ticle. These calendars can be obtained

PRESIDENT AND CABINET.

General Harrison Describes the Duties Of
the Chief Executives Advisers,
Gin all important matters the
president is consulted by all the
secretaries" writes exp resident
Harrison in March Ladies' Home
Journal, in an article upon "The
Presidents Duties she is re-
spousible for all executive action
and everything that is out of the
routine receives his attention.
Every important foreign compli-
cation is usually discussed with
him, and the diplomatic note re-
ceives his approval. The same
thing is true Of each Of the depart
ments. Routine matters proceed
without the knowledge or inter-
ference OF the president; but, II
any matter Of major Importance
arises, the secretary presents it
for the consideration and 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 expression
upon any question in his depart
ment, presents it, and 1t is dis
cussed but usually questions are
settled in a conference between
the president and the head OF the
particular department. There Is
a yielding Of views, now on one
side, now on the other; but 1t
must, of course. follow that when
the president has views that he
feels he cannot yield, those views
must prevail, for the RESPONSE
bility is his both in q constitution
al and popular sense. My habit
was to give an afternoon to each
cabinet officer, on a fixed day OF
the week. These meetings were
chiefly given up to the consider
alton of appointments, but il any
other matters were pending, and
deemed by the secretary Of suf-
ficient importance, they were
presented and discussed. The
labors of a cabinet officer are in
cessant and full OF responsibility.
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. Certain appointments,
chiefly OF clerical character, are
by law given to the heads Of the de-
partments and with these the presi.
dent usually refusee 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
weary hour explaining to friends
why 1 could not do So"
