SAM ALLERTON,s MERITS.

A dense web OF speculation has been
uel Wellington Allerton, of Chicago, an
eminent pork packer of that town, who is
said to be much loved by the farmers; and
for this reason, perhaps for these two rea-
sons, the name of AIerton has already be-
come familiar as a possible Secretary Of
Agriculture in Mr.. McKinley's Cabinet.
Now the speculation has taken a
fevered, upward jump. The name of
Alerton is connected with the Navy
Department. the more so since the
name of Commodore Cornelius n Bliss, of
the Hoboken Yacht Club, has been rudeIy
wiped from the Cabinet slate. Has Mr..
Samuel Wellington Allerton had experience
in naval affairs? Unquestionably. He
owns a catboat on Lake Geneva, Wis. and
it is said he has tried to sail it with his
OWNS hands. II is related that ON one oc-
casion, indeed, he himself held the tiller,
and personally and at the same time took
double reef in the foretopmast staysail:
and what is still more remarkable,
he did this without falling over
board
Mr. AIerton tried to secure the last
national Republican convention for
Chicago, but he didn't put up the
money that Mr.. Kohlsaat had been led to
expect from him. He was highly and fire.
quently spoken Of as secretary of the Farnl-
ing Department under the Harrison admin
istration. That this gossip with reference
TO the Mckinley administration should have
been revived, and that Mr.. Allerton should
now be spoken Of as just as likely to be
Secretary Of the Navy as OF Agriculture, is
certainly very high compliment to gem
tleman of his capacities, agricultural.
nautical and naval.

WASHINGTON. D. C. JANUARY l6 1897
THOMAS COLLIER PLATT.

The gentleman from - Broadway, New
York city, has been nominated for United
States Senator, and everybody knew that
he would be. 1t was the inevitable thing
and let il be noted here, once more and
over again, that Thomas Collier Platt is
one of the remarkable men of his gen
Grafton. IL is true, he is accused of hay-
ing made a mistake when he induced the
ma jestic Conking to strut out of office
like a turkey gobbler; yet If the subse-
uuent career OF Mr.. Plat be observed close
ly perhaps that step was not a mistake
after all. 1t soured Conkiing, but it only
softened Platt. He was the same good
party man, and he went to work in the
ranks when there was no commanding
opportunity, offering 10 refabilitate him
self by rehabiiitatiug his party. His has
always been a loyal and disinterested kind
of politics, and it is NIT strange that he
should be chosen by exclamation, asitwere,
to the longtime leadership of the New York
Republicans, nor is it strange that when
the first adequate opportunity to reward
him presented itself they should have em-
braced it, 1t viii be said that Mr. Platt
is rot a statesman. Perhaps not. But let
Us ask how many statesmen are also
politicians. and if public man cannot do
both. might he not better be familiar with
the practical means by which beneficent
things are actually accomplished rather
than enjoy the empty and impotent dis
tinction Of making a speech in the Senate
OF somewhere else now and then?
The morning times., 1897-01-16
SENATOR HoAR AND HIS VICTIM.

Senator George FriSbie Boar, of MasSa-
ciusetts, if he lives until the 29th OF
August, will be seventy-one years of age
year beyond the term allotted by the
Psalnst. Our fervent wish is that he may
live beyond that term in order that he may
have time for repentance and reparation.
Senator Hoar has been favored with large
and continuous dignities by the State Of
Massachusetts. This has happened, not be-
cause there are not better and ADLER and
more willing men in that good old State,
but principally, we fancy, because he got
fairly placed upon the track in his youth
and has been difficult TO disiodge
Senator Hoar has been State legislator,
a city prosecuting attorney, eight years a
Representative in Congress, and for nearly
twenty years a Senator.
In 1876 Mr.. Hoar acquired considerable
reputation as a courageous and independ-
ent man by his denunciatory prosecution of
a member OF Ills own party-the late Gen.
Belknap-and, while enjoying this brief but
really unmerited distinction, he was ac-
cepted by the Democrats as a member Of
the electoral commission, which, by vote
ofeigilt TO seyen-Hoar making the eighth
cheated the people out Of the President
they had fairly elected, and installed the
shamblng Hayes in. his stead.
For George Frisbie Hoar, since that
memorable vote, whatever his assumptions
or pretensions have been, we have had
very little respect. If we were sent out to
bring in Senator whose word could be
relied on-in spirit as well as in letter we
should pass by Mr.. Hoar and come back
with either MI Quay O. Mr.. Tom Plat.

Snap Shot Interviews

- There is small group OF people here
in Washington who get things done, who
accomplish things. There are not many
OF them, numerically, but they may al
most be said to control che business and
the enhancement Of the town. Some one
OF them is always behind any large I'M
provement. cur unwritten history, il it
could be written, would have their names
on its pages frequently These people OBJ

POST oBIT BRIBERY.

Evidently the wickednessof Delaware has
penetrated TO neighboring State; even
into the confines OF the Quaker City. a
Philadelphia man lately died, which is not
surprising il a place where ennui is cpl
demic; but, in performing that act. he
crowned his END with d testamentary effort
TO make himself solid, alike with his Maker
ana the other party, in a manner unique
IL not exemplary. He devised $4,000 to
q Presbyterian Church on condition that
the beguest should be forfeited in case the
beneficiary should ever commit any act
couItenancing what he considered the
pernicious fallacy OF prohibition, or its
for the total suppression by law of the man
ufac:ure, sale or consumption of liquors
that will intoxicate when abused or used
TO excess, or commit any act OF proscrp-
tion against any person Of good moral
character, by reason Of his being engaged
IN such manufacture or sale or because OF
his rational and temperate use OF such
liquors.
1t is perhaps unnecessary TO add that the
church declined the bequest. 1t reverted
tothe Free Public Library OF Philadelphia,
an institution whose purposes and or
ganization enable it TO swallow the string
attached, without injury to public
morals or religious ethics. Readers VIII
think, with a tear, that the man who could
deliberately attempt a Iost-mortem bribe
on church, may not row be receiving all
