Diplomacy and Ladders.

The case OF the young lady in this city
who knew five languages but failed OF
appointment as clerk in the War Depart
ment because she could not climb step
ladder, has not yet faded from the minds
Of the\people. Strictly speaking, it was
not charged that Miss Maud Stahlnaker
could not climb stepladder or that she
could not learn to do it; the statement Of
they would not ask her to do it, because
She was a woman. Their determination
in this chivalrous line of conduct is shown
by the fact that the place for which
q translator of five languages is badly
needed is still open, no man having been
found who has even remote prospect of
being able to pass the examination. 1t
is very nice of the War Department Of
ficials and very gallant OF them; and
luctance to assume the duties of the po-
sition, even if she did have to mount a
stepladder, or hire boy to do it, one
must conclude that their role is one of
protection. They have more care for
woman than she has for herself. 1t is
beautiful; it is noble.
Miss Stahlnaker, however, has not been
left out in the cold by this curious COM
piication. She has now secured a posi-
tiOO in tho State Danartmout at a sa,arv
of $1,000 year, where she only has to
translate four languages, and where, it
is hoped, the duties will not be too severe
for her. She will be able to use her
knowledge of English, French, German and
Spanish, and she will have to be an ex-
pert catalogUer and typewriter, and under
stand the compilation of consular reports
for publication. No other lady is en-
ployed in the bureau, but this, fortunately,
does not interfere with her chances. We
are glad that Miss Stahlnaker, with her
ability and her unusual requirements, has
secured something.
There is still another side to this situa-
ton, however. Why should not the State
Department have disqualified Miss Stahl-
necker because she could not, presum-
ably, climb a ladder. Are there no ladders
in the State Department? Are there no
deep, dark alcoves into which one must
swing down with one foot in loop OF
the rope? Are there no lofty heights to

Kindly Meant.

That the Hon. Marcus Aurelius Hanna
has arriyedin Washington everybody knows
by this time, and we are not inclined to
give further publicity to the fact But Mr.
Hanna has spoken. and, if he has not been
incorrectly quoted he has fallen into a com
mon error OF rhetoric, TO which we call his
attention and the attention Of the world.
81 will not take the oath Of Office he
says, until March ., etc, meaning doubt
less Il shall not take the oath Of office"
and so on. Again Mr.. Hanna says Tor he
is quoted as SAYING, Il will make nay home
at the Arlington" and so forth, meaning in
this case doubtless Il shall make my home
at the Arlington" etc.
1t is well for Mr.. Hanna to know, now
that he is beginning a political career which
is expected to be polite and cultured as
well as Iurid, that these little matters OF
rhetoric and grammar, however unimpor-
tant they may seem to be to ones success
in the iron business, ought not 10 be neglect
ed. VIII" signifies, in the context where
Mr.. Hanna uses 1t, either determination or
simple volition or willingness. If we inter
prct The eeNpressionliterally what he says is,
81 am determined not to take my OATH or
''I ann not willing to Do it; or, IN the other
ease, Il am determined to make my home
ut the Arlington or Il am willing to do
so. The word shall" would have made the
sentences clear, graceful and correct. 1t
denotes simple futunty.
These learned remarks apply, of course,
toparts Of verbs which accompany the first
personal pronoun; but that's the one which
Mr. Hanna uses.

The Weather Today.
The Cabinet.

Almost anything is possible in the last
maneuyering MI McCook, Of New York,
Is not so certain as he was OF place in
Mr.. McKinley's official family. II was
generally admitted in New York city, and
in Canton also, that Mr.. McCook had been
urged for the post OF Attorney General
chiefly 10y monopoly interests. Especially
was the Sugar trust, which is said to have
contributed a round million dollars 10 the
Hanna campaign fund, said 10 be pushing
Nr McCoog
This circumstance is easily credible also.
IL is easy To believe, we mean, that the
Sugar trust cont ributed a million dollars
TO the Hanna election fund, and also that
the trust managers not only expected 10 be
represented IN the new Mckinley Cabinet
Gas well, Of course, as in the managing
councils Of the Republican party, in the
Ways and Means Committee OF the House
and in the Finance Committee OF the
Senatel, but also that this understanding
was definite before the money was actually
paid to Mr. Hanna
Perhaps the change Of program, by
which, from present appearances, Mr.. Nc
Cook seems to be disillusioned as to the
necessity CT his presence at the Cabinet
table, may have been caused by the pub
Iicity which has been given in the last
few days to these reasonable surmises.
We observe, however, that Mr. McCook
will be in Washington simultaneously with
Mr. Mckinley, and for the peace of mind
of our friends, the managers OF the Sugar
trust, let US assure them that there is no
danger whatever that their interests VIII
be neglected by the Mckinley administra-
ton o. by its friends in either branch Of
Congress.
The morning times., 1897-02-28
The Troubles of Manager.

An eXpectant public has already had
some intimation that Mr.. Hanna, the Re-
publican chairman, had a definite plan in
view III coming To Washington to manage
the administration and the Senate, and,
in short, the whole thing He immedi-
ately begins business, now that he is here.
He goes to the Capitol to confer with
Senators about the complexlon so to call
it, OF that importantbo which is doubly
important at the present moment since it
is doubtful what kind OF tariff bill the
administration can push through, suppos-
ing that it can push through any tariff
bill at all
Yesterday Mr.. Hanna was caught con-
ferring with Hon. George Frisbie Hour,
| chairman of the Elections Committee OF
the Senate, with reference, it is said, to
the Oregon ease, for in Oregon be it noted
for future reference, no legislature has
been organized, and yet the legislature
has adjourned Mr.. Hoar tells Mr.. Hanna
that no Republican Senator from Oregon,
| appointed by the governor of that State,
Will quite do. So the Republican chair
man must be at the pains and expense
OF further dabbling in web foot politics
No matter what becomes of Mitchell he
must land" some Republican Senator from
Oregon. Otherwise the tariff Jig is up.
1t is reported now that doubt exists
whether Mr.. McCook is to be Attorney Cen
eral; that the Hanna and Mckinley cornbi-
nation is at last advising with Mr.. Thomas
C Platt, OF New York, as to a proper and
symmetrical completion OF q much-needed
Cabinet for the new President. II It is
true that they are now consulting Mr.
Flatt, it is also probably true that Mr.
Platt doesn't care SO very much whether
they take Ills advice or not-knowing very
well also that they are far more likely not
to take it after having sked for it than they
would have been if it had not been asked
for and freely given. 1t is possible-and
this is the point which we desire to en-
phasize that the Republican chairman is
finding his much wanted and long-felt bur
den as a center rush and all the rest Of the
Republican football team a little difficult
tomaintain. In other words, his triumphant
| chariot wheels may not always grind the OPP
position IN the dust Perhaps he, too, will
be obliged to concede something.
We feel quite certain, and desire to sub
NIT this proposition for the decision of our
readers, that Mr.. Hanna is extremely likely
during the next two months, which he
tells us he intends to spend n Washington,
10 be funnier than the Yellow Kid We
shall watch his movements Closely and
with such industry as we can command they
shall be recorded faithfully in these elastic
columns.

JACKSON ALLEGES PERJURY.
Pearl Bryan's Murderer Declares
Police Manufa ctured Evidence.

Cincinnati, Feb 27.-The Enquirer this
morning prints the following signed state
ment of Scott Jackson, condemned To die
for the murder OF Pearl Bryan:
The trial was managed by Prosecutor
Nelson. who conferred with Chief of Po-
lice Deitsch and Detectives Grim and Nc
Dermott as to the testimony to be offered
l could face my God and say that testi-
mony was perjured. 1t showed upon its
face that it was, and no better instance
can be found than in the positive contra
dlctions by unprejudiced persons OF the
statements OF the police officers concern
ing George II. Jackson's alleged identlfica-
tion OF me.
The States case was a manufactured
one, without any real foundation whatever
Any man of intelligence, who followed the
case, knows that l was not given fair
trial. Facts which should have been a
part OF the evidence were suppressed be
cause they did not agree with the per-
jured statements of policemen. 1 am
willing that this shall be published over
rny signature. l may have to die, but
do not have to fear to speak my mind
honestly"

The action OF the President In refusing

in question, but anxious to provide proper
means for the administration OF Justice
in the local courts, took prompt steps to
provide temporary successor to Mr..

grunt and put the bin in his pocket, and
there he has kept It for the full ten days
allowed by the Constitution for the Presi

1t appears from the newspaper reports
that Gen. Powell Clayton is in Washington,
and that he is staying at Mr.. Haunas
hotel. But the accounts add that Gen.
Clayton was too busy looking after his
private affairs to see Mr. Hanna in the
morning" Severalquestions surge through
the brain OF the anxious on-looker Did
Gen. Clayton see MI Hanna n the after
noon? Or was he too busy then; aud what
are Gen. Clayton's private affairs in Wash
ton? For, let US say, in all praise OF the
gentleman from Arkansas. that this com
nutity has come to look upon its dis
unguished guest from Little Roc, tor PCS
sibly from Fort Smith as having nothing
but public affairs to attend to- 1t has
been assumed by an unsuspecting political
world that Gen Clayton was to receive.
If not a Cabinet position, at least some
thing equally as good" at the hands OF
the next admin istration. It has even
been supposed that he would inherit Hon
Matt Ransom's salary. If not his celluloid
collars and cuffs. Has Gen. Clayton ar
ranged all of these matters? Has Mr.
Hanna been nailed down to something
definite? or what Is the cause OF the
Arkansan's indifference TO Mr.. Hanna 5
presence in the same hotel?
