The sOuth and McIxinley's Cabinet.

The South and McINfnley's Cabinet.
The statement is made in one Of the most
prominent Of the papers which support
ed Mr.. Mckinley in the presidential cam
paign that the President-eleet desires to
have a southern man in his cabinet, but
that he doesn't know an available repre-
sentative southern republican who meas
ures up to the cabinet standard. Assum-
ing that this statement is true, an interest
ing question presents itself namely why
is il that the south is so barren Of repub-
licans who are available for cabinet posi-
tons?
There is no doubt that there are as many
men in the south, in proportion to the pop
ulation, as in the north who are entitled
to be regarded as statesmen. In fact the
south is rich in public men Of ability and
national reputation President Cleveland
had no difficulty in finding in the south
men well qualified to al positions in the
cabinet, and in the days when the whg
and democratic parties were the two great
parties of the country the south furnished
more than her fair proportion of the great
leaders of each party
Yes. there are plenty of brainy men in
the south who are known throughout the
country, but comparatively few of them
are in the republican party. In each of
the southern states that party casts
big vote in presidential elections, but it
is singularly lacking in the kind Of men
who are asked to accept cabinet positions.
And is not the republican party Itself
responsible for this condition of affairs?
II the republican party had dealt in
more liberal spirit with the south during
the many years IT was in control Of the
government would there not now be
somewhat different southern republican
party?
The republican leaders thought to get
and retain political control of the south
by means of the negro vote. They sue
ceeded in accomplishing their object for
a time but they made it difficult for white
men of prominence to affiliate with the re-
publican party. The few that did 50, either
for office or because they believed the
principles of that party were the best for
the country. suffered social ostracism for
a long time.
The feeling in the south against the par
ty has, of course. changed greatly in re-
cent years, but the fact remains that the
republican party itself is responsible 10
a very great extent, for the fact that so
few southern men of prominence are iden-
tilted with it. It made the negro vote sol
idly republican. and thus forced the race
problem to the front. The white vote re-
manned solidly democratic in order to pro-
tect society from the evils of ignorant ne
gro rule.
1t is understood that Mr.. Mckinley is
anxious to strengthen the white republi-
can party in the south. If that is his pol
icy, it is a much wiser one than the force
bill policy so greatly favored by republican
leaders a few years ago.

"What the Senate committee on foreign
relations has practically said to Mr..
Cleveland in regard to the Cuban situa-
ton" said a prominent western senator
to the Washington Post, reminds me of
what President Lincoln wrote to Gen.
Mcclellan when the latter was in com
mand of the army. Gen. Mcclellan, as is
well known, conducted a waiting cam
paign, being so careful not to make anv
mistakes that he made very little head
way. President Lincoln sent this brief but
exceedingly pertinent letter:
My Dear McClellan-If you don't want
to use the army. ! should like to borrow
1t for while. Yours respectfully. A. Lin
coln.'"

Sentimental Farce in Court.
From the Augusta Chronicle Dem }.

The prisoner is no longer before the
jury and public as a man who has out
ragged the law, and the peace of society,
but as a poor. helpless, very-much-im-
posed-upon man, whose life is being
cruelty sought by a blood-thirsty solic-
itor general and heartless officers of the
law. The state is actually thrown upon
the defensive, and lawyers for the prose-
cution almost apologize for having to per-
form very distasteful duty in prosecut-
ing "the unfortunate prisoner" Before
the case is half through the prisoner be-
comes the especial object of sympathy as
he sits among a group of weeping female
relatives whose business it is to enlist the
sympathies of the jurors IN ever artful
manner possible, and the jury feels
that its highest duty is to rescue "the
unhappy prisoner" from the unfeeling
clutches of the state. This is the senti-
mental farce that is witnessed at the
trial of every white man in Georgia for a
serious offense.
What is needed to cure this maudlin
sentiment is a prompt trial. Let the prs-
oner go to trial bearing the burden Of
whatever public Indignation his crime
may have aroused. The law provides safe
guards for the selection of the jury so as
to secure unbiased men, and Il clothes the
prisoner with the presumption of nno-
cence. He has a fair chance to prove
justification if II existed, and IL ne cannot
do so out OF the mouths of witnesses
when the details Of the transactions are
fresh in their minds, then let him suf-
fer the penalty. A few speedy trials and
just convictions would have a very whole
some effect upon the public mind. and
so far to rebuke the maudlin sentimental
ity which makes such trials by jury a
farce, and prosecution of white men for
murder legal burlesque.

Word comes from Cuba that the insur-

have been determined upon at a council

NV Antediluvian Fly

Walking upon the beach of the North sea,
On Jutland's coast, 'moug shells that
waxlike shone
Dancing within the breakers chanced to be
The gleam of gold nugget, strangely
lone
Among its unlike company. I tried
To doubt my Visions truth; and then cried
Aloud with JOY, whilst leaping to possess
The precious thing. Alas, for my excess
OF faith in outward show! Twas all too
light
In weight for gold. And yet, new delight
Possessed my spirit as held it tween
Me and the midday sun, as clearly seen
Imbedded in the amber's heart fly
A perfect insect-lay, which did defy
Times tooth and the Deluge. A forest
tree,
In its full prime, exuded this-for me.
This gold-hued resin, in a limpid stream
Down the trees trunksdde trickled, and a
CLEAN
OF beauty caught the insects eye. Alas!
A closer look-a taste-and then the mass
Had caught limb; and. struggling to be

THE FRUIT EXCHANGE

The Herald has compiled large
budget of information relative to the
workings of the cooperative system
of marketing the citrus fruit crop of
Southern California. This information
has been collected from the fruit grow
ers themselves-from men who have
their all invested in the business, anc
who have honestly been trying for years
to solve the problem of how the fruit
should be marketed to give them the
best returns for the capital and labor
invested. The information thus collected
is given elsewhere in this issue.
There appears to be no disposition on
the part Of the fruit growers to force up
unduly the cost of the fruit to the con-
sumner. Under their program the fruit
need not cost the consumer any more
than it does at present. All they seem
to want is to inaugurate system
whereby the margin between the price
received by the producer and the price
paid by the consumer shall be reduced
interest that the consumer shall get his
fruit at a small margin above prices re-
ceived by the grower.
This investigation has developed sew
eral facts which will be of interest to the
general public
First-The class Of people engaged in
the cultivation of citrus fruits is taken
largely from men who have been en-
gagged in commercial and other business
pursuits prior to coming to California
There are among them, therefore, a
large number Of good business men who
are as competent in the business office
as they are in the orchard. They are,
therefore, at home in managing the
general plans and the details of large
commercial enterprise such as is re-
quired to market such crop of fruit
Many of these men have large capital
invested in orchards They have accu-
mulated their property on their judg-
ment. and they do not as a rule need a
guardian to assist them in taking care
of It,
Second--When these men invested in
their orange and lemon groves they did

soon found, however. that just as soon
