The news that Mr.. McCook and Mr..
Gary had been invited to seats in the
cabinet and had accepted was received,
Washington correspondent says, by Sem
ators and members of Congress with
many expressions of satisfaction.
James A. Gary is the recognized leader
of the Republican party in Maryland. He
is business man of wealth, manufac
turer, and he has never hesitated to give
effort and money to the cause of party. He
has been delegate to every national con-
vention of his party since 1872, and from
1880 to 1896 has represented Maryland
upon the Republican national committee.
In the councils of his party he speaks
with authority and his utterances are
heard with respect. In 1856 Mr.. Gary
was married to Miss Lavina w. Corrie,

Political Comment.

There is still an occasional bank fail
ure-just enough to remind the coun-
try that it is not yet out of the Demo-
cratic woods.
The people of France are not only CIV
ing Senator Wolcott good dinners, but
they are talking international bimetal-
lism with him.
Populist Senators have demonstrated
by their vote that they are only in ia
yor of the impossible kind of free silver
coinage They reject the International
brand.
The plan of treating cabinet officers
as mere clerks of the President came in
and will go out with the Cleveland ad-
minis'tra ton. Mr.. Mckinley has signi-
fed his purpose of regarding members
Of the cabinet as his official counselors.
Mr.. Squire, of Washington, has join
ed Mr. Dubois, Of Idaho, upon the free
silver scrap pile. Up to date Brother
Teller, of Colorado, is the only member
Of the silver Republican conspiracy who
has saved anything out of the wreck.

realize that the Democratic law has
brought paralysis to commerce and in
dustry, and reduced great part Of the
people to idleness and consequent pow
erty, and everybody knows there can
be no real prosperity until protective
law shall be substituted.
There is every sign that the men who
are engaged In preparing the new tariff
are fully impressed with their great re-
sponsibility, and are going about their
task in the right spirit, with determin-
ed purpose to produce law that will
stand for years to come and carry it's
benefits to all sections and all interests
of the natiOn.
Senators Stewart and Pettigrew are
the leaders in the free silver dog-in-the-
manager tactics against the measure to
promote an international monetary con-
ference, but the animus Of their opposi-
ton is too evident to give their objec-
tions much weight. Once the currency
question is settled, these men will lose
all their political capital.
