IN MEMORIUM.

Died, of pneumonia, Feb. II, 1897, in Little Rock, Ark, Bessie E. Daniels, aged 10 years and months. The dear little hands that were always so busy OH earth were so suddenly called to rest in q better land above. The dear little eyes that have closed to the sufferings of earth, have opened in a brighter and more beautiful world beyond. This precious child was beloved by all who knew her, and none knew her and loved her better than the writer wEose cherished pupil she was for three years. Her gnileless winning ways and affectionate disposition, and her deferential manner to her seniors, ever thoughtful for the com fort of others, made her favorite with every one. Truly itcan be said of her, none knew her, but to love her, none named her but to praise" Why should we mourn for one SO pure and fair? Death comes to such as a friend to open the gate that leads to our Fathers home, where the many mansions be, and God hath sent q shining retinue to bear hear from parental to angelic arms, where she will be forever safe.
 What mortal can have any idea of the beauty of the scenes in which she now eommingies? She has heard the song the angels sing. A home in heaven, q harp, a robe, a crown has been given her, and she has joined the angel choir.
 l would calm the troubled hearts of grief-stficken father and brother, and other sOrrowing relatives, with the blessed assurance that God Is freely offering heavens treasurers to us aii, and we nay, if we are faithful, see her and other dear ones again. For life IS as trnsient as q bubble on the wave; one by one we willl all soon come to the riyer-side-God help ns to so spend the time that re- H4ains to HIS that,
 We shall meet our loved and own,
 Some sweetday, some sweet day.
 Gathering round the great white throne,
 some sweet day, some sweet day.
 By the tree of life so fair,
 Joy and rupture everywhere,
 Oh. the bliss of over there,
 Some sweet day, some sweet day"

Gives 1t Up.

Grand Master Workman Sow
ereign of the Knights of Labor
seems to be less hopeful than Bryan,
Altgeld, and Jones, and expresses
his conviction that the vage-earners
can never succeed IN Their unequal
contest with capital without resort
ing to more vigorous means than the
peaceful arbitrament of the ballot.
He boldly announces the existence
of two secret organizations among
workingmen whose distinctive pur-
pose it is to incite instruction and
revolution against the lawful con-
stituted authority of the United
States government, and that when
the time comes for decisive action
he will be found with them. 1t is
fortunate for Sovereign that he en-
joys the privilege of living in a
country in which the widest latitude
of free speech and a free press is
permitted. Were his reasonable
harangues given out in any other
country than this he would be

The Cabinet.

President Mckinley has completed
his cabinet, and the slate gives
general satisfaction. Those COM
posing the cabinet follow:
Secretary of State-John Sherman
of Ohio.
Secretary of the Treasury-Lyman
j. Gage OF Illinois.
Secretary of War-Russell A. Alger
Of Michigan.
Secretary of the Navy-John d.
Long of Massachusetts.
Attorney General--Joseph McKenna
of California.
Secretary Of the Interior-Corneliu
Bliss Of New York.
Postmaster General-James A.
Gary of Maryland.
Secretary Of Agriculture-James
Wilson of Iowa.
The names given in the foregoing
list are guarantee that the depart
ments will be ably conducted. Senator
Shermans fame is so firmly establish
ed that his name needs but to be
mentioned. He is recognized not as
mere politician, but as statesman
of pronounced ability, and OF unques-
toned integrity, and as having deep
and comprehensive knowledge of
public affairs. He has been as closely
Unidentified with American history for
the last thirty-five years as any man
living, and has had as much to do
with shaping the policy that has
given the nation greatness and
prosperity.
The appointment of Lyman j. Gage
as secretary of the treasury gave
general satisfaction. He is man OF
broad views and cannot be said to be
an intense partisan. He is more like
ly to take into consideration the needs
of the whole country. He has an
extensive reputation as a financier
and for safe and conservative methods.
In his hands the affairs Of this very
important department will be wisely
and prudently administered.
The appointment of that brave
soldierand'able man, Russell A. Alger,
was especially pleasing TO the old
soldiers. He is called Michigan's
most able citizen. He is true man
and a noble representative of that
great body Of soldiery, who fought the
battles of the Union. 1t is believed
that in General Alger the soldiers will
find one who Will protect their inter
ests and who at the same time will
guard the government from imposi-
tion.
Governor Long brings to the cabinet
that sturdy vigor and conscientious
ness for which New England is noted.
He rendered his own state conspicuous
public service, and will in his new
Office serve tie country with no less
distinction.
Judge McKenna will represent the
western coast. Major Mckinley and
he were in congress together and the
president Is well acc tainted With hii
