TIE CABINET.
McLinley's Advisers for Four Yea,

McLinley's Advisers for Four Years.
The President sent the following
nominations to the Senate:
Secretary of State-John Sher-
man, of Ohio.
Secretary of the Treasury-Lyman
j. Gage, of Illionis.
Secretary of War-Russell A. AL
ger, of Michigan.
Attorney General-Joseph Nc
Kenna, of California.
Postmaster General James A.
Gary, of Maryland.
Secretary Of the Navy-John d.
Long, of Massachusetts.
Secretary of the Interior-Co Cornell
ius N Bliss, of New York.
Secretary of Agriculture-James
Wilson, of Iowa.
The nominations were all confirm.
cd without debate or protest. AS a
compliment to a Senator, Sherman
was confirmed in open session with
out reference. The nomination OF
Gage caused considerable discus
sion, the silver men of the Senate
taking the occasion to point out the
position of Mr. Gage on the financial
question. Silver Senators who d 4: i
the talking said they did not intend
to interpose any objection to the
confirmation, but they wanted to
make it plain that while there were
pledges made by the new admins
tration for bimetallism, the new Sec
tary, they said, was gold man.
The proceedings in the senate
were of small Importance. Flowers
were in abundance, and Mark Hanna
was sworn in as Secretary Sher-
mans successor. The usual formal.
tiles of notifying the president were
gone through with, and the doors
were closed to consider the cabinet
nominations.

The New Administration,

Although the government receipts
do not equal its expenditures, be-
cause of the lavish appropriations
by congress, still President McKin-
ley commences his administration
with national finances in comfort
able condition. On the first day of
March the balance in the treasury
was 1912, 1897, 255, including the
800, 100000 gold reserve Deduct
ing, there is in the treasury for the
general purposes of government the
handy sum of $112,S37,25 The rev.
nues are now at the rate of $780,
100000 year. Four years ago,
when Mr.. Cleveland took charge,
but for the trick of bookkeeping de-
vised to blind the eyes of the people
there would have been practically
no cash balance at ALL
1t is true the existing cash bal
ance over and above the reserve is
largely the result of bond issues, but
the money is in the treasury. 1t be-
longs to the government and the peo-
pie of the United States. 1t can only
be used in increasing business, to
carry on the government and cover
all probable deficiencies for the next
two years.
The O y positive indication given
out of the policy of the new admin
istration is that an extra session oil
congress will be called, to meet on
the 18th of March, to pass new
tariff law, with the intent of bring
ing up the revenues to the point of
government expenditures. The de
ficiency for the year will be about
$50,000,000. This is not objectiona-
BILE, for the revenues should keep
pace with expenditures. The smaller
either the deficiency or the surplus
the better. The former leads to bond
issues, and the latter to extrava-
gance. But it is folly to talk of there
being any imperative and pressing
need of increased revenues to carry
on the government. 1t has bal
ance to its credit to draw on of over
$112,000,000. There is in reality nc
need of an extra session, and we be-
lieve the new president will find out
he has Numbered in calling it. The
probabilities are that the new tariff
law will lead to excited and pro.
tracted debate that will disturb bus.
mess and stay any promised revival
Whether tariff is to go up or down
lin the free trade or protection in.
terest-it makes conditions of un-
rest and uncertainty. The Republi.
cans have learned some lessons, how
ever, in tariff making, and the new
tariff bill, while it will be objection
able in many respects, will show that
the Republican party has abandon
ed McKinleyism as exemplified by
the tariff act of 1890.

The only member of the cabinet
who brings to President McKinley's
service the record Of long experience
in official life is John Sherman, who
has been prominent for over 40 years.
The seven other secretaries have
not had that advantage, and are gen
orally regarded as Of mediocre ca
pacity. Two of them, Messrs. Alger
and Long, have been governors of
their states, and four have had a
limited experience in congress, none
achieving a front rank. Three of
the eight have never held federal
offices. The Secretary Of the treas
ury, Mr.. Gage, is without any ex-
perience in governmental affairs, and
has been all his active life a Chicago
banker. But Notwithstanding this
they may show fitness for their
offices and develop respectable quail
tiles as wise administrators. By
this the wisdom of their selections
will be gaugei. The cabinet is
largely a selection of compromises
between opposing factions. Men Of
recognized merit have been excluded
because of this, but it is one Of the
alleged necessities of our politics
and bias happened before.
In the composition of the cabinet
a popularity is noticeable that we
believe is without a precedent in the
history of the government, except
during the civil war. There is no
representative in it of the great
states south of the Ohio and Poto-
mac rivers. The only member cred
| tied to the south is Mr.. Gary, OF
Maryland, who can hardly be called
southern man. This discrimina-
ton is not due to sectional feeling.
but to the requirements of factional
politics, and the compromises in Sc
lection made necessary thereby

A SPECIAL ELECTION.
Will Be Held on March
Twenty-third.
Will Mean Better Schools and
be Better in Every Re-
spect for All Interested.

We give in another column a
proclamation setting March 23rd as
the date for special election which
means much to the district inter
ested. A few of the more impor-
tant features of the bill providing
for this election is. also given.
The sole and only question to be
passed upon at this election is,
'sshall the present Morgantown In
dependent district be extended as
proposed" Every voter in Morgan
district is eligible to vote. The
matter is submitted to all such
voters without regard to whether
they are inside the old or new dis
trict, or outside of both, SO the SEN
timent of the entire district will be
taken.
There are 900 voters in Morgan
district, 900 of these live in the pro-
posed independent district. 1t takes
majority of all the voters in the
district to carry the election. This
means that a solid vote in the new
district will carry the election.
That this vote will be solid is alb
solutely certain. 1t is so manifest
lly to the great advantage Of all con-
cerned that their undivided hearty
support is assured.
This is true for two reasons
Those who already enjoy the privil-
eyes of the present sytem of schools
know enough of it's advantages to
make them wish to have these ex-
tended to the greatest possible de-
gree. Second; Those who are at
present outside but who will be
taken in know enough of the advan-
tages to be gained to be heart and
soul for the project With these two
elements both favoring it is only a
question of majorities.
Morgantown leads the state in
many respects. The proposed sys-
tenn of schools has been examined
by experts and pronounced to be
the best in the state, so for a matter
of local pride we should favor it.
Sunnyside and Beechhurst now
have to send their children away out
in the country or pay tuition to send
to town. If they come in, they will
get modern building for their chill
dren right in their midst. They
will get better schools, longer terms,
more accessible schools and for less
money. Then they ought to be sat
isfied. The same condition of affairs
applies to South Morgantown.
A central high school will be built
in town at which the children in
the territory Immediately contig
uous will be instructed together
with the older children who have
finished the courses in the sub
schools. Every part Of town ther
will be helped.
The burning Of the old building
practically gives everyone interested
the same start. Everything will bt
begun at once and carried out al
the same time.
Keep these facts in mind together
with others which will Immediately
suggest themselves to you and b.
ready to pass on the simple solitary
proposition next Tuesday one week

trict of Morgantown be extended.

Among the wonders Of Galveston
are the Jetties, built by the govern
ment at cost of Sc, 500, 900 to give
the city deep water and allow the
largest vessels afoat to steam up to
her docks. Thus from a shallow
channel of only ten feet the harbor
has been given 26 feet of water on the
bar. A feet of large vessels may be
seen now at all times loading the rich
products Of the south for foreign mar
kets and unloading merchandise from
nearly every country in the world.
To view the Jetties magnificent
steam ship that plies between Gal
weston and New York was placed at
the service of the visitors and sail
of three hours was made thrugh Gal

THE NAUGURATIONS.
The One at Washington Very
Quiet.
The One at Charleston a Fizzle.

The One at Charleston Fizzle.
Thursday was great day for the
nation and West Virginia. The
national government was passing
from the control of one party to
another and at the same time tor
the first time in quarter of a CEN
fury the state was performing the
same operation. The crowds in
Washington were neither so large,
enthusiastic nor as prosperous as
formerly. The pinch of hard times
was felt with its blighting influence
like the skeleton at a feast. The
show and peagentry was more gor-
geous than even before but the
spontaneous heartfelt enthusiasm
was not there. Very few cheers
were heard and when the president
elect appeared on the platform in
front OF the capitol to take the oath
Of office and make his inaugural adj
dress, the cheers were few in mum.
Der, weak in volume and generally
of listless and lifeless character.
1t was for no lack of crowd to cheer
that there was no cheering for 100,-
600 people stood upon the grand
capitol plaza.
The crowd was composed chiefly
of curiosity -ceekers. Scarcely had
Mckinley appeared when it began
to melt away and the scene was one
of indescribable tumult and dis
order. The police were powerless.
Pickpoekets galore abounded and
many man against his will had a
practical illustration of Republican
principles in action.
The parade was a snowy affair
but not so many civil societies par
ticipated as formerly. The military
were greatly in evidence. Every
where was seen and felt the iron
grasp OF the oppressor. They made
merry while thousands in the Capt.
tai city were starving.
The transfer of government took
place without jar and the whole
machinery went on as thought nc
change had occurred. Thursday
marked the Tooth university of the
retirement of George Washington to
private life and the inevitable com
parison would be decidedly odious
to the puppet now in the White
House.
The affair at Charleston was a
fizzle A very small crowd attend
ed and the grand parade consisted
of two miserable brass bands and a
disguised club from Wheeling. 1t
marched around Capitol square
twice and then disbanded. We
give several extracts from Gov. At
kinson's inaugural in another col
umn. 1t dwarfs the attempts of the
Washington man and has added
greatly to his renown. If he car
ries out his resolutions he will be
much better than his past would
seem to justify.
Taking both affairs on whole
the effect was not what was natur-
ally expected from the sweeping vic
tory which had made them possible
The inevitable and terrible reaction
has already begun.
