The Change in the Cabinet.

The resignation Of Postmaster Cen
eral Gary came AS a great surprise TO
the country and causes general regret
on all sides. AS a member of Presi-
dent McI<inley's official family Mr.
Gary has shown himself an efficient
head of great department, and has
won deserved popularity with his as
socates. There was no foundation for
the absurd rumors that his resignation
was due 10 differences of opinion in re-
gard to the administration Cuban
policy. 1t is we'll known that he has
been in fun harmony with the Presi-
dent on this as on all other matters,
and his resignation, which has been
contemplated for some time, was due
solely to failing health
In the new member of the cabinet
Mr.. Gary has an able successor, and
the department and the country are to
be congratulated upon the President
wise choice. Charles Emory Smith Of
Philadelphia is well known from his
public services and from his high posi-
ton in the ranks of American jour
nalists. He is son of New England.
a cultured gentleman. a leader in the
councils of his party, and one of the
great newspaper men Of the country.
AS editor of the Philadelphia Press for
almost a score of years he has become
known throughout the Union for his
vigorous and incisive style of writing.
his comprehensive grasp Of great
issues, his sound Judgment, and his
unwavering Republicanism. His APP
poirtment and Immediate confirmation
are warmly commended in Washington
and by the press of the country.

The telegraph operators and train dis
patchers in the employ of the Grand

Montreal to interview the management
to secure, II possible. some changes in the
present regulations governing their work.
They have at the present time no agree

In this land we fight for our country
and our principles, not for a person,
and this is what makes the pitiful APP
peal of the Spanish Queen to her sub
jects sound strange to us. She hegs
them to defend her sons throne and
save his colonies. Against the boy
kings mother there is not word to be
said, and only pity is felt for her. But
his father was the son of the notorious
ly immoral Isabella, and he meyer felt
sure who his father was, although the
subject was source of gossip and
scandal in all the courts of Europe. To
talk of the divine right" to throne of
a boy, SO descended, is to combine
anachronism with moral perversity.
To be in fashion the boy king must
lose some of his colonies 1t is a way
his predecessors have had and a fate
they have deserved.

The death of United States Senator
Edgar Cary Walthall of Mississippi
had been expected for some time. but
its announcement caused profound
sorrow among his associates. Mr.
Walthall was 81 years of age and was
a typical Southern gentleman of the
old school. He served as an officer
through the whole war rising to the
rank of general. When the late AR
Senate to enter Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet
as secretary of the Interior Mr..
and was elected several times by the
Legislature, his present term expiring
in 1901 Senator Walthall was typi-
cal southern gentleman of the class
that has come down to us from the
period of chivalry and song before the
war" He took little part in legisla-
ton, and his voice was seldom. if ever
heard in debate. but the Mississippians
were 50 enamored of him that, al
though he positively refused to stand
for reelection at the end of single
term, they returned him by a unani-
nous vote in spite of himself so that
he presented the strange spectacle of a
senator who never lifted a finger to Sc
cure his seat, and who was retained in
it against his will. He stood at the
head Of the bar of Mississippi
