More Cabinet Changes Expected

stead of Minister to Russia. But there
would probaDly be a difference of op-
inion as to the relative rank of a
Cabinet officer and an Ambassador.
The latter receives a much larger
salary, and the dignity of his Office
would appear to be greater.
There has been a great difference
also In the extent to which various
Presidents have curtailed the powers
OF their advisers. Mr.. Mckinley was
said to have left the matters of the
various departments almost exclusive
ly in control of their respective heads,
In Cleveland's 8. first administration he
was said to have treated his Cabinet
generally as clerks, giving them direc-
tons about nearly all important mat
ters, and leaving them very little to
manage exclusively in their own way.
! Inc manner in which President
Roosevelt has decided several contest
ed appointments indicates that he will
take personal hand in the settlement
OF important matters. and that mat.
ters will not be left so much to the
decision Of his Cabinet as was the
case with President Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 10.--The
retirement of Secretary Gage from the
Treasury and of Charles Emory Smith
from the Postoffice Department, with
the prospective resignation of Secre-
tary Long in the near future, leads the
politicians at the Capital to look for
a complete reorganization OF President
Roosevelts Cabinet at no distant day.
There Is little surprise at this pros
pect. 1t was very generally expected
that within few months from Presl-
dent Roosevelts s accession there would
be many changes among his official
advisers 1t is not customary for a
Vice President, succeeding to the
Presidency. to retain ...s predecessor 8
Cabinet for long time. Nor Is 1t the
rule for Cabinet officers TO serve the
full four years for which they are ap-
pointed. In the Postofflce and interior
Departments the term has been very
short, as a rule, in recent years. For
instance, since 1880 there have been
thirteen Postmasters General, includ-
ing H. c. Payne, who will soon enter
upon that once. This makes the aver
age service of each about year and
half. Since 1882 there have been
eight Secretaries of State. The rule ap-
pears to be that Cabinet officer serves
but about two years or less, when,
from one reason or another. he Is
succeeded.
There is nothing surprising, lnere-
fore. that President McKinleys ad-
visers are to give way to new coun-
Gil chosen by Mr.. Roosevelt
II probably will surprise many peo-
people 10 know that the term "Cabi-
net" as originany used. was not a
complimentary designation. The word

OH men are congratulating them
selves upon the effective work done
by the railroad commission of Texas
which has so reduced the freight rate
upon the fuel oil that 1t may be haul
ed to any part of me State and used
at an immense saving over the price
of coal. 1t is approximately 1000 miles
| from FL Paso to Beaumont. yet oil
from the gushers is being hauled to
the city at a cost OF only 81 cents to
the consumer. The railroad commits
sion is responsible for the rate given
and the rate established TO those points
beyond the limits of the State attest
this fact. For instance the rate from
! FL Paso to Las Cruces; only so miles
distant is about $3.50 per hundred
while from Beaumont to Ell Paso
across the immense State of Texas the
rate Is only one third of that amount.
