THE CABINET SHUTTLE.

Tue appointment OF Attorney-Gencral
Knox to represent the Pennsylvania
Railroad in the Senate aud that 81 Sec
Rotary Cortelyou to be Chairman OF the
National Committe have made 81 va
cancies in the cabinet, in filling which
the President has shifted Secretary
Moody, and So has given new heads to
three departments.
Mr.. Paul Morton, the new Secretary
OF the Navy, is said to have peer IA Re-
publican for Fix weeks. But he is
vice president Of the Santc Fc Railroad
and is therefore fully qualified for any
Office in the opinion 81 tho forces that
now control the Republican party. Be-
ing II mall OF alert mind, it is cOntiden-
italy believed that before he leaves the
new position he will be able to learn
something about ships.
Mr.. Moody hardly sizes up with Mr..
Knox in legal ability. lie was formerly
II district attorney in Massachusetts, and
has served four terms in Congress. lie,
has the refore, had no opportunity to
build mp that corporation law practice
winch so often has n ~clogging effect on
tho wheels OF the department OF justice.
Mr.. Metcalf will probably be Il con.
genial addition to lioosevclt's official
family, but it il n pity some other berth
could not have been found for h,m than
that Of Secretary OF Commerce and La
Dor. As the Republican organization
OF California is absolutely owned by the
Southern Pacific railroad, which takes
care that no man not satisfactory to itself
gets Republican nominations for Con.
grcss, tho fact that Mr.. Mctcalf has been
a Republican Congressman from Cali
fornia for three terms il pretty conclus-
i've evidence that no il not the best per-
con to manage a department tina: is sup
posed to regulate corporatiohs.-WOrld

DON'T GET EXCITED.

II is hardly worth while for our peO-
pie To get excited over Judge Parkcr'a
statement that he regards the gold
standard az an established Tact. Every.
body who has Il nickcls worth of brains
in his head knows that it il an cstab.
iishcd tact, and must remain go until
monetary conditions change.
Jukge Parker's statement does not
vary the issues of the campaign one iota.
Tho Democratic platform ia silent on
the money question, which leaves the is.
sue open for future consideration, Tho
telegram to Parker states, in effect, that
rs the question Of the standard is not u
possible issue In the campaign. it can
make no difference so far rs his candi.
