Republican Paper Makes Up

An amusing Cabinet slate is suggest

minority party in this State. For fear
Governor Wilson might not be a sub
scriber TO that journal. the article,
headed "A Pie Eaters Cabinet" is re-
produced here for his benefit:
To judge from the number OF sug-
gestions made by the Democratic press
OF the State 10 President Elect Wilson
for Cabinet positions. the Democratic
party Of Virginia must expect the in
coming Cabinet TO be composed exclu-
sively OF Virginians. To save the next
President further worry about the mat

ton.

SALVATION
SALVATION.

We affirm that what man is. rather
than what he believes. determines his
happiness here and hereafter. Goodness
Is it, own reward. Sin is its own punish
nent. Heaven is but the natural con-
sequences Of right living; hell the natural
consequences Of wrong doing. Salvation
is an escape-not from the consequences
Of sin thru the merits OF another-but an
escape from sin itself thru the develop
ment Of our higher manhood.

From the History of Hamilton
County BY r. @. and J. w. Lee: Dur
Ing the spring Of 1895 the efforts of
local. politicians were turned largely
toward securing the nomination for
governor for y. L. Kamrar. The peo-
pie Of Hamilton county, who had
known Mr.. Kamrar in his daily life
for nearly thirty years were for him
almost to man and when the coun-
ty convention met in June. 1895, it
unanimously passed the following
resolution:
Whereas, our distinguished fellow
citizen, Hon. John l.. Kamrar, has
announced himself as a candidate for
governor of Iowa, and
Whereas. knowing him to be quail
flied for the high Office to which he
aspires. and recognizing his long and
splendid service as a steadfast and
all-the-year-round republican, the
republicans Of Hamilton county, in
convention assembled. do unani-
mously
Resolve: We endorse the candid
acy Of Hon. John l.. Kamrar with
enthusiasm. and his friends and
neighbors recommend him to the re-
publicanS OF the state at large as a
true man, upright in character, pure
and clean in his private life, strong
and unfaiIing in common sense. and
able and broad In his sentiments on
al public questions. Be it also
Resolved, that it Is the wish of
every member of this convent
that the delegates chosen to the
state convention should exert every
fair and honorable means to secure
his nomination.

suggested in Difference to the ladies
and secured general approval. AS a
result there were no gentlemen
sick" no nausea, no feeling of dis
comfort, no big head" this morn

members of the association at the
convention this morning expressed
their most delightful appreciation
of the feast which was in every
sense enjoyable in the superlativc
degree. The ladies especially were
expressive of their approval OF
pure cold water. 1t was facetiously
remarked that this was somewhat
on the style of Bryan, which may
be accepted in the spirit that leads
to sobriety and good conduct, to
cheerfulness and to joyfulness

The State Bonds.

There has been suggested a plan
through which the bonds of the
State may be tloated advantageous
ly as explained by the Times-Dem-
ocrat of May 7:
"A plan whereby the State may
meet its obligations when the eleven
million dollars of State bonds fall
due next January, and yet not be
forced to float tlfty-year issue OF
bonds at higher rate of interest,
was suggested at conference be-
tween Governor Hall and a special
committee of the New Orleans
Claring House Association Tuesday.
The session lasted from 10 am. un-
til after noon.
None of those present at the con-
ference would discuss the plan, it
being stated that an agreement had
been reached that nothing should
be given out concerning it. 1t was
said, however, that the proposal,
while regarded with favor thus far,
merely is suggestion the Governor
will consider with other plans sub
mitted to him by various interests.
Before anything can be done, how
ever, the law governing the matter
must be closely investigated to de-
termine whether the proposed plan
is feasible.
''As a result of the conference,
however, whether or not the plan
discussed is adopted, it is expected
| that the New Orleans banks will &C
lively cooperate with the Governor
and the State Board of Liquidation
in meeting the States obligations.
Governor Hall expressed salts
faction, after the meeting, with the
spirit shown by the bankers, and
said he believed some progress had
been made"

The States Credit.

The Guardian Journal of Homer
says: IF those who affect to be sc
Jealous about the credit of the
State would use their influence to-
wards persuading the large number
of banks and other business institu-
tions in the State which have Idle
capital under their control to lnves
part of it in the new 4 per cen
bonds, they might perform a service
that would show their good faltf
and prevent the impairment Of the
States credit. The entire issue o.
Si1 100000 could be taken very cas-
lily by our own banks.
1.-The New Orleans banks alone
could take the entire issue, bui
there are no doubt other banks
throughout the State that wOult
subscribe for liberal share of the
new securities, if the matter were
put squarely before them as ques-
ton of State pride. And If tho
credit of the State is as strong ant
unimpaired as it is alleged, it wOult
seem that there would be no dOub
but what these bonds would b.
readily taken by our own banking
institutions.
I'VE fear that there is too mucl
politics mixed up in the question
and it begins to look like there wer'
some who are not so much con
1cerned about the credit of the Stat
as they are about seeing the presen
! administration fall
| There has been and apparentl
there is too much politics mixed III
lin this question. It would seem tha
some politicians, men of some in
lfluence, would rejoice in discredlt
ing Governor Hall politically and t
accomplish such end they wouf
not hesitate to let the State defaul
but these will fail. AS has been we
said, the New Orleans banks alon
could take the entire issue. Wha
better investment is there offered t
tmoney holders who would be saf
with an assured profit?
