SEE Cenfirmed by Cleveland. Lakewood, N. J., Feb. 14.—Mr. ‘Cleveland officially announced the names of four of his cabinet through the associated press this evening. They are, Walter Q. Gresham of Illinois, secretary of state; John G. Carlisle of Kentucky, secretary of finance; Daniel S. Lamont of New York, secretary of war; Wilson S. Bissell of Buffalo, postmaster gen- eral. ja republican up to the last election | when he voted for Grover Cleveland. It is claimed by his friends that his views onthe tariff, the one great essential difference in the platforms of the two great parties, has under- goue a change, and that he is a consistent tariff reformer. Judge Gresham is not only ao | broad-minded statesman,but an able, fearless, honest man. He probably has the confidence of the great masses of the American people toa greater extent than any living man except Grover Cleveland and our re- lations with foreign aations will be carefully managed and our interests jealously guard+d by him. Judge Gresham is the leader of that class of voters whose votes were absolutely essential to accomplish the landslide of 1892, aud while the mugwump is spoken of i: derision by the strong partisans of both par- ties, still it must be conceded that the independent voters of the coun- try hold the balance of power be- tween political parties, aud rebukes or rewards each as it merits. The ouly possible serious objection of making Judge Gresham secretary of state, is that it puts him in line of succession to the presidency, for in case of the death of both the presi- dent aud vice president the secreta- ry of state is promoted to the White House. While such a great calami- ty to the American people, it is de- voutiy hoped, will not occur, yet it is always well to consider the possi- bilities in this life. CABINET POSITIONS FILLED. The New York “Times” Names Four Which It Says Are Certain. New York, Feb. 12.—The Times which enjoys the distinction of be ing called Mr. Cleveland’s personal organ, to-day published the follow- ing names of cabinet officers already selected by the president elect: Secretary of state, Walter Q. Greshaw, of Indiana. Secretary of the treasury, Jobn G. Carlisle, of Kentucky. Secretary of war, Daniel S. La- mont of New York. Postmaster general, Bissil of New York. The Times adds that Mr. Bissel’s letter of acceptunce, if not already sent, will be mailed to Mr. Cleveland at Lakewood without delay. Wilson S. TO SUCCEED CARLISLE. dadge Lindsay Practically Elect- ed to the Vacant Seat. Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 14—The two houses of the legislature ballot for United States Senator today. In the senate Judge William Lindsay received 16 votes and A. E Wilson, republican, 6. Inthe house Judge Lindsay received 82 votes and Wil- son, 13. There will be a joint bal- lot tomorrow and Judge Linsday will be formally elected as Mr. Car- lisle’s successor. Judge William Lindsay was born in Rockidge, Monroe county, Ken tucky , September 1835. He began the practice of law in 1858 at Clinton and later when the war broke out he entered the confederate army and served as a captain and staff officer. He was chief justice only after the cebellion and has lived in Hickman rounty ever since. In 1870 he was made judge on the appelate bench of his own state. His decisions while on the bench rank as high as those of any jurist in the south. Leaving the bench in 1878 he devot- ed his entire attention to his law prac- tice which was most successful. In 1890 Judge Lindsay was: ap- pointed commissioner at large from Kentucky in the national committee in which body as well as the board of reference and control, he is one of the most influential and active workers. At the time of his ap- pointment to the world’s fair com- missionship he was a member of the Kentucky legi \ Judge Lindsay is a man of com- manding height portly and impos- ing presence, clean shaven face, and in the very meridian of life. He is an eloquent speaker and popular among his friends. An act making the smoking of cigarettes a misdemeaner was pass- ed yesterday by a vote of the Minne- sota house. This may be regarded by some persons as a blow to person- al liberty, but it seems to be justifi- able upon the ground that great evils demand heroic remedies. If there is any apology at all for sumptuary pos tg it is furnished by the cigarette.—Kansas City Star. } Net Our Way. We notice that an Ohio editor has declined the nomination of rep- resentative to fill a vacancy in the state legis ature. Notonly that but he gave it as his opinion that no ed- itor should accepi a political office or any sort of favor from a jrailroad or other corporation. By looking atamap of the United States we perceive the north by Michigan and Lake} Erie, on the east by Pennsyivauia, on the south by West Virginia and Kentucky, aud on the west by Indi-} aua, but how such an editor as that is bounded we shall not attempt to figure. By working a potato pateh on shares during his days and Sun- days, and by making his wife go barefoot through the winter and cut ber own corns in the summer, he maay manage to keep bis head above water in Ohio, but he must not let the western feyer get hold of him. He couldn't exist for two weeks out here, even when roots are iu season and at their cheapest. Years ago when our eyebrows were silken and our feet tender, we had a hal’ form- ed idea that it was the duty of au editoz to boost everybody else is public view aud remain in the back ground himself. We even decided that a railroad pass, good from San Francisco to New York, might bias his opinion of roadbeds, locomotives aud side tracks We even began our editorial career by refusing to pay a probate judge a bribe of $50 to get $600 worth of fat advertising. It is needless to remark that we no longer reseuible the jackrabbit in appear ance, »or do we do business on the Ohio principle. We take everything in the shape of a pass offered us We miss no occasion to make a pub- lic sprech We ache for office and get it—three or four of them. If there is any head to the table at a banquet we ure there. We boost ourselves first and the public after ward. If we were offered the place of minister to England to morrow we'd take it quicker’n scat. In our opinion there’s nothing too good for an editor, aud we frankly admit that when we hear of a caselike that in Ohio we feel like writing to the onery galoot and asking what ex cuse he has for being outside of an idiot asylum.—Arizona Kicker in Republic. HOKE SMITH ON GRESHAM. Atlanta, Ga. Feb. 12.—Hoke Swmith of this city, who, it is rumored has been asked by Mr. Clevelasd to enter his cabinet, has this to say through the editorial columns of his p2per the Journal’ today: Mr. Cleveland has tendered to Judge Walter Q. Gresham of Indi- ana the office of Secretary of State and Judge Gresham has accepted it. To the country this appointment is a surprise and comments on it are various. We are confident however that when the reasons which induced Mr. Cleveland to make this choice are fully understood they will be re spected by democrats generally and his action will b- appoved. It must be remembered that the democratic party has ip the last four years made its greatest gains in the West. Judge Gresham is not only a typical Western man, but he is a représenta tive of the men in that section who have abandoned the Repnblican party on principle and came over to Democracy. Can be counted on to cure Catarrh— Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. It’s nothing new. For 25 years it has been doing that very thing. It gives prompt and com- plete relief—but you want more than that.

Ca- tarrhal Headache, and all the troubles that come from Catarrh, are at once relieved and cured. You can count on something else, too— $500 in cash.
