The case of the United States will then be fully stkted. Mr. Wolcott will not under- take to state it now. It may be that England, in the end, will again hold out against free silver, aad it may be that again her influence will be sufficient to dominate an international conference. But it is the duty and the purpose of the United States to again put her on record. Mr. Bryan, when ques- tioned the other day respecting his race for the presidency said pleasantly, “that it was better to have run and lost than never to have run at all.” The republican party must take a similar view of the ef- fort to reopen the mints to silver through international agreement. With promises out to all the people, it will be better to try and fail, than not to try at all. Suc- cess has at no time been guaranteed. Very great difficuities have been frankly confessed. But a trial is an obligation so explicit and binding that the party is in ronor bound to redeem it. —__ --+-2 = -_____ The State Department. In the speculation about the McKinley cabinet the names of Gen. Harrison and Senators Sherman and Allison have been mentioned in connection with the State Department. Any one of the three, it has been held, would make a capital min- ister of state. All three are men of large note in public affairs. But the present rumor is that no one of them is available for the place. Gen. Harrison passes out of the calcula- tion on the score of precedent. It is urged that an ex-President may not sit at the cabinet table of a successor in the presi- dential office. Where he has been chief he can afterward fill no subordinate place. In the case of Mr. Sherman it is said that at his time of life he does not care to také up the burdens of a great department of the government. He now has his sena- torial duties so systematized that they are easy to him, and on that account he prefers to remain in the senate. Mr. Allison, though @ younger man than Mr. Sherman, prefers to remain in the senate for something of the same reason. It is easy to believe that this situation is embarrassing to Mr. McKinley, as rumor has it. Not that the republican party is poor in men of large capacity, for it is not. But the State Department under the next administration will call for an executive of wide experience and a thorough knowl- edge of affairs. Mr. Cleveland is going to turn over to his successor some very im- portant work in an unfinished state in that department. The Venezuelan and Hawalian matters will require delicate treatment, and what shape the Cuban matter may be in on the 4th of March nobody may with safety predict. But as things are now tending; with the sympathies of the people undoubtedly with Cuba, and Mr. Cleveland apparently determined to continue to as- sist Spain; the probabilities are that the new administration will have something of transcer.dent interest to say to Spain very soon after taking up the reins of gov- ernment. This, of course, if necessary, will have to be well said, and only a man of large experience could hope t6 satisfy the country on that score. —_—— + + ____ More energy must be displayed in the censtruction of the city post office’ building if, as Postmaster General Wilson is re- perted to have said, it is to be finished by the first of next July. There were only thirty-flVe men at work today, too small a fore» for the accomplishment of this most desirable result. eS The messages of some of the New Eng- land states governors are so hopeful in tone that they may influence the discon- tented youth in Kansas to come east and grow up with the country. —_—__ += __.

At the card table he was greatly annoyed by a lady who insisted on paying mcre attention to conversation thin she did to the game. “I see no reason,” she was saying, “why a woman should not assume just as much in portance in all affairs as men do.” “I see none, myself,” replied the irascible man, with unusual gentleness, “provided she is intellectually qualified to do so.” “And what would you suggest as the test of her mental fitness?” “As good a test as any would be her atility to remember what are trumps.” ‘The Man and the Office.
