Mr. Hayes, in a recent speech be¬
fore the Press Association of Haiti"
more, truly said: “The best news¬
paper carries with it nothing but
wisdom and truth. The standard
author speaks only to the few, the
newspaper to the millions. The rub¬
bish w-ill go, the golden truth wi 1
remain eternal and imperishable.
All honor, then, to the men who
give the world a good newspaper.”
The Inaugural Address.
The inaugural address of Presi¬
dent Garfield is a document of much
force and vigor, more conservative
than we anticipated, and is in fact
■one of the ablest documents of the
Jcind that has ever been presented to
■our people. It is the production of
;scholarly intellect, and evinces a
miiul capable of grasping at a mo
meat the most intricate subject
And if the President’s administra¬
tion'! of affairs is as liberal as the
tone of his address, he will be the
President of the people,and not «• a
party. As a whole, the address is
calculated to inspire much confi¬
dence, but whether or not the ad¬
ministration will be a success, re¬
mains yet to be seen. Let Mr. Gar¬
field be President, not of a mere par¬
ty, but of the whole Union, and his
administration will prove a blessing
to the entire country.
----«.
THE NEW CABINET.
Mr. Windoin, who succeeds Mr.
John Sherman in the treasury office,
lives in Winona, a town on the Mis
sisippi river in Minnesota, lie was,
however, born in Ohio, in Belmont
county, on the 10th of May, 1827.
After receiving an academic educa¬
tion, he studied law in Ohio, and
practised his profession first in Ohio
and then in Minnesota down to 1859,
when he was first elected to con¬
gress. He served ten years in the
lower housfc, and if he had remained
Jn the senate until next July he
would have completed eleven years
jo the upper house. His present
senatorial term extends to 1883. He
^therefore has the advantage of twen¬
ty years of service in congress ;but in
$11 that time be was never known as a
atudeut of financial subjects—on the
.contrary, quite the reverse. He even
professed ignorance of the silver
question,, llis specialties in the
Beoato related to inland transporta¬
tion and the rights of the colored
people. Ife was never, if we mis¬
take not, a member of the finance
.committee of the senate. I Ie is how¬
ever a good liater of monopolies, es¬
pecially is in of excellent the railroad variety, and
health. As be¬
tween Blaine atul Cookhng, it is dif¬
ficult to place him. His is a Blaine
atate, but at the Chicago convention
Mr. Mlndoiu was himself a dark
and he was
ered* very available one.
Mr. Blaine, the premier, is so well
known that we need only recall the
leading facts of bis busy life. He
was born inWashington county Penn¬
sylvania,in 1830,aud as soon as lie left
$ Pennsylvania college he became an
editor and went to Maine, He was
.elected to the legislature in 1859,
and to congress in 1804, and has serv¬
ed ever since that time in one house
fir flic other of the federal body.
IIU senatorial term runs to 1883.
Mr. Blaine is a man qf great wealth,
pi social qualities, and he will no
jdoubt be a yery popular premier.
He has never given much of his tiino
fo foreign questions but be will
have no difficulty in mastering the
few that will come before him. He
is in the cabinet for other reasons,
and he will be apt to make the most
of his new office.
Of TFayne McVeagh, the new at¬
torney general, not much can he said,
because his active life has been spent
as a lawyer and private citizen. lit¬
is a son-in-law of Simon Cameron,
but he has never been on good po¬
litical terms with the Camerons. lit¬
is inclined to be a reformer, and to
despise bossism. lie is a good and
successful lawyer, a fine speaker, and
his reputation would he untarnished
had he not gone to Louisiana as a
“visiting statesman” to steal the vote
of that state for Mr. Hayes. He
went with General Harlan and Judge
Lawrence, and the part he took in
the great fraud has never been ac¬
curately defined. Outside of the
Louisiana business lie has the rep¬
utation of an honest and eminently
respectable man—a man rather
starchy and over-nice, about whom
there is pothing at all phenomenal.
Mr. James, postmaster general,
began life as the editor of a country
newspaper. He drifted to New
York city and into politics,and eight
years ago month he was appoint¬
ed postmaster of the metropolis. All
of his reputation has been gained in
that office. He is at heart a civil
service reformer, and he has greatly
developed and reformed the busi¬
ness of the* New York office. IIt
will make a practical, efficient and
valuable head of our postal affairs,
and his appointment is a credit to ilu*
president.
Mr. Kirkwood, who steps from the
senate chamber to the department
of the interior, was born in Mary¬
land, and after receiving a limited
education in Washington, removed
to Ohio, where he read and practic¬
ed law until 1855, when he went to
Iowa. His career in Iowa was al¬
most wholly official. I le served three
terms as governor, and is now in his
second senatorial term, which ex¬
tends to 188:). Mr. Kirkwood is de¬
scribed as an Abe Lincoln kind of
man, tall,angular and odd, and care¬
less in his address. He makes quain'.
speeches, always entertains and gen¬
erally instructs. While he has
many popular qualities, i; is claimed
by his friends that lie has a very rigid
spinal column, and that he will do
some very healthy work in the inte¬
rior department.
The southern member of the cabi¬
net. is Judge Wm. II. Hunt, who
has been assigned to the navy de¬
partment. He was born in South
Carolina, but is a very pronounced
Republican. He is fifty-two years
of age, and was for a considerable
time an eminent lawyer of New
Orleans. During the war he was an
unionist, and since the war a Repub¬
lican. In 1876 he was the Republi¬
can candidate for attorney general
of the state, and was defeated. In
the first year of Air. Hayes’s adminis¬
tration he was appointed judge of
the court of claims, and his residence
since his appointment has been in
Washington City. He can scarcely,
therefore, be considered a Louisiana
man.
The war minister and remaining
member of the cabinet is Robert T.
Lincoln, the only surviving child of
Abraham Lincoln. His age is 37.
We add a brief sketch of his career:
He was born at Springfield, Illinois.
He fitted for college at Phillips
academy, Exeter, New Hampshire.
He entered Harvard college, grad¬
uating in the summer of 1861. The
war w as still in progress, and young
Lincoln entered the army, taking a
place on the staff of General Grant,
with the rank of captain. He serv¬
ed in Virginia through the remain
derof the war, and was present at
the surrender of Appomattox. He
then entered the Harvard law
at Cambridge, and pursued the study
of law. Completing his law studies,
he came to Chicago, and shortly af¬
terward was admitted to the Illinois
bar. In IS72 he became the law
partner of Edward S. Ishan, with
whom he has remained ever since.
Politically he has always been a
staunch and rather rigid Republican.
He has taken but little part in poli¬
tics, having no inclination in that
direction. He was very active, how¬
ever, and ratlier led the movement
against the gang of politicians that
for some years have had control of
the south town of Chicago, and is re¬
garded as being largely instrumental
in bringing out the successful result
of that contest, lie took no active
part in politics until last fall, when
as between tnenhe favored General
Grant as the Republican candidate
for the presidency. lie was a mem¬
ber of the state convention at Spring
field, and was appointed a delegate
to the national convention, but gave
up the place in favor of Stephen A.
Douglas, Jr. lie was a presidential
elector on the state ticket in the last
campaign. He was married in 1860
to a daughter of Senator Harlan, and
is the father of three children. Mr.
Lincoln is regarded as a young man
of executive capacity, remarkably
like his father for his sound common
sense and good judgment, unaffect¬
ed and modest to a fault, and inde
fatigabiy industrious, laborious and
energetic in all that he undertakes.
As a whole the cabinet will be re¬
garded as a good one, but it is very
doubtful whether it contains so good
a lawyer as Mr. Evarts, or so good a
financier as Mr. Sherman, or so
strong a man of affairs as Mr.
Sehurz. Politically it represents the
conflicting elements of the Republi¬
can party. Mr. Blaine is on hand
in person, J/r. James has never cross¬
ed the Cockling faction, Mr. Mac
Veagh is an actual member of the
Cameron family, and Mr. Lincoln
was General Logan’s own candidate
for the cabinet. The other members
will doubtless co-perate to satisfy
every faction of tin* party. This is
the great task they have undertaken,
and if they succeed in consolidating
their party, they will not be apt to
be very particular about the welfare
of the country. But as to all this
the future shall speak.— Constitu¬
tion.
Two men met on Sixth street,
Detroit and began threatening and
calling each other names. One fi¬
nally called the other a liar,and the
rwo were about to grapple when a
woman opened the door and said:
“Gentlemen, are you about to fight?”
“We an !” they answered together,
“Then have the kindness to wait a
moment,” she continued. “My poor !
husband has been sick for weeks and
weeks, and is now Just aide to sit up.
lie is very down-hearted this morn¬
ing, and if you’ll only wait till I can
draw him up to the window.I know i
be will be grateful to both of you.” j I
She disappeared into the house, and
after one look into each other’s faces
the men smiled, shook hands and
departed together.
