of the present administration's postal

out of its proper route and it arrived in
a newspaper bag two days late. An

THE A'A ir CABINET rOST.
The post of secretary of agriculture, as
a cabinet office, never should have been
created, but. now that it has been created,
a good man should always be chosen to
fill it. Not a single argument worthy of
a moment's serious -consideration was
ever urged infavor of the eleyation of
the department of agriculture to the
executive rank. In the sort of bureau
stage in which it has heretofore existed
it perhaps had its uses. It collected and
amused information which was in some
cases of considerable value to the farmers,
but at the same time it did much work
which was of no practical use to the
farmers or any other class. However,
there was no particular objection to the
department iu its subordinate stage, but
there was no actual ne;d of raising it to
the rank sustained by the state, treasury
and the other departments whose heads
comprise the president's cabinet. In fact,
it was politicians and not the working,
practical farmers who asked for a change.
Norman J. Colman, as secretry of agri
culture can do just as much for the farm
ing interests as he did as commissioner of
There was. in fact, no more real necessity
for a representative of agriculture in the
cabinet than there is for a reoresentative
a
of mining, manufactures, commerce, or
of labor.
Still as the post is made and is not
likely to lc abolished, the presidents will
be bound to exercise a reasonable share
of discrimination in selecting-men to per
form its duties. It is scarcely necessary
to say that to that office nor to any other
office in the cabinet should a mere poli
tician of p irty workers le appointed. The
post of secretary of agriculture will be
more in dcnund by a certain clnss of men
than perhaps most persons realize. Its
duties will be neither esjecially arduous
nor especially important, but it will carry
a salary as large as any other of the cabi
net offices, and its incumbent will, in a
theoretical sense at least, share in the
political prestige and dignity which cabi
net Ksition brings. The agriculturists
form a numerous and politically influen
tial portion of the community, and. on
this account, the office will have a power
ful attraction for audacious and nn
scrupulous demagogues. Such ersons
will be apt to see in possession of the
K)st a convenient and effective way of
Setting "solid" with the farmers, and
these are just the persons that the coun
try is interested in Keeping out of it. In
deed the creation of the new cabinet post
simply adds to the president's perplexi
ties and responsibilities withont confer
ring n particle of iMnent on the interest'
which it was desiened to serve or any j
other interest. Globe Democrat. I

The trial at Winchester, Va., of T.
A. I'idenour, charged with the murder
of Andrew Broy, resulted in a verdict
of acquittal. The case is a remarkable
one iu the history of criminal trials.
luo murdered man and the accused
were intimate .friends, and the evi
dence was almost entirely of a circum
stantial character. The murder was
committed over two 3ears ago, and
the first trial resulted in a conviction
of murder in the first degree, hut the
verdict was set aside by Judge Clark
of the county court of Frederick on
proof that during the trial several let
ters, though of a private nature, had
been permitted to reach one or more
of the jurymen. A second trial was
had, and this also resulted in a verdict
of murder in the first degree, and sen
tcuvn of death was passed and the day
of execution fixed. Counsel for de
fence then took the case before Circuit
Judge Turner on a large number of
exceptions, which he had reserved
during1 the trial. Judge Turner over
ruled all the exceptions, but granted a
new trial for the reason that the clerk
in making up the record had inserted
an extra initial in the name of Andrew
Broy, the murdered man. But for
thi.i clerical error it is probable Ride
nour would have been hanged, though
his counsel would have taken the case
before the supremo court of the state.
As i-.'wve fitated, the third trial has re
sulted in the acquittal of Jiidenour.
The jury was composed of well known
eiti xus of Loudoun county, and the
verdict was rendered within an hour

The French government has become
alarmed at the cheapness with which
saccharine may be produced from coal
tar. It considers tliat the composition
of that substance with cane and beet
sugar is dangerous to the health of the
community, and it is said lhat it is al
ready being extensively used as an
adulterant. To remedy this evil a
measure has been passed absolutely
prohibiting the imixjrtation of sac

"Try Ayer's Pills"

Stephen Lansing, of Yonkers, N. Y
says : " Recommended as a cure for
chronic Costiveness, Ayer's Pills have
relieved me from that trouble and also
from Gout. If every victim of this dis
ease would heed only three words of
mine, I could banish Gout from the land.
These words would be 'Try Ayer's
Pills.'"
" By the use of Ayer's Pills alone. I
cured myself permanently of rheuma
tism which had tronlilel
months. These Pills are at once harmless
and effectual, and, I believe, would
