The Pittsburg lUnMi (U'rublicao)
savs : Concerning the retiring admin
istration it Is ccthing more ihuu fair to
flay that Secretary Whitney has eet up
a high standard for hU successor, in the
management or the Navy Department.
The iutV.ierces which gave the Secitta
ry his position were cot of the most
auspicious character, but there Is no
disputing the fact that bid four years'
Administration of the navy has d-juo
much toward rehabilitating that sjuie
what demoralized arm of tho public de
feuse. If Secretary Tracy improves ILo
navy as tsuch as Secretary Whitney
has. he can leave c tTlce w Ith the Uuite J

The State of West Virginia, ia well

State, at noou, General GofT, the Re

one of the rooms of the State House set
apart for the use oi the Governor.
About the same time, iu another apart

also look upou hiuiaolf the prescribed
Oath, and was prepared to transact tho
business of the oQice, while in his pri
vate cilice E. W. Wikon, who ha tilled
the position four years, coniiuueO, in

KrccxiXiziNo the meddlesome and
mischievous comprehensiveness of the
proposed amendment to the State Con
stitution to prohibit the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquor as a bev
erase, says the Philadelphia i.'ecortf, the
Prohibitionists are trying to qualify its
harshness by hair splitting interpreta
tions of its meaning. It is held, for
example, that the manufacture of cider
and domestic wines would not be in
terfered with, for the reason that the
cider and wines so made are not intoxi
cating until arter fermentation. Bat
cider and wines are made in tha ex
pectation that they will ferment.
There is guilty knowledge of this natu
ral result. Cider and wines are, in
deed, not very palable or particularly
popular berverages until after fermen
tation. The process of fermentation is,
in fact, the last stage of manufacture.
It may ba granted that the farmers
who sell their cider before it may have
fermented, and the farmers' wives who
throw away their grape juice before it
may have turned to wine, might escape
the penalty o? the law, but not when
they aid and abet the operation of na
ture by storing op forbidden juices till
they get ripe for mfschief. The lan
guage of the amendment is clear :
The manufacture, sale or keeDin? for
Bale of intoxicating liquor to be used as
a beverage is hereby prohibited, and
violation of this prohibition shall be a
misdemeanor punishable as shall be
provided by law.
Would a farmer who had rolled a
barrel of sweet cider into his cellar in
the fall, and rolled it out full of hard
cider in the spring, be held euiltless
would be to open a bole as big as a
barn door in the prohibitive quality of
prohibition.
The farmer had better pull down his
cider mill if the prohibitory amendment
shall be adopted, and the farmer's wife
had better go out of the wine business.
As President Cleveland passes from
public to private life, savs the Pniladel
phia Lclj.r, it is but the merest justice
for men of all parties to cordially con
cede that his administration, though
not free from errors of judgment, has
been one honorable to him and credita
ble to his conntiy. His discharge of dntv
has been faithful, his conduct honest
and patriotic, Ms Industry and zeal un
questionable, bis courage too great for
his sacces. Daring his entire term of
office neither Lis personal nor official
integrity has been impugned : his con
duct of affairs, foreign and domestic,
has been conservative, safe, and has re
sulted in the common prosperity of the
country. President Cleveland retires
from his high office worthy the contin
ued respect and confidence of the people
whom for four years he baa so faithful
ly, devotedly served, and we do not
doubt that in the coming years the gen
eral respect of his countrymen for his
courageous and uprignt administration
of the affairs of the Government will
increase, and that into his retirement
he will be followed by the grateful
sense of their pppreciat.'on of all the
good he Las, with high conscience and
patriotic purpose, wrought lo their,
Uhalf.
Tub administration o! Grover Cleve
land as President of these United
States ended and that of Benjamin
Harrison, began at noon on Monday.
President Cleveland leaves the office
which he administered as a "public
trust" with clean hands and with the
tone of the public eerv!co vastly lm
proved from the time of his Inaugura
tion, four years ago. He hcnestly
and earnestly stood as a bulwark
against tha encroachments of all kinds
of political jobbery which an oveifiow
lDg treasury surplus invited and
throughout his entire Administration
endeavored to administer the affairs of
the Government for the greatest good
of the whole people. He leaves the of
fice with the record of an honest, in
corruptible man, of high purpose and
ihe courage of bis convictions, of sound
judgment and an exalted conscious
ness or having done his duty, and the
future history of this country will rive
to President Cleveland, a high place in
recording the glonea of Ler statesmen.

1 'reside ut Harrison In his inaugural
address, dots Lot seem to bel.eva that
the tariff need-i any revision. The In
equality of taxing one class of people for
the btnetit ot another, ia treated with
all the tenderness due to the million
aire monopolists, who contributed so
liberally to the election or Mr. liars
risen to the Piebidency, and the patriot

the HuUttrvitn ey of President Harrison

The Cabinet as a ffhole.
The accepted rule for a good tnacy
years since Jackson's time in fact, has
been la organizing 'tbe cabinet." at
thongti there is no recognition of such a
body in the Constitution or laws, for
the President to give representation to
acknowledged party chiefs, than to pay
some attention to sectional representa
tion, and lastly to appoint one or more
or his close persoual friends, on whom
be can rely as closo to to him personally
as well as politically. Generally cab
inet making has set out with the selec
tion et the personal friends, and the
chinks have been filled in on
considerations of party leadership or
geographical propriety.
Genia Harrison names two of his
Secretaries for the reasons of a pruely
personal character. He takes his law
partner. Miller, for Attorney General,
and Mr. Noble, lately of Iowa but now
of St. Louis, an old college mate and
intimate friend, for the interior, the
most important of the patronage de
partments, as it includes lauds, pen
sions, patents. Indians, and other odds
and ends, and will have control of the
Federal census next yaar. No fault
can be found with these selections, al
though the Indiana Republicans are
much disgusted an unknown quantity
in State politics like Miller should be
taken rather than New or Huston, ir
President Harriscn hs been as fortnn
nate as Mr. Cleveland was in his per
sonal selections he may consider him- 1
self fortunate. The stroc crest men in
Cleveland a cabinet Manning and
Whitney were appointed on this
ground.
Mr. Elaine, through his strikers un
questionably made terms for the State.
Department, at Chicago. It is the be
lief General Harrison would gladly have
avoided tha dose, and would Dave done
so had Senator Sherman been willing to
laae tne :ate .uepartmeni. Mr. Wana
maker's appointment was com .nded
by Chairman 0.uay, in compliance with
ante-election promises for services ren
dered. It is in no sense a represen
tative appointment awarded the Re
publicans of this great Commonwealth.
Not a Congressional district in the
State but could have presented one or
more truly representative Republicans
with pretensions to statesmacshi p. It
Is a personal appointment as to Mr.
Qaay. and the repayment of a debt or
prttitude and finance as to President
Harrison. Still there is a probability
the great clothier may make an excel
lent Postmaster General ; but the shop
is a bigger one than that on the corn
er or Mrket and Twelfth.
The Treasury, for many years the
moat important of all the departments,
but now, aa the great financial ques
tions have been adjusted, of lessening
Influence, goes to Mr. Windom, of
Minnesota and Wall Btreet. For six
months be held the key under General
GarGeld's brief Administration. He is
not a strong man. In the sense Sher
man, Manning. McCulloch and Allison
are accepted as strong financiers, but
f Mis several grades behind all of them.
He was only accepted arter Sherman,
Allison and McKinley bad declined.
The Secretary cf the Navy, Mr. Tra
cy, of Brooklyn, is a leading local poli
tician of the city or churches and a
brilliant lawyer, but his friends do not
claim for him the acute business exper
ience or knowledge so necessary for the
ereaHon of the new navy, and which
Mr. Wbitnev illustrated so admirably.
Mr. Tracy is an after thought to con
ciliate Miller and Piatt. Mr. Procter,
of Vert-ont. for Seeretarv of War, and
ex-Govecor Rusk, of Wisconsin, for
the new Department of Agriculture,
are little known, but these departments
are not of much importance, thou eh
tber? is no telling what may be made of
that of agriculture.
As a n hole the Cabinet mav be mq
sidered as a thing of shreds and patches
in which Elaine wilt be the dominating
fore. For the most part it dots not
represent the first or second choice of
the President. It was forced on him
by clamor and necessity. The men he
would hav6 bad he could not get. They
gave him the "bhake" a Elaine shake.
As in the past there may be exceptional
capacity existent in the list to be devel
oped by the course of eyents. The two
opposing forcjs will very likely be
Elaine and anti-Elaine, and out of this
may come coDflicis and ruptnre. It is
iaid General Harrison will be the con
.rolling force, but If he had the ceces
tsry force to control why did he ap
point Elaine, against his own better
judgement? That desperate dema
gogue, ekllfol Intriguant, and the auda
cious adventurer is an element of trou
ble and an incitement to corrupt
practices and reckless policies whenever
he can get "a finger in the pie." And
he generally does. Pittsburg 1'oat.
They Had a Time.
Washinotox, March 5. The Penn
sylvania troops duttinguiabtod them
selves this morning ia and around the
poatcClce department, where man y of
them were quartered. For some unac
countable reason they were not enabled
to leave the city before 4 or 5 o'clock
in the evening. Taken as a whole they
were jubilant, hilarious, t unloving and
happy go- Sucky crowd. During the
morning the coU and mattresses with
which they were supplied, together with
blankets, etc, were resumed to the
owners, leaving the boys ia blue noth
ing to do b"i. to have a good time. TbeT
thoroughly appreciated the opportunity
and gathered in considerable numbers
on K street, at the intersection of
Seveutb street. They first of all turn
ed their attention to the colored shoe
blacks. The 'ahintes." relying npon
their color and supposed ignorance,
opened the ball by giving back im
promptu and sometimes .impertinent
aaewers to their customers. This was
tolerated for a while, until patience
ceased to be 1 virtue, and tbe "poor
colored boys." large and email, wer
soon beins; tossed up in blankets, whicn
were vigorously and roughly shaken by
representatives from the Keystone
State. The fnn progressed. Hand
carts were confiscated and their own
ers were indu'ged in the luxary of a
ride, free or expense, which, however,
sometimes terminated rather too
abruptly lo be altogether pleasant.
Fakirs foaght shy of these boys in blae.
Beer wagons and soda water teams

The cria came, however. The boys
got too hilarious ; the patrol wagon
was called and a company was qnlckly
formed and. with bajonela at tbe
charge, dispersed Ihe crowds which bad
formed and blocked up the thorough
fares. The charge was harmless, ex
cept tor the chargers, some of whom,
instead ot charging tbe enemy charged
terra tiruia. to the detriment of their
persona. A cordon of sentries was
posted and the boys sought other fields
of amusement.

The Old and Ihe 5fw.
It will not be necessary for the Cleve
land Administration and ita frends to
patiently await tbe impartial judgment
of history in its behalf. As the Ad
ministration retires it is followed tv
abundant evidences of tbe hearty good
will and applause of tbe treat body of
tbe American people. In the manage
ment of the executive affairs of the
Government President Cleveland and
bis oflieial advisers encountered obsta
cles and embarassments which could be
overcome only by the utmost firmness
and most resolute devotion to the pub
lic service. Upon undertaking the
task of admimstrr.tion they found in all
the official departments a spirit or
favoritism . and. subordination of lha
government machinery to private inter
ests. In the- Department of the Interior
monopolists of every grade and variety
neld high sway, from tbe subsidized
railroad companier and cattle barons
in usurped control or tbe public domain
to tbe rings of pension agents and In
dian contractors at Washington.
In tbe Post Office Department still
lingered a remnant of the S'ar Home
ring by no means so bold as formerly,
but watching every opportunity to
prostitute tbe pnblic service to private
ends.
The Navy Department when transt
mitted to tbe Administration now go-
log out was encumbered by its Naval
Boards and other parasitic growths of
malfeasance in government.
In tbe War Department was intrench
ed a little army of snobs, who ruled tbe
military establishment through their
social influence In tbe fashionable sa
loons and clubs of Washington.
The Treasury and its custom bouses
swarmed with accomplices of importers
and manufacturers systematically en
gaged in pIunderiLg tbe Government of
its revenue through false and f radon
lent undervaluations of merchandise.
In wrestling with couutless abuses
engendered during a long sway of prty
President Cleveland and his failbfnl
assistants In tbe Cabinet met not
merely the vindictive hostility of pow
erful private Interests but the persistent
opposition of a partisan majority In the
Senate of the United S ates. In no
branch of tbe public service has this
partisan hostility of a Senate majority
been so keenly experienced as in tbe De
partment of State.
From the very outs tart It seemed to
be the deliberate purpose of a partisan
Senate to baffle and defeat every effort
of the Administration to make an hon
orable and advantageous adjustment of
Important questions of international
controversy. While the Senate, in
obeying a blind spirit of party, rejected
the Fisheries treaty and tbe Extradi
tion treaty to break up tbe colony of
American scoundrels in Canada, tbe
Jingoes within and without its doors
sought to crge the country Into a con
flict with a peaceful nation over a hand
ful of petty islands in the South Pacific.
But, thanks to the patriotic wisdom
of the Administration and to tbe pru
dence and skill of the head of the Slate
Department. President Cleveland's
term closes with the country not mere
ly at peace but holding the most friend
ly relations toward all foreign Govern
ments. Though some questions remain
unsettled, the negotiations have pro
greased so far In a friendly and honor
able spirit that nothing but folly and
recklessness can make them ground's of
international conflict.
Tbe new Administration will begin
under quite different conditions from
those which President Cleveland and
Cabinet encountered on the 4th of
March, IS80. Instead of facing a hos
tile Senate, President Harrison will be
greeted by a Senatorial majority eager
to sustain him and his official advisers
in every meaaure they may propose.
At tin same time they will succeed to
a management of the public eervlce
from wbich grave abnses have been ex
tirpated, and which is now conducted
with order and integrity In every de
partment. In such circumstances the
administration of the Government ought
to be a comparatively easv task.
11 me new Administration shall prov6
as successful in ell respects as that
wnicn nas preceded It the American
people will have cause to reloice. It
us trust that, with the fair critscism to
which it should always be subjected, it
wtu not oe followed Dy tbe partisan
nils represent at ion and calumny that

The survival of the Democratic party
Is as certain as its present rtrat Tt
death was repeatedly predicted during
tbe long succession of its disappoint
ments and disasters. Its hold on power
was brief. Its present discouragement
ia great. But an organization which
has embraced in good and ill repute
half the number or electors in the Uni
ted yates will not disband. Passing
into opposition it will remain alert and
holding the general policy championed
by Cleveland, will flnl nrtr r.

The Republican party will re-enter

tainty that future success must be
