Journal. Why did not the Republicans aid General Grant? More than once they were in a ma jority In both Homes, with a Rspublican President in the White House. Why leftye it to a Democratic House to paas the retire ment bill? When opposition did come it was led by Horr, of Michigan, and other Re publicans. The Journal underestimate the Intelligence of Its readers, or elso it lacks knowledge. WORTHY THOUGH NOT CALLED. The readers of the Ssntinel can readily understand that however excellent Presi dent Cleveland's Cabinet, the Sentinel would be better pleased with its complexion with Joseph . McDonald a member of It. Oar eialted estimation cf the equipment of Mr. McDonald for presiding oyer a department of affairs haa been accompanied by a sense cf State pride. We bare felt that Indiana would be admirably illustrated in the Na tional Executive Council by our statesman whose career has been replete with good words and work; for the destiny of Indiana and the Nation wbo;e public services have been at able and patriotic as his private life has been boncrable. We should do Mr. McDonald injustice, however, as well as President Cleveland, did we express any criticism upon the failure to appoint the former to the Cabinet. We re ccgnlze the force of Mr. McDonald's utter ance through the Sentinel several weeks since, that the formation of the Cabinet was a matter sovereign to the judgment of the President, and that no personal pressure should be brought to bear upon the President by the friends cf any man. We therefore acqniesc3 in the President's appointment?, and feel assured they will conduct their sev eral bureaus with credit to the Administra tion and to the benefit of the country. Bat at the came time we know we but voice the sentiment of the Democracy o! Indiana (and we might say the people of the State, regard leu of party), when expressing appreciation of the earnest efforts of Senator Vborhees and the Indiana Democratic Representatives who co operated with him to obtain the ap pointment of Mr. McDonald. DlShlAL WAIL9. There bas been an indescribable but well defined wall fcr several days past running through the editorial remarks of several of our esteemed contemporaries of the Blaine persuasion. It is truly touching. The Dem ocratic party successful and it having been finally ecttled that the Republican party had no perpetual lease on the administration of tbe Government are probably the constitu ent elements of their fearful howL Lstu take some cote?. Here is tbe Commercial Gazette's truly touching wail that fie coun try Is on tbe way to the "demnltlon bow- wowa": It 1 ahocaln.

The Tribune further wallt, but thinks the "unification" of the country is one of tho bright feathers in the Republican cap. There never wes a moment of true "unlficatbn" Since the Republican party came into pow er. The inberent principles of the party its warp and woofits logical tendencles.are all against tbe true idea of the "unification" of the country. It Is unmistakably a sec tional organizstion. It was conceived, born, bred, lived and died ot sectionalism. Tne New York Tribune puts its paws on the fence, and raising its head moonward gives cut this truly beautiful and touching bowl to the general contribution: Two hundred and fifty tounda of superb reraln lscene embodied In General Hancock will be pre cut to-morrow at the Inauguration ot a Democratic President ol whoo nima anl exlhtence the Gen eral waa aa totally iRnorant four ytari airo aa ho wss of the tariff.

He irsued patents for lands in Louisiana, embracing about 700,000 acres, to aid in the construction of the New Orleans and Pacific Railroad Thlslooks like a big job. We await paitenlly for an ex planation. If Cleveland's new Secretary of the Interior had begun his official lire with that sort of a stroze we have an idea that a mob would have gathered around the Inter ior Department shortly afterward. The tine lt-.li a a hand of Jay Gould has probably manipulated this affair. This land is worth from f 1 '-?" to $2 :0 per acre.

THE CABINET. hi '1 r ' " TII03I1S F. It IVA KD, SECRETARY Of STATE. Perhaos do one family not excepting the Tamara of Misaia-d Dpi or the Hamptons of South Carolina cm boast cf a loncer line of dlstingniehed members of the Unittd States fcfenate ana of the L'jwer House of Congress than the B&jards of Delaware. Their in fluence in their own colony and State may be said to have hern the controlling ono through all the tclllical changes and tIcIs- situdf s of more than two centuries. Prom the time that old Nicholas Biyard, brother inlaw of (iovemor Peter Btuyve sunt, und a rigid Huguenot, came to America and settled in what is now the State of Delaware, there has never tuen a political f.ictlon or party In the com monwealth strong enough to overthrow the power of the Bavard family.

Through the framing, of alt the later reconstruction legislation he stood as the representative of the law part ot the North ertt people that believed In dealimr equita bly by the Southern States, and alll onghln the minority he made himself felt In lh ad vrrncy of their cause. He was re r'! ted In IST.', und became a member of .'. tectoral Commlaalon, voting with his Diotocratln colleagues against the seating of Rutherford B. Hayes in the Presidential Chair. Through out the "soft money" craze, Mr. Bayard always was recognized as the stronr.fH advocate of national Integrity and the lirm tat opponcut of the Democrats as well as Re publicans who were willing to curv through such legislation as repudiated or appeared to repudiate my part of the na tional debt. If it had not been for this pv itlon be would very possibly htva received the Democratic nomination for tbe Presi dency in 1SS0; but as it was, the "soft money" men banded together agtlnst hi ua and he was beaten, although he got RVl votes on the first ballot In the convention. He was re-elected to the Senate In 1HS1. and ir perhaps the mcst iutloential member of that body to day on the Democratic side. Pr b ably there is no prominent member ot his party at the present time who ha brighter political prospects before him than those of Thomas F. Bayard. danii:l manning, f kcb ktary of the trkasury. Daniel Manning is in the prime of life, about forty-seven years of age. He was born of parents in a very humble condition of life. At an early age he entered the print ing oiilce of the Albany Argus, and in dus time rcsa from the drudgery of sweeping Moors and running errands to be a composi tor in the office of that influential journal. At that time William Cawldy was its editor, a man of great ability, who made the paper. Always on the lookout for young men of es frgy to assist him in the conduct of his ionrnal, Cassidy took particular potice of Manning, who was a hero and a terror to some Vf'vi r - i . ... - : v. . -"''" ot the leading roughs in Albany. Moreover, he was bright as well as courageous and en ergetic, and when he was about twenty Cassidy gave him a position as reporter on the staS of the Argus. As sucii bis first as signments were in the Chamber of the New York Assembly. Manning eoon became known to the leaders in tbe House, and it was not long before he evidenced ability in manipulating the vote of his county. He rcse in business step by step, and is now President of the Argus Compaoy, Albany, and the "inspirer'' of the Argus' utterances. Manning possesses considerable wealth, dresses handsomely and lives ii good 6tyle. He lately married the second time. By hs lirt wife he has one sod and one daugater. In personal appearance Manning is tall, large and handsome. His forehead is lofty; hi3 eyes are exceedingly fait and bright. He is dignified and courteous, crupalously well dressed and well kept. While he fig ures succfsslnliy in public, bis strength is lffs as an orator than in counsel as a politl cal 'rxanager. An indication of his charac ter is to be f:und in his casting the vote of Nw York a a unit during the proeeedlpgs of the late Democratic National Convention atCliicapo, the purpase of the amendment npon which the vote was being taken being the substitution of individual for collective voting. Protests could not shake his pur pose, which be carried out, and the resutt was the nomination of the gentleman who is new President of the United States. VSi i' .'y:-. f Uft.t tl.

His par ents removed to the Ulatn of Ark anus tUe following year and settled In the b)ttoni lands of the Red River Valley. At a sulla blte young Garland was rent to Bar ls tot. Kentucky, to be educated In what was then tho most famous seat of learning In the Sjuthweat, Hie aradetulo atndtes weio pursued In the Catholic collrges of St. Maiy and H, loseph. During the latter ptft tt his iraidenca in Bardotown he read law and altat hd tho trial ot cause In the court room whenever he had an opportunity. At that time the loal bar was very atron.tr. Garland profited irreaily by this practice as wllesby hN tttidi4, which h pursued Willi peralalent cievoilon. IMnrnlng hoa be (otitlnued to woo ttt jealous tr.lslress tha Jaw. and In lH.VI waa ndmllted to prao tlcnt VasiiiiHton, Arkanaa. In he rntiüvt I to Little Rock, the Capital ot the State. He was admitted to practica as no attorney l' tha SupremaCourt of the I'nlud Male on December v, iHt.o, By that time he had attained professional reputation, and In the same year was a Rll atid Kverett RUctor. He opposed the aecea sunt of Arkansas as long as there was auv hope i t a peaceable solution of sectional dif ferences. When, however, war w n lueyita hie, be threw i:i hts lot with his State, He was a member of the Provisional Congress which met at Montgomery, Ala., In May, IMH, and took part In drawing up tt. Con stitution of the Confederata Slates. During tbe striigvla between the Federal and Con federate Governments, he gave his coumel to the ton them raufce, first ax a Representa tive and afterwards as a Senator. Ha was serving a.i a Senator in Ita Con cress wht-i tbe Confederacy collapsed. In 1M.3 Mr. Garland petitioned the Supreme Court of the Ublted States to practice therein, without taking "ibe Ironclad oath," t the same time sub mlttlm.' an argument tn snpport ot his petl tlon which was a masterpiece of reasoning. He won his rate, which was not decided un til the December term ot the Supreme Ceuit, Wi7. While it was pending he was e!e:ted Unittd States Senator from Arkansas. He appeared to take his scat in the Senate, March I, 1S(7, but was not permitted to do 80. In 1 sT 1 Mr. Garland was elected Governor of Arkansas, without opposition. To him was due the overthrow ot carpet-bag rule in that State. In less than a year after he be carta Governor, the credit of Arkansas had improved from the value of twenty rents on the dollar to sixty-five cents.
