This time it was not the wax one in the

Cline was in New York on business, and
as Mrs. Rose and daughter were down
there shopping, Mr. Rose asked Mr. (‘line
if, after he finished his business, he
would go down to Macy’s and escort Mrs.
Rose home, and Mr. Cline, like a gentle-
man, said yes, and went to Macy's. lie
found Mrs. lines and daughter there. and
they went into the restaurant after some
refreshments. At a table nearly opposite
a lady sat, who kept looking at Mr. (.‘line
very sharply. and at last sent a waiter
over to him to ask him if his name was
llopper. Sir. Cline sent word luck that
it was not, and the lady walked out. In,

.l CABINET FOR Mlt. HARRISON.
The country seems to ho a good deal
not. All the newspapers, stall-amen and
small-fry politicianh are making recom-
mendations for and suggestions about it,
and some of them are it little inclined to
be impudent towards Benjamin, the
grandson of his grandfather. .
Tun Evnsixn SEXTINEI., thus far, has
had nothing to say about this important
matter, irrthe hopo that the cmnblncd
Wisdom of the country outside of it
might besuflicient to get up a cabinet of
tho first quality—a cabinet that would
be pleasing to Mr. Harrison and satis-
factory to the country at large.
Probably a satisfactory cabinet could
be formed outside of South Norwalk if
there was right kind of material enough
in the rest of tho country. Judging
from tho objections which have been
made to all which has been suggested
this is not the (use, and to save trouble
and relieve Mr. Cleveland's successor of
any further annoyance and anxiety we
recommend the following as a cabinet
that the country can pomt to with pride,
and that will comprise a set of advisers
sure to make Dir. Harrison's administra-
tion a success.
For Secretary of i-‘tatc, llobcrt ll.
Rowan. fie has plenty of leisure to at-
tcnd to the duties of this office. [In is a
genuine diplomat, but if necessary to
make political capital, could give the
British lion's tail an occasional twist.
If England should show any resentment
he could convince the mother country
that it \vnaonly is childish prank and
save us from any actions row with the
old lady.
For Secretary of the Tu-aeury, Dudley
I’. Ely. Mr. Ely is a financier of large
experience and much success. lie knows
how to make money and how to invest
it. If that surplus which caused Cleve-
land to raise the infillt‘ which defeated
him for re-election don't all got out of
the treasury before Mr. Harrison takes
the reins of government, Mr. Ely could
distribute it arrnnd South Sorwalk in
such a manner as to do a heap of good.
For Secretary of War, Major J. C.
Crows. lie [than long and successful
military record, having served the long-
est in the Connecticut militia of any man
in tho service. Ho wants to be a general,
and this appointment would secure him
the till-- with the etriulurricrzts he do:-
serves. it would also afford him an op-
portunity of doing something hands-mic
for his not), who is connected with this
paper, and his son-in-lnw, who ftCUlll-
moods him for the position.
For Secretary of the Navy, John H.
Ferris. lie is a regular “old salt," and
lrmws more about maritime matters in
a minute than Secretary \Vhitney ever
thought he knew. Besides he is an able
financier and knows how a vessel ought
to be built and how much it should cost.
We think it is time “land lubbers" took
a back seat in navy matters. No better
man could be put in charge of our navy
than Mr. Ferris: and it wouldn't hurt
Norwulk to have a navy yard tip at Win-
nipauk.
For Secretary of the Interior, William
S. Knapp. lie, we think, has thought
of this before us, as he is away in the in~
trrior now. Mr. Knapp is an old soldier
and would be very satisfactory to the G.
A. R. He believes in pcnsioning nll
worthy veterans. If necessary he could
perform the duties of commissioner of
the general land office. His experience
as surveyor in this city would enable
him to divide the public lands properly,
light Indiana or lay out a railroad
through the public domain. ,
For Postmaster General, Joseph S.
Dunning. He knows the whole business.
He has been postmaster about sixteen
years. His‘best recommendation is that
he holds nfiicb right along whether his
party is In power or not. His appoint-
merit would make Mr. Harrison solid
with the civil service reformers and oth-
er idealists that make an occasional on-
slaught on practical methods and things.
But Mr. Dunning is no idealist. A man
who has run the South Norwnlk post
office for so long a time is a greater man
than he» who is at the head of the do-
partment at Washington. All in favor
‘ of Mr. Dunning for Postmaster General
say aye. Carried unanimously.
For Attorney General, John H. Light.
Everybody says at once, “the right man
for the right place." Young, handsome,
brilliant, of great mental grasp and
chock full of legal ,lore, no man could
be better equipped for the head of the
department of justice and to give hisad-
vice and opinions on questions of law
When they are required by the president
or by heads of the other‘exccutive de-
partments. He could appoint his learn-
ed brother, Capt. Russell Frost, Solicitor
General, and perhaps work J udgeKuapp
into the next vacancy in the United
States Supreme Court. Unless Mr. Har-
rison takes Ifr. Light with the restof the

Connecticut's Oyster Farms.
The Shell Fish Commission in their re-
port just made public state that during
the year ending November 1, they have
granted 41 designations for ground cov-
ering 1,225 acres. for which $1,255 was
received. Surrender papers have been
prepared for 1,689 acres more. and 80
acres have been returned to the State
under the law, which provides for sur-
render of such grounds as were designat-
ed by town committees without expense
to lie State. The fleet of oyster steamers
has been increased to 66, having an ng~
gtcgatc carrying capacity of 166,785
bushels.
With few exceptions, spawning the
[mat nation was two weeks later than
usual, and the set was very light. Cold
weather and excessive rains, affecting
the condition of the writer, doubtless
tended to the unfavorable results. The
r-xpr-rt of Connecticut oysters in foreign
markets increases annually. Most of the
stock is stripped through New York
agents. The foreign trade. however,
does not compare with the domestic
trade. .
The continued destruction of oysters
by starfish has so impaired the value of
many grounds, that the Commissioners
have deemed it their duty '0 reducctheir
appraisals; better», the aggregate amount
of the taxes laid the past year has been
much has than that of any previous
year. The list of 188688? was $7,087.75;
the list for the current year, 1887-8, is
The amount collected from
twirl, was $5,843.44. That starfish have
become a serious check to thc profitable
cultivation of oysters of the State, can-
not be denied. The absence of the star-
fish from a bed one day givco no assur-
ance that he will not be found there the
next day. One of the best devices re-
cently brought to the attention of culti-
va‘rors isthat invented by Thomas Thom-
as. Mr. Thomas attaches to a horizontal
bar about four feet long, bundles, or
tails, of cotton yarns, about 12 or 15 in-
ches long, shaped like horse tails, form~
ing a broad mop, hung like a dredge
over the oyster bed. The stars, large
and small, disturbed as it passts over the
bed rise up and become entangled in the
threads, and are so brought up in large
numbers.
During the past year oyster cultivation
along the western shores of the State
have suffered great losses from oyster
pirates. They seem to be so numerous
in the neighborth of Bridgeport, Strat-
ford, Norwalk, Westport and Southport
that the cultivators have had to combine
at great expense, for mutual protection.
