Gage, of Chicago, is to be Secretary of the Treasury in the new administra- tion. He is one of the ablest and soundest financiers in the country and his'selection is the strongest assurance Mr. McKinley could have given of his determination to maintain the credit of the nation as firmly as his predecessor has done. Mr. Gage’s limitations are in his lack of political experience. Though the Treasury is unfortunately mixed up with banking, its successful administra- tion is by no means the same thing as the administration of a bank, nor are the forces with which the Secretary has to deal as amenable to- reason as those with whom a banker comes in contact. 0n the other hand, however. Mr. Gage has had a large and wide experience in public affairs in his own section, and his character as a citizen and man is such as to secure public confidence, which is sometimes more valuable than even the confidence of politicians. Little Nevada. A‘ way cut in the Rocky Mountains :imong the cliffs of the Sierra Nevadas is a sparsely settled community that does not equal in population that of this city but it is by courtesy called a State and its name is Nevada. This State was created in the throes it has all the sovereignty of a Common- wealth equal to that of the great States of New York or Pennusylvania, and it hasjust passed a law that was rushed through both branches of the Legisla- ture and approved by the Governor within a week legalizing the coming tight between Corbett and Filzsimmons, and the bruisers have now, \for the first time, a State or Territory in the Union where they can exhibit their brutal skill under the color of the law. The passage of this bill to legalize priz: fighiing in one of the forty-five States of the Union is a reproach upon the'Republic, but Nevada is a sover- eign Commonwealth and it can have prize fighters amuse themselves in that jurisdiction if the legal authorities of the State invite it by statute. It will call Conspicuous attention to the one State of the Union that has long been single and alone in diminishing both business and population, and that is willing to have its escutcheon cloud- ed with disgrace to gain the profits ofa QtiZe fight. .9.- Gonnecticut Ambassladorship. Under the above caption, Colonel N. G. Osborn, the talented editor of the letter to the Connccticut column of the New York Sunday Herald, makes these just and candid observations in regard .o the honorable ambition of Editor J. Addison Porter of the Hartford Post: ., “The little Nutmeg state has never been lucky with the federal administra- tion. Ber claims to conspicuous recog- nition have usually, and to a certain extent, it must be admitted, because the local political powers have been unable to agree among themselves upon a candidate, been overlooked: The last star place awarded Connecti- cut was in 1885, when President Clave- ,’ land sent Thomas M. Waller as Consul General to London. Previous to that appointment there had been a lapse of recognition since Marshall Jewell en- joyed the pOst of Minister to Russia. Previous to his recognition; and with even a greater lapse of time, In‘gersoll had been sent to the same court. ‘ There was, and still is, a genuine2and widespread feeling here that President- elect McKinley ought to recognize Connecticut in the Cabinet, and that Joseph R. lIawley should be the man as Secretary of War, but there is reason to believe that that gallant and ex- perienced man is no longer under con- sideration. . . . There is, however, reason to believe that the new administration Will not re- main unappreciative of the State’s con- spicuous pait in the campaign which _ The fact that she gave a larger plurality than,,.any other Staté in the Union of States in either a claim upon McKinley’s grati- tude or a claim upon the party,.from an organization point of view. ' In this connection the almost un- precedented action of the Connecticut delegation in Congress, in meeting and agreeing to present the name of John Addison Porter for the Italian Ambas- sadorship, is significant. I have it up- on the best of authority that the action was not a perfunctory one, arranged for the purpose of complimenting Mr. Porter heciuse of his failure to obtain the gubernatorial nomination last fall. It possesses the necessary elements of enthusiasm and determination. The delegation has this, furthermore, to strengthen its championship of Mr. Porter for this brilliant position. He is in every way qualified to fill the posi- tion. His uncle, William Walter Phelps filled the Austrian mission at his age. He has had the requisite social train- ing, is a graduate of Yale, the scientific department of which was founded by his grandfather, Joseph Sheifield, and is by temperament disposed toward re- sponsibilities of the character imposed by an Amb, csadorship. From a partisan point of view Mr. Porter ought to be persona grata. He becamea McKinley supporter in the thick of the New England Reid move- ment. His enthusiasm was smiled at and in certain quarters sneered at, but his persistence made its impression up- on the public, and finally resulted in a majority of the delegation to the St. Louis Convention casting their votes for the President-elect. It' personal sei :ice is worth anything—and of course it is—Mr. Porter has distinct and definite claims upon the~incoming administr ation. As for Connecticut at large, it would rejoice to see itself honored through Mr. Porter. State pride, would be gratified.” Ame n and Amen.
