ppiat N needless at this time. SO far IS
President Harrison has expressed his
view of executive duties, he has made his
as free from objection as any |
like address that has ever came to the |
American people, and 1t IL fair that he
should be commended and sustained so
long as no shall sustain the fairly inter-
preted pledges of his inaugural. He
starts we'll; let him be faithful to himself.
TWO THINGS MADE PLArN.
Philadelphia Record Ind
President Hstrison's inaugural makes
two things very plain. lie insists upon
the msintenance of the protective system,
and upon Federal interference with the
elsetions for congressman In the southern
STATES. Protection Is urged ns necessary
TO the industrial prosperity OF the south,
and reconstruction ~ necessary to It's
political emancipation.
The address will satisfy the violent and
aggressive spirits in the Republican party,
but not the thinking masses. The doc
trine OF protection is one upon which no
perty can make o safe and permanent
stand; and the Federal reconstruction Of
the southern states, in order to force
upon them an ignorant negro domina-
tion, Ia q rash and impracticabls scheme,
which will fail, however often it may be
tried. The defeat of their party in 1884
has taught the Republicans nothing IL the
dsliyerance of President Harrison may be
accepted as an authentic expression of
their views.
ENFORCE THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW,
Philadelphia North American, Rep.
The reference of the inaugural to the
| civil service Is suggestive. and II The

and without evasion. II it ie not to be
enforced, then lot it BIO repealed, aud make
