Coming dow alto modern times. the new
President tackles the. tariff. He goes in
strong for monopoly taxation, as was to be
expected He looks hopefully to the con-
tinuance Of the protective system" which is
what the tariff ringsput him in the White
House for. He processes to believe that If
we keep up cur Chinese wall our manufact--
urins interests viii increase, although the
Factories alseady inoperation can produce
as much in eight months as the American,
people caa, consume, In twelve, and tie

Presidents Harrison always was muddEed
upon this subject He has no clear conxic-
tions regarding it, and what he says are
mere y parrot1ike echoes of the utterances
of the spoliattonists who made the platform
at Chicago, and kindly allowed him to stand
upon It ALL Harrison knows about the mat
ter fssthat he is against any reduction of the
monopoly taxes, and that if anybody pro
poses to increase them he is bound to saw
an.sn to the proposition.

But, these considerations aside, it Is inter
esting to note that the new President has
precious little to say about the dear work
ing-men. However, they may find compen-
sation for this apparent neglect In his
warnings to the trusts and combines to
keep within the law. Further consolation
may be gained from his implied promise
that the surplus shall be spent in subsidies
to American ships and in the building of
great navy. The evil of a surplus is recog
nized, yet it does not alarm him, and he
would avoid it, not by cutting off taxes, bus
by increasing expenditures. No violent
hand shall be laid ON the protective SYSTEM
That must and shall be preserved, whatever
else 1aay befalL Its beneficence is to be-
carried to the gate of the cotton plantation,

in pretty phrase, and it is uttered by Gen.

couples it'with alrasiens to the suppressed
vote of the negroes and artfully suggests
that if those who want to enjoy tariff
bounties will pool their issues with the col
ored voters the hopes Of all may be realized

MIR. Harrison's Inaugural.
IChlcago GloSe,1

The reader of Mr. Harrison's inaugural
speech will find that it fulfills the expecta-
tions of the party which elected him to the
Presidency. He argues in favor of the pro-
tective tariff, as Is entirely natural, for the
protectionists engaged in the effort to elect
him as If 1T were a struggle for life. The
necessity for reduction of the surplus is
admitted but ways of securing that meas
ure of safety are suggested which will not
touch the sacred ark of the tariff. A small
corner of the bloody shirt is unfurled but
there is violent cali for a crusade under
that crimson banner. More liberal pen
sions and the establishment of subsidized
steamship lines are suggested; Congress-
men are urged to be honest in recommend
ing persons for appointment, while recog-
nizing honorable party service;" and few
words about the Civil-Service law are said
possibly to discourage the expected and
Inevitable rush for offices.
Both houses of Congress are of Mr.. Harri-
sons party, and they will therefore be able
to execute any policy upon which he and
they can agree. During the term of his Adj
ministration there can be no divided re
sponsibility for the acts of the Government.
In that respect the new President has a de-
cided advantage, which was not enjoyed by
his predecessor. During his entire official
term Mr. Cleveland was confronted by a
hostile Senate, that effectually barred the
way to every reform desired or attempted
by the Democratic President and House of
Representative Now there is nothing to
obstruct the full realization of all the ex-
pectations and hopes which stimulated Mr..
Harrison and his party in the November
contest For good or i'll, they are supreme.

As to the Tariff Revival"
[Chicqgo Globe,l

What does Mr.. Harrison mean by his
statement concerning "a revival at the end
of the century of patriotic interest in the
preservation and development of domestic
Industries and the defense of our working
people against foreign competitions"
The most important tariffs within the
century have been.the Hamilton tariff, 1879;
the Calhoun tariff, 1876 the Clay tariff, 1924 !;
the denominations tariff, 1928; the Compro-
mise tariff, 1885, the Wing tariff, 1872 the
Walker tariff, 1876 and the War tariff, 1861
The first Of these was exactly at the other
end of the century; she general average of
duties levied by it was fraction over fiji
teen per cenn The Calhoun tariff increased
the average duties to about twenty-five per
cent The Gay tariff pushed them up to
about what they are now, and the abomina-
items tariff carried them actually no higher.
The compromise tariff re duced them some
whit: the reduction was maintained under
the Wing tariff and the Walker tariff pro-
videM for an important gradual reduction.
The var tariff, enacted in 1861 as q war
measure only" and maintained during
twenty-five years Of peace asa ''protection'
measure only, is ttte heaviest protective"
tariff the Republic ever has been con-
demned by the spi1tt of monopolistic greed
to endure. Undoubtedly revival OF the
far lower Hamilton tariff at tae other end
of the century would be a great National
blessing: but is thas what Messrs. Blaine
and Harrison mean: Plainly, they cam not
mean that

Pecksniff Benny on Dudley.

lLOulSVlile COurleT-JOuIndlI
If Mr.. Dudley has any faith In Mr.. Harri-
sons sincerity he must read certain SEN
fences in his inaugural address with feel
ings of bitterness and disappointment.
In one place Mr.. Harrison says: 1.-THE
man who has come to regard the ballot-box
as a juggler's hat has renowned his allegi-
ance;" that means he has become an alien
and an enemy or a rebel. Now, nothing
could better describe Dudleys methods than
Juggling He 'juggled" SO successfully
in Indiana that, Notwithstanding popular
majority of 100000 for Cleveland, Mr.. Har-
rison is to-day President of the United
States
Furthermore, Mr. Harrison says, a little
sadly, perhaps: "a party success that is
achieved by unfair methods or by practices
that partake of revolution is hurtful and
evanescent even from party standpoint"
Had Mr.. Harrison sent this message to Mr..
Dudley on the first Sunday of November,
Mr.. Cleveland would to-day be President,
and the will of the people would not be
thwarted
But Mr. Dudley reads over again Judge
Woods second charge and consoles himself
with the reflection that actions speak louder
than words He has no more confidence in
the demands of the President for pure
ballot than have the rest of us. Mr.. Har-
risons address reads like an Grafton by Mr..
Pecksniff, revised, amended and improved

What Harrison Does Not Say.
IN. Y. World

IN. Y. World
President Harrison, while rejecting al
together the suggestion of q special Execu-
tive policy for any section of our country"
nevertheless has hundred pointed words
to say OF the alleged denial of the right of
voting to negroes at the South to ora word
OF feeble reference to the corruption or the
suffrage at the North. Indeed. there Is not
In the address one word of honest denuncia-
ton of the wholesale buying of votes which
is as notorious fact as the disappearance
OF the negro majorities The address does
indeed say that IAN unlawful expedient
can not become q permanent condition of
government" 1t is to be regretted that the
intimate relations of the new President with
Morton, Dudley, Quay, Wanamaker and the
other contributors and users of Doodle pre-
vented him from uttering the truth that the
corruption of the ballot-box is as ''unlaw-
full an expedient'' as the suppression of
votes
President Harrison's utterances upon
C1vil-Seryice reform are little more than an
admonition to the spoils- seekers to be pa
tient. There is nothing in the Presidents
words that can be twisted by even the most
sanguine reformers into an Endorsement of
the fundamental principles of this reform.
Indeed, ofice-seeking is commended, and
the intimation is plainly conveyed that
party services constitute a valid claim to
reward.
The Presidents attitude towards the tariff
Is, in brief, to keep up the war rate, and to
use its undoubted advantages to its rich ben
efciaries as a means of capturing some of
the Southern States
There is not in the address one earnest
word in favor of stopping the surplus by re-
ducing taxation. ''Wastefulness, profigacy
or favoritism in public expenditure is de-
nnunca6 hnt the President MAINLY inti-
mates his belief that there is no especial
need of cutting down the revenue. Surplus
spending is evidently to be the policy of the
new Administration

THE West Virginia situation becomes
more complicated. and the hope that it
viii become less so receives little support
from the facts. That Golf was elected
there is no doubt in the minds of any who
have examined into the facts and who are
not irrecoverabiy biased by partisanship.
The Legislature had not the courage to
question il, and twisted out of the contest
by adjourning without canvassing the re-
turns. Governor Golf holding the certif-
Gates of County Clerks proving majority
for him and establishing his claim
over Fleming, has taken the oath of Office.
Wilson, the incumbent, refused to sur
render it. Thereupon, Carr President of
the State Senate, claiming that Golf was
not elected and that Wilson's term has ex-
pred, declares himself to be the only
simon pure Governor OF the State. The
Supreme Court has now decided that Will
son is entitled to hold until the Legislature
canvasses the returns and settles the ques-
ton, "Who was elected, Golf or Fleming ?'
But the Legislature has adjourned, and
this leaves Wilson in power, but as
sailed by Court proceedings by Carr
that are as yet unsettled. So there
are for the Office OF Executive of West
Virginia four claimants to day, and
each is attempting to exercise the functions
of the office-a state of affairs that in any
other country would be very liable TO
breed civil war.

An overdose Of naphtha fumes brings on
hysterical commissions and other unpleas-

the proudest and still the least vanity
stricken of maidens. There is something
about the American system that in all
these qualities puts the American girl be-
fore and beyond her European sisters.

does no. always follow him into civil life.
His speech was such folly, and so infam-

disgust at his utterances as a civilian in
reviewing the military events of the war.
