A Very Wise Omission.
iChicago Journal

There was nowhere hint of the single
term principle in President Harrison's in
| augural address. and the omission, to speak
after the Milesian manner, was its best feat
ure. 1t will be time enough to approach
the second-term question three years from
now, when the Republican party shall begin
to discuss the matter of its candidates for
1892, and when President Harrison shall
have been long enough in office to know
whether he wants another term or not.
Cleveland's one term pledge, the violation
of which he never defended nor even ex-
planned had a tendency to bring all such
immature and insincere and inconsiderate
pledges into discredit As he who comes
out of the battle with credit may boast of
what he has done, while it is unbecoming in
one entering battle to boast of what he
will do, so pledge by a Presidential candi-
date or by President just sworn into Office.
as to what he will do or will not do three
years afterward, is idle; and recent history
has not had tendency to give such pledges
solemnity or to make them the subject of
public credulity.
The country expects from President Har-
rison a moderate, yet vigorous-a con-
sentative, yet progressive, and patriotic
administration If he shall fulfill the hopes
now conferred in him. the country will de-
mand his reelection, and no candidate can
stand in his way for the Republican nomi-
nation nor before the people at the ballot
box If he shall create a feeling of friend
ship and reciprocal confidence among the
people of all classes at the South-if he
shall promote solution of the race prob
lem. and shall convince the whites of the
South that all their interests, their political
condition and their social structure are as
secure under Republican as under Demo-
cratic rule, the South will demand as
earnestly as the North that he shall be a
candidate for a second term
1t is doubtless also true that If he shall
consciously satisfy the popular demands in
the main as to administrative measures-if
he shall see the fruits of his labor growing
and ripening under his hand-if he shall
find that his measures promote the public
good and meet with popular approval-if
his policy for the next three years shall
prove to be partially successful and shall
give promise of complete success, he will
naturally desire to serve another term in
office to fulfill the mission to which he had
been called but which will be still incom-
plete, to confirm and establish the results
Of his toll and to place beyond danger Of

One Law for All the Land.

Those who have expected the President to
make special topic or treatment of the
Southern question" are fortunately dsap-
pointed He makes the important declara-
ton that he has altogether rejected the
suggestion of special executive policy for
any section of our country" He holds the
just and equal enforcement Of
law to be the true policy for
all sections of the country. He does not ad-
wise any new departure, and will not at
tempt any new methods, but he will
endeavor to see that the constitu-
ton and laws are enforced Here, again
he puts very happily, in few words
the reciprocal duty of the people
and the Government: "As citizen may
not elect what laws he will obey, neither
may the Executive elect which he will en-
force" The President will not evade the
duty of enforcing any law, and he urges
with unanswerable force the duty of good
citizens to obey them all The Presidents
Southern policy is the same as his Northern
policy, that of enforcing the laws No per-
son can object to this policy except violators
of law, and they are not good cOnstitu-
tional advisers. The central idea of all that
is said relative to Southern affairs is that
the Southern people themselves are su-
rremely interested in the material develop
ment of the South, and as a means to this
end should aid in the enforcement of law.

A Good Word for the Cabinet.
IChicago Trihunel

The Cabinet as whole is intended for adj
ministrative rather than political functions
The President manifestly had high sense
of his obligations to the country and his
duty to the public service. There is no
member of the Cabinet concerning whose
ability, or integrity, or cheerful desire to do
his whole duty by the President and the
people We need have the least concern.
While it may be said that half of the Cabi-
net is untried in public life, the selection of
the other half is full of promise and suffi-
GENTLY indicates that the President will not
be without safe and experienced counsel
ors. For the part that has been tried the
country may safely form the highest expec-
tations of prudent and energetic admins
tration of public affairs; and for the part
that has not been tried we have only pleas
ant and confident anticipations of success

Genuine Civil-Service Reform.

An important feature in the message, and
that which is most liable to attract atten-
ton, is the reference to civil offices These
constitute a stumbling block in the way of
every President and every head of depart
mint The object Of the Civil-Service law
was to remove this and improve the public
service. The law has never been honestly
enforced, and consequently the principle
has not been respected 1t will be observed
that President Harrison is firm believer in
the principle and proposes to enforce the
law, and the special paragraph in his mes
sage in that connection may be accepted as
n notice accordingly to all concerned. He
does not propose to eat devils broth" all
the time, if he can help it, and he will Try to
help it. This is precisely what Harrison
meant when he delivered that message from
the east front of the capitol

Wise and Patriotic Sentiments.
lChicago News (Mug.l.l

The new President of the United States
has acquitted himself admirably of this
first duty of his Office. The address shows
that he has carefully weighed the leading
questions of the day, and that, while stand
ing with his party on all of them, he is yet
an American who has the good of the Ma
ton at heart, and who realizes that he is
the President of all the people, both North
and South The policy outlined by him is
wise and patriotic.

The Work of q Patriot,


[Chicaro Tibune.1
The inaugural address of President Harri-
son is a modest, thoughtful, well-written
and dignifed document, and as might have
been expected, Is characterized by the
patriotic sentiment of National UniOnism.
As compared with the inaugural message of
his predecessor there will be found less of
the writer's personality-less ego and less
disposition to impart ethical instruction to
the people. 1t is of moderate length, and
yet affords ample opportunity to touch upon
the questions which are of conspicuous Ma
tiOnalimportance, and to make several sug-
gestions which are in consonance with the
principles of the Republican party, and
which If needed, will make for the ad-
vantage Of the whole country. .
1t is well written, thoughtful in its
character and dignified in its tone 1t is in
refreshing contrast with Mr. Cleveland's
inaugural In that it does not abound in
promises destined to be unfulfilled In a
certain sense it is nOn-committal as to de-
tail, but its general tone Is unmistakable.
There is much it does not say. but what it
does say is clear and direct and no one can
mistake its meaning. Its patriotism and
Unionism are manifest at every point. Its
Americanism is unquestioned The whole
people can read it without any feeling that
they are being lectured. Republicans can
read it without the surprise of finding that
the President is bigger than his party.
Politicians of all sorts can read it with no
illumination on their part as to his personal
views of the dangers of a second term

son is one Of the most comprehensive and
satisfactory of the utterances of its class 1t
touches on most of the subjects of broad
National concern, and it touches them in q
lucid vigorous and gratifying manner It
points out the benefits which have resulted
from the diversification of the countrys in
dustries which the tariff has made possible,
favors a more searching inquiry into the
character and disposition of immigrants,
condemns the efforts of corporations and
combines to violate the statutes in their
own interests, advocates q reform in our
election laws, outlines the interest which
the Nation has in the preservation of the
freedom of the ballot throughout our whole
domain, suggests an extension of the Civil
Service laws, and appeals for more gener-
Gus treatment for the veterans of the Union
and their widows and orphans.
The most interesting questions dealt with
by the inaugural were the surplus prob
lem, the attitude to be preserved toward
the South, and the foreign policy to be pur-
sued The President would have the rev.
enues reduced so that there will be no sur
plus after providing for the ordinary and
extraordinary demands for expenditures
which can be foreseen, but this reduction
he would have made in such a way that no
important protected industry should be in
jured. In speaking of the Southern ques-
ton he makes it plain that he is opposed to
any different treatment for one section of
the country than that which is accorded to
all other sections
