President Harrison's administration be-
gins its career at time when great many
important questions are awaiting settlement
and upon 1t will devolve the responsibility
of settling them. 1t will have both branches
of Congress in political sympathy with
1t. so that its opportunities for the next two
years at least will be greater than have
fallen to the lot Of any administration for
many years. The most important questions
which President Harrison will have to deal
with are not new. Mr.. Cleveland's admin
istration attempted to solve them, bat failed
to do so in a way to meet the appreciation of
the American people. Perhaps as soon as
any the fishery question will claim the atten-
ton of the President. That negotiations
will soon be begun between the United
States and Great Britain looking to an ami
cable arrangement of this difficulty hardly
admits OF doubt. The present status cannot
continue without imperilling the friendly re-
latlons now existing between the two coun-
tries. That England is quite as anxious as we
that this matter should be speedily arranged is
evident enough from the expressions of
English statesmen and the English press,
But the basis OF the settlement must be
broader than that Of the rejected Bayard
treaty, to meet American approval Another
question which comes as a legacy from
Mr.. Cleveland's administration concerns our
rights In Samoa. Probably the Berlin con-
ference Will arrive at some satisfactory ar
rangement in regard to this matter. But it
VIII devolye upon President Harrison's adj
mlnistration to guide our representative at
that conference, and formulate the terms
that this government is willing to accept.
The Panama canal may. too, give rise to
complications with France which it will be
the province of President Harrison's admin
istration to settle. What the attitude of
President Harrison on all these questions
will be is clearly foreshadowed in his inau-
gural address. 1t will be one Of moderation,
but Of irmness, characterized by determin-
alton to maintain our rights In their en-
tirety.
OF domestic Questions that will be promi
nent in the early part Of the new administra-
tion, that of the surplus will be most con-
spicuous. This belongs rather to Congress
than to the Executive. yet its settlement
cannot be brought about without the Execu-
tiye's cooperation. Here, too, the President
has spoken In his inaugural address in no
uncertain voice. 1t is his opinion that all
the reduction needed can be secured with
out destroying or crlppling the protective pol
icy. There is loud demand, too, for legisla-
uCn mat snail keep out the paupers and
CRIMINALS dumped upon us from foreign |
lanus, mat this demand will be responded |
70 early In the career of President Harrison's |
administration is altogether probable, and
the response will be along the line laid down
in the Presidents inaugural.

Is at irsf Insignificant; we grow nervous restless

There are only two men in the new Cabi-
net of great national reputation-Secretar
Blaine and Secretary Window. The rest,
though by no means unknown, have not
been very conspicuous. Several of them
have hardly been known in politics at all
Mr. Wanamaker, who has been selected for
Postmaster General. is known all over the
country as a great dry goods merchant, but
his experience In political affairs has been
very small. Mr.. Miller, too, who is made
Attorney General, is little known outside OF
Indiana, and even there has not been con
spicuous in political matters. Mr. Noble is
very slightly known at the East Gen. Tracy
is chiefly known to the country as success
full lawyer, and Mr.. Proctor, though several
times Governor Of Vermont, has Of late years
been engaged chiefly in mercantile pursuits.
Gov. Rusk of Wisconsin commended himself
to the country by his vigorous suppression
of the Milwaukee riots. President Harrison
has drawn on the reserve fund, as it were, of
the Republican party to form his Cabinet,
and has not committed the mistake that
President Cleveland made of weakening the
strength of his party in the upper branch of
Congress by withdrawing some Of its ablest
members. 1t Is a very strong recommended
ton of the gentlemen whom the President
has chosen that where they are best known
they are held in the highest appreciation
Genefal Harrison selected them with great
care with view to a successful and har-
monious administration, and the future will
no doubt demonstrate the wisdom of his
choice.

The gentlemen of the legislature. who
awhile ago were so anxious lest the legisla-
ture should be extravagant. have apparently
turned right about face and are now arpro-
priating money right and left with great
recklessness $4,000 has been appropri-
ated for the insane asylum at Augusta, and
$4,000 for another asylum at Bangor. The
most of the last sum is to be spent apparent
ly in looking out spot for an asylum.
100000 or 100000 mole will be needed to
build it. These two appropriations are prob
ably but two links in chain which has
two more, namely, an appropriation of
$4,000 for hospital at Lewiston and $l35-,
900 for rebuilding the old State House.
This method of legislating calls for NO COM
ment. 1t speaks for itself. If the people of
Maine approve of it their moral sense is
much less acute than has been supposed

Just what to put into and what to

just what to put into and what to
leave out OF advertisements often puz-
zles those who have their composition
in hand. A notice often errs on the
side of saying too much. A person of.
average experience, on the other hand
frequently manifests the tendency of
being too brief. He assumes that the
public will take for granted certain
premises, or that it possesses a certain
ground work of knowledge that makes
it unnecessary for him to be very spc-
cific, Whoever succeeds in avoiding
both of these extremes, and combines
with other necessary qualifications the
ability to say just the right thing in the
right quantity, becomes a successful ad-
vertisement writer, Sometimes adver-
tisements are made effective, however,
by their frankness and manifest SINGER
ity, all other questions of the count.
Again, the very quaintress of express
sion, which crops out of the writing Of
q beginner at the business, gives a
charm to the composition which alone
causes it to be read.
