TIE INAUGURAL ADDRESS BOTH
Praised AND CRITICISED.


Berlin's Official Organs Disappointed
Because the Samoan Matter Was
lures Mammon as Menacing the Re-
publc-W hitelaw Reid UnsJinted in
His Praise.
LONDON, March 5.-The Morning Post
says, concerning President Harrison's in
augural:
President Harrison's address is marked by
| commendable absence of bombast, and if this
| marks the future toe of his national policy,
another element in the concord of the world
| Will have been secured.
GOLD AS A MENACE.
| The Daily Aet0s says:
Gold had more decisive influence on the late
| election than on any that has gone before. The
| rlch on both sides virtually buy places in the
| administration by liberal donations to the
campaign funds. It is form OF pur-
| chase system which BODIES no good to
| the state. and shows that civil service reform
| must begin al the very apex OF the pyramid.
| President Harrisons inaugural address is re-
| 1uarkable for its numerous foreign illusions.
| The union may refuse to grow in territory, but
cannot refuse to grow in interests The crea-
| tion of a navy is evidently due to other consid-
erations than the necessity for rd icing the sur
| plus. The world may soon have to reckon with
| a new naval power. There are more disquIeting
| signs for those who care to find them in the
| curious interchange Of views on commercial
| union between Canada aad America than in the
| fisheries question.
THE STANDARDIZATION LAWS.
The Times doubts whether President
| Harrison's proposed new departure relative
! to the naturalization laws would be advan-
| tageous either for America or the rest of
| the world. Mr.. Blaine's foreign policy, it
says, appears prominently in the address.
| The general assertion regarding coaling
| stations aud harbors is pro ably intended
| to cover Samoa and the Canadian tisherl s.
In the department of finance the Times
thinks the Presidents vieS are not very
| clear.
NOTHING TO EXCITE ALARM.
The Daily Telegraph saws:
There is nothing at all in the address to excite
| alarm. The fact that President Harrison is so
well disposed todeal with foreign affairs in a
calm a d equitable spirit will be remarked with
| satisfaction by ev ry country in the Old world
| with hich America has friendly relations and
| occasional differences.
NOTHING TO ENLIST ENGLISH sYMPATHIEs.
The Chronicle says the addre will be
searched in vain for anything calcua ated to
enlist the sympathies of Eng.ishmen.
DECLARED DISAPPOINTING.
The Standard, commenting on the mes
sage, says;
The message on the whole is disappointing.
| Pre- ,ident Harrison was under special obliga-
| tion to strike a reSOunding chord Some of the
| phrases suggest Walt Whitman, but it is more
| reasonable to credit the prolific fancy of Mr..
! b aine with its full unalded inspiration 1t was
| certainly not written to please Anglo Saxons on
| this side of the Atlantic. Its form was not
adopted with view to our appreciation, still
| less its matter.
All the unionist dailies make points Of
| President Harrison's reference to law and
order as a lesson to England in the Irish
| question.
ABLE AND ATTRACTIVE.
NEW YORK, March 5.-The Journal of
| Commerce US:
The address will be regarded by people Of all
| classes as an unusually able and attractive one.
ELOQUENT AND ADMIRABLE.
The Tribune of to-day says of the in
augural address:
Eloquent and in every way admirable in tone,
| breathing the spirit Of genuine patriotism, ap
| pealing to the higher motives and better feelings
| of political opponents, 1t is in the only shape
worthy the sense, non-partisan, and seeks no
| shallow approval by any concealment or sacri-
! fee of conviction. In that respect it will re-
| mind the nation of the earnest appeal which
made President Lilcons first inaugural address
| powerful and memorable paper.
BERLIN PAPERS HOLDING BACK.
BERLIN, March 5.--Excepting the Tdqe-
! OtuIL dHu tOSSbtCH6 ZetGuNB buo pdpcES
| here reserve their opinions on President
| rlison's inaugural address.
The Tdgebidtt says that the address shows
| an arrogant spirit, and that 1t d PES not dis
play particularly friendly feelings toward
other powers.
The 'Vossiche Zeitung says:
| The friends of America hoped for a more
| friendly disposition from President Harrison
than from Pres dent Cleveland. The message
hardly strengthens that hope; referring to
| Ams ricsn claims and interests as IL necessarily
| supreme-a view other nations will not be in
| cned TO recognize.
| These criticisms arise from the ill-in-
formed expectation that the message would
| contain some deliverance on the Samoan
| DISPUTE which would Indicate the intention
of the new government 10 reverse Secretary
| Bayard's policy in a dire -tion that would
meet GermanY's desires.
BITTER UTTERANoEs LOOKED FOR
More balanced and better conceived utter
| ances ought to ap lear il the sem-OtH 'ial
press, which, though not likely TO comment
| upon the message in q spirit of admiration,
will not commit the mistake Of supposing
| that President Harrison ought to have made
| more explicit ,taJement regarding Samoa.
| In brief allusion, the POLitiScae NGchrtchten
| speaks OF President Harriso IS declarations
| as in every was calculated to inspire CO Il
dence in a speedy and successful settlement,
| the recall of Capt. Leary already indlcat-
| ing tlat another and healthier breez3 mas
begun to blow in Washington.
To-night's Post, alluding to the restored
| republican regime, assumes that ono II the
first steps OF the Secretary of S late will be
| to appoint delegates to the conference on
| Samoa in order that the question may be
settled without delay. The Post saws that
in any case NJ pister Pendleton will be one
of the American delegates.
COMMENTS OF THE PARIsIANs.
PARIS, March 5.-The empS, comment
ing on the inaugural address Of President
| Harrison, calls attention to the traditional
and systemat C abs stention of America from
a foreign policy, while proclaiming loudly
| the duty OF the cou try to protect her citi-
zens wherever established. The Temps sees
| in this new diplomatic system a logical out
| come of the Monroe doctrine, whic , it
says, President Harrison appears ready 10
energeticallv reaffirm.
The Liberte does Il see how the Monroe
doctrine applies in the case of the Panama
canal, as NJ p ,wer ever thought Of estab-
lishipg authority over the canal
The Figaro publishes only those passages
| of the address that refer to Eu opeau inter
vention in American affairs. These utter
ances, it says, prove that President Harri-
son is resolute partisan Of the Monroe
doctrine.
WHAT ITALY WANTS.
