THE INAUGURAL.

Those who took stock in the stories
told by the campaign orators respect
ing BENJAMIN HARRIsoN's brilliancy
and the strength of his intellectual
powers will be disappointed in his in
augural address. 1t is as prosaic and
commonplace as a state paper could
we'll be; and yet there is nothing i'll it
to invite censure, or even adverse criti-
cism. A good deal of space is devoted
to giving emphasis to the fact that he is
the centennial president, and the
length of time he dwelt upon this state
ment might suggest to the minds of
those who have given attention to
chronological stories that the bump of
self-esteem is pretty well developed on
the new presidents Uranium. AT any
rate there is a sort of compare
me th-WASHINGToN SuggeStivenesS
about it.
The question of greatest interest dis
cussed in the inaugural is the one relat-
ing to foreign affairs. The president
sounds no uncertain note as to the pol
icy he shall pursue with respect to
maintaining the MONROE doctrine.
While his language is not especially
elegant, or gilded with rhetorical -four
ish, it is plain enough for BISMARCK to
understand that this government will
hold firm grip on its coaling stations
in the Samoan islands. No sort of a
German protectorate can be established
there which will interfere with the pos
sessions of this government or deprive
it of the right to acquire additional pos
sessions by Legitimate methods. Neither
will France or any other nation be per-
mitted to build a canal OF ship railway

IOWA PROHIBITION.

BY a recent decision of the supreme
court of Iowa any sort of liquid contain
ing any amount of alcohol is prohibited
in that state. 1t was shown that the
liquor in question contained only 2.42
per cent of alcohol, not enough to pro-
duce intoxication; but the supreme
tribunal held that its ability to intoxi-
cate was not a matter for consideration
under the statute. If it contained alco-
hol. that was sufficient to condemn, for
the law regards alcohol as intoxicating.
The only proof needed was that there
was alcohol there, without regard to
quantity or effect. The reformers in
that state have still left one danger as a
pitfall for the weak. Alcohol is allowed
for certain mechanical and scientific
purposes; and the smell of the article,
it is said by reclaimed people who act
as temperance evangelists, is irresist-
ible where the intellectual forces are
entirely located in the stomach. There
should be deodorizing enactments or
devices to prevent certain pliable peO-
pie from smelling. The work is far
from done yet in that state.

FREE TEXTBOOKS.

The school authorities in Massachu-
sets have recently made somewhat
full and detailed presentation of the
operation of the free textbook plan in
the public schools, which has been on
trial there long enough to test the sys-
TEN pretty thoroughly. The results do
not give much countenance- to the OBJ
jections usually urged in opposition to
the plan. The interests that suffer are
found to be the financial development
of publishing monopolies. 1t is found
that only very trifing per cent of the
books are misused or lost, and that the
cost of the books is greatly reduced,
probably nearly one-half. One of the
chief advantages of the system is the
incentive it affords for the poor to send
their children to school. Many of them
had been kept away from school on ac-
count of the expense of books, which,
in cases of large families, was a serious
item. The same plan has been found
to operate well in Nebraska and other
states,

TIE CABINET.

Although not officially announced, the
new cabinet is no longer mystery.
1t is definitely known who will be in it,
and what positions the various mem
bers will occupy. The list of names to
be sent by the president to the senate
to-day Will be the same as published IN
yesterdays GLOBE.
After looking over the list the people
of the country will conclude that Presi-
dent HARRISON has genius for dis
cOyery, because there has never been q
cabinet constructed with such unfamil-
lar names. With the exception of
BLAINE and WINDOW there is not one
of the eight members who ever figured
in national politics. and even the resur-
rection of WINDOW from the tomb of
oblivion is one of the miracles of poll
tics. No one can say that it is a strong
cabinet, and yet it does not follow that
it may not prove to be a good one.
Sometimes men taken from obscurity
and placed in public station make the
most capable officials.
Mr.. BLAINE is well enough known,
and his smartness is questioned by no
one, yet he is not always looked upon
as safe man. Mr.. WINDOW is essen
TALLY the representative of Wall street
interests, and as such was selected for
a cabinet place The New York mem
Der, Judge TRACEY, in an eminent cor
poration lawyer, but wholly inexperi-
enced in public affairs. He is the friend
of LEVI p. MORTON, and that accounts
| for his being in the cabinet. EX-GovS.
RUsK, of Wisconsin, and PRoCToR, of
Vermont, are politicians of local repu-
| tatiOn, yet neither one is recognized
as man of any particular ability. So
far as the public knows, Mr.. WANA-
MAKERS qualifications for postmaster
general are that he is the proprietor of
big department store in Philadelphia,
is the superintendent of Sunday
school, deacon in the same church
| that Gen. HARRISON belongs to. and
had the fat fried out of him to furnish
money for the Republican campaign
last fall. Of the other two members of
the cabinet nothing is known beyond
the fact that MI. NOBLE was district
attorney down in Missouri, and Mr..
MILLER is an indianapolis lawyer in
good standing at his home bar.
1t is the presidents prerogative to
name the members of his official family,
and if he is satisfied with his cabinet
the rest of the country ought to try and
worry along.

TOO MANY GOVERNORS.
In West Virginia Goff and Carr
Are Sworn in, While Wilson
Still Holds the Fort,

CHARLESTON, W. Va, March A.
Promptly at noon to-day Gen. Goff,
the Republican candidate for gov
ernor and claimant to the office
took the oath in one of the rooms of the
state house set apart for the use of the
governor. About the same time, in an
other apartment, President Carr, of the
senate, also took upon himself the pro-
scribed oath. and was prepared to trans
act the business of the office, while,
Wilson, Who has filled the
position for the past four years, con-
tiRued in form, at least, to discharge his
accustomed duties. While in and
about the state house there was
gathered tremendous crowd of people,
about equally divided between the two
political parties. About 1880 o'clock
into the capitol and proceeded to
the private Office of Gov. Wilson, who
was also surrounded by number of
his friends. Gen. Golf mounted chair
and addressed the crowd which had as
sembled in the room. He claimed he
had received clear majority of the
votes cast, charged Speaker Woods of
the house of delegates with having
faNed in the performance of his constitu
tlonal duties III not declaring the result,
and said 81 am now ready in the pres
ence of these people of my state to kiss
the holy Bible, and commit myself to
the destiny that awaits me by virtue OF
the partiality of my fellow citizens"
The oath was then administered by
III. c. McWhorter, after which Gen.
Goff proceeded to Gov. Wilson's private
Office and demanded possession. Gov.
Wilson was surrounded by dense
mass of his friends and party leaders.
In reply to the demand he said he was
OF the opinion that the legislature, as a
coordinate department of the gov
ernment in joint assembly had eX.
elusive jurisdiction to ascertain and de.
clare the result of the election, and no
title could come from any other source.
He felt it his duty to continue in charge.
President Carr made similar demand
after taking the oath, and was similarly
refused, and thus matters stand.
St. Paul daily globe., 1889-03-05

on this continent which excludes Ameri-
can control. President HARRISON may
rest assured that he will be sustained in
this position by the American people,
without regard TO party affiliations. 1t
is somewhat singular, however, that he
should take the pains to give the French
and German people such direct slap in
the face for their interference, and yet
make no reference to our complications
with Great Britain. The omission may
possibly suggest to the minds of some
people that it was out of pure gratitude
to SAcKvILLE WEST the new president
refrained from giving the British lion's
tail little twist in his discussion of
foreign affairs.
If Gen. HARRISON is honest in his
opinions about civil service reform, that
part of the inaugural will fall heavily
on the ears of the officeseekers. We
give the president credit for sincerity
in this matter, but we question his abil-
ity to follow his convictions. The hun
cry horde will overpower him, and be-
fore two years have elapsed civil serv-
ice reform will only be memory with
the HARRISON administration.
The presidents views ON electoral re-
form are in accord with popular senti-
ment, and yet it is little singular that
he should have taken this occasion to
administer such a severe rebuke to his
friend Col. DUDLEY. 1t is gratifying
TO hear Gen. HARRISON affirm that he
will have no sectional policy, and we
only hope he will be able to stick to that
proposition.
Taken altogether, the promises made
by the incoming administration are fair
enough, and if carried forward to full
fillment the country will have no reason
to complain. 1t is but fair that SUI
ficient time and opportunity be given
the president to make his words good.
Still, we are of opinion that before his
term has expired Gen. HARRISON will
have deviated in many ways from the
line of policy he marked out yesterday.

A Canadian Statesman Wants to
Annex Portions of New England.


OTTAWA, ont, March. .4.-Mr. Mills, NJ.
P. Conservative, will introduce in few
days bill in the Dominion. parliament
which states: 'sThat union between
Canada and the United States appears
advisable, and that the subject is being
widely discussed throughout the do
minion by leading business men. That
it also seems that the experiment of
Republican government has proved
failure. and there are strong
of the federation known as the
United States Is iminent, and the
spread of anarchy or the building up OF
other foreign powers in the adjacent
states known as New England might
imperil British interests on this CONT
nent. That facts go to show that New
England since Severing connection with
the British crown has not made nearly
as great progress relatively as the prov
inces, and while their return
to their old allegiance would
not only materially an advance
the trade and promote the prosperity OF
the states, it would be probable bene
fit to the neighboring provinces. That

The Railway Age finds that five of
the great railway systems control in the
aggregate 36.3O7 miles of railway, about
one-fourth of the entire mileage of the
United States. Of the five the Union
Pacific has the smallest mileage, 1850
miles, and the Atchison s. Topeka the
largest, 1880 miles. The Chicago &
Northwestern is the only system in the
list that touches st. Paul. All of these
combinations are constantly absorbing

the roads for dividends upon their in
