a Collection OF PiatItudes.
lChicaro News.1

In the collection Of weak p~latitudes
which constitute President Harrison's
annual message to Congress the Chief
Executive has succeeded in disappoint-
ing that portion Of the Republican
party which IS not welded TO discreditod
idols.
1t was hoped by many moderate and
progressive Republicans tina President
Harrison would at least take somc
cognizance OF the recent popular rebel
lion against high taxation. 1t was even
hoped by some that the President might
rise 10 the occasion with q manifestation
Of real craftsmanship by severing the
relations Of his party with its discrcd-
tied Bourbon leaders.
How has the President met these ex-
pcctatic. -?
by a sorry display OF tenacity "a the
very principles which the American
people. including hundreds Of thousands
Of progressive Republicans. have pro-
nourccd against in thunder tones. The
Presidents shutting apology for the
Mckinley law Is the weakest point in a
remarkably weak public document. His
adherence to Mr.. Blaine's reciprocity
policy. as embodied in the eleventh
hour amendment 70 the Mckinley law.
settles once for all the rumors OF a
split between the President and Mr..
Blaine.
IL Is now more clear than ever that
Secretary Blainc's policy OF reciprocity,
however reluctantly adopted. Is relied
upon by the Bourbon Republicans to
lessen the -auscousness OF the McKin-
ley law in actual operation. The Prcsi-
dent writes Of the reciprocity question
with tue uniamiliarity Of a tyro, but he
has at least made 1t clear that James
