The Inaugural Address.

1t it evident from MIR. Clevelsnd's in
augural address that he fully appreciates
the responsibilities of his position. The
tone OF his address indicates that he feels
that there are public questions waiting set
Element that call for WISE and conscientious
craftsmanship and patience and forbearance
on the part Of the people.
lie makes it very clear what the policy of
his administration will be relative to i'm.
portaut matters that are now occupying
the public mind. AS far as the executive
tranch CT the government can it will exert
itself in behalf OF a sound currency, a re-
form OF the tariff and the extension of the
civil service regulations.
The address is brief, but it leaves no
room for doubt as to what she purposes of
the administration are They could not be
made palmer. There will be no sympathy
with efforts in behalf of the free coinage Of
silver not based upon an international agree
ment. There will be vigorous opposition to
bounties aud subsidies that burden the
thrift and labor of portion
of the people TO aid illeadvised and languish-
ing enterprises" and the spoils system will
receive no encouragement
Mr.. Cleveland reveals fully what he in
tends shall be the character OF his adj
mlnistration. The people know what to
expect. The address is as frank as any one
could wish aud it will make a favorable
impression.

The Mohammedsn From Missouri.

The Mohemmeden From Missouri.
"MohAmmed" Alexander Russell Webb.
Of Missouri and the Orient. is not likely TO
succeed Besant, the SUCCESSOR TO Blav-
atsky, as the theological fad. Mohammed
Webb is in this country, he says, for the pur-
pose Of educating the natives up 20 Moslem
ideas. Our people, he thinks have much to
learn. They are crude and gross in their
moral and religious conceptions, and mot in
it, with the Asiatics when subtlety OF theo-
logical thought is required. He proposes to
teach, not as a missionary of the ortho-
dox evangelical church would teach in
Asia, but through the medium OF newspa-
pers chiefly. He will establish paper of
his own to explain to all readers the "beau-
ties and subtleties Of Islsmism."
In a talk recently "Mohammedn grew en-
thusiastio over the Koran. and offered to
'eat the book" il, the question being left to
"any fairminded man." it was not decided
that the Koran was superior to the Bible as
an expositor of divine truths, as we'll as In
literary style. That kind Of argument
savors more of Missouri than OF Mecca but
inasmuch as the missionary is talking to a
coarse" people, he must be allowed to use
figures of speech that they can comprehend
The Koran teaches, so Mr.. Mohammed
Webb says, brotherhood, cleanliness,
equality and humanity" If that is true,
the Mohammedaus have been little affected
By the reading Of it, The characteristics
of the people of the faith, as English
speaking people, have been taught to be-
lieve, are eggressiveness, tyranny, filth
and cruelty. The Asiatic cholera, which
came so near invading this country last year,
was traced to its source in the city Of the
prophets tomb, whence it was scattered
broadcast by pilgrims. And the extreme
filth of Mecca, which empties its sewage
into the water supply, Is said to make chol-
era always present there.
Mr. Webb tries to explain away the
faiths connection with the polygamous
practices OF the Moslems. He says polyg-
amy is not tenet OF faith instituted by the
prophet, therefore the prophet is not respon-
sible for it. Neither did he prescribe the
Seolusion Of women. Both are eastern ideas
older than the prophet. But this explana-
ton hardly explains to the more crude
western mind.
II Mr.. Webb really hopes to do much
in the way Of forming "circles" and at
tracing believers in this country, he would
do well to leave details alone Let him
talk about astral bodies, mahatmas and other
esoteric tenets Of eastern faith, and he is
safe. But when he gets down to comparing
the literary styles Of the Bible aud the
Koran, and talking about poIygamy and
the theoretical cleanliness OF the Arab, the
American public will be ION tor him like a
thousand OF bricks.

Mr. Cleveland is President.

1 The fact that Mr. Cleveland is President
gives intense satisfaction throughout the
/ country. The people have confidence in
! his ability TO so administer the government
( that there will be no ground Tor reasonable
/ complaints, and they believe it ia his pur-
| pose to so administer il. They remember
his administration that ended four years
ago. It was an administration they ap-
proved It was clean, honest and able aud
1t iustides them in feeling that the inter
ests Of every class of people are safe in the
hands OF the administration that began
yesterday.
There is an impression that Mr.. Cleve-
and ls NOT gong to follow beaten paths.
De has already given evidence that heis not
in the selection Of his cabinet In making
Judge Gresham his premier he virtually
said he should not he bound by the wishes
Of machine politicians. In the selection Of
other cabinet officers be indicated clearly
his intention to administer the government
in accordance with what he conceives to be
his duty TO the people.
He will administer the government in &C
cordance with the principles Of the Demo-
cratic party because he believes those prin-
ciples promise the greatest good to the
people and the greatest prosperity TO the
country, but be will not permit his admin
istration TO sacrifice the public welfare in
any respect TO crafty machine politicians
or to encourage machine politics.
He will promote the interests Of his party
by policies which will have for their object
the highest good Of the whole people.
He is a broader and ADLER man than when
he became President eight years ago. Ex-
perience has ripened his Judgment, and
study has given him a clearer comprehen-
sion of social and political questions. He is,
therefore, better fitted to administer the
great office of President than he was in 1885.
There is no danger that he will bring
about division in his party as has been in
timated. He will be strong enough to fol-
low the lines he conceives to be the right
ones and yet have his partys support He
he's the good will OF the people, and 1t will be
so apparent that he aims only to do what Ia
for their good that he will have it through
out his term of Office, They are glad he is
President, and they will have no reason to
regret that they elected him.

Didn't KNOW Ahon.

A traveller entering the leading hotel in the
city named for the Jayhawker state found two
registers lying on the counter. says the St.
Louis Globe Democrat. He paused, pen in
hand, and with the question, (which oneT'
waited for the clerk to show him where to put

man with the diamond pin said:

The pilgrim, as he proceeded to do So asked:

had?n
"What?'' queried the clerk, with look ex-
pressive of more or less uncertainty, and in a
tone calculated co repress any attempt at jok-
ing.
Il say" the traveller replied, 'fs this the
book in which Abou Ben Adhem's name is writ
tenn"
Then light spread over the clerks face. and
while he turned the book arou d he said, with
the manner OF one who understood but was
thinking of something else:
well, really, don't know. You see we have
so many people coming here that l can't keep
track Of them"

Princess Kaiulenrs Visit.

Nov thas the Hawaiian princess, Kaiu-
lani, hiss arrived in this country and made
her protest against the annexation OF
Hawai- ID this country, the question is be-
Ing asked why she came. No one seems to
be able to answer that question. Even Mr..
Davies, who brought her here, doesn't want
to appear IN the position of her adviser.
Although Mr.. Davies may not be her adj
wiser, there Is hardly room for doubt that
he is controlling her movements, and is
guided in his action by influences that have
not yet been made known to the public.
These influences will become apparent
doubtless In the very near future.
The Hawaiian commissioners and the
representatives of the deposed queen who
are In Washington say that the coming Of
Kaiulanl has complicated the situation
greatly. Ir would have been better for her.
they say, and also for Hawaiian interests. il
she had remained at school in England, She
expected to receive a very warm welcome
from Hawaiisns in New York, and her ex-
pectations would have been realized in all
probability if she could assist in any way
in bringing about such settlement of
Hawaiian affairs as would be satisfactory
to them.
Mr.. Davies knows how to keep his own
counsel, but the impression is that he hopes
that the deposed queen will never be rein
stated, and that the Princess Kaiulani will
be made queen in her stead. Nobody but
MIR. Davies, however. seems to have any
such idea.
All the indications now are that il 1t
should be decided that Hawaii shall have her
| own government the deposed queen would
be restored, but the probabilities are that
| the monarchy is at an end, and that Hawaii
will become part of this country.
The Princess Kaiulani is only about II
years of age and wholly inexperienced in
worldly affairs but she is beginning to I'M
| derstand that she is being used for some
purpose or other. 1t seems she left Eng,
land without consulting her family, and
the rather cool reception accorded her in
New York makes her feel that perhaps she
made q mistake in leaving England. There
is nothing yet to indicate that she is going to
play an important part in Hawaiian affairs.

What a Pension Recordl

IL is doubtful if Gen. Harrison feels par
ticularly proud Of the pension record Of his
administration. The results of his pension
policy are a depleted treasury, an enormous
increase in the pension charge and an ad-
dition to the pension rolls of tens Of thou
sands Of names that should not be there.
When he was inaugurated the treasury
was Overlooking. There was an enormous
surplus Corpl. Tanner. Gen. Harrison's
first commissioner Of pensions, said, when
installed into office, God help the surplus
He distributed the surplus quickly by in
terpretaJiJns Of the pension laws that gave
millions Of dollars in pensions to those who
were not justly entitled to government aid.
Public sentiment drove Tanner from
office Mr.. Raum succeed him, but Raum
WIS not an improvement. He talked less,
but be pursued the reckless policy inaugu-
rated by Tanner, and apparently, with
Gen. Harrison's approval.
When Gen. Harrison became President
there we're 4S9,725 pensioners. and the
amount required annually for pensions was
$50, ISL, sos. On Jan. l last the number of
pensioners was 93l ,224, and the appropri
alton just made for pensions for the next
fiscal year is Sl65, 100000 That amount
will not be sufficient. 1t is openly stated
that there will be a deficiency of between
100000 and $50, 900. 600.
Mr. Harrison may say he ives liberal to
ex-union soldiers, but the people will never
forgive him for placing such a heavy PEN
sion burden upon them.
President Cleveland's administration will
strive to reduce the pension burden, but it
is question if it will succeed. But 1t can
keep the burden from increasing much, and
that it will do. 1t may even succeed in
striking the names of undeserving pen-
sioners from the rolls.
