To-day we ring out Tie old and ring
in the new. After thirty years the
years the people asked for ami have
got change" in the political affairs
vi the country. This radical change
of administrative forces goes into eff
feet today with the Inauguration of
President Cleveland, and the seating
OF his cabinet advisors.
OF President Cleveland little can be
said at this time There is probably no
other public man il this country SO
well known who is at the same time 81
little known, as Mr.. Clevellnd We
have had him III the same position once
before, bit his course then is no index
to what he is going to do now. He is
not man whose future may be judged
b. his past acts or life. The national
democratic convention constructed a
political platform for the enlighten-
mcnt OF the country, ana placed Mr..
Cleveland upon it. He waited until
the masses had forgotten about the
platform before he accepted the place
rendered him, and then in his letter of
acceptance he kicked the old Chicago
platform into the back yard and built
one to suit himself, independent of his
party, and this is the platform upon
which he stand today, if upon any.
Ills very first act after his election very
plainly shows that his party leaders,
even, have but speaking acquaint-
ance with him. Aside from Secre-
try Carlisle he has moi chosen a man
for a cabinet position who would have
been recommended by he democratic
national committee. President Cleye-
land is, therefore, an unknown quaint
ity, AMI it is useless to speculate on
tie policy or whm3 which may direct
his administration. Tine alone viii
reveal This.
Asto his cabinet selections we think
The following review Of them by the
able editor OF the milwaukee, Sentinel,
republican paper, is very fair and to
some extent Gathering:
There are four particularly good Sc
l2ctIonS IN ~. IieStia"a'S cabinet
badge Gresham Mr.. Carlisle, Nj, Her
bert ana Mr. Olncy. Three Of these
are well known Judge Gresham is by
tradition and long association repub-
bean. He was a Grant boomer and
WAS an advocate of what the prCcur-
sors Of the MUgWumps called 'C;usar
ism, or thlrd-termisln. He is noJ Il
great man, but ne is able, conservative
)maWhat in love with himself and al
together caP2ble of giving sound ad
wee 10 Nh. Cleveland. AS far as ne is
III fact the secretary of state, the Re
publ can policy OF unfolding the rights
and dignity OF the United States VIII
be followed.
Nh Carlisle is probably the ahlest
Democrat in The ami-wtll informed,
experienced iii public life, non partisan
in his personal relations, but holding
with affection and tenacity to the ira
dlt.0n5 Of his party, thoroughly honor
anle and hIgh-lHinded, and with a
striking presence.
Mr.. Herbert is Il South CarOlinian
by birth, served in the rebel army and
has for several terms held the chair
manshp OF the house committee on
Naval Affairs. He is in sympathy
with the policy that has been pursued !
by tie navy department, and he is a
FrGtcCti0nlst. In his report, Chairman !
Herbert atlirmS that under the pro
tectionist policy of developing naval i
Industries IN the United states, the |
cost Of completed Ship, including /
armor, has gone down SO per cent. He
even uses italics in his report to call
