City of Mexico. March 6.-For the first
time in the history of Mexican Journal
ism the American presidents inaugural
address waspublished the following morn

several columns of the Mexican Herald,
was everywhere complmentcd.
Mexican statesmen had the satisfaction
of reading the inaugural at the breakfast
table, and the general tone of comment
is very favorable to the good sense and
moderation of the new American preSi-
dent.
The Mexican Herald says:
president McKinley's message is a
strong document, well reasoned and log
zeal from the protectionist standpoint. 1t
was expected that the champion of protec-
ton would offer the familiar high tariff

remedy for all the industrial and financial
ills of the American people. The manly
and statesmanlike utterance of Mr.. Nc
Kinley on the pending question of the ar
btration treaty with England may be
taken as II rcbuke of the wrangling, pet
tyfogging senators. He shows no jeal-
ousy of the great achievement of Cleye-
land and Olney, but periodically takes
uD their task where they have been forced
to leave it. 1t is notable utterance
and shows Mckinley at his best. The
message is a credit to the heart and brain
of Mckinley"
