INAUGURAL ADDRESS
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
ABOUT 1T.
It Contains Not a False Note and Is
Commended Alike by Republicans
and Democrats-Even the British
Show Mild Approval

The inaugural address of President Nc
Kinley is document, the spirit of which
must commend it to every lover of his
country, no matter what he may think of
the policy therein outlined. There is
nothing boastful or exultant about it; in
stead, there is modesty and hope, cou-
pied with gratifying determination on
party policies that are well defined. Res
olutions are not always safe index of
performance; neither can an inaugural
address be accepted as a guarantee of
good deeds. But to begin right is some
thing.-Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch.

A Business Administration,

President Mckinley gives every guar
antee of a business administration that
an inaugural message can express. Like
his letter of acceptance of the Republican
nomination, his first communication as
President, addressed to the people, is re-
markable for its simplicity of statement
its wholesome and welcome freedom from
rhetorical pretense, and the strong air of
common sense that pervades it. What he
has to say the President says briefly and
pointedly, and without waste of words
in Introductory phraseology.-New York
Advertiser.

Secretary Sherman Is an American

There was no lodging and no trimming
in Senator Sherman's speech at the din
ner given him at Washington last night
by the Ohio congressional delegation. He
faced the Cuban situation more squarely
than his immediate predecessor has ever
done, and he announced his policy in
terms that will permit of no shuffling in
the future.
I'VE intend" he said, ''to protect our
citizens, whether they be on land or sea. :"
He expressed the opinion that the time
was not far distant when the whole west
ern hemisphere would be under repub-
lican form of government, and he said it
was our glory to build up among our fel-
low republics in North and South Amer

In message so general in its character.
there is much more significance in the
emphatic statement of generic principles
than in the old style of message, in which
the President enters into specific eNplana-
tions of his proposed course of action.
President Mckinley wisely avoids laying
before the public a detailed program at
this time, but he displays the chart and
compass by which he will endeavor to
steer the ship of state. This leaves him
freedom of action within certain well de-
fined lines, and the lines are so plainly
drawn that there is no danger of the craft
going astray or striking upon the rocks
while so cool and level-headed a pilot is
at the ehelm.-Minneapoli Tribune.

A Bus;ness.I;ke Docna,

President McKinley's message is a
straightforward, business-like document,
in which its author has clearly expressed
what he had to say, and has evidently tax
en- more pains to convince the reader that
he means what he says than to indulge in
hyperbole and other redundancy of phrase.

He Should Not Be Embarra.sed

The President of the United States can
not make good times nor bad times. He
has no power to enforce the carrying out
of his recommendations. But the whole
tone of the first presidential utterance
bespeaks sincere solicitude for the good
of the country. There ought to be no in
considerate or vicious opposition to the
policies which the Republican administra-
ton shall seek to carry into effect Hav-
Ing the responsibility of governing the
country, it should have fair opportunity
to govern unhindered by factious dissent
on the part of the minority.-Philadelph

Warm Words from the South.

So far as the new President shall stand
for those things which we believe TO be
right, and for the best interest of the
country, so far the Telegraph will endeav-
or to hold up his hands. So far as he
shall fail in these things so far will the
Telegraph oppose him, for the time has
come when there should be more of par
tisanship based upon patriotism than of
partisanship based upon spoils. There
was a time, not long ago, when it was
difficult, on account of a proscriptive pol
icy against the South, for Southern men
to manner-born to sustain any policy of a
Republican administrations but a speech
delivered by Maj. Mckinley to Confeder-
ate veterans of Virginia during the CAM
paign and utterances of his published to
the world few days after the election,
irrevocably commit him to a fair and lib
eral policy towards the South.-Macon

He Has the Good Wishes of All.

by the largest popular majority, except
one, ever cast for candidate for Presi

Revenue the First Thing Necessar,

By far the most hopeful sign on the
horizon of the new administration is the
assurance that President Mckinley gives
in his message that there is to be no i'm
mediate meddling by Congress with our
monetary system-no tinkering or cob
bling by Indifferent financial mechanics,
for the present at least. The new Presi-
dent declares that a necessity exists for
some revision of our fiscal laws, and he
expresses belief that system better
than the present one can be devised; but
now, he says, is not the proper time to
attempt it-New York Morning Adver-

Clear on the Currency Question
Nothing can be clearer than President
Mckinley's monetary views as expressed
in his inaugural address. He assures the
country that 'bimetallism will have early
and earnest attention." and it will be his
earnest endeavor ito secure it by co-ope-
ration with the other great commercial
powers of the worsd."-Brooklyn News.

His Currency Views Are Sound.

The views of the President on this i'm
portant subject are very sound, and it
remains to be seen if Congress will rise
to proper consideration of the situation
and respond to the Presidents earnest
presentation of the necessity for RENE
dial measures. He favors the creation by
Congress of monetary commission, COM
posed of prominent, well-informed citi-
zens of different parties, who will COM
mand public confidence, both ON account
of their ability and special fitness for the
work.-New Orleans Picayune Dem)

Breathes Sturdy Patriotism.

President McKinley's inaugural ad-
dress is worthy of the man. Every SEN
tence breathes of robust Americanism,
sturdy patriotism and unfaltering deter
mination to do the right thing no matter
what may happen. There is no talk of
war, no hint of revolution, indeed, no non
sense in it anywhere.
Briefly epitomized, President McKin-
ley favors monetary commission COM
posed of both parties that shall give a
careful and dispassionate examination of
the currency system. His idea, as he says
himself, is that while ''our money is all
good now, it's value must not further be
threatened" Its basis must be enduring.
President Mckinley stands resolutely
by that portion of the platform which de-
cIares in favor of international bimetal-
lism. He yields not one inch in declaring
that it shall be his endeavor to secure it
by cooperation with the other great COM
mercial powers of the world. And again
in this he will have the support of the
people.-New York Commercal-Adver-

Tho Hansas Comlnissioner OF Insurance to
Tackle tho Mutual I.ifo Inautauoo
Company In tho United States
Supreme Court.
From the Houston Post. !

A case has just arisen in Kansas,
the result Of which will be- watched
with more than ordinary interest
1t involves the oft ,mooted question
of State rights, and, Judging from
the dispatch in yesterdays Post, the
issue is 80 narrowed down and the
points are so clear and direct, that
there will be no difficulty whatever
in determining by law the merits of
the controversy.
The record reads: The Mutual Life
Insurance company, Of New York,
applied for q license to do business
in Kansas, and through it's agent,
John Lord, tondorod the requisite
fee. The Kansas commissioner of
insu: ance, Webb NcNall, refused to
issue the one or accept tho other.
Upon this hypothesis proceedings
were instituted against the commits
sioner in tho Federal Court, at
Wichita, and ruling made therein
directing him to issue tho necessary
license. This, Mr.. McNall declines
to do, and thus tho issue between
Federal authority and State rights is
made complete. Mr.. McNall OK
poets to be called FOR "contempt Of
Court" but he is prepared for tho
emergency. His purpose is to tost
in the Court OF last resort the right
OF Federal Judge tr interfere in
the execution Of tho laws Of BOY
ereign State, and in the event of his
arrest he will suo out writ OF habeas
corpus in the Supreme Court Of the
United States. This will bring the
question to n focus and settle once
for all the relative authority Of the
| contestants.
Meanwhile, it may fairly bo asked,
what right has Federal Judge to
dictate to any State tho corporations
it must licenso? That is tho peuu-
liar business and special privilege of
tho Commonwealth itself. No Judi
cial power in the land can forco the
State Of Texas to issue q liconse to
an Objectionable corporation if it secs
fat to refuse, and this rule, it soema
to us, IS everywhere recognized.

A MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY.
jose Ventre. tho Anarchist, not Allowed to
Remain whore ho 10 or GO Anywhore
else.
(From tho Chicago News. }

\rrOm tho CnlcaBO NeWs.)
1t is queer state of affairs when
a man il not allowed to remain where
he is nor 60 anywhere else. Yet it
is in such plight that Jose Ventre
finds himself stranded, homeless and
nowhereless, in Mexico.
Jose Ventre was subjected Of CON-
plicity in the famous Barcelona ex-
plosion. There was no other proof
against him than that he was an An
archist and consorted with the Anar-
chists who were found guilty OF and
executed for the the Barcelona trsg-
oily. He escaped from Spain to
Mexico, whore his identity was dis
covered. Having no specific charge
against him the officials could not
put to death nor imprison Ventre.
But they didn't want him around, 80
they banislled him from Mexico.
But the captain OF tho French
steamer refused to take him as pas.
senger, France having enough Anar.
ohists without importing another
one. So Vcntre sct his thoughts on
the United States, but had to change
thom when he was informed that
Commissioner of Immigration Pow
derly would not permit him to land
i'll this country. He would 60 to
Spain. but is afraid, and England 10
ready to reject him if he comes
there.
Now what is Jose Ventre to dor
He can't stay where ho is, and he
can't 90 anywhere else.
The original "man without ooun-
try" was in easy circumstances in
comparison. Being an Anarchist
Vontro has got to live where thore is
government in order to be against
it. And there is no place on earth
inhabited by man that is without
government Of somc form. II there
were, and Ventre could got to it,
ho would be less happy than he
is now, because he conldn't stand
around and RAIL against the terrible
oppression Of tho masses. For how
could there be any oppressed mas,
ses without an opprossing govern.
mcntY Moreover, where there are
no massos there is no beer, and with
out beer an Anarchist can't see u
government expressing the masses
We frankly confess onr inability
to help Jose Ventre out of his
strange and unparalleled dilemma
When on globe $4,000 milos in
circumference and Inhabited by
1900, 100000 human beings ono
lone man is forbidden to stay where
he is and il not allowed to depart
elsewhere it is time for some "ad-
vanced acientist" to point the way
out. The chances arc that oven
death would object to receiving a
Spanish Anarchist.
