NOTHING IMPRESSIVE.
Ahe fresfdents Inaugural Address
Contained Nothing of Much
Weight.

The inaugural address of a presi-
dent who succeeds himself in the ex-
ecutlve office can never pique curiosity
or reward study like that of one who
enters the white house for the first
time, or who returns to it after an alb
sence of four years, as Mr.. Cleveland
did in 1898. This would be true of
any man who had been in Mr.. McKin-
ley's place during the past four years.
But it is peculiarly true of the present
incumbent that he could not say any,
thing at the beginning of a second
term which would strongly impress
the nation. The trouble is that four
years of experience has demonstrated
that words count for but little in his
case. 1t was William Mckinley who
told congress that it was "our plain
duty" to grant Porto Rico free trade.
and it was William Mckinley also
who, few weeks later, used all the
power and patronage of the executive
to force through congress a Porto
Rican tariff. After that performance
nothing that Mr.. Mckinley could say
would ever carry much weight with
country which had learned that the
important thing was what he would

Serious But Ridiculous.

There is a delicious ingenuousness
about the presidents inaugural ad-
dress which compels one to believe
that Mr.. Mckinley was serious when
he wrote it. Certainly no man with
a keen sense of the ridiculous could
have written it. AS for the Philip
pines, the president is as optimistic
and as benevolent as a rural evan
gelist. 'We are not waging war
against the inha bitants of the Philip
pines. A portion of them are waging
war against the United States" To
be sure. The lamb will muddy the
waters of our stream, and when he
persists in doing it we must benev-
olently assimilate him. If people
would only submit to us, there would
be no trouble. There never would
have been any trouble in the world if
people had had the grace and intelli-
gence to be submissive. If it had not
been for evil-disposed persons the
United States might be British col
ony to-day, and Mr.. Hay, for example,
instead of eking out a painful exist
ence in trying to give away the inter-
ests of the United States, might be
sitting in the house of lords with the
of Salisbury or in the COM
mons with Mr.. Chamberlain.-Detr

THE TRUST QUESTION.
Republican Method of Doing Away
with an Objectionable
Measure.

1t will be remembered that in Decem-
Der, 1899, Mr.. Mckinley suggested to
congress the advisability of giving the
people some relief on the trust ques-
ton. Just before congress adjourned
for the summer the republicans pre-
pared constitutional amendment
which they pretended to believe would
provide a remedy, but which, in fact
was intended to take away from the
states the power which they already
have to deal with this question. The
democrats voted against the amend
ment, AMI the republicans then brought
in an antitrust bill, which was support
ed by both the republicans and demo-
Gratis, and which was passed by an al
most unanimous vote. 1t went to the
senate, and there it lies buried. When
congress reassembled last December
no effort was made to resurrect this
bill. The election was over, the pur-
pose of the bill was accomplished and
the republican senator's were indiffer-
ent to it. If a tithe of the energy which
has been wasted on the subsidy bill had
been devoted to the antitrust bill it
would have passed the senate long ago.
Congressman Babcock has intro
duced measure abolishing duties on
certain iron and steel products, being
prompted to do so by the format tion of
the billion-dollar steel trust. The Kan
sas City platform contains the follow
ing plank: "The tariff laws should be
amended by putting the products of
trusts upon the free list, to prevent mo-
nopoly under the plea of protection
Mr.. Babcock is therefore carrying out
a plank of the democratic platform. and
the democrats will doubtless give him
all the assistance possible. But as the
republican platform did not commend
this remedy, and as the republican lead
ers do not favor any remedy at all, Mr..
Babcock is likely to find himself as un-
popular among his republican col
leagues as Mr.. Littlefield was when he
opposed the Porto Rican bill, or Mr..
Mccall was when he denounced the
army bill. The republican who does not
recognize the insincerity of republican
promises upon the trust question must
be blind indeed.-The Commoner.

President Mckinley reviewed the
inaugural parade from a magnificent
Court of Honor which stretched its
stately length along Pennsylvania
avenue in Washington for a distance
of several blocks, covering the front
of the United States treasury. the
white house, the state, war and navy
buildings.
1t was an imposing spectacle, this
great stage picture of the president
reviewing the impressive pageant or
ganized in his honor The written de-
scription of the march past the chief
executive of the nation reads like the
accounts of the surprisingly splendid
pomp that p.arlled the celebration of

There were colonial troops in the
American pageant as in the English,
typlfying the world-power of America
as OF Great Britain, indicating the

that has gone into the empire busi-

government of weaker peoples. For
the first time in American history
colonial dependencies were repre-
sented in the most characteristic GER
emony of American national life. The
colonial troops in the presidents in

THERE were pirate craft quarter
ing the Caribbean sea from the
Island of Trinidad to Havana, and
from Nassau to the Bay of Honduras.
They sailed up and down the Gulf of
Florida, and they hung about the Ba-
hama bank and the Yucatan and Wind
ward channels. Many a trader from
the American coast fell into their
hands, to be burned or sunk and the
crew sadly misused, and the dread of
the black flag lay heavy on the sailors
mind.
Of all the men who, trusting in luck,
went from the port of Salem to the
Florida cape, Noah Hutchins was per-
haps the most notable. IN his old but
ter-box of a brig. the Lucky Sally, he
sailed out of Salem for the West Indies
as clamly and serenely as he started
off for Sunday meeting when ashore.
On one occasion he would have been
captured by a rover but for the advent
of sudden squall; on another the
Lucky Sally owed her escape to a fog
and brought home three solid shot
fired into the hull; again a 'slong, low,
rakish craft flying the jolly Roger,
had come within range of her and was
about to open fire when an English
man-of-war hove in sight and sent the
red rover scurrying.
Capt. Noah had been a widower for
many years. For many years also he
had had an eye on the "Widder" Skin
ner; when he got through taking out
machinery and calicoes and bring ging
back rum and molasses he would ask
her to zine" with him. 1t was an
understood thing between them. Each
time that he sailed away the widow
admonished him to look out for black
flags, and each time he returned home
she thanked Heaven for his escape.
AS time went on he came to his last
voyage. The pirates were still doing
a brisk business at the old stand, but
the luck of the Lucky Sally would take
her through, and then he'd settle down
and have home for the remainder of
his days. On the night before the brig
was to sail Capt. Noah went up as usual
to call on the window.

POWER OF THE SUGAR TRUST.
CalamitOus Action Towards
Russia

In the resolution adopted by the Illi-
nois Manufacturers association con-
demning Secretary of the Treasury
Gage for imposing a coun tervailing
duty on Russian sugar there is a clear
statement of the cost of this action in
its bearing on American exports to
Russia.
The Illinois resolution declares that
the duty on Russian sugar is calculated
to sacrifice an American export bust
ness amounting to more than $50,
600. In contrast to this sacrifice at the
expense of American shippers it calls
attention to the fact that the total i'm
ports of sugar from Russia amounted
to but $4,000 in 1900.
Additional warrant for criticism of
Secretary Cages action is found in the
claim that Russia's syste m of encour-
aging her beet sugar industry by limit
ing the production and fixing the price
does not amount to the payment of a
bounty-the only contingency Justify
ing the American countervailing duty.
1t is declared that not one cent is paid
out from the Russian treasury to Rus.
sian sugar growers.
What is the secret of this govern
ment's haste to impose duty upon
Russian sugar, even at so great cost to
the general American export trade? Is
it found in the news announcement
that "the sugar monopolists of this
country have filled Secretary Cages
ear with their own special views, and
in their interests?" Has the sugar
trust been potent to dictate this ca
lamltous action, as it was potent to COM
pei a violation of the constitution by
the passage of the Porto Rican tariff
Dill! Thoughtful Americans will be
inclined to probe this matter to the bot
tom. 1t may be worth while to know
just how completely the Mckinley ad-
mlnlstration is dominated by thesugar
trust in matters affecting the trust mo-
nopoly.-St. Louis Republic.

loses her cud you can look for most
anything to happen"
What dye s'pose made her lose
it?" asked the captain after a SOL
emn silence.
Dunno, unless she got to pining."
''Pining for wkat?"
For change of scenery, maybe.
I've been thinking. This is to be your
last voyage, and the cow has lost
her cud. Being as this is your last
voyage I want you to be comfortabler
than usual. Being as the cow is pin
ing, s'posen you take her along and
give her change of scenery? Both
of you'll be the better for it,
Shed be in the way" replied the
captain, slowly, "but at the same
time there's the milk. Then she'd sort
o. remind me of you. If change of
scenery will brighten her up, I'll fetch
her back with her tail in the air."
1t happened, therefore, that when
the Lucky Sally spread her wings next
morning and sailed out of Salem at her
usual lively speed of six miles an hour.
the widows cow was on board.
Don't let her get hold of any onion
tops to taint her milk, and look out for
pirates" called the Widow Skinner as
the brig cast off.
'1ll remember, and don't you fall
down cellar nor git drowned in the els
term" replied the captain, and so they
parted.
1t is due to the pirates of that day,
who are no longer on hand to protect
their regulations. to say thatt kept
bright lookout for Capt. Noah Hutch
ms and his butter box, and it wasn't
their fault that the Lucky Sally
squeaked through for the dozenth
time and brought up in the port of
San Domingo. 1t is also due to the
record of the COW, who didn't outlive
the pirates many years, to say she
did her best to make Capt. Noah
"comfortabler."
Nothing happened for anyone to
fall over until the brig was headed
for home and was trying to bound
over the bounding pillows to the
westward of Caicos Bank. The sun
had just climbed out of his bed when
a sail was reported coming up astern.
The mate and the crew almost at
once declared her to be a pirate, but
Capt. Noah was in no hurry about
it. He ate his breakfast and smoked
his pipe, and then took long squint
at the stranger through his glass.
Her black flag had been thrown to
the breeze and was visible to the
naked eye before the captain care
fully put away his glass and calmly

Senator Hanna's parting speech, as
he was compelled to accept the de-
feat of his subsidy bill, was one of
modification rather than of pathos.
He parted with it in a manner in
which resentment was much in evil
dence. He did not deny that it was
his pet measure, but he complained
that justice had not been done to
his motives in advocating it. He re-
sented, he said, repeatedly, any
charge that he had favorites who
would be affected by the bill, or that
he had incurred any obligations
which its adoption into law was to
discharge. Mr.. Hanna did not con-
ceal in this final stage of the debate
that he had in mind considerably the
rebuff to himself implied in it's de-
feat, and was not little irritated
that it had been administered.-Bos
