Agreement With Advisers.


1t was obvious that President Roosevelt
would start out in his office with the as
sistance of the same cabinet with which
President Mckinley had surrounded HIM
self. The machinery of government. there
fore will continue to move under the di-
rection of the officers who have managed IL
so ably and satisfactorily and prof1tably to
the country during the period of our great
est advancement and prosperity.
Nor is the continuance of the Mckinley
cabinet due to mere courteous regard for
routine and precedent. 1t is practical an
nouncement to the American people and
to the world that the policy and methods
of our assassinated President are to be
preserved and perpetuated in the Roosevelt
Administrations The relations of the new
President with the confidential advisers of
the old are not merely of formal sympathy
and agreement; they are peculiarly cordial
and are expressive of sentiment alto
gether harmonious with the spirit and pur
poses of the President he succeeds. The
hand at the helm is new, but the old course
is to be steered.

Gen. Greene's Comn Plate.
From the Savannah News.

The silver plate found upon the coffin of
the late General Nathaniel Greene in the
vault in the old Colonial cemetery, this city.
and which was taken north by Colonel Asa
Bird Gardiner for the purpose Of cleaning
for further Identification, has been returned
by the secretary Of the Rhode Island So
ciety Of the Cincinnati to the custody Of
the Historical Society. The announcement
previously made that chemical treatment
of the plate had shown, as was believed to
be the case. that the plate was from the
coffin of General Greene, is fully borne out
by the plate. now fully restored. though
badly worn. The inscription now stands
out very clearly, and reads as follows: ma
thaniel Greene, Obft June 10, 1856. AE A
years."
This completely establishes the claim to
the discovery of Gen. Greene's remains 1t
Is proposed to inciose the plate, which is
quite small, in glass case, for the pur-
pose Of exhibiting at the rooms of the His
torfcal Society. The question OF the fur
ther disposition Of Gen. Greene's remains
was incidentally referred to, but was not
discussed. 1t has been thought likely that
the Rhode Island societies might make a
demand for the removal Of the remains to
that state with view to the erection of q
monument there, but there has been no no.
tice Of anything Of this kind as yet At
present Gen. Greene's remains rest In the
vault of the Southern Bank.

Russian Paper Pesaimistic.

The Rossiya of ST. Petersburg says:
President Roosevelt Is a genuine fanatic
for imperialism and pan-Americanism. He
will retouch all President McKinley's ac-
complishments In foreign policy. With
President Roosevelt will begin an era Of
pan-Americanism.''
After quoting an inaccurate version of
President Roosevelt's last speech the Ros-

that the United States Is supreme through

making enemies Mr.. Roosevelt has been
long enough in public life to understand
this. And we have no doubt that he will
feel that his duty Is to his country and not
to his party or any faction of his party.
II there is any danger to which he Is pc
culiarly subject 1t Is that of thinking that
he can avoid friction and trouble. For men
OF his type of mind are always prone to
the temptation toward political conserv-
atism that Is not natural to them. Mr..
Roosevelt, for example, has been thought
-falsely-by many people to be a rash and
reckless man, and 50 one not to be trusted.
In the reaction from this mistaken opinion
about him he may go too far in the effort

Mr.. Roosevelt is a type. They do things
and do them right. There is never a ques-

Long in the Public Eye.
From, fha Phifadeinhfa prpSS

There is naturally much speculation as
to what kind of a President of the United
States Theodore Roosevelt will make. He
has been in the public eye for twenty years.
or since 1881 when a little over twenty
one years Of age he was elected to the New
York legislature 1t Is known that as a
member of the legislature, civil service
commissioner under President Harrison, as
police commissioner under Mayor Strong of
New York city, as assistant secretary of
the navy as soldier in the Spanish war
as governor OF New York state and as Vice
President he has always shown himself
equal to the demands of the position he
held This should be assurance enough Of
the capacity of the new President.

Country Feels No Fear.

Happily for the American people, no fear
for the country mingles itself with their
sorrow at :he death of the President under
circumstances 50 terrible The assassin
could not have chosen a time when his
deed would have produced more grief and
horror and less political and business dis
turbance.
Mr.. Roosevelt Is young President, but
ii is to be remembered that he Is a mature
man. Not many of any age have had so
varied a contact with life as he, and his
experience as politician has been extern
sive. Therefore he does not take office as
tyro. Naturally the minute acquaintance
with the nations affairs and the mellowed
wisdom of his predecessor are not to be
expected from him, but there is every rea-
son to think that he will be firm and
prudent executive.

We do not share with some papers the

Mr.. Mckinley. 1t is true that Mr.. Roose-
welt is an untried quantity in such posi-
ton. and he undoubtedly lacks the con-
servatism that dominated Mr. Mckinley
and caused the growth of public conf
dence in him. Nevertheless, If the tre-
mendous responsibility which is now plac-
ed on Mr. Rooseyelt's shoulders fails thor
oughly to sober him and make him eau
tious in every public act it will be the
first time in our history that this has not
occurred.

Theodore Roosevelt Man of Courage

YOUNGEST CHIEF MAGISTRATE
Well Equipped for the Duties of
His High Office.
A TYPO AL An RIG A n
Worthy of His Trust.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
President Roosevelt, in his relation to the
public stands in a different position from
chief magistrate elected to that partica-
lar post by the people. President Mckln-
ley's policy in the main was confirmed by
his second election, and to that policy the
majority of the people subscribed. Pres1-
dent Mckinley was free, subject to the
Constitution, the platform of his party and
the dictates of his own good conscience, TO
outline distinctive policy of his own. An
awful responsibility, a sacred trust the
destiny of nation-was in a measure COM
mitted to his careful guidance. The re-
sponsiblity in his case was great. but with
his successor 1t is greater. He was not
elected. but becomes President by the "act
of Cod Under the Constitution he Is
clothed with all the powers and privileges
possessed by his predecessor. but with re-
spect to the people he stands committed
to the policy followed by his late chief,
upon which the seal Of popular approval
had been Enthusiastically placed. From Pres
ident Roosevelt's earnest, admirable state
ment that he would continue absolutely
unbroken the policy of President Mckinley
for the peace and prosperity of our be-
loved country" it may be seen that he
recognizes all the duties and also the pro-
prieties of the situation. Itsis a happy
omen. and the public, which has trust and
faith in the rugger honesty and high
patriotism of the new President, has rea-
son to applaud his wise words.
