The selection of Mr. Bliss of New York for the Interior Department brings the completed cabinet under review, and the sult is one upon which the country is to be cetigratulated. All sections and all in- teresis have been consulted and remem- bered, and the seats around the table will be filled by men of ability end experience. Mr. Sherman stands for the Old Guard of repeblicanism. His name is one of the best known in the history of the party, and is associated with some of its most conspicu- ous and heroic achievements. It is still a me to conjure with. Mr. Gage and Mr. Bliss stand for the reat business interests of all the country. The signal success of each in private life is assurance of an equal degree of success in public life. General Alger represents the old sokliers who fought for the preservation of the Union, and who still in large rumbers sup- port the party under whose administration of affai Union arms triumphed. Mr. Wilson is a farmer, and comes from the section where agriculture ts dominant. He is acquainted with both the aims and present distresses of the farming elemeut, and his coun: ought to be valuable to his chief in the weighing of all measures in which the farmers are interested. Gov. Long and Judge McKenna, the one from the Atlantic seaboard, and the other from the Pacific seaboard, are excellent representatives of their respective sections, and well equipped for the places to which they are assigned. Both have for some Years been national figures, and both com- mand the respect of their associates and the country, The South is recognized in Mr. Gary, upon the by the hess and proposition repeatedly laid down republican party that in the bu problem of that section lies a sure cure for much of the difficulty that has for so long sur: the political problem. . it has been held, would nuilify ffects of what is called bourbonism.

In various s they expressed their choice. Gradu- the movement took definite shape. people sent representatives to selected centers and there the great issues of the campaign were outlined and men were named to represent the opposing sides of ine controversy thus formulated. The ef- forts of cne body of citizens were con- centrated on the triumph of the man and the prirciples of their choice, and were opposed by efforts quite as energetic and sincere tending in the other direction. The fighting was brisk. It continued from mid- summer until the carly days of November, and then, when the legal time for testing public opinion arrived, the people ex- pressed their preferences. Their voices then indicated an overwhelming balance in fa- vor of William McKinley of Ohio. But they did not vote for him. They were pro- hibited by their constitution from ballot- ing for ary individual, so they delegated the power of ultimate tion to certain chosen representatives however, to the man named by their party in con vention. A few weeks ago those repr sentatives met at the capitals of their states and balloted for their candidates. As the nation knew would be the case, a ma- jority of these votes were cast for William McKinley of Ohio.

The Inaugural Address. President McKinley has answered the question which The Star asked last Satur- day by writing an inaugural address de- voted to a number of topic fining himself to the con paramount subject. His deliverance is hike » man—clear, explicit, forceful and frank. ‘There are no surprises in the address. But it cannot be said to deal only in generaii- ties. Naturally special emphasis is laid upon the fact that the government needs more revenue. Until that is secured other problems must be postponed. The Pres!- dent therefore indicates that a commission will be organized, composed of “promi- nent, well-informed citizens of different parties,” to take under consideration the revision of the coinage, banking and cur- rency laws. While that commisston ts at work he hopes Congress will pass a tariff law providing adequate revenue for the support of the government, and enabling it not only to meet {ts current expenses but to retire a part of the public debt. This constitutes his fiscal policy. It is just what might have been expected of a Pres- ident elected upon the platform adopted at St. Louis. In line also is the terance in favor of international bimet- allism, In obedience to “the command- tees rexeexOEUREEEEEESERES ing verdict of the people.” Other matters of grave importance come in for a share of attention. The new President declares in behalf of the people's antagonism to trusts, “to control arbitrarily the condition of trade among our citizens.” His words in reference to the need of additional im- migration laws have a pointed bearing in view of the recent veto of the latest bill on that subject by his predecessor, espe- cially through the use of the phrase “‘illit- eracy st be banished from the land.” Mr. c 's stand on the civil service law unequivocal. He speaks for the law in its best sense, “to secure the most efi- cient service of the best men who would accept appointment under the government, retaining faithful servants in office, but shielding none. under the authority of any rule or custom, who are inefficient, incom- petent or unworthy.” No more could be asked by the most ardent friends of civil service reform. The new President prom? ises his aid in the restoration of the Amer- jean merchant marine. His words in ex- planation of his foreign policy are partic- ularly important at this time. He declares against the undertaking of any war through yielding to the temptation of ter? ritorial aggression, but promises that his policy shall be “ever watchful of our na- tional honor and always insisting upon the enforcement of the lawful rights of Amer- ican citizens everywhere.” He speaks a good word for arbitration, and urges the ratification of the pending treaty as one of the highest duties resting upon the Sen- ate.
