00TERXOR /(LACK'S ADDRESS.
Whatever else Cnvernor Blick may lie. lie is
a masier of clear-cut thinking and of a class',.?
Knglish style. Nobody wbo read or listened to
his address yesterilny on taking tl..'ni' of
office could have failed to be impressed xvilh
that fgct. The ceremony in thc Assembly I'hani
ber xvas simple almost lo bareness, and Ibe inau?
gural address was brief almost to Abruptness,
yd so fliting io tlie occasion were the words
Ihat nothing further could be asked, even though
the ending lefl a scum- nf disappointment tba!
such well-inriicii sentences should be so few.
Thc speech wns not a declaration of policy, bnl
an indicaiioii of character, and. short as ll waa,
had a suggest (veness partly its own. partly due
to tlie expression and personality behind it. fur
tnna*feudlng its merely verbal attributes.
Good taatf characterised Mr. Black's em rance
on Ihe irovernorshlp. Mc is comparatively an
unknown man. whose powers ;ire yet to bc
proved, whose ship, as he* himself suggests, N
only started em ihe voyage, not yet returned to
port. Hut if lhere ls any trust to be put in word
?inti manner and in physiognomy, the "lime of
confidence" xviii .nm bf lacking in the shouts
that gris-i the journey's end. In spite of all Hie
Claims some men sre making tba! the course is
to be laid doxvn by them. The Governor evi?
dently has a laving sense of humor. Knowing
tha! he dill not know the problems of his office,
lu* did nm attempt to outline the solutions which
he had not reached, nor did he manufaeture
platitudes, review history, nor tligest statistics
from State reports. In his flve minutes' speech
xvilh all ihe linn simplicity which marks his
bearing, he strove to do nothing except to mirror
Hie spirit of the occasion .ind his own feelings
nn the assumption nf power. ' His words to
Bovernor Morton were admirably put, containing
the tribute of a younger lo an elder man. which,
while graceful anti even flattering, departed not
in atom from measured, self-respecting judg?
ment. His promises to the people bore the
?narks of unmistakable sincerity. Whatever his
future course may be, though he should give ihe
stale bad officials and sign bad laws, xve are
unvlnced that critics will not Jnatly charge him
ivllh faithlessness or weakness, even if they
?honld be compelled lo condemn him for stnb
lornly made mlsiakes.
If there is one Hiing more lhan another which
'overnor Mack seems to possess lt ls strength
if will. He xviii give careful consideration to
ill cii!;*ens. and submit all questions to his own
icrsonal judgment, and decide them with n
.ilise of personal responsibility. He himself
viii lu- Oox'ernor. No one shall boss him. He
viii cringe to no one; "for." he says, "I trust
'that no man believes the attitude of fear is
"worthy to play a part in the discharge of any
'public duty." And just In connection with
hat declaralion is Ihe one sentence In the ad
Iress which may nman good or evil according
s xvise llrmness or narrow stubbornness shall
t certain |>olnts dominate the Executive will:
\o Intolerant clamor or irresponsible assault
lill force or prevent a single Executive act."
?Crimps lt ls emly ihe talk of irresponsible busy
Odtefl xxhlch gix-es this remark a suspicion of
Igniflcance, but, novrlheless, the suspicion will
rise. Predictions of a few noioriously unfit
ppolntmentfl have been circulated xvith such an
ir eif confidence, and have so generally aroused
ipreaslon of surprised disapproval that the aa*
riciatioii is inevitable. Does Governor Black in
?nil io make these appointments, ami, if so, will
e regard tbe sentiment of ihe great body ol"
?spcctaiiic people wno do not hold tolerant
lews of lobbying and swindling as "intolerant
tumor*1 and "Irresponsible assault"? We bope
m. We shall not believe il. unless furcr-il tu
i the event On ihe contrary, we shall conti*
emly expect the Governor's fearlessness to be
lanlfested in harmony xvith honest feeling, and
i opposition to all Inproper claims. And even
mistakes are made, as. indeed, they must be.
e shall not lie unduly critical of an official
ho makes mistakes !h:H are his own. Much
tn be- pardoned, fm- much good can be done by
strong, fearless and independent spirit, ami
overnor Black gives gratifying indication of
uncasing sod) a character.

WHERE ARE THE ORATORS?
It xvas formally announced a few weeks ago by
ie enterpiinlng and hopeful statesmen who have
?sumed the task of electing Mr. William .bu?
ngs Bryan President in 1000 that the iirst step
tliat campaign w mid be taken Immediately
the organization of what xvas called a "Na?
ma! Bureau of Volunteer Speakers," xvith bend*
larters in Washington. Tbe purpose of Hum
?oceeding xvas io organize and maintain silver
nbs lu every county in the United States. This
as to he done by volunteer speakers, who pre?
datory to entering upon the work should be
laniiiied as to their fitness, and wno would be
;pected io make monthly reports <?f 'heir prog
ss to thc Washington beadquartere. "one of
e Incentlvee to active work," ii xvas said, would
? "a roll of honor" to in- made np of "winkers
hit'ving !hc best results." and n place upon
is, it xvas gravely ?tated, would be "'lie strong
si essential for prefermeni io a successful
?enioiT.'itic candidate for President in lOflO."
r. Bryan himself was to bc ihe "custodian of
e roll of honor." In a letter signifying his
ceptance of this delicate bm highly rcspon"
il*- position lu* expressed his mos! cordial Bo?
oval eif the plan nnd of tbe sentiment it em
died, ihat "ilie honors of vi,lory must he
bared by ihe soldiers as arel] is by ibe com*
landers." lt was thc Intention, seconding io
is Announcement, to have ...ooo K|>eakera in
:* Held within three months and "keep the en.
nsiasm going ii]] Election Day in I9ti0."

bow the schema is getting on. Ho far as xx..

However thal may be, xve take leave to My
thal the oratorical rourpetltion la nm "punning

silver clubs organised In as many counties, nnd
every one of them hard al it "keeping the en?

What's tbe matter, we Inquire, with tbe "Na?
tional Borean of Volunteer *peakern"i And
wileri- oh. where! arc all Ibe fiery orators who
hts! summer and fall were making Ihe welkin
ring with their unbridled eloquence? Has the
scheme fallen through sn soon? Is there no one

achieving the best results and gaining fl high
place ou iii" "roll of honor." which is "the strong

TWO BRITISH VIEWS.
"Til see ourselves as others see us" or as
others affect to see us might be a precious
gift. And it might cause strabismus. To exer
ckte ii aright, an Insectile eye of many facets
would be needed; if it wera Indeed worth while
to be an Insect for such sake. Nevertheless.
without sin-h equipment it is possible to see a
few of the American reflections upon the Euro?
pean retina, with some amusement, xviih per*
iaps to thone not gifted With serene philosophy
some Irritation, and xvith not a little satisfac?
tion and aelf-proflt.
Herc for example, is our ancient adversary,
The Saturday lteview." It has undergone
many changes Since it xvas so aptly dui-beti
"The Saturday Reviler," hut has not nlto
rether outgrown the fltneaa of that appellation.
Whether or not. like Poob*Bab. lt waa born

is well as at the major part of nil creation.
in forecasting tbe Administration of l'resi
lenl McKinley ii sees only vileness and eor
?uptlon, and hostility io Greai Brimin, and
o Justify ihat Jaundiced View it distorts past
?ecords and present facts willi a facility all its
rwn. During the late campaign, it informs its
?eaders. to cajole Gold Democrata Into giving
ilm their votes Mr. McKinley held his high tur?
fy predilections In abeyance, and posed as some
liing of a "tarin" reformer" In the free trade
ense. Hut as soon ns he xvas safely elected he
brew off the mask, and now proposes, by a
rec use of tbe "patronage bribe," lo rush
brough Cougrcsa a trust-dictated tariff bill
ii,,r,- extreme than that of lflOO. In oiher words,
he President fleet ls a bunco-steerer nnd corfl
lenco man. That is the picture eif him which
The Saturday Beview" drawa; absolutely and
rantonly false in every essential detail, as every
atelllgent Englishman must know. If any one
net xvas made dear from beginning to end of
lie campaign, by Mr. McKinley himself nnd
y every authoritative spokesman of tbe party,
was that the l'epublican party and Hs randi*
ale did not renoiine-e the principle of Protec
lon in the least degree, and that all xvho snp
orted Mr. McKinley must support him as an
ncompromialng Protectlonlat There xvas not
ne Democratic vote cast f,.r him under any de
inion ein that subject; ne.r, it may be added,
Des any Democrat who veiled for him noxv feel
iniadf betrayed, e.r fear the enactment of any
ICh prohibitive tariff law as that which "The
aturday Beview" has conjured up from the
rerhdited Imagination of Its anti-American
litor.
in grateful contrast to this is another view nf
mer , n nnd American affairs, presented In
neither and mot-,, representative and nutliorifa
ve medium ol' British thought The Editor of
I'he National Beview" xvas in Ibis country last
?ar. from Hu- middle of the campaign until the
