tin xraad, however, was free to the people, ad there they began to gather long before the hoar set for the inauguration. Positions on tha steps of the capital were at a premium, as were also the places immediately in front of the grand stand. Long before noon the great plat was filled with men and women, while in the park adjoining batteries were in position to boom the annoencement of 'the fact that the new 1 'resident had taken the oath of office. Still beyond npon the street and avenues leading to the capital the " military began to group ready to fall into position .fat the grand procession which was to escort the new President from the capitol to the White House. A large share of the companies irete formed into processiTTO earlier in the day and marched to the capitol .grounds, the divisions then being assigned to their positions in such manner that they might take (ttoir places in tha grand procession after the oath' was administered. The thousands cf seats which have been erected along the avenue were filled with waiting people who preferred occupying thetn. to make sure of swing the procession rather than take their chances at the front of the capitol and run the risk of failmg to got back to their seats to see the procession pass. MORTON INAUGURATED. The Oath of oatee Administered to the s Ttea President. The ceremonies of inauguration began with the organization of the Benata, At 10 a. m. the Senate and House had named the usual joint committee of notification of the President of the readiness of the two booms of Congress to adjourn. The joint committee baying been communicated with President Cleveland conveyed his answer to their respective houses that be had no further communications to make.

The VicjPresident-elect,havin advanced to the Iesident'u dais, there took the oath preutined by law, after which he was conto a seat at the right of the Prasipent of the Senate. That retiring offioor rising, pronounced his valedictory, at the 'i ' conclusion of which, the great clock of the Senate pointing at the moment of meridian, he declared theSenate adjourned without day. The new President of the Senate the instant his predecessor retired from his seat took the chair. The retirir.g President delivered to him the ivory gavel, the insignia of the authority of the body over which he presides. The Vice-f resident of the United States and the president of the Senate, Mr. Morton, tStit a few introductory remarks, proclaimed the Senate in session by virtue of the proclamation of the President, which the Secretary of the Senate read. The newly elected Senators whose credentials were on die were called forward in I alphabetical order in groups of four by tho Secretary and. the oaths of office administered.

the three central figures of the occasion, the retiring President, the President-elect, and the Vice-President elect, remained until the hour sot for the great , event of the day.' The newTy-eleoted President, who had been escorted from his temporary residence at iibe Arlington hotel by the retiring Kits. HAJtKISQir. President and the committee of arrangements and attendant body of soldiers, entered the Senate chamber, accompanied by his predecessor and the committee, and was shown to a seat in front of the secretary's desk, the ex-Presidont and membeis of the committee sitting on his right. Tbe Vico-Presidont then announced fi-om the chair: "The sergeant-at-arms will now execute the order of the Ssnate relating' to the inaugural ceremonies of tho President of the United States." The persons in the Senate chamber then proceeded to the platform on the eastern portico of the capitol in the following order: V Marshal of tbe District of Colombia and Marshal of the Supreme court of the United States, ex-President Hayes, ex-Vice-President Hamlin, the Supreme court of the United States led by Chief - Justice Fuller, the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, the committee of arrangement the President and President-elect, the Vice-President and the Secretary of State, the members of the Sniate, the diplomatic corps, the heads of executive departments, the members ot the House of representatives and Represent-; tives-elect, Governors and ex-Governors of States and others admitted to the ficon" Upon reselling the platform on thjs eastern portico the President-elect, Chjfel Justice and committee of arrangemehts occupied seats on a raised dais. It' iras still raining and tho party had touse umbrellas. The others of the distinguished parties present in the Senafc-foccupied seats in the vicinity, Beforeythe stand were thousands ot people, filJAhg the spacious plasa east of tbe capjtioT and the escorting soldiery massedin the rear, the saluting battery in tWpark and the participating aoldieryaaa civio bodies formed in positions ergmg upon fne plasa ready to swing into column when the procersion moved trom the capitol to toe reviewing stand ot the President in front of thu Executive Mansion. The President, as soon as the arrangements on the platform were completed, turned facing the Cldef Justice, in the presence of the people; the clerk of the Supreme court advancing between held an open Bible, tbe President resting the palm of his right hand upon the opon page and repeating after tho Chief Justice the oath prescribed by the constitution. Having finished the new President leaned Over and kissed tho sacred book as a symbol of acknowledgment of his great trust in behalf of the people and their institutions. Chief Justice Fuller then extended his hand in greeting, the Vice-President advanced and extended the same form of Min. HORTCW. salutation on behalf of the legislative coordmata branch of the government. The moment the President placed his lips upon the Bible in response to a given signal the batteries in the pork fired a national salute and tbe troops presented arms. Then tho President delivered his address The Senate returned to its chamber and formally adjourned for tho day. The committee on arrangements having charge of the President escorted him to the state carriage, drawn by four horses, awaiting him at tbe Senate entrance. The President took a position near the head of the column, passing dqam Pennsylvania avenue to the -White uoflse, where he reviewed the great procession from the) stand erected for the purpose in company with a large number of prominent officials of the States aud nation and the diplomatic corps.

INAUGURAL ADDEESS.

OEN. HARRISON'S FIRST FORWAI. ADDRESS TO THIS COUNTRY.' He Thinks that the Naturalisation Iws Are Not Stringent Enough Civil- Service Reform Will Be Enforced View on Other Important Suldectj. Washington, March 4 Following is the inaugural address delivered by GenHarrison: "There it no constitutional or legal requirement that the President shall uka bis oath of office in the lirosence of tbe people, bat there is so much ai p oiiriatonesi la the induction to office of tho Chief Executive officer ot the nation that from the beginning of the Government the people, to whoso service the official oath conaoorates the oflleer, have bseneaUed to ritiioas tho solemn ceremonial. "An oath taken in the presence of tbo peopla becomes a mntnal covenant. The officer covenants to serve the whole bouy of the peop'e by a laithful exe-ution ot tho laws, so ttaat tney mar be the nnf allinx defense and security of those who respect aud obserre them, and that neither wealth, stntion, nor power of combinations shall be solo to evade thoir penalties or to wrest them from a beneficent pnblio purpose to serve tne ends of cruelty or srluahnes. "My promise is spoken ; yours unspoken, but not less real and solemn. The people of every State havo hero theirjrepresentatives, Bnroly I do not misinterpret tbe spirit of the occasion when 1 assume hat the whole body of tbe people covenant with me and with each other to-day to support and defend tbe Constitution and the union ot States, to yield willing obedience to oft laws, and enoh to every other citizen his eqtil civil and political rights. Kntering thus solemnly into covenant with each other, we may reverently Invoke and confidently expect the favor and help ot Almighty Oo4, that Us will give to me wisdom, strength and fidelity, ana to our MuuiDBOTC nxaaisox. people a spirit ot fraternity and a love of rigltteonaness and peace. "This occasion derives peculiar interest from the fact that tne Presidential term.wbicn begins this day, is the twenty-sixth under our Constitution. "The first inangnration of president Washington took place in New York, where Congress was then sitting, on tbe Ah day ot April, 17W9. having been defeed by reason of delay attending the organization ot Congress and the canvass of the electoral vote. Our people have already worthily observed tin centennials of the Declaration of Independence, of the battle of Yorktown, and of tho adoption of the Constitution, nnd will shortly celebrate in New York the Institution of the second great department of onr eoustitntionol scheme of government. When tbe centennial of tho institution of the judicial department, by the organization of the Supreme Court, shall bars lieen suitably observed, as I trust it will be, our nation will have fully entend its second century. The Nation's Glory. "I will not attempt to notethe marvelous aud. in great part, happy contrasts between oar country as it steps over the threshold into its second century of organized existence nnder tha Constitution, and that weak but wisely ordered young nation that looked undauntedly down the first century, when all Us year stretched out before It 'Our people will not fail at this time to recall the incidents whloh accompanied the institution of govcrnniout under tho Constitution, or to find inspiration end guidance in the teachings and exitutple of Washington and his great associates and hope and courage in the contrast which tblrty-a clat popnlouB end prosperous Stntes offer to tltetbirtetn States, weak in everything except courage and love of liberty, that then fringed our Atlantic seaboard The Territory of Dakota has now a population greater thnn any of tho original Stales except Virginia), and greater than tbo aggregate 01 five of the smaller States In 1790. Tbe center of population, when onr national capital was located, was east of Baltimore, and it was argued by wellinformed persons that it would move eastward rather than westward. Yet in 1880 ii was fonnd to be near Cincinnati, and the now census about to be takeu will show another stride to the westward. That which was the body bos come to be only tho rich fringe of tho nation's robe. lint our growth bas not been limits! to territory, population, and aggregate woeltb, marvelous as it has been in each of those directions. Tbe masses of onr people are better fed, clo.bed, and bonssd than their fathers were. The facilities for popular education buvo been vastly enlarged and more generally diffused. The virtues of courage and patriotism have given recent proof of their oootinued presence aud increasing power lit the hearts and over tho lices ot our psoplo. The influences ot religion have been luul lulled and strengthened. The sweet offices ot charity have greatly Increased. Tbe virtuo of temperance Is held in higher estimation. We httvo not attained on id. al condition. Not all of our people are happy and prosperuas ; not all of them ore Urtuous and iaw-abldin But, on the whole, tbe opportunities offered to EX-FJIE8IDENT CUtVeLAKD, the individual to secure the comforts of lilo are better than are found elsewhere, and largely better than tut y wi re 100 years ago. "The surrender of a large measure of sovereignty to the Uuueral Government, effected by thead.-ptinn of the Constitution, was not accomplished until suggestions of reason were strongly ro-euforeed by tbe more imperative voice of experience. The divergent interests of peaco spoedily demanded a 'more perfect uaiou.' The merchant, shipmaster, and manufacturer discovered and disclosed to o. r statesmon and to tbe people that commercial emancipation must be added to tbo polIlUal freedom w Uich had been bo bravely won. Tho commerolal policy ot the niotber country bad not relaxed any of its hard and oppressive features. To hold in oueck the development of onr commsroial- murine, to prevent or rot aril tbe establishment a ad growtb ot nuinafoturs in States, and so to Secure an American market for their shops and a carrying trade for thoir sups, was the policy of iSuropcan statesmen, and was purgued with most selfish vigor. Petitions pouroa in upon Congees urging tho imposition of discriminating duties that should eueoursgo tbe production of needed tnings at homo. The putriothm of tho people, which no longer found a field of existence in war, was euorteticady directed to tbe duty of eaulpplug tbe young republic for the doteuse of its indapoudenco by making tbe peoplo solf-dtipond-cnt.

Men who have felt U'e benefit of tbeir neighborhood, and men who work in shop or field will not fail to And and t defend a community of interest. 1 it not quit a possible that fanners and the promoters of great turning and manufacturing enterprises vrnioU have reoently been established in tbe South may yet find that a free ballot of tbo wnrkingmen, without d'stinetion of race. Is needed for tbeir defense sa well as their own? " 1 do no i doubt that it t hose men in the South who now accept the tariff views of Cloy and tbe constitutional exposition of Webster would courageoudy avow and defend their real convictions they would not find it difficult, by frleud'y instruction and co-operation, to make the black man tlieir eniaiFnt and safe ally, not only in eitablishjaig' 'correot principles In our national adrnB'stration, but in preserving for their local isoinmunities the benefits ot social order and economical and honest government. At lorf, until the good offices of kindness aud education have Men fairly tried, a cohtrai'y conclusion cannot b- plausibly urged. I have altogether rejected any suggestions of a special executive policy for any section of ou r country. 1 1 is the duty of the executive to adiitulttt .t and enforce, In methods and by instrumentalities pointed out and provided by tbe Constitution, alljaws enacted by Con-ffress.-These laws aro general, and tbeir administration should be uniform and equal. A citizen may not elect which he will enforce. The duty to obey and to etocute embraces the Constitution in its entirety and the whole cod of law enacted under it. Vown on Monopolies, "The evil example of permitting Individuals, iforporatlons, or cc niniututlcs to nullify tha law because they cross some selfish or local interests or prejudices is full of danger, not only to the nation at large, but much mors to these who use this pernicious upedient to escape tbeir just obligations or to obtain an unjast advantage over others. They will presently themselves be compelled to appeal to tne law for protection, and those who would use the law as a defense must not deny that nse of it to others. If our great corporation would more scrupulously observe tbeir legal limitation and duress they would have less cause to complain of their rights or of violent interference with their operations. The community that by concert, open or secret, among its citizens denies to euy portion of its members their plain rights under the law bas severed tbe only safe bond of social order and prosperity. Tne evil works, from a bad center, both ways. It demoralizes those who practice it and destroys the faith of those who unflor in it in the efneiensy of law a a safe proteotor. The man in whose breast that faith has been darkened is naturally a subjeot of dangerous end uncanny suggestions. Those who use unlawful methods, if moved by no higher motive than the selfishness that prompted - them, may well stop and inquire what Is to be the end of this. An unlawful expedient cannot become a permanent oonditlon of government. It tbe educated and influential classes in the community either practice or connive at a systematic violation of the laws that seem to tbem to cross tbeir convenience, what can they expect when tb lesson that the convenience or supposed ela s Interest Is a sufficient cause for lawlessness bus been well learn sd by tbe ignorant classes ? Tbe community wbore the law is the rale of conduct, and where courts, not mobs, execute its penalties, is the only attractive field for business investments and honest labor. The Naturalization laws, "Onr naturalization laws should be so amended as to make inquiry into the character and good disposition 01 persons applying for citizenship more careful and searching, our existing laws have been mode In their administration iu an unimpressive and often unintelligible form.

"We have happily maintained the policy of avold.ng all hueriereuoe with European all airs. We have been only interested spectators of tueir eonteutlons in diplomacy and m war, ready to use our irienuly offices to promote poaoe, bat never obtruding our advioe and never attempting unfairly to coin the distresses of otoer powers into commercial advantage to oarselves. We have a just right to expect that our European policy will be the American policy of Kumpoau courts. It i so manifestly 'incompatible wi.h these precautions for our peace and safety whloh oil tue groat powers habitually observo and enforce in matters affecting them mat a shorter waterway between our Eastern and Western seaboards should be dominated by any 1 nroiHian govt rmncnt, that we nutyconudently expect tbtCt such purpose will not be entertained bv any friendly power. "We shall in tbe future, as in the past, use every endeavor to mountain and enlarge our friendly relations with oil the great powers, but they will not expect us to look kindly upon any project that would leave us subjeot to tbe dangers ot hostile observation or environment. We have not sou bt to dominate or to absorb any of our weaker neighbors, but rather to aid aud en. courage tbeai to establish tree and stable governments, resting upon the eomuutot tlielrown people. "Wo have clear right to expect, therefore, that no European government will seek to establish colonial dependencies upon tbe territory of Uuse indopeudi-ut Anieriaan Ktates. That which a teuse ot justioj restrains us from Booking tbey muv bo rousonubly oipectel to be willing to forego. It must not be assumed, however, tbat ourin.eres.sam so exclusively American that our entire inattention to any events that may transpire elsewhere can bo taken for granted. Our .t .zt ua, domiciled for the purpose of trade in all countries and on way of the islands of the sea, demand and wi 1 have our adequate use in tbeir personal and ccmniercisl rights. The necessities ot onr navy require convenient (Oaling stations and dock and harbor privileges'. Theso aud other trading privileges we will feel free to obtain only by means that do not in any degree partake of coercion, however feeble the government irom whioh we ask such concession; but, bavijg fairly obtained tbem by methods and tor purposes entirely consistent with the mast friendly disposition toward all other powers our consent will be necessary to any modification or impairment of concession. We snail neither fail to respect tbe flag of any friendly nation or tbe just rights of its citizens, nor to exact a like iroatuiont for our own. tralmness, justice, and conside-utinu should characterize our diplomacy. Tho offices of en Intelligent or of a friendly arbitration iu proper cases should be adequate to a peaceful adjustment of all international difficulties. Dy sucb methods we will make our contribution to the world's peace, which no nation values more highly, and avoid the opprobrium which must fall upon a nation that ruthlessly breaks It. Presidential Appointments. Tbe duty devolved by law upon the President to uominate, and by and with the advice and consent of tbe Senate te appoint alt public officers whose appointment i not othtrwise providtd ' for in tbe Constitution or by act of Cnngres bos become very burdensomo and iti wise and efficient discbarge full of diffioulty. The civil list is so large that) a personal knowiege of any large number of applicants is ltnposaible. The President must rely upon tuu representations of others, and these are often made inconsidtrately and without any just sense or responsibility. 1 have a right, I liitok, to insist tbat those who volunteer or are iuvited to give advioe as u appointments shall exercise consideration aud fidelity. A high sense of duty and an ambition to improve the service should characterize all public officers. "There are many way in whlon toe convenience and comfort of those who have bnsiuess with our public officer may be promoted by tboucbtful and obliging officers, and I shall expm t : hose whom 1 may appoint to justify thoir selection by conspicuous efficiency in tne discharge ot their duties. Honorable partv service will certainly not be esteemed by ma a disqualification for public office, but it will in no case be a lowed to serve as a shield for official negligence, iuoompeten. cy, or delinquency. It is entirely creditable to seek public office by proper methods and with proper motives, ami all applicants will be treated with consideration, but I shall need, aud loads of departments will need, time for inquiry and deliberation. Persistent Importuning wi.l not, t-t.-ifetors, bo the best support of on ai plioant for office. -Th beads of departments, bureaus, and alt otber publie officers having any duty oonnoctol therewith will be exiieole-t to enforce tlio oivilservico law fully ana without evasion. Doyond this obvious duty I bops to dp something uiore to advance .the reform of civil service. Tbe ideal, or even my jjown idosl, I shall probably not attain. 'A retrospect will be a safer basis of judgment than promises.

terestnow being manifested in tho reform or our election laws. Those who have been for years catting attention to the pressing necessity of throwing about the ballot-box and oloat election further safeguards in order that our election might not only be ires' and pure, but might dearly appear to be so, will welcome tbe accession of any who did not o soon discover the noed of reform. The Nationtl Congress bas not as yet taken comrolof elections in that case over which the Constitution gives it jurisdiction, but ha accepted and adopted the clt ction laws of several States, provided penalties for tbeir violation aud a method for their supervision. Only the inefficiency of the State laws or an unfair or par. Isan administration of them could suggest a departure from this policy. It was clearly, bowever, in the contemplation of the trainer of the Constitution tbat such on exigency might arise aud provision was wisely mode for It. .

Tbo results of such elections are not local, and the insistence of eleotor residing in other distitcts tbat tbey shall be pure aad free doe not savor at all of imnertinence.

Piiciitnoiila. According ta a medical contemporary, Dr. Gom erneur JL. Smith, of New York, has just given some interesting and startling fncts in regard to pneumonia. Dr. Smith points out that the disease is becoming worse evory year, increasing rather titan deoreasiag, botfi in the number of cases and the percentage of mortality. The statistics of the Pennsylvania hospital show that the mortality from pneumonia there advanced from 15$ per e nt. in 1847, to Itii per cent, in 1867, and ill per cent, in 18S(i. Similarly, in the Sew York hospital, the ratio of mortality is more than double what it was in 1878. Thirty or forty years ago it was regarded as serious, but it did not excite anything like tho alarm it does to-day. Dr. Smith is rather inclined to believo that the medical art, instead of progressing in its troatmout of pneumonia, has actually gone back, and holds that tho old methods of treating the disease at the time it was less deadly, have been abandoned for methods more finical but less ell caoious.
