WAS INDUCTED INTO OFFICE

GEN. HARRISON DULY INAUGURATED. Th On til f OO! e AdmlnliUrtd In the Midst of a Pelting Rain-Storm, by Chief Jostle Fuller Thoauadi Wltnosa the Ceremony. "WABHISGTOH, March 4. With imple and olemn ceremony, in the presence of all of the wisdom and authority embodied in the coordinate branchea of the government, and surrounded by the representatives of all the great nations on the face of the globe, Benjamin Harrison was to-day inducted into the highest office within the jrift of the American people. Gathering up the reins of power as they fell from the grap of his predecessor, he took the oath which bonnd him to the Eenrice of his country and charged him with the destinies of sixty million people. And so it was that Washington, the capitol eity,was to-day the Mecca of liberty-worshipers in all parts of the land. They were here in countless thousands. Weeks ago little rivulets of humanity began to How in unnoticed. As the day drew nearer the streams increased to rivers, the rivers combined in floods, and to-day a veritable ocean of fervent life surged PRESIDENT IT.AKRISOX. through the city. It filled all of the hotels that form the regular channels; it overflowed the boarding bouse and byways, and finally it permeated the sacred fastnesses of the private home. There never wns such a crowd in Wahipgton. Train men could not bepin to fäünatetbe number of incoming passengers; boats on the river were laden with human freight, and the roads leading in from the country saw processions of wagons filled with family parties all coming to pee a president inans-o rated. Every available room in the hotels had ben engaged weeks in advance. The boardinghouses had changed their halls into donnitor ie. A fjreat army of soldiers had camped in the public building. Toor, indeed, was the private family that did not accommodate its ountrj cousins. A myriad of cots sprang up like mushrooms over ni;ht and tilled almost very place that boasted a roof and walls as shelter from the keen March weather. It was the reign of the cot; it whitened every floor and appeared in every shape, from the humble crcÄ5-lcggf d army couch to the new tangled tuo-Moried variety which some rare genius invented to help out a city in j-uch enierirencies as these. In all of ii many forms it was welcomed and not depised by the va3t majority of the half million of free American sojourners in Washington. Great numbers of them had not even this comfort, and were forced to content themselves with a mattress thrown on tho floor, or an uneasy slumber on a billiard table, while it is a matter of record that more than one village magnate reposed la;-t nicht, in state, in the col tnbrae? ot the copper sides ot a bath-tub. Many othtr persons, too, more unfortunate, disrecarding the kindly precautions of the hard-worked committees on public comfort, came at a late hour yesterday to the city, and straying from the overcrowded benches of the railroad stations, wandered about the streets at night, seeking for shelter and places to rest their travel-worn bodies. Yet, in all cases where intelligence was hhowu in the qm-t, thinks to the indefatigable etlorta. of the publicspirited committee having their comfort in harze, some sort of shelter was found; and it ripr rrnthfnlly b said that Washington su rcshfally accomplished the herculean tak of r-ceivujij and caring for an army of sirantrers t-jce as numerous as the population of the c'ty. THE OATH OF OFFICE -Administered to I'rsldent Harrison L Chief .fntio Fuller. Wa2?J11MiTon, March 4. The ceremonies in the senate chamber concluded, came the most Kilemn and imposing event of the day, when the ehiif magistrate ot the United States, chosen by hi fei low-countrymen, tri, in their presence, to tak-j the oath of office and swear lo defend the constitution and laws of the land. The epeetacle, though indubitably marred by th- weather, was worthy of euh an event. In a driving rainstorm were countless thousands of citizens of the republic, hoarsely cheerinjf and shouting the name of the president. From oik; end of the. east front of the long and stately capitol was to be seen a dense inui of umbrellap, w iü'e immediately about the inaugural platform great numbers of people were packed in an nnmovable mass, exposed to the rain. The crowds in the streets keptupa constant cheering, shouting the name of Harri son end "four, four, fonryean more." It wa' nearly 1 o'clock when the procession from the nenate appeared at the doors of the rotnnda. President Cleveland and Presidentelect Harrison walked side by side and took their places in a .n:a!l railed inclosure, erected in the center of the front of the stand. Juch members of the senate, diplomatic corps and of the house of representatives and a number of other ofheers of the jrovernment as cared to brave the rigors ot the elements then came on in a body. When the crowd saw the president there aroe an uproar like the rushing of the waters of Niagara. The cheering was renewed again and ajrain and it was not until President Harrison had several times raised his hand for silence that order was restored. When the cheering had partially subsided, Chief Justice Fuller arose, and, baring his abundant white locks to the rain, held a bible in his right hand ready to administer the oath of office. Gen. Harrison and trgU-at-Arms (anaday h!m removed their hats. It was a rnost iinprr ssive scene. Unding with uncovered hads in the midst of a peltinjr rainstorm, l ;...,.;.. i .i,-. ... lur Hi l jui UM j'irsrivm-irn, atirrounded by high otlicers of tate and in the presence of an immense mnltitud of citizens, laced each other with bowed heads, while the former read the oath of office in a low tone of so.--. Ihe oath recited is in the following words: i tc solemnly awear that I will faithfully non.te the office of president of the Lotted States, and will, to the bt of mr ability, prerve, protect and defend the constitution ot the United H. U. At the conclusion of the reading of the oath the president, with hi right hand clasping the bible, bowed his head in assent. A silence almost painful had marked this preceding, and whn it was ended there was another trememl oos applause. 1 be ooe on which the oath was administered was a black, flexible morocco-bound volume about ten by eight inches in size. It is the latest New York and Oxford edition, printed on thin paper with gold edges, and is . igned for the nse of teachers with supple-n.-vtary notes and maps. Jn accordance with ) : custom, Mr. McKenney, clerk of the sui r. vie court, will present this book to -Mrs. I ; i i'on as a precious memento of the occaa'o.l. , . ; cheering which followed this ceremony I. .tv.:tg at length subsided somewhat, in defer et:c? to President Harrison's request, he drew from his pocket a roll of manuscript, and, after adjusting his spectacles, began reading hit inaugural address. He kept his silk hat on during the delivery of his inaugural, and was partly protectei from the rain by torgant-at-Arms I anaday, much after the manner in which oriental potentates are attended by their umbrella-bearers. lit. Cleveland, sow txpmidcnt, stood ud

fei if

during a part of the address, but becoming tired toward the close, seated himself. fcfhortly after Gen. Harrison had begun speakinjr his family, consisting of Mrs. Harri.son, Mr. and Mrs. Kusse U B. Harrison and Mr. and Mrs. J. R. McKee came forward ami were shown to places within th presidential inclosure. Vice-President Morton and Mrs. Morton were also present during a part of the ceremony, but the latter fainted in the throng and was removed to the vice-president's room in the senate where she was quickly revived and taken home. The delivery of the address was frequently marked by loud applause and shouts of approval. Inference to Dakota produced considerable cheering, but when the president spoke of a free ballot, the applause was mighty and tremendous. There were only mild demonstrations of approval when the president epoke of his policy in regard to the offices, aud when he mentioned the words "civil service" there was a silence broken only by a prolonged "ah" from a solitary voice in the crowd. The reference to the rehabilitation of the navy, and to the establishment of steamship lines, evoked cheers and cries of "good," but the most overwhelming shout of approval wa9 reserved for the statement of the president's pension policy. The crowd cheered again and acraiu at this point, and waved their hats and canes wildly. At the close of the address there was another outburst of applause, during which the president turned around and kissed his wife and daughter. The crowd, which all the time surged back and forth like the waves of the sea, gradually dissolved. A line was formed and the president retraced his steps to the vice-president's room of the senate escorted by Senator Hoar. Senator Coekrt 11 escorted the retiring president to the president's room. The senator kept his umbrella raised within the building and' it was not until he had twice or more knocked Mr. Cleveland's hat oTthat he realized that he was no longer in a rain storm and lowered his umbrella. Ex-President Cleveland remained in the f resident's room about five minutes with Maj. 'rüden, one of his s ecretnries, and then he joined President Harrison in the vice-president's room. The entire party ncriiin formed in procession and departed by the east doors of the senate, through which the came. President Harrison, lc-anint? on the arm of Senator Hoar, however, took the l-ad. instead of second place, which he occupied when they arrived at the capitol. Next came ex-President Cleveland, attended by Senator' Cockrell. followed by Senator Cullora. Private Secy. Halford, attended by Gen. George B. Williams, brought up the rear. While the procession was moving through the corridors Senior Edmunds met Mr. Cleveland and greeted him with great cordiality. ''I trust," said the senator, "vou will have a pleasant, and happy and prosperous future. Vou have my best wishes." Mr. Ueed of Maine also exchanged pleasant salutations with the retiring chief executive. Deafening cheers ami demonstrations of applause again greeted the pnrty as they descended the senate steps and continued until they were seated in their carriages and took their places in the procession, which immediately began to move. The following is the full text of President Harrison's inaugural address; There is no constitutional or lejml requirement that the president hall take the oath of office in the presence of the people. But there is so manifest an appropriateness in the public induction to office of the chief executive officer of the nation that from the beginning of the frovemment the people, to whose service the official oath consecrates the officer, hare been called to witness the solemn ceremonials. The oath taken in the presence of the people becomes a mutual covenant; the officer covenants to serve the whole body of the people by a faithful execution ot tho laws, eo that they may be the unfailing defense and security of those who respect and observe them, and that neither wealth, st.Vön nor the power of combinations shall be al) to evade their just penalties or to wrest them iroin a beneficent public purpose to serve the ends of cruelty or seläshness. My promise is spoken, yours unspoken, but not the les real and solemn. The pcopleof every state have here their representatives. Surely I do not misinterpret the f-pirit of the ocoasioti when I assume that the whole body of tho people covenant wi:b me and with ei:ch other to-day to support and defend the constitution ami the union r.f the states, to yield willing obedience to all the lws, arid eah to every other citic-n his tfjual civil and political ricrhts. Kmc ring thin sob-tun! into covenant with each other, we miy reverently invoke and confidently e.vPfct the tavor and help of Almighty God. that He will irive to me wisdom, strength and fidelity, and to our people a e;irit of fraternity tnd a love of righteousness and peace. GROWTH OF THE NATION

Contrsf s of Our Country of To-I.ty nnd One Hundred Year Ago. This occaMon derives peculiar interest from the fact that the presidential term which begins this day is the twenty-ixih under our constitution. The lirst inauguration of President AVihingtoti took place in New York, where coiikrres was then sitting, on the "Oth day of April, lrP, having been deferred by reason of delays attending the organisation of the congress and the canvass of the electoral vote. Uur people have alrcidy worthily observed the centC Dtiial ' of the ded irution of independene, of the baitlc of Yorktown and of the adoption of the constitution; and will shortly celebrate, in New York, the institution of the second great department of our constitutional scheme of fc'overniuent. When the centennial of the institution of the judicial department, by the orgitniz-ition ot the supreme court, shall have been suitably observed, as I trut it will be, our nation will have fully entered its second century. 1 will not attempt to note the marvelous and, iu a irreal part, happy contrasts between our country cs it steps over the threshhold into its second century of organized existence under the constitution, and that weak but wisely ordered young nation that looked undauntedly down the first century when all its years stretched out before it. Our peop'e will not fail at this time to recall the incidents which accompanied the institution of the government under the constitution, or to rind inspiration aud guidance in the teachings and example of Washington and his great associ iies, and hope and courage in the contrast which thirty-eight populous and prosperous states oti'er to the thirteen states, weak in everything except courage and the love of libertv, that then trinired our Atlantic seaboard. The territory of Pakota has now a population gre ;tcr than any of tho original states (except inrinia) aud greater than the airrrega?e of five of the smaller suites in 17!. The center of population, when our national capital was located, was east of P.altiraore, nd it was argued by many well-informed persons that it would move eastward, rather than westward. Yet in lSsf.i it was found to bo near Cincinnati, anil the new census, about to be taken, will show another stride to the westward. That which was the body has come to be only the rich fringe of the nation's robe. Hut our growth has not been limited to territory, population and aggregate wealth, marvelous as it has been in each of these directions. The masses of our people are better fed, clothed nnd housed than their fathers were. The facilities f.;r popular education have been va.stly enlarged ami more generally dirlused. 'Jin; virtues ot courage" aud patriotism hav given recent proof of their continued presence and increasing power in the hearts and over the lives of our people. The intluence of religion hr.s been multiplied and strengthened. The sweet oflir-es of charity have greatly increased. The virtue of temperance is held in higher estimation. We have not attained an ideal condition. Not all of our people arc happy and prosperous; not all of them are virtuous and law-aoiding. Hut, on the whole, the opportunities oflcred the individual to secure the comforts of life are better than are found elsewhere, and largely better than they were 100 years ago. "OUR PROTECTIVE SYSTEM." President Harrison Looks Forward Hope .'oily to Its Continuance. The surrender of a large measure of sovereignty to the general government, eflected by the adoption of the constitution, was not accomplished until the suggestions of reasons were strongly reinforced by the more imperative voice of experience. The divergent interests of peace speedily demanded a "more perfect union." The merchant, the schoolmaster and the manufacturer discovered and disclosed to our statesmen and to the people that commercial emancipation must be added to the political freedom which had been so bravely won. The commercial policy of the mother country had not relaxed any of its hard and oppressive features. To hold in check the development of our commercial Barke, to prevent or reUrd

the establishment and growth of manufacturers in the states and so to secure the American market and the carrying trade for their ships, was the policy of European statesmen and was pursued with the most selfish vigor. Petitions poured in upon congress urging the imposition of discriminating duti s that should encourage the production of needed things at home. The patriotism of the people, which no longer iound a field of exercise in war, was energetically directed to the duty of equipping the young republic for the defense of its independence by making its people self-dependent. Societies for the promotion of home manufactories and for encouraging the use of domestics in the desires ot the people were organized in many of the states. The revival at the end of the century of the same patriotic interest in the preservation and development of domestic industries and the defense of our working people against injurious foreign competition is an incident worthy of attention. It is not a departure, but a return, that we have witnessed. The protective policy had then its opponents. The argument was made, as now, that its benefits inured to particular classes or sections. If the question became in any sense orat any time sectional, it was only because slavery existed in some of the Mate. But for this there was no reason why the cotton-producing states should not have led or walked abreast with the New England states in the production of the cotton fabrics. There was this reason only why the states that divide with Pennsylvania the mineral treasures of the great southeastern and central mountain ranges should have been so tardy in bringing to the mneltinsf furnace aud to the mill the coal and iron from their opposing hillsides. Mill fires were lighted at the funeral pile of slavery. The emancipation proclamation was heard in the depths of the earth as well as in the sky; men were made free and materia! thin-rs became our better servants. The sectional element has happily been eliminated from the tarid discussion. We have no longer states that arc necessarily onlv planting states. None are excluded from achieving that diversification of pursuit among the people which brings wealth and contentment. The cot;on plantation will not be less valuable when the T.roduet is spun in the country town by operatives whose necessities call for diversified crops and create a home demand tor parden and agricultural products. Lvery new mine, furnace and factory is an extension of the productive capacity of the state more real and valuable than idded territory, ifhall the prejudices and ptralysis of t la very contiuue to hang upon the skirts of progress? How long will those w ho rejoice that shivery no longer exists cherish and tolerate incapacities it put tipou their communities? I look hopefully to the continuance of our protective system and to the consequent development of manufacturing and minim; enterprises in the states hitherto wholly civen to ariculiure as a potent influence in the perfect unification of our people. NO SPECIAL. POLICY

For the Sonth or Any Other Section of the CToutitry. Is it not quite possible that the farmers and the promoters of the great mining and manu facturins; enterprises which have recently been established iu the South may yet find that the free ballot of the workingman, without distinction of race, is needed for their defense as well as for his own? I do not doubt that if those men in the Sooth who now accept the tariff views of Clay and the constitutional expositions of Webster, would courageously avow and defend their real convictions, they would not find it difficult, by friendly instruction and co-operation, to make the black man their efficient and safe ally, not only in establishing correct principles in our national administration but in preserving, for their local communities, the beuetits of social order and economical and honest eovernuient. At least until the good otliees of kindness and education have been fairly tried, the contrary conclusion cannot be plausibly ureed. 1 have altogether rejected the suggestion of a special executive policy for any section of our country. It is the duty of the executive to administer and enforce, in the methods and by the instrumentalities pointed out and provided by the constitution, all the laws enacted by consrress. These laws are general and their administration should be uniform and equal. As a cirizeu may not elect what laws he will obey, neither iiimv the executive elect which he will enforce. The duty to obey anil execute embraces the constitution in its entirety and the w'm'e code of laws enacted ttiider it. The evil example of permitting individuals, corporations or communities to nullily the laws because they cross some sellish or local interests or prejudices is fu:l of dancer, not only to the nation at larce, but much more to those who use this pernicious expedient to escape their just oblications, or to obtain an unjust advantage over others. They will pr-'sentiy, themselves, be compelled to appeal to the law lor protection, and those who would use the law as a defense must not deny that use of it to others. If our great corporations would more scrupulously observe their legal limitations and duties tiiey would have less cause to complain of the unlawful limitations of their ri'-his or of violent interference with their operations. The community that by concert, open or secret, among its citizens, dc-n'es to a portion of its members their plain rights under the law ha severed the only safe bond of social order and prosperity. The evil works from a bud center, both ways. It demobilizes those who practice it, und destroys the faith of those who sutier by it in the etiictency of the law as n safe protector. The man in whoso breast that faith has been darkened is naturally the subject of dangerous ar.d uncanny suggestions. Those who use unlawful methods, if moved by no higher motives 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 condition ot government. If the educated and influential classes in a community either practice or connive at the systematic violation of laws that seem to them to cross their convenieuee.what can they expect when the lesson, that convenience or a supposed class interest is a sufficient cause for lawlessness has been well earned by the ignorant classes? A community where law is the rule of conduct and where courta, not mobs, execute its penalties, is the only attractiveticld for business investments and honest labor. OUR NATURALIZATION LAWS Should Be Amended no as to Exclude Vndeittr.tble Citizen. Our naturalization laws should be so amended as to make the inquiry into the character aud good disposition of persons applying for citizenship more careful ami searching. Our existing laws base been in their administration an unimpressive and often an unintelligible form. We accept the man as a citizen, without any knowledge of his fitness, and he assumes the duties of citizenship without any knowledge as to what they are. The privileges of American citizenship are so great nnd its duties so grave that we may well insist upon a good knowledge of every person applying for citizenship, and a trood knowledge by him of our institutions. We should not cease to be bospitab e to immigration, but we should ceae to be careless as to the character of it. There are men of all races, even the Lest, whose comine is necessarily a burden upon our public revenues or a threat to social order. These should be identified and excluded. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. Will Be Administered With Calmness, .Justice and Consideration. We have happily maintained a policy of avoiding nil interference with European affairs. We have been only interested spectators of their contentions in diplomacy aud in war, ready to use our friendly offices to promote peace, but never obtruding our advice and never attempting unfairly to coin the distresses of other powers into commercial advantage to ourselves. Wo have a just right to expect that our European policy will be the American policy of European courts. It is so manifestly incompatible with those precautions for our peace and safety which all the great powers habitually observe and enforce in matters affecting them, that a shorter water way between our eastern and western seaboards should be dominated by any European government, that we may confidently expeet that such a purpose will not be entertained by any friendly power. We shall, in the future, as in the past, use every endeavor to maintain and enlarge our friendly relations with all the great powers, but they will not expect us to look kindly npon any project that would leave us subject to the dangers of a hostile observation or environment. We have not sought to dominate or to absorb any of our weaker neighbors, but rather to aid aud encourage them to establish free aud stable

No other expectorant or anodyne is equal to Ayer'a Cherry Pectoral. It assists Nature in ejecting tho mucus, allays irritation, Induces repose, and is tho most popular of all cough cures. "Of the many preparation before the public for the euro of colds, coughs, bronchitis, and kindred diseases, there is none, within the rango of ray experience, so reliable as Ayer'a Cherry Pectoral. For years I was subject to colds, followed by terrible coughs. About four years ago, wben o atHicted, I wa-s advised to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and to lay all other remedies asido.

Bold by all Druggists Trice l; six bottles, $S povernracnts, resting upon the consent of their own people. We have a clear right to expect. therefore, that no Kuropcan povt-rninent will seek to establish colonial dependencies upon the territory of those independent American states. That, as a sense of justice restraina us from seeking, they may be reasonably expected willingly to forego, 'it must not be assumed, however, that our interests are so exclusively American that our entire inattention to any events that may transpire elsewhere can be taken for granted. Our citizens, domiciled for the purposes of trade in all countries and in many of the islands of the sen, demand and will have our adequate care in their personal nnd commercial riuhts. The necessities of our navv require convenient coaling stations, and dock and harbor privileges. These 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 jroverument from which we ask such concessions. But, having fairly obtained them by methods and for purposes entirely consistent with the most friendly disposition toward all powers, our consent will be necessary to any modification or impairment of the concession. We shall neither tail to respect the flair of any friendly nation or the just rights of its citizens, nor to exact tho like treatment of our own. Calmness, justice and consideration should characterize our diplomacy. The offices of an intelligent diplomacy or of friendly arbitration in proper cases should be adequate to the peaceful adjustment of ell international difficulties. ly such methods we will nwke our contribution to the world's peace, which no nation values more highly, and avoid the opprobrium which must fall upon the nation that ruthlessly breaks it. THE APPOINTIVE POWER Has Already Ilecome Burdensome to the w rres'.dent The Civil Service. The duty devolved by law upon the president to nominate and by and with the consent of the senate to appoint all public officers whose appointment is not otherwise provided forin the constitution or by act of congress, has become very burdensome and its wise and efficient discharge full of dilliculty. The civil list is so large that a personal knowledge of any l;,no number of the applicants is impossible. ' The president niii.-t rely upon the representations of others, an 1 these are often made inconsiderately nd without any just sense of responsibility. I have a right, I think, to insist that those who volunteer or are invited to give advice as to appointments shall exercise consideration and ndelity. A hieb sense of duty and ambition to irnfirove the service should characterize all pubic otiicers. There arc many ways in wh'ch the convenience and comfort of tho.e who have business with our public offices may be promoted by a thoughtful and obliging officer, and I sh:ill expect those whom I may appoint t-i justify their selection by a conspicuous efficiency in the discharge of their duties. Honorable party service will certainly not be esteemed by me a disqualification for public otlice, but it will in no case be allowed to serve as a shield for official negligence, incompetency or delinquency. It is entirely creditable to seek public OiT.ce by proper methods and with proper motives, a-id all applicants will be treated with consideration, hut 1 h :ll need, and the head of departments will need, time for inquiry and deliberation. Persistent importunity will not, therefore, be the best support of an application for office. Heads of departments, bureaus and all other public oilWrs having any duty connected therewith, will be expee'ed to enforce the civil service law fully and without evasion. Beyond this obvious duty 1 hope to do something more to advance the reform of the civil service. The idea!, or even my own ideal, 1 shall probably not auain. Retrospect will be a safer basis of judgment than promises. We shall not, however, I am sure, be able to put our civil service upon a non-partisan basis until we have secured an incumbency that fair-minded men of tho opposition will approve for impartiality and integrity. As the number of such in the civil service list is increased, removals from office will diminish. THE TREASURY SURPLUS Must Be Maintained Kitber Than Reduce the Protective Tariff, While a treasury surplus is not the greatest evil, it is a serious evil. Our revenue should be ample to meet the ordinary annual demands upon our treasury, with a sußeient margin for those extraordinary, but scarcely loss imperative, demands which arise now and then. Expenditure f-hould always be made with economy, and only upon public necessity. Wastefulness, prodinacy, and favoritism in public expenditures, is crimina!. Hut there i nothing in the condition of our countryorof our people to suggest that anything presently necessary to the public prosperity, security or honor should be unduly postponed. It w ill be the duty of congress wisely to forecast and estimate these extraordinary demands, and having added them to our ordinary expenditures to so adjust our revenue laws that no considerable annual surplus will remain. We will iortunately be able to apply to the redemption of the public lebt any smail or unforeseen excess of revenue. This is better than to reduce our income below our necessary expenditures wiih the resulting choice between another change of our revenue laws and an increase of tiie public debt. It is quite possible, I am sure, to cllcct the necessary reduction in our revenues without breaking down our protective tariff or seriously injuring any domestic industry. THE NAVY. Construction of War Sh.'.,, Miould Progress as Kapidly as Possible. The construction of a sufficient number of modern war ships and of their necessary armament, should progress as rapidly as is consistent with care aud perfection in plaua and workmanship. The spirit, courage and skill of our naval officers and seamen have many tiiues in our history given to weak ships and inefficient puns, a rating creatly beyond that of the naval lit. That they will azain do so upon occasion, I do not doubt, but they ought not, by premeditation or nejrlect, to be left to the risks and exigencies of an unequal combat. We should encourace the establishment of American steamship liues. The exchanges of commerce demand stated, reliible and rapid means of communication, and until these are provided the development of our trade with the states lying south of us is impossible. PENSION LAWS Bbenld Give Mora Adeqnate Relief to Those ' Deserving Aid. Our pension laws should give more adequate and discriminating relief to the Uuion soldiers Children Cry for

Cherry h

and sailors and to their widows and orphans. fSuch occasions as this should remind us that we owe everything to their valor and sacrifice. NEW STATES.

Their Admission Will Add Strength to the Union Titles to Land. It is a subject of congratulation that there is a near prospect of the admission into the Union of the Dakotas and Montana, and Washington territories. This act of justice has been unreasonably delayed in the case of some of them. The people who have settled these territories are intelligent, enterprising and patriotic, and the accession of tue new states will add strength to the nation. It is due to the settlers in the territories who have availed themselves of the invitations of our land laws to make homes upon the public domain, that their titles should be speedily adjusted and their honest entries confirmed by patent. THE PURITY OF THE BALLOT. A Ilypocrttlcnl Cry For Keform in the Face ot Fraud. It is very gratifying to observe the general interest now being manifested in the reform of our election laws. Those who have been for years calling attention to the pressing necessity of throwing about the ballot-box and the elector further safeguards in order that our elections might not only be free and pure, bnt might clearly appear to be so, will welcome the accession of any who did not eo soon discover the need of reform. The national congress has not as yet taken control of elections in that case over which the constitution gives it jurisdiction, but has accepted and adopted the election laws of the several states, provided penalties for their violation and a method of supervision. Only the inelliciency of the state laws, or an unfair or partisan administraiion of them, could surest a departure from this policy. It was clearly, however, in the contemplation of the t'ramers of the constitution that such an exigency might arise, and provision was wisely made tor it. The freedom of the ballot is a condition of our rational life, and no power vested in congress or in the executive to secure or perpetuate it, should remain unused upon occasion. The people of all the coueressional districts have an equal interest that the election in each shall truly express the views and wishes of a majority of the qualified electors residing within it. The results of such elections are not local, and the insistence of electors residing in other districts that they shall be pure and free does not savor at all of impertinence. If, in any of the states, the public security is thought to be threatened by ignorance among the electors, the obvious remedy is education. The sympathy and help of our people will not be withheld from any community strutrL'lirig wiih special embarrassuient or difficulties connected with the su tirade, if the remedies proposed proceed upon lawful lines and are promoted by just and honorable methods. How shall those who practice election frauds recover that respect for the sanctity of the ballot which is the lirst condition and obligation of good citizenship? The man who has come to regard the ba'lot-box as a juggler's bat has renounced his allegiance. Let us exalt patriotism and moderate our party contentions. Let those who would die for the 13a; on the field of battle give a better proof of their patriotism and a higher glory to their country by promoting fraternity and justice. A party success that is achieved by unfair methods or bv practices that partake of revolution is hurtful and evanescent, even from a party standpoint. We (-hould hold our differing opinions in mutual respect, and, having submitted them to the arbitrament of the ballot, should accept an adverse judgment with the same respect that we would have demanded of our opponents if the decision had been iu our favor. A GOODLY LAND And a Government Worthy of Respect and Lore, Is Our. No other people have a government more worthy of their respect and love, or a land so maguidcent in extent, so pleasant to look upon and so full of generous suggestiou to enterterprise aud labor. (ioJ has placed upon our head a diadem and has laid at our feet power and wealth beyond definition or calculation. Put we must rot forrct that we take these gifts upon the condition that justice and mercy shall hold the reins of power and that the upward avenues of hope shall be free to nil t!ie people. I do not mistrust the future. Dangers have been in frequent ambush along our path, but we have uncovered and vanquished them al!. Passion has swept some of our communities, but only to give us a new demonstration that tiie great body of our people are stable, patriotic and law-abidin?. No political party can long pursue advantage at the expense of public honor or bv rude and indecent methods, without protest and fatal d'safection in its own body. The only hopeful agencies of commerce are more fully revealing the necessary unity of all our communities and the increasing intercourse of our people is promoting mutual respect. We shall find unalloyed pleasure in the revelation, which our next census will make, of the swift development of tii great resources of some of the states. Kach state will bring its generous contribution to the great azsrrecate of the nation's increase. And, when the harvests from the fields, the cattle from the hiiis nnd the ores of the earth shall have been weighed, counted and valued, we will turn from tliem till to crown with tiie highest honor the state that has most promoted education, virtue, justice and patriotism among its people; A BUSY DAY FOR CLEVELAND. lie nnd His Cabinet Work All Night Bills Approved. Washington. March 4. President Cleveland had a very busy morning. He remained hard at work until 3 o'clock and was np and at work again at 8 o'clock. The members of the cabinet were with him most of the time. A vast amount of business was accomplished. A large number of bills were approved, the most important being the act amending the interstate commerce bill, the sundry civil appropriation, the Indian appropriation bill, the deficiency appropriation bill, the postotliee appropriation bill, the army appropriation bill, and the agricultural appropriation bill. President Cleveland approved the bill to forfeit lands granted to the state of Michigan to aid in the construction of a railroad from Marquette to Ontanagon. Inaugural Notes. Gen. Stevenson, first assistant postmastergeneral, has tendered his resignation, to take ellect upon the appointment of his successor. The new senators sworn in to-day were Barbour of Virginia, Hiirgins of Delaware, McMillan of Michigan. Marston of New Hampshire and Walcott of Coiordo. Ex-President Cleveland's part in to-day's ceremonies closed when the party returned to the white house from the capitol. There he was joined by Col. Laniont and the two entered tecy. 1'airchild's carriage and were driven direct to the batter's residence on New Ilamp-shire-ave. Mrs. Cleveland preceded them by about an hour. When the announcement was made in the senate to-day that President Cleveland had no further communication to make to this congress, it then bring 11:53, Capt. I;issctt walked up to the clock, eyed it closely nnd then apparently satisfied that it was doing more than Us required duty, performed the time-honored act of turning the hands back 'eight minutes) amidst a general loud smile. The white house was the- only public building in the city that was devoid of decorations to-day. An American flag, however, floated from the stall" on the roof. Several decant floral tributes were received at the white house this morning for President and Mrs. Harrison. Among them was a beautiful floral design of a four-leaf cover, the gift of the clover club of Philadelphia, and a large bhip-of-state, composed of white roses and violets from the ladies of the Columbia club of Terre Haute, lud. A DECIDED SUHPLUS. "West Virginia Uns Several More Governors Than She Knows What To Do With. Charleston; W. Va., March 4. Nathan Goff(republican) and President IL 8. Carr of the state senate (union labor) took the oath of office as governor of this state at noon and made a formal demand upon (iov. Wilson to vacate.
