TrE rFirst official aet of the new President was the nomination of his cabinet. * His second was to sign the commission that placed Gen. Grant upon the retired list in his old rank.

EverytHine tends toward a steady change for the better. Bradstreet’s reports from leading trade centres give a brighter look to the general situation than has been reported for some months.

Tur new apportionment has become 4 law, as the bill received the signature of the Governor last Friday. We will admit that it is a little ene-sided, but it is ne worse than the work of our republican friends in many of the Western States. i Y

Tuk proposed amendment to the constitution, fixing the terms of county officers at four years and making them ineligible to re-election before a lapse of four years, hasveceived the approval of both houses. This is one of the most ‘meritorieus measures of the session.

It nas BEEN reported lately that-Gen. Manson will resign his position as Lieu-tenant-Governor. In that event it is proposed to elect a president of the Senate. Should Gov. Gray be chosen Senator Harrison's successor in 1887, the president of the Senate would become acting Governor. The possibility of such a contingency is likely to le;)”to an exciting contest for the presidency of the Senate. I :

Tre rirst official act- of Secretary Lamar, of the Interior, last Friday was to appoint that old war-herse, Gen. J. C. Black, of Illinois, as Commissioner of Pensions. Gen. Black was a gallant

federal doldier and was attending a reunion of lhis old regiment at Chicago when the news ot his appointment was forworded:to him by telegraph. He is one of the leading members of the G. A. R. and his appointment will be received with 'hearty accord by this organization, coming as it does from the hands of a southerner. Verily, theera of good will is at hand. '

Tue wonperruL rush for offices that has been so persistently predicted by the republican press has not yet commenced. Washington correspondents say that there are fewer office-seekers in the Capital now than there was in the corresponding period four years ago. The accession of Mr. Garfield to the Presidency did not mean a party ; revolution, and yet he was overwhelm~ed and besieged by office-beggars. He was finally assassinated by one of the most importunate. That the crowd of expectants is less now than it was four ‘years. ago must shame the republican organs which have all along predicted barbarous things of the fierce hordes of “hungry Democrats.” ‘ L

Tae Baxxer most cordially endorses the following from the Dubuque Herald, edited by Hon. M. M. Ham: ' “Arthur retires from the Presidency with the respect of all good citizens as haying made a good, business executive. There has been nothirig brilliant about his administration, except his social regimé, but there has been considerable common sense about, it that has pleased the pecple. Mr. Arthur has encountered the enmity and orposition of that portion of the republican party that accepts Blaine as its moderator, but with Indtg)endents, unbiased Republicans and Democrats he stands weql. It is fortunate for the latter that Arthur was not. renominated, as nearly- every one of them admits he cou{d have been elected.- 'This thought is the most consgling Arthyr can take into retire‘ment.” :

Personal Warfare Discouraged. During the late campaign the mass "of the republican press of the country as well as quite a number upon the opposite side indulged in low, indecent attacks upon the opposition candidates. “We_ sincerely comeur in the following from the New York World, which says: Let us hope that the lesson of theadministration of President Cleveland will discourage the use in the future of those gross and reprehensible personal- . ities which have disgraced our political eampaigns in the past. . The personal slanders and -coarse misrepresentations of his private life _ t@ which Mr. Cleveland was subjected ‘last year were induced b{ the unassail-: able character of his public record. The - malignity of his enemies seemed to render them insensible to popular sentiment, and thg canvass was degraded by charges and insinuations to which no reputable journal wonld in ordinary times giye space. - : ** How ridicalous do these indecorous ~ stories and prurient predictions seem S Reing, digetbe . peneeet sac . quiét digni graceful ease ikl which %@W e ~ od the office!

RipnLEBERGER, the accidental Senator from Virginia, made an exhibition of himselt last Thursday by interposing an objection to the confirmation of the cabinet. On Friday he subsided, however, and the appointments were confirmed unanimously. = ° ; | R S T Tue G veroor convenad the Legis—lature in ¢xtra isession last Monday. ‘A large amount of important: legisla tion waa left over at the end of the regu'ar session and it was an absolute neces-ity that the woik continue, It is supposed that the work now b‘ef*,cr.e‘ ‘both bodies can be done in two we?ks.‘ et ® e e e 5 ‘ | An Unnecessary Apprehension. ' An‘esteemed contemporary that unquestionably has the interest of the democratic party as well as the country at heart, apprehends trouble frem a conflict of views as to the €lass of refgrms that should have precedence in the reformatory measures which the -derhocratic administration will be required to carry out. There will be, as it believes, a dispositien on the part of those new light reformers who regard the civil service and tariff reform as of ‘the first consequence, to claim that they should haye the first econsideration. This ¢lass will include some old style free trade Democrats and all the later recruits who left the republican party on account of its tariff taxation policy ‘and its official spoils system. " On 'the other hand, the Harmsburg Patriot says, there will be a large force of the party intent upon the reform of abuses that have injuriously affected the character of the government. The work they will want done first would go to the bottom of the corruptions that have vitiated every department of public business. It would arrest the tendency to centralization and disregard of constitutional restrictions which has grown in strength by lorg encouragement. Its object would be reform in the fundamental principles of government, according to the idea ‘of Jefferson and after the manner of Tilden. It would correet the abuses of administration, secure the discontinuance of sinecures, prevent the pervergion of ‘the public funds, and punish the neglect or malfeasance of those charged with the custody and:expenditure of the people’s money. . But there is no reason to apprehend, as our esteémed contemporary seems to do, a conflict for precedence in pushing reforms so obviously necessary. The better judgment of the party will sustain the reform that would be effected by turning out the indgompetency, immorality and ‘oﬁengije partisanship that have accumulated and been harbored in the civil service undetr repubJican domination, and there can be no dispute .in democratic counsels about not merely the expediency but the positive necessity for the reduction of tariff taxation. As to the reg)rming of the vices of administration that have crept inlo every department of the government, and checking the inclination to unconstitutional and centraliz—ing methods, in which the democratic party will find the chief duty of its mission, there is an unanimity of sentiment pervading the party which will admit of no contention about precedence and matters of such migor consideration. 5

Gen, Grant Provided KFor.

. One of the'last acts of the Fortyeighth Congress was to vote $13,500 a year to the support of General Grant. This was done by means of a bill enabling the President and Senate to re—store him his rank as General, and to put him on the retired list with the full pay of that rank. . The Retirement hill was passed by the house, under a suspensign of the rules, on the motion of Mr. Randall, the leader of the Democrats. Seventyeight members voted against the bill. We trust that their motives will not be aspersed. Considerations of sentiment and coarity aside, they were right and the majorjty were wrong. : Nevertheless, we do net‘tllinl%tllat citizens will be disposed to blamevVCongress for straining a point for .General Grant's benefit. There is no doubt that recent reports as to;the condition of his health have largely affected the opinions of those who doubted the propriety of such legislation in his behalf. ‘He is now, in fact, Gen. Grant once ‘more—the title by which he will be longest remembered and most highly honored. ¢ Tl

We hope that he may liveto enjoy for years the honors and emoluments of his new post in the army.—New York Sun. ! £

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Prestdent Cleveland’s Admirable In T gt i i i @evw: mpn D? ?"v 5 President Cleveland’s intugural explains itself, and is not one of those public documents that requires a commentary to make its meaning clear. It is characteristic.of Mr. Cleveland that hie zﬂlw'ays knows just what he wantsto say and he says it in a few plain words. He goes at s subject with simple directness and does not confuse it with ‘many words: He is a man-of praetical’ common sense habits and views, and his public utterances-are all in consonance with this characteristic.

His inaugural is just such a deliverance as might have been expected from the man. It refers to such matters of public poliey as now concern the country and treats them concisely, candidly and intelligently. We are made tounderstand just what the President thinks about these things in a plain, practical, com’frwn sense way, and are spared all philosophical disquisitions on matters of no concern or transcendental’ views on questions not before the country and not likely tobe. | o ‘President Cleveland tells the people that now is the time, when bitter partisan quarrels should cease and the good of the country should be the common concern of all; that the foolish twaddle of the sectionalists should cease and people of all parties combine “.to work out harmoniously the achievements of our national destiny.” This is sensible advice and it is patriotic as well Having reminded the people that they. are to-an equal extent bound with him by their obligations of cifizenship to discharge duties and. assume responsibilities, Mr. Clevelmid points ont some ‘matters of plain pelicy upon which he considers it proper to make known his views. These are— ety

Economy in public expenditures. These should be what the actual needs of the government econemically administered require, and no niore. Beyond this the govérnment has no right to exact anything from-the |people. Simplicity and prudential economy sliould be the motto in mattets of government, and those in office should enkj:ourage these virtues by their example,

- The country should attend to its own business, keep out of foveign:_broils and prevent foreign powers fronr interfering with us. Our policy should be one of peace. - _ : o

Finances should be on a safe basis, such as will command the confidence of the business interests and conserve the interests of labor.. The tariff should be fixed so as to- make its burdens fall as lightly as possible, and at the same time provide againstinjurious foreign competition. No revenue in excess of government expenditures shonld be collected. S e

Public land should be kept for actual settlers, and should mot'be suffered to be stolen. The Indian should be fairly treated, and with a view to makea citizen of him some time. Polygamy is an offense to. the moral sense of the world, and should be suppressed. : The importation of servile labor should be repressed, and no immigration of that kind should be allowed. The eivil service reform should be énforced and only those should obtain and hold office under the geovernment who are fit and competent. . : * The freedman should be protected in all his rights, and there should be no pretéxt afforded for anxiety in that direction. fr .

- These topics, and such as may arise out of the ever varying wants of the people, may well, in Mr. Cleveland’s opinion, fequire» the attention of all who make and execute the laws, Haying set forth his views in reg#rd to these the president takes up the responsibilities of power, trusting not only in his own ability.to deal with them intelligently, but in the support of the people and in the goodness and power of God, whose blessing is invoked upon the labor of the new administration. = The inaugural will, if we mistake not, create a most favorable impression among the peeple of all parties. ' Even Mr. Cleveland’s political enemies can find no fault with i, all admitting that it is wise, sensible and patriotic and that the President means what he says. They only profess to doubt his ability to carry out the policy therein indicated. : |

We do not have any fears of that. In carrying out the policy outlined in his inaugural, President Cleveland will be supported, not enly by his own party but by the best men and the better elements of all parties. - And if so, the era new opening will be the most prosperous, the happiest and in all respects the grandest in our history. :

Altogether, the inadgural i a fairly good document. If Mr. Cleveland sticks to his text all through, be will have don® better than most people expect him. — Toledo’ Commercial-Telegram (Rep ) e : ' WORK OF A STATESMAN.

Regarded in its entirety, the inaugural address is likely to inspire the country with great confidence in the wisdom and integrity of the new administration, and to largely lessen the regrets of partisan defeat. The least that can be said of it is that it is the work of a statesman of great natural and acquired ability. — Philadelphia Telegraph (Rep) ' : '

HO NEST, STRAIGHTFORWARD.

President Cleveland’s inangural address is generally commended as an apparently honest, straightforward document. If he lives up to it he will make a good President, and untilsome action taken by him shall show: a disosition to depart from tke principles Ee has laid down. he should have the best wishes of the country.—Merridian (Conn.) Republican. :

UNFLINCHING AND UNEQUIVOCAL.

Nothing could be more unflinching and unequivocal than the utterance of the inaugural with relation tothis fundamental feature of all genuine reform, * ¥ * One thing is pretty certain. If Mr. Cleveland-amakes as good a President as Mr. Hendricks may be relied on to make a Vice President, he will be re-elected. And why not both?—New York Sun. ! - e

A CHART OF SOUND_PRINCIPLES

President Cleveldnd's first official act, his inaugural, almost disarms eriticism, except in quarters bound to be dissatisfied with ' whatever he does. The in~ augural can best be described as a chart of sound principles, which, if followed without swerving, will make his administration transcendentally useful to the country. He has set the standard exceedingly high, as if to warn off politicians of the baser stripe.—Boston Transcript (Rep.) f

AUSPICIOUS OPENING

The new administration has opened well. Perhaps it is the negative char-: acter of the inauguval which makes it seem to be written more for the approval of Republicans than of Democrats. However that may be, it is a leasure to take the new IXreéident at Eis word, and to congratulate bim upon the atspicious opening of his adminis—tration.— Utica Herald (Rep.) ;

CANDOR, DIRECTNESS AND .COURAGE

It is such a cabinet for characterand’ tendency as one year agons man would hayve believed any democratic President, if he should bave the disposition, would have the resolution and the influence to call together. It isanother evidence that the President-helieves that candor, directness and coutrage in the pursuit of his ends are better than timidity and subterfuge and compromise, and, if this is his belief, itfin turn is strong evidence that the ends he seeks are honest and will commend themselves without any disguises.—Boston Advertiser (Rep:) | : ;

MUCH TO COMMEND.

There is little' to criticise and very much to commend in President Cleveland’s brief address to the people from the steps of the Caﬁitol vesterday. Remembering that the speaker embodiéd the triumph of a great party returning from a banishment lasting a quarter of a century, his political enemies will be the first to recognize and appreciate the good taste and non-partisan spirit of his first public ntteérance. In the tone and temper of the speech we find nothing that a correct understanding of the highest requirement of the situation could add o» omit.—Buffale Com-mercial-Advertiser (Rep:) _

ADMIRABLE.

' It is one of the most admirable inaugural addresses recorded in our history. —Boston Herald (Rep.)

DIGNITY AND SIMPLICITY

Pregident Cieveland's inaugural address .will be no disappointment to those who had confidence in his strong political sense and his ftirm grasp of political principles. The singular dignity and simplicity of the address are not: more remarkable than the wellgrounded conviction that underlies its modest but unhesitating declarations, and those who have thought of Mr. Cleveland as an apprentice in politics will be undeceived if they have themselves the knewledge to perceive how clear an understanding of constitutional Democragy | inSfJire_s both its substance and phrfaseor ogy,~—Philadelphia Times (Ind.)

EXECUTIVE STRENGTI INVESTED.

Altogether Mr. Cleveland's inaugural address is politic, and ayoids so many possible modes and forms of error into which'he might have fallen that its judgment and poise power of abstinence and of reserve invest it with a good - deal of executive strength and aptness.—Chicago Inter-Ocean (Rep.) EARNEST, UNPREFENDING ANH SENCERE..

CURVELAND'S INAUGURAL AD- © A Sensible Decament. e A A Ja - - Fentow-Cimizexs: To the presence of this vast assemblage of my countrymen lam about to supplement and seal by the oath which 1 shall take the manifestation of the will of & great and free people In.the exercise of their power and right of self-government they have committed to one of their fellow-citizens a supleme and sacre Itrust; and he here consecra’es bimself to their service. / This impressive oerem,on¥ adds little to the solemn sense of wqionslb lity with which I contemplate the duty lowe to all the people of the lg.nd; nothtn% can relieve me tfrom anxiety lest by any act of minetheir interests may suf fer, and nothing is needed to strengthen my resolution to: engage every faculty and effort in the promotion ef their welfare.” Amid the din _of party strife the people’s choice was made; but its attendant circur stances have demonstrated anew the strength and safety of ‘a.government by the people. In each succeeding year it more clearly appears that our democratie principle needs no apology, und that in its feariess and faithful application is to be found the surest guarantee of good government, But the best results in the operation of a government, wherein every eitizen has a share, largely depend upon a ﬂpromn~ limitation of purely partisan zeal and effort, and a correct appreciation of the time when the heat of the partisan should be merged in the patriotism of the citizen. | g To-day the Executive branch of the government is transferred to new keeglng. But this is still the government of all the people and it should be none the less an object of affection- ‘ ate solicitude. At this hour the animosities of | political strife, the bitternesaof partisan defeat | and the exultation of partisan triumpb sheuld | be supplanted by an ungrudging acquiescence | in the popylar will and a sober, conscientions concern tmﬁﬁ the general weal. Moreover, if from this hour we cheerfully and honestly abandon all sectional prejudice and distrust and determine, with manly confidence in one another, 1o work out harmoniously the achievements of our national destiny we shall deserve to realize all the benefits which our happy form of government can bestow. On this auspicious occasion we may well renew the plédfe of our devotion to the constitution which, launched by the founders of the Repul_)lic and consecrated by their prayers and patriotic devotion, has for almost a century borne the hopes and the aspirations of a great people through presperity and peace and through the shock of foreign contlicts and the perils of domestic strife and \'iclssimdlﬁ. AMITY AND MUTUAL CONCESSION. ; By the )S:‘?&»‘&)f his Country ouy constitution was commendedfor adoption as * the result of a spirit of amity and mutual concession,” In the same spirit it should be administered, in order to promote the lasting welfare of the country and to secure the tull measure of its priceless benefits to is and to those who will succeed to the blessings of . our national life. The large variety of diverse and competing interests, subject to Federal control, persistently seeking the recognition of their claims, need give us no fear that “the greatest good to the greatest number” will fail to be accomplished if in the halls of national legislation that spirit of amity and mutual concession shall prevail in which the constitution had its birth, If this involves the surrender or postponement of private interests and the abandoniment of local advantages, compensation will be found in the assurance that thus the common interest is subserved and the general welfare advanced.

In the discharge of my official duty 1 shall endeavor to be guided by a just and unstrained construction of the constitution, a careful observance of the distinction between the powers granted to the Federal Government and those reserved ‘to the States or the people, and by a cautious appreciation of those funetions which, by the constitution and laws, have been especially assigned to the executive branch of the Government. -But he who takes the oath today to preserve, frotect and defend the constitution of the United States only assumes the solemn obligation which every patriotic citizen, on the farm, in the workshop, in the busy marts of trade and everywhere, should share with, him. The constitution which prescribes his agath, my countrymen, is yours; the Government you have chosen him to administer for a time is yours; thesuffrage which executes the will of the freeman is yours; the laws and the entire scheme of our civil rule, from the town meeting to the State Capitol and the National Capitol, is yours. Your every vote,.as surely as your chief magistrates, under the same high sanction, though in a different sphere, exercises a public trust. Nor is thisall, Every citizen owes to the country a vigilant watch and close scrutiny of its public servants, and a fair and reasonable estimate of their fi‘delity and usefulness. 'This is the people’s will impressed upon the whole frameweork of our eivil polity—municipal, State and Federal—and this is the price of our liberty and the inspiration«of our faith in the Republic. It is theduty of those serving the people in public place to closely limit public¢ expenditures to the actual needs of the government economically administered, because this bounds the right of the government to exact tribute from the earning or fabor or the property of the eitizen, and because public extravagance begets extravagance among the people. We sheould never be ashamed of the sinplicity and prudential economies, which are best suited to the operation of a republican form of government and most compatible with the mission of the American people. Those who are seclected, for a limited time, to manage public affairs are still of the people, and may do much by their example to encourage, consistently with the dignity of their ofticial functions, that plain wny*;f lite which among their fellow-citizens adds MMtegrity and promotes thrift and prosperity.

A POLICY OFPEACE,

The genius of our institutions, the needs of our people in their home life, and theattention which is demanded for the settlement and development of the resources of our vast territory dictate the scrupulous avoidance of any departure from that foreign policy commended by the history, traditions and the prosperity of our'Republic. I isthe polic(ir of independence favored by our position and defended by our known love of justice and by our power. It is the policy of peace suitable to our intercsts. It is the policy of neutrality, rejecting any share in foreign broils and ambitions upon other continents, and repglling their intrusion here. It is _1,:}10 policy of Xﬂom-oe and of Washington and Jefferson—" Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none.” i

A dueregard for the interests and prosperity of all the people demand that our finances shall be established upon such a sound and sensible basis as shall secure the safety and confidence of business interests, and make the wage of laber sure and steady ; and that our system of revénue shall'be so adjusted as to relieve the people from unnecessary taxation, having a due regard to the interests'of capital invested and workingmen employed in American industries, and preventing the accumulation of a surplus in the Treasury to tempt extravagance and waste. Care for the propertyof.the nation and for the needsof tuture settlers require that the public domain should be protected from purloining schemes and unlawful occupation. The conscience of the people demands that the Indians within our boundaries shall be fairly and' honestly treated as wards of the Government and their education and civilization promoted with a view to their ultimate citizenship; and that polygame{ in the Teryitories, destructive of the faumlgr relation and offensive to the moral sense of the civilized world, shal] be repressed, The laws should be rigidly enforeed which prohibit the innmigration of a gervile class to gom‘pete with American Inbor, with no initention of acguiring citizenshi}) and bring with them and retaining habits and cuistoms repugnant to our civilization, 5

REFORM IN THE ADMINISTRATION, ~ The 1!.)eople demand reform in the administration of the Government and the application of business to public affdirs, Asa means to this end, civil service reform .should be in good faith enforced. Our citizens have the right to protection from the incompetency of public employees who hold their places solely as the reward of ertisan service, and from the corrupting influence of those who promise, and the vicious methods of those who expect such rewards, And those who worthily seek public em(i)loy-ment have the right to insist that merit an comgetency shall be recognized instead of party subserviency, or the surrender of honest politietbelief, . . oo SR

DANIEL MANNING. What Mr. Manning is he owes to himsslf. His boyhood was so hard and short that at ¢ years of age he' was forced to earn his living as office boy in The Albany Argus, where he learned to set type. while making his way into William Cassidy, the editor’s, good graces. He was a sturdy, bright-faced, active lad, with a direct, simple way of saying things that soon made him available as a réporter. In time Cassidy madé him city editor, and on Cas:idy’'s death years afterwards he stepped into his place. Perhaps the rarest luck that ever befell Daniel Manning was the liking William Cassidy took to him. The editor of . The Argus was not only a keen politician, an accomplished scholar, and a brilliant writer, but he was one of the most highly bred men ever known in Albany tociety, From his honost Irish parents young Manaing got the rugged constitution and powerful frame that have been to him more than a fortune and a college diploma. But ' from William Caszsidy he learned suave courtesy and easy dignity. It has often been said that no maa could associate with Cassidy and not learn to behave like a gentleman. Mr. Makning has been the prosigent of a bank, a leader in the entar;)x'i e of Albany and the lirl'eat,est single power in his community. He has great common sense and . buriness sagacity, qualitias that have made his paper a power and turned the opportunitics it threw in his way into the roads to an honest and handsome fortune. He isan adroit and imperturable polivician, who wuses candidates rather than others in his game. He has never until now hell an office, though he has disposed of many. 'He has long been a disciple of Samuysl .Ty Tilden, and as chairman of tue Dem cratic state committee hag a national reputation, ‘

LUCIUS QUINTIUS CURTIUS I;AMAR.

Lucius Q. C. Lamar is a typical southerner not only in appearance, but by birth and training, and is unquestionably the brainiest man in sonthern politics. He is<in his 60th year, and there is little in his gppearance to indicate advanced age or physical weakness. He is astrong man. He has had a di versified and extremely interesting career. After his admittance to the bar at ‘the age 22 his love for the society of young men, which is ome of his strong eharacteristics, caused him to spsnd many years of his lifo as a tutor jin: various colleges. He was a member from Mississippi ~of the Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth congresses prior = ‘to the breaking out of the war, but resigned to take part in the secession convention of his state. In the Confederate army he wwon a colonelcy. After ths war, while holding a professorship in the Mis«issippi university he was elected to the Forty-third and Fortyfourth congresses, and then elecied to the United States senate in 1877, and re-elected in 1882, The eulogy of Charles Sumner, delivered by Mr. Lamar in the house of representatives, in March, 1874, was the advance step toward healing the sectional diffarences that existed between the north and south as a result of the war, and though he was bitterly denounced by his people for this §peech ho has continued in the policy of reconciliation, which bas resulted in the present goodfecling existing between the sections. Mr., Lamar is a widower, and lives in furnished lodgings in Washington. He knows and cares as little about money-making as a child, and is consequently poor. }
