Now that the Supreme Court has
decided that the penalties of the dram
shop act are sti4 iq force, the temper
aace people of the State are discussing
the propriety of commencing immedi-
ate war upon the saloons. In the
meetings held so far in different parts
of the State large number of the
temperance people favor letting the
matter rest till the first of May, when
the new temperance law goes into
operation. or else give saloon keepers
three or four weeks notice before COM
mencing action against them, that
they may make some disposition of
the stock that they now have on hand.
We think It would be wisdom on the
part of the temperance people to be
governed by the conservative men
among them. It will not be long till
the first Of May, when, if the new law
is strictly enforced, it will need the
earnest cooperation of all temperance
people, while to begin the fight now
with a broken front and contentious
among themselves the temperance
people will find it more difficult to
enforce the new law when it takes
effect and is ip force.

The "talk mllf'' of Kansas, other.
wise known as our State Legislature
wound up last Saturday, As is usual
during the last hours of our Legisla-
ture, the members who remained
INDUCED in much fun making and
perpetrated many practical Jokes, All
manner of placards were pasted on the
backs or pinned to the coat tails OF
different members. Our legislators
were either very DESTROYS of getting
home to receive the congratulations OF
their constituents or of fleeing from
the scene of their folly, as it was very
difficult for the sergeant-at-arms and
his assistant to keep quorum present
during Saturday to receive messages
of the Governor, who was kept busy
signing the bills that were rushed
through during the closing hours. The
great majority of bills passed, aside
from the appropriations, were of q
local nature.

The Inaugural Address.

Like all of his productions, the inaug
ural address of President Garfield i.
scholarly in style, ornate in illusions
and full of ripe thought.-Daity Capt.
tai.
The Address is replete with thought
indulging in a scholarly retrospect OF
the past one hundred years of the Re.
public, and dwelling at length upon
the great issue of the hour, the whole
being cOuched in that terse, elegant
English of which President Garfield is
such an acknowledged master.-C0m.
nsOnaUcalth.
President Garfield's Inaugural Ad-
dress is short, straight, strong, and
sharp, like Roman sword. There is
little adOrnment and no flourish about
it, although graces Of expression are
not wholly sacrificed to compactness
and breyity. The historical review with
which it opens forms solid founda-
ton for the reasonings and sugges-
tons which follow. 1t justifies the
high coincidence which the people
have felt in President Garfield's patri-
otism and upFightness, and in his abil-
ity to propose wise policy for the
governments of the tion.-New York
Tribune.
The inaugural address of President
Garfield, which will be found jim full in
our news columns this morning. is
characteristic of the man-plaip and
practical, and full of good sound sense.
Although a presidential inaugural
address is usually matter of form
rather than of business, and deals in
platitudes rather than facts, the adj
dress delivered by President Garfield
yesterday has very busines-like tone,
and fereshadows very clearly the
course that has been mapped out for
the new administration upon all the
great issues at present before the cOun-
try.-Le0vea,OOrth Times.
President Garfield's inaugural adj
dress will be read with profound and
interest by the people of
gil parties. It treats of public ques-
tons from lofty and patriotic stand
point and breathes throughout an air
of sincerity and manliness character
istic Of the man. There is nothing in
it to offend the partizan, and yet it ex-
presses decided convictions upon many
great questions. The problem of equal
suffrage for the lately enfranchised
African race is admirably stated and
its wide and far reaching bearings
clearly pointed out. Yet, 80 noble and
generous is the spirit and manner in
which this issue is presented, that the
Southern people themselves can hard
~ take offense at it, but must be led
to a more just and patriotic temper of
mind with regard to ;t.-Lawrence
Journal.

biting several animals. Assisted by
Jim Christy, after quite chase the
dog was killed, but they failed to ascer-
tain whose it was or where it came
from.
Hurrah for our new blacksmith!
Jones is his name, and he is son of our
accommodating mail carrier. We
may be mistaken, but it appears to us
that this community can readily sus-
tain two blacksmith shops. We often
have too much work for one, and we
believe that quite an amount of pat
ronage now going elsewhere, could in
a short time be diverted to this point.
It seems that a false rumor is in the
air, and right here we wish to say
that p. r. Mcclure authorizes us to
state, that all his old customers and as
many new ones as come, will find him
at his shop ready for business. Come
and see. We really hope that both
shops will be SO we'll supported as to

PRESS COMMENTS.


While not Cabinet of exceptional
ability, or one noted generally for con-
spicuous public service. it is in the
main good one, and the general pub
lie Willie inclined to give it a fair trial.
-Leauen,OOyth Standard.
1t is strong Cabinet. Blaine,
Window and Kirkwood, are men of
force. Lincoln will make a wise coun-
sellOr. McVeigh is a man of ideas and
doctrines, and Judge Hunt is gen.
tleman Of polish and culture. With
Garfield himself, as President, and
with such a Cabinet, we ought to have
a wise and remarkably successful
Observation-Disclosures Journal.
It is respectable Cabinet, but not
a great one. The greatest man in it
is Senator Blaine, and from him it
tapers down by regular graduation to a
small point. 1t is disappointing
Cabinet. It is an attempt to cOmpro-
mise geographical claims with pOliti-
cal difficulties; an effort to arrange
party preferences by the distribution
of party patronage. The Cabinet as a
whole does not rise above mediOcrity.
ACShoUOA0 11AOAuC ohu w 1uNOIu dxC UI1C
only two men in it of really national
Observation-Disclosures Journal.
The composition of the cabinet will
afford general satisfaction. 1t meets
all the require ments of locality. 1t
has a high average Of ability, unques-
toned integrity, and in its collective
capacity a very unusual experience of
public affairs and knowledge of the
duties pertaining to the several offices.
Mr.. Blaine is in one sense a national
character. He is an eastern man with
western temperament. Mr.. WINDOW
in point of ability ranks high, as a
sound and clear-headed thinker. The
appointment of Mr.. Blaine and Mr..
Window may be accepted as commit
ting the new administration thorough
ly to the support of the double stand
ard, and actively employing the
influence of the republic to extend it
over Europe and America. Mr.. Lin
coin possesses all the qualification for
a good executive officer, and is better
fitted for the war office than most of
those who have held Chicago
Tribune.

For several weeks past politicians
and newspaper correspondents have
been forming cabinets for Garfield,
and confidently assuring the public
that this one or that one had been pos
itively decided upon. No President
has ever received SO much advice in
reference to his cabinet as has Presi-
dent Garfield, and there perhaps has
never been time when the great mass
of our people manifested SO much in
terest in reference to this matter. The
suspense is ended, and guesses in re-
gard to the matter are no longer nee
essary. The only man who had au-
thority to make cabinet has been
heard from. On Saturday President
Garfield sent to the President the fol-
lowing cabinet. which was at once
by that body without dis
senting voice:
Secretary of State-James e Blaine,
of Maine.
Secretary of the Treasury-William
Window, of Minnesota.
Attorney General = Wayne Mac
Veagh, of Pennsylvania.
Postmaster General - Thomas L.
J ames, Of New York.
Secretary of the Interior-Samuel ].
of iowa.
Secretary of War-Robcrt T. Lin
coin, of Illinois.
Secretary of the Navy-William H.
Hunt, of Louisiana.
Without single exception the APP
pointments are all good, and the cabi-
net seems to give general satisfaction.
