Garield's Beginning.

Garfeld's inaugural is a simply but powerfully written document, carrying us
 back in its unpretending yet forcible style to the days of Abraham Lincoln, the great
 est master of the language that ever oc- cupied the presidential chair. In his brief review of the last century of American history, the President treats the abolition of slavery as the severest test to which the constitution has ever been put. Such is undoubtedly the case. Slavery was the worst form of tyranny of capital over la-
 Dor. It has been most happily over- thrown but there Is looming up before us the tyranny of capital combined into corporations, usually under some form of autOcratic control, which IS growing daily more dangerous to individual liberty, and which already controls legislatures, and sometimes, we fear, courts.
 After temperate afirmance of the prime necessity of free ballot and a fair count at the South, the President briefly refers to some of the pressing questions of the day. He favors a. bi-metallic cur rency, and the bringing of the silver dol
 lar up to equal intrinsic value with the gold dollar. He does not believe in the retirement of the bank currency. He thinks the government should foster ag- ficulture as well as commerce, and favors appropriations for internal improvements though on a different plan evidently from the annual River and Harbor grab. He does not, however, fa- vor any appropriation at present to help any of the inter-oceanic canal or railway schemes, which is bad news for Capt. Eads. He denounces Mormonism, not as a religion-for the national government cannot meddle with that-but as destruc- tive of the true family relation, and as tending to ecclesiastical interference with civil liberty. He believes in permanent tenure of minor civil offices, and will re- commend to Congress the passage of 8 law to regulate the tenure of office.
 On the whole the inaugural is a special ly good one, and gives promise of a good administration. It is, so far as we have seen, well received by the press of both parties,
 The Cabinet is strong one. composed of able men who represent all sections of Republicanism. Whether Blaine will make great Secretary of State may be doubted, but he is certainly most con- spicuous figure Tn the history of oul times, and, in accordance with political usage, is entitled to the Cabinet position he takes. The Conkling interest finds representation in MT. James who will probably make an excellent Postmaster General. Independent Republication finds it's representation in Wayne Mac Veagh. MT. Windom. Secretary of Treas ury, is most highly spoken of by those bet acquainted with him. On the whole the Cabinet bids fair to be 8 success though, after all, "the proof of the pud- | ding is in the eating"

CONCLUSION.

Finally, acting always within the authority and limitations of the constitution, invading neither the rights of states nor the reserved rights of the people, it will be the purpose of my administration to maintain the authority of the nation and all places within its jurisdic- tion to enforce obedience to all laws of the Union in the interest of the people, to demand rigid economy in all expenditures of the. goy- ernment and require honest and faithful ser vice of ali the exclusive officers remembering that the offices were created not for the bene- fit of incumbents or their supporters, but for the service of the government.
 And now, fellow citizens, am about to assume the great trust that you have commit ted to my hands. I appeal to you for that earnest and thoughtful support which makes this government in fact as it is in law gov ernment of the people. shall greatly rely upon the wisdom and patriotism of Congress and of those who may share with me the re- responsibilities and duties of the administration, and above all upon our efforts to promote the welfare of the great people and their govern ment, reverently invoke the support and blessings of Almighty God.

lnlS aliegaIlOn IS admitted. It IS answered that in many places honest local government is impossible if the mass of uneducated ne- groes are allowed to vote These are grave al- legations. So far as the latter is true it is the only palliation that can he offered for oppos- ing the freedom of the ballot. Bad local gov ernment is certainly great evil which ought to beprevented, but to violate the freedom and sanctity of the suffrage is more than an evil It IS crime which if persisted in will destroy the government itself. Suicide is not a rem edy. If in other lands it is high treason to conpass the death of king, it should be counted no less crime to strangle our sov- ereign power and stif1e it's voice. It has been | said that unsettled questions have no pity for the repose of nations. It should be said with I the utmost emphasis that this question of sui frage will never give repose or safety to state l or nation until each within it's own iurlsdic 1 tion it nlakesand keepsthe ballot free and pure l by the strong sanction oi the law. But the l danger which arises from ignorance in the l voter cannot be denied It covers a field far wider than that of negro suffrage and the l present condition of that race; it is a danger l that turks and hides in the sources and foun- dations of power in every state. We have no standard by which to measure the disaster that l may be brought upon us by ignorance and vice in the citizen, when joined to corruption and fraud in the suffrage. The voters of the Union, who make and unmake constitutions and upon whose will hangs the destinies of our government, can transmit their supreme authority to no successor save the coming gen eration of voters, whe are the sole heirs of the
 sovereign power If that generation comes to
 it's inheritance, blinded by ignorance and cor
 rupted by vice, the fall of the republic will be
 certain and remediless The census has al
 ready sounded the alarm in the appalling fig
 ures which mark how dangerously high the
 the tide of illiteracy ::has risen among our vo-
 ters and their children. To the South this
 question is of supreme importance, but the re-
 sponsibility for the existence of slavery can
 not rest upon the South alone The nation
 itself is responsible for the extension of the
 suffrage and is under special obligations to aid
 in removing the illiteracy which it has added
 to the voting population For the North and
 South alike these is but one remedy All the
 constitutional power of the nation and of the
 state and all the volunteer forces of the peo-
 pie should be summoned to meet this danger
 by the saving influence of universal educa.
 tien.s It is the high privilege and sacred duty of those now living to elevate their situation and it them by intelligence and virtue for the

1869, and commenced business in the
Store House now owned and occupied

chased the we'll known Jno. Allemong
psoperty, for so many years owned
and occupied by him, and latter.y
occupied by the firm of Allemong and
Mayors. They commenced business
on very small capital, but by strict
attention to business, they built them
selves up a trade from the beginning,
and ever since have maintained alarge
proportion of the trade coming into

and attractive stock, comprising Dry

Besides they carry a larger and
more complete stock of "Pure Drugs

You can find at their house, almost
anything in the drug and medicine
department.
In the fall of 1879, they had manu-
featured under their own name, the
