PAFTISON'SINAUGURATION
The Governor-Elect in Favor of
a Simple and Undemonstra-
tive Affair.

The Board of Officers of the State
Fencibles' Battalion offered the services
of the battalion to Governor. elect Pat
tiSon as IN escort fromhlS home to Har-
risburg on the occasion Of his ipaugura-
tion. Mr.. Pattison has declined the
offer in a letter to Charles Berger, ad-
jutant and secretary ofthe Board Of Of
fcers. Mr.. Pdttison's letter is as fol-
lows
PHILADELPHIA, November IS. 1882.
My DEAR SIR: desire to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter advising me
of the resolution unanimously passed at
meeting of the Board of Officers OF
the State Fencibles Battalion rendering
me the service of the Battalion as an
escort from my home to Harrisburg on
the occasion OF the Inauguration Of the
Governor of the Commonwealth in Jan
uary next. This letter is only one of
many am daily receiving of similar
import from various organizations,
both civil and military. As | was at
one time a member and president of
your Battalion, 1t is not improper that
/ select my reply to your invitation as a
method of communicating my purpose
as to the Inauguration to all those OIL
ganiZ ltions that have already address
ed me on the subject or might be likely
to take an action in the matter in fu-
ture For the persona compliment in
tended to be bestowed upon me by
these friends am sincerely grateful,
but must decline to accept their kind
offers, for the reaS ons l am about to
state, | have always entertained pro-
found conviction that a simple and un-
demonStrative Inauguration of the pub
lie officers was most in accord with the
spirit Of republican institutions. There
is no reason that l can see why the
mere taking of an oath by the citizen
called by the people to execute a public
trust should be made the occasion for
scenes of pageantry and demonstration.
To my mind the solemness of the act
is marred by the intrusion Of such
needless and inopportune display. Tie
sooner we return to simplicity and dem
reratic good sense in these matters the
better-better for the people and better
for the officers. Besides, am resolutely
determined that so far as can control
the matter, my Inauguration as Cover
nor shall not cost the people of Penn
sylVauia one dollar. Why should it?
They derive no benefit from such scenes
and the money spent thereon is wasted.
These are my reasons for declining
your'kind offer. trust they may meet
your approval. OF course, the inaugur-
alton is a public act and takes place in
the eye of the pnclic. Therefore it is
the right Of such citizens as desire to
do SO voluntarily and at their own ex-
pense to be present. at and witness the
ceremony. All such [ will be glad to
see and meet on that occasion. More
than that do not wish to inspire and
cannot approve. Respectfully yours,
ROBERT L. PATTIsON. |

UpoN due reflection it must be
admitted that Gov.PattisOn is about
right in declining to have big
demonstration over his inauguration,
although many Democrats may feel
rather kcenly disappointed about the
matter. five rightly remember the
Inauguration of Gov. Hoyt cost the
state some $1,000. Now it is per-
tinent to ask what substantial good
comes to the people generally for
the outlay of money? None what
ever. 1t is the sheerest waste of
the peoples money, without any
practical good to anybody, except
the momentary pleasure of a COM
paratively small number "a dol
lar saved is q dollar earned" and
what is good ethics for an indiyid-
ual are also good for a common
wealth. Mr.. Pattison means buSi-
ness. He will .bc business Cover
nor all through, just the kind of exc
cutive so much needed at this june
tnre and the people of the state, OF
all parties and classes, will sustain
their noble young Governor in his
great work of reform.

The New York Times thinks that the
disgracefuI scene Of tumult in the House
Monday illustrates the growth of bad
manners in Congress as clearly as it does
the incapacity of the Speaker. OF
course, the weaker the occupant of the
chair the less the restraint which men,
bers are likely to place on their tongues
and tempers, and the long continued
disorder of Monday was so nearly IN
precedented as to suggest extreme lack
Of ability on the part Of Dir. Keifer TO
rule the House. 1t is of the opinion,
however, something ought to be due to The
dignity of the Federal Legislature, no mat
ter who may preside over its sittings,
and people will be tempted to put low
valuation both on the morals and the
understanding Of the Representatives
who approach so nearly TO rufianism as
the chief offenders in Mondays brawl.
It says Republican simplicity has a
certain nobility and charm of its own,
but when the absence of ceremony tends
to facilitate license, it may be worth
considering the advisability Of importing
a little more severity and stateliness into
the conduct Of business in the House"

On Monday last a bill was introduced
in the Senate to establish a board of
railroad commissioners to regulate inter
State commerce. It authorizes the Presi-
dent to appoint a board, consisting of
three men, one a civil engineer, one an
expert in agricultural, commercial and
manufacturing interests, and the other
either a specialist on railroad questions
or Of approved legal attainments.
Each are to receive a salary Of
81, 600 per annum, and TO hold office
six years. The board is to supervise the
business Of all railroads, canals or other
transportation companies which pass
from one State or Territory into or
through another, and investigate all
questions in reference to inter State COM
merce which may be laid before it by
Railroad Commissioners of the several
States. The bill makes it the duty of
the board to carefully gather all neces-
sary facts and statistics bearing upon the
question Of interstate commerce, and
embody the same in its annual reports.
The bill ought to be entitled IAN act to
provide for the further Capitalization of
the government by taking possession of
all the railroads Of the country"

According to the Detroit Free Pres,
the West and South have already profited
considerably by the Atlanta Exposition.
That paper alludes to the primitive man
ner of farming which prevailed in Geor-
gia before the Exposition, and says:
cat the Exposition some enterprising
manufacturer put samples of his harrows
on exhibition and the result has been the
sale of nearly $780, worth of these
useful implements in the State. A Michi-
gan manufacturer also profted by the
Exposition. His speciality was wind
mill, and he arrived on the ground so late
that the directors could do nothing fc.
him beyond assigning him place to set
up his machines. He put up half dozen,
