Mr.. Jefferson's First Inauguration.

In the congressional library is musty old
file ofthe National IHteLiiGeHcer, from which
the following account of Mr.. Jetierson's in
auguration is taken:
At an early hour on Wednesday March 4,
1901, the city of Washington presented a
spectacle of funcommon animation, occasioned
by the addition to its usual population of a
large body of citizens from the adjacent dis
trictS a discharge from the company of
Washington artillery ushered in the day and
about II o'clock the Alexandria COmpanv of
rihemen, with the company of artillery,
paradod in front of the Presidents lodgings
At i o'clock Thomas jefferson, attended by
number of his fellow citizens, among whom
were many members of Congress, repaired to
the capitol. His dress was, "a usual that of n
plaln citizen, without any distinctive badge of
once. lie entered the capitol undel a dis
charge OF artillery On his entry into Senate
chamber, where were assembled the Senate
and the members of the House of Represen-
tativeS, the members ruse and Mr. Burr left
the chair OF the Senate, which Mr.. jefferson
took. After few moments of silence Mr.,
Jefferson rose and delivered his address be.
fore the largest cOnCOurse of citizens ever as
sembled here Having seated himself for
short period, he again arose, and approached
the clerks table, where the oath was admin
istered by the chief justice; after which he re-
turned TO his lodgings, accompanied bv the
yice-president the chief justice, and the
heads o. the departments, where lie was wait
ed upon by "a number of distinguished citi-
zenS. As soon as he withdrew discharge
OF artillery was made. The remainder of
the day was devoted to purposes of festivities,
and at night there was apretty general illuIni-
nation.

LANCASTER, FEBRUARY ~, 1855.
He Mould Wisely Decline.

The visit of Senator Lamar to Mr.. Cleve-
land is variously accounted for. The most
reasonable explanation is that Senator La
mars journey was taken to advise the
president-elect that he has determined not
to take cabinet position. If our cabinet
places were such as are at the service of
Statesmen of the dominant party in Eng
land, distinguished senators like Lamar
and Bayard might accept them with profit
to the party and themselves, for they
would retain their places in the Senate and
have the time at their disposal that is
needed for the discharge of both their ey-
ecutiye and legislative duties. With us.
however, the cabinet member cannot keep
his seat in the legislature. Even if it
would be permitted, his executive duties
are so great that he would not generally
have time to spare for legislative functions.
It might be better perhaps to create a
certain number of cabinet positions for the
use of members of Congress, and make
them ministers without portfolios. 1t has
often been contemplated to give certain
members of the cabinet seats in Congress.
The secretary of state would have leisure
20 sit in Congress, and possibly the other
departments might be arranged with exec
utiye heads in such manner as to give the
secretaries the opportunity to sit in the
national legislature. If such arrangement
could be made, or if cabinet ministers
were created without departments, it would
be very well for the president to
go into the Senate or the House
for the official counsellors of his adj
ministrtion. Then Bayard and Lamar
might advantageously be invited into the
cabinet As it is they cannot leave the
Senate with advantage to the public: nor,
we think, TO themselves. Senator Lamar
particularly is not adapted to the strain
and worry and industry needed for the
pOstofIiee or interior departments, for which
he is mentioned. lie is a wise man one
of the wisest of our statesmen and we
think he has gone to Mr.. Cleveland to say
to him that he will not do this thing that
is foolish for himself and the country.
Mr.. Cleveland has such wealth of ma
terial from which to select his cabinet that

met office. In New England he has fine
choice, though Eaton of Connecticut, in
our Judgment, stands there al the head of
the list of good men. In the South he has
an embarrassment of riches, and can hardly
60 wrong. From the Northwest Villas
seems to be settled upon. And III the West
il he overloobs Thurman, he will have done
SO strange thing as to excite the gravest
doubt concerning his fitness for his great
office.

The Fire Dppartment.

When the Erdmincr says that Z" the In
TELLIGENCER is doing its level best to
make the issue of chief of the fire depart
ment political" or that anybody is under
taking to g bulldoze y big Republican
majority of councils, it distinctly and de-
liberately says what it knows is not true.
The best test it could make of its sincerity
in the matter would be to publish what the
INTELLIGENCER has said on this point, or
what took place in councils when the
fire department was first organized.
If it did either it would show to its read
ers what it tries TO conceal from them. viz:
that by the desire and consent of allparties
the department was organized on non
partisan basis, that the Democrats then in
majority in councils refused to hold a
caucus for chief engineer, and that Mr..
Howell was elected simply on his merits as
a fireman, without any regard to politics
and by the Republican members Of coun-
ell.
The attempt to drag the department into
politics comes from few desperate or
impulsiye partisans, who want to prosti.
tute the service into political ma
chine for their uses at primary and
general elections; and if they succeed
its efficiency will be destroyed. Nc
Democrat, as such, has any greater
interest in preventing this than n
Republican. Good men Of all parties, in
terested in the welfare of the city and the
protection of its prosperity, are earnestly
anxious not only that this department be
kept out of party politics but that other
branches of the city government be taken
out; and we feel confident the right will
prevail, as it has before, without the CO.
operation and against the op, osition of our
esteemed but hide-bound and narrow
minded contemporary.

WEST CHESTER is such model little
town, having so large a proportion of law
abiding citizens within its limits, that il need
not cause surprise to learn that the muni-
cipality is striving TO tread more carefully
that narrow path at the end of which is
municipal perfection. The present little blot
on the virgin page of CheStor's county scat is
caused by the neglect of drivers to hitch their
horses, thus violating a borough ordinance
that subjects offenders of this description to
a fine often dollars or and Imprisonment not
exceeding ninoty-six hours. West Chester's
chief burgess has gi:ded up his loins in the
determination to crush this iniquity. He
recently fined a rcca!citrant driver one dollar
for this offense, aud announces his firm dc
termination to make examples of all future
delinquents. In her efforts TO protect her
citizens i,om all manner of harm on the
public highways West Chester teaches a
lesson that may I've taken to heart with profit
by many of her sister municipalities.

A Paralyzcd Senator.

When the Philadelphia committees were
at Harrisburg last week endeavoring to
persuade the legislature to action in execu-
tion OF the constitutional provisions against
railroad discrimination, a senator said to
them that during the ten years that the
constitution has been established, with
these limitations upon the business of com
mon carriers, he had never heard any law
proposed that would carry into effect the
constitutional mandate.
This was Senator Emery, who has been
supposed to be an intelligent senator, and
who has been the leader Of the opposition
to one of the states anacondas, the Stand
md oil monopoly.
Senator Emery plants himself seemingly
Is senator who has always been ready
o eifcctuats the constitution, but as ON
iho has never known how to do it, OF
een told by any one how 10 do it.
This seems 10 10 yary hum Hating
Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1885-02-24

confession. 1t puts Senator Emery very
low in the rank of Gods creations. The
senator who is ready to carry into effect
the constitution, as the oath requires him
to do, has but TO declare the constitution
as the law of the state and afiix
proper penalties for its violation. If a
senator, who is willing, is not able to do
this much, in ten years, such condition
of mental paralysis should cause his re-
tirement to one Of the states institutions
for the care of imbecility, other than the
legislature; which is an asylum chiefly for
the moral imbecile.

this form of amusement has taken deep hold
on the people of kennett and vicinity.
