There are three things about President
Cleyeland's inaugural address which will
commend themselves to the American peo-
pie. They are his utte.ances in favor of
economy, reform and the restoration Of
peace over the whole country. These
three will probably constitute the keynote
of his administration. and are an indication
that his policy will receive the popular in
dorsement, benefit the people. and leave
the country in much better condition
than it is to-day. both as regards its public
and private affairs. There Is one sentence
in the address that every man should cut
out and preserve. 1t is this: eve should
never be ashamed of the simplicity and
prudential economies which are best suited
to republican form of government and
most compatible with the mission of the
American people" There is a world of
wisdom in this, and it reminds one of some
of President Lincolns sayings, with their
homely truth and dirsctness. "Despise
not the day of small things" is good mot
to for a government and q people as well as
an individual and if we are to be lifted out
of the slough into which Republican ex-
travagance has plunged the country, it will
be we'll to begin at the beginning. Presi-
dent Clevela nd evidently proposes to be-
gin at that end and if he lives up to the
utterances of his inaugural-labor to sub
stitute economy for extravaganza, pros
perity for prostration and peace for sec
tional hatred, it needs no prophet to
foretell for him q popular and successful
administration.

Lafayette NJ. E. Church gave house
warming last Friday evening. There was
concert. in the new church edifice, and it
was attended by ~ large and appreciative
audience.
Mrs. Belle Cole rendered some very
pretty soprano solos, and she was encored
several times. Her execution of g Daddy"
won beautiful boquet of flowers from
some bald-headed daddy in one of the
front seats. Miss Carrie Shone's rendition
of selections from Princess Ida were ex-
ceptionally dne Mr.. Charles Shone sang
The Bugler," and then Miss Markstein
charmed the audience by the manner in
which she handled the piano. All who
participated in the programme were well
received Those whose names have not
already been mentioned are Messrs. Parker
and Sheppard, who sang a duet. Mr.. John
Holland, who proved himself proficient
with the violin and solos by Mrs. E. A.
Kimball and Mrs. J. b. Smith
The concert was grand success.
The concert in the chapel of the Lafay-
cite Lutheran Church last Friday night
drew more people than could be CON
veniently accommodated. Pastor Sch
weltzer opened the programme by brief
address on the power of music, after which
two selections in German were sung by the
choir. The music was the feature of the
evening, and it was of an excellent order.
Messrs. Jackets singing is worthy of
mention. She rendered some very pretty
ballads, and'was warmly applauded. Every
nody left apparently well satisfied with
their evenings enjoyment. e

When the American people take hold of
anything they go into it with vim and
rush that astonishes the staid and sober
citizens of Europe. Base ball was one ir .
stance, but the latest and most senseless
of all is the roller skating rink craze, which
seems to have attacked all sorts and con-
ditions of people, from the toddling little
ones on the sidewalk to the gray haired
citizen and citizeness who ought to know
better by reason of their age. They don't,
however, and join the .throng as if they
hoped to be rejuvenated. We can sym
pathize with the skater gliding over real ice
on pair of keen runners, but make believe
ice and rollers is false pretense that we
fail to appreciate. It is an old adage that
'sone fool makes many, and it was never
more clearly illustrated than by the roller
skating mania. The next folly may be even
more idiotic. but it hardly seems possible.

The journal commiserates with the poor
New York newspaper reporters who, it says,
were sent somewhere on fruitless hunts for
an item by publication in last Sundays
TATTLER, that the Journal says was bogus
and lie. 1t might have expended little
of its sympathy for these gentlemen a
month or SO ago when it sent them all over
New Durham, through mud that hid their
knees, to verify a wholly false, fabricated
and ''faked" trance story that had appeared
in its columns. If the TATr1ER stopped to
notice all the yarns of that kind that the
Jomrnalgiyes publicity to it would have little
space for anything else. We don't do bust
ness that way. Our aim is to make what
ever appears in our columns perfectly re-
liable and trustworthy. Like every one
else, we are liable to be deceived, but we
have not been deceived yet

LONDON, March IA dispatch from
Korti states that during the summer the
main body of the British troops will remain
camp there, with headquarters at Dongola.
The wind now blows like furnace.
Prince Hassan is now bringing a pack of
hounds with him to hunt antelopes, and
has made other preparations to beguile the
time during inaction. 1t is rumored that
two friendly tribes in this vicinity have de-
clared for El Mahdi Gen. Wolseley. in
an address to the troops at Korti yesterday
afternoon, said that it was no fault of theirs
that they failed to rescue Gen. Gordon.
"But," he added significantly 'swe will
meet Gordon's betrayers at the gates of
Khartoum before the end of the year" In
conclusion, he exhorted the troops to bear
with patience the heat and trials of the
coming summer, together with its con-
sequent inaction. fs ~

ssWhom the Gods would destroy they first
make mad !" and it would seem as. though
the Republican party of the State of New
Jersey had reached the point of total mad
ness that preeedes annihilation and des-
truction. The Republican Joint Caucus of
the Legislature have, to serve purely par
tlsan ends, inaugurated changes in the sys-
tenn of appointments that are little short of
revolution. The State is hopelessly Demo-
cratic, and it IS a political impossibility for
them to capture Governor; but their vii
famous system of redistricting gives them a
reasonably sure call upon the Joint Caucus;
and with the design of putting Republicans
into the places that Democratic Governor
would fill with Democrats, they are pushing
through the Legislature acts that divest the
Governor of his appointing power and
transfer it to the Joint Meeting. There
never was a holder attempt to cheat the
Democratic majority of this Commonwealth
out of their right of self government 1t is
a direct stab at the fundamental principle
of popular government the majority
shall rule. If the State is Democratic it is
natural and right and in accordance with
the eternal fitness of things that she should
be oficered by Democrats. But these fell
lows care nothing for right, if right stands
in the way of few paltry offices. They do
not even stop at the political places, but
have taken even the judiciary into the
scheme, and propose to force the judges of
our courts to lay plans and pull wires, and
make combinations to secure positions
on the bench. They thus debase justice
by putting its administration into the hands
of the meanest and least scrupulous of the
politicians Beyond and above all that, a
deadlock between the two Houses will
doubtless lead to serious complications.
Such deadlock has not been unknown in
the history of New Jersey legislation. The
Joint Meeting that made Colonel Toffey
State Treasurer was, in fact, the
first one that the Houses have
had in three years. Viewed in what
ever aspect you please the movement is
without excuse except such as the little
craftsmanship that prompted it may afford;
and if the scheme is carried out the people
will remember the party no less than the
men with whose aid it was accomplished.

Erie County. and his next essay was as
Mayor of Buffalo. It is not from either Of
these classes Of politicians that Presidents
are ordinarily taken-in fact il is the first
time in the history of the country that an
ex-Sheriff has ever been made President.
But Mr.. Cleveland had the good fortune to
secure the nomination for Governor at q
time when the Republicans had selected q
candidate whom the great mass of the party
would not support, and he went into Office
with majority of 1872, 000--a majority that
has been but once excelled in the history
of the States. 1t was this fact that largely
aided to secure him the nomination for
President, but how worthless the claim was
is shown by Mr.. CIevelands plurality of less
than 1900, although the Republican party
was again divided. But not even this divis-
ion would have awaited him, so close was
the vote, had not the Rev. Mr.. Burchard
come to his aid at the last moment with his
ssthree Rs" Now there aybe nothing of
luck in all this, but it is difficult to account
for it on any other theory. But Cleveland
is not to possess a monopoly of the good
fortune. 1t was very lucky thing for the
Democracy that they selected him to be
their standard-bearer, and it is also lucky
thing for the country that a change of
rulers has been brought about. Mr.. ,Cleye-
lands public life shows that he is deter
mined on reform wherever it can be accom-
plished, and that is what the country needs
just now. Honest and faithful administra-
ton of the government will be better FOR
the people than brilliance and display. IL
Grover Cleveland's luck holds he will prove
himself one of the best Presidents the
country has ever had.

& The Sun has concluded that writing and
publishing articles in newspapers against
President Cleveland will not hurt him.
Well, the Sun ought to be an authority on
that subject. It has been having its little
filings at the gentleman ever since the day
the Democratic Convention convened at
Chicago, yet Mr.. Cleveland was nominated
and elected and has now been inaugurated.
And to-day the San is licking Mr.. Cleye-
lands boots as vigorously as some time ago
it was striving to soil them. The course
Mr.. Dana is pursuing now should forfeit
for him the repect of all his readers.

were three articles in the Journal lifted
bodily out of the TATTLEn of the day be.
FORE If the TATTLER were published every

from the New York morning papers.
