CLEYELAND,S INAUGURAL.

President Cleyeland's inaugural adj
dress, published elsewhere in this issue,
contains nothing new or brilliant or
strictly original, but the passages re-
lating totheg cyernmentof the country
and the welfare of its citizens will be
read with interest in every home in
the land. In accepting the great trust
he fnllyy appreciates the responsibility
Of his position and holds that every
voter ia. the union, in common with.
himself, is under the solemn obligation
Of supporting the constitution and of
aiding in administering the laws.
Especially does he recommend for
e~ffieials .tthAsatt plain way OF f life which
among their fellow citizens aids integ-
rity and promotes thrift and prosper
ity.7 Economy will be the vital OBJ
jet Of his administration, and he
promises that Office shall not be made
the reward of partisan service. To-
ward foreign nations the traditional
policy Of the republic will be adhered
to; peace with oil and entangling alli-
aaneeess with none. He maintains that that
the finances Of the government should
be kept upon q sound and sensible
basis, that no surplus reyenue should
be collected, and that the rights Of
both labor and capital should be duly
regarded. The public lands should be
preserved for actual settlers. The IN
dams should be treated and educated
with d view to becoming citizens.
Polygamy should be suppressed. The
immigration of Cinnamon, who come
to compete with our labor, without
any intention OF assuming citizenship
should be prohibited. Public affairs
should be conducted upon business
principles, and no man should sur.
render his honest political opinions
with the hope Of obtaining office. The
address il conohed III plain Language
and doubtless expresses TIC honest con.
yictions Of its author.
The Warner weekly sun. (Warner, Brown Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1885, 1885-03-13

Gov. PIERCE has again exercised the
veto power and again will the people
of the territory approve his action.
On Friday last he returned the bill ap-
$4,000 to the Fargo agri-
cultural college and $4,000 for the
erection of a reform school building at
Plankinton, on the ground that the
needs Of the territory did not call for
such an expenditure Of money at pres
emf, and that the amount appropriate
ed was insufficient to the purpose for
which applied. He further suggested
that the penitentiary building at Bis
marck, as yet unoccupied, could be
used for a reform school until a sepa-
rate and distinct building should be
required. The governor is evidently
determined not to countHnance private
schemes nor allow the public money
to be squandered.

ELIAS BRAY, of Wilkosbarre, Pa,
a licensed preacher Of the Methodist
Episcoprl church, believes that it is his
duty to remove President Cleveland by
spiritual manifestation. He says he
will use no force, but simply wave his
hand and say, "The year of jubilee has
come, return yo rmsomcd sinners
home" when the mighty Cleveland
will dissolve and come to naught.
Bray has been arrested on the charge
of insanity.
The Warner weekly sun. (Warner, Brown Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1885, 1885-03-13

WHILE the partisan press is consid-
erabIy agitated over the composition Of
the new cabinet, the people as a rule
will suspend judgment until they are
enabled to Judge in~telligently by official
conduct. They are determined that
Cleveland shall have a fair trial, and
are not going to treat him with any
petty or captiouS criticism at this stage
of the game. The cabinet, as an
nounced Thursday, is as follows:
Secretary of state-Thomas F. Bayard of Del
aware.
Secretary of the Treasury-Daniel Manning of
New York.
Secretary of war-wiiiiam c. Endioott of
Massachusetts,,
Secretary of the Nayy-William G.. Whitney of
New York.
Secretary of the Interior-L. Q. c. Lamar of
Mississippi.
Postmaster General-William F. Villas of Wis
%consin.
Attorney Genersl-A. H. Garland of Arkansas.

A BILL dividing Brown county on
the town line just north of Ordway
has passed both branches Of the legis-
lature and awaits the governors action.
The bill provides that the part north
Of the dividing line shall be known as
Brown county and the southern part
as Adams county.

The western fever is raging in Yer

THE inauguration ball was undoubt-
eddy the grandest, most imposing and
luxurious affair of the kind over held
in the United States. The band num-
bered over a hundred pieces and at
least 10000 people took part in the
entertainment.

ONE of the last acts Of the forty
eighth congress was to vote $13, 800 a
year for the support of Gen. Grant.
This was done By means of a bill en-
abling the president and senate to re-
store to him his rank as general and
to put him on the retired list with the
full pay of that rank.

The state of Rhode Island contains an
