HARRISON DELIVERING MAUGURAL.
Our people win not fan at this time to recall the
incidents which accompanied the institution of
government under the constitution, or to find in
SEPARATION and guidance and teachings and exam
pie Of Washington and his great associates, and
hope and courage in the contrast which thirty
eight populous ami prosperous states offer to the
thirteen states, weak in everything except cour-
age and the love of liberty, that then fringed our
Atlantic seaboard
The territory of Dakota has now population
greater than any Of the original states Except
yirginia) and greater than the aggregate of five
of the smaller states IN 1890
THE CENTER OF POPULATION,
when our national capital was located, was east
Of Baltimore, and it was argued by many well in.
formed persons that it would move eastward
rather than westward. Yet in 1880 it was found
to be near Cincinnati, and in the new census,
about to be taken, will show another stride to the
westward. That which was the body has come to
be only the rich fringe of the nations robe But
our growth has not been limited to territory, pop
ulation and aggregate wealth, marvellous as it has
been In each of these directions. The masses of
our people are better fed, clothed and housed
than their fathers were. The facilities for popu-
lar education have been vastly enlarged and more
generally diffused. The
