Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1889-03-15

WASHINGTON, March Sit was nearly 9
O'Clock when the crowd about the great
Capitol began to thicken. Streams of rest
less humanity had poured down the broad
walks toward the avenue and swelled the
great black river there. The great terrace
on the west front bad been dotted with sight
seers from early morning, and they had lin
gered about the platform that stretched out
from the east front of the building. But it
was nearly Q o'clock when the throng COM
mecced to grow dense, and the struggle for
breS,tng room began. At the entrance of
the scdse and senate, cordons of police kept
back the crowd and REINFORCED the door
keepers. Although the doors were not to be
opA'.ed until 10 o'clock, ticket holders began
assemble long before that hour

Justice lller. The srua orial committee on
arrangements stood behind and on either
side OF tbs president, while Sergeant at Arms
Canaday, with RAISED umbrella, stood
directly behind Gen. Harrison and protected
him to some extent from the driving
storm. When silence had been partly
secured, the chief justice arose, and barring
his abundant white locks to the rain held
bible in his right hand, ready to administer
the oath of office. Gen. Harrison and
Sergeantat-Arms Canaday also removed
their hats 1t was a most impressive scene.
Standing with uncovered heads, in the
midst of a peltng rain storm that drove the
mist In their faces, the chief justice and the
president-elect faced each other with bowed
heads, while the former read the oath Of
office in low tone of voice. The oath re.
cited was as follows:
II do solemnly swear that will faithfully
execute the Office of President of the United
States and will, to the best of my ability,
preserve. protect and defend the constitution
of the United States"

The principal attraction of course, was at
the senate chamber, where the vice president
was to be sworn. Little more than 1900
tickets had been issued to those who were
entitled to view the proceedings there They
included the members of the senate, ex -sena-
tors and other distinguished persons, who
were to be admitted to the floor, friends of
senators and representatives to whom the
privileges Of the gallery had been extended,
members Of the press and others. An effort
had been made by the inaugural committee
to confne the issue Of tickets to a compare
lively small number, so that the capacity Of
the senate chamber and the galleries should
not be overta xed. At 10 o'clock the east
doors of the senate wing of the Capitol were
thrown open. and the visitors began to pour
in. The tickets which they carried were of
various colors, to indicate the particular
place to which each was entitled to admit
lance.
The galleries filled very quickly. The doors
of the senate chamber had not been opened
Couches had been placed in the semi-circular
space in front of the platform occupied by
the presiding officer and the clerks. In the
center of this space were placed seats to be
occupied by the president and president
elect Between the chairs usually occupied
by members of the senate had been placed
other seats, and, directly behind the last of
the senator's desks had been placed num-
Der of couches and chairs. Before IL o'clock.
the hour when the senate doors were thrown
open, the public galleries were nearly full
There were number of visitors in the diplo-
matte gallery, and the only one which was
empty was the one just west of the dplo-
matte gallery and almost directly opposite
the presiding officer which had been reserved
for the families Of the president and president
pro ten of the senate, the president elect and
the vice president-elect and of the ex-presi-
dent and ex-vice presidents of the United
States
Meantime the members of the diplomatic
corp, had assembled in the marble room. and
at II rs O'Clock the senate was called to order
by S,nator ingalls,, and the senators rose as
the diplomats en'ered. Many of tn. m were
in military attire, the Chinese in their silken
robes, and the Coreans with their funny
brd-cage hats. The members of the corns
We're shown to the seats in the first two rows

Shortly after they were seated the retired
general of the army, the major general of
the army commanding, and the admiral of
the navy, entered. They were received by
die senators sanding, and were shown to
seats arranged in the semicircle in front and

l have altogether rejected the suggestion Of
a special executive policy for any section Of
our country. 1t is the duty of the executive
to administer and enforce, in the methods
and by the instrumentalities pointed out and
provided by the constitution, all the laws en-
acted by congress. These laws are general,
and their administration should be uniform
and equal As citizen may not elect what
laws he will obey, neither may the executive
elect which he will enforce. The duty to
obey and to execute embraces the constitu-
ton in its entirety and the whole code of
laws enacted under it. The evil example of
permitting individuals, corporations or COM
munities to nullify the laws because they
cross some selfish or local interests or preju-
dices is full of danger, not only to the nation
at large, but much more 30 those who use
this pernicious expedient to escape their just
obligations or to obtain an unjust advantage
over others. They will presently themselves
be compelled to appeal to the law for pro
lection, and those who would use the law as
a defense must not deny that use of it to
others. II our great corporations would
more scrupulously observe their legal obliga-
tons and duties, they would have less cause
to complain of the unlawful limitations Of
their rights, or of violent interference with
their operations
The community that by concert, open or
secret. among its citizens, denies to portion
of its members their plain rights under the
law, has severed the only safe bond Of social
