THE INAUGURATIONS OF
1901 AND 1877.


Early on the morning of
March 4. 1901. President Ad-
ans left Washington without
waiting for the Inauguration
OF his successor. This strict
non-intcrcourse between Ad-
ans and Jefferson had lasted
thirteen years, and the retiring
Presidents abrupt departure,
despite Jcffcrson's advances,
indicated deep sense of per
sonal wrong on the part of
Adams which he retained to
the end of his life. In letters
written in 1904 Adams severely
criticizes Jeffcrson's thirst for
popularity, inordinatc ambi-
ton and want of sincerity.
Though dcligh,ing in ostcnta-
tious andambitious leadership,
the cx-Prcsidcnt ceased to be
champion of the Icderalists
and was forced into retirement
by the taunts and jecrs of his
political enemies. Adams was
CALLED to the quick by the
bowls of his own party. who
could forgive anything but
failure. Even in the old man
last hours. when he was at the
verge Of 90. his life was cmbit-
tered by the republication Of
old letters in 1928, which were
used as an argument against
his son, John Quincy Adams,
then chosen President by the
House of Representatives.
The inaugural OF none Of
the Presidents has produced
so great a sensation as that of
James Monroe. delivered on
March !, 1917. In this message,
the new President favored the
creation of an army sufficient
not only to garrison the forts
and arscnals, but also large
enough to meet the first inva-
sion of an enemy, and to serve
as the elements of a greater
force, which might preserve
the science as well as the nee.
essary implements of war. He
further recommended the con
struction of a navy sufficient
to maintain with dignity the
neutrality of the United States,
also to protect the property of
our citizens from spoiliation in
time OF peace with provision,
also of extension in case of
war. into an effective auxiliary
and a powerful engine of an
noyance. The President con
Guided with a mild recon-
mendation of protection for
American Industry. This
wholesale adoption of Federal
ideas made the President very
popular in New England. so
that when he visited Boston.
he was received with rapture
by all classes, and men who
hitherto would not speak to
each other or walk on the
same side of the street, now
met with smiling faces and Wed
with each other in extrava-
gance OF official adulation.

IMPROVING OUR OPPORTUNITY.

The Chamber of Commerce meeting with
regard to the entertainment of the delegates
TO the Pan-A. aerican Congress was more
prolific of suggestions than action. The one
step tn W S necessarily first, however, was
taken in the appointment of a Committee
on Programme, and the rest will follow upon
that.
The suggestions that were made were all
more or less valuable. The difficulty will
be to decide which can be adopted as
capable OF compression within the period of
a two days inspection. In that view the
suggestion OF an industrial exhibit at the
Exposition buildings is a valuable one. If
there is time to insure that it shall be
adequate, and to advertise it properly, such
an exhibit might be given a wider scope
than to serve merely for the entertainment
Of the Southern visitors. Concurrently
with them we might bring the buyers of
Pittsburg's products from all over the coun-
try, if the affair was properly planned and
carried out. The mechanical features of the
present Exposition might be made a
nucleus for this enterprise, and filed out
and enlarged. could present an exhibit of
Pittsburg products that would spread the
fame of our city everywhere.
Whether this idea is adopted or NOT, it is
a good sign that we are awakening to the
Importance of improving every opportunity
to put our conservative old city in its best
light before the world.

Adventure of a scnpegracc.

A red-haired, harum-scarum little Scotch
girl of Is years has been running wild in the
rooms of Mr.. Gerry's humane society for sew
eral weeks. Her name Is Maggie Stewart, and
her home is in Glasgow. She ran away from
her parents TO escape being whipped for drop
ping jug of milk. She sneaked into first
class carriage at the Glasgow railway station,
and was carried for nothing to Greenock.
Thence she sailed as a stowaway to Belfast,
where she boarded a boat for Fleetwood. The
passengers on the Fleetwood steamship paid
her fare fed her, and gave her small purse.
She beat her way to several other towns, aDd
eventually brought up In Liverpool She
drifted on board the Inman liner City OF New
York, with crowd OF passengers one morning,
and hid herself SO cleverly thai she was not
found till the steamship was almost two days
out. She stole away from the steamship at the
New York dock, while the steward in charge

THE BEST TIME TO DO IT.

A little examination of the blocks
within a square of the Court House
show that considerable is now being done in
the way of tearing down old buildings and
putting up more modern ones, and that more
will have to be done soon.
Probably among the stores in that section
there are not half dozen that will not re-
quire practical reconstruction in order to be
brought up to the progress of the day. That
reconstruction has been long delayed by the
tendency of the section to lag behind the
other business quarters Of the city. But
cursory examination will show that it is be-
ginning now in almost every square next to
the Court House.
This fact should have decisive influence
on the reduction of the grades about that
building The necessity of rebuilding is
almost universal in the hump section; the
work can be stimulated and made more gen.
eral by bringing down the grades; and, when
it is done, the conversion of the district into
frst-class business property will be more
complete than ever. Every new building
that is put up before the hump is cut down
adds to the difficulty of reduction on the
one hand, and BY SO doing decreases its own
chances of gaining the full value which
property would attain there, with the proper
improvement.
Now is the time to cut down the hump.
That fact should be kept before the public
as public issue.
