Inauguration Festivities.

y There are some ultra radical people
who think it out of keeping with re-
publican simplicity of ann that
he President of the United States
hould be inaugurated with pompous
ceremonial, decked with Haunting
banners and inspirited with martial
lusic. We wholly differ from such
eople. We think the Inauguration of
President is an event of such
lemnity that it cannot well be
eumstance of p~ageantry, which
rves as a symbol to the general eye
the innate lmportance of the thing.
rlere are multitudes of people who
Castitutionally take a superficial
FLEW of things, and to such as these
the thunder OF cannon and the tramp
of marching men convey lessons re-
garding the grandeur, freedom and sta
bility of their government which they
would never gather from the study Of
the Constitutional functions underly-
ing the occasion.
Neither do we think the Inaugural
ton ball IN inappropriate festivity.
The occasion is in reality a joyous one
though, of course, not SO joyous as if a
Democratic President were to be in
a~ugurated. Every recurrence of the
Presidential election affords the people
70 fresh guarantee of the beneicence of
bAeir institutions, by which they regu-
VA the current of their own fortunes
peacefully and thoughtfully at reason
able intervals.
This is a day IN which every AmeS
rican citizen should feel a special pa
<triotic pride, and anything that may
be done to render it's observance i'm
pressiye is in entire with
the spirit Of the government and in
situations under which we live and
prosper.

THE New York sun of yesterday
vas kind enough to use several of our
good stories of Saturday. Among them
were the accusation against Furniture
Dealer Hanley Of trying to bride a
juror, the trouble over Assemblyman
Feeney's little joke, and the investiga-
ton Of charges of bribery against two
Bayonne justices.
Imitation, they say, is the s%incerest
form of fiattery, and so we are obliged
to the Sun for reprinting u news.

THE STAGE AND THE PUBLIC.

THE STAGE AND THE PUBLIC.
1t is a moot question whether the stage
influences the public or the public inhu-
ences the stage. Possibly the influence
is mutual and equal so that the one has
no advantages over the other. There is
no question that the public has exercised
great influence, recently, on stage car
pentry and on its mechanical and scenic
effects. There is no question that the
public taste has advanced so that better
lighted, better ventilated and cleaner
play houses and more comfortable seats
must be provided. These improvements
have been apparent within the last de-
cade.
But it is a question IL the best playing
has advanced within the last three de-
cades. There is no question that Booth
and Barrett put Julius Cesar" on the
stage with more historic accuracy, more
attention to details, with larger and
more competent corps of players than
was ever known before but 1t is doubt
full II Booth and Barrett are more
scholarly or more skillful than Kemble,
Macready and Kean. There is no doubt
that Irving expends ten, perhaps one
hundred times as much money
and labor on Hamlet" without
representing the Dane any better-any
more beautifully, any more pathetically
than Forrest. II is thesame all through
the list, including Mary Anderson. Joseph
Jefferson, Modieska, Salvini, Bernhardt
and Coquelin.
Then the question CONES has this age
improved in art at all, or simply in the
accessories Of srtf 1t is certain that
Ristori moved the world TO tears as
quickly as Mary Anderson. It is certain
that Kean was rs silver-tongued and as
histrionic as Booth. But the average
player Of to-day is probably a vast inn
provement on the average player Of fifty
years ago. The quirks and jibes Of tn,
low comedy of to day are not so vulgar
and so offensive to good taste as the joke
of the best players Of the Elizabethar

A PEACH CROP ESTIMATE.
An Experts Opinion-YslIows Caused b.
Cold Winters.

al EAperIs OpInlon-fcloWs Caused by
Cold Winters.
An expert on peach culture who has
made tour through the great peach sec
tion Of Maryland and Delaware, convers-
ing about the peach crop said yesterday
There is a full crop of peaches on the
majority of orchards from Wyoming
running east to Frederick. The estimates
of the peach crop along the Delaware
railroad places most of the peaches in the
vicinity of Milford station. Milford comes
second in the yield, while Georgetown
Bridgeville and Laurel stations
compete for the next largest growth.
West of the railroad there are very few
peaches. The present estimates also
show that from Clayton south there will
be about one fourth of last years yield.
The crop for Wyoming Station is vari-
ously put at 800, 900 to 500, 900 baskets.
On the Eastern Shore of Maryland, in
peach producing counties of Queen
Anne, Caroline and Talbot, according to
the judgment of Superintendent Mills of
the Delaware Railroad, the yield will
only be about one fourth of what it was
last year.
A conspicuous popularity about the
fruit this year is that only in orchards on
high land are peaches plentiful. The or
chards on low lands are remarkable for
sterility Peach growers assign as rea-
son for this that the trees on the low lands
bloomed later than those on the high
lands and were caught in the heavy rain
storms and the petals were injured.
In my tour through the peach sections
