The duty devolved by law upon the President
to nominate, and by and with the advice and
consent Of the Senate to appoint, all public
officers whose appointment is not otherwise
provided for in the Constitution or by act of
Congress, has become very burdensome, and
its wise and efficient discharge full Of difficulty.

Of the applicants is impossible. The President

q right 1 think, to insist that those who volun-
teer or are invited to give advice as to appoint

A high sense Of duty and an ambition to i'm

urged.
have altogether rejected the suggestion of
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 enacted by Congress. These
laws are general and their administra-
ton should be uniform and equal. As citi-
zen 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 Constitution in its en-
tirety and the whole code of laws enacted under
it. The evil example of permitting in
dividuals, corporations or communities
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 to
those who use this pernicious expej
dent to escape their just obliga
tions or to obtain an unjust advantage over
others. They will presently themselves be
compelled to appeal to the law for protection,
and those who would use the law as defense
must not deny that use Of it to others.

Shall the prejudices and paralysis of slavery
continue to hang upon the skirts Of progress?
How long will those who rejoice that slavery
no longer exists cherish or tolerate the inca
pacities it put upon their communities? look
hopefully to the continuance Of our protec-
tive system, and to the consequent de-
velopment Of manufacturing and min
ing enterprises in the states, hitherto
wholly given to agriculture, as a potent infiu-
ence in the perfect unifcation of our people,
The men who have invested their capital in
these enterprises, the farmers who have felt
the benefit of their neighborhood, and the
men who work in shop or field, will not
fail to find and to defend commu-

sible that the farmers and the promoters Of

defense as well as for his own? 1 do

now accept the tariff views of Clay and the
constitutional exposition Of Webster, would

knowledge as to what they are. The privileges
Of American citizenship are so great and its du-
ties so grave that We may well insist upon a
good knowledge Of every person applying
for citizenship and good knowl-
edge by him Of our institution. We should
not cease to be hospitable to immigration, but
We should cease to be careless as to the charac-
ter of it. There are men of all races, even the
best, whose coming is necessarily q burden
upon our public revenue or threat to social
order. These should be identified and excluded.
We have happily maintained a policy Of
avoiding all interference with European affairs
We have been only interested spectators Of
their contention in diplomacy and in war,
ready to use our friendly offices to promote
peace, but never obtruding our advice and
never attempting unfairly to coin the distresses
OF other powers into commercial advantage
to ourselves. We have just right to expect
THAI our European policy will be the American
policy of European courts. It is so manifestly
incompatible with those precautions for our
peace and safety which all the great powers
habitually observe and enforce in mat
ters affecting them, that shorter
waterway between our eastern and
western seaboards should be dominated by an
European government, that we may confidently
expect that such a purpose will not be enter
tained by any friendly power. We shall in the
future, as in the past, use every endeavor to

officer, and I shall expect those whom
may appoint to justify their selec-
ton by a conspicuous efficiency in the dis
charge of their duties. Honorable party serv-
ice will certainly not be esteemed by me q dis
qualification for public Office, but it will in no
case be allowed to serve as a shield of official

But shall need, and the heads Of the depart

fore, be the best support Of an application for
Office. Heads of departments, bureaus, and all
other public officers, having any duty con-
nected Herewith, will be expected to enforce
the civil-service law fully and without evasion.
Beyond this obvious duty hope TO do some
thing more to advance the reform of civil
service. The ideal or even my own ideal

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 order and
prosperity. The evil works from bad
center, both ways. 1t demoralizes those who
practice it, and destroys the faith of those who
suffer by it in the efficiency of the law as safe
protector. The man in whose breast that faith
has been darkened is naturally the subject of
dangerous and uncanny suggestions. Those
who use unlawful methods, if moved by no
higher motive than the selfshness that
prompted them, may well stop and INQUIRE
what is to be the end Of this. An unlawful
expedient cannot become a permanent condi-
ton Of government. If the educated and in
huentisl classes in a community either practice
or connive at the systematic violation of laws
that seem to them to cross their convenience,
what can they expect when the lesson that con-
venience or supposed class interest is a sufi-
cient cause for lawlessness, has been weN

citizenship more careful and searching. Our

tions with all the great powers, but
they will not expect us to look kindly
upon any project that would leave us subject
to the dangers Of hostile observation or en-
vironment We have not sought to dominate
or to absorb any Of our weaker neighbors, but
rather to aid and encourage them to establish
free and stable governments, resting
upon the consent Of their own people,
We have clear right to expect, therefore,
that no European government will seek to
establish colonial dependencies upon the terri
tory of these Independent American states.
That which a sense Of justice restrains us from
seeking, they may be reasonably expected will
ingly to forego.
1t must not be assumed, however, that our
interests are 30 exclusively American that our
entire inattention to any events that may trans
pire elsewhere can be taken for granted. Our
citizens, domiciled for purpose of trade
in all countries and in many Of the island
OF the sea, demand and will have our
adequate care in their personal and commercial
rights. The necessities of our navy REQUIRE
convenient coaling stations and dock and harbor
privileges. These and other trading privileges
We win feel free to obtain only by means that do
not in any degree partake of coercion, however

INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.

AT Atdsybreak this morning the streets we're
hiied with moving crowds. Every variety OF
uniform, from the sober drab OF Quaker citv
political clubs 10 the sunset hues Of some OF
the pioneer clubs could be seen in the crowd.
Long lines OF people were streaming from the
depots, with gripsacks in their hands and
umbrellas under their arms. Az this time the
rain had ceased and the sky gave
some faint signs that the dsy might be clear.
These signs were exceedingly faint. however.
The sky was gray and filed with scurryins
clouds that tackled and veered with every change
OF the shifting trescherous breeze. A liftle st-
ter 8 O'Clock drizzling misty rain began 20
iail, which gave somewhat fOrlOru
and disconsolste tone 70 all the street
scenes. AT that time thousands of peo-
pie were thronging Pennsylyania ave.
nue. and chatting against the restraint Of the
wire rope. The grounds east Of the capitol
were then rapidly hlling with people already
assembling 20 witness 'he imposing ceremony
to take place there four hours later. Along

crowds were gathering and waiting patiently in
the rain. They had pl'nty 10 amuse them,

policemen and 3 thousand things % give ani-
nation to the scene. The roll OF drum.. the
piping Of flies and the blast OF t-um-
pets engaged the attention OF the ssr
IN every direction. IL was q strange
wonderful medley Of sights and sounds.
In the vicinity of the White House dense
masses OF people also began 10 gather early.
The rain changed from drizzle 20 q steady
pour, but the hundreds OF thousands of people
were undismayed. Brd's-eye views Il the
crowd where il was thickest showed only vast
field Of dripping umbrellas.
