Morris tribune., 1889-03-06
When all had been settled, the presi-
dent-elect rose and the chief justice ad'
ministered to him the oath of office.

THE INAUGURATION SPEECH.
There is no constitutional or legal requirement.
that the president shall take the oath of Office in
the presence of the people. But there is so mani
fest am appropriateness in the public induction to
oce of the chief executive officer of the nation,
that from the beginning of the government the
people, TO whose service the official oath conse-
crates the officer have been called to witness the
solemn ceremonial. The oath taken in the pres
ence Of the people becomes ~~s
A MUTUAL COVENANT.
The officer covenants to serve the whole body Of
the people by faithful execution of the laws SO
that they may be the unfailing defense and secu-
rity Of those who respect and observe them and
that neither wealth, station nor the power of
combinations shall be able TO evade their just
penalties or to wrest them from a benefcent pub
lie purpose to serve the ends Of cruelty selfish
ness. My promiseis spoken; yours unspoken, but
not the less real and solemn. The people of every
state have here their Representatives, Surely
do not misinterpret the spirit of the occasion
when assume that the whole body of the people
covenant with me and with each other to-day to
SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION
and the union of the states to yield willing obe-
dience 10 the laws and each to every other citizen
his equal civil and political rights Entering thus
solemnly into covenant with each other. we may
reyerently invoke and confidently expect the
favor Of Almighty God. that He will give me
wisdom, strength and fidelity, and to our people
aspirit of fraternity and a love of righteousness
and peace. -.-.
This occasion derives peculiar interest from the
fact that the presidential term which begins to-
day Is the twenty under our constitution.
The first inauguration of President Washington
took place in New York, where congress was
then sitting, the 30th day of April 1889, having
been deferred by reason Of delays attending the
organization,of of the congress and the canvass of
the electoral vote. = = Twill not attempt to

the falls have receded at the rate of , 40
feet in a year The Horseshoe falls are at
the head of the gorge and the American
Falls at the Eastern side; but the time was

Delinquent Taxes.

LEXINGTON, Mo-, Aug. 10, 1889.
EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-Please inform
The public that all delinquent taxes must be
paid as follows: For the year 1887 and all
years back of it the taxes must be paid at
once as suit will be instituted thereon without
further notice as soon as the papers can be
made out. The new limitation law goes into
effect July, 1880, and as all taxes of 1887 and
back years have been consolidated IN one
book as the law directs, thisc ompels me to
m suit to prevent the statutes from
running. Thu delinquent taxes for 1888 must
be paid before the first of january, 1890, or
suit will be instituted Immediately thereafter
as the law requires l hope all those Inter-
ested will attend to the matter at once and
save costs. Fair warning. II any are caught
they will have none to blame but themselves.
