particular measure, but public eXecu-
tive officer has one plain duty: 1t is to
enforce the laws with kindness and
forebarance, but with promptness and
inexorable decision. He may not choose
what laws he will enforce any more than
citizen may choose what laws ne will
obey. We have but one king; it is the
law passed by those constitutional meth
DDS which are necessary to make it bind
ing upon the people, and to that king
all men must bow. 1t is my great pleas
ure to find so generally everywhere a
disposition to obey the law. / have
but one message for the north
and for the south, for the east and for
the west,as l Tourney through the land 1t
is to hold up the law, and to say every
where that every man owes allegiance to
it, and that all law-breakers must be
left to the deliberate and safe judgment
of the established tribunals. You are
justly proud of your great state. Its
capabilities are enormous tits adaptations
to comfortable life are peculiar, and
five years will bring you increased pop
ulation and increased wealth. l hope
they will bring with it, marching in
the stately progress OF material things,
those finer things, piety, pure homes
all this state pride, over all our rejoicings
in the advantages which are about
us in our respective states, we look with
greater pride; we look to that greater
arch of government that unites these
states and makes of them all one great
nation. But my fellow-citizens, the
difficulties / see interposed between us
! and the train which is scheduled to de-
part very soon, the difficulties OF the
growing of the presence of this friendly
multitude, warn me to hurry these re-
marks to a speedy close. | beg again
most profoundly to thank you for this
evidence of your respect, this evidence
of your love for the institutions of our
common country"
INDIAN PUPILS ADDRETSED.

ocratic committee, waited on the presi-
dent and said they would escort him to

OREGON cITY's GREETING.
OREGON CITY, May 5.-Nowhere has
the president received a more cordial
greeting than was accorded him by the
pioneers and army veterans at Oregon
City. The mayor of the city delivered
an address of hearty welcome, and closed
by calling for three cheers for the presi-
dent. They were given with vim. The
president made an address, in which he
said 1.-THE interesting story of the
early settlement of Oregon, of the inter
national contest which for some time
threatened an international war, is
fresh in the minds of these pioneers,
and l am sure is taught these children
of your public schools. The work of
those who set up the American flag here
and who secured to us this fertile re-
gi0n. is worthy of mention and honora-
BILE recommendation by this generation.
Your state has added another to that
succession of kindly greetings which
began when we left the national capital.
We have come out OF land of irriga-
tion and roses into this land where the
Lord takes care OF the crops, and this
dependence upon the seasons is not
without it's instructive moral influences.
To the pioneers, to those who have en-
tered in with less labor to the inherit
ance left to them, to these children and
to these comrades OF the Grand Army,
give my most hearty greeting"
