TRE INAUGURATION.

TIE INAUGURATION.
Governor Murphy ]. Foster was
Hnaueursted At Baton Rouge, amid
zach sceaea ~ were never before
Witnessed At any Inauguration of a
governor oftbis state, and could not
Be surpassed By any other state The
city 81 Baton Rouge was literally
crowded; people from every part Of
tho state were there 10 witness and
70 assist il installing ihe choice
ofths people of 3 governor for The
next fonr years.
We hare read the goyernof's ad I
dress and Gao say that 10 Il, hemalses
no promises that be does not fully
intend 10 carry ont. The following
extract will show what bis policy viii
Be, and We cannot see how be eonld
vel have gone further
Emaneipaled from the influence Of
The lottery, and justly rejoicing in the
splendid victory won BY her cilizene,
oan soc no reason why there. should
not be 3 briIlisnt future for our state.
Ioaid the onward course Of this
people, no far as in me lies, shall be
my earnest and constant effort
Two great policies, one ihe hand
maid Of the other, strike me as most
Eequifing attention. These are, first,
the encouragement of immigration,
end, second, the fostering Of our pub
llo school syslem.
Onr need for the help Of increased
population is self evident. 0tIer
asates have felt the marvellous benefits
which result from the caming II Of an
aetiye and laborous population, who,
joining their dsstinIes with those OF
tbe people Of their adoption, have
built up waste plscop, established ID.
dnstries, and latd the foundation of an
enduring prosperity.
There Is no othsr state 10 the union
Offering more substantial Inducements
70 immigrants than This. Dor fertile
coil, our genial climate, the diversity
Of orr agricultural interests, The
waaith Of orr forests, railway and
water facilities, and the readiness with
which honest labor finds remnneraiiYe
employmsni, will surely attract an
industrious and thrifty yeomaBry 10
bnild up happy homes 10 our midst
and increase the wealth Of the stale.
VAST areas Of onr fertile lands are
lying 10 waste and idlepess, and the
energies Of this administration will be
devoted 10 the settlement and dege!.
opment Of these lands BY 40 intelligent
population aided by eapltal. which
will here fiud safe Investment and
FemRneFslige getuFns.
AZ ~ indneement thereto, every
eiloFt should be made to enlarge and
improve orr common school system.
We cannot expect people TO caal their
sate with as unlsas we can offer 10
their children the .priceleas benefits
Of education. We cannot expect The
youth Of onr own state 10 take % The
noble tEaditionsof their fathers and
70 aet well their part IN the future
naless We afford them adequate facili
ties % obtain q good common school
education.
