Influenced by familiarity with perversion

Anxiety of the redemption of pledges

work which has been especially set before
Ts, only by most sincere, harmonious
and disinterested effort. Even if the in
separable objects and opposition prevent
the contamination of our task, we shall
hardly be excused; and if the failure can
be traced to our fault or neglect, we may
be sure the people will hold US to swirl

"The oath | now take, to preserve, pro-

s'My Fellow Citizens: In obedience to
the mandate of my countrymen. / am
about to dedicate myself to their service
under the sanction of a solemn oath.
Deeply moved by the expressions of con-
fidence and personal attachment which
has called me to this service, l am sure
my gratitude can make no better return
than the pledge L now give before God
ana these witnesses of the unreserved and
complete devotion TO the interests and

deem it fitting on this occasion, while
indicating the opinions | hold concern
ing public questions of present impor-
lance, to also briefly refer TO the existence
of certain conditions and tendencies
among our people which seem to menace
the integrity and usefulness of their gov
eminent.
ssWhile every American citizen must
contemplate with the utmost pride and
enthusiasm the growth and expansion of
our country, the sufficiency of our insti-
buttons to stand against the rudest shocks
of violence, the wonderful thrift and en-
terprise OF our people, and the demon
strated superiority of our free govern
ment, 1t behooves US to constantly watch
for every symptom of insidious infrmity
that threatens our national vlgor.
- a strong man VINO III the commence
of sturdy health, courts the sternest
activities of life and rejoices in the hardi-
hood of constant labor, may still have
lurking near his vitals an unheeded
disease that dooms him to sudden col
lapse. 1t cannot be doubted that our
stupendous achievements as people and
our country's robust strength, have
given rise to heedlessness of those laws
governing our national health, which we
can no more evade than human life can
escape the laws of God and nature.
"Manifestly nothing is more vital to
our supremacy as a nation and to the
beneficent purposes of our government
than sound and stable currency. Its ex-
posure to degradation should at once
arouse to activity the most enlightened
craftsmanship; and the danger of depre-
citation in the purchasing power of wages
paid for toll should furnish the strongest
incentive to prompt, conservative pre-
caution in dealing with our present en-
barrassing situation as related to this
subject. we will be wise if we temper our
confidence and faith in our national
strength and resources, with frank con-
cession even to these will not permit US to
DEFY with impunity the memorable laws
OF finance and trade.
SAT the same time, in our efforts to ad-

realize the Importance of checking at its
beginning any tendency in public or pri-
vate station to regard frugality and
economy as virtues which we may safely
outrun. liberation of this idea results in
waste of the peoples money by their
chosen servants, encourages prodigality
and extravaganza in the home life OF our
countrymen. Under our scheme of gov
eminent the waste of public money is a
crime against any citizen; and contempt
of our people for economy and frugality
in their personal affairs deplorably saps
the strength and sturdiness of our ma
tional character. IL is the plain dictate of
honesty and good government that public
expenditures should be limited by public
necessity, and that this should be meas
ured by rules of strict economy. And it
is equally clear that frugality among the
people is the best guaranty of a contented
and strong support of free Institutions.
''One mode OF misrepresentation of
public funds is avoided when appoint-
nents to office, instead of being rewards
of partisan activity, are awarded to those
whose efficiency promises fair return of
work for the compensation paid them.
To secure fitness and competency of APP
pointeeS to office, and remove from polit-
zeal action the demoralizing madness for
spoils, civil service reform has found
place in our public policy and laws. The
DEMENT'S already gained through this IN
strumentality and the further usefulness
it promises, entities it to the hearty sup
port and encouragement of all who de-
sire to see our public service well per-
formed or who hope for the elevation of
political sentiment and the psriicatiorDof
political methods.
The existence of immense aggregations
of kindred enterprises and combinations
of business interests, formed for the pur-
pose of limiting production and fix
ing prices, is inconsistent with
fair field, which ought to
be open to every independent
activity. Legitimate strife in business
should not be superseded by enforced con-
cession to the demands of combinations
that have power to destroy; nor should
the people to be served lose the benefit of
cheapness which usually results from
wholesome competition These aggrega-
lions and combinations frequently consti-
tute conspiracies against the interests of
the people, and in all their phases they
are unnatural and opposed to our Ameri
can sense of fairness.
ssTo the extent that they can be reached
| or restrained by federal power the general
government should relieve our citizens
| from their interference and exactions.

parade. He stood on a stand in the
face of a bowling wind, impassive
and dignified, not seeming to mind the
cold and the waves of drifted snow that
were carried in his face. His Overcoat
was buttoned tightly about his throat
during the whole time the parade was
passing, and stood IN one position and
carefully scanned the lines of marching
men. When darkness fell upon the
scenes President Cleveland was almost
the last to leave the stand.
He returned to the White House and
sat down to family dinner. There were
present the president and wife, Mr.. and
Mrs. Perrine, Mr.. and Mrs. Dickinson.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lamont, Miss Saunders
Mrs. Lamont's cousin and guest), Pri-
vate Secretary Thurber and the Misses

follows a badge of citizenship wherever
found, and unimpaired by race or color,

manllness and fairness.

Cleveland turned around to the chief
justice, who was attired in the robes OF
his Office, to take the oath prescribed by
the constitution. Chief Justice Fuller
and other persons near to the president
removed their hats and with barred heads
listened to the taking OF the oath of office,
which was pronounced by Chief Justice
Fuller in clear voice, Cleveland assent
ing to it by bowling his head and kissing
the Bible. The Bible used in the cere
mony was given President Cleveland by
his mother forty mine years ago. By his
special request it was eight years ago put
to the same service for which it was used

possibly be, there would probably have

the parade, against %, 600 in 1885. They
were all waiting to fall in line, but at the
last moment some of the organizations
were compelled to desist from participat-

memorable by the vast attendance New

and South Carolina and Louisiana in the
south, Wisconsin IN the west, par
ticipated in the ceremonies, there

unity.
The morning opened with heavy fall
of wet snow. melting as it fell. The mill
tary presented a wintry appearance, with
snow-covered overcoats, the guns OF the
artillery covered with tarpaulins, and
snow covered. The concourse in the
streets were almost all under umbrellas,
which were little protection against the
snow, driven before the wind. A force OF
men were kept at work on the inaugural
stand, clearing away the snow, it having
been announced that the ceremonies
would be held out of doors in spite of the
weather.
At IL O'Clock the Senate committee on
inaugural arrived at the Arlington hotel
and soon after magnificent four-in-
hand. Into this at 11:30 Mr.. Cleveland
entered, accompanied by the committee.
1t was thrilling scene. Just as he APP
peared at the entrance to the hotel Mrs.
Cleveland, as he was on the point of de-
parture, threw her arms about his neck
and kissed him Godspeed repeatedly. It
was all done so simply and with such
wlfely devotion that there could be no
thought of intentional theatrical effect.
Then the carriage, with the president
elect and the committee, whirled away to
the White House, followed soon after by
Vice President Elect Stevenson and an
other section OF the committee, drawn by
four white horses, arriving at their desti-
nation very soon after that bearing the
president-elect.
The order of proceeding was almost
identically the same as four years ago,
with the action OF the chief participants
reversed, and differed very little, except
In the extent of the demonstration, from
the ceremonies of eight years ago, which
brought Cleveland to Washington Tor the
first time in his public career.

up by persons further removed who were
unaware of exactly what had been said.
His reference to the currency question

preceded by Grand Marshal Mcmahon and

to the salute, which was only redoubled.
A brigade of regulars then preceded the
presidential party toward the capitol,
followed by the vice-president-elect and
the committee on arrangements, bril-

received with almost as much enthusiasm
as his chief.

IN THE SENATE.
The Chamber Packed When the Vice
President Was Sworn In,

The Senate began to fill early and the
galleries were packed long before the
hour for the ceremonies to begin. Many
distinguished persons filed them, includ-
ing the wives and families of the chief
actors in the national episode about to be
enacted on the floor, where soon were
seated the diplomatic corps, justices of the
supreme court, officers of army and navy,
mem bers OF Senate and House and other
distinguished personages.
The presidential party arrived at the
capitol shortly after noon and were given
a rafting volley of cheers as they entered
the building. Harrison went at once to
the presidents room, and began work on
pile of bills requiring his signature.
The tina was 50 short that it became nee
essary three times to turn back the hands
of the clock to preserve the igment that
it was not noon. Meantime, Cleveland
and Stevenson went to the vice presi-
DENTS room and spent the time chatting
with callers.

Procession Moves.
The troops, who had been stamping
their feet trying to keep warm, formed in
line, and at 2 O'Clock, after the usual
riding about of orderlies, the line of pro-
cession started, General Mcmahon, grand
marshal, leading The way. followed by his
staff. At the Senate wing of the capitol
the marshal and aides halted until Presi-
dent Cleveland and Mr.. Harrison could
enter their carriage and take their places
in line. The first division, consisting OF
uniformed troops, moved down the hill,
around the capitol, to the peace monu-
ment on Pennsylvania avenue, where
other organizations fell in line and began
their march up the broad asphalt avenue
towards the White House.
The guns at Fort Meyer, Washington
barracks, and at the navy yard, which
Numbered cut the presidential salute
when Harrison left the White House,
again Numbered the presidential salute.

A BUFFET LUNCH.
An Elaborate Spread Served in DIorton's
Private Room.

After delivery of the inaugural address,
President Cleveland and ex-President
Harrison and party retired to the cham
Der, repairing at once to Morton S private
room. Here an elaborate buffet lunch
was ready and was speedily enjoyed.
After the lunch and few minutes spent
in chatting with those present, Cleveland
and Harrison emerged from the room. As
they buttoned up their coats and started
towards the basement stairs, Harrison
said to Cleveland, laughingly, ''We will
go to the White House now and turn
things over to you," and the two central
figures of today's American quadrennial
exhibition tripped lightly as boys down
the marble stairway and gained their
carriages.

There are four great features of inaugu-

and history is so frequently crowded; the
ride of the retiring president and presi-

their military escort, from the White
House to the capitol to lay down and take
up the reins OF power respectively; the
pageant of the returning procession after
Inauguration, and the inaugural bah at
night. The line of march is such as no
city except Washington, and no street
except its broad. well-paved Pennsyl-
vania avenue, could produce. The public
and private stands erected along the line
