There was squeeze in money on
Wall street to-day. Rates for call
loans advanced to so per cent. before
1880 this morning. This tightness of
money has been anticipated. The re-
cent exports of gold and the heavy
shipments Of funds to the interior cities
have reduced the surplus reserves of
the city banks to S6,f17,375. Practi-
eally all of this is held in gold by two

How TIE Urn OF THIS MONTH CANE TO
BE INAUGURATION DAY.-Thcre has been an
impression in the minds of many people that
the 18th day of March was selected as the time
for the inauguration of our Presidents be-
cause it falls on Sunday only once in q great
many years. Repeatedly this statement has
been made in newspapers, but 1t seems to be
erroneous.
The 4th of March AS Inauguration Day is
not provided for in any law, rs being different
from any other day on Which an inaugural
ton could fall. In i1SS tue Congress Of that
day-thc Constitution having already been
adopted-passed law to put in operation the
new government. That law fixed three diff
fercnt prospective dates and when certain po-
litical acts were to be performed.
The first was i'll relation TO choosing cleo
tors in all the States. The first Wednesday
in March, 1899, was the time for putting in
operation the new government.
The second act fixed the the first WedncS-
day in February as the time for the electors
TO cast the votes for President and Vice
President.
The third fixed the first Wednesday in
March for commencing proceedings under the
Constitution, and that day happened TO fall
nn the 4th of March. On the same day the
Presif ent was inauguratcd, and the day has
never been changed. 1t often falls on Sun
lay, and four or five inaugurals have been on
sunday. Dir. Hayes was sworn in on sunday,
March 4, 1877. and the next day Monday
he was formally inaugurated with all the at
tending ceremonies.

IT TURNS out that Mr.. john S. Wise
of New York was only joking when he
said he had joined the Cleveland wing
of the democratic party. His latest ex-
preston on the subject of his politics is
as follows:
NO Tammany, no free trade, no
hatred of the United States, no ballot
box stuiling for me if you please. Be
cause the tag-rag gang ran over US IN
the last election, they are no better
than they were and don't like them
bit better than l did l left the demo-
Gratis deliberately and until death us
doth part.
And vet before the democrats of
Richmond chose General Johnston for
their congressional representative IN
preference to Mr.. Wise, and before MI
Wise had been black-balled by the
Westmoreland Club of that city, he said
southern republicans were apostates
for the price of their apostacy."

As LONG anticipated by the GAZETTE,
the bin to allow the Norfolk and West
crn Railroad to enter the District of
Columbia via Georgetown rather than
this city, failed to become a law. If
the bill be changed so as to provide
that the road, on its way to Washington.
shall pass through Alexandria, most all
the objection to it would be removed,
and much of the influence that pre-
vented its passage by the Congress that
has Just adjourned, would be cheerfully
used in its favor, and the nece 's.ty for
the maintenance of an expensive lobby
for any such purpose he avoided.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND in his inau-
oural address madeno allusion TO the
Sandwich Islands annexation. 1t can
hardly be that heiavors any such scheme
unless it be by the well ascertained
consent of the legitimate rulers and
people of those islands. for to do so I'M
less compelled by the law of self-pre-
servation would be to set at nausht all
precedent. and to commit gross out
rage upon a friendly nation, and justly
forfeit the respect of the civilized world;
and no disinterested man says that law
necessitates any such action.

As STATED in the GAZETTE last Sat
urdav, and as anticipated by it weeks
before, the bill for a bridge across the
Potomac at Arlington failed to pass the
52nd Congress, That bridge should
be built there "goes without saying,
and the friends of the bill referred to
should have it reintroduced on the very
first day of the session of the 53rd Con-
gress, whenever that shall be. With

fore that session, too, shall adjourn, for

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 6.
SENATE

The crowd which packed the Senate
galleries this morning, and the multi
tude of people that surged through the
corridors and on the staircases of the
Capitol furnished evidence that many
thousands of the strangers who had
come to Washington to witness the in
augural ceremonies, have not yet lett
the city and were determined to enjoy
as much of the show as might still be
presented. When Vice President
Stevenson made his appearance in com
pany with the Rev Mr.. Butler, chap
lain of the Senate, the spectators IN the
galleries could not restrain their impa-
tiel enthusiasm and broke into q round
Of hand-clapping. This ceased only
when the prayer began, and was re-
newed when the Vice President, at the
close of prayer, took his place as pre-
siding officer.
When order was restored Secretary
McCook read the journal of Saturday
last. Then Senators Blackburn and
Allison reported that, as the committee
which had been appointed to wait upon
the President Of the United States, they
had performed that duty and had been
requested by the President to inform
tho Senate that he would communicate
Immediately in writing. Immediately
afterwards Mr. Pruden, one of the
Presidents secretaries, appeared and de
livered message from the President OF
the United States, transmitting the
nd tbapaIIrnn fDp
Senate went into executive session.
The doors had been closed about l.
minutes and then they were reopencd,
the cabinet having been in the mean
time unanimously confirmed.
Mr.. Call introduced the resolution
which he had offered last session i'll re-
ation to the public lands in Florida
and to the interference of railroad com
panies in that State with the election
of Senators; but objection was made
by Dir. Wolcott, and the resolution
went over without action.
Mr.. Sherman said that he desired to
introduce n joint resolution to amend
the constitution.
Mr.. Harris-"Did l understand the
Senator to say joint resolution 2"
Mr.. Sherman-"Yes, | simply want
to introduce it for reference.
The joint resolution was read. 1t
proposes that the terms of office of the
President and Vice President and OF
the 5ith Congress shall continue until
noon of the both Of April, 1897; that
the Senators whose terms would expire
on the lth of March 1897 shall continue
in office until noon of the 30th of April;
and that that time shall hereafter be
substituted for the 18th of March as the
commencement and termination Of the
official terms Of the President, Vice
President, Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress.
Mr.. Harris-''Let the joint resolu-
ton lie on the table for the present. "
The joint resolution was laid on the
table and then, at 1875, the Senate adj
lourned until Thursday next at noon.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND, as was eX-
pected, has again declared in favor OF
low tariff, of good money, of govern
mental economy, and of the purging of
the pension list Each of these meas
ures is intended to remedy existing
evils, and, what's more, would do so.
But if an evil exist, common sense
teaches the wisdom Of curing it at once,
lest its ravagcs become SO great that the
wreck it leaves will be hardly worth
preserving. The sooner therefore the
remedies be applied the better. The
President is the physician, and an early
extra session of the new Congress is the
means by which the specific remedies
he prescribes can be administered.

Mr.. CLEvELAND'S BIBLE. The BIZ
BILE used in the inaugural ceremony on
Saturday, was given President Clevc-
land by his mother forty-one years ago.
By his special request it was eight years
ago put to the same service for which it
was used Saturday. Saturday morning
it was brought to the Capitol and
delivered to Mr.. James Mcl>enney,
Clerk of the United States Supreme
Court, with message stating that it
was Mr.. Glevcland's wish that the
Chief Justice use the book in the cere-
monies. A new Bible had been pur-
chased for the occasion, as had been
done eight years ago, for presentation
to the President, but of course it was
not used after Mr.. Cleveland had sig
nifed his preference for the use of his
mothers gift.
The book used is gilt edged black
leather covered volume about five by
three inches in dimensions, and in gen
eral appearance is in no way to be dis
tinguished from Bibles frequently car
ried to church by ladies. Its edges are
worn with handling and ON the front
cover is stamped in small gold let
tiers IS. G.. Cleveland. Near the top
of the nylcaf is this inscription in
small irregular feminine hand, :. G.
Cleveland from his allcctionate mother,
February, 1852.
On the next page to the nyleaf is a
written statement signed by Mr.. Nc
Kcnney stating that upon this Bible
Grover Cleveland was sworn into of
flee as President ofthe United States by

Supreme Court Of the United States,
