cLEvELAND's FIRST INAUGURATION.

CLEvELAND's FIRST INAUGURATION.
augmrated upon day when it seemed as
though May instead Of March had come,
but the usual experience is either in
clement or chilly weather.
OF course preparations are being made
for an inaugural ceremonial without any
thought Of the weather. 1t is customary
for the citizens of Washington to ap-
point local committee, which is author
lied to take charge Of the military and
civic display. This committee appoints
subcommittee, to which are delegated
such duties as preparing for the inau-
gural ball, for invitations, for arranging
for the right of line and other places in
the line, and this committee has CO
operation with the government and the
committees of congress
Already it is made evident that the
military display will be quite as impos.
ing as any that have been made at pre-
vious inaugurations, while the indica-
tions are that the civic display may ex-
ceed in brilliancy and numbers any ever
witnessed in Washington upon similar
occasion.
The Washington committee has been
in communication with Mr.. Cleveland,
and some of the details of the cere-
mony have been determined. In some
respects these do not differ from those
which have characterized other in
augurations 1t has always been the
custom, for instance, for the president
elect upon his arrival in Washington
either to call in person or to send form
ally his card to the president Mr.. Lin
coin and Mr.. Buchanan exchanged calls
within few hours after Mr.. Lincoln's
arrival in Washington, and Lincoln was
greatly impressed with the courtesy and
consideration shown to him by the re-
tiring president. Mr.. Cleveland when
he arrived In Washington in 1885 called
early in the day upon President Arthur
and was cordially received, and before
an hour elapsed the president returned
the call. Cleveland was also invited to
dine with his predecessor, and after the
dinner, which was a delightful affair, he
retired with President Arthur to the
presidents private room, and there, cast
ing aside formalities, they renewed &C
quaintance begun years before and sat
chatting until far into the night.
Upon Mr.. Cleveland's arrival in Wash
ington, which will probably occur about
the Cd OF March, he will go the Airing

land was exceptionally fortunate when
he was first inaugurated. Those who
live in Washington look forward to
the inauguration ceremonial with
keenest anticipations Of pleasure, which
are always-tempered somewhat by
apprehension that the weather may be
bad. President Harrison was inaugu-
rated on day when the rain was both
heavy and chilly. Garfeld's Inaugural
ton took place amid the most unpleas-
ant atmospheric conditions, although
the rain did not fall until evening. The
day was raw and cloudy, and those who
were spectators suffered considerably,
-Esssssaasscially the company which was per-
mitted to sit upon the platform erected
ut the east portico, and upon which the
president stood when he took the oath
and delivered his inaugural
Perhaps the most trying Inauguration
day was that which occurred on the 4th
of March, 1878. General Grant was
then to take the oath of president for a
second time, and arrangements had been
made for very brilliant military and
civic display. On the evening of the Sd

sreasing in severity during the night, so
that on the morning of the 4th Washing
ton was suffering as it seldom suffers
from cold accompanied by high wind.
1t was as near an approach to a blizzard
as the capital has ever experienced. The
military suffered very greatly, some of
them were overcome with the cold, and
the cadets from West Point and the
naval academy who were not well pro
tected were completely demoralized,
some Of them suffering from frost bitten
ears and fingers. An immense throng
had gathered in Washington to witness
this ceremonial, but many did not dare
te venture forth and face the cold.
But when Cleveland appeared to take
the oath the sun smiled upon him. The
air was as balrny as it is in Washington
in May. The suggestion of summer was
given by the warmth of the day, by the
songs of the birds, and by the buds, which |
tempted by the warm south winds, were
almost ready to burst into early bios

portance as center of civil government,
but the history of the see Of Armagh is
more thoroughly Irish one. The pres
ent archbishop of Dublin stands in the
front rank of patriotic Irishmen, but
many of his predecessors were nothing
more than the bishops of foreign coll
ony planted in Ireland.
Before the Norman invasion Dublin
was q Danish city, and SO determined
were it's Danish rulers to hold themselves
apart from the "mere Irish that they
used to have their bishops consecrated
by some prelate on the other side of st.
Georges channel, and Dublin was prac-
tically, though not nominally, dependent
on Canterbury. After the Normans
came the archbishop Of Dublin was for
centuries the chief bishop of the Anglo
Norman sspale." Only in our time has
Dublin thrown off this tradition that
made it an un-Irish see. Catholic Re

Peace In Power.

Though it lash the shadows that line tile beach
Afar from the great sea deeps,
There Is never storm whose might can reach
Where the vast leviathan sleeps
Like mighty thought in a quiet mind,
In the clear, cold depths he swims,
Whilst above him the pettiest form of his kind
With dash o'er the surface skins.
There Is peace in power; the men who speak
With the loudest tongues do least;
And the surest sign of mind that Is weak
Is its want of the power to rest.
II Is only the lighter water that flies
From the sea on windy day,
And the deep blue ocean never replies
To the sibilant voice of the spray.
John Boyle O'Reilly.

Washington gets perfect illustration
of the truth which is contained in that
trite saying, THE king is dead; long live
the kingw on Inauguration Day. With
the administration Of the oath presi-
dent becomes private citizen, and al
private citizen becomes the occupant of
an office which Mr.. Abram S. Hewitt,
of New York, has described as the grand

FARMING NO LONGER LEADS

Aspufsctured Products Amount to Much
Moro in Yalue Than the Crops.
Agriculture is supposed to be the
foundation Of our progress and pros
perity, writes II. Fl. Edmonds In an ar.
ticle In the Engineering Magazine on
modern progress. This Is to large
oxtent true, md yet while the value of
our manufactured products in 1890 was
$500, ,oo0, 900 the totsl value of Our agri.
cultural products In that year was only
about $500, 900, ,ooo The opening up
OF new land by the heavy immigration
Into the west brought into cultivation
ten or more years ago larger area
than the consuming power Of this coun.
try and the. foreign demand added Jus.
titled.
In pamphlet recently published by
G. Wood Davis IL is shown that the area
cultivated In staple food crops increased
from 1875 to 1880 on an average Of 6.s
per cent. year, and since then has
steadily declined, having been 80 per
cent. from 1880 to 1885, and then IA per
cent. from 1885 to 1890. In other words
the total cultivated area is now in.
crensing much less rapidly than our
population.
OF course In view Of this the aRricul-
turnl productions Of the country do not
show any such phenomenal advance as
hos marked the growth Of industrial
interests. The total value Of all ag-
rlcultural products In 1880 was esti.
mated ut s3,70o, 900, 900. James Il.

tural department, estimated the value

GETTING RID OF TENANTS.

An "Eiectment Company. Which Con-
ducts Novel Business In Boston.
Boston has an "ejectment company"
which removes tenants ''at reasonable
rates" Ninety per cent. of the elected
are found among the poor. "The first
thing ask Client" said the manager
OF this novel business to a New York
Evening Post man, sis whether the OBJ
noSlous tenant has q lease. About
ninety-nine in one hundred of the
poorer classes do not. All right, then,
he gives me lease of the premises
and remember, 1t isn't a bogus lease,
because the law says q lease may be
made out for the purpose Of gaining
possession OF a place in this manner.
Then we give the tenants notice. They
usually laugh at it nd tear it up. All
right. We wait awhile, then we serve
writ on them. That usually does the
work, although they usually stay until
the last minute. If they do not 90 we
issue an execution, and that gives us
power to take the roof off the house.

that Pursell was without influence,
and was a traitor, and fraud, and
a snide and fool and wouldn't
show his colors, but we wouldn't
tell him so because he was, or said
he was, our friend and we hadn't
the heart, and we think it too bad
that Tony Barleon, Il Republican,
should do so.
We desire peace, we earnestly
desire tn at these brethren should
dwell in amity, but for Pursell to
fall on his face in the dust and
plead guilty to all of Tony's
charges, is degree of self-abnega-
tion on his part for which we were
totally unprepared, and hence our
sorrow breaks out in an uncon-
trollable torrent for the fallen
greatness and departed glory of
our brother.
We know that Barleonl is better
looking, better educated, more
brainy, and goes more tastefully
dressed than Pursell, but we think
it would have been better for Pur-
sell to have called Tony "another'
and retained what he had left of
his former dignity.

New Senator's.

This week several of the vacan-
,cies, caused by expiration of term
and death. in the U. S. Senate have
been filed.
In Texas, Senator Mills was al
most unanimously chosen to sue

vote of both houses with the eX-
ception of 10.

Mr.. Stewart was originally elected
AS Republican and acted in full
accord with his party until he join
ed hands with the Democratic Sen
ators to defeat the notorious force
bill, since that time he has acted
independently.
tHe is uncompromising in his adj
vocacy of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and his re-elec.
tion was accomplished by the free
silver party in his state over Mr.
Bartine who was the Republican
candidate, but received no votes.
West Virginia reelected Charles
j. Faulkner to the full term, and
Johnson M. Camden to fill vacancy
caused by the death of Senator
Kenna. The notorious Stephen B
Elkins and Edwin Maxwell were
the Republican candidates.

which only II gross breach Of the
faith the Government owes the peo-
pie gives the name of money or al
lows to circulate at all.
The issue is between the money
of the mint and the National Bank
note, so that it costs the people Il
double interest. The intention of
the money dealers is to force, if
possible, fictitious issue between
the National Bank shinplaster and
the State Bank shinplaster in the
expection that in the choice be-
tween two evils the people will ac-
cept National Bank control of the
currency as Iless evil than mis-
celaneous wildcatting. If they
fail-as they we'll to convince the
country that piece of paper issu-
ed by National Bank is better
money than the dollar issued by
the mints of the people, they will
begin to press the issue for State
Bank notes, and, the number of
financial idiots being practically
infinite, they may meet with what
may look for II time like success.
But they will not charge the
real issue, nor will they prevent
people from at last understanding
what is it. The question has sec
tional aspects which will finally
defeat their plans, for neither State
Bank notes nor National Bank
notes nor any other kind of notes
whatever will move out an increas-
ing quantity of the surplus pro-
ducts of the Mississippi Valley
Exporting States. No amount Of
note printing will bring down the
price of gold, forced up by the
demonetizati0n of silver. And be-
fore there can be any permanent
advance in the price of our export
ed surplus of wheat, cotton and
other agricultural products the
price of gold must come down to
it's natural level. Before that is
possible the mints must be opened
and silver must be coined to the
limit of the supply.
On that issue, when once it is for
ced, the Valley States will be solid,
and they will crnsh the life out of
any party that tries to substitute Il
private paper currency for the
money of the peoples mints.

Senator Carlisle

The announcement thai Senator
Carlisle will soon become the Sec
,retary of the Treasury gives salts
faction to the county.
No man in the States, perhaps in
the world, is better qualified to
make an efficient manager of the
finances Of the people.
No public man in this country
has given the subject of commerce
and revenue more thorough and
.diligent investigation and study
and no one knows better than he
the effect of the high tariff system
on both domestic and foreign trade
and on the public revenues.
In his new position he will have
a better opportunity to become ac-
quaInted with the absolute needs
of the government and how to pro-
vide for those needs with the least
possible burden on the labor Of the
country, and such measures of
tariff and revenue reform as may
be suggested or formulated by him
will come from the mind Of mast
ler Of the subject.
The one undesirable feature Of
the condition is that we loose the
strength of Mr.. Carlisle in the SEN
ate, but we hope that the sterling
