criminals to be employed in the
mandatory Of goods to clothe
themselves and the other wards of
the State asylums; farm to be
connected with the main prison to
supply food for the prisoners and
for the inmates of all other State
institutions. An effort will be made
to provide for a classification of Ia

1t is understood that the bill will
stipulate that the outlay for the

On the whole Mr.. Cleveland has

in the personnel of his Cabinet.
1t includes q number of men who
are confessedly statesmen, and as
to those who are not so we'll known,
the people are content to take the
Presidents Judgment as to their
competency. He made no mistake
in the construction Of his first Cab
met, and his political experience is
far greater now than when he made
his first advent in Washington.
There is, of course, some Democrats
dissatisfied at the nomination Of

instance taken the shape Of disput-
ing the new Secretary Of States
fitness to discharge the duties Of
the office. Since the new law plac-

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Our correspondent at Ariadne
seems to appreciate the high i'm
portance of the move which has
been inaugurated for securing bet
ter roads. Last week he offered
the suggestion, which is a good one,
that each county be empowered to
issue bonds to furnish the necessary
means to build good roads. Intel
ligent discussion Of the subject has
developed the fact that a want of
understanding and system has re-
suited in a nearly useless expendi-
ture Of enough labor and money to
have furnished every portion Of the
State with good, substantial roads.
1t is to be hoped that the general
assembly will act intelligently in
this matter, and give us a road law
that will be Of some benefit instead
of an expenditure of time, labor
and money for nothing.

pEMocRAcYs TINE OF JOY.

LaSJ saturday GROVER OLEVE- |
LAND was inaugurated President
for the second time, and in the pres
ence Of the greatest assemblage that
ever gathered in the front Of the
National Capitol. The inaugural
procession, Notwithstanding the in
clemency of the weather, proved to
be pageant of the most imposing
dimensions, and every State in the
Union was represented in the line.
The people of the United States
now look forward to an administra-
ton that will be marked in the an
nails Of the country as one Of the
best we have ever had. Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDS political ambition has been
fully grati6ed, and he is in position
to devote all his energies and great
abilities to place the affairs of the
country in a condition that will
prove eminently beneficial TO all in
terests and to all sections.
The people Of the country are
profoundly convinced that GROVER
CLEVELAND stands for policy that
will greatly benefit them. He says
that the tariff must be reformed;
that the currency must not be i'm
paired or degraded; that the enor-
nous abuses Of the pension Office
shall cease; that the tendency to-
ward paternalism must be checked;
that the revenue derived from the
people shall be economically en-
ployed to the benefit Of the people.
Mr.. CLEVELAND is sincerely in earn
est, and the people are sincere in
their trust in him. They demand
of the great party which is back of
him that it shall give him cordial
and honest support; that it shall
hold up his hands in order that
their decree in his favor last No
vember shall be made effective in
the administration Of the law under
Democratic principles.
He has many difficult and knotty
problems to solve, and, although he
may possibly fail in righting many
wrongs and in relieving many griev-
ances, the people believe that he
will ohis utmost to bring the coun-
try back to sound and wholesome
condition.
Mr.. CLEVELAND takes the reigns
Of power at a time when the outgo-
ing party has LETT the finances OF the
Government in state of chaos
when it's policy has resulted in Grip
ping it's resources and enormously
increasing its expenditures. LIE he
shall succeed in restoring the fnan.
ces of the country to sound anC
pristine health, he will have accom-
plished task that would have made
any administration memorable.
Four years ago he left his sue
cessor a treasury burdened with {
surplus of $10O,OO0,000 He nov
returns to power to find the Score
tary of the Treasury struggling t.
pass the Office over to Mr.. CARLISLE
in condition which he dared no
aver is solvent. OF course, the par
tywhich has brought about this de
plorable condition Will assall MI
CLEVELAND with the utmost viru
lence and asperity if he does not a
once cure all the shameful evil
which four years Of hagitious mis-
government have entailed upon hi
administration. IfMr. CLEvELANl
succeeds in curing one-half Of then
during the brief four years of hi
administration, he will be entities
to the grateful thanks of the Amer
Jean people.
