The Inauguration.

On Saturday next, at 10 o'clock, NJ,
according to an established custom as
old as the government itself, President
elect Cleveland will take the oath of
office, as President of the United States,
Chief Justice Fuller, of the Supreme
Court, whom Mr.. Cleveland appointed
during his former administration, adj
ministering the oath. This important
ceremony will take place at the National
Capital, in the presence of the members
of the Supreme Court, the Senate and
House of Representatives. the Army and
Navy, and the assembled Democratic
hosts from every State in the Union.
Old Virginia will be creditably repre>
sented, by both civic and military bod>
les, and among them will be sturdy Dem
ocrats from Clifton Forge and other
sections of Allegheny county. From
that hour Democracy will control the
government of the greatest nation On
the face of the earth.

Items of Interest.

From Ronceverte News.
Frank L. Saunders, and sister, Miss
Ada, are visiting Mrs. f. P. Staley.
On last Friday, the 18th, as the west
bound Flying Virginian was due about
two miles east of Ronceverte, a large
rock, the size of flour barrel, rolled
down the hillside and lodged on the
track. 1t was discovered by Tan. Shires,
who heard No. 8 coming and ran and flag
ged her in time to avert a fearful wreck.
Mr.. Shires deserves the everlasting graft
tude of the railroad company.
John Moore had miraculous escape
from death on Trace Fork, in Lincoln
county, last Monday. A pile of heavy
logs, numbering perhaps hundred,
were lying on a steep hillside, projecting
down to the creek, and young Moore
was working at the bottom of the heap
of logs, when the whole thing gave way,
the first log striking him and knocking
him down. Then the entire lot rolled
over him, and the men standing by un-
able to assist him were horror-stricken.
believing he was crushed to death. When
the mass of logs had passed over his
body, they went to his relief and found
him alive. He will recover.

The Cabinet COMPLETED.

BY selecting Hon. Hilary A. Herbert,
of Alabama, for Secretary of the Navy,
and Richard Olney, of Massachusetts,
for Attorney General, Mr.. Cleveland has
completed his cabinet. The geographic
al distribution for the cabinet places is
eminently fair. The West is adequately
represented by ]. Sterling Morton, OF
Nebraska, Secretary of Agriculture, and
by Walter @. Gresham, of Indiana, Sec
rotary of State. The South is repre-
sented by Hoke Smith, of Georgia, Sec
rotary of the. Interior, and Herbert, OF
Ala, Secretary of the Navy. The North
is represented in Daniel s. Lamount, Sec
rotary of War, and Wilson s Bissell, of
New York, Postmaster General, and the
East in Olney of Massachusetts, Attorney
General. Mr.. Carlisle, of Kentucky, a
Union man during the civil war, may be
considered to represent the democracy
of the North and South, the East and
the West.
What will strike most persons in read
ing the list is the fact that there is not
a politician or millionaire in it. They
are all Woodworking men, who are trust
ed by the public that knows them. 1t is
a practical Cabinet of a practical man.
who desires to carry on the government
in the next four years in careful, eco
nomical and business-like way.

The Virginian's Position.

On the eve of the municipal campaign,
we deem it best to state the course the
VIRGINIAN shall endeavor to pursue, in
dealing with men and issues that may
become involved in the general free-for-
all fight which is likely to take place.
AS public newspaper, the VIRGINIAN
will aim to champion the interests OF the
whole people, avoiding as far as possible,
attacks of a personal character,
AS business men of Clifton Forge, we,
in common with all other good citizens,
desire her prosperity, and stand ready
to aid in any way we can, every effort to
accomplish this result.
Personally, we have a kindly feeling
and high regard for the Mayor and City
Council, and whatever may be said OF
them in these columns, will be directed
to their official acts.
Contributions, couched in proper Ian
guage, will be admitted to our columns,
but by so doing, we do not assume re-
sponsibility for their contents. We be-
lieve it is the province of newspaper to
afford the people an opportunity TO be
heard, and for this reason we are in
position to grant this privilege.
Let it be remembered, that the VIR-
GINIAN will sur0i0e or perish in main
tanning its identity as fearless news

The Shooting of Mr.. Mackay

1t seems that the attempt to kill Mr..
Mackay was made by man who tried
to get as rich as his victim and didn't.
There have been, as far as we can hear,
no charges against Mr.. Mackay, as he
has the reputation of being an aimable,
excellent man, whose career has been
one of indomitable energy, industry and
perseverance, and whose wealth came
from a lucky purchase of a mine. His
assailant had the same opportunity and
was himself at one time a a rich man. 1t
is::presuInable that then he did not consid
err it crime to be rich, but having dissi-
pated his fortune in gambling, and fail
ing in his efforts to become as rich as Mr..
Mackay, he concluded to kill him. That
seems to be about the whole story.

LAKEWOOD, N. j., Feb. 22.-Mr. Cleve-
land announced this evening that he had
completed his Cabinet by the selection
of Richard Olney, of Boston, for Attor-
ney- General, and Hillary A. Herbert, of
Alabama, for Secretary of the Navy.
The complete Cabinet is as follows:
Walter Q. Gresham, of Indiana, Secre-
tary of State.
John q. Carlisle, of Kentucky, Secre-
tary of the Treasury.
Daniel s. Lamont, of New York, Sec
rotary of War.
Hillary A. Herbert, of Alabama, Sec
rotary OF the Navy.
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, Secretary of
the Interior.
J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska, Sec
rotary of Agriculture.
Wilson S. Bissell, of New York, Post
master General.
Richard Olney, of Massachusetts,, At
torney>General.
The selection of Hillary A Herbert for
the navy has been expected for several
days, but Mr.. Olney's name had not
been mentioned in connection with the
Cabinet and his selection is a surprise to
everybody, particularly to the friends OF
George A. jerks, of Pennsylvania, who
was yesterday reported to have been no
titled of his appointment to the position.
Hillary A. Herbert has been in Con-
gress for many years and has acted as
chairman of the naval committee of the
House He is thoroughly familiar with
the work THAT has been done toward
placing the United States Navy on a
proper footing, and his knowledge OF the
present condition of the vessels under
construction and which have been plan
ned makes him most desirable man for
the head of the department. His selec-
ton is also practically promotion.
Mr. Richard Olney is one of the leading
practitioners of the Massachusetts bar.
He has not held any political position or
been prominent in political matters, but
is known as one of the leading lawyers
and substantial citizens of Boston. His
selection gives New England a represent
tative in the Cabinet. and that OF Her
bert gives the South three positions.

If an honest confession is made by any

frankly acknowledge that the Baltimore

It's position is always clearly defined on
all public questions, and the views ex
pressed, are heartily endorsed by fair
minded men of all parties. The Suns
news-columns are filled with reliable in

a valuable and distinguishing feature.

ton by reducing the expenses of opera

likewise.
