HENs:-The inaugural ceremony of to-
day is the formal act in execution of
the will OF the people expressed on the
9Th day Of November last. It is the
scattering upon the performance of a
public duty already imposed by the
people and in obedience to their SOW
ereign will. Our elective system is the
established means of asserting the right
and power OF the majority to rule, and
determine who for the time are to serve
as the agents of the people within the
%nneaning and limitations of the consti-
84ion and the laws. When that result is
once determined those who favored it
and those who opposed it Join in cheer.

and all creeds bow in generous
submissicn to the only earthly SOW

of Office in obedience to this popular

are homes in the state which,
LESS than a year ago, were filled with
&cheer and contentnent, that are now
haunted with hunger. Our hearts go
out in feeling sympathy to these unfor-
tunate ones of our fellow citizens, and
8our purses should open to them in
sweet and substantial charity. The
situation affords a great oppor-
8tunity to all of us TO demonstrate the
love We bear our fellow men, and, if
brightly improved, will cause US to real

Those who have should-and / know

the people of our great state will permit

to suffer for the necessaries of life.
God grant that this scourge to our
industrial prosperity may speedily pass
away, and that the time may not be
long distant when business confidence

when industry shall resume its former
activity and VIXEN the men now inSen
