For the Second Time, Inaugurated as
the Chief Executive of Ohio.
COLUMBUS. Jan. S.-Governor McKin-
ley's second Inauguration to-day was, as
usual in this State, more of a social than
political event. Leading Democrats
had prominent positions in connection
with the ceremonies, the only limit which
they placed on their party connection
with the Inauguration being that no
Democratic clubs took part in the parade.
Colonel James Kilbourne, the possible
Democratic nominee for Congress, Chair
man Of the Committee of Reception; |. f.
Ritter OF the Thurman Club, one of the
chief aids to the Chief Marshal; d. c.

first Administration; Hon. w. j. Booth,
who ran against Foraker for Governor,
and Allen NJ. Thurman and other Demo-
Gratis of State or national reputation were
conspicuous in the ceremonies.
The parade was 5000 strong and moved
at l P. NJ, consisting of Republican clubs
from the various parts of the State, sup
plemented by other civic and military or
carnations. 1t WAS reviewed by the
Governor and staff on Broad street, north
of the Capitol.
The inaugural ceremonies were held at
the west front of the Capitol, in the pres
ence Of the members of the Legislature
and a large audience. Chief Justice Brad
bury of the Supreme Court administered
the oath of office.
In courteous recognition of the fact that
his political opponents assisted in doing
him honor. the Governor totally alb
stained from any partisan references in
the inaugural address, confning himself
entirely to the condition of the State; to
the expression OF pride in its growth and
achievements; to the promise to give his
best energies for her future advancement
and 10 cooperate with the Legislature in
the enactment OF laws to that END. He
also made a plea in behalf of the work
men thrown out of employment by hard
times.

The tBlack Crook" entered upon its
second week last night at the Clunie
Opera-house, with Mr.. Snow-who was
received with hearty applause-as kunte.
and Mr.. Berch as Zamiel, the only
changes in the cast. The specially acts
were changed considerably and the
transformation drop is now handsome
painting OF the Central and Northern
California building at the Alidwinter
Fair, from the brush of Duran. 1t was
loudly and sincerely applauded. The
piece went as smoothly and nicely as be-
fore and won the commendatiOn OF the
audience, which was manifested warmly.
At Armory Hall last night the New
York Stock Company presented the
strong, thrilling, emotional drama.
1.-The ;ssn, Wages of SIM" In no

better prove her fine capacity. Miss

demonstrated that she is possessed OF
much native ability, and has before her
success of a superior order. Lorlmer
Johnstone made his first appearance here
in the leading role, George Brand. He
has good stage presence, reads with great
clearness, is not self-conscious, and has
ability OF an excellent order. He Is
strong emotional actor, ard impresses
the auditors deeply with a sense of his
ability. The play was well staged and
was acted faultlessly-it is seldom that
such a drama is better given.

At last that is being done which should
have been years ago-a heater is now in

will give to the theater two heating plants
instead OF one and remove all the COM
plants that have been so just concerning
the lack Of warmth in that house. But
why was IL necessary to wait until pa
tience ceased to be virtue, and the peo-
pie rebelled against the house conditions,
before making this improvement? a
second or stage heater was put into the
Clunie Opera-house last week and works
to q nicety-the interior of the structure
being now kept as warm as any could
desire.

Special to the REco8D-UNIoN.
SANTA ANA, Jan. SIT Is scarcely pos
sible yet to estimate the damage to the
orange crop in the neigh borhood. Around
Santa Ana and Tustin the damage will be
considerable, but it will not be known
exactly for perhaps two weeks. The Villa
Park section, north of this city, is re-
ported to be entirely untouched. as it is
protected by the foothills.
The lemon crop around Tustin is said
to be almost a total loss. Reports from
Orange say the thermometer touched 240
Sunday morning, and water was frozen
in pipes in this city.
SOME ORCHARDS ESCAPE.
POMONA. Jan. S.-There has been un-
usually hard freezing here the past three
nights, the coolest being Saturday night.
An examination of the orange orchards
in different sections of the valley show
some damage, but how much can not be
told for some time to come. 1t is certain
that in many orchards the fruit is not
damaged.
WORST WEATHER IN FOURTEEN YEARS.
SAN DIEGO, Jan. S.-Observer Hearne
says the cold snap is now moderating
rapidly. 1t has been the worst in four
teen years. The lowest point touched
was early yesterday, 3l.6o, or l. more
than that of January 81. 1880. This morn
ing the thermometer stood at 33'. No
damage is yet reported, but reports of in
jury are expected from the lowlands.
y telephone message from Cuyamaca,

inches OF ice strong enough for skating.
The mercury there touched I50, but it
was A. higher this morning. The mail to
that point from Descanso is now being
taken on horseback, owing TO snow drifts
blocking the road.
NO DAMAGE At OROvILLE.
OROvILLE, Jan. S.-The cold wave of
the last two days has gone. 1t was not
cold enough here to do any damage even
to the young-growing lemon and lime
trees. The lowest temperature reached
was 270.
INJUSTICE TO THE ORANGE SECTION.
REDLANDs, Jan. s. - The Associated
Press dispatch from San Bernardno OF
yesterday does great injustice to the
orange section and bears evidence of in
accuracy on its face. Oranges stand a
temperature Of "a above, which was
only reached in exposed places or along
depressions in the soil. The Citrogroph
has made careful investigation of the
crop at Rediands, and not to exceed per
cent. of the oranges will show the effect
of frost. The temperature was 10 above
that of Christmas morning, 1891, and
several times has been lower without
doing damage of consequence.
DAMAGE NOT SO GREAT AS FIRST RE-
PORTED.
Los ANGELES, Jan. S.-Reports from
numerous towns in Southern California
indicate that the damage to the orange
crop by frost was not nearly so great as
at first estimated.

side, namely, from the view which we
have before our eyes Of our govern
ment now controlled by private rail
road corporations. Why will men look
to a future mythical and impossible
danger of party denomination by gov
ernment railroads when already, at
this hour, the government is an indus.
trial despotism controlled by political
parties, who are dominated and moved
like puppets. at the behest of, and in
the interest Of private monopoliesp
.--- Let the following undispnted state
ments of commercial bodies and states
men receive the candid thought of the
people. The New York board of trade
and transportation, one of the most
conservative bodies of merchants in
the United States, issued circular
statement upon the dangers and cor
ruptions of railroad domination con-
tanning the following extracts:
"When and where has the world ever
seen such aggregations of wealth as
have been suddenly accumulated by
the carrier taxing the producer and
merchant?
"The corruption OK our elections,
legislatures and courts-the undermin.
ing of the very foundations upon
which our forefathers based our free
Institutions the spectacle exhibited to
the young, Of chicanary and fraud con-
ferring the highest prizes of society
upon its most unscrupulous and un-
worthy members-these are features
Of our modern life which suggest in
the strongest manner a future, if not
present, for our country, where wealth
accumulates and men decay
"If any are disposed to question the
truth of this picture, let them consider
few undisputed facts. 1t is not dis
puted:
"That they control absolutely the
legislatures Of majority Of the states
in the Union; make and unmake gov
ernors, United States senators and con-
gressmen, and under the forms Of pop
ular government are practical dictatOrs
Of the governmental policy of the
United States.
"That within twenty years 200 mil
lion of acres of the public lands have
been given to corporations, equal to
about four acres for every man, woman
and child in the United States.
"That this wealth and power has
been acquired largely through brib-
cry and corruption. Mr.. Gould
testified in 1873 that he contributed
money to control legislation in four
states, and it was proven that the Erie
road, in single year, under his man.
agement, ,disbursed more than l million
dollars for this purpose.
"That because Senator Thurman was
active in compelling the Pacific rail
roads to fulfill their contracts with the
government, that honest man and able
statesman could not return to the
United States senate.
"That E. d. Worcester, treasurer of
the New York Central railroad, testi-
fed before the late constitutional con-
yention of the state of New York that
that road paid $2O5,OOO one year and
$4,000 another to obtain legislation,
and that it was obtained"
Hon. David Davis, once a Judge of
