Mckinley Goes to the White House.
During the forenoon, escorted by the
senate committee, President-elect McKin-
ley drove from his temporary quarters at
the Ebbitt house to the executive mansion
to pay his respects to the retiring presi-
dent. He was received and welcomed by
President Cleveland and his cabinet In one
of the handsome state apartments. Then
the two distinguished men descended the
white house steps and together entered a
four-horse carriage, Mr.. Cleveland sitting
to the right, and, amid the booming Of cam

rumble of artillery, the measured tread of
many columns of infantry and the blare

He condemns lynchings and says they

the orderly administration of justice must
continue forever the rock of safety upon
which our government securely rests"
He scores the trusts and says:
Immunity should be granted to none

constitution imposes upon the president the
duty of both its own execution and of the
provisions. | shall endeavor carefully to
carry them into effect"
Improved Immigration Laws.
On the subject of immigration, he says
our laws should be further improved to the
constant promotion of a safer, a better
and higher citizenship. He recommends
that the gates of the land be closed to those
who are too ignorant to understand or too
vicious to appreciate the value of our in
situations.
The civil reforms must continue, but
prompted by a zeal In behalf of any party.
An enforcement Of the civil service laws

have the leadership in so grand work."

Therefore | believe ii necessary to devise

Financial Reform Needed.
He advises a thorough investigation Of

Tariff Legislation Wanted.
He asks for an increased revenue, and
1.-THE government should not be permit
ted to run behind, or increase it's debt, in
times like the present. Suitably to provide
against this is the mandate of duty; the
certain and easy remedy for most of our
financial difficulties. A deficiency is in
evitable so long as the expenditures of
the government exceed its receipts. 1t can
only be met by loans, or an increased rev.
enue. While large annual surplus Of
revenue may invite waste and eXtrava-
gance, inadequate revenue creates distrust
and undermines public and private credit.
Neither should be encouraged. Between
more loans and more revenue there ought
more revenue, and that without delay,
hindrance or postponement A surplus in
the treasury created by loans, is not a
permanent or safe reliance. 1t will suf-
flee while it lasts, but it cannot last long

greater than it's receipts, as has been the
case during the past two years Nor must
it be forgotten however much such loans

The address of Vice President Hobart
was very short. He spoke of his appre-
by the people of the country. He felt, he
said, peculiar delicacy in entering upon
the duties of his office, being aware that
the body over which he was to preside
had had but a small voice in the selec-
tion of it's presiding officer, and that he
was perhaps not their choice in point
either of fitness or merit He promised
constant effort to aid in the expedition of
the business of the senate. and said:

better condition of things, call for prompt
