CHARLESTON, KANAWHA COCN H.
w. VA. March 4.-(Special.) Since Will
liam E. Stephenson took the oath of once
on March 4. 1869. West Virginia has not
naugurated a Republican Governor until
to-day. At noon, surrounded by vast
throng of people from all over the state
George Wesley Atkinson was inaugurated
Governor for the coming four years Ihe
day was a perfect one-the air was brac-
ing and the sunshine heightened the
gllsten of the uniforms Of the military ana
civic organizations which participated IN
the ceremonies. The last trains last night
brought big delegations in, and there were
numbers of specials this morning. The
paralyzed conditions of the railroads rum
ming into Charleston, made so by the
flood. kept thousands away At noon the
Governor-elect was driven TO the Capitol
and the oath was administered by Judge
w. c. McWhorter, of the Supreme Court
Of Appeals. Governor MacCorkie then IN
troduced the GOvernor-elect TO the crowd
and the inaugural address followed.
\ REVIEW.
At o'clock Governor Atkinson and his
family. his STAFF. and the state officials
elect reviewed the parade. The parade
WAS disappointing I'm numbers but the
ORGANIZATIONS participating made a good
showing The Elkins' Cadets, Of Wheel
ing. headed the parade.
Tonight Governor Atkinson held re-
ception i'm the House chamber of the
Capitol and after it ended the festivities
closed with the inaugural ball, which was
the most elaborate social function
Charleston has ever witnessed. Promi-
nent society people from all over the state
were present.
THE INAUGURAL.
Governor Atkinson's inaugural was brief
and was attentvely listened TO. The
change i'm the policies of the administra-
ton. he thinks, VIII be for the better for
all the people as well as Infinitely better
for the state itself. IL was his intention
TO execute the laws in an absolutely im-
partial way, and while In the distribution
of patronage he would serve his party
first. I'm the execution Of trusts placed In
his keeping he would know no party,
class, race, or creed. He would appoint
no boards without a minority representa-
ton. and. above all things politics should
not be permitted 10 enter into educational
institutions.
Speaking Of the stress placed upon cor
porations by the Democrats in the last
campaign, he said he could not see why
any incorporated body of men should be
prosecuted or prosecuted simply for the
reason that it is a corporation. The cry
Down with rich men and corporations"
is anarchy. he said and anarchy would
never secure a foothOld in West Virginia.
The Governor outlined his policy in the
MANAGEMENT Of some Of the different in
stitutions. and closed with u tribute to
the State and people.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March A.
Five of the annual appropriation bills

fusal Of the President TO approve them.
The sundry civil. the naval, the Indian,
and the agricultural bills reached the
White House so late that Mr.. Cleveland
was unable 20 give them that close
scrutiny upon which he insists. He,
therefore. refused TO sign any of them.
The general deficiency bill failed 10 reach
him, owing TO the failure OF the con-
ferrees TO reach an agreement. This Is
the record-breaker in the history Of the
government. The agricultural bill was

Thinks the Argument Unanswerable.

The report of Postmaster General
easy, embodying as it does, the reports
and recommendations of the assistant
general, is an exceptionally
important document. A large part of
the volume is devoted to an argument,
to our mind uuanswerable, in favor of
the prompt institution by this country
of a postal savings bank system. The
array of facts and figures marshal ed to
show the k4fr.>:e iioess and Importance of
this sterDhght f2make Il deep impress
sion ,G,lDn the congressional mind. The
enWAnous growth Of, the postal money
OF Ter business is aGduced as showing
Sow the people already patronize the
postal servic6H4or the transmission of
funds. That they would avail them
selves Of it to deposit their savings is
beyond question. Within few years
the deposit would be counted by hun
dreds OF millions. sfhe time is certain
ly ausplcious for the adoption of this
policy OF savings banks. Further than
that, however, it ought to be possible
to combine that policy with some plan
for the Improvement of the currency
system.-Review of Reviews.
