PARADE. ON PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE.

There have been many inaugurations in
Washington, but in many respects that of
March 4, 1897, will go down in history as
excelling all that have gone before. The
citizens of the capital city worked to that
end with q degree of energy unknown,
and the great popular demonstration was
q unique and shining success in every
particular. In beauty, in taste. in novelty
the decorations of the city were incom-
parably superior to anything ever seen in
Washington; the magnificent body of reg
ular United States troops was more num-
erous than any gathered since Grants

enteen sovereign States had their citizens

ceremony was performed by Chief Justice
Fuller With an expression of humility
mingled with realization Of the heavy

Kinley bent his head and repeated In a
clear voice the words:
IL do soleninly swear that / will faith.
fully execute the office Of President of
the United States and will to the best of
my ability, preserve, protect and defend

There was deathlike silence as the
preparations for administering the oath
were begun. The people could see the
pantonime enacted. but only the favored
few in the immediate vicinity could hear
the words then cannon shot was heard.
This marked the beginning of the term of
William Mckinley as President. and in
stantiy tremendous cheer went up. Hats,
canes. handkerchiefs and other articles
were wavedsas President Mckinley step
ped to the edge of the Capitol portico and
bowed his Acknowledgements to the peo-

Mckinley stood, was filed with seeth-

Enormous Gathering of People.
To witness all this display there was q
mighty gathering of the American people
in the capital and even up to noon the
railroads poured thousands into the city
to swell the great total of strangers. Ev-
erybody agreed that it was an ideal inau-
guration day as far as the weather was
concerned, for those who expected to
march in the parade, while the increasing

warmth of the sun as Ii mounted higher
in the blue sky reassured the persons who
feared for their comfort in the covered
grand stands.
N The executive committee had been at
work MI night and by morning there was
double line of cable two miles in length
stretched along both sides of the avenue
on the line of march, which promised the
most effective protection ever designed to
keep the crowd from closing in on the
line of the parade.
Detachments of the regular troops to
take part in the great display were early
abroad, swinging along ut a quickstep,
easy and confident, in sharp contrast to
the more gaudy overcoat militiamen.
Seats were in great demand. The bril-
limit day sent the stock of the grand
stands up several points, and there was
scarcely n seat to be had on any of the
big stands. Nearly every building along
the line of march that had window COM
handing a view of the avenue was in the
market. The prices asked had been phe-
nomenal-$25 being the lowest for which
a single window could be had, while the
prices ranged from that figure to $500
for three window room. Calvin Brice
of Ohio paid $1,000 for an avenue room
IOT the Jay ut Wntdfu with iuucheon
served for small party, and Secretary
Carlisle good price for one In the Postal
Telegraph building.
While the rest of the town was pulsing
with enthusiastic anticipation, there sat
Mt his desk In the White House the man
who Is now ex-President. Even his in
disposition of Tuesday did not keep him
from his work. Mr.. Cleveland toiled
through most of Wednesday night, and
when he resumed his labors in the morn
ing the electric lights had to be turned
on. for day had not broken yet. He work
ed on till the hour for bin to leave the
White House for the last time as Presi-
dent, and then he laid down his pen with
the satisfaction to himself, at least, of
duty DONE His cabinet officers also were
similarly engaged in cleaning up the final
bits of business on their desks, and, like
their chief. were ready to relinquish the
cares of Office. . rff, II

The Alabama Legislature has turned
back the hands of progress a hundred
years. The Australian ballot law did
not give the political machine. which
dominates that State. a sufficient OPP
portunity to debauch the ballot, and so
the law has been repealed. This is a
disgrace to Alabama, and shows clear
ly that an honest ballot and an honest
count is not wanted by the Democratic
managers down there. That the law

The Wilson Law Ruined Lum bermen

Inc W1I9On Law hutneu l<um Dermeus
When the Mckinley law was up, as
also when the Wilson act was pending,
the lumbermen, as rule, were indif-
ferent whether tariff was put on their
product or not. To-day they are almost
unanimous for high protective rate.
The reason is not far to seek. The lum-
bermen have been driven fairly desper-
ate by the stress Of the times. Old and
well-established firms have gone down.
Fortunes have been wrecked. Firms
which are still hanging on find them
selves overstocked with lumber which
they cannot sell at the cost of produc-
ton. The market has been continually
hammered down by dealers who have
been compelled to let their stock go at
a loss to save it from rotting on their
hands, or to enable them to meet Obli-
cations which must be paid.-Buffalo

Tuberculin Test in England.

From the Dairy World of London we
take the following: During the recent
congress of the Sanitary Institute in
Newcastle, the compulsory use Of the
tuberc0lin test, in order to free our
dairy herds from tuberculosis was free
~ advocated. Some very useful infor-
nation on the subject has arrived from
America, which cannot fail to be inter-
esting to those who followed the pa
pers on the subject. A good example is
quoted of large dairy herd belonging
to Mr.. G. W. Ladd. of Bloomfield. This
was inspected early this year, and sew
eral animals condemned and got rid Of
The whole of the byres and barns were
thoroughly disinfected, and everything
done to help on the work of eradication.
Six months after he demanded and OBJ
tanned a second test. which showed
that every animal in his herd was free
from the disease. In the Official report
issued by the state number of such
cases are reported, and it is stated that
in only some per cent of the herds
tested the second time were traces Of
disease still to be found.

Home Market for Cheese.
Delavan. Ill.


1t is often said that Canadians are
not cheese eaters. says the Sussex New
Brunswick) Cooperative Farmer. They
are not as compared with the people
OF England and it seems to us for two
very bad reasons and one good one
To take the last 6rst, the good reason
ID the cheapness of meats and other
hoods. and this Is not a reason that We
- cheesemakers should really mind.
There is a reason. though, that calls
for urgent attention. and that is the
high retail price Of cheese. The other
day we went to a store to buy some
good cheese. cheese that was bought
from the factory at not more than 8
cents per pound. and what do you
imagine the retail price was? Why.
nothing less than IA cents per pound.
This heavy margin. which is general
among grocers all over Canada, Is one
bad reason why cheese is not popular
