first Inauguration in 1855, there has
been no such an ideal day for the mo-
mentous ceremony. President McKin-
ley said in part:
Fellow-CitiZenS: In obedience to the will
of the people and in their presence. by the
authority vested in by this oath, I as
sumo the arduous and responsible duties
of president of the United States relying
on the support of my countrymen and in
voking the guidance of Almighty God
which have been called-a1ways of grave i'm
portance-are augmented by the prevailing
business conditions, entailing idleness on will
ing labor and loss to useful enterprises. The
country is suffering from industrial disturbances
from which speedy relief must be had Our
financial system needs revision: our
money is all good now but its value must not
further be threatened. 1t should all be put on
an enduring basis not subject to easy attack,
currency should continue under the SUI
pervision of the government. The sew
eral forms of paper money offer,
in my Judgment constant embarrassment to
the government and safe balance in the treas
ury. Therefore believe it necessary to devise
a system which, without diminishing the circu-
lating medium Offering premium for its
contraction, will present remedy for those ar
rangements which, temporary in their nature,
might well in the years of our prosperity have
been displaced by wiser provisions With ade-
.quate revenue secured but not until then, We
can enter upon such changes in our fiscal laws
as will. while insuring safety and volume to
our money, no longer impose upon the govern
meat the necessity of maintaining so large a
gold reserve. with its attendant and inevitable
temptations to speculation. If, therefore, con-

ored overcoat. Instead, the military
display was just large enough and
had just enough variety to give
the people pleasing oppor-
tunity to dwell upon the difference
between the three great arms of the
service, while as for the civic organiza-
tions, their leaders showed the neces-
sary ingenuity in the variety of their
costumes to make it delight to look
upon their closely drawn lines. Amid
the merry spectators hearty need of
applause and reverential uncovering
of heads was called forth by the pas
sage of the limping and battle-scarred
veterans of the war, now few in num-
Der, but of sturdy heart.
The Inaugural Address.
President Mckinley made his fealty
to the American people on the east ter
race of the capitol. He arose and I'M
covered, while Chief Justice Fuller, in
his flowing robes, administered the
oath in the presence Of the tremendous
multitude. The new president kissed
the large gilt-edged Bible presented
by the bishops of the African Meth
odist church, to seal his oath. A daz-
cling and inspiring scene spread out
before him as he appeared on the steps
of the senate wing. A glorious south
ern spring sun blazed from a blue sky,
an suspicious augury for his admins
tration. Except for Mr.. Cleveland's

ReVenue-The Ball.

WASHINGTON. March 5.--The capital
rity never looked upon such perfect
parade as that which escorted Presi-
dent Mckinley from the capitol to the
white house and then passed in review
under his eye. The feature of the
splendid pageant was the perfect bal
ance between its contrasting parts and
the high order of skill that was shown
in the handling of the 10000 or more
men that stepped along or bestrode the
splendid steeds that danced and reared
their way in the parade.
There was no long-drawn-out mass
ing of uniformly attired regular troops
or militia, pleasing enough to the mill
tary eye, but wearisome to the specta-
tors who made up the vast crowd.
Nor was there any preponderance of
widely separated civic organizations,
whose identity was scarcely distin-
guishable through the presence or alb
sence of a high hat or different col

One Continuous Ovation
AS President Mckinley and ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland, arm in arm, emerged
from the capitol after the lunch the
buglers sounded salute and cheers
went up, frightening the horses and
making a confusion in bringing for
ward the handsome turnout which was
to bear the presidential party to the
white house. Mr.. Mckinley took the
rear seat on the left with Mr.. Cleve-
land beside him on the right. On the
front seat were Sherman, muffled in a
fur collar, and Senator Mitchell, Of
Wisconsin.
It was one continuous ovation from
the start. The president raised his hat
time and time again, bowling and smil-
ing his Acknowledgements From Win
dows, roofs and trees rang continuous
cheers, while flags and handl&erchiefs
were waved in demonstrative greeting.
Mr.. Mckinley, seeing that his salutes
were continuous, at last sat bare
headed, hat in hand. waving acknowl-
edgments to the multitude. At the

ture about Jackson as he marched
down the aisle of the senate with a
quick, large step, as though he pro-
posed to storm the capitol, was his
double pair of spectacles. He habitu-
ally wore two pairs, one for reading
and the other for seeing at distance,
the pair not in use being placed across
the top of his head. On this occasion,
says the eye witness, the pair on his
head reflected the light; and some of
the rural admirers of the old hero were
firmly persuaded that they were two
plates of metal let into his head to
close up holes made by British bullets.
When he appeared on the portico we
are, told that the shout which arose
rent the air and seemed to shake the
very ground. The ceremony ended,
the general mounted his horse to pro-
ceed to the white house and the whole
crowd followed him.

Men are not supposed to know much
about the fashions, unless they are
professionally interested in them. but
there are cases when their Judgment
may not be altogether impertinent.

out the punch in pals, the crowd
rushed upon them, upsetting the pals,
and breaking the glasses. Inside the
house the crush was so great that dis
tribution of refreshments was impossi-
bic, and tubs of orange punch were set
out in the grounds to entice people
from the rooms. Jackson himself was
so pressed against the wall of the re-
ception room that he was in
danger of injury, and was pro-
tected by number of men linking
arms and forming barrier against
the crowd. Men with boots heavy
with mud stood on the satin-covered
chairs and sofas in their eagerneSs to
get view of the hero. Judge Story
wrote that the crowd contained all
sorts of people, from the highest and
most polished down to the most vulgar
and gross in the nation. 81 never saw
such a mixture" he added. 1.-The reign

and the presidential party swung into
the broad avenue and took its course
along the crowded thoroughfares to
the executive mansion. When the
head of the parade came in sight
of the thousands lining the way
to the capitol. the magnificent stretch
of broad asphalt of Pennsylvania av-
enue was swept as clean of intruders
as though the whole town was desert
ed, for behind the wire rope steady
patrol of police had forced 1000 per-
sons. Then up and down the avenue
rose a cheer that rolled and echoed
back, and was taken up and repeated
again and again. as the carriage of the
president and eN-president rolled into
view.
Over such triunpha1 way, and the
presence and thunderous applause of
unending crowds, President Mckinley
was escorted to the white house. The
presidents reviewing stand occupied
two thirds of the white house ground.
It was a solidly built and finished
structure, carefully designed and taste
fully decorated. The background was
white, the columns were twined with
green and the national colors in float
ing co1ors and woven and draped de-
signs were the chief ornament. The
stand seated 1000. The president

adequate income secured by system of tax
alton, external or internal, or both. 1t is the
settled policy of the government t, pursued from
the beginning, practiced by all parties and ad-
ministrations to raise the bulk of our revenue
from taxes on foreign productions entering the
United States for sale, and avoiding, for the
most part, every form of direct taxation, ex-
cept in the time of war. The people have de-
clared that such legislation should be had as
will give ample protection and encourage to the
industries and the development of our country
It is therefore earnestly hoped and expected
that congress, will. at the earliest practical
moment enact revenue legislation that shall
be fair reasonable, conservative and just and
which, while supplying sufficient revenue for
public purposes, will still be signally beneficial
and helpful to every section, and every enter
prise of the people.
