TIE DUTY OF CITIZENSHIP.

The great essential to our happiness and
prosperity is that we adhere to the princi-
pies upon which the government was es-
tablished and insist upon their faithful OBJ
servance. Equality of rights must prevail,
and our laws be always and everywhere re-
specied and obeyed. We may have failed
in the discharge Of our full duty as citizens
of the reatrepublic, but it is consoling and
encouraging to realize that free speech, a
free press, free thought, free schools, the
free and unmolested right of religious lib
erty and worship, and free and fair cleo
tons are dearer and more universally en-
joyed today than ever before. These guar
antees must be sacredly preserved and
wisely strengthened. The constituted au-
thorities must be cheerfully and vigorously
upheld, lynching must not be tolerated in
a great and civilized country like the
United States. Courts, not mobs, must ex-
ecute the penalties of the law. The pres
ervation of public order, the right of dis
cussion, the integrity of courts and the or
derby administration of justice must con-
tlnue forever the rock of safety upon which
our government securely rests.

IMMIGRATION LAWS.

Our naturalization and immigration laws
should be further improved to the con-
slant promotion of a safer, Il better and a
higher citizenship. A grave peril to the
Republic would be a citizenship too ignor-
ant to understand OF too vicious to appre-
ciate the great value and bcnefcence of
our institutions and laws, and against all
who come here to make war upon them
our gates must be promptly and tightly
closed. Nor must we be unmindful Of the
need of improvement among our own cit
liens, but with the zeal of our forefathers
encourage the spread of knowledge and
free education. llliteracy must be Danish
ed from the land, if we shall attain that
high destiny as the foremost of the enligh-
tened nations of the world, which, under
Providence, we ought to achieve.

FOR RECIPROCITY.

In the revision off the tariff especial at
tcntion should be given to the rc-enact-
ment and extension of the reciprocity prn-
ciple ofthe law Of 1886, under which so great
stimulus was give to our foreign trade in
new and advantageous markets, Tor our
surplus agricultural and manufactured
products.
The brief trial given this legislation
amply jusiifes a futher experiment and
additional discretionary power in the
making of commercial treaties, the end in
view always 10 be the opening up Of new
markets for the products of our country,
by granting concessions TO the products
Of other lands that We need and cannot
produce ourselves, and which do not id
volve'any loss of labor to our own people,
but tend to increase their employment.
The depression for the past four years
has fallen with especial severity upon the
great body of toilers Of the country and
upon none more than the holders Of snail
farms. Agriculture las languished and
labor suffered The revival Of manuiactur
ing will be a relief te both. No portion of
our population is more devoted to the in
stitutions of free government, nor more
loyal TO their support, while none bears
more cheerfully or fully its proper share in
the maintenance Of the government or is
better entitled 10 its wise and liberal care
and protection.
Legislation helpful to producers is bcne-
fetal TO all. The depressed condition of
industry on the Eum and in the mine and
in the factory has lesscned the ability of
the people to meet the demandsupon them,
and they Iightfully expect that not only
4 system of revenue shall he established
that will secure the largest income with the
least burden. but that every means will be
taken to decrease, rather than increase our
pubic expenditures.

MERCHANT MARINE.

Congress should give prompt attention
to the restoration Of our American mer-
chant marine, once the pride of the seas,
in all the great ocean highways of com
merce. To my mind few more important
subjects so comparatively demand its intel
ligent consideration. The United States
has progressed with marvellous rapidity in

President mcKinley's Inaugural Address.

WASHINGTON. d. G. March 4.-In as
Stunning the position Of President of the
United States to-day, Mr. Mckinley spoke
as follows:
Fellow Citizens: In obedience 20 the
will of the people and in their presence by
the authority vested in me by this oath, |
assume the arduous and responsible duties
of president of the United States, relying
on the support Of my countryman and the
guidance of Almighty God, Our faith teach
es that there is no safer reliance than upon
the God of out Fathers, who has so
singularly favored the American people
in every national trial, who will not forSake
us so long as we obey his commandments,
and walk humble III His footsteps. The
responsibilities ofthc high trust to which
have been called, always of grave i'm
portance, are augmented by the prevailing
bushes conditions, entailing idleness upon
willing labor and loss to useful enterprise.
The country is suffering from industrial
disturbance from which speedy relief must
be had. Our financial system needs some
revision, our money is all good now but
its value must not be lessened further,
it should be put on an enduring basis not
subject to easy attacks, nor its stability to
doubt or dispute. Our currency should
continue under the supervision OF the gov
eminent.
The several forms Of our paper money
offer IN my judgement constant embar'
rassm mt to the government and safe
balance in the Treasury. Therefore l be-
lieve it necessary to devise system which,
without diminishing the circulating med
ium, or offering q premium for It's con-
traction, will present 4 remedy for those
arrangements which, temporary in their
nature, might well III the years of our pros
perity, have been displaced by wiser pro-
visions. With adequate revenue secured,
bat not unit! then, we can enter upon such
changes in our fiscal laws rs will, while i'll
surfing safety and volume to our money,
no longer impose upon the government the
necessity of maintaining so large a gold
reserve, with its attendant and inevitable
temptations to speculation. Most of our
financial laws are the outgrowth of ex-
perience and trial, and should not be
amended without investigation and de-
monstration of the wisdom Of the proposed
changes. We must be both "sure we are
right" and "make haste slowly

DEMOCRACY in tie last has been greatly
opposed to pa.ernalisin in the general
government; but Mr. Bryan,lthe expound-
er of new Democracy, breaches nothing
else but government guardianship. His
specious pea is, that the pecunarily weak
should be protected from those who are
pecuniarily powerful.

A CURRENCY COMMISSION.

If, therefore, Congress in its wisdom shall
deem its expedient to create a commits
sion to take under its early consideration
the revision of our coinage, banking and
currency laws, and give them that eX-
haustive, careful and dispassionate eX.
animation that their Importance demands,
| shall cordially concur in such action. If
such power is vested in the President it
is my purpose to appoint commission of
prominent, well-informed citizens of differ
ent parties who will command public con-
fdence both Oh account of their ability and
pecal fitness for the work. Business eX-
perence and public training may thus be
combined and the patriotic zeal Of the
friends of the country be so directed that
such a report will be made as to receive
the support Of all parties and our finances
cease to be the subject of mere partisan
contention. The experiment is, at ali
events, worth trial and in my opinion,
it can but prove beneficial to the entire
country.

wOODroRD FOR CUBA.
An Old Speech Showing He Endorsed
the Former War.

NEW YORK, June 20.-The Herald this
morning prints extracts from an ADDRESS
delivered by General Stewart l.. Woodford,
now minister to Spain, at Cuban mass
meeting in Cooper Union on April 4, 1870
during the ten-year war. General WOOD
ford said: Nearly twelve months ago L
was permitted to stand on this platform
and plead the cause of free Cuba. Fully
sensible of the horrors of war, knowing
that only the sternest necessity will JUS
tify bloodshed; sensible, also, of the wrongs
which the Cuban creoles had endured at
the hands of the Spanish government for
many long and weary year, felt then as
| feel tonight, that the Cubans were JUS
titled in throwing down the gauntlet and
engaging in the horror and struggle of
war.
Those of us who sympathzed with Cuba
had no fear that the rebellion would be
easily stamped out We knew better That
struggle may not be accomplished yet. 1t
may be-though l don't believe it-that
Spanish gold and Spanish bayonets shall
buy out and stamp out this Instruction;
but they can only kill it for season. So
long as men are free here men will desire
to be free there. This struggle is to be
the citizens OF the United States are in
duced to express their sympathy and hit
their hands in aid OF tho patriot CuDanS
struggling for liberty.
TheSCuban League recently organized in
this city claims General Woodtord as a
member according to the Herald.
A dispatch from Madrid to the Herald
says: Premier CanovaS declared yesterday
that in the event of a conflict between the
United States and Spain the latter country
was capable or rising to the emergency.
General Woodford's expected arrival
awakens considerable speculation, since it
is known here that from the date of his
confirmation he is allowed thirty days to
receive instructions and thirty days for the
journey to Madrid. Under ordinary circum-
stances therefore, Minister Woodford
would be due in Madrid at the beginning of
September, when the Queen Regent is at
San Sebastian.
Her Majesty makes it an invariable rule
that foreign ministers shall neither take
leave nor be presented there since facilities
are wanting for the requisite ceremonial
and the royal family wishes complete re-
tiTement. SO nominally Minister Woodford
cannot present his credentials till October,
when the court returns TO Madrid. If the
unusual course is followed of Fastening
Minister Woodford here or of pressing for
a reception ahead of time Spain will re-
gard it as an effort to precipitate events

GOAR WAS A TERROR,
But Took Pity on Grand Rapids in
the Eighth.

Special 20 the Indianapolis Journal
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, June 2O-Goar
wound up his right wing and each time let
go of it with such force that Grand Rapids
had hard work to stop him at all this after
noon. 1t seemed that he was more speedy
than ever and during the first six innings
only four hits were secured off his delivery.
He weakened little in the eighth, how
ever, or else the Grand Rapids batters
recovered the use of their eyes, for he was
hit pretty freely in th~t inning. He gave.
Grand Rapids four good hits in the eighth,
two singles and double and a home run
over the center-field fence. The fielding
work of Grand Rapids was very bad, es-
pecially that of Roat at short field, while
Indianapolis played a clean, sharp, quick
game. Bobby" Gayle, recently released
by Grand Rapids, was appointed regular
league umpire by President Johnson this
morning and he and Graves gave the double
system of umpiring, which gave more sat

rors by Roat and one by Campau in left
field. In the third, Motz hit for one base
and got to second on an error by Cross,
scoring later on a single by Goar. In the
seventh inning Motz led off with safe hit
and got second on sacrifice by FLYNN.
Kahoe scored him with a safe hit and

similar deception in Corinth. And what is
true of Corinth is largely OF all the earthly

Gossip About the Merits of the Horses

the Suburban handicap, to be run at
Sheepshead Bay on Tuesday next, have
been sifted down to ten starters. One by
one the horses have fallen by the waysde
and the four top weights gave it up some
time ago. This leaves Ben Brush as the
colt with the highest impost, and he will
have to shoulder 123 pounds. He is in such
fine condition, however, that he is likely to
be the favorite from this time out. This
seems legitimate from his last two races
One week ago yesterday he appeared for
the first time this season in the East and
ran a capital race. Then on Thursday last
he carried 11S pounds and won a fine race

pounds looks like staggerer, as he coIld

pounds, but as he had to be driven and
