the senate having been read. vica-
PRESIDENT Hobart requested the new
senators to advance and take the oath
OF ONCE. At the presiding officers suo-
gestlon, Mr. Morrill,, the patriarch Of
the senate, was complimented with be-
Ing the first sworn in. No exact order
was observed, the oath being given tn
Tour senators at one time. With the
nfteen new men were twelve of the old
senators who were sworn in for new
terms.
While oaths were being administered.
Cleveland and Mckinley sat talking in
low tone. It was clearly a most
agreeable change. for the old and new
presidents smiled now and then, as they
nodded acquiescence to each other.
1t was 1:05 p. M. when the last oath
had been administered, and the formal
exit began, the supreme justices going
first, Mr.. Cleveland, President McKin-
ley and other officials following. Just
before the official party withdrew, Mrs.
Mckinley and the mother of the presi-
dent were escorted from the gallery to
the east front Of the capitol, where the
oath OF office was to be taken by the
new president. The occupants Of the
public gallery were held in their places
for some time in order not to block the
procession of officials. Gradually the
chamber was deserted.

longer impose upon the government the
necessity Of maintaining so large a gold
reserve, with its attendant and newt
able temptations to speculation. Most
of our financial laws are the outgrowth
of experience and trial, and should not
be amended without investigation and
demonstration of the wisdom of the
proposed changes. We must be both
sure. we are right, and make haste
slowly" If, therefore, congress in it's
wisdom shall deem it expedient to
create commission to take under early
consideration the revision of our coin
age, banking and currency laws and
give them exhaustive, careful and dis
passionate examination which the cir
cumstance demands, shall cordially
concur in such action. If such power
is vested in the president, it is my pur-
pose to appoint commission of promi-
nent, well-informed citizens of different
parties, who will command public con-
fdence, both on account of their ability
and special fitness for the work. Bust
ness experience and public training
may thus be combined, ard the patri-
otto zeal of the citizens of the country
be SO directed that such 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 all events, worth
a trial, and in my opinion it will
prove beneficial to the entire country.

The credit of the government, the in
tegrity of the currency and the inviol-
ability of it's obligations must be pre-
served. This was the commanding ver-
dict of the people, and it will not be
unheeded. Economy is demanded in
every branch of the government at all
times, but especially in periods like
the present depression of business and
distress among the people. The sever
est economy must be observed in all
public expenditures and extravaganza
stopped wherever found, and prevented
wherever in the future it may be de-
veloped. If the revenues are to remain
as now, the only relief that can come
must be from decreased expenditures.
But the present must not become the
permanent condition of the government.
1t has been our uniform practice to re-
tire, not increase, our outstanding obli-
cations, and this policy must be again
resumed and vigorously enforced.
Our revenues should always be large
enough to meet with ease and prompt
ness not only our current needs and the
principal and interest of the public
debt, but to make proper and liberal
provisions for that most deserving body
Of public creditors, the soldiers and
sailors and widows and orphans who
are the pensioners of the United States.

Tariff Revision Necessary.

It is the settled policy of the govern
ment, pursued from the beginning and
practiced by all parties and administra-
tions, to raise the bulk of revenue from
taxes upon foreign productions entering
the United States for sale and consump-
ton; and avoiding for the most part
every form of direct taxation, except in
time of war. The country is clearly OPP
posed to any needless additions to the
subjects of internal taxation, and is
committed by its latest popular utter
ances to the system of tariff taxation.
There can be no misunderstanding,
either, about the principle upon which
this tariff taxation shall be levied.
Nothing has ever been made palmer
at q general election than that the con-
trolling principle in the raising of rev.
enue on imports is Jealous care for
American interests and American la
Dor is wished. The people have de-
clared that such legislation should be
had as will give ample protection and
announcement to the Industries and de-
velopment Of our country. It is there
fore earnestly hoped and expected that
congress will at the earliest practicable
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 help
full for every section and every enter
prise of the people. To this policy we
are all, Of whatever party, firmly bound
by the voice of the people, power
vastly more potential than the express
sion Of any political platform. The
paramount duty of congress is to stop
deficiencies by the restoration OF that
protective legislation which has al
ways been the firmest prop Of the treas
ury. The passage Of such law or
laws would strengthen the credit OF the
government, both At home and abroad.

Decorations in the City.

A stiff breeze Haunted flags. banners
and bunting in the air, adding pictur-
ssqueness to the broad avenue, from
the treasury to the capitol, packed with
people.
The center Of the interest Of the dec
orations of the city was Pennsylvania
avenue, stretching, an unbroken sheet
Of asphalt $50 feet broad and a mile
long, from the capital to the foot of the
treasury, and thence, after a short
break at Fifteenth street, for another
mile and half past the north front of
the treasury, past the White House and
the state, war and navy departments
to Washington Heights.
The great trough of buildings from
the capitol to the treasury was a wealth
Ofbunting. There were flags of all ma
tons waving from the windows.

Tho Great Parade.

The capital city never looked upon
such a perfect parade as that which es-
corted President Mckinley from the
capitol to the White House and then
passed in review under his eye. Inc
feature of the splendid pageant was the
nerfect balance between its contrasting
narts and the high order of skill that
was shown in the handling OF the Co.
600 or more men in line.
Amid the merry spectators hearty
round of applause and reverentlai un-
covering of heads was called forth Dy

faced an Inauguration audience for the
fourth time, once more than any other
president. As Mckinley walked down
the platform the yells and shouts be-
came deafening, and as he stepped upon
the raised platform he felt compelled to
acknowledge them by bowling right and
left. He then took seat. The press
against the stand was SO terrific that
women screamed with pain and several
tainted.
Meantime the procession from the
senate continued. All the time 40, 600
people were straining to keep up the
tremendous applause.

The government should not be per-
mitted to run behind or increase it's
debts in times like the present. Suit
ably to provide is the mandate of duty,
certain and easy remedy for the most
of our financial difficulties. A defci-
ency is inevitable SO long as the expen-
ditures of the government exceeds it's
receipts. It can only be met by loans
or an increased revenue. While large
annual surplus of revenue may invite
waste and extravaganza, inadequate
revenue creates distrust and under
mines public and private credit. Neither
should be encouraged. Between more
loans and more revenue there ought to
be but one opinion.
The best way for the government to
maintain its credit is to pay as it goes
not by resorting to loans, but by keep
ing out of debt-through an adequate
income, secured by system of taxa
ton, external or internal, or both.

with lights, the streets were crowded

tudes still battled at the doors Of hotels
and restaurants demanding food and
drink, thousands surged to and fro in
front OF the monument grounds, whence
arose the chromatic fireworks which
illuminated the city in itful CLEANS.
but 1t was at the pension building that
the politicians paid their respects to So
clety. There distinguished guests Of
the occasion paid homage to President
Mckinley and the new mistress of the
White House, and later threaded the
mazes of the dance.
The ball was the climax of the day.
The pension building is admirably
suited for this spectacular display. It
lends itself to the most artistic decora-
ton, and it was never so beautifully
decorated and festooned and lighted as
on this night. The graceful arches
trembled with flowers and greenery,
the colossal columns seemed to grow
out of banks of flowers, and supported
the iron roof, which was royal canopy
of white and gold. Hundreds of cana
rles in gold cages tucked away in the
greenery sang merrily. The thousands
OF electric lights flashed amid the
flowers and drapery. The artistic effect
OF the lights was probably never
equalled, certainly not surpassed, in
this country.
It was like the portals of fairyland,
with it's vision of beautiful women, it's
myriads of cleaning ligths, its gorge
GUS massing of colors, its wealth of
blossoms, its pulsations of music and
the heavy odor of thousands of per-
fumes.

long and half as wide-was so large

immigration Laws.

Our naturalization and immigration
laws should be further improved to the
constant promotion of safer, better
and higher citizenship. A grave peril
to the republic would be a citizenship
too ignorant to understand or too
vicious to appreciate the great value
and benefit of our legislation 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 i'm
provement among our own citizens,
but with the zeal of our forefathers en-
courage the spread of knowledge and
free education. Illiteracy must be
banished from the land if we shall at
tain that high destiny as the foremost
of the enlightened nations of the world,
which, under providence, we ought to
achieve.
