Gov. Shaw's Address.
Gov. Shaw, of Iowa, closed the
speech at the white house with
an address on ''The Development of the
States During the Nineteenth Cen
tury."
Gov. Shaw said that the close of the most
remarkable century in the flight of time
finds Americans the best housed, the best
fed, the best clothed, the best educated,
the best churched, the most profitably en-
ployed. and the happiest because the most
hopeful Of any people at any time or under
any sky. Marvellous are the pages of their
history; unprecedented and unparalleled
the record of their achievements: great and
honorable the annals of their deeds. Des-
tiny or mans wisdom, call it which you
will, has placed both Asia and the islands
of the sea under American tuition, and has
made the flag of freedom the harbinger of
better things to 5000, 000, 900 people, the
natural distribution point for whose more
than $500, O00, 900 commerce is under the
sovereignty of the United States.
Surely the future is big with possibilities.
To be a parent and responsible for the de-
velopment and education of the baby in
the cradle is a great charge; to be of the
faculty of university with 1000 students
is quite enough to make one thoughtful
and serious, but to be a citizen of the
United States, commissioned to instruct a.
strange and ancient people in things new
and in ways righteous and in acts honor
able, and to be answerable to the world
and to God for results, should inspire, not
pride, but humility, and should demand of
the least and of all the exercise of great
est wisdom.
The Grand Spectacle OF the Day.
The great public spectacle of the
day was the parade and escort to the
president, from the white house to the
east front of the capitol, where the
president reviewed the marching thou
sands. At the head of the parade rode
Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, chief mar
shall, in full uniform, mounted on SUI
perb charger. His staff included Brig.
Gen. Breckenridge and many other
prominent officers, mounted and in uni
form, presenting brilliant appear
ance. The military forces participat-
ing included artillery, cavalry, marines
and sailors.
The head of the escort reached the
capitol about two o'clock. AS 1t
moved along Pennsylvania avenue
there was tremendous cheering. The
presidential party was d center OF
attraction. The president sat in an
open victoria smiling and lifting his
hat to the salvos along the line. With
him sat Senator Hale, while the cab
met officers followed in carriages and
shared in the ovations.
Governors Cheered.
Vying with the presidential party
in the interest excited was the nota-
hle procession of governors of the
states and territories, with their
stats and military escorts. This gave
q touch of individual interest to the |
