by Grant, administered It to Hayes,
Fuller, appointed by Cleveland. admin
istered it to Benjamin Harrison, Cleve
land (the second time) and Mckinley.
The longest inaugural address on rec
ord was that of William Henry Harri-
son, which was indeed formidable, COM
prising S,57S words. The shortest in
augural address was Washington's sec
ond. consisting of only 1874 words. Lin
coins second comes next to it in point
of brevity. Polk's, Benjamin Harri.
sons and Monroe's were long, but they
fell short of William Henry Harrison's
by about 1000 words.
Socially the most important function
incident to an Inauguration Of late
years IS the ball, which gives sort Of
finishing touch to the festivities of an
exciting day. All of our twenty eight
inaugurations in the past beginning
with Washington's first, have had this
adjunct except seven. These were
Washington's second, Adams, both O.;
Jefferson's, Jackson's first, Pierce's and
Hayes. In each case the absence Of
the bail feature has been significant Of
the state of the popular mind or the
scruples of the administration domina-
ting the occasion. Thus during Wash
ington's first administration violent
criticisms were launched against him
on account Of his alleged fondness for
courtly and monarchical ceremonies,
and as an offset to these criticisms
Washington at his second Inauguration
and Adams when his turn came elm
mated the ball feature entirely. When
Jefferson came into the kingdom, pledg-
ed as he and his party were to intro
duce reforms and restore simplicity Of
government, he. too. felt constrained
to eliminate the ball, and did so, al
though he had no scruples about attend
ing the ball in honor Of his successor,
Madison. Likewise jackson, pledged

the debating society of a certain theo.

were all young men deadly I'm earnest.
One Of these gentlemen in the course
Of the debate, with strong indignation
evident in his voice, addressed the

seemed to enjoy the exercises.
Grants Show the Best.
The grand ball given in the north
wing of the treasury on the night of
Grants first Inauguration ecl!psed all
affairs of its kind up to that date.
Grants second inaugural ball, however,
held in temporary building in Judi
ciary Square, was even more note
worthy, not because of its brilliancy,
or of the fact that tickets cost $40 each,
but on account of q mere accident of
weather. No provision had been made
for heating the building, and as the
thermometer that night fell to four de-
grees above zero, with a bowling gale
blowing, the dancers found themselves
in pitiable plight. The ladies We're
obliged to retain their wraps entire and
the gentlemen their hats and overcoats
The supper, which was elaborate and
expensive. was a frigid repast. The
ornamental devices in ice cream We're
frozen doubly and the champagne and
punch were deserted for hot coffee,
which was the only hot thing at the
supper. The dancers were literally
frozen out before midnight.
Garfield's inaugural ball was held in
the unfinished National Museum Build
ing and was brilliant affair. The dec
orations were the finest ever seen in
Washington.
Cleveland's first inaugural ball. at the
Pension Office, then newly completed
and gorgeously decorated for the occa-
sion, was a truly memorable function.
More than 5000 people filled the build
ing at one time, while many thousands
more outside awaited an opportunity
to enter. The new President arrived at
10 o'clock and led off in the grand
march with Miss Katharine Bayard
daughter of his Secretary Of State, on
his arm.

white farmers and their children with the principle staple bringing such small returns However, the salvation was in sight for the men with property who were being affect ed. They came to a conclusion which summed up. was about as follows: we are ruined unless we can manu- fracture our own staple and give the world the finished products at prices that will enable us and those that come after LIS to live.
 So everything worked together Tor good. As soon as the capital began to be placed in new cotton mills the white farmers and thei children adapted themselves to factory work It was both necessary and felle1 from onerous conditions. Their Anglo Saxon blood made them capable of the change. And so the spind'as are running with a labor found waiting the opportunity for work.

GERMANY BEATS UNCLE SAM. Buys Caroline Islands, Which Wanted to
 Be Annexed to Us.

Germany $ purchase of the Caroline islands from Spain had already drawn public attention to this little-known Pacific group. when a suggestion was made to America which is certainly eE
 tertaining though hardly to be enter tained. The king and head man of kusaie, one of the eastarnmost of the CaroliRcs. sent petition to congress representing that as they had been in intercourse With the America. people for forty-s2ven years-shat is, with l American missionaries, traders ana whalers-and had, both in th.s manner and otherwise, acquired kao o@ledge of our institutions, they wished to be annexed to the United States. It is assumed that the people who expressed this amiable preference did not know that they were about to be acquired l by Germany. The Caroline group in- cludes, besides coral islands, five noun tainous islands of basaltic formation. beautiful and fertile with rivers and springs, says Harper's Weekly. To the aorth are the Ladrone islands, and to the west are the Philippines. Among the many queer legends of these chil- dren of the Pacific there is none more highly improbable than their theory as to the origin of these islands and their inhabitants. They think they them
 selves were very strong in the water in fact, they lived in it. The story goes that a woman and her children were floating around on the reef, when a man appeared from the west with a basket of soil on his shoulders He had started out to make an island with mountain on it. One of the children cried out to him: Give us a little soil to make a place for our mother to rest, for she is very weak and cannot swim" He took out 6 handful of the earth and threw it down. making an island As the man was going on his way over the water the son slyly made a hole in tho Basket: so, as ne proceeded on his way, he became conscious that the basket seemed light, and, looking around, he saw the land. In his anger he turned about and trod upon it, and thus the island was formed.

IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED.

X matter which should have the immediate attention of the city au- thorities is the indiscriminate use of fobert rifles by children in the city
 Last Saturday a small boy who at tends the First ward school was shot in the leg and seriously wounded by another boy who was shooting at some birds Of course the wounding of the boy was purely accidental, but many similar accidents and probably fatal ones, are going to occur if the proper authorities do not put stop to the indiScriminate shooting of guns by children and others within the city limits. It is dangerous to life. There is an ordinance prohibiting the dis charge of firearms within the city, and it is time that it was being rigidly enforced. In fact, it has been put off entirely too long.
 There is no excuse for discharging firearms within the city limits, and this is especially true in the case of children, as they do net exercise any discretion at ail, but when out with gun. shoot promiscuously at every bird which comes in sight, without taking any Eote of what may be the probable consequences.
 There should be no further delay in enforcing the ordinance and putting q check to this practice before other accidents may occur which if no more serious than the one which has already occurred would still subject those whose duty it is to enforce the ordinance to charge of criminal neg lgence.

LABOR IN THE SOUTH.

Tn the current number of the Forum is an Interesting recital of facts from d writer who profeSses to be informed on conditions below the Mason and Dixon line Under the head, "A New Class of Labor in the South. he points out that the number of spindles in the cotton mills has increased from 667 900 to 1000 ,000 in nineteen years, while the number of operatives has passed from 10000 to 250 900.
 Whence comes this great aggregate of workers? asks the St. Louis Re public Years ago the possibility of cotton mills being built in the South was secuted for the reason that there was no mechanic class to operate the mills. Nevertheless, the eXigencies of industrial life have created a laboring class that is now at work running the millions of spindics.
 At the close of the civil war, cotton commanded $l d pound. The price quickly fell te what was believed it's normal levcl =t5 cpnts-and then the large plantations were subdiYided into small tracts under the control of indi- viduals. This method of farm cultiva- tion was called tenant farming Bad as the system was, there seemed to he no other substitute for the old slave system that had been abolished
 As the blacks began to get firmel footing on their small patches of land the production Of cotton expanded m iii it went down to { cents . pound At this price the negro could still make . living and he happy while thc poor white tenant farmer barely made a hand-to-mouth existence Wives and children laborea in the fields witt hope almost gone.
 Apparently this condition might have continued indefinitely had not the cotton product fallen to 412 cent: pound That was the end Tht
