THE INAUGURATION.

The ceremony Of Installing President of the
United States in Office is lacking in some ele-
iaents OF human interest when il does not mark
the transfer Of power from one political party TO
3nother. and there is still less to crafty the
sense OF curiosity when a Chief Magistrate
begins a second term on the day which ends
his first. Nevertheless, the national capital was
tlTonged yesterday with visitors from all parts
OF the country. and most Of the accounts appear
10 agree that the record of attendance WAS
broken. However that may be. there was album
dant and gratifying evidence that popular feel

November was formally fulfilled Happily the
hiase spirit which esteems all spectacles bore

But though the attraction of novelty and NOS

c0uF LAWMAKERS DILATORT.

Various critics of the legislature have been
severe in their reproaches because of what they
condemned as the leisurely methods and the
diatory ways of our State Senators ana Assem-
bymen. But when the customs and practlces
of the lawmakers in the State House are com
pared with the Incidence, the negligence ana the
obstructiveness of the majorities in the Coun-
ell and the Board of Aldermen in this city the
achievements at Albany shine brilliantly by
contrast II would not be easy to get together
anywhere in the United States bodies of citizens
charged with important duties who are more
Indifferent 70 public opinion, more inclined to
carelessness and lazness than many of the
politicians from the Council and aldermen's dis
tricts who meet in our City Hall. Most OF their
proceedings are carried on so loosely and list
lessly and with so little zeal for the public vel
fare that they are frequently spoken Of as
affording striking examples of the policy of
accomplishing little nothing of practical
value except after ineXcusahle delays. Our
Council and Board of Aldermen need heroic
treatment aud great deal of unsparing cenSure.
But when the work of the State legislature
is compared not with that of.iocal councilmen
and aldermen, but with the labors of Senators
and Assemblymen in other States, the summing
up is not to the disadvantage of Albany. Last
wear the Great and General Court of Massachu-
setts as the legislature of the old Bay state Is
called. sat for 1876 days. and the legislature OF
Ohio was in session for 106. Our statesmen in
Albany held sessions for only "a days. In
population and in vastly diversified interests
tie Empire State is considerably ahead of Ohio
and a long distance in the lead of Massachu-
setts 1t is not TO the discredit of New York's
legislative body that it finished it's labors last
year in less than one-half the number of days
,1n1a thn
golden dome of the State House which over
looks Beacon-st. and Boston Common, and in a
somewhat smaller number of days than that
occupied by the statesmen assembled in Colum-
bus So many harsh things are said OF the
Senate and Assembly in this State that the
opportunity for a word in their favor now and
then should not be passed by lightly.

tendencies that opposition evaporates into thin
air The minority may have sunk so low that
they will betray the country for the sake or
petty appropriation here and there, or equally
dishonest, they may have been indulging In in
sincere characterization Of Republican policies
as runous when they really regarded those
policies as the best possible under the cir
oamstances. The cause for their inconsistency
and inactivity may be an interesting subject for
speculation But whatever it be. the minority
have practically abdicated opposition as seri-
ous function of government and joined the Re-
publican majority in responsibility for what is
being done in Cuba and the Philippines.

ON A SOUND BASIS.
From O Mere Pastime Poultry Keep
Ing Has Developed Into a Sound
and Safe Business.

Half century ago poultry keeping
was simply q fashionable amusement
and pastime. The beginning may be
said to be about 1847 to 1850, at the
time of the introduction of the Shang>
hais. Those who have some knowledge
OF the history Of the past have fair
idea Of what poultry has accomplished.
The casual observer Of years ago saw
only enough Of 1t to disgust him with
the whole business. Men who were
engaged in it saw enough money In IL,
and as many as had Judgment enough
to c>irtail expenses and reduce stock
at the right time came out with little
money and more or less experience. the
latter worth perhaps as much in the
long run as the money. A great many
so-called fanciers, however, went into
the business merely for the sake of the
speculation and excitement 1t afforded,
and went out of it without knowing
OF caring anything about the ultimate
results. Of the. poultry interest at large.
Fanciers Of this type (and it is possible
that there are few of them In the
business yeti were interested only in
the proceeds, with no thought of what
poultry breeding has done for the i'm
provement Of the 6. neral stock of the
country and the In Tease of the prod
ucts of the poultry fards of the nation.
There have always been some fanciers
who were true fan tiers not specu-
lators-who worked for nobler ends
than merely to ID IKE money. The
money end, of cour e, was not lost sight
of, but it was not the governing pur-
pose.-Farm and Fireside.
