assurance of an invading army, and

INAUGURAL ADDRESS
APLEA TO PRESERVE
NATIONAL INTEGRITY
The inaugural address follows

My fellow citizens: No people on
earth have more cause to be thankful
than ours, and this is said reverently.
and in no spirit of boastfulness in our
own strength, but with gratitude TO
the Giver of good who has blessed us
with the conditions which have en-
abled us to achieve so large a meas
ure of well being and of happiness
To us as a people it has been granted
TO lay the foundations of our national
life in a new continent.
We are the heirs of the ages. and
yet we have had 10 pay few of the pen
alties which in old countries are ex-
acted by the dead hand of a bygone
civilization. We have not been Obliged
to fight for our existence against any
alien race; and yet our life has called
for the vigor and effort without which
the manlier and harder virtues with
er away. Under such conditions it
would be our own fault if We failed
and the success which We have had in
the past. the success which We conf
IDENTIFY believe the future will bring,
should cause in us no feeling of vain
glory, but rather a deep and abiding
realization of all which life has offer
ed us; a full acknowledgment Of rC.
sponsibility which is ours; and a fixed
determination TO show that under
free government mighty people can
thrive best. alike as regards as the
things of the body and the things of
the soul.
Can Shirk No Duties.
Much has been given to us. and
much will rightfully be. expected from
US. We have duties TO others. as
duties 10 ourselves; and we can shirk
neither We have become a great na-
ton. forced by the fact of its greatness
into relations with the other nations
of the earth: and we must behave as

Towards all other nations. large and
small. our attitude must be one of cor
dial and sincere friendship. We must
show not only in our words. but in
our deeds that we are earnestly DESTROYS

toward them in a spirit of just and
generous recognition OF all their rights.
But justice and generosity in q IA

HIS First Abbearance.

Men still call wildly to mind the en-
peror's first meeting with one of the
historic institutions Of the empire. 1t
was a raw November day In 1894. The
members of the state council, many Of
them veteran officials who had served
the cars great-grandfather, were con
vened TO do homage to the new mon
arch and long before the time fixed
were gathered together at the appoint
ed place, their bodies covered with gor-
geous costumes and their faces hidden
with courtly masks expressive Of awe
and admiration. But he came and went
like a Whit of wind IN a sandy waste,
leaving them rubbing their eyes. They
had expected imperial majesty, but
were confronted with childish con-
straint, a stumbling gait, n furtlve
glance and spasmodic movements. An
understood. pIthless lad sidled into the
apartment in which these hoary dig
nitaries We're respectfully awaiting
him. With downcast eyes and in a
shrill faIsettO voice he hastily spoke n
single sentence. Gentlemen, I'm the
name of my late father / thank you
for your services" hesitated for a sec
Ond, and then. turning on his heels,
he was gone. They loo'.ed at each 9th
er. some in amazement others in pain.
many uttering a mental prayer for
the veal Of the nation, and after an
awkward pause they dispersed to their
homes

majesty took place a few days later

" y recent number OF the Quarter
ly Review of London appeared a
IL. remarkable article about En-
peror Nicholas II. of Russia. The ar
ticle. which is considered an anthem
tic pen picture of the car and his
court, government and country, was
written by a Russian official OF high
rank. Extracts from the article are
given below:
The Emperor Nicholas IL. has already
reigned for more than ten years and
ruled for fully eight, yet the concrete
man, his individual character and the
order of motives to which ii is sensible
are nearly all as legendary as those of
Numa Pompilius. Clouds of journals
tic myths, mainly of German origin,
enwrap his figure. hiding it from the
vulgar gaze IS thoroughly as though
he were the dalai lama, and the fanci-
full portrait which we are asked to ac-
cept is as abstract and as colorless as
that of our legendary Russian princes.
Beyond the precincts Of the palace his
person is transtigured his most trivial
deeds are glorified. and his least dis
interested motives are twisted and
pulled into line with the fundamental
principles of ethics. The result is
caricature closely bordering on the
grotesQue NikolaI Alexandrovitch Is
depicted as Il prince of peace. n Slav
Messiah sent for the salvation not for
his own people only, but of all the
world. The most precious porcelain of
human clay was lavished in the max
ing Of this unique ruler, who stands
upon a much higher level than that OF
the common run of mOrtals or of kings
in virtue not only of the dread respon-
sibilities laid upon him by the Most
High, but also by reason of his own
passionate love of humanity and his
devotion to the true and the good.
But no newspaper hero is n prophet
in his own country for long. and Mich
olas ii. did not play the part in Russin
for more than twelvemonth. His
fathers reign had ended in utter moral
exhaustion. in the blasting Of hopes.
the killing OF enthusiasm, the black
ness of despair. Better things were
confidently expected of the son, be-
cause worse We're rashly held to be Inn
possible. But the credulous masses
were again mistaken and soon became
conscious of their error.
Nicholas II. began his reign in 1894
as a highly sensitive. retiring young
man. who shrank instinctively from the
fierce light that beats upon the throne.
In spite OF his camp experience he was
still his mothers child. passivity his
predominant trait and diffidence one OF
