“The world is governed too much.
We do not remember who is entitied to
the credit of the first utterance of this
remark, but it is true. There is a dis
position, growing stronger every year, to
have everything regulated by tbe govern
ment. Before the days of railroads, if a
man had established a wagon trail, lon
ger or shorter, and had charged more
than bis neighbors thought reasonable
for hauling, no one would huve thought
of appealing to the g ivernment to make
him haul for less; they would simply
have hunted up some one who would bo
contented with less, and employed him.
When individuals are concerned, compe
tition is considered a sufficient protection
from extortion: why should it not lie so
in the case of corporations? It is some
times said that a railroad already estab
lished will carry freight at a loss for years,
to crush out a rival road just started.
Tbe owner of the wagon lino first estab
lished might do the same thing; would
you appeal to the government ?
CEKVELANII'B INAUGURATION.
The president elect reached Washing
ton at 7A.M. on the 3rd met. During
the day he called on President Arthur;
with this exception, he remained in his
room, receiving calls. The streets were
crowded nearly the whole 24 hcurs,
Visitors estimated at 100,000, or more.
As much as SSO was offered for a ticket
to the inauguration ceremonies, of which
each congressman had two, and no others
wore issued; and 115 for a ticket to the
ball, the regular price of which was $5.
The procession was the largest and finest
ever seen in Washington. Cleveland,
Hendricks, Fitz Hugh Lee, Hancock,
and Arthur, were loudly cheered. The
decoration of the outsido of the houses
was going on for two weeks, and the show
was beautiful. A floral ladder, reaching
to the top of one of the houses, I ore on
its rounds the words, “Sheriff,”
“Mayor,'' "Governor," "President/’’
The police found it difficult to open a
way through the crowd for the admission
of senators and ladies who accompanied
them. After the inauguration the presi
dent returned to the White House, and
the different organizstionr, civil and
military, numbering 25,000 or more,
matched before him in procession. A
grand display of fireworks, and tho in
augural ball, wound up the festivities of
tho occasion.

President Arthur looks 15 years older
than he did four years ago. A special to
the New York WtirW accuses him of
showing great disregard for the feelings
of others.
The president's sister, Miss R. E-
Cleveland, will preside in the White

‘ INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
Fellow Citizens: In the presence of
this vast assemblage of my countrymen,
I am about to supplement and seal by the
oath which I shall lake the manifestation
of the will of a great and free people. In
tbe exercise of their power and right of
self-government, they have committed to
one of their fellow-citizens a supreme
and sacred trust, and he here consecrates
himself to their service. This impressive
ce cmony adds little to the solemn sense
of responaibilify with which I contem
plate the duty I owe to all the people of
the land. Nothing can relieve me from
anxiety lest by any act of mine their
interests may suffer, and nothing is
needed to strengthen my resolution to
engage every faculty and effort in the
promotion of their welfare. Amid the
din of party strife, the people’s choice
was made, but itsattendant circumstances
have demonstrated anew the strength
and safety cfa government by the people.
In each succeeding year it more clearly
appears that our Democratic principle
needs no apology, and that in its fearless
and faithful application is to be found
tbe surest guaranty of good government;
but the best results in the operation of a
government wherein every citizen has a
share largely depend upon a proper lim
itation of purely partisan zeal and effort,
and a correct appreciation of the lime
when the heart of the partisan should be
merged in the patriotism of the citizrn-
To-day the Executive branch of the
Government is transferred to new keep
ing, but this is still the government of all
tho people, and it should bo none the
loss an object of their affecti mate solici
tude. At this hour the animosities ol
political strife, tho bitterness of partisan
defeat, and tbe exultation of partisan
triumph, should bo supplanted by an
ungrudging acquiesconoe in the popular
will, and a sober, conscientious concern
for tho general weal. Moreover, it from
this hour we cheerfully and honestly
abandon all sectional prejudice and dis.
trust, and determine with manly c-’iifr
donee in one another to woik out harmo
niously the achievements of our national
destiny, wo shall deserve to realize al|
the benefits which our happy form of
government ean bestow. On this aus
picious ocoa-ion wo may! well renew tbe
pledge of our devotion to the constitution
which, launched by the founders of tbe
republic, and consecrated by their prayers
and patriotio devotion, has for almost a
century borne the hopes and aspirations
of a great people through prosperity and
peace, and through tbe shock of foreign
conflicts and the perils of domestic strife
and vicissitudes. By the Father of his
Country our Constitution was commended
for adoption as "the result of a spirit of
amity and mutual concession." In that
same spirit it should be administered, in
order to promote the lasting welfare of
the country, and to secure tho full
measures of its priceless benefits to us
and to those who will succeed to tho
blessings of our nat ionsl li'e. The large
variety of diverse and competing interests
subject to Federal control, persistently
seeking the recognition-of their claims,
need give us no fear that “the greatest
good to the greatest number" will fail to
be accomplished, if in tie halls of national
legislation that spirit of amity and mutual
concession shall prevail in which the
constitution had its birth. If this in
volves the surrender or postponement of
private interest, or ths abandonment of
local advantages, compensation will bo
found in the assurance that thus the
common interest is subserved and the
general welfa-o advanced.
In discharge of my official duty, I shall
endeavor to be guided by a just and un
strained construction of the constitution,
a careful observance of the distinction
between tho powers granted to the
Federal government and those rose ved
to the States and tho people, and by a
cautious appreciation of those functions
which by the constitution and laws have
been especially'assigned to the executive
branch of the government. But ho who
takes tho oath to day to preserve, protect
and defend the constitution of the United
States, only assumes the solemn obliga
tion which every patriotic citizen, on the
farm, in the work shop, in the busy
marts of trade, and everywhere, should
share with him. The constitution which
prescribes hia oath, my countrymen, is
yours; the government you have chosen
him to administer for a time is yours; the
suffrage which executes tho will of free
men is yours; the laws and the entire
scheme of our civil rules, from the town
meetings to the State Capitols and the
national Capitol, is yours. Your every
voter, as surely as your chief magistrate,
under the same high sanction, though in
a different sphere, exercises a public
trust. Nor is this all—every citizen owes
to the country a vigilant wateh and a
close scrutiny of its public servants, and
a fair and reasonable estimate of their
fidelity and usefulness. Thus is the
people’s will impressed upon the whole
f rame-work of our civil polities, munici
pal, State and Federal, and this is the
price of our liberty and the inspiration of
our fait lx iu the Republic.
It is tbe duty of thoso serving the people '
in public places to closely limit public ex- j
peuditures to the actual needs of govern ■
meet economically administered, because i
this bounds the right of the government ■
to exact tribute from the earning of I,Lor
or the property of the citizen, and be-i
cause public extravagance begets extrav
agance among tbe people. We should -
never be ashamed of the simplicity and ;
prudential economies which are best
suited to the operation of a republican I
form of government and most compatible
with tbe mission of the American people.
Those who are selected fora limited time
to manage public affairs are still of the
people, and may do much by their ex-

M. F. McLAURIN, General Agent, Rome, Ga.
The increase of crop and maintenance of the fertility ot the soil, are the objects of greatest
interest to farmers.
cultivated^ 8 * ron * Arming are inexact proportion to the production per acre to the crop
lhe cost of planting and cultivating is the same whether the yield be little or much. As the
profit is round in the price realized over the first cost, it is of the utmost importance to make
everv acre of land cultivated yield its largest possible produc*.
You cannot keep up the fertility of your soil unless you restore to it what you take away from
it oy constant cropping.
It is a fact beyond question, that the soil in the Cotton States is so exhausted from long culti
vation, that it cannot produce remunerative crops without the annual application of proper Fer
tilizers.
How> hall this oxhaustation be replaced? By the application of concentrated crop food—
HOMESTEAD GUANO—containing all tbe elements of nourishment required by the crop being
raised. It adds permanent value to your soil,
“HOMESTEAD GUANO” is rnada with Bone Black as the basis. Is highly ammoniated, and
specially adapted for southern soils.

ample to encourage, consistently with the
digni'y of their official functions, that
plain way of life which among their
fellow-citizens aids integrity and promotes
thrift and prosperity.
Tho genius of our constititutions, the
needs of our people in their home life,
and tho attention which is demanded for
the settlement aud development of the ;
resources of our va,t territory, dictate
tho scrupulous avoidance of any depart
ure from that foreign policy commended
by tho hixtory, the traditions and the
prosperity of our republic. It is the
policy of independence, favored by our
position and defended by our power. It
is the policy of peace suitable to our in
terests; it is tho policy of neutrality,
rejecting any share in foreign broils and
ambitions upon other continents, and
repelling their intrusion hero. It is tho
policy of Monroo and of Washington and
Jackson —peace, commerce, and honest
friendship with all nations, entangling
alliances with none.
A due regard for the interests and
prosperity of all the people demands that
our finances shall be established upon
such a sound and sensible basis as ahull
secure tho safety and confidence of the
business interests and make tho wages of
labor sure and steady, and that our
system of revenue shall he so adjusted as
to relieve tho people from unnecessary
taxation, having a due regard to the
capital invested and workingmen employ
odin American industries,and preventing
the accumul.u ion <( a surplus in tho
treasury io tempt extravagance and
waste.
Care for the prosperity of the nation
and the needs of future settlers requires
that the public domain should bo pro- '
tected from purloining schemes and un
lawful occupation.
Tho conscience of the people demands
that tho Indians within our boundaries
shall be fairly and honestly treated as
wards of the government, and their’
education and civilization promoted with
a view to their ultimate citizenship; and
that polygamy in the territories—destruc
tive of the family relation and offensive
to lhe moral sense of the civilized world
—shall bo repressed. The law should be
rigidly enforced which prohibits the im
migration of servile classes to compete
with American labor, with no intention
of acquiring citizens! ip, and bringing
with them and retaining habits and cus
toms repugnant to our civilizat on.
The people demand reform in the
administration of the government, and
the application of business principles to
public affairs. As a moans to this end,
civil service reform should be in good
faith enforced. Our citizens have the
right if protection from the incompetency
of public employes who hold their places
solely as the reward of partisan service,
aud from tho corrupting influence of
thoso who promise, and the viuicus
methods of those who expect, such re
wards; and those who worthily seek public
employment have the right to insist that
merit aud competency shall be recognized
instead of party subserviency or the
surrender of honest political belief.
In the administration of a government
pledged to do equal and exact justice to
all men, there should be no pretext for
anxiety touching the protection of the
freedmen in their rights, or their security
in tho enjoyment of their privileges under
the constitution and its amendments.
All disputation as to their fitness for tbe
place accorded to them as American
citizens is idle and unprofitable, except
as it suggests the necessity for their im
provement. The fact that they are citi
zens entitles them to all the rights due to 1
that relation, and charges them with all |
its duties,obligations aud responsibilities, j
These topics and the constant and ever- |
varying wants of an active and enterpri- i
sing population may well receive the
attention aud the patriotic endeavor of
all who make and execute the Federal [
law. Our duties are practical, aud call
for industrious application and intelligent i
perception of the claims of public office, ’
and, above all, a firm determination by !
united action to secure to all the people 1
of the land the full benefits of the best :
form of government ever vouchsafed to
man; aud let us not trust to human effort
alone, but humbly acknowledging the
power aud goodness ot Almighty God, ’
who presides over the destiny of nations,
aud who has at all times been revealed iu
our country’s history—let us invoke His
aid aud His blessing upon our labors.

and frequent making of water, but gave it
no thought until about the time stated,
when the almost constant desire to make
water became unendurable. The pain in
the back, and sometimes in the legs, made
me so lame at times that I could scarcely
walk. I consulted one of the best doctors
in this city, and was under his constant
treatment for one entire year without de
riving the least benefit. I then consulted
from tiin ■ to tiin during the hast five or
six years, six other physicians, each one
standing in the front rank of the medical
profession in New Orleans, .and though I
s imetimes was n little relieved ot some
excruciating suffering, yet upon lhe whole
I was not only no better, but in mwv re
spects much worse. My limb-, became so
swollen and sore that I could not cross
mv legs when sitting on a chai'-—all of
which, they said, was caused bv diabetes.
I then tried some highly Lauded patent
medicine. But they all turned out to be
humbugs. I had given up all hopes of
ever getting relief, much less being cured,
when I noticed in the pipers some won
derlul cures that Perlna hit! made in
this city, as prescribed by Dr. Hartman,
giving the name and .address nf each per
son treated. I called to see him; he at
once prescribed his Perun A, which is not
over three weeks. a?o. I am so much
better that if I would not improve any
more, I would not for any amount that I
had not placed myself under his treat
ment. AU tny pain and lameness is gone.
The swelling and stiffness in mv legs has
disappeared, and instead of making water
every fifteen minutes, I now make it once
in three hours during the day, and only
twice in a whole night. I am, indeed,
quite well again. Don't hesitate, don’t
say humbug, but get the Perun a at once
and take it as its printed label directs, or,
if you think this is only an advertisement,
and not strictly true, call and see me and
see for yourself.”
Mrs. Huldah Riple, Smethport. Mc-
Kean county, Pa„ writes: “ Dr. S. B.
Hartman. & Co.,Columbus, O. 1 have
used your Pfruna and it has done me a
great deal of good. Have recommended it
to many of my friends, who have since ex
pressed themselves as wonderfully pleased
w:th its virtues."
