Grover Cleveland, of New York.thrice

Tho parking on ell her side wrb covered
with virgin snow, the trees were wldto

tho bright color of regimental flags nnd
myriad points of shining stool. In tin
radiating avenues were long lines of
military, the doop blue of the infantry
•plashed with tho red of tho artillery and
the yellow of tho cavalry far as the eye
could reach.
The steps of the house and senate
were black with people nnd overhead

Closely related to exaggerated confidence in
onr country’s great net*, which tends to the
d xri gavd of tho rules of national safety, an-
o'her danger confronts us not Ic»b serious.
I refer to tho prevalence of the popular dis
position to expect from tho operation of the
government especial and direct individual ad-
vantages.
The verdict of our voters, which condemned
the injustice of maintaining protection for
protection’s sake, enjoin i upon the people’s
servants tho duty of exposing and destroying
tho brood of kindred evils which are the un
wholesome progeny of pateriHli-in. This is
the bane of republican institution) and tho
constant peril of out* government by tho peo
ple. It do radcs to the p
(he# country—senator*, representatives,
prominent politicians, governors of states.

It perverts tho patriotic sentiment of our
countryman and tempts them to the pitiful cal-
cu'aiion of sordid gain to be derived from their
government’s maiut nancr*.
It undermine* the self reliance of our peo
ple, and substitutes in its placo dependence
upon governmental favoritism. It stifles the
spirit of truo Americanism nnd stupefies cvi.ry
Mumbling trait of American citizenship.
TAKING TlltS OATH.
At tho concusloo of his remarks Mr.
Cleveland turned around to tho chief
justico. who was attired in tho robes of
his office, to take the oath prescribed by
tho constitution. Chief Justice Fuller
and other persons near tho president re
moved their hats, and with bared heads
listened to tho taking of tho oath of
ofllce, wnten was pronouncca r>y utiier
Justico Fuller in a clear voice, Mr. Cleve

and kissing the Bible. The oath taken
by the president is what is known as tho | and their party went upstairs to their

\ great shout wont up from fifty thoil-
tunds throats ns tho procession moved
down to take their places on tho plat

ladles back but tlin judges of tho su
premo court, the senators nnd roproson-
lives heavily muffled In their overcoats
braved tiro storm. Some of Mr. Cleve
land's friends wanted him In deliver bis

After nil had seated Mr. Cleveland
arose from hin scat between Mr. Harri

was blowing fiercely in his face but Mr. |
Cleveland breasted it sturdily nnd mnn-
fully. For twenty minutes ho spoke,
and so penotrating was his voice iu the

compelled to desist from participation.
Nevertheless the occasion was mado mem
orable by tlm vast attendnuoo.
Disappointed but undaunted by tbo
snow, great hosts poured out to partici
pate iu tho second inaugural of Grover
Cleveland. Tbo old scenes wore repeat
ed, the massing of humanity, rank nml
file, surging crows with thousands fring
ing tho roof liuc, the bouyant of legions
breasting the storm and maroliing into
the tangle of streets for places in tho
grand parade, numberless knots and
lines of soldiery, gleaming bayonets,
ringing bugle calls, the rattle of drums,
prancing horses, miles of hunting heavy,
with snow nnd icu flapping iu thu air.
On the great standing terraced wooden
stands that lined the avruuo ptoitlo were
S acked like cigarettes iu a hunch, aliud-
Bring with cold, waiting impatiently for
the pageantry.
The galleries built In front of tho build
ings were black with people and the
housetops were fringed with them. Boys
climbed trees and hung like fruit on the
bare limbs. Thoy clambered liko monkeys
up telegraph poles nud perched ou awn

This was the condition of things nt 11
o'clock. From that time on, In nml out
of tho cnpitol a vague system was per
ceptible through the distracting confu
sion. While the troops nnd civic organ
isations were marching hack of the capitol
the ceremonies inside wero going on. The
g alleries of the senate wero hanked to the

dressed ladies.
Then cainu tho judges of tho supreme

Following them, Speaker Crisp led the

There was a slight pause when Vice
President-elect Stevenson appeared at
tho main door ou the arm of Senator
McPherson. A moment later Mr. Clove-

The closing scenes in the senate were
very interesting. From tho time tho

they were closed on account of lack of
room nt 11 o’clock, the pooplo poured in.
Tho galleries wero packed and jammed
until standing room was not to bo found.
The diplomatic corps gallery was full to

A farm without a tool house is like

Knowledge was never before so cheap

Dependence on a single crop may prove

No one yet knows tho capacity of soil

When his stock is not improving, the

T COSTS MORE to make Royal Bak
ing Powder than any other, because its
ingredients are more highly refined and
expensive. But the Royal is correspon
dingly purer and higher in leavening strength,
and of greater money value to the consumer.
The difference in cost of Royal over the best of
the others does not equal the difference in leav
ening strength, nor make good the inferior work
of the cheaper powders, nor remove the impuri
ties which such powders leave in the food.
Where the best food is required, the Royal
Baking Powder only can be used.
Tho Grout Missouri Botanical Garden.
Tho late Henry Shaw, of St. Louis,
was a wealthy man. At forty years of
age in- retired from business with an am
ple fortune, laid out a garden, planted
an arboretum, and devoted the remainder
of a long life to the cure anil develop
ment thereof, lie died in 1889. By his
will lie devised these grounds and nearly
Ids entire estates to trustees named
therein to establish and maintain a ho
tauic garden with museum anti library
connected therewith, to he devoted to
tlio science of botany, horticulture,
and allied objects. And this ’ Missouri
Botanical Garden” is in successful op
eration. The apprised value of the cs
tatc in 1890 was $8,000,000, yielding nt
that time $50,000, although a large
amount of tho property is unimproved
real estate in the outskirts of Ht. Louis,
aud will in coming time become of im
mense value. This will make this botanic
garden the best endowed institution of
Ihe kind that ever existrd, and will
make St. Louis the botanical contrc of
tho new world, and draw students from
every quarter of the globe. Six scholar
ships have boon founded, each for six
yeura [for scholars from fourteen to twen
ty years of age], tho instruction to liu on
economic botany nnd entomology, with
uch land surveying nnd book keeping
ns is uecessnry for the management of
largo estates; but each candidate must
havo a natural taste for tlio manual labor
of gardening, atul receive thorough
training in it.
