Fellow Citizens: In the presence
of this vast aceemblage of my coun
trvrnen, I am almut to supplement
jo.id seal by the oath which I shall
take the manifestations of the will
i of a great and free people. In the
i exercise of their power and the
right of self-government,'they have
committed to one of their fellow-
citizens a supreme and sacred trust
ahd he here consecrates himself to
their service. This impressive cer
emony adds little to the solemn
sense of responsibility with which
I contemplate the duty I owe to ad
the people, of .the land. Nothing call
rdipve from anxiety, le«t, bv any
act of mine, their interests may sur
fer, and nothing is needed to
strengthen my resolution to engage
every faculty and effort in the pro
motion of their welfare. Amid the
din of party strife, the people’s
choice was made, but its attendant
circumstances have demonstrated
j anew the strength and safety of a
government by the people.

the best results in the operation of
a government, wherein every citi
zen has a share, largely depend up
on a proper limitation ot purely
partisan zeal and effort, and a cor
rect appreciation of the time when
the heat-of the partisan should be
merged in the patriotism of the cit
izen. To-day the executive branch
of the government ls transferred to
new keeping, but this is still the
government of ail the people, and
it should be none the less an object
of their affectionate solicitude. At
this hour, the animosities of politi
cal strife, the bitterness of partisan
defeat and the exultation of parti
san triumph* should be supplanted
by an ungrudging acquiescence m
the popular will, and a sober, con
scientious concern for the general
weal.
SECTION A L AMITY U IKIED.
Moreover, if from this hour, we
cheerfully and honestly abandon
all sectional prejudice and distrust,
and determine, with manly confi
dence in one another, to work out
harmoniously the achievements of
our national destiny, we shall de
serve to realize all the benefits
which our happy form of govern
ment can bestow. On this auspici
ous occasion we may well renew
the pledge of our devotion to the
constitution, which, launched by
the founders of the republic, and
consecaated by their prayers and
patriotic devotion, has for almost a
century borne the hopes and the as
pirations of a great people through
prosperity and “peace, and through
the shock of foreign conflicts and
the perils of domestic strife and vic
issitudes. By the father of his coun
try our constitution was commend
ed for adoption, as “the result of a
spirit of amity and mutual conces
sion.” In that same spirit it should
be administered, in order to pro
mote the lasting welfare of the
country and to secure the full meas
ure of its priceless benefits to us and
to those who will succeed to the
blessings of our national life. The
large variety of diverse and com
peting 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 the
halls of national legislation, that
spirit of amity and mutual conces
sion shall prevail in which the con
stitution had its birth. If this invol
ves the surrender or the postpone
ment of private interests, and the
abandonment of local advantages,
compensation will be found in the
assurance that thus the common in
terest is subserved and the general
welfare advanced.
limit the public expenditures to the
actual needs of the government,
economically administered,because
this bounds the right of the govern
ment to exact tribute from the
earnings.of labor, or the properly of
the citizen, and because public ex
travagance begets extravagace
among the people. AVe should nev
er be ashamed of the simplicity and
prudential economies which are
best suited to the operation of a re
publican form of government, and
most compatible with the missions j
of the American people. Those j
who are selected for a limited time
to manage publie’affairs, are still of I
tlio people, and may do much by
their example’ to encourage, con
sistently witli the ’dignity of their
official functions, that plain way of

neutrality abroad, defence
AT HOME.
The genius'of our' institutions,
the needs of our people in their
home life, and th'e attention which
is deinanded'for the settlement and
developement of the resources of
our vast territory,’dictate thejscru-
pulous avoidance of any departure
from that.foreign policy amended
by the history, traditions and the
prosperity of our republic. It is tiie
policy of independence, favored by
our position and defended by our
known love of justice and.by om
power. It is tiie policy of peace
suitable to our inscrests. It is the
policy of neutrality, rejecting any
share in foreign broils and ambi
tions upon other continents, and
repelling their intrusions here. It
is the policy of Monroe and of
Washington and of Jefferson. Peace
commerce and honest friendship
with all nations; entangling alli
ances with none.
OUR FINANCIAL POLICY.
A due regard for the interests and
prosperity of all the people, demand
that our finances shall be establish
ed upon such a sound and sensible
basis as shall secure the safety and
confidence of business interests and
make the wage of labor sure and
steady; and that our system of rev
enue shall be so adjusted as to re
lieve the people from unnecessary
taxation, having a due regard to
the interests of capital invested
and workingmen employed in
American industries, and prevent
ing the accumulation of a surplus in
the treasury to tempt extravagance
and waste.
TIIE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
Care for the property of the na
tion, and for the needs of future set
tlers, require that the public do
main should be protected from pur
loining schemes and unlawful oc
cupations. The consciece of the
people demand that the Indians
within our boundaries shall be fair
ly and honestly treated as wards of
the government, and their educa
tion and civilization promoted,with
a view to their ultimate citizenship
and that polygamy in the territories,
destructive of the family relation
that they ara citizens entitles them
to all tiie rights due to that relation
and charges them witii all its duties
obligations and responsibili
ties.
PUBLIC INDUSTRY REQUIRED.
These topics,and the constant and
every varying wants of an active
and enterprising population, may
well receive the attention and the
patriotic endeavors of all who make
and execute the federal law. Our
duties are practical, and call for in
dustrious application. An intelli
gent perception oi the claims of
public office, and, above all, a firm
determination by united action to
secure to all the people of the land
the full benefits of the best form of
government ever vouchsafed to
man.
RELIANCE IN PROVIDENCE.
And let us-not only trust to hu
man effort alone, but humbly ac
knowledging the power and good
ness of the Almighty
God, who presides
ove.i the destiny of nations, and who
has at ail times been revered in our
country’s history, let us invoke His
aid and His blessings upon our la
bors.
From a Washington Letter.
Senator Garland’s < 'ounsellor.
It is known to only a few that
Senator Garland’s mother lives
here, keeping house for her big
boy, and being consulted by him
about all his political and personal
affairs. The Senator is a widower.
He has three or four children, two
or more with him here. The Sena
tor is very much devoted to his
mother, and she is to her son. lie
talks with her about all affairs, po
litical and personal,and in her finds
a wise and prudent counsellor. She
is thoroughly posted about political
affairs and is greatly interested in
the career of her boy. She goes
out Hut little, only returning the
calls of those with whom she is
more intimate. Although past
seventy years of age, she is in the
full* possession of her faculties.
A Washington correspondent of
the New York World says: “I have
see-ii somewhere about Washington
a photograph of the Senate at the
breaking out of the war. The tra
ditional, ideal statesman, you know

cises on monumental day. If may
be '.avid to be a characteristic of the
Washingtons,” said Toner, “that
they have been, and still are, devo
ted to agriculture. A few have stud
ied law and some medicine, but the
greater number of them take to
mathematics surveying and farm
ing. When they have engaged in
merchandising it has usually been
in connection with the manage
ment of their estates. Both the full
brothers of Washington were de
ceased before the general. The l
general died possessed of large
amounts of- excellent land in \ ir-
ginin,West Virginia, Ohio and Penn
sylvania, and devised these hinds to
his nephews, who were, in conse
quence put in possession of consid
erable estates that made them inde
pendent, influential and prosperous
citizens in the neighborhood where
they lived. They nearly all marri
ed young and left families. It may
be said, too, in this connection, that
as a family they are short-lived. A
few exceptions to this rule are, how
ever, noticeable. I find that tiie
Washingtons have always been
fond of tiie gun, and were the most
noted horsemen of the sections in
which they lived. Their personal
appearance, as a class, has been
characterized by tall, large-boned
frames, nd strong, well-cut feat
ures. In their habits they are social
and hospitable to a degree of ex
travagance. They have all been free
good livers, and occasionally some
have indulged too freely in spirits,
but cases of inebriates among them
are exceptions. Their preference
for agricultural over other pursuits
is manifested by the character of
the sections of the country in which
the kin of Washington now resides.
They are most numerous.in Virgin
ia, Tennessee, and Kentucky, but a
considerable number of them also
reside in Ohio, Minnesota, Pennsyl
vania,California and Georgia,where
they have usually settled on the
most productive farm lands. As
another characteristic, it may be
stated that they are unambitious for
pub lie positions, but wherever they
haw filled positions of trust they
have discharged their duties with
fidelity. The ability of Judge Bush-
rod Washington, a member of the
supreme court, and bis able reports
will suggest’ themselves to the
minds of every one.”
“Do you find among them any
striking resemblance to the father
of his country 9 ”
“It was stated to me,” said Dr.
Toner, “by members of various
branches of the family that occa-
tionall.v would be born in a family
of the kin, one bearing a very strik
ing resemblance to Washington,
while his brothers, and even his
father, might retain only the gen
eral physical characteristics of the
Washingtons. George Washington
who now lives in Alexandria, is re
markably like General Washington
in personal appearance.”
Living all to Himet’lf.
There lives in this community
hermit- whose name is paver, ar
whose peculiarities are a source of
amazement to ail who know him.
He selected a secluded spot from
the road, and as remote from the m
haunts of men as practical on which, and
lie reared an humble hut on premi- this race

fifteen years. At first lie cultivated 1 condition of scrvitT

but Ids hoe. and those who saw Ids

was let to a negro. Mr. Weaver

he uses with alacrity when a

Some are of the opinion that he
lias a large sum of money buried
somewhere on Ids premises, basing
their oipinion on the idea that his
Pimple method of living would not
consume his income. Others doubt
it. The truth of the matter will
probably never be known this side
of eternity, as the hermit will likely
be buried with the secret in Ids bos

REFORM IN ADMINISTRATION.
The people demand reform in the
administration of the government,
and the application of business
principles to public affairs. As a
der and food for stock, but which is
very much nglected is the sweet
potato. It contains more nutri
ment than any other tuber, combi
ning the starch of the common po
tato with the sugar of the sugar
beet. It contains iess water than
any other tuber and approaches in
dryness to tiie newly husked corn.
Moreover it is an exceedingly
wholesome food and is as void of
offense as a food, for dairy cows as
the parsnip, while it fattens all
kinds of farm animals, including
poultry very rapidly. Its culture is
easy and the cured vines make a
a good and acceptable dry fodder
Horses will eat this tuber with

How a Danish Judge Checked Perjury.
A Danish colonial magistrate,for
whose exceptional character and
ability we can vouch, says a Lon
don paper, once made a grimly
comic experience in this dilection
and upon this principle: He was
appalled by the endless perjuries
committed in cases before him, de
termined to stop them, and did.
He of course said nothing of his
method. But an English Iriend
seated beside him ou the bench no
ticed that whenever a witness told
a palpable lie he jumped. He ask
ed the reason, and the magistrate,
after a caution, revealed his se
cret
“My orderly stands behind the
witness, and whenever I put my
left hand to my ear that indi
cates the evidence is false and. he
runs a pin into him.”
It is a well known fact to the
many who will recognize this sto
ry, and the sting of conscience in
this material form proved effectu
al, and the magistrate, who died
honored in Denmark, in thiee } ears
turned an Alsatia into one of the
most orderly, law-abiding com
munities. He could always get the
truth.
