THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS (i!i wing Picture of Condition of Coun try-Relations of United States With Cuba Defined—Optiihistie Outlook as to Philippines. Washington, March 4.—William Mc Kinley of Ohio today was inducted into the presidential office, being the eighth in the illustrious line of presidents of the united States thus honored by the American people with the second term. Simultaneously Theodore Roosevelt of New York became vice president of the United States. Alter taking the oath of office, the president delivered Ins inaugural ad dress, which follows; Mv Fellow Citizens: When we as sembled here on March 4, 1897, there was gr.-ut anxiety with regard to oar currency and credit. None exists now. Then our treasury receipts were inade quate to meet the current obligations or tne government. Now they are sufii cieut for all public needs, and we have a surplus instead of a deficit. Then I felt constrained to convene the congress in extraordinary session to devise reve nue.- to pay the ordinary expenses of the government. Now I have the satis faction to announce that the congress just closed has reduced taxation in the •um of $41,000,000. Then there was a deep solicitude because of the iong de pression of our manufacturing, mining, agricultural and mercantile industries and the consequent distress of our labor ing population. Now every avenue of production is crowded with activity, labor is well employed and American j .^--vetoes unu go x'i m'lifkeis at come ann I abroad. Our diversified productions, | however, are increasing in such unprece 1 dented volume as to admonish us of ihe | necessity of still further enlarging our \ foreign markets by broader commercial j relations. For this purpose reciprocal trade relations with other nations should in liberal spirit be carefully cultivated and promoted. Our Foreign Relations. Four years ago we stood on the brink of war without the people knowing it and without any preparation or effort at preparation for the impending peril. I did all that in honor could be done to avert the war, but without avail. It became inevitable, and the congress, at its first regular session, without party division, provided money in anticipa tion of the crisis and in preparation to meet it. It came. The result was sig nally favorable to American arms and in the highest degree honorable to the government. It imposed upon us obli gations from which we cannot escape and from which it would be dishonor able to seek to escape. We are now at peace with the world, and it is my fer vent prayer that if differences arise between us and other powers they may be settled by peaceful arbitration and that hereafter we may be spared the horrors of war. Second Term. Entrusted by the people for a second time with the office of president, I enter noon its administration appreciating the great responsibilities which attach to this renewed honor and commission, promising unreserved devotion on my part to their faithful discharge aid rev erently invoking for my guidance the direction and favor of Almighty God.

It encourages me for the great task which I now undertake to believe that those who voluntarily committed to ms the trust imposed upon the chief executive of the republic will give tome generous support to my duties to “pre serve and defend the constitution of the United States,” and “to see that the laws be fully executed. ” The national purpose is indicated through a national election: It is the constitutional method of ascertaining the public will. When once it is registered it is a law to iw ail, and faithful observance should follow its decrees. “Hope 31aketli Not Aslmmed.” The prophets of evil were not the builders of the republic, nor in its crisis since have they saved or served it. The faith of the fathers was a mighty force in its creation and the faith of their de scendants has wrought its progress and furnished its defenders. They are ob structionists who despair and who would destroy confidence in the ability of our people to solve wisely and for civilization the mighty problems resting upon them. The American people, in trenched in freedom at home, take their love for it with them wherever they go, and thev reject as mistaken and uu- worthv the doctrine that we lose our own liberties by securing the enduring foundations of liberty to others. Oar institutions will not deteriorate by ex tension and our sense of justice will not abate under tropic suns in distant seas.

The peace which we are pledged tc leave to the Cuban people must carry with it the guarantees of permanence. We become sponsors for the pacification of the island, and we remain account able to the Cubans, no less than to our own country and people, for the recon struction of Cuba as a free common wealth, on abiding foundations of right, justice, liberty and assured order. Our enfranchisement of the people will not be completed until free Cuba shall “be a reality, not a name; a perfect entity, not a hasty experiment bearing within itself the elements of failure.” The Philippine islands. While the treaty of peace with Spain was ratified on Feb. G, 1899, and ratifi cations were exchanged nearly two years ago, the congress has indicated no form of government for the Philippine is lands. It has, however, provided an army to enable the executive to suppress insurrection, restore peace, give security to the inhabitants and establish the authority of tne United States through out the archipelago. It has authorized the organization of native troops as auxiliary to the regular force. If has been advised frome time to time of the acts of the military and naval officers in the island, of my action in appointing civil commisisous, of the in structions with which they were charged, of their duties and powers, of their recommendations, and of the sev eral acts under executive commission, together with the very complete general information they have submitted. These reports fully set forth the condi tions, past and present, in the islands, and the instructions clearly show the principles which will guide the execu tive until the congress shall, as it is re- thrtiling scenes in China, whiie new to ’ quired to do by the treaty, determine American life, has been in harmony I “the civil rights and political status of with its true spirit and best traditions the native inhabitants. ” and its dealing with the results of its i Local 8e;f Government, poliev will bo that of moderation and j fairness. ! Relations With Cuba. We face at this moment a most im- ! portant uuestion—that of the future re- J "mire occasion by the liana ana make tne bounds of freedom wider yet.” If there are those among us who would make our way more difficult we must not be disheartened, but the more earnestly dedicate ourselves to the task we have rightly entered. The path of progress is seldom smooth. New things are often found hard to do. Our fath ers found them so. We find them so. They are inconvenient. They cost us something. But are we not made bet ter for the effort and sacrifice and are not those we serve lifted up and blessed? Opposition Overcome. We will be consoled, too, with the fact that opposition has confronted every movement of the republic from its opening hour until now, but without success. The republic has marched on and on, and its every step has exalted freedom and humanity. We are under going tne same ordeal as did our prede cessors nearly a century ago. We are following the course they blazed. They triumphed. Will their successors falter aud plead organic impotenev in the na tion? Surely after 125 years of achieve ment for mankind we will not surren der our equality with other powers on matters fundamental and essential to nationality. With no such purpose was the nation created. In no such spirit has it developed its full and independ ent sovereignty. We adhere to the principle of equality among ourselves and by no act of ours will wo assign to ourselves a subordinate rauk in the fam ily of nations. My fellow citizens, the public events of the past four years have gone into history. They are too near to justify recital. Some of them were uuforseen ; many of them momentous and far- reaching in their consequences to our selves aud to our relations with the rest of the world.

There was little opposition, the vote being 20 to 7, the announcement of which was greeted by prolonged ap plause that came frbm the floor of the senate and from the gallery crowded with ladies. Many prominent women of Alabama have interested themselves in this move ment and, of course, this interest is shared by those of sister states. This relic of the days of the confed eracy will now be given its proper place and made an interesting feature of the capital city. ALABAMA SOLONS ADJOURN Appropriations Gut to Kit Condition of Treasury. Montgomery, Ala., March 6.—The general assembly of Alabama adjourned sine die last night, after a session of 50 working days. It has contained mpre individual intelligence and perhaps less collective wisdom than any other assem bly since reconstruction times. The governor withdrew his veto from the Birmingham charter bill aud signed it. He furthermore vetoed the Mont gomery charter bill, which had been irregularly passed, aud also vetoed the biil which provided for the reprint of the Alabama supreme court reports. The bill prorating the appropriations to fit- the conditions of the treasury was finally passed, after having been sub stantially amended, and was signed by the governor. The bill as amended cuts about $75,000 out of the appropriations. e-T-a if if 38 US if SI Ml GOING TO BUILD ? re you going to put up a new build ng, or.do aDy repairing this season ?

The declaration of the purposes of this government in the resolution of April 20, 1898, must be made good. Ever since the evacuation of the island by the army of Spain, the executive, with all practicable speed, has been assisting its people in the suc cessive step3 necessary to the establish ment of a free and independent govern ment, prepared to assume and perform the obligations of international law which now rest upon the United States under the treaty of Paris. The conven tion elected by the people to frame a -constitution is approaching the conipie tion of its labors. The transfer of American control to the new government is of such great importance, involving an obligation re sulting from onr intervention and the treaty of peace, that I am glad to be ad vised bv the recent act of congress of the policy which the legislative brauch of the government deems essential to the best- interests of Cuba and the United States. The principles which led to our intervention require that the fundamental law upon which the new government rests should be adapted to secure a government capable of per forming the duties aud discharging the functions of a separate nation, of ob serving its international obligations, of protecting life and prooerir. insuring Prof. Ivison. of Lonanconing,\ld , suffered terribly from neuralgia of the stomach and indigestion for thirteen years and after the doctors failed to cure him they fed him on morphine.

Douglass, Will Jacksou and the Douglass heirs against the United States government for possession of lands now used by the government as a canal and railroad. The suit was for $5,000 in each case. The government has had possession of rhe land for 20 years and it has never been condemned or paid for. Several other land holders have asked for relief by bills in congress which have been hanging fire for years without any chance of passing. These cases are considered tests and if success ful will lead to other suits being brought. His Second Trial.

On those weighing less than 3 pounds per 1,000, the senate rate of 18 cents per pound was allowed to stand, as against the rate of $1 per 1,000 as fixed by the existing law, whiefi was not disturbed by the house.

The settled purpose, long ago prevailed, to afford the inhabitants of the islands self government as fast as they were ready for it, will be pursued with earnestness and fidelity.
