Sherman made a eaii on Harrison a taw days ago, and, it is thought, split his proposed cabinet all to piece*.

Monday being inauguration day.il was a big day in Washington, A good crowd frsia the southern sta'es were present —some of course, ar-'ct with the idea of going to Washington, while ethers v. sat with the expecta tion of ?eeing an elephant and a half. .Ere this the president is seated in his chair, it he was able to stand the jcaagarai ceremony. it wiil not be surprising if ill* present congress dont wit hold th® admittance of Now Mexico on ac count of her democratic principles. Washington, Montana and I)ako tf. territories have been admitted. These are republican, but they u. *.y possibly change. These torri toi’ies have -no great need for pro - ffion, more Ilian civilization, law and order. Wnr-n iiatione said Uo was “oppos ed to the colored race pushing thera selves forward for prominent posi tions, ’’ he was only indorsing the well vt-hbes of bis party. While none iu the republican party have been so out u ok*n Maiu-ae, they do aot want a colored man iu the cabinet. The line of politics may have a wide sway in the republican party, and bo various in securing Hie office spoils, but tae col or liaeissfcrlight and narrow.

Why should they not have Che right to become land-owners and pay gov- svnmentand local taxi- While th* present lory government is void of sympathy, reason and justice, Par nell, ia representing the Liberals, lias it a)!, and is bound t* win. • . * lVa%iit<ij'ioti Leuer, | Fiona tbe Journal's Oorrespdadsat.J Washington, Fob. 25, 1889.—TUe inauguration is right upon as, hurry ing and pushing us to such aa extent that there arc no means oi eeospe. This is evident tluonghout the city. Everybody is making ready for the event iu hi* own way, from the presi dent to the corner grocer, from the prst lady of the laud to the dressmak er who i* concocting diaphanous do lesions for the inaugural ball, or th* always half distracted boarding house- Mrs., who hopes to make a sung little 'purse off el tha inauguration viti.ers who are pare to come. Large reviewing stands have been creeled on Pennsylvania areaue be tween the cspitcl sad the white house, eacfi one of which will accommodate hundreds ot paopio, and on which a seat can be had for aboat two dollars. Windows on the line jt the parade, which will accommodate ten parson*, rent for one hundred dollars. Iu oth ers you can secure a seat for live dol lars. Or if you are a man asd not too proud to stand on the sidewalk like thousands ot other people will do, you can see tha inaugural procession free. Bustle, contusion, and the busiest preparations may be seen around the headquarters of tho inaugural cotonaL teea on ball and parade, sob committees, officers and aides are re cowing instructions, and rules bars been issued for the inaugural ball Ccneiderable discussion was occasion ed by the statement on >bo bsll ticket ’.hat. “lull drees was required.” Bus the authorities were compiled, and made to understand that such proviso might ksep msny away who had in tended t# come asd who eoiild not con venienfly procure the wedilirg gar toent; so in charity it was so agreed that, the expression might be construed fcn mean that full dress was ‘requested or desired,” but that a Prince Albert would be considered fall dress for the lima. And you may rest assured there will be soma cutaways present also; tbo only coat that will be strict ly prohibited is the ovsreoat. Ido not think it would be quite eat* to try to run the gauntlet in that garment. The pß*i<xn build:Eg. in which the iaugural ball will be held, is surround ad by temporary out buildings tor van Gas purposes connected with the ball sad the interior for some weeks past, has beou a workshop with a confusion or gas pipes, elootrio wires, scaffolding etc. The rough work is now corapie? ed aud the dscoratioes are in progress, though as yet, but little order has boeu evolved from the chaos. The work of decorating other public boild mgs has bbgna and the shop windows aro ablaze with all the beamy and do gi’.nce that they can furnish. Ever eager to read the stars, rumor has it that when Sirs. Cleveland le*v es White House she will go into liter* tare. A Chicago prophet ssys that she is now translating it Y ranch novel and a Boston wiseacre is positively that she will contribute to the naaga .lines. Jdo not believe that Mrs. Cleveland could be tricked into trad 'iug upon bar social reputation or would be tickled by a paseiaj literary reputa tion; she ebould bo Baade ot finer, if j not sterner, stuff; so called iitsr&fare ; l brought forth anew cariosity in the j president’s sister, and cynical people j laughed at it. Don’t you know he felt j it, end do you suppose he would con seat ror hie wife to taka sunk a step? President Cleveland has not yet defi nitely aiiuouceed his future dwelling place. There is x minor that he will tend* at the v ictoria hotel there. Preparatory to such migration, of coarse, tha world is still ia suspense regarding ibe decision of.Ward lleAi listerr’ exclusive 490, as io whether m not Mr. and Mrs Cleveland should fe. lor,# to it. Who was it said Mr* Cleveland would not care vrhoiberhei 400 decided for or agejnst her claims? There are expressions of surprisi 3ud impatience in acina quartern tha the prasideut elect is apparently g slow in tha formation of his cabinet Some people think he night have at tended that little matter long ago and mlieved the pnblie mind of suspense I by the announcement of his appoint | merits. It appears to be forgotten that a similar expedience was gone through with by Mr. Cleveland four yearn ago Various slates were made sad unmade before th* final list was announc ed. Til ere are difficulties and ©m brrasßmnts in the way that, at •Hi* present time, non* but Mr. Harrison, him sol f, can properly un derstsnd and apreeiat®, ll@ mzy not even come to a decision until the day of his inauguration, and if he should not desire to make bis selections known until ha is ready to send their names to tha senate, no one will be surprised or have any just cause for complaint.
