In the exercise of their power and right to solf government they have committed to one of their fellow citizens a supreme and sacred trust, and he here consecrates himself to their ser vice. This impressive ceremony adds little to the solemu sense of responsibil ity with which I contemplate the duly I owe to all the people of the land. Noth ing can relieve me trom anxiety, lest by any action of mine their interests may suffer, and nothing is needed to strength en my resolution to engage every fac ulty and effort ia the promotion of their welfare. Amid party strife the people's choice was made, but its attendant circum stances have demonstrated anew the strength and safety of a government by the people, lu each succeeding year it more clearly appears that our dem ocratic principles need no apology, and that, in its fearless and faithful appli cation is to fe' found the surest guar anty of good government. But. the best results to be found in the operation of a government wherein every citizen has a share, largely depend upon a proper limitation of purely party zeal and ef fort, and a correct appreciation of the lime when the heat of partisanship should be merged into the patriotism ef the citizen. To-day the executive branch of government is transferred to a new keeping, but this is still a gov ernment ot all the people, and it should be none the less an object of their affec tionate solicitude, At this hour the animosities of political strife, the bit terness of partisan defeat, and exulta tion of partisan triumph should be sup planted by ungrudging acquiescence in the popular will, and sober, conscien tious concern fur the general weal. Moreover, if from this hour we cheer fully and honestly abandon all sectional prejudice and distrust, and determine with confidence iu one another, to work out harmoniously the achievement of oar national destiny, we shall deserve to receive alt the benefits which our happy form of government can bestow. On tins auspicious occasion we may well renew the pledge of our devotion to that constitutioifQvhich, launched by the founders of the republic and conse crated by their prayers and patriotic devotion, has- for a century Jborne the " hopes and aspirations of a great people, through prosperity and peace, through the shock of foreign conflicts and the perils of domestic strife. By the father of. his country our constitu tion was commended for adoption as the result of a spirit of amity and mu tual concession. In that same spirit it should be administered, in order to promote the lasting welfare of the coun try and to secure the fall measure of its priceless benelits to us and to those who will succeed to the blessings of onr national life. The largo variety of diverse and competing interests subject to federal control, pcrsisteutly seeking recognition of their claims need give us no fear that "the greatest good to the greatest number" will fail to be accom plished, if in the halls of the national legislation that spirit ot amity and mu tual concession shall prevail in which the constitution had its birth. If this involves the surrender or postponement of private interests, and abaLdonment of local advantages, compensation will be found in the assurance that thus the common interest is subserved and the general welfare advanced. In the discharge of my official duty I shall endeavor to be guided by a just aud unstrained construction of the con stitution, a careful observance ef the disfinotion between the powers guaran teed to the federal government and those reserved to the states or to the people, and by a cautious appreciation and laws have been especially assigned to the executive branch of the govern ment. But he who tnkes oath to day to preserye, protect and defend the con stitution of the United States, only as sumes that solemn obligation which every patriotic citizen on the farm, in the busy marts of trade, and everywhere, should share with him. The constitu tion which prescribes his oath, my countrymen, is yeurs. The government which you have chosen him to admin ister for a time is yours; the suffrage which executes the will of freemen is yours; the laws and the entire scheme of our civil rule, from the town meeting to the state capitol and the national capitol, is you.s. Your every voter, as assuredly as your chief magistrate under the same high sanction, thougl in a differeat sphere, exercises a public trust, Nor is this all; every citizen owes to the country a vigilant watch and close scrutiny of its public servants, and a fair and reasonable estimate of their fidelity and usefulness. This is the people's will impressed upon the whole framework of our civil policy municipal, state and federal. And this is the price of our liberty and the in spiration of your faith in the republic.

Those who are se lected for a limited time to manage pub lic affairs are still ot the people and may do much by their example to en courage, consistently with the dignity of their official functions, that plain way of life which, among their fellow citizens, aids integrity anal promotes thrift and prosperity. The genius of our institutions, the needs of our people in their home life, and the attention which is demanded for settlement or development of the resources ef our vast territory, dictate the scrupulous avoidance of any depart ure from that foreign p'.licy commended by history, tradition, aad the prosper. ity of our republic. It is a policy of independence, favored by our position and defined by our known love of jus tice, and by our power; it is a policy of peace, suitable to our interests; it is a policy of neutrality, rejecting all share iu foreign broils and ambitions upon other continents and repelling their intrusion here; it is the policy of Monroe and Washington and Jefferson, of peace, commerce and honest friend ship with all nations; entangling alli ances 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 shall secure the safety and confidence of business interests, and make the wage of labor snre and steady, and that our system of revenue be so ad justed as to relieve the people from un necessary taxation, having due regard to the interests of capital invested and workingmen employed in American in dustries; and preventing the accumula tion of a surplus in the treasury to an extent that induces extravagance and waste. Care for the prosperity of the nation aud for the needs of future settlers re quire that the pnblic domain should be protected from purloining schemes and unlawful occupation. The conscience of the people de mands that the Indians within our boundaries shall be fairly and honestly treated as wards of the government, and their education and civilization promot ed with a view to their ultimate citi zenship. Polygamy in the territories is de structive of the family and of religion, and offensive to the moral sense of the civilized world, and shall be repressed. The laws should be rigidly enforced which prohibit immigration of a servile class to comoeta witW American labor, VMAT1XLA CvVSTT. with no intontidn oTacquiriog citizen ship, and bringiflgr with them and re taining habits and customs repugnant to our civilization. The people demand reform in the ad ministration of government and applica tion of busiuess principles to pnblic af fairs, and as a means to this end rivil service reform should be in good faith enforced. Our citizens have a right to protection from the incompetency of public employes, and those who hold their places solely as a reward of parti san service, and from the corruptive in fluence of these who promise and the vicious methods ot those who expect such rewards. Those who worthily seek public employment have the right to insist that merit and competency shall be recognized instead of party sub serviency or surrender ef houest politic al 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 freed Bieu in their rights or their security in the enjoyment of their privileges under the constitution aud its amendments, Ail diseusbion as to their fituess for the pl Appropriated wtthout permission from ehsagei Pendleton is going to grow np with the country. j P.

J Speaking about the "Washington monument "Carp" says in the Cleve land Leader: It has cost, all told, CJnsidt-.rably ever 1,000,000. The marble stones in it each cost about $75, and the most scientific piece of werk abo, it was the putting in of a new foundation after it had reached the weighl of 30,000 tons. It now weighs about 90,000 tons, and it is said that one end of it is sinking the very leait bit. This is due to the fish pond which lies with- l . a stone s throw ot its base, and this will have to be filled or the monument may fall. It is a ques tion whether it will last like the obelisks and pyramids of Egypt. The Egyptian revolutionist did not understand dynamite, or some fool ish sheik Would long since have Thia BeeUurant u now open for the reception blown their monuments into the of rueata.

It is different in the humid, variable climate of America.
