THAT'S THE PLACE!
Were I to seek a place to dwell,
More like heaven and less like hell,
Where rosos bloom the year around, ' ,
And where the finest girls are found,
A place that knows no cold or heat
And where the climate can't be beat,
Where epidemics are unknown
And courtesy is strangers shown,
Where the harbor is wide and deep,
And Herman Wise sells clothing cheap, -.Where
fair play rule 'tween man and man, " -
And everyone does all he can - t
There's no other place 'neath the sun
Such as "Astoria, Oregon."

Washington, March 4. Grover Cleveland,-
of New York, thrice nominated
for president of the United States., and
twice elected, was today Buccestifully
Inducted Into that high i Mice for his
second term with all appropriate oer
emonles and the gathering of mighty
multitudes. This ast occaniot as
greater than the first; the military and
civil display was more imposing. In
1885, there were not more than 23.000 in
line at the outside, in the Inaugural
parade, today at least 40,0iK) marched
along the great national avenue. To
day, also, the governors of the state
of New Tork, New Jersey and Mas
sachusetts, in the east; Pennsylvania
and Maryland, among the Middle
states; Georgia, North Carolina, S.nr.h
Carolina, and Louisiana, In llii South;
and Wisconsin In the We.t, partici
pated In the ceremonies, (hereby em
phasizing complete national unity. The
order of proceedings was nlmojl iden
tically the same as four ye.ara ago,
with the action of the chief partici
pants reversed, and differed very Utile
except In the extent of the demonstra
tion from the ceremonie ejglfc' years
ago.
The line of march w3 sil'ih as no
city except Washington, and no fcvreet
except its broad, well-paved, Penn
sylvania avenue, could produce. Public
and private stands were erected aimig
the line of .march from the capitil to
a point beyond 'the White House, and
with a seating capacity of HO.OOO, irry
one was crowded. Every foot of stand
ing' room along the rout? of the pro
cession, which was fully two ml'e In
length, was occupied. Windows com
manding a view of the parade brought
fabulous prices, and advantageous
seats on public stands brought above
and below five dollars.
The main stand from which Cleve
land reviewed the parade was immedi
ately in front of the White House rrl
had a seating capacity of 1100. It was
decorated tastefully. In the cuter
was an arch sixty-two feet high, hand
somely draped, surmounted bv tilccat
of arms of the United States; on the. ex
treme right was the coat of arTJi of
New York, Cleveland's ?tate; on the
extreme left, the coat of armi of Illi
nois, Stevenson's state; betweea them
the armorial bearings of the thirteen
original states, each surmounted ? ft
flag bearing Its name.
Immediately in front of the White
House and president's stand, .on cap
itol hill, as far as the eye could rea-Ji,
from the eastern front of the capitol,
it was an undulating sea of human be
ings, assembled to witness the admm-
Istratlon of the oath of. office to the
new president by the chief Justice of
the United States.
Had the atmospheric conditions been
anything like favorable Instead of be
ing as bad as they could . possibly be
there would probably have bain
60,000 men and a large number of la
dles In .the parade.
The proverbial "Cleveland weather"
which has been the commentary of the
past eight year, failed . the President j
elect todsy.. The fiercest weather of

clusion J President HarvlsionV term of,

a fierce... sweeping wind gave the na
tlonalVapltol all the experience of a
winter "ulUzard. -'
Thejmornlnjj. opened with a heavy
fall rf" wet snow, melting as It fell.
The r.filitary presented a wintry. up
pearaiioe with their Riiow-oovered over-coatsl-
The guns of the artillery were
covered with tarpaulins and snow-covered,
the concourse in the streets, al
most all being under umbrellas which
were little protection against the snow
driven before the wind. A force of
men was kept at work on the Inaugu
ration stand, clearing away the snow,
it having been announced that the
ceremonies would be held out of doors
in spite of the weather.
It was a thrilling scene as Cleveland
appeared at the entrance to the hotel
lo take a carriage for the White
.House. Mrs. 'Cleveland threw her
arms about his neck and klsBed mm
God speed repeatedly. It was all done
so simply and with such devotion,
there could be no thought of Inten
tional theatrical effect.
There, was a round of applause as
the carriage bearing Harrison and
Cleveland came in sight on Pennsyl
vania avenue, preceded by Grand Mar
shall McMahon, and staff. Both raised
their hats in response to the salute,
which was only redoubled.
A brigade of regulars then preceded
the presidential party toward the cap
itol, followed by the vtce-prepi-'
elect and the committee on arrange
ments, a brigade of District Mll'.tia
bringing up the rear. "
Vice-President Stevenson was re
ceived with almott as much enthusi
asm as his chief.
In this order, the cavalcade proceed
ed to the capitol.
. The presidential party arrived at the
capitol shortly after noon and were
given a rattling volley of cheers as
they entered the building. Harrison
' went at once- to the president's room
! and began work on a pile of bills re
quiring his signature. The time was
so short that It became . necessary
three times .to turn back the hands of
the clock to preserve the figment that
it was not noon. Meantime Cleveland
and, Stevenson went to the vice-president's
room and spent the time chat
ting with callers.
It was, 12:50 when Vise-President
Stevcn:on appeared in the senate
chamber and took a seat beside Mor-
ton. Then followed President Harrl-
son and the cabinet and they were
seated amid applause.
Morton administered the oath tohls
successor, and yielded the chair to
him as presiding offlcer.and the special
session of the 63d congress was opened
with prayer by the chaplain.
Stevenson then said: ,
Senators: Deeply Impressed with a
sense of Its responsibilities and of Its
dignity, I now enter upon the dis
charge of the duties of the high office
to which I have been elected. I em
not unmindful of the fact that among
the occupants of this chair during the
oho hundred and four years of our con
stitutional history, have been states
men eminent alike- for their talents
and their tireless devotion to public
iintv. Adams. Jefferson and Calhoun
honored Its Incumbency during the
earlier days of the republic, .while Ar
thur. Hendricks and Morton have at
a later period of our history, shed 1ns
tre upon the office of president of the
most august deliberative assembly
known to men. ,
I assume the duties of the great
truat confided to me with no feeling
of self-confidence, but rather with a
grave distrust of my ability satisfac
torily to meet Its requirements. I may
4?
be pardoned for saying that it shall
be my earnest endeavor to discharge
the important duties which lie before
me with no less of Impartiality and
courtesy than of firmness and fidelity.
Earnestly invoking the co-operation,
the forbearance, the charity of its
members, I now enter upon my duties
as presiding officer of the senate.
The new senators then took the oath
of office.
A procession was formed, and pro
ceeded to the cast portico of the cap
itol, escorting the president and president-elect.
. . , '
Cleveland was waiinly greeted by
the patient thron-r and after a ' few
minutes' delay stepped to the front
and began the delivery of hi Inau
gural address. X'awlr.hHttindln?; the
exceedingly Inclement weather, Cleve
land removed his oli' hat und with
bared head addres.eJ the multitude.
He kept his oercout on and secu:ed
what warmth n i could for '.he fingers
of his right nan i by keeping It In his
overcoat pocket, holding ills hat at his
side in his left hand, which was unpro
tected from the weather by a glove.
The following la a synopsis of Presi
dent Cleveland's inaugural address)
It cannot be doubted that our stu
pendous achievements as a people and
and our country's robust strength has
given rise to heedlessness of those laws
governing our national health, which
we can no more evade than human
life can escape the laws of God and
nature. Manifestly nothing could be
more vital to our supremacy as a na
tion, and ta beneficent purposes. Our
government then should have a sound
and stable currency. Its exposure to
degradation should at once arouse to
j activity the most enlightened states
i manshlp; and the danger of deprecl-
atlon in the purchasing power of the
! wages paid to toll should furnish the
! strongest incentive to prompt and con-
servative precaution in dealing with
j our present embarrassing situation as
' related to this subject We will be
wine if we temper our .confidence and
! faith in our national strength and re-
sources, with the frank concesnlon
that even these will not permit us to
defy with impunity the inexorable laws
of finance and trade. So far as the
executive branch of the government
can Intervene, none of the powers with
which it is invested will be withheld
when their exercise is deemed neces
sary to maintain our national credit
or avert financial disaster.
Closely related to an exagerated con
fidence ,1a c-ur country's greatness,
which tends to a disregard of
the rules of national safety, is an
other danger which confronts us, not
less serious. I refer to the prevalence
of a popular disposition, to expect from
the operation of the government, es
pecial and direct individual advant
ages. The verdict of our voters, which
condemned the injury of maintaining
protection for protection's sake", en
Joins upon the people' servants the
duty of exposing and destroying a
brood of kindred evils, which are the
unwholesome progeny of Daternallsm.
This la the bane of republican institu
! tlons and the constant peril of our
government by the people. It un
determine the self reliance of our peo
ple and substitutes in its place depen
dence upon governmental favoritism. It
stiffcs the spirit of true Americanism
)
i
and stuplfles every ennobling trait of
American citizenship. Lessons of pa
ternalism ought to be unlearned and a
better lesson taught, that, while peo.
pie should patriotically and cheerfully
support their government, its func
tions do not include support of the
people. Acceptance of this principle
leads to a refusal of the bounties and
subsidies which burden the labor and
thrift of a portion of our citizens lo.
aid ill-advised or. languishing enter
prises, in which they have no concern.
It " loads also to a challenge of wild
and ' reckless pension expenditure
which overleaps the bounds of grate
ful recognition of patriotic service and
prostitutes to vicious uses the people's
prompt and generous impulse to aid
those disabled in their country's de
fense. It is a plain dictate of honesty and
good government that public expendi
tures should be limited by public nec
essity, and that they should be meas
ured by the rules of strict economy;
and it is equally clear that frugality
among the people Is the best guaranty
of contented and strong support of free
Institutions.
One mode of misappropriation of the
public funds Is avoided when applont
ments to office, instead of being re
wards of partisan activity, are award
ed to those whose efficiency promises
a fair return of work for the compen
sation paid them. To secure fitness
and competency of appointees to of
fice, and remove from political action
the demoralizing madness for - spoils,
civil service reform has found a place
In our public policy and laws. The
benefits already gained through Its ln
liiBtrumentallty, and the further use
fulness it promises, entitle It to the
hearty support and encouragement of
all who desire to see our publlo ser
vice well performed, or who hope to
see elevation of political sentiment and
purification of political methods.

tions of kflidred enterprises and com
