waiting to fulfill line, but at the last mo
ment some of the organizations Avere
p.-lied to desist from participat
ing. Nevertheless the occasion AVO,S
made memorable by the vast at*
tendance. To-day. also, the governors of
eleven great states, New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts
in the North and East of Pennsylvania
ami Maryland, among the Middle states
of Georgia, North and South Carolina
and Louisiana in the South and of Wis
consin in the far West, participated in
th national ceremonies and thereby em
phasized the complete restoration of na
tional unity. More interesting and sig
nitmant even than this, perhaps in the
eyes of other nations and the historian,
were the manifestations of the marvel
ous growth of the country in population
nod power, and in fact that this mouient
«nt-i and majestic change in the. govern
ment of 05,000,000 of people was ac
i-omplished according to a cut and dried
formula, every step of which was planned
and publicly announced beforehand, and
without noticeable disturbance of public
im-.'rests or the creation of any exeire
nien? except that naturally accompanying
:t great national pageant and the influx
of two or three hundred thousand sight
seers into the capital.
11 was shortly after 11 o'clock when
President-elect Cleveland and Vice
Pri'siitent-eli-ct Stevenson, accompanied
by thiflsenate committee on arrangements,
entered tlie executive mansion. They
were received by President Harrison in
the blue room. Five minutes later the
presi.h'iit and his successor reappeared,
and. entering tin upon carriage, the march
of the procession to the capitol began.
Mean whMe in the senate at a quarter be
fore 12 (sentite clock) the speaker and
house of representatives were announced.
The speaker was escorted to a chair at
the secretary's desk, and the representa
tives who followed him were crowded
in wherever space could be fouud for
them. Put as to finding seats for them,
that was entirely out of the question.
At this time the general spectacle was
magnificent. Th galleries were filled
with elegantly dressed ladies, with a few
gentlemen scattered amoug them. The
senators from forty-four states were all
in their places. When the senate clock
indicated 11:50, but when the actual time
was 12:50, the vice president-elect was
announced, and Mr. Stevensoa, escorted
by Senator McPherson. took his chair
to the right of Vice President Morton.
Immediately afterwards the president of
the I'nited States and his cabinet were
announced, find President Harrison and
the members of his cabinet entered the
chamber. Mr. Harrison was escorted to
one of the chairs standing in front of
the clerk's desk. Immediately after
Avarus the president-elect was announced,
and Mr. Cleveland, escorted by Senator
Hielinril Olney A to a
Hansom, took the chair next to Mr. Har
rison. Hi entrance into the chamber
AVfi.s greeted with applause.
A JYCAV Vice re id
Then Vice 1 "resident Mortjn administered
the oath of office to his successor, and
i,-'uleil to him the chair of the presiding
tftficcr. The special session of the Fifty
third congress was thcu formally opened
with prayer by Chaplain Butler. Vice
President "ste\-cnsoii arose and addressed
a lie senate. He said:
"•Senators: Deeply impressed A\ith a
se.tsc of its responsibilities and of its dig
nitv. I now enter upon the discharge of the
duties of the high office to which I have
been called. I am not unmiidful of the
fact that among the .c-upants of this chair
during the 1U1 years of our constitutional
history have bren statesmen, eminent alike
for thVir talent ami their tireless devotion
to public duty. Adams, Jefferson and Cal
houn honored its incumbency during the
caily days of the republic. Avhile Arthur,
Hendricks and Morton ha\re at a later peri
od of our history shed luster upon the of
fice of president of the most august deliber
ative assembly known to man. I assume
the duties of the great trust confined to me
with no feeling of self-confidence, but rather
with that of graA-e distrust of my ability
satisfactorily to meet its requirements. I
may be pardoned for saying that it shall be

portant duties which lie before me Avith
uo.Jess of impartiality and courtesy than of

charity of each of its members, I now enter

At about 1:35 o'clock the doors leading
Into the rotunda to the central portico of
the inaugural stand swung open, and Mar
shal Dan Kamsdell of the District of Co
lumbia and Marshal Wright, of the "United
States supreme court, appeared, heading the
procession. Ex-Vice President Morton and
Chief Justice Fuller and the justices of the
supreme court, except Judges Blatchford,
Field and Harlan, came next. Then came
the sergeant-at-arms, Valentine, and Sen
ators Teller. McPherson and ltansom, of the
committee of arrangements, preceding Pres
ident Harrison and President-elect Cleve
land, who walked side by side. Behind the
incoming and outgoing president followed
members of the senate and an unusually
large contingent from the diplomatic corps,
members, of the house of represntatives,
governors of states and other official per
sons.
The president and president-elect. Vice
President Morton, Chief Justice Fuller and
the committee of arrangements Avere shown
to the front of the platform, where, Avithiu
a railed enclosure, had been laid a brltiht
green carpet, upon which had been placed
large leather-covered chairs, several tables,
a writing desk and other furnishings, Avhich
gave a bright touch to the scene. Mr.
Cleveland was warmly greeted by the pa
tient, throng gathered about the stand, and
after a few minutes of delay stepped to the
front and began the delivery of his inaugu
ral address. He folloA\-ed the same course
pursued by himself eight years ago of de
livering his address lirst and taking the
oath afterwards. This Avas the course, pur
sued by Buchanan and Lincoln. On the
other hand. Pierce, Grant. Hayes, Garfield
and Harrison took the oath first and deliv
ered their inaugural afterwards. A curious
compromise between these opposing customs
Avas made by President Harrison's grand
father. Avho stopped in the middle of his
inaugmal and took the oath and then re
sumed and finished the reading of his ad
dress. Notwithstanding the exceedingly in
clement weather Mr. Cleveland removed his
sHk hat, and Avith bared head
A re he
My Fellow Citizens: In obedience to the
mandate of my countrymen. I am about to
dedicate myself to their service under the
sanction of a solemn oath. Deeply moved
by the expression of confidence and personal
attachment which has called me to this
service. 1 am sure my gratitude can make
no better return than the pledge I now give
before God and these witnesses of unre
served and complete devotion to the inter
ests and welfare of those who have honored
me.
I deem it fitting on this occasion, while
indicating the opinions I hold concerning
public questions of present importance to
also briefly refer to the existence of certain
conditions and tendencies among our peo
ple, AA-hich seem to menace the integrity
and usefulness of their government. While
every American citizen must contemplate
with the utmost pride -and enthusiasm the
groAvth and expansion of our country, the
sufficiency of our institutions to stand
against the rudest shocks of Aiolence, the
Avonderful thrift and enterprise of our peo
ple, and the demonstrated superiority of
our free government, it b'ehooA-es us to con
stantly watch for eAery symptom of insidi
ous infirmity that threatens our national
vigor. The strong man who in the confi
dence of sturdy health, courts the sternest
activities of life and rejoices in the hardi
hood of constant labor, may still have lurk
ing near his vitals the unheeded disease that
dooms him to sudden collapse. It cannot be
doubted thn't our stupendous achievements
as a people and our country's robust
strength, have given rise to a heedlessness
of those laws governing our national health,
Avhich we can no more cA'ade than human
life can escape the laAvs of God and nature.
he to of in a
Manifestly nothing is more vital to our
supremacy as A nation and to the bene
ricient purposes of our goA-ernment than a
sound and stable currency. Its exposure to
degradation should at ouce arouse to activ
ity the most enlightened statesmanship, and
the danger of depreciation in the purchas
ing poAver of the Avages paid to toil should
furnish the strongest incentive to prompt
and conservative precaution. In dealing
with our present embarrassing situation, as
related to this subject, we will be Avise if
Ave temper our confidence and faith in our
national strength .and resources with the
frank confession that even these Avill not
permit us to defy with impunity the in
exorable Lows of finance and trade. At the
same time, in our efforts to adjust differ
ences of opinion Ave should be free from in
tolerance or passion, as our judgments
should be unmoved by alluring phrases and
unvexed by selfish interests. I am con
fident that such an approach to the subject
Avill result in prudent and effective rem
edial legislation. In the meantime, so far as.
the executive branch of the government can
intervene, none of the powers with which it
is vested will be withheld whfen their exer
cise is deemed necessary to maintain our
national credit or avert financial disaster.
Closely related to the exaggerated con
fidence in our country's greatness, which
tends to a disregard of the rules of na
tional safety, another danger confronts us
not less serioAis. I refer to the prevalence
of a popular disposition to expect from the
operation of the government especial and
direct individual advantages. The verdict
of our A-oters. Avhich condemned the injury
of maintaining protection for protection's
sake, enjoins upon the people's serA-auts the
duty of exposing and destroying the brood
of kindred evils which are the unwhole
some progeny of paternalism. This is the
bane of republican institutions and the con
stant peril of our government by the peo
ple. It degrades to the purposes of Avily
craft the plan of rule our fathers estab
lished and bequeathed to us as an object of
our love and A-eneratiou. It preverts the.
patriotic sentiment of our countrymen and
tempts them to a pitiful calculation of the
sordid gain to be derived from their govern
ment's maintenance. It undermines the self
reliance of our people and substitutes in its
place dependence unon governmental fa
A-oritisin. It stifles the spirit of true Amer
icanism and stupefies every ennobling trait
of American citizenship. The lessons of pa
ternalism ought to be learned and the better
lesson taught that, while the people should
patriotically and cheerfully support their
government, its functions do not. include the
support of the people.
The acceptance of this principle leads to
a refusal of bounties and subsidies which
burden the labor and thrift of a portion of
our citizens, to aid Ul-adA-ised or languish
ing enterprises in which they have no con
cern. It leads also to a challenge of wild
and reckless pension expenditure, which
overlaps the bounds of grateful recognition
of patriotic service and prostitutes to vi
cious uses the paople's prompt and generous
impulse to aid those disabled in their coun
try's defense. Every thoughtful American
mast realize the importance of checking at
its beginning any tendency in public or
private station to regard frugality and
economy as virtues which Ave may safely
outgrew. The toleration of this idea re
sults in the waste of the people's money
by their chosen servants, and encourages
prodigality and extravagance in the home
life of our countrymen. Under our scheme
of goA-ernmeut. Avaste of public money is a
crime against the citizens, and the contempt
of our people for economy and frugality in
their personal affairs deplorably saps the
strength and sturdyness of our national
character. It is a plain dictate of honesty
and good government that public cxpendi
tuies should be limited by public necessity,
and that this should be measured by the
rules of strict economy, and it Is equally
clear that frugality among the people is
the best guaranty of a contented and strong
support of free institutions.
One mode of the misappropriation of pub
lic funds is avoided when appointments to
office, instead of being the rewards of parti
san activity, are awarded to those whose
efficiency promises a fair return of work
for the compensation paid to them. To se
cure the fitness and competency of appointees
to office, and to remoA'e from political action
the demoralizing madness for spoils, civil
service, reform has found a place in our
public policy and laws. The benefits al
ready gaited through this instrumentality
and the further usefulness it promises en
title it to the hearty support and encour
a ement of all who desire to see our public
service well performed or who hope for the
elevation of political sentiment and the
purification of political methods.
The existence of immense aggregations of
kindred enterprises and combinations of
business Interests formed for the purpose
of limiting production and fixing prices is
inconsistent with the fair field which ought
to be open to every independent activity.
Legitimate strife in business should not be
superseded by an enforced concession to
the demands of combinations that have the
poAver to destroy, nor should the people to
be served lose the benefit of cheapness
which usually results from wholesome com
petition. These aggregations and combina
tions frequently constitute conspiracies
against the interests of the people and in
ali their phases they are unnatural and op
posed to our American sense of fairness,
To the extent that they can be reached and
restrained by federal power, the general
government should relieve our citizens from
their interference and exactions.
Loyalty to the principles upon which our
government rests positively demands that
the equality before the law which It guar
antees to every citizen, should be justly
I and in good faith conceded in all parts of
the land. The enjoyment of this right fol
lows the badge of citizenship wherever
found, and, unimpaired by race or color, it
