Judge Copenhaver, of the St. Clair county court, is bearing un complainingly great perscutions from the federal court for his peo ple. It would seem that his afflic tion is greater than mortal can bear. He has at the call of public duty and in defense of the rights of his constituents, witnessed his favorite daughter, the pride of his life and the idol of his heart, fade away because of his punishment. First she was robbed of that priceless jewel im planted in the human being by a di- yine Providence, the mind. Then death itself came on and relieved her of her sufferings. No sooner is he apprised of the terrible calam ity which had befallen him, and be- fore he can hardly realize its enorm- ity, another message.is brought him that his wife, the mother of his children, prostrated at the news of her daughter's death is lying at the point of death. These bond holders are not only collecting their pound of flesh, but christian blood and the very heart and soul is demanded in payment of their unjust usury Judge Philips can make his stump speeches from the bench and quote volubly, and no doubt correctly, law precedents to back his actions in this matter, but the fact remains that a great wrong is done the peo- ,CLEVELAND’s INAUGURAL INDUCTED INTO OFFICE.

It stifles the spirit of true Awerican- ism and stupefies every ennobling trait of American citizenship. The lessons of paternalism ought to be learned aud the better lesson taught that, while the people should patri- tives of foreign countries were dressed in their bright national cos tumes, and the magnificent dress of Americans almost vied with them in color. Vice-President Morton resigned his seat to Mr. Stevenson and the new senators took the oath of office Among them was Senator Martin of Kansas. It was not until 1:35 o'clock that Mr. Cleveland appeared on the east portico of the capitol. Washington, March 4.—As soon as the thousands gathered about the stand had become quiet, President Cleveland, in measured tones which were heard distiuetly by nearly ali present, delivered his inaugural ad- dress as follows: My Fexitow Currizens: In obe dience to the mandate of my country ple of these bond-riddeu counties, and innocent people are suffering the punishment meted out to com mon criminals and law breakers. Governor Stone with commenda ble courage and far reaching wis dom has in a special message to the legislature asked that body to take such action in this matter as will settle the question of conflict be- tween the state and federal authori ties. Judge Copenhaver has become a martyr to this cause and through his sorrow and affliction such a protest should go up from all over this state as will force this question toa set tlement and .right this terrible wrong. The intelligence comes from Washington that Judge Gresham is a democrat. The dispatches have the following on that point: “Mr. Gresham desires to impress upon those with whom he conversed that he did not desire to be consid- ered asa republican, an indepen- dent or.a mugwump, but as a demo- crat. He said he had burned the bridges behind him, and that hence- forth he would be as good a demo- crat, all along the line, as any mem- ber of the party.” This is glorious news. The dem- ocratic platform is.large and broad enough to welcome every convert who comes to it in good faith as we believe Judge Gresham has done. Congress passed the bill opening the Cherokee strip to settlement during its closing hours and it was promptly signed by the president. It provides for the payment of $8,- 295,000. The $295,000 is to be paid in cash the rest in bonds. The In- terior department will set a day for the opening and will, no doubt give everybody a fair opportunity to get one of these farms. The Missouri House Tuesday passed a joint and concurrent reso lution providing for a constitutional amendment permitting county court to levy an additional 15 cents on each $100 for road purposes. Governor Stone recommends to the legislature that an appropria- tion of $250,000 be made to the state university for the construction of the main building. The bill repealing, township or- ganization, passed the senate on Tuesday by a vote of 24 to 8 It needs the-Governor’s signature to make it a law. Congressman Tarsney has about recovered from his severe illness, and Mrs. Tarsney expects to remove him from Washington in a few days. men, Iam about to dedicate myself to their service under the sanction of a solemn oath. Deeply moved by the expression of confideuce aud per sonal attachment which has called me to their service, I am sure my gratitude can make no better return than the pledge I now give before God aud the witnesses of unreserved 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 pres ent importance, to also briefly refer otically and cheerfully support their government its functions do not in clude the support of the people. The acceptance of this principle leads toa refusal of bounties and subsidies whieh burden the labor and thrift of a portion of our citi- zens, to aid ill advised or languish ing enterprises in which they have no concern. It leads also to a chal- lenge of wild and reckless pension expenditure, which overleaps the bounds of grateful recognition of patriotic service and prostitutes to vicious uses the people’s prompt and generous impulse tv aid those dis abled in their country’s defense. Every thoughtful American must realize the importance of checking at its beginning any tendency in pub- lic or private station to regard fra- gality and economy as virtues which we may safely outgrow. The toler ation of this idea results in the waste of the people’s mousey by their cho sen 8 rvants, encouraging prodigali ty and extravagance in the home life of onr countrymen. Under our citizen and the contempt of our peo ple for economy and frugality in their personal affairs, deplorably saps the strength and sturdiness of our national character. It is a plain dictate of honesty and good government that public ex- penditures should be limited by pub hie necessity, aud this measured by the rules of strict econ omy; and it is equally clear that fru to the existence of certain conditions| gelity among the people is the best and tendencies among our people which seem to menace the integrity and usefulness of their government. While every American _ citizen must contemplate with utmost pride and enthusiasm the growth and ex pansion of our country, the sufficien- cy of our institutiuns to stand against the rudest shocks of violence the wonderful thrift and enterprise of our people, and the demoastrated superiority of our free government, it behooves us to constantly watch for every symptom of insidious in firmity which threatens our national vigor. The strong man who, in the confidence of sturdy health, courts the sternest activities of life and re joices in the hardihood of constant labor, may still have lurking near his vitals the unheeded disease that dooms him to sudden collapse. It cannot be doubted that our stupen dous achievements asa people and our country’s robust strength have given rise to a heedlessness of laws governing our national health which we can no more evade than human life can escape the laws of God and nature. Manifestly nothing is more vital to our supremacy as a nation and to the beneficient purposes of our govern- ment than a sound and stable cur rency. Its exposure to degredation should at once arouse to activity the most enlightened statesmanship; and the danger of depreciation in the purchasing power of the wages 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 wise if we temper our confidence and faith in our national strength and resources, with the frank con- cession that even these will not per- mit us to deny with impunity the inexorable laws of finance and trade. At the same time, in our efforts to adjust differences of opinion we should be free from ee, ed passion and our judgment sho be unmoved by slluring phrases and unvexed by selfish interests. Iam confident that such an approact to the subject will result in prudent and effective remedial legislation. In the meantime, so far as the executive branch of the governmen can inter vene, none of the powers with which it is invested will be withbeld when their exercise will be deemed neces- sary to maintain our national credit or avert financial disaster. Closely related to the exaggerated confidence in our country’s ess, which tends toa Tiarcyard of the rules and national safety, ano danger con- fronts us not less seri ; guarantee of a conteuted and strong support of free institutions One mode of the misappropriation of public funds is avoided when ap pointments to office, instead of being the reward of partisan activity, are awarded to those whose efficiency promises a fair return of work the compensation paid to them To se- cure the fitness and competency of appointees to office, and to remove from politicl action the demoraliz ing madness for spoils, civil service reform has found a place in our public policy and laws The bene fits already gained through this in- strumentality and the further use fulness it promises, entitle it tothe hearty support and encouragement of all who desire to see our public service well performed, or who hope for the elevation of political senti ment and the purification of political methods. The existence of immense aggre gations of kindred enterprises and combinations of business interests, formed for the purpose of limiting production and fixing prices, is in consistent with the far field which ought to open to every independent activity. Legitimate strife in busi ness should not be superseded by an enforced concession to the demands of combinations that have the pow er to destroy; nor should the people to be served lose the benefit of cheapness which usually results from wholesome competition. Thece ag gregations and combinations fre quently constitutes conspiracies against the interests of the people and in all their phases they are un- natural and opposed to our Ameri- can sense of fairness. To the extent that they can be reached and re- strained by federal power the gener- al government should relieve our citizens from their interference and exactions. Loyalty to the principles upon which our government rests, posi- tively demands that the equality be- fore the law which it guarantees to every citizen should be justly and in good faith conceded in all parts of the land. The enjoyment of the right follows the badge of citizen- ship wherever found, and, unimpair- ed by race or color, appeals for rec ogmition to American manliness ard fairness. Our relations with the Indians lo- cated within our borders impose upon us responsibilities we cannot escape. Humanity and consistency require us to treat them with for- bearance, and in our dealings with them to honestly and cousiderately regard their rights and interests.

The people of the United States have decreed that this day the eon trol of their government in the leg islative and executive branches shall be given to a political party pledged in the most pesitive terms to the accomplishment of tariff reform They have thus determined in favor of a more just and equitable system of federal taxation. The agents they have chosen to carry out their | purposes are bound by their prom ises, not less than by the command of their masters, to devote them selves unremittingly to this service While there should be no surrender of principle our task must be under taken wisely and without vindictive- ness Our mission is not punishment but the rectification of wrongs If, in lifting burdens from the daily life of our people we reduce inordinate and unequal adyantages long enjoy ed, this is but a necessary imcident of our return tu right and justice. If we et from unwilling minds acquiescence iu the theory of an hon- est distribution of the fand of gov ernmental beneficence treasured up for all. we insist upon a_ principle which underlies our free institutions When we tear aside the delusions and misconceptions which have blinded our countrymen to their condition under vicious tariff laws. we but show them how far they have been led away from tue paths of contentment and prosperity. When we proclaim that the necessity for revenue to support the government furnishes the only justification for taxing the people we announce a truth so plaim that its denial would seem to indicate the extent to which judgment may be influenced by fa- miharity with perversions of the taxing power; and when we seek to reinstate the self confidence and business enterprise of our citizens, by discrediting an abject independ ence upon governmental favor we strive to stimulate these elements of American character which support the hope of American achievements. Anxiety for the redemption of the | pledges which my party has made and solicitude for the complete jus tification of tke trust the people have reposed in us, constrain me to remind those with whom I am to! eo operate that we can succeed in doing the work which has been es- pecially set before us only by the most sincere, harmonious aud disin terested effort. Even if insupporta- ble obstacles and opposition pre vent the consummation of our task, we shall hardly be excused; and if failure can be traced to our fault or neglect, we may be sure the people will hold us to a swift and exacting accountabihty. The oath I now take to preserve, protect and defend the constitution cf the United States not only im- pressivelyjdefines the great respcnsi- bility I assume but suggests obedi ence to constitutional commands as the rule by which my official con- duct must be guided. I shall, to the best of my ability and within my sphere of duty, preserve the consti- tution by loyalty protecting evers grant of federal power it contains, by defending all its restraints when attacked by impatience and restless- ness and by enforcing its limitations and reservations in favor of the state and the people.
