Although many of those who attended Mri, McElroy’s crowded reception at the White House Saturday afternoon were doubtless strangers in the city who were glad of the op- portunity of inspecting the building and wit- nessing the occasion, yet the mass of the thou- sand visitors who gathered there were ladies and gratienien of society, who purposely as sembled to pay their last social tribute to the retiring hostess of the Executive Mansion, and in that light Mrs, McElroy’s reception was one ofthe most flattering social testimonials ever tendered to a lady in or out of the first residence of the country.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS. ——>+___ A BRIEF AND PITHY ORATION. —_.__—_. The following ts the inaugural address of President Cleveland, delivered at the Capitol to-aay: FELLOW CrTizeNs: In the presence of this vast assemblage or countrymen, Iam about to supplement and seal by the oath which I shall take, the THE faanifestation of the will of a great and free | people. In the exercise of their power and right of self-government, they have committed | to one of their fellow citizens a supreme and sacred trust; and he here consecrates himself to their service. This impressive ceremony adds little to the solemn sense of responsibility with which I contemplate the duty I owe to all the people of | the land; nothing can relieve me from anxiety lest by any act of mine their interests may suffer, and nothing is needed to strengthen my resolution to engage every faculty and effort in the promotion of their welfare. Amid a : e ple's nid the din of party strife the people's | Ml” aaah choice was made; but its attendant cireum- stances have demonstrated anew the strength and safety of a government by the people. In each succeeding year it more clearly appears that our democratic principle needs no apolozy, and that in its fearless agd faithful application is to be found the surest guaranty of good gov- ernment. But the best results in the operation of a gov- ernment, wherein every citizen has a share, largely depend upon a proper limitation of purely partisan zeal and effort, and a correct appreciation of the time when the heat of the partisan should be merged in the patriotism of the citizen, ‘Te-day the executive branch of the government is trunsferred to new keeping. But this is still the government of all the people, and it should be none the less an object of their affectionate solicitude, At this hour the animosities of po- litleal strife, the bitterness of partisan defeat and the exultation of partisan triumph should be supplanted by an ungrudging acquiescence in the popular will, and a sober, conscientious concern for the general weal. Moreover, if, from this hour, we cheerfully and honestly abandon all sectional prejudice and distrust, and determine, with munly confidence in one another, to work out harmoniously the achi ments of our national destiny, we shall deserve to ealire all the benefits which our happy form of government can bestow. On this auspicious occasion we may well ré- new the pledge of our devotion to the Constitu- tion, which, launched by the founders of the Republic, and consecrated by their prayers and patriotic devotion, has for almost a centu: borne the hopes and the aspirations of a gr “at people through prosperity and peace, and through the shock of foreign conflicts and the perils of domestic strife and vicissitudes. By the Father of his Country our Constitution was commended for adption as “the resultofa spirit ofamity and mutual concession,” In that same spirit it should be administered, in order to promote the lasting welfare of the country and to secure the full measure of its price- less benefits to us and to those who will suc- ceed to the blessings of our national life. The large variety of diverse and competing inter- ests subject to federal control, persistently seek- ing the recognition of their claims, need give us no. fear that “the greatest good to the greatestnumber” will fail to be accomplished if, in the halls of national legislation, that spirit of amity and mutual concession shall prevail in which the Constitution had its birth, If this involves the surrender or postponement of private interests and the abandonment 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 Ishall en- deavor to be guided by a just and unstrained construction of the constitution, a careful ob- servance of the distinction between the powers granted to the federal government and thosi reserved to the state or to the people, and by a cautious appreciation of those functions which, by the constitution and laws, have been espec ally assigned to the executive branch of the government. But he who takes the oath to-day to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, only assumes the solemn obliga- tion which every patriotic citizen, on the farm in the workshop, in the busy marts of trade, and everywhere, should share with him, The Constitution which prescribes his oath, my countrymen, is yours; the government you have chosen him to administer 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 capitols and the Na- tional capitol, is yours, Your every voter, as surely as your chief magistrate, under. the same high sanction, though in a different 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 useful- ness. Thus is the people's will impressed upon the whole framework of our civil polity—muni- cipal, State and federal—and this is the price of our liberty and the inspiration of our faith in the Republic. It is the duty of those serving the people in public place to closely limit public expendi- tures to the actual needs of the government economically administered; because this bounds the right of the government to axact tribute from the earnings of labor, or the property of the citizen, and because public extravagance begets extravagance among the people. We should never be ashamed of the simplicity and prudential economies, which are best suited to the operation of a republican form of government and most compatible with the mis- sion of the American people, Those who are selected, fora limited time, to manage public affairs, are still of the people, and may do much by their example to encourage, consistently with the dignity of their official functions, that plain way of life which among their fellow-citi- zens aids integrity and 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 the settlement and de- velopment of the resources of our vast territory, dictate the scrupulous avoldance of any de parture from that foreign policy, commended by the history, the traditions and the prosperity ofourrepublic, It is the policy of independ- ence, favored by our position and defended by our known love of justice and by our power. It is the policy of peace suitable to our interests, It is the policy of neutrality, rejecting any share in foreign broils and ambitions upon other con- tinents, and repelling their intrusion here. It is the policy of Monroe and of Washington and Jefferson—“Peace, commerce and honest friend- ship with all nations; entangling alliance with none.” A due regard for the interests and prosperity of all the people demand 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 sure and:steady; and that our system of revenue shall be so adjusted as to relieve the people from unnecessary taxation, having @ due regdrd to the interests of capital inyested and. workingmen employed in Ameri- can industries, and preventing the accumula- tion of a surplus in the treasury to tempt ex- travagance and waste. + Care for the property of | thé nation, and for the needs of future settlers, require that the public domain should be pro- tected from purloining schemes and unlawful occupation, ie ‘The conscience of the people demands that the within our boundaries, shall be fairly and honestly treated as wards of the gov- ernment, and their education and civilization promoted, with a view to their ultimate citi- preset a eas sell mei ‘the territories, destructive of the felation and | be In good faith enforced. | employment have the right to insist that merit | there should be no pretext for anxiety touch- offensive to the moral sense of the civilized world, shall be repressed. The laws should be rigidly enforced which prohibit the immigration of a servile class to compete with American labor, with no intention of acquiring citizenship and bringing with them and re- taining habits and customs repugnant to our civilization. The people demand reform in the adminis- tration of the government and the application of business principles to public affairs, As a means to this end Civil Service Reform should Our citizens have the right to protection from the incompetency of public employes who hold their places solely as the reward of partisan service and from the corrupting influence of those who promise, and the vicious methods of those who expect such rewards. And those who,worthily k public and competency shall be recognized instead of party subservicricy, or the surrender of honest political belief. In the administration of a government pledged to do equal and exact justice toall men, ing the protection of the freedmen in their Tights, or their security in the enjoyment of their privileges under the Constitution and its amendments, All discussion as to their fitness for the place accorded to thei as American citizens is idle and unprofitable, except as it suggests the necessity for their im- provement. The tact that they are citizens en- titles them to all the rights due to that relation m withall its duties, obliga- tions and responsibilities, These topics, and the constant and ever var: ing wants of an active and enterprising popul well receive the attention and th endeavor of all who make and ex- ecute the federal Our duties are practi- cal, and call for industrious application, an in- telligent perception of the claims of public of fice, and, above all, a firm determination, by united action, to secure to all the people of the land the full benefits of the best form of go ernment every vouch: toman. And let us not trust to human effort alone; but humbly ac- knowledging the power and ‘goodness of Al- mizhty God, who presides over the destiny of nations, and who has at all times been revealed in our country’s history, let us invoke His aid and His blessing upon our labors. so A Serious Bar-room Row.

THE PRINCIPAL OF A SEMINARY SHOT AND KILLED BY AN ANGRY HUSBAND, A telegram from Canajoharie, via Little Falls N. Y., March Ist, says: There is much excite- ment throughout this county over the brutal murder of Professor C. S. Smith, principal of Fairfieldseminary, who was shot and killed by Dr. Richter at Middlefield late yesterday after noon. The circumstaneés attending the trag- edy are as follows Some time ago Dr. Richter separated from his wife. The latter has frequently requested a di- vision of the personal property, but the doctor persistently refused to give her anything. She jetermined to recover ashare by means of lega proceedings, and to this end she obtained a writ ofreplevin. Professor Smith was acti for Mrs. Richter in the case, he being married to her niece, About four o'clock Professor Smith, accom- nied by an officer, went to Richter's residence, Phey searched through the house, Smith point- ing out to the officer the goods which Mrs. Rich- terclaimed. Richter then became exasperated and, having procured a pistol,came behind Smith and shot him in the back.’ The wounded man was only able to reach the street and tell some passers by how he had been shot when he expired. The murderer left the house and pro- ceeded to ahotel where he Was soon informed of the death of his victim.

Although Mrs. Hendricks by no means re= quires an introduction at this time to Wash- ington society, yet now that she is, by virtue of her position io become the first lady in official circles it will be pleasing to read testimonials to her charming qualities. An exchange says: “Mrs. Hendricks 1s about fity years of ag and childless, Her only child, a boy, died In 1851, when only three years old." In the absence of maternal responsibilities she has de- voted herslf to the interests of her husband, has been his traveling companion very much,'and cultivated society with the view to his ad- vancement, She is well-informed and a woman of sagacious judgment, her husband's best ad- viser and competent assistant in affairs not fre- quently of absorbing interest to women. His best speeches bear evidences of her taste and discrimination. Her charities are admin istered with a business method which is mirable, During the time when her husbani was governor of Indiana she visited with him the various penal and reformatory institutions, and inquired into their affairs closely. Mr. Hendricks knows better than anybody else how much he is indebted to his helpmeet for his success in life, Mrs. Hendricks shines in society. She is pleasing in appearance, because good-looking and richly dressed in perfect taste.
