And of American Interests Abroad Following is the inaugural address of Presi- dent Harrison, delivered at the capitol to-day: There is no constitutional or legal require- ment that the President shall take the oath of office in the presence of the people. But there is so fest an in the publie induction to office of the chief executive officer of the nation that from the beginning of the government the people, to whose service the official cath consecrates the officer, have been called to witness the solemn ceremonial. The oath taken in the presence of the people becomes a mutual covenant—the officer's covenant to serve the whole body of the people by a faith- ful execution of the laws, so that they may be the unfailing defense and security of those who respect and observe them, and that neither wealth, station, nor the power of combinations shall be able to evade their just penalties or to wrest them from a beneficent public pur- pose to serve the ends of cruelty or selfishness. My promise is spoken; yours unspoken—but not the less real and solemn. The people of every state have here their representatives. Surely I do not misinterpret the spirit of the occasion when I assume that the whole body the peopie covenant with me and with each other to-day to sup- port and defend the Constitution and the Union @f the states, to yield willing obedience to all the laws and each to every other citizen his equal, civil and political rights. Entering thus solemnly into covenant with each other, we may reverently invoke and confidently expect the favor and help of Almighty God—that he will give to me wisdom, strength and fidelity, and to our people a spirit of fraternity and a love of righteousness and peace. This occasion derives peculiar interest from the fact that the presidential term, which be- gins this day, is the twenty-sixth under our Con- stitution. The first inauguration of President Washington took place in New York, where Congress was then sitting, on the 30th day of April, 1789, having been deferred by reason of delays attending the organization of the Congress and the canvass of the electoral vote. Our people have already worthily observed the centennials of the Deleration of Independence, of the battle of Yorktown, and of the adoption of the Constitution; and will shortly celebrate in New York the institution of the sevont grest-Gepartment of our constita- tional scheme of government. When the cen- tennial of the institution of the judicial de- partment, by the organization of the Supreme Court, shall have been suitably observed, as I trust it will be, our nation will have fully entered its second century. I will not attempt to note the marvelous and, in great part, happy contrasts between our country as it steps over the threshold into its second century of organized existence under the Constitution, and that weak but wisely or- dered young nation that looked undauntedly down the first century, when all its years stretched out before it. Our people will not fail at this time to recall the incidents which accompanied the institution of government under the Constitution, or to find inspiration and guidance in the teachings and example of Washington and his great asso- ciates, and hope and courage in the contrast which thirty-eight populous and prosperous states offer to the thirteen states, weak in every- thing except courage and the love of liberty, ‘fhat then fringed our Atlantic seaboard. The territory of Dakota has now a population greater than any of the original states (except Virginia).and greater than the aggregate of five of the smaller states in 1790. The center of population, when our national capitol was located, was east of Baltimore, and i was argued by many well-informed persons that it Would move eastward rather than westward. Yet, in 1830 it was found to be near Cincin- nati and the new census, about to be taken, will show another stride to the westward. That which was the body has come to be only the rich fringe of the nation’s robe. But our growth has not been limited to territory, popu- lation, and aggregate wealth, marvelous as it bas been in each of those directions. The masses of our people are bettter fed, clothed. and housed than their fathers were. The facilities for popular education have been vastly enlarged and more generally diffused. The virtues of courage and patriotism have given recent proof of their continued presence and increasing power in the hearts and over the lives of our people. The influences of re- ligion have been multiplied and Va. 74—No. 12,065. defense of our working people against in- jarious foreign competition, is an incident worthy of attention. It is not a departure, but ® return, that we have witnessed. The protec- tive party had then its opponents, The arga- ment was made as now that its benefits enured to particular classes or sections. If the question became in any sense or at any time sectional, it was only be- cause slavery existed in some of the states, But for this, there was no reason why the cotton- producing vironment. We have not sought to dominate or to absorb any of our weaker neighbors, but rather to aid and encourage them to establish free and stable governments, resting upon the consent of their own people. We have a clear right to expect, therefore, that no European government will seek to states should not have led or walked abreast with the New England states in the pro- duction of cotton fabrics. There was this rea- son only why the states that divide with Pennsylvania in the mineral treas- ures of the southeastern and. central mountain ranges should have been so tardy in bringing to the smelting furnace and to the mill the coal and iron from their near op posing hill sides. Mill fires were lighted at the faneral pile of slavery. The emancipation proclamation was heard in the depths of the earth, as well asin the sky. Men were made free and material things became our better servants. The sectional element has happily been eliminated from the tariff discus- That which a sense of justice restrains us from seeking, they may be reasonably expected will- ingly to forego. It must not be assumed, however, that our interests are so exclusively American that our entire inattention to any events that may trans- pire elsewhere can be taken for granted. Our citizens, domiciled for purpose of trade tory of these independent American states. ; sion. We have no longer states that are necessarily only planting states. None are ex- cluded from achieving that diversification of pursuit among the people which brings wealth and contentment. The cotton plantation will not be less valuable when the product is spun in the country town by operatives whose necessities call for diversified crops, and create a home demand for garden and agricultural products. Every new mine, furnace and factory is an ex- tension of the productive capacity of the state more real and valuable than added territory. Shall the prejudices and paralysis of slavery continue to hang upon the skirts of progress? How long will those who rejoice that slavery no longer exists cherish or tolerate the inca- pacities it put upon tneir communities? I look in all countries and in many of the islands of the sea, demand and will have our adequate care in their personal and commercial rights. The necessities of our navy require convenient coaling stations and dock and harbor privileges. These and other trading privileges we will feel free to obtain only by means that do not in any degree partake of coercion, however feeble the government from which we ask such concessions, But, having fairly obtained them, by methods and for purposes entirely consistent with the most friendly disposition toward all other powers, our consent will be necessary to any modification or impairment of the conces- sion, We shall neither fail to respect the flag of any friendly nation or the just rights of ite citizens, nor to exact the like treatment for our own, Calmness, justice and consideration should characterize our diplomacy. The offi- ces of an intelligent diplomacy to the peaceful adjustment of all internation- al difficulties. By such methods we will make our contribution to the world’s peace, which no nation values more highly, and avoid the opprobrium which must fall upon the nation that ruthlessly breaks it, The duty devolved by lawupon the President to nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate to appoint, all public officers whose appointment is not otherwise provided for in the Constitution or by act of Congress, has become very burdensome, and its wise and efficient discharge full of difficulty. The civil list is so large that a personal knowledge of any large number of the applicants is impossible. The President must rely upon the representations of others, and these are often made inconsiderately and without any just sense of responsibility. I have a right, I think, to insist that those who volun- teer or are invited to give advice as to appoint- ments shall exercise consideration and fidelity. A high sense of duty and an ambition to im- tive system, and to the consequent de- velopment of manufacturing and min- ing enterprises in the states, hitherto wholly given to agriculture, as a potent influ- ence in the perfect unification of our people. The men who have invested their capital in these enterprises, the farmers who have felt the benefit of their neighborhood, and the men who work in shop or field, will not fail to find and to defend a commu- nity of interest. Is it not quite pos- sible that the farmers and the promoters of the great mining and manufacturing enter- prises, which have recently been established in the south, may yet find that the free ballot of the workingman, without dis- tinction of race, is needed for their defense as well as for his own? 1 do not doubt that if those men in the south who now accept the tariff views of Clay and the constitutional exposition of Webster, would courageously avow and defend their real convictions they would not find it diffi- cult, by friendly instruction and co-op- eration, to make the black man their efficient and safe ally, not only in estab- prove the service should characterize all pub- lic officers, There are many ways in which the convenience and comfort of those who have business with our public offices may be pro- moted by @ thoughtful and obliging officer, and I shall ex those whom I may appoint to j ~their~ seleo- tion by a conspicuons efficiency in the dis- charge of their duties. , Honorable party serv- ice will certainly not be esteemed by me a dis- qualification for public office, but it will in no case be allowed to serve as a shield of official negligence, incompetency or delinquency. It is entirely creditable to seek public office by proper methodsand with proper motives, and all ap- plicants will be treated with consideration. But I shall need, and the heads of the depart- ment will need, time for inquiry and delibera- tion. Persistent importunity will not, there- fore, be the best support of an application for Office. Heads of departments, bureaus, and all other public officers, having any duty con- nected therewith, will be expected to enforce the civil-service law fully and without evasion. Beyond this obvious duty I hope to do some- thing more to advance the reform of civil service. The ideal or even my own ideal I shall probably not attain. Retrospect will be a safer basis of judgment than promises, We shall not, however, I am sure, be able to put our civil service upon a non-partisan basis until we have secured an incumbency that fair- minded men of the opposition will approve for impartiality and integrity. As the number of such in the civil list is increased, removals from office will diminish. While a treasury surplus is not the greatest evil it is a serious evil. Our revenue should be ample to meet the ordinary annual demands upon our Treasury with a sufficient margin for those extraordinary but scarcely less imperative demands which arise now and then. Expenditure should always be made with economy and only upon public necessity, Wastefulness, profligacy or favorit- ism in public expenditures is criminal. But there is nothing in the condition of our country or of our people to suggest that anything pres- sently mecessary to the public prosperity, security or honor should be unduly post- poned. It will be the duty of Con- grees wisely to forecast and estimate lisning correct principles in our national administration, but in preserving, for their local communities, the benefits of social order and econimical and honest gov- ernment, At least untilt he good offices of kindness and education have been fairly tried, the contrary conclusion cannot be plausibly urged. Ihave altogether rejected the suggestion of a special executive policy for any section of our country. It is the duty of the executive to administer and enforce, in the methods and by the instrumentalities pointed out and provided by the Constitution, all the laws enacted by Congress. These laws are general and their administra- tion should be uniform and equal. Asa citi- zen may not elect what laws he will obey, neither may the executive elect which he will enforce. The duty to obey and to execute embraces the Constitution in its en- tirety and the whole code of laws enacted under it. The evil example of permitting in- dividuals, or communities to onullify the laws because they cross some selfish or local interests or preju- dices, is fall of danger, not only to the nation at large, but much more to those who use this pernicious expe} dient to escape their just obliga tions orto obtainan unjust advantage over others. They will presently themselves be compelled to appeal to the law for protection, and those who would use the law as a defense must not deny that use of it to others. If our great corporations would more scrupulously observe their legal limitations and duties they would have less cause to complain of the unlawful limitations of their rights or of violent interference with their operations. The community that by concert, open or secret, among its citizens denies toa portion of its members their plain rights under the law has severed the only safe bond of social order and prosperity. The evil works from a bad center, both ways. It demoralizes those who practice it, and destroys the faith of those who suffer by it in the efficiency of the law as a safe protector. The man in whose breast that faith has been darkened is naturally the subject of and uncanny suggestions. Those who use unlawful methods, if moved by no motive than the selfishness that them, may well stop and inquire what is to be the end of this, An unlawful reduce our income below our necessary expenditures,with the resulting choice between A CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY. ‘What was Done in Both Houses Satur- and Sunday Nights.

The Senate. After Tax Stax went to press Saturday the Senate agreed to the conference report on the Indian appropriation bill, and passed the Okla- | homa bill, and ordered a conference on it. At 6:20 they took a recess until 8:30, pending a motion by Mr. Riddleberger to go into execu- tive session. When they reconvened the President's veto of the direct-tax bill was re- considered, and the bill was at once passed over the veto by a vote of 45to9. Messrs. Edmunés and Blair voted against the bill. | They then insisted on the Senate amendments | to the sundry civil bill. The principal points of difference relate to the congressional libra- | ary and the use of steam presses in the bureau of engra’ and printing. The District pawn- | brokérs’ bill was agreed to with House amend- | ment, and then proceeded with caiendar, with numerous interruptions by Mr. Riddleberger, who continued at intervals to demand an exe- cutive session.

It was clearly, however, in the contemplation of the framers of the Constitution that such an exigency might Srise, and provision was wisely made for it. The freedom of the ballot is a con- dition of our national life, and no power vested in Congress or in the executive to secure or perpetuate itshould remain unused upon occasion, The people of all the congress- ional districts have an equal interest that the election in each case shall truly express the views and wishes of a majority of the qualified electors residing within it. The results of such elections are not local, and the insistence of electors residing within it. The results of such elections are not local, and the insistence of electors residing in other districts that they shall be pure and free does not savor at all of impertinence. If, in any of the states,the public security is thought to be threatened by igno- rance among the electors, the obvious remedy is education. The sympathy and help of our people will not be withheld from any community struggling with special embarrassments or difficulties connected with the suffrage if the remedies proposed proceed upon lawfal lines and are promoted by just and honorable methods. How shall those who practice elec- tion frauds recover that respect for the sanctity of the ballot which is the first condition and obligation of good citizenship? The man who has come to regard the ballot-boxas a juggler’s hat has renounced his allegiance. Let us exalt patriotism and moderate our party contentions. Let those who would die for the flag on the field give a better proof of their patriotism and a higher glory to their country by promoting fraternity and justice.
