WHINLEY'S SECOND TERN ! Ohio's Capital the fcene of Much Repub- lican Rejoioing Yesterday. PARTY LINES FOR THE TIME WIPED OUT FPolitles Not Considersd in the fort to Do itonor to the Great Apostie of Protection—The Governor's Inmugural Specen. Cotusnvs, O., Jan, 8.—Governor McKin- guration to a second term as chief o of Ohio, was, as usual when gen- eral local intarest is manifested in such af- fairs, more of o social than political event. Colonel James Kilbourne, o leading business and soclety man and a possible demecratic nominec some day for congress, was chair. man of the comrmittee on reception. Rilcoln . Ritter of vae Thurman club, the sweil politicul organization of democratic procl ities, was one of the principal aides to the chief marshal; John J. Lentz, De Witt C. Jones, postmaster during Mr. Cleveland's first term; Hon. Selwin H. Owen, ex-judge of the suprome court; Hon. . L Booth, Hon. T. I&. Powell, who ran against Fora- ker for governor; John L. Trauger, who will probably be appointed postmaster by Mr. Cleveland ; Mayor George J. Karb, ex-Mayor Phillip I'. Burck, County Treasurer Samuel A. Kinnear, Colouel G. H. Bargar, pension agent under tho first administration of Mr. Cloveland, ex-Mayor Peters, Allun W. Thur- man and other democrats of stato or national reputation who are leaders heve in their re- spective professional and business lines were conspicuous in the ceremonie Business Partly Susponded. Similar events usually constitute a semi- noliday. Business is not suspended, but a great many people givo theday or evening to ploasure. Theso courtesies, regardless of party, began with the inauguration of tho late Willinm Allen. 1t was, perhaps, on this account that Governor McKinley today re- frained from touchiag especially upon politi- cal topics. Some of his political friends were of the opinion that he ought to have spoken directly upon political affairs of national im- portance, but the governor decided to do otherwise. Contrary Lo experience -upon former simi- lar occasions the weather was clear and cold, and the well paved streets were dry and clean. About 5,000 men were in the pro- cession. Among these were the Blaine and Logan clubs of Cincipnati, the Young Men's club of Canton, the Toledo Republican club, the local republican clubs and certain mili- tary organizations, all in command of Mar- shal-in-Chief H. A. Axline, ex-adjutant gen- eral of the state. ‘There were not,of course, any democratic clubs in the line, but the military and civic organizations and the stafts of marshals contained many well known local and other democrats. The parade moved at 1o'clock. viewed by the governor and his staff. Many leading citizens in political, soc and busi- ness life occupied seats on the large review- ing stand, which was on Broad street, north of the cavitol. The event of special social importance is to occupy this evenine in the senate cham- ber, where the governor in charge of the committee of reception will receive the people. I'he Arion, Lielerkranz, and Maen- nerchor Singing societies will sing as_one, and also as separate organizations. Nider- meyer's orchestra is to constitute part of the program. Remarks of the Governor. Concerning the inauguration proper the committee of the legislature had decided to hold the ceremony in the rotundaof the capitol, 1n case of bad weather, instead of at oneof the entrances, The weather being clear the ceremony was held at the west front. Scon atter 10 o'clock the governor appeared. Ho received a cordial welcome from the large audience. Rev. Archibald A, 2. Taylor, pastor of Westminster Prosby- terian church, invoked divine blessing upon the occasion, after which the governor was sworn 1nto office by Chiaf Justice Bradbury of the supreme court. The governor then spoke to the people in these words: ““Ninety-ono years ago on tho 1st of March next, the general assembly of Ohio met the first time under the constitution. There wore vhen thirteen senators and thirty re- presentatives; there are now thirty-one senators and 107 representatives. Then there were ten counties in tho stato; now there are eighty-ecight. The population then was less than 50,0005 now it is nearly 4,000,- 000. Then our predecessors were projecting & state; now the duty is upon us to support andadvance that state, astate which in those ninety years has grown to be anem- pire, equal to that of the thirteen original state when they, were organized into the federal union. “The inauguration ceremony of today {s the entering upon the performance of a pub- lic duty already imposed by the peoplo and In obedience to their sovereign will. Our elective system is the established means of erting the right and power of the majority to rule, and determine for the time who are to serve as the agents of the people within the meaning and limitations of the constitution and tho laws. When that re- sult is once determined, those who favored and those who opposed it join in cheerful acquiescence. In Ohio men ofall parties and men of all creeds bow in generous sub- mission to the only earthly sovereignty re- cognized —the people. Ohlo's Destitute, My fellow citizens, wo cannot be indiffer- ent, evon if we would, to current_busines: conditions, not_unmiwiful that today many of our fellow citizens are without work be- use they cannot find anything to do. Thero are homes in the state which less than u year ago were filled with cheer and contentment and are pow haunted with hunger. Our hearts go out in sympathy to these unfortunate ones of our fellow vitizens, and our purses should open to them in sweet and substantial charity. The present situa- tion affords a great opportunity to all of us to demonstrate the love we bear our fellow- men, aud if rightly improved will causo us to roalizo that it is moro blessed to give than to receive. Those who have should—and 1 ___know will—give to those who have not, and ~fhe people of our stato will permit nobe of ouvr men and women or children to suffer for the necessaries of life. God grant that this soourge to our industrial prosperity may spoedily pass away aud that tho tinio may not be long distant when business confidence shall again come to every community, when industry shall resumo its former nctivity and when the men now in enforced idleness shull have work and wages, and the homes now in poverty shall be blessed in plenty. +On the first of January 1 addressed a communication to the general assembly pre- senting tho needs and condition of the stato, which renders it unnecessary now 1o claim your attantion upon these subjects. I only tesire to add to what [ have already said in that connection that I shall cordially co-op- orato with the general assembly in every effort 1t may insugurate to improve the tinancial condition of the state, to seoure a better and more equal systew of taxation, promote economy and the efficiency of our public institutions, and advance the best in- torests of the state and the highost well be- ing of the people. It was Danger of Majorities. ““Tho tendency of all governments, and of all branches of ‘government, legislative and executive, is for each to Increuse its power and magrify its fmportance sometimes in doubtful rogard of laws and the constitution. ‘While the power and independence of tho co-ordinate branches of the government should be sacredly maintained, we should be careful not to encroach upon the organic law nor to trespuss upon the rightsof the peoplo. The best governwent is that which governs the least and which keeps safely within the Jetter and spirit of the constitution, and the best government always s that which best looks nfter its own, and which is the closest heart wuch with the highest aspirations of the people. A severe test comes to the ma- jority in a legislative body when that ma- jority is phenomenally large. Such a major ty I8 difficult to control. Self-imposod res siraint in the use of power 1s hard to exer. clse, but when exercised is a demonstration of commanding virtue and the highest ex- hibition of genuine state possession of groat power, too, often leads to great abuses. Conservatisim in legislation makes the wise legislator,and deliberation is Promotiro of the wisest enactments. ‘e have a groat state; evorything con- nectod with its past and present is ealeu- lated to inspiro us with reverence and affec tion. Our stato has been singularly fortu- nate In the fraternity of its citizenship. What it has accomplished has been accom plished by all its peopie: its glory has been the common glory and its pride the common pride in which ail the people have shured Brotherhood has been the striking charac. teristic of Ohfo life and civilization. The state, grounded on principles, based upon law, learning and liverty, has always been strong and broad, and liberal. Its adminis- trations have boen characterized by a noble pirit. Let as unite in keeping them so, Let us keep all our {nstitutions inviolable, ever regardful of the rights of one another, and preserving to nll the enjoy- ment of equal civil and religious liberty, of the rights of persons and of property and of conscience which are guaranteed by the constitution of the state. Our safety is in our reverence for law, our encouragoment of education, the preservation of honest ele tions and in our respect of mutual rights and obligations. Acknowledging before the people of the state the great honor which they have conferred upon me, I am deeply sensiblo of the responsibilities which that honot implies. I shall not be lacking in carnest endeavor to aavancesthe intorests of the state and shall ever be solicitons that this great common ealth shall presorve its name and fame untarnished, losing none of the prestize and honor which it has won inthe first century of its existence.” manship. Tho PERSISTENT WAITE, Tle Moans Business About the Extra Ses- #ion of Colorado’s Logislat DexvER, Jan. 8.—It looks as Waite is preparing to make his extra ses- sion stick if 1t takes allsummer. One of the hold-over senators said today that the gov- ernor says if the assembly adjourns without acting upon his recommendutions he will call them together again in the specitied ten days. ‘This is considered by some of the representativesa bluff on the part of the governor, but others who have been in con- ference with the chief executive say he will do it. Governor Waite's new paper, which will advocate the interests of vhe populists, will make its first appearance tomorrow after- noon. It will be called the Daily Populist and will bo edited by H. B. Stevens. It is generally understood that ~the paper is started for the purpose of upholding the acts of the extra session of the logislature, in so far as they follow the recommenda- tions of the governor, and to labor for the re-election of Waite to the governorship. Governor KANSAS POLITICS, Flerce Struggle Pending In the Fourth Con- gressional Distriot. Toreka, Jan. 8.—An_important conference of the republicans will bo held in connection with the republican congressional committee meeting at Emporia tomorrow afternoon. No opposition to the renomination of Con- gressman Curtis Is apparent, but the plans are bemng laid for a fierce contest at the polls. M. Scott, the state lecturer for the alliance, 1s the man upon whom the popu- lists appear to be concentrating to opnoso Charley Curtis. Scott, who formerly lived at McPherson, recently moved to Emporia, it is alleged, especially to mako tha race for member of the house from this district. The republicans tomorrow will iay the ground for a vigorous campaign as well as select the date for tho convention to renominate Cur- tis.

Bailey, chairman of the people's party Seventh congressional committee, which is self-explanatory, and created somewhat of a rvipple in political circles here, as the writer is also a member of the Board of County Commissioners of Reno county, and by his change of party the political complexion of the board is changed from populist to republican.

THE OMAHA DAILY SAVED THE PEOPLE MONEY Depository Law Working Batisfactorily Among Nebraska Oounty Treasurers, FUNDS DRAWING INTEREST GENERALLY Five Per tent Socured in Antelope—Boone Banks Decline to Furnlsh Proper Security and Wero Given No Money, Lixcory, Jan. 8.—(Special to Tar Bee.|— That part of the depository law requiring county treasurers to deposit county money in soma designated depository has been given at least a fair trial during tho past year and the rosults aro very satisfactory. Reports are in from but a few countios, but these {ndicate that the county treasurers over the state have boen more promptin complying with the law than the state offl- clals charged with its enforcement. In Antelope county the idlo funds are de- posited in the Commercial State bank of Neligh and the Bank of Elgin, For the first six months of the year 1593 the county received interest amounting to $133.85. In this county the depositories pay 5 per cent per annum upon balances In Boone coun anks refused to give bonds for the security of the funds lefu with them by the county treasurer and declined t for {he use of the same. Av the Last report the treasurer had on deposit about $40,000 in the First National of Albion, the Albion National, the Cedar Valley bank of Cedar Rapids, the Bank of Petersburg and witn the S. S. Hadley company of Cedar Rapids. Burt, Brown, Cherry and Colfax all report that the depository law is working satisfac- torily. In Chase county the banks refusc to give socurity for county funds.” Dawes and Dundy counties are working under the de- pository law with good results. In Dodge county the treasurer is working under tho old systom. He places the money where he thinks best and the county re- ceives no interest. At thedato of the last report ‘I'reasu John Dern had divided $81,094 amoug _the *four national banks in Fromont, the State bank of Hooper and the Bank of North Bend. Tho law has given the best of satisfaction in Frontier county, while it has proven of great benefit to the taxpayersof Gosper county. The treasurer of Cireeley county operated under the old system and his books are in vhe hands of the county commis- sioners. So the list runs, every county in which the law has been obeyed reporting excellent results. In one county, Perkins, the failure of the Furmers and Merchants bank of Grant tied up $1,124 of the county funds, which haa been placed in 1ts safe under the provisions of the depository law. The bank's bonu, however, is good, and the county will not lose a dollar. In Rock couaty the banks failed to bid for the use of the county funds, and the treasurer, by and with the consent and advice of the commis- sioners, invested the idle funds in county general warrants to the extent of §2,770. The following tabulated statement shows the amounts of interest money received by the several counties of the state for the use of county money under the depository act.

Attorney Van Etten of Omana filed with the supreme court this afternoon two peti- tions in favor of Julius Cooley and Theodore Gallagher, respectively, both of whom were last Suturday fined and imprisoned by Judge Ambrose of Omuaha for coutempt of court. ‘I'he petitions allege that there were errors in the proceedings, judgment and sentence. Among the causes of errvor it is cited that the presiding judgo was disqualified to act in the premises for the reason that he had formerly been attorney for one of the purties in the cause upon which this proceed- ing is founded. The petitions request the court to permit Cooley and Gallagher to file supersedaas bonds pending a review of the case and that the two men be discharged trom custody upon the filing of the avove petition. The chief justice made an order permitting Cooley and Gallagher to file a bond for 350 each, the same to be approved by the clerk of the district court of Douglas county.

Saturday night some one went to the yards at the packing houso in West Lincolt aua stole a young hog. They drove the animal toward the city and when about half the distance had been covered cut its throat. They then loaded 1t into a wagon and car- ried it to the MeNamara house, where it was dressed and secreted under the house, De- tective Malone easily traced the hog by the blood it left_by the wayside, and when he appeared at Mrs, McNamura's house the old lady was disposed to be_somewhat facetious at his expense.

Tho alleged news, smid to have been suppressed by the authorities hero, was to the effect that after Minister Willis had secured amunesty from the de- throned queen for the revolutionists and de- manded the resignation of tho officers of the vrovisional government, he landed troops and a battle followed in which several lives were lost; that Willis had been given his passport and was provably now on the Cor- win, the actions of which vessel have beon suspicious ever since she arrived in tho har- bor of Sax Francisco. The rumors and the consequent excite- ment led mea in_congress to express the selves more freely upon the Hawaiian sit tion than under ordinary circumstances, Democrats who have been making bold to defend the administration immediately pulled in their horns and were mum. Talk of impeachment proceedings against Grover Cleveland and Walter Q. Gresham was heard upon every hand. ‘There was not a democrat to be found who would attempt to offer any excuse or apology or defense for the reported action of the administration and Minister Willis, No one belicved that such an excessive abuse of authority could find any endorsement in congress. It is stated that the presulent and Seccretary Gresham have not slept for three days and nights and are almost worn out with suspense and worry.

Glover for the postmastership at Auror: Mr. Glover is chairman of the democrat central committee of Hamilton county and is a music dealer by occupation.

When asked by Trg BEr man concerning the nomi- nation Representative Hainer smiled and said: *'All the applicants for the position were good democrats and honorable gentle- men, but we republicans were not consulted, of course, and are not in 1t, and will not_be until aftor the next presidential election.” Fourth-clasa postmasters were appointed for Towa today as follows: Butfalo, Scott county, Hogo Hoftbauer, vice W.

D,, against any change in the present duty levied on barley. ‘The petitiouers state that should the provisions in the Wilson tarifft bill as they stand become law, = thero would annually be thrown upon this country from Canada 12,000,000 bushels of barley which would de- stroy that important inaustry of American farmers. Senator Pettigrew also presented petitions from a number of South Dakota cigarmalkers and manufacturers usking that uniform auty of 85 per cent be placed upon all unstemmed tobacco. In the supreme court today the caso of William L. Miller and others against the gle Manufacturing company from lowa, was dismissed, the decision of the court below being reversed, and the case remanded with costs. Theron L.

PeReY S, Hearu, here INCOME TAX UNCERTAINTY, One of the Reasous Why the Measure 1s Held in the House, WasuiNGToy, Jan, 8.—It is said that some of the democratic senators aro iuteresting themselves to some extent in the fight in the house, and tho leaders say that what the members who are fighting the bill ask for as to whether the iucome tax is to be a part of the measure or not, ought to be made known to them. Senator Hill, it is said, has advised Speaker Crisp that tho party was entitled 1o kuow how much wasto be in- corporated in the bill. Quite a contrast is presented by the fact that western demo cravs are opposing cousideration of the tarif bill, because they are afraid an income tax will bea partof thebill and western populists are afraid it will not be. General Wheeler, chairman of the house committee on territories, has no hope of get- ting up the bill for the admission of New Mexico until after the tariff bill is disposed of, and then it will be the regular order. Delegate Smith of Arizona, whose bill for has already the admission of his territor, no doubs of passod the house, says thero avorable action in the sonate. Ireigation Investigation. The Invostigation ot the water resoucces, undertaken by the geological suevey, has been praotically complated. Tho work was commenced {n Octobor, 1850, with the objoct of detormining the quantity of water avail- able for {rrigation of the arid lands of the west or for uso s water power. 'The most active fiald work was oarviod on in 1880-60 and studies have been mado of most of the drainage basins of the Hundrodth me- ridian ns woll as of several of thoe ‘‘catch- ments' of tho cast, I'ho scfontists devoted a large part of the time in examining the “runoffs’ of the Mis. sourl, Arkansas, Rio Grande and Snake rivers. ‘It does not appear probable,” said Geologist . Newell, “that oven as high as 10 per cent of the land now owned by tho government can ever be irrigated. In’ fact there is not a suffioent supply of water to briug under cultivation an area equal to that which has passed into the hunds of individ- uals and corporations. There are, however, localities, whoro thoussnds of acres can b profitably irrigatod by tho construction of dams and irrigating canals,” Books for & Model Library.

REFUSED TO IMITATE BEED, Spenker Crisp Withstood the Pleas of Dem- ocratic Friends to Count a Quorams WasHINGTON, Jan, 8.—Quite a number of democrats during the four days of last week have urged Speaker Crisp to count a quorum, and thus get the house out of its present tangle. o all such suggestions the speaker turned a deaf ear, as he wasone of the men of the Fifty-tivst congress who mado a fight on Reed for counting a quorum. It was then that he quoted Reed against Reed and ap- pealed from “Philip drunk to Philip sober.” Speaker Crisp would not care to have the quotation revived and turned on himself. He holds that with the large majority which the party has, with a rule effectually shut- ting out the filibusters, there is no ne- cessity for proceeding to any such extremity. AGAINST HUKNBLOWER.
