An Immense Crowd-Miles of Dec orations—treat Military Dis play and Many Civic Org anizations. A Splendid Procession and a Big Day for the Democracy—The Inaugural Ceremony The New President’s Address. Washington. March 4. Washington was thronged with eager and expectant faces this morning. Pennsylvania avenue has been swathed in bunting for a week past, and Hags were Hying in all direc tions. The morning was (air. It was estimated that a hundred thousand strangers were in town. At about 10 o'clock. Senators Sherman anti Hansom called upon Mr. Cleveland, at the Arlington, and soon afterward escorted him to the White House. Senator Hawley pres ently arrived with Mr. Hendricks, and at 11 o’clock President Arthur and the President and Vice President-elect were escorted to the capitol by the United States troops, the ma rine corps and the District volunteers. President Arthur and his Cabinet occupied the President’s room at the capitol, where the legislation of the closing hours of the admin istration was considered and completed. Mr. Cleveland and Mr. llenuricks were tak-n to the Vice President’s rooms. When all was ready, Mr. Hendricks was summoned to the Senate chamber, where the oath of office was administered to him by tile acting president of the Senate, in the pres ence of the Senators and Representatives,the Supreme Court, the Diplomatic corps, heads of departments and other distinguished visitors. Tile august assembly then proceeded through the rotunda to the platform which had been erected before the central portico oi the east front of the capitol. On reaching the portico, the President and President-elect took the seats reserved for them, the Chief Justice on their right and the Sergeant-at-arms of the Senate on their left, ami other distinguished witnesses of the inauguration occupied the seats assigned to them. When summoned to take the oatli of office, Mr. Cleveland said: The InnugiiiHl Address. Fellow Citizens :—In presence nf this vast assemblage of mv countrymen, I am about to supplement ami seal, by the oath which I shall take, the manifestation 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 citi zens a supreme and sacred trust, and he here consecrates himself to their service This impressive ceremony adds little to the solemn j sense of responsibility with which I content piate 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 sutler, and nothing is needed to strengthen my r solution to engage every faculty j ami effort in the promotion of their wel-1 fare. Amid the din of party strife the peo- pie’s choice was made, but its attendant cir- cuntstances have demonstrated anew the strength and safety of the government by the people. In each succeeding year it more clearly appears that our democratic princi ple needs no apology and that in its fearless ami faithful application is to be found the surest guaranty of good government. But the best results in the operation of a gov- ernment, wherein every citizen has a share, largely depend upon the proper lim itation of purely partisan zeal and effort, I and a correct appreciation of the time when the heat of the partisan should be merged in the patriotism of the citizen. To-day the executive branch of the government is trans- i ferred to new keeping; but this is still the1 government of all the people and it should be none the less an object of affectionate solicitude at this hour. The animosities of political strife, the bitterness of partisan de feat and the exultation of partisan triumph should be supplanted by an ungrudging ac quiescence in the popular will and a sobsr, conscientious concern for the general weal. 1 Moreover, if from this hour we cheerfully i and honestly abandon all sectional prejudice and distrust, and determine with manly con j fidence in one another to work out har moniously the achievement of our national destiny, we shall deserve to realize all the benefits which our happy form of government can bestow. On this auspicious occasion 1 all may well renew the pledge of our de votion to the constitution, which, launched by the founders of the republic, and conse crated by their prayers and patriotic devo tion, lias for almost a century borne the j hopes anil the aspirations of a great people through prosperity and peace, and through I the shock of foreign conflicts and perils of domestic strife and vicissitudes. By the j father of his country our constitution was commended for adoption as the result of the spirit of amity and mutual concession. In that same spirit it should be admini.tered, in order to promote the lasting weliare of the country, and secure the lull measure of its priceless benefits to us and those who will suc ceed to the blessings of our national life. The large variety of diverse and competing interests, subject to federal control, persis tently seeking the recognition of their claims, need give us no fear that the greatest good to l the greatest number will fail of accomplish ment if. in the halls of national legislation, that spirit of amity and mutual concession i shall prevail in which the constitution had its birth; if this involves surrender or post ponement of private interests and abandon ment of le>cal advantages.compensation will be found in the assurance that thus the common interest is subserved and the general welfare j advanced. In the discharge of my official duty, I shall endeavor to be guided by a just and unstrained construction of the constitu tion,by a careful observance of the distinction between the powers granted to the federal government and those reserved to the States or to the people, and by cautious appreciation of those functions, which, by the constitution and laws have been specially assigned to the executive branch of the government. But he who takes the oath to preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States,

only assumes the solemn obligation which every patriotic citizen on the farm, in the workshop, in the busy marts of trade, and everywhere, should share with him 1 he constitution, which prescribes his oath, mv countrymen, is yours. The government you have chosen him to admiaister 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 t the State capitols and the national capitol i« yours. V« ur everv voter, as surely as your Chief Magistrate under the same high sanct^ui, though in a different sphere, exercises a public trust. Nor i* this all. Every citizen owes to his country a vigilant watch, a close scrutiny of its public servants, and a fair and reasonable stiruate of their fidelity and usefulness. Thus is the peoples’ will impressed upon the whole frame- j work ot our civil policy, municipal. State and federal, and this is the price of ourlibertv and the inspiration of our faith in the republic. It is the duty of those serving the people in pub- j lie place to closely limit expenditures to; the actual needs of government economical-1 Iv administered,because this bounds the right of government to exact tribute from the! earnings of labor as the property of the citi-1 zen, and because public extravagance begets j extravagance among the people. We should not be ashamed of the simplicity and prudeoti-! al economies which are best suited to the op-1 eration of a republican form of government, and most compatible with the mission ot the American people. Those who are se lected for a limited time to man age public affairs are still of the people, and may do much by their example to encourage, consistently with the dignity «*t their official functions, that plain way of life which among their fellow citizens aids integrity and promotes thrift and prosperity. The genius of our institutions, the needs of our people in their home life, and the at tention winch is demanded fur ttie settlement and development ot the resources of our vast territory, dictate the scrupulous avoidance of any departure from that foreign policy, com mended by the history, the traditions and the prosperity of our Republic It is a policy of in dependence, favored by our position, and de fended by our known love ot justice, and bv our power, and it a p »licy of peace suitable to our interests. It is a policy of neutrality rejecting any share in foreign broils and ambitions upon other continents, Hini repelling their intrusion here. It is the policy of Mon roe and of Washington and Jefferson— peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none A true regard for the interests and prosperity of all our people demands that our finances sha'd be established upon such a sound and sensible basis as shall secure the safe ty and confidence of business interests and make the Wages of labor sure and steady,and that onr system of revenue shall be so adjust ed as to relieve the people from unnecessary taxation,having due regard to the interests of capital invested and workmen employed in American industries, and preventing the ac cumulation of a surplus in the treasury to tempt extravagance arid waste. Care for the prosperity of the nation and for the needs ol future settlers requires that the public domain should be protected from pur loining schemes ami unlawful occupation. The conscience of the people demands that the Indians within our boundaries shall be fairly and bom ally treated as wards of the government, ami their education and civilization promoted, with a view to their ultimate citizenship, and that polygamy in the territories, destructive of the family rela tion, and 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 intea tion of acquiring citizenship, and bringing witli them and retaining habits and customs repugnant to our civilization. The people demand reform in the adminis tration ot the government, and tile application of business rules to public affairs, and as a incans to this end civil service reform should be in good faitli enforced. Citizens have tlie right to protection from the incompetency of public employes, who hold their places solely as a 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 seeK public employment have tlie right to insist that merit and competency shall be recognized instead of party subser viency or surrender of honest political belief. In the administration of a gov ernment pledged to do equal and exact jus tice to all men, there should be no pretext tor anxiety touching the protection of the freedmen in their rights, or their security in the enjoyment of their privileges under tlie Constitution and its amendments. Discussion as to their fitness for the place accorded to them as American citizens, is idle and uprnfitable, except as it suggests necess ity for their improvement. The fact that they are citizens, entitles them to all the rights due to that relation, and charges them with these obligations and responsibilities. Those topics, and the constant and ever-varying wants of an active and enterprisfeig population may well receive tlie attention and patriotic endeavors of ail who make and execute the federal law. Our duties are practical, and call for in dustrious application, an intelligent per ception of the claims of public office, and, above all, a firm determination, by united ac tion, to secure to all tlie people of the land the full benefits of tlie best form of government ever vouchsafed to man And let us not trust to human effort alone, hut humbly ac knowledging the power and goodness of Al mighty God. who presides over the destiny of nations, and who has at all timet been re vealed in our country's history, let us invoke His aid and His blessing upon our labors. The Oath of Office Administered. At the conclusion of the address, the oath of office was administered to the President elect tiy the Chief Justic. The President and ex-President Arthur then took their places in a carriage in the procession, which was the most striking fea ture of the day's ceremonies. The two carriages which contained Presi dent Cleveland. ex-President Arthur, Vice President Hendricks, and the Senate com mittee of arrangements took posui ins in the first division. The procession was organized and marched as follows: Chief Marshal—Major General Henry W. Slocum, of New Turk. Ohiet of Stall—Brevert Brigadier General Albert Ordwav, United States volunteers. Marsha! of First Division—Brevert Major General U. B. A ryes. United States army. M irshal ot Stcond Division—* Major Gen eral John F. Hartranft, National Guards ol Pennsylvania. Marshal of Third Division—Major General Fitz Hugh Lee, Virginia volunteer militia. Marshal of F’ourth Division—Mr. Thomas J. Lutlrell, of Washington, D. C. The first division consisted of the regular army, the marine corps, the district militia, and the Grand Army of the Republic, depart ment of the Potomac. The second division was composed wholly of the National Guard of Pennsylvania. Other visiting militia formed the third di vision. The fourth division consisted of civic or ganizations. Altogether about 25.000 men were in line, and tile procession nearly five miles long. General Ordwav, chief of the stall, commun icated with each division through the field telegraph of the signal corps. The civic division was formed in six brig ades. New York, Pennsylvania, May land and Virginii furnishing four of them A cavelcade of 219 horsemen represented the States which gave 219 electoriil votes to Cleveland and Hendricks. The greatest enthusiasm was manifested all along the line. The crowds on the side walks had increased so that it was imp s«ible to pass through them. The police had all they could do to keep the avanue open for the procession. As the procession moved down Pennsylva nia avanue, amidst the booming of guns aud the cheering of the immense throngs of spec tators, the carriage containing tiie President and ex-President dropped quietly out of the line and was driven rapidly to the White House, arriving in season for lunch. Reviewing the Procession. Vice President Hondricks soon joined the President and ex-President at the White j House, and when everything was in readi-1 ness the entire party proceeded to the re- 1 viewing stand on Pennsylvania avenue, di- j rectly in front of the mansion. The reviewing stand was profusely deco- rated with flags, so as to make a canopy, and at the same time so arranged as to afford a clear, unobstructed view of the procession. Arm chairs were placed upon it tor the use of the party, but tile President remained standing during the entire review. Ex-Pres ident Arthur sat on his left. Vice President Hendricks and members of his household occupied seats to the right, and just back of the President, sat the whole family of the President, and friends of the President and ex-President sat in the front row on the right. Among those who occupied seats on the Presid niial stand were Secretaries Freling huvced, McCulloch, Lincoln, Chandler and Teller, Post-master General Hatton. Lt. General Sheridan, Major General Hancock. Mr. Manning, Mr. Viles. Mr. Erdieott, Mr Bayard. Mr Garland, and a large number of other prominent persons. It is estimated that there were on the stand about 1,000 per sons. It was ten minutes pa-t two o’clock when the President, escorted in Col. Barrett of the inaugural committee, took his place at the trout ol the stand, and the head of the pro cession started from the corner of 13th St. to pass in review. The President’s appearance was the signal for a great shout from the concourse of peo ple which was gathered in front of the stand and filled the streets for several hundred yards in both directions. The President quietly bowed his acknowledgements, and look Ins seat. A good deal of confusion was caused in the vicinity of the band stand by the efforts of the police to clear the street lor the approach ing procession. The work was finally ac complished, but with great diflculty.mounted police riding into the dense throng ot specta tors and driving them back with their bat ons. The review was fine. The presidential stand was a grand signt, and it was the gen erally expressed opinion that no more h*il liant pagaents had ever been witnessed in tiiis country. All of tile organizations gave a marching salute as they passed the grand stand, and the President at first recognized the compliment by raising his hat to every separate commander, but the length of the line ami the chilliness of the breeze which sprung up, compelled him to keep Ids head covered, and in most cases limit his acknowledgement to a slight bow. Tho procession was Three Hours in Passing. The President saluted the Chief Marshal and his aids, anil each of the companies which marched in particularly good form. There were about 7,500 men in the second division, and their good marching and fine military hearing was praised on all sides. Gov. Patterson, of Pennsylvania, road at the head of the division, and he and the Pres ident exchanged salutes. Geo Kitz Hugh Lee, commanding the third division, received an ovation from the crowd in and around the President’s stand. He bowed to the President, and the latter raised his hat in return. A gap between the third and fourth divis ions gave the surging mass of humanity around the President’s stand an opportunity to close in again and obstruct the line of march. The police not being able to keep flie street clear, a detachment of regular troops were sent to their assistance. The united efforts of the soldiers and police only sufficed to make a narrow passageway through the dense throng, and the various organizations which followed passed in review under this disad vantage The fourth and last division, which was composed entirely of civic organizations, was commanded by Major Thus. J. Suttrell The Tammany men, who numbered 1000, carried silver headed sticks at the shoulder. They were followed by the Tammany Knick erbockers, in their quaint, ancient costumes, carrying long staves, with which they beat machinery time on the asphalt pavement. Irving Hall was represented by about 100 gentlemen, all wearing silk hats and spring overcoats and carrying canes. Gilmore's Band heralded the approach of the County Democracy long before they were visible. Fifteen hundred men in light, grey overcoats and silk hats, carrying canes with Cleveland's head wrought in silver,and wear ing purple and gold badges on the lapels of their coats, represented this branch of the New York democracy. Some comment was excited by the appear ance in the procession of the Blaine Inaugu ration Club of Maine. Taken all in all. as a combined military and civic display, the procession was un doubtedly one of the largest and finest ever seen in Washington. The number of men who marched past the President’s stand is estimated at 25,1X10. Vice President Hendricks felt somewhat fatigued anil retired to the executive mansion for rest before all tbe civic organizations had passed. At the conclusion of the review the Presi dent and party proceeded to the dining-room of the White House, where they partook of a lunch prepared for them by ex-President Arthur. There were present, besides the oiembers of ex-President Arthur’s cabinet, Messrs. Viles. Manning, and several others. I he riieworka. The public celebration ot the day ended with a display of fireworks. In character it was like all displayes of fireworks, but in volume and variety it is said to have excelled any former pyrotechnial exhibition upon this continent. Withall. it was successful to the minutest detail. The scene of the exhibition was a lot of two or three hundred acres, slop ing gently awav from the south fronts of the treasury, executive mansion and State de partments. The night was clear, and im mense crowds found their way to the spot. When the preparations were completed and the display had once begun the people in charge had the good taste to leave no inter.

It glared for a j minute in full brilliancy; then, in the twink- j ling of an eye, went out with an explosion, i he largest piece represented the National* Capital, with excellent portraits of the Pres. ulent and Vice President, flanked by motoes and emblems. This piece was 160 feel long 1 by 75 in height. i he Inaugural HhII. 1 he brilliant finale of toe inauguration was a ball tonight. It put a tap sheaf of gaiety on the more formal and serious, though grand ceremonial which preceded it. Beauty lent its aid to crown the triumph of the incoming administration, and amid the light festivities of the ball room the celebra tion of the day came to a close. The ball was held in the unfinished new pension build ing, an immense structure enclosing a rec tangular court yard more than 300 feet long and over 100 feet in w idth. As the door opens on the interior the eye is dazzled by a sudden blaze of light and color, and the mind confused by the immensity of the scene revealed to it. The hall is 31t> ft long by 111! It. wide, lighted by sixty siemens gas burners of 500 candle power each, which are suspended from the roof, whose peak is lost to sight 90 feet above the floor in a per* feet forest of streamers and flags, on whose acre of waved floor several thousand couples in brilliant toilets are moving about in the mazes of the dance, while thousands more circle on the outskirts in ceaseless promen ade, and other thousands look down on them from tlie surrounding balconies It is a grand framework ol an ensemble, which, bursting suddenly upon one’s view, is mag nificent ly bewildering In this vast space hardly a foot of the rough unfinished interior remains exposed. The decorations cover the whole interior w ith tqe exception of the roof, and this is almost hidden bv the net work of streamers, flags and hunting. All is brilliant coloring, in which red, white and blue tints of the Amer ican flag predominate, but are toned down hy the contrasting dark green of natural gar lands, hung in festoons, and of the foliage of tropical plants, which arc hooked about tin' support* of the roof and in the corners ot the hall, and arc blended with rich dark hue* of velvet hangings and glossy sheen of silk damask draperies. The wealth of color is relieved against a background of pure white muslin, and is blended into a harmony of softness under the diltused light of the lamps, which hang from the roof like great globes of fire. The entire scene forms a brilliant setting for the rich toilets of tin* dancers and promcnaders ami the ever changing pano rama on tlie floor. The richest part of the decoration in tlie hall room is on the front of the balcony along the entire length around the hull room There is stretched on this balcony a deed band of maroon velvet, two yards wide, and heavily embroidered for half its depth with gold thread in elegar.t design This velvet was made in Lyons, France, ami was import ed for the spicial purpose of this decoration, and its deep, rieli coloring is the harmonizing tone of the whole mass ot color. Tlie back ground of this balcony is tricolored bunting, with which the walls are liung. The rooms si t apart by the committee for tlie use of the President have been decorated lavishly. There are two of these rooms, one of which is a reception room and the oilier for the private use of the President The latter is beautifully fitted up with s ift ear pets and rugs, and turniinre in ebony and gold. It is hung with paintings ami rich studs anil garlanded with flowers and siniiax, while silk banner* and streamers abound on tlie walls. Tlie arrangements for the ball w-ere made on a most extensive scale. Commodious and easily accessible toilet and cloak rooms were provided, and hy dividing the floor into sec tions, eaeli in charge of an experienced floor manager with a corps of assistant*, and all communicating hy electric bells with tlie section in which the principal floor managers were stationed, tlie keeping ot good order was assured. A promenade concert opened the festivities of the evening, and was continued from 8 to II o’clock, during which time the President held his levee in the reception room. Danc ing began at 11 o'clock. Music was furn ished hy the Germania orchestra of Philadel phia. It was half past 10 when the President arrived at the hall room. He was immedi ately escorted to the President’s rooms, where for half an hour he held an informal recep tion, the members of the reception committee and a small number of distinguished persons being presented to him. The President was accompanied hy Miss Cleveland and Mrs. Hoyt, his sisters, and by his brother, Kcv. W. N. Cleveland, and wife, and their two sons, Mr. Hastings, his nephew, Mi is, decorations and lights were prorni netn teaturcs of the scene. The President, after making a tour of the hall room, returned to the reception room, but at 11.30. he and his party, and Hendricks and his party left tlie building. Member* ot tiie committee estimate the number ufjticketa sold at about 12,000. The Topeka and Kansas parade club attracted much attention. At two o’clock the ball was still in pro gress and the festivities show no abatement. SPARKS. The Minnesota legislature Wednesday, passed unanimously a concurrent resolution to telegraph congratulations of the legislation of Minnesota to President Cleveland. The Arkansas legislature, Wednesday, unanimously passed a bill changing the name of Dorsey county to Cleveland county in honor of President Cleveland. The county was originally named for 8. W. Dorsey. FORTY-KItiHTH Second SomIou. SK9ATK. Wamux«tof, March 4 Mr. Dawes submitted a new conference report on the fortification bill, showing an adjustment of all differences. On motion of Mr. Hale, the Senate passed the bill to pav Wm. I homas of Portland, Me., $301) tor 1'. S. coupons lost by him. On tu ition of Mr. Pendleton the Umi«e bill tor the return of the Chinese indemnity fund w as taken up and passed without debate. On motion of Mr. Mitchell the Senate then proceeded tmeonsidor the House pension lolls favorably reported from the Senate com mittee. The Senate passed the House bilfto amend the section of the revised statutes so as to allow appeals to the V S. supreme court in habeas corpus cases. A joint resolution submitted by Mr. Al drich w as passed, requesting the President to enter into negotiations with the States of the Latin Union and other foreign powers, with a view to securing an agreement for the tree coinage of silver, with full legal tender power at such uniform ratio to gold as shall be agreed upon. On motion of Mr. I*ugh. the House joint resolution was passed providing Lira military board to examine the claim of Dr. John B. Heed against the United States for the alleged use of an invention of his in projectiles. At 2 50 A. M. the consideration ot the river and hurbor bill was resumed. The committee amendment increasing the amount of the appropriation from five to ten million dollars was agreed to. The remain ing amendments were agreed to. The Senate receded on this. A message from the House announced agreement on the pnstntttee hill on every point except that relating to the special ten cent stamp for letters requiring special expe dition in delivering. The Senate insisted on its amendments to the legislative, executive and judicial lulls, ami conferees were appointed The Senate resumed consideration ot the river ami harbor hill. Mr. Hale submitted a final conference re port on the deficiency hill with the difference adjusted At 7.15 the Senate went into executive ses sion At 7.40 the doors were reopened. The Senate then took an informal recess from A to lb.'10, during which time the chamber w as prepared for the inaugural. The Senate adjourned immediately on its return from the platform: therefore there will he no cabinet nominations today. IIOI1MK. Mr. Townshend stated that it seemed al most impossible that the conference commit tee came to anv agreement upon the elause relating to the ece hi nihil service. Mr. Holman, of Indiana, made a vigorous protest against tin Senate amendment. He argued ngainst the principle of subsidies and appealed to the democratie side to stand by the House conferees. Mr. Ilorr made an equally vigorous speech on the other side of the question. Mr. Kllis, of Louisiana, supported the Sen ate amendment. The party whip, lie said, as wielded by the gentleman from Indiana, Mr. Holman, had no terrors for him, for he remembered that the old democratic leaders were opposed to the policy of the latter kind of democrats, who had no eyes for anything except a niggardly so-called economy. Finally Mr. Ilorr moved that the House recede irom it-* disagreement to the Senate amendment, lb s wa* agreed to; yeas, 100, nays XX.

gaUwt ^etmebec Journat. Augusta. Thursday Morning, Mar. 5. President Cleveland to-day. Remember the republican caucus to night to nominate a candidate for Mayor. City Marshal Farrington has feathered his nest well while playing the role of a reformer. An increase in rum-shops, an increase in the rate ot taxation, and the passage by the legislature of the snow-shovel order are some of the fruits of the manage ment of city affairs under Mayor White house and reform. Attend the Caucus. The republican caucus to nominate a candidate for Mayor will be held at Me onian Hall this evening. We trust it will be a ronser. Every republican who can should attend in person and take part in the proceedings. The caucus is the prop er place for a free and unlimited expres sion of choice as to a candidate. No citi zen should regard it as incompatible with his dignity'to meet his fellow men on the same level at the caucus to take measures for the public good. It is important to have the best and strongest nomination that can be made, so that it will bring oat a fall republican vote next Monday and secure a Mayor for the coming year whose promises will be made good in an econom ical. wise, honorable administration that will redound to the peace, prosperity and good name ot the city. The Inaugural The Inaugural address of President Cleveland, found on the first page of the Journal to-day. will not inspire those who read it with a feeling of profound respect for the President recently inaugurated His most devoted followers and supporters must peruse it with chagrin and disap pointment. There are a few platitudes about the Constitution and the common duties of citizenship, but outside of these, with tiie exception of a declaration tn fay or if eivil service reform, there is a barrenness of ideas that is absolutely sur prising. If we understand the President he is not iu favor ot bestowing offices niton his fol lowers as rewards for political service. He takes the ground upon which the mug wumps statu I rather than that upon which the old line democracy have planted them selves. If he means what he says there has been a great deal of labor among his democratic friends in arranging slates, par titioning offices, and circulating petitions which will be utterly useless to advance their claims lot office. If business merit, capacity and honesty are alone to be the rule in regard to gaining and retaining office, then the present incumbents of places who have been Irietl and found faithful and have experience and training in the. duties they are called upon to per form will hold their places in spite of pe titions, be they ever so numerously signed, of democrats seeking to displace them. But let no one he too certain in his own mind what the President will do. When he comes to act wc shall know how tar his words declare his sentiments and inten tions. Certainly his inaugural is not cal culated to promote democratic cheerful ness. Itnte ot Taxation An Increase the Present Year —Last Year the Bate was Twenty-one Dol lars on a Thousand —This Year it is Twenty-two and a iialk Dollars on a Thousand.—The Cause for ruts In crease.—Pacts for Every Tax-payer to Consider. “If w« are interested In the future of our city, we ought gradually hut surely to reduce our debt an t «o our rate of taxation." Mayor WflUehvHlt'* Ait. 4run. There have been so many wild and extrav gant assertions by the New Age, of the great reduction and consequent saving in all the departments of the present city government, that it is but simple justice to all concerned, that whenever ami wherever an honest com parison can be made, it should be done, so that if the claims made be true, they should be sustained, and if false they should be ex posed. Among the earliest fruits ot the present government, was to raise the rate of taxation from twenty-one dollars on a thou sand last year to twenty-two and a half dol lars on a thousand this year; an increase in the rate of one and a half mills. This result was a surprise to the tax-payers, after so much had been promised. They were told, in explanation, that taxes were necessarily made hittlier. by the extravagance of the government of last year and the large amount of unpaid hills "lapping over" for them to pay this year. This statement, of course, was. and is, wholly and ahsolutely faise. *s it had nothing whatever to do with increasing the rate. I lie abatement ot the M wards t o s prop erly, was a loss that would necessarily raise the rate to some extent, though not more than half the increase of the present year. The only other cause which forced the rate up to where it is—and will surely carry it still higher in the future—under like nianag mem— we will here demonstrate by facts and figures which cannot be truthfully assailed or de nied. The assessors heretofore have always succeeded in finding property so as to in crease the valuation over the previous year. While the increase lias not- been large it has been sure and steady, ranging from $;il),000 to 875 000, over and above any and alt losses. To illustrate: The assessors of last year found an amount greater than the year be fore, of 800,000 in round numbers, while the assessors of this year, instead of increasing the valuation of last year, by finding more property than the year before, sustained a loss of over 840,000. This is not io the classic language of the New Age a "lap over" but a "lap under," and a very serious one.for if you reckon the amount of increase they ought to have made over last year’s valuation with the sum of the decrease, it makes the amount so large that the rate is at once materi ally raised to supply the loss sustained. Now if this condition was the result of natural causes, it would intricate a very serious con dition of the city's future, as it would indi cate its decay rather than its advancement and growth We do not believe the city is on the down bill grade, as the above result would seem to indicate, but that it is gradually increasing in wealth slowly but surely. Any citizen who may have any doubt about the correct Mi ness of this statement is requested to make an examination of the records, and find the facts and conclusions here stated, fully sus tained Tax payers, “you pay your money and you take your choice.”Tepth.

MrWhiof-1 Wa> 9tated in tbe cal1 that Mr Whitehouse was to be here this evening and make a statement. K ,rJ'he Mayor who was in the audience,finally ,.H“ T0ice wa9 weak and it was ith difficulty that he could make himself heard in all part, of the ball He started out with a statement ol the humble beginning in back rooms and secret places of the movement winch he represented. After paving his respects to the Journal and “those who lied about us he wnded into figures and went through the citv finances from their begin ning- He made out a slender saving in the aflairs of the city, showing his figures in the best light possible. He omitted to state, however, that the rate of taxation had increased U mills on the dol lar during his administration, left the city mar shal and his increase of salary severely alone and dodged the temperance question. Having completed hi, financial manifesto, the mayor reviewed the snow blockade and the legislative snow shovel brigade, while the Kennebec Journal again came in for a share of his attention. I have been watched, be said, continually. I took the mayorshio against my own will. That it is an honor, I do not deny. I did not take it for the honor, hut for the purpose of administering the financial affairs of the city. Mr. Whitehouse had a good word for the New Age, and said it would hardly do to tell that paper to mind its own business. He annou iced that he would have his figures all printed for distri bution before Saturday night. At ihe conclusion of the Mayor's address, the cry of “Bangs, Bangs. Bangs,” rent the air anil the gentleman ol that name in the au dienee serenely mounted the platform.! He made a large amount of loud talk, but ready said little of any consequence The j chief point he made was in regard to his de- i feat by Farrington last spring. He related bow he watched that officer for a long time after his election, and was now his fast friend. Mr. Bangs did not close without a word for the Kennebec Journal and the man who rep resented it. On motion of 1*. 0. Dotliver, Seth 0. Whitehouse was nominated as the candidate of the caucus fo> mayor. In the closing ct Mr. Whitehouse and the Kennebec Journal figured prominently. Mis Honor mounted the platform and stated that the Journal had misquoted the si3,000 loan order. That sheet, he said, hud been throt tled last year, but within three days had been let loose. Adjourned. A 7. Now,during the same period of the previous republican administration the fees of the marshal were but 81094.14.showing an increase for the eight months of police government under the ring, of 8144.83. A proportional gain for the remaining four months will give a total increase of Farring ton's fees of $217 24 over the preceding year. Thus, instead of a saving “of from two to three thousand dollars," an additional ex pense is made, to be paid out of the pockets of our citizens. How do our tax-payers relish this Isn't it high time that the police department was run on some other basis than that of a money-making institu tion? Pronounced a Lie. Twenty thousand dollars saved in the ad ministration of city affairs. This was the flaming heading which a)> peared on a bill containing a call for a citi zens' caucus, recently issued from the New Age office. A handful of the bills were dis tributed, but before many had gone out there was a council of the faithful, and one of the bills was produced. “That will never answer," exclaimed one of the wiser ones. “We can’t make the people believe a lie." Another member made the same talk, and finally the sentiment against the #20,000 clause was so strong that the entire bill was tabooed, and those distributed hurriedly gathered up and put out of sight The call which did appear was substituted. Margaret Mather To..\’lght The charming actress. Miss Margaret Mather, who on former occasions so cap tivated Augusta audiences, will appear in Granite Hall to-night, as Juliana in “The Honeymoon." A large house has been sold and our people will expect a dramatical en tertainment of no ordinary merit. That they will not be disappointed, the flattering notices which Miss Mather has received through the press, and the crowded houses which have greeted her appearance, attest. Add attoo. Ed it o> Kenntbec Jout nal: In your issue of vesterday. you gave as the “entire remuneration of the marshal" the sum of #2,358 *5. To this sum should also be added the fees received by the marshal di rect from the municipal judge. In all cases settled before him. as all such fees never go into the countv treasury, but direct into the marshal’s pocket; and these settled cases embrace a pretty large proportion of all pros ecutions made, which would add to the sum vou give as his “entire remuneration” more than #500. Give the boy a chance. Reform. ULLOWELL. At the regular meeting of the city council Monday evening the following business was transacted. Records of last four meetings read and approved.

The Chair appointed on the committee of A Bank may fail, and yet, by wise management, regain its credit. So, also, if wise counsels are followed, the strength and vigor of a failing constitution may be restored. Many eases like the following could be cited: Frank Laprise, Salem st., Lowell, Mass., says, that on account of impure blood, his whole constitution was shaken. After taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla freely for a month, hi3 health was restored, and his ori ginal vigor regained. Speculation as to what will cure Dyspepsia, vanishes b cue the light of such evidence as that furnished by O. T. Adams, Spencer, O., who says: For years I suffered acutely from Dyspepsia, scarcely taking a meal, until within the last few months, with out enduring the most distressing pains of Indigestion. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla saved my life. My appetite and digestion are good, and 1 feel like a new man.” Two bottles of Failure to get the best remedy at the outset, in volves, in case of sickness, not only a waste of money, hut useless suffering.

X tried several other so-called sarsaparillas,’ hut re ceived no benefit from them.” William II. Mulvin, 122 Northampton st.. Boston. Mass., writes that The Cause of all his sufferings, “enough to kill a dozen men,” was the failure of his kidneys and liver to properly perform their func tions. He was permanently cured by using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Mrs. George Edwards, Boston Highlands, Mass., was cured of liver and bilious troubles by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Warren Leland, the famous iioiel proprietor of New York city, writes: I have person ally used Ayer’s Sar Ayers Sarsaparilla saparilla cured me of Dyspepsia,” writes Evan Jones, Nelson, N. Y. Mrs. A. 31. Beacli, Glover, Vt., writes: “A humor of the hlood debilitated me, and eaused very troublesome scrofulous bunches on my neck. Less than one bottle of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has restored my appetite and s'rength. It bus also greatly lessened the s wellings.

When we say that thousands have been cured by Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup we tell the whole truth. The use of Iodoform or mercurials in the treatment of catarrh—whether in the form of suppositories or ointments—should be avoided j as they are both injurious and dangerous. Iodoform is easily detected by its offensive odor. The only reliable catarrh reined/on the market to-day is Ely’s Cream Balm.being free from all poisonous drugs.
