Grover Cleveland closes hi's second term as President to-day, and William McKinley assumes the duties of that office, The new President will find an abundance of important business on his hands, including the Arbitra tion treaty with England, and the impending difficulty with Spain arising out of the Cuban situation. Besides this, he must give the country a speedy return to a prosperous business era in order to redeem the promises of his party made before the election. The boom in trade that was predicted to follow his election has not come, and the people are becoming impatient. THE NEW PRESIDENT ON HAND. Will Take Hold of the Government To-day. Roini Washington is packed with visitors from every section of the country to attend the inauguration. Trains on all the railroads have been delayed by the immense traffic. No one can tell whether'the arriv ing train is the Limited express of yesterday or ot the day before. The streets are already thronged with visitors ; hundreds of "fakirs" who make their living, no one knows how, and who appear and disappear on occasions of this sort with equal mys tery, are peddling their McKinley and Hobart badges and other trinkets with noisy pertinacity. Electrical illumination designs make the streets a blaze of light. All the theaters are crowded, but the greatest show of all, the capitol, with both houses of congress in night sess ion and no charge for admission, was the chief attraction. The public gal leries were packed and the corridors were rendered almost impassable by people waiting their turns to take the places of those who left. McElNLEY LEAVES HOME- Greeted by Thousands at Canton as he Left That Place for the National Capitol. The president-elect left Canton at 7 o'clock Monday evening. The citi zens, together with business men had arranged lor a great public demonstra tion to bid farewell to their honored citizen and neighbor. The local militia joined in the demonstration, and headed by the famous Grand Army band marched to the McKinley home. All along the route to the depot, which was about a mile, the streets were jammed with people. Cheer after cheer was given them ana many women were astheDresident-eWsrarriaa. ,Wn bv four nrhlv rW. -j ... 1,,.. KUIIV horses passed alontr. t - I The space about the station was packed tor squares by people who Rtrngeied ineffectually to get near the train, which was guarded by the com panies of militia. As the President elect and Mrs. McKinley stepped upon the rear platform of their car the shouts and cheers of the people aeain arose, faior MrKinUv coated his wife just inside' the door and step- ped upon the rlatform. The cheerins was repeated, but ouicklv ceased as the president-elect raised his hand, a y His words were : "My Neighbors and Friends and Fellow Citizens On the eve of de parture to the seat of government, soorsjto assume the duties of an ardu ous responsibility, as great as can de volve upon any man, nothing could give me greater pleasure than this larewell greeting tins evidence of your friendship and sympathy j your good will, and I am sure the prayers 01 an me people with whom I have lived so long and whose confidence and esteem are dearer to me than any other earthly honors. To all of us the future is a sealed book 5 but, if I cau by official act or administration, or utterance in any degree add to the prosperity of our beloved country. and the comtort and well being of our spienaia citizenship, I will devote the best and most useful efforts of my me. ioua ana continuous applause and cries of 'We know you will, Major.) "The assumption of the chief magis trate is of such grave importance that partisanship cannot blind the judg ment or accept any other considera tions but for the public good of all to every party and every section. With this thought uppermost in my mind. . I reluctantly take leave of my friends and my neighbors, cherishing in my opinion is against the ex Commission heart the sweetest memories and the ; ers and says in part : tenderest thoughts of my old home The board bought plans to build a my home now and I trust my home ! new Court House. They bought hereatter, so long as I live. (Tremen- I plans for the building before they had dous applause.) the wai right lo g0 ahCad and build "I thank you and bid you all good-1 it. bye." When he concluded there was a frantic effort to reach Major lc Kinley but the train was signalled to start. As it moved out of the station I the rain which had been threatened all evening began to fall a fitting benediction to the larewell scenes which had just been enacted. The Dual Character of Spain. The following general statement has been handed to a press correspondent at Havana by Consul General Lee, with the request that it be circulated as widely as possible : Neither our flag or younc American wo men have ever been insulted here. On the contrary, I have always found the Spaniards courteous and polite to all Americans, ns well as to every one else. This statement chimes with the opinion of everybody who has ever come in contact with educated Span iards. A braver and more chivalrous nation than the Spanish people does not exist on the face of the earth : and a Spanish gentleman is the pink of courtesy. When the brawling Jin goes in the Senate refer to the Span iards as the "Turks of the West" or as a disgrace to civilization they speak either ignorantly or maliciously. The Spaniard at home enjoys all the liber ties characteristic of a modern liberal commonwealth, including a representa tive Parliament, universal suffrage, trial by jury and an absolutely free press. In view of these facts the con duct of Spain toward her colonies. and particularly toward her Cuban kindred, becomes well-nigh inexplica ble. Spain in her dual character as an enlightened nation at home and in her relations with other Powers, and as a monstrous oppressor in her colonies, has been aptly compared to a gentleman of unimpeachable man ners and refined education whose shoulders should be surmounted by three heads bearing six pairs of horns. If such a person should happen to dop in for dinner we would probably be in a quandary whether to invite him to a seat because his good breed ing and intelligence entitled him to communion with men, or whether to kick him downstairs because of his horrid aspect. If Spain were simply a three-headed monster without either qualifications, and if the Spaniards were, indeed, the "Turks of the West," our course of action in Cuba would be very much simplified. Record. How Deficits Are Created. The appropriation of sixty million dollars by the Fifty-fourth Congress in excess of the amount of appropriations by the Fifty-third Congress ought to be an eye opener for the people of the United States. There are two ways of creating de ficits. One way is to cut down revenue below the amount of ordinary expendi ture ; the other way is to make extra ordinary appropriations without pro viding extraordinary revenue to meet them. The burdens laid upon pro ductive industry in the United States are exhaustive. Within the past forty years the per capita cost of the ordi- nary running expenses of the Govern. rnent has more than trebled. Yet the . . f it . ir ,f . . . . . . ursi act 01 tne fticjviniey Aoministra- ,., .,.n ka ..11 r a.1 . uc "cuicr ,n extra sess'on not t0 Pare down Pcnifs 10 ine measure 01 revenue, LUt IV UA 1UI UIC UUUU1C purpose ot putting more money in the public treasury and more money in the private treasuries of favored in dividuals and corporations. When the opponents of fruzal government go about the country Pratin& of.the deficit occasioned by e operation of our present revenue laws the taxpayer should shake the record of Billion Dollar Congresses in their faces. Lvery day for the next two years it will require the payment of over one and one-half million dol lars to meet the outlay authorized by the Congress that will wind ud its work to morrow. ine new congress ana new Administration, chosen by the people when the nation was griped by indus trial and commercial distress, will be asked to remedy the condition of affairs by giving another harder pull at the purse-strings of the taxpayer, This is a procedure hardly less in effective and stupid than trying to put out a conflagration by sqiiirtine oil upon it. Record. Ex Commissioners Must Pay. Luzorns County Officials Spent $ 19,000 on Plant for a Building They Had No Legal Authority to Erect. . Wilkesbarre, March 1. Judge Bennett to-day handed down an opinion to the appeal of the ex- count) Commissioners, P. T. Norton, Thomas Smith and T. M. Dullad. from the report of the late Board of County Auditors surcharging the ex commissioners with the $10,000 paid Architect Meyers, of Detroit The Then the court stepped in and forbade them to build it i then the Commissioners had a set of useless plans, which cost the tax payers $10, 000, on their hands."
