THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1S97.
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

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

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

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
