President Ilarrlson's Inaugural address Is a straightforward temperate state paper. It Is chiefly nolablo for the absence of In dividual forcefulness and of positive or ae gresslre assertion, but It Is equally remark able aa'a Presidential dollretance that studt onsly avolds offense to any honest contlct Ions. Indeed, bad Cleveland been re-elected he could have delivered Harrison's, lnaug-1 ural address without criticism from his Democratic supporters. On the vital tariff, tax and surplus ques tions, he simply repeats Cleve!and!a uttor ance In nencral terms, excepting only that Harrison makes protection a more promi nent feature of his revenue faltb, while Cleveland maintained the protection of la bor as an Indispensable Incident of our tariff policy; but Cleveland could fulfil every promise of Harrison's inaugural in entire consistency with his policy that was appa rently condemned by his defeat. On tbe impoVtant question of civil service reform tbe declarations of Harrison are all that could be asked of btm and tbey bear cverv mark of sincerity. Unless he does not mean wbal he says, which Is not to be as sumed, he gives a plain admonition to party expectants that the "clean-sweep" policy is not to be accepted by his admlnstration. He is honest enough to say that party services shall not be an, obstacle to administration fayor, but he distinctly declares that' the efficiency and integrity of the public service mutk be paramount. He does not deal with the question In glltternlng platitudes, but he emphasizes his pledge not only to enforce the civil seryice law In Its letter and spirit, but expresses the confident hope that his civil service referm sball transcend the man dates of the law. There will be hearty accord throughout the whole country with his temperate and sensible expressions as to our forelgh policy He could have been more explicit In his re ference to the Samoa difficulty, but he cover's every feature of the controversy and obvious ly meant to be clearly understood as to the rights and duties of our government. Re duced Into somewhat plainer English, the President gives notice that our rights in Samoa are to be fully maintained and that Germany will be commanded te halt th moment that she attempts to' usurp author ItJ. The questions of the surplus, of peaslons, of commerce and of honest elections are all treated very .temperately from general stand points , and they may be Interpreted to mean much or little. The one fealnre of the ad dress on all these points is the absence of in clslve or aggressive arraignment or remedy ; but as this feature prevails throughout tbe message from the first to the last line there is little room for criticism from any source. The keynote of the whole paper seems to be given In the sentence "Let us exalt patrl otlsm and moderate our party contentions," and there will be little disposition to com plain of the address by any party, unless the expectants and spoilsmen sball confess to disappointment. Uullko most inaugural addresses, the ad dress of President Harrison leaves much to cenjeeture as to the general features of his public policy. It has none of tbe assertive tone that many predicted and feared; there nothing in it that foreshadows a personal policy on any Issue; and the ouly apprehen sion that Is likely to be cherished is that there may be a lack of the Individual force that is Indispensable to any successful ad ministration. But conjecture on that point is needless at this time. So far as President Harrison has expressed bis view of Execu tlve duties, he has made bis deliverance as free from objections as any like address that has ever come to the American people. and it is fatr that he should be commended aud sustained so long as be shall sustaia the fairly Interpreted pledges of his lnaug nral. He starts well; let him be faithful to himself. Phlta. Times. THE HEW CABINET. The Harrison Cabinet stands ae follows: State James Q. Blaine, Maine. Treasury William Wlndom, Minnesota. War Redfleld Proctor, Vermont. Kavy- -Benjamin F. Tracy, New York. Interior John IF. Noble. Missouri. Post Office John Wanamaker, Penn. Atty. General W. H.H. Jllller, Indiana, Agriculture Jere. Rask, Wisconsin. The cases of the negligent em ployeee who caused the fatal Mud Run acci dent en the sixth of October will be called at eleven o'clock on Monday morning of next week, owing to the fact that tbe new county officers are to be sworn in and tbe consequent difficulty, in important eases, of filling the jury box. But no mat ter when the cases are called the trials will abound with Interest and the court house Is likely to be crowded with persons anxious as to the result. Some person or persons are guilty of grass negligence In the fright ful disaster, and It Is safe to say in tbe face of tbe positive character of the prosecatlon that nothing will be left undone to mete out justice to these who are guilty. Sick enlng accidents of the Mud Run kind have become of such frequent occurrence during the past few years that duty calls for the punishment of those who, neglectful of the rules and regulations of railroads, are re sponsible for tbe loss of life and ptoptrty, In adjoining counties people inter ested one way or another have commenced organizing. In ticbuj lklll, Luzerne, Lack awanna and tbe western counties those who favor tbe passage of tbe prohibition amend ment have organized themselves into soci etles and are distributing tracts, maklnc speeches, fcc. in its fayor. This has awak ened the liquor men to their danger and they have gone to work with determination to undo whatever the "drys" have effect d. No action, whatever, has been taken In Carbon county by either party, and it not at all likely that a spirited fight will be made. The majority against local option was so great a few years ago that tbe liquor men are inspired with confidence and tb temperance men feel dubious, perhaps which accounts for the lack of organization and the apparent disinterestedness of all, Un. Gladstone's cheat speech arraignment of the Irish policy of the En gllsh government sounds like a trumpet call to battle. Its logic is unanswerable Its array ot facts pitiless and Inexorable, and Its predictions of a coming doom so strongly in keeping with the evident trend of events that we may well feel that, like tbe Highland wizard, the sunset of life bac given tbe crea. statesman mystical lore, Phila. .Record. All over the country subscription lists are being raised to help on this patriotic fight against tbe oppression and domineering rule of British powers. May the contest el be without ite good results to tbe dowa AsoJMa save t the JburaM Ulci Ir u N0W PBB8IDnj''r BsfAiim HAH- rIlon T9t Ui trust.tuat the four joars of I his administration will be as eminently I 4iiiwiftil lili nreileeessor'a. Benlamln I Harden Is of a strong, stubborn nature; If he can resist the Insinuating arguments of the great leaders of his party as success- fully as did President Cleveland, he will make a record far hltaself that may not give blm a re-election, but it will live In history as will the record of Cleveland- staunch, reliable, fearless and honest to the whole people. What more should a great man desire? Tun G. A. R. is hot x political organization, yet In open disregard of this fact some of Its members use or attempt to use the order as a means of political prefer meut. Tbe latest attempts, probably, are those now being made by certain individ uals to get Into or hold, office under tbo new administration. Dlank petitions, set ting forth that the applicant is a Grand Army man In good standing are being sent to Posts throughout Pennsylvania asking for signatures. There is only one way to treat such applications, viz: drop them Into the waste basket. Till DECISIOH IIAItDED DOWN BY JUDGE Albright, of Lehigh county, that constables were entitled to a fee and mileage for visit ing saloons and hotels, as per the new high license law. has been reversed by tbe Supreme Court. Tbe law Is an imposition upon constables to say the least, and to remedy tbe evil Mr. Hmnlngcr has Intre duced into the Senate a bill providing a fee of fifty cents and mileage for tbe extra work, lmvosed. Tbo bill should becouio a law by all means, elaborate argument Is not necessary to convince that tbe consta bles are legitimately entitled to compensa tion for dntles performed for tbo benefit of the public. It is intemcstino to observb the superlative gall with which the editor of the Gazette assails so thoroughly an lnde pendent, bright and newsy a paper as tbe Carbon Advocate. An elaborate argu ment Is not worthy of Brother Obedlah Slgley, neither the accusation that the Car bon Advocate Is a "bread and butter" machine. Unmortgaged to class, ring or clique, free and Independent in expresslen, the Caiiboh Advocate sends ferth Its radiating rays with sufficient force to make a complete shadow of the lew attempt at journalism called the Mauch Chunk Coal Gaxett. What more Is necessary? Those who know both papers answer, nothing! A KEPUBLICAN TRIBUTB. As President Cleveland paste from public to private life, it is but the merest juitice for men of all parties to cordially concede that his administration, though not free from errors of judgement, has been one honbrable t him and creditable to his country. His discharge of dutv has been faithful, his conduct honest and patriotic. his industry and zeal unqucstianed and un questionable, his courage too great for his success. During his entire term of office neither bis personal nor official Integrity has been impunged; bis conduct of affairs, foreign and domsstlc, has been conserva tive, safe and has resulted In the common prosperity of tbe country. Presldeat Cleve land retires from his high office worthy the continued lespect and confidence of the people whom for four years he has so faith fully, devotedly served, and we do not doubt that In the coming years the general re spect of his countrymen for his courageous and upright administration of the affairs of the government will Increase, and that Into his retirement he will be followed by the grateful sense of their appreciation of all the good he has, with high conscience and patriotic purposes, wrought In their behalf. Philadelphia Ledger. BROADBRIM'S 1 1 LETTER. BROADBRIM BISCOUltSKTJI ON doos So you are an aristocrat, ehf Perhaps I am, sir, if that Is what you call It. Well, you believe In blood and pedigree, don't you? Yes, sir, honestly followed to their just conclusions, every time. Came, stroll tth me through these aisles; let us look Into these kennels and see what we can find. Nothing but dogs; that's all, but honest dogs, believe me. There are two exhibitions held here every year that al ways afford me especial pleasure. The Dog Show and the Horse Show, whatever man has to do with them, Is on the side of elevation and honesty. He debases aid degrades himself oftentimes, but, here, whatever work he does Is of the honestest and the best. Neyer mind the crowd, sou can see them every day In the theatres, on the streets, and in the churches. You don't want to know tbelr pedigree. Per haps it is as well that you do not. "Flue feathers make floe birds." Do they? Well, let tbe fine birds pass. Lei us look at the dogs. H'bat haye we here? Out from beneath a richly worked covering of velvet peeps a pair of soft-melting ees embroider ed bv two long silken ears, and tbe sorrow ful look of tbe little prisoner is occasional ly softened by tbe presence of mo ladv'e lacquey whe stands by the cage with solemn visage to guard me lady's darling Tbe whole ef this class talis of birth and high breeding. These pampered little aristocrats could only live in the mansions of the great. They would die In the hemes of the poor. But the strain of blood In this miniature nobleman Is pure as tbe mountain snow. He Is simply ornamental. So far as practical use Is concerned, he Is of no use whatever. He will not work for himself; If compelled to get his own liv ing he would starve to death. Somebody else must work for him. So far, he rises to the highest ideal of the modern gentle. man. Den't laugh, my friend, this class of gentlemen is just as necessary as many other necessary evils. Let us walk on Ah, here is something that fills my heart with joy and brings .back tbe memory of long vanished years when, with just such a companion, barefooted and happr, I royed through the fields, scoured tbe woods or leaped Into tbe ponds and fougbt blm for a stick, or held on to his shaggy coat till he towed ma back to the shore. It's a good square honest face. As Hamlet says of the ghost's word: "I'd take It for a thousand pounds." Honesty and nobility were boru In him. He comes of a royal line back through countless generations, and vet withal1 he 1 the staunchest Re, publican or Democrat that ever walked on four feet. You never find blm Imposing on bis weaker brother. Little dogs bark at his heels, but Ihey never disturb the sub lime serenity ot that majestic temper. Yes, beta is a fit companion for an honest man Tbe class of St. Bernards Is a noble one, and many of the Kussian dogs, houpds, mastiffs and others were worthy of especial mention Harriers, terriers, beagles, fox- lounds, collies aud bull dogs were there, every class bavin Us own esoecial merit. A It takei all writ of peopl to mak world a It takea all aorta of dogs to maka do sboir. Are there no dlsrepntabU dojsf you ask, Ob, yes, plenty of them Wat lW aH iaksn. TL ektaln admission to this Sanhedrim a fellow must har pedlar at his back. Ho may ba a very dlsreputablo nobleman given to very naunhtv dolntri. but he must have bloed. Ab, what have we heref These, sir, are .fighters. Fighting Is with them a business and a pleasure. They are the John L, Sulllyani, aud Mike Dcmpseys, the Charley Mitchells and the Jake Kllrains of the kennel. Oh, pray don't turn ua yournose. Every one of these wiry little gentlemen comes of a very good family, I assure jou. That little bullet-headed tough oyer there is the hero of twenty battles. He has the same stuff In him that held Grant be fore Vlcksburg and Petersburg; tbe same spirit with which Custar swept dowm to death along the Indian line; the imperial courage that carried Pickett Into the last desperate charge at Gettysburg, or that held the "old guard" In the jaws of death on the field of Waterloo. They are not pretty, but that beetle-browed individual that stands beside them thinks there Is nothing half so beautiful In the world as bis battle-scarred pets. All New York turns out to greet the dogs. It Is the pro per thing to do. And now every fine lady who has anything worth looking at brings it to the dog show. Our horse shows and dog shows are no longer given ud to jockles and bullies. Society places on them the goldsmith's stamp, and everybody can go. The weather has been fine and tbe attendance great, and to a pel son who was posted it was .amusing to see the crowd. In one little knot around a magnificent Siberian bloodhound stood Lily Langtry, a couple of notorious prize fighters, a prominent actor, four English beauties from the Gaiety Com pany, a halt dozen celebrated ministers whose names are known all over the world, a couple of lawyers, four pickpockets, ,trd right behind them, looking like Innocent sightseers from the country, were two ef Chief Byrnes' detectives, one with a white choker and straight-breasted coat looking like a divinity student, and the other with a bread-brimmed hat and homespun suit with signs of hayseed all over htm. The attendance has beon Immense. The meshes tighten about Frank Eames who, by perjured witnesses, sought the ruin of his wife. His witnesses haye con' fessed their perjury, and both of them d clare that they were ruined by Eames Tbe advocates of the doctrine of total de, pravity have nere a most striking lllustra tion in support of their theory. For pure unmixed devilish wickedness, history or fiction furnishes few parallels, Only a few weeks ago I wrote the history of tbo unlucky corner of 231 Street and Sixth Avenue. Levi M. Bates, one of the most successful drygoods men In New York, bad just stepped in to saye Conklin fc Co., from ruin. Bates was worth n million. In a few months his paper went to pretest, then a syndicate was formed and $135,000 was raised to tide Mi. Bates over his disaster. For a few weeks the concern staggered along, but this week It closed its doors only U open them again for a bankrupt s ale. At least a half million dollars have been sank on that unlucky corner by the last occupant. It ruined Edwin Booth; it knocked spots out of Bouclcault; It almost sent the lucky Stet son of Boston to the wall ; It has completely ruined the wealthy Bates. Who will be tbe next victim? I should like to see Barnutr try it. If it floored him then I should certainly believe that the d 1 was In it A shocking outrage was perpetrated by a walklntr delegate of the Knights of Labor last week, the very thought ot which makes the blood of a freeman boll to' think that such things are tolerated In a fiee countrj. A funeral took place In Brooklyn on Tues day. The last prayer had been said and the last look ou tbe face of the beloved dead bad been taken and tbe coffin was deposited in the hearse. Tbe funeral pro cession was just about to start when a car rlage drove up having some friends of tbe family in it. This so-called walking del egate went np to the undertaker and In formed him that the- funeral procession could net start unless this carriage was driven from the line, as tbe driver was a non-union man. All tbe other drivers were In league with the walking delegate, and they refused to budge without his orders Threats and entreaties were alike In vain, this ignorant brute insisting on holding his fellow brutes from moving until the change was made. These so-called knights are furious if the are black-listed or prosecu ted, but they condemn to starvation aud persecution every man who refuses to join thslr unions or submit to tbelr arbitrary methods. The man who was driven from tbe seat on the carriage was an American, born on the soli, an honest man, recelviug full wages; a good driver, doing satisfactory work for tbe men who employed blm, and two-thirds of the ruffians who drove him away were ignorant foreigners who could not write their own name. Let it be known throughous tbe United States that Knights of Labor have fixed the penalty of death by slew starvation on all laboring men who will not join their order. This is a worse penalty than our criminal courts affix to the crime of murder. It remains to be seen If the people ot the United States will allow them to enforce the penalty. Lily Langtry retires from New York this week and takes tn the king's highway, ber venture In the city not proving pleasant or profitable. It is said that madam will Irave quite a number of ducats behind her that she earned In oilier places and more proi- perous tiroes, but the depletion of ber bank account will not seriously affect ber haDpl ness, as she still has enongb and to spare, It Is said what she lost in bard cash she has made in dramatic fameA Pertiaps so, but when the critic of the future pictures tbe ideal Thane of Cawdor's wife, the beaut! ful Llh Langtry vll not be in tbe frame. iter Lady Macbeth was showy but not Shakespearean. Wonderful to relate, Mrs. rotter's ven ture which all tbe prophets declared would be a disastrous failure, has turned out quite a financial success. Manager Palmer Is de lighted. She shifts the scene of her tri umphs from aristocratic 'Palmer's Theatre1 on Broadway (formerly Wallack's) to the democratic Opera House, which was the first theatrical venture of the lamented Jim Flsk, Jay Gould's erratic partner. Mrs, Potter has been treading Shakespearean ground. Her Cleopatra, while it has pro. duced no great dramatic sensation dramat ically, bas drawn the money all tbe same. and tue lady's bank account Is much re joiced thereat. It looks as though Denman Thompson had taken a life lease ot tbe old Academy of Music. Night after night the theatre Is filled from pit to dome, and at the Wednes day and Saturday matinees you can srarcely gat your nose inside. Country ministers, down here on church business, may possl bly miss a prayer meetln? or a vestry meet lug, but tbey all find time to est 'Tpe Old Homestead.'

Though I don't court any discussion of the matter, yet I feel constrained to state that I fall to see hew anybody can conclude that,because one of the candidates went back on bis word and on the convention by which be promised to abide, I would have done the same If I had received less votes than lie. Such reports can only emanate from those who were Interested in the treacherous work to offset their own action I deny all In timations and assertions of the kind.

Lehlgbton, March 0, 1889. Communication from Member of the Library Committee. A meeting of the Library Committeo was called by Mr. E. B. Lytt1e,Geh.Sec of the Lehigh Y. M. C. A. District, Mr. Rankin, Sec. of the Allentawn Y.M.C.A., and Mr. Gehman, delegate from Macungle, or? Mon day evening, Feb. 18, for the purpose of de termlnlng to whom the management of tbe Library properly belonged and consider its interests in general. The result of that meeting was that after all the fact about the matter had been fully presented, Mr. Lyttle decided that its management and control was vested entirely in the Library Committee. We feel it our duty to present some of 'those facts to the public and hone they will give them tbelr Intelligent and unprejudiced consideration, inasmuch as the ieople gen erally ha?e been Influenced by mlsrepresen tatlons. On Jan. 11, 1887, at a meeting of the C. L. S. C. It was decided to give an entertainment for the benefit of the Y. M C. A. The en'ertainment was given May 21, 1887, and $40.35 clear ef expenses was realized It was decided to Invest this money in books, which were to form the nucleus of a circulating library, by which the. general public as well as the Y.M.C. A would be benefited. A permanent ltbrart committee was formed, being elected and chosen by the C. L. S. C, which commit tee was composed of both tbe C. L. S. C. and ot tbe 1. M. u. A. The library was formally opened on Jan. 14, 1888. At that time the Y. M. C. A. did not by any means stand upon a solid basis, being composed of but few members and those, with two or three exceptions, were boys. Under these cirenmstarces the library committee, ictlng an their own judgment and on the opinion expressed by many of our most Intelligent people, thought It advisable to retain the control of the library until the success of the Y. M. C. A. was manifestly assured, This control we have consequently retained and know it advisable to da so until we can relinquish It discreetly. The officers of the lata convention held in our town heYe with one accord most heartily endoised the course wa pursued and complimented us highly upen Its favorable results. Ever since the library was opened the members of the Y. M. C. A. have been 6en- efitei by it and have In fact received all that was promised. They have been entl tied to free membership to the library by paying the annual fee of one dollar to their association and not to tbe library. The money paid to the Y. M. C. A. as fees and the money paid by members of tbe library was then thrown into a common fund and the expenses ot both tbe Y. M. C. A. and the library were first paid theretrem, the balance, together with the amount raised by the "Pink Tea Festival," being invested in books. There are now 310 books in the library, including about thirty voluntarily contributed by the Y. M. C. A.. All wbo are interested in the progress and intelligence of our people must admit tbat the library bas filled a long-felt want and need in our town and will still more effectually do so In the future If properly managed. After various and unsuccessful attemps to start a library by persons who were conscious of Its great necessity, we should now feel seme degree of pride in its final accomplishment. Wa feel assured from the many words of appreciation ex. pressed by Its members tbat it Is a source ot much pleasure and profit to those who haye availed '.bemselves of Ite advantages. We have given all our time and labor to tbe work ot tbe library gratuitously, being subject to tbe same roles and regu'atlons I in nosed on all Us members, and can assure the public that we have the Interest of tbe library at Leart, Our object has alwajs been to make It a library worthy of the name, and the motives that actuated us-at all times In our work were to da the great est amount of good to all concerned. When ever a suitable room is secured In which tbe library can be placed a room to which ladles and yanng girls can go with oroprl etv and we have tbe surely of Us proper maintenance, we sball, upon proper condl tlons, most heartily rellniulsh our control and place It Into the hands ot t be Board of Directors ef our properly organized, and we most sincerely bope.successful Y.M.C.A It may be a matter of Interest to tbe public to read the following communlca tion from the Y. M. C. A. to tbe Library Committee: We as members ot the Young Men's Christian Association of Lehlghton agree to tbe following: The Y. M. C. A.
