HE rilKSIDENT'S INAUGURAL.
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 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

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

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

bon Advocate Is a "bread and butter"

the Caiiboh Advocate sends ferth Its

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.

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

his heels, but Ihey never disturb the sub

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.

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.

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. Circulating Library of
Lehlgbton bas been under the management
of a permanent committee, appointed at Its
I ... 4 I J...1 1! I I I
cessfully cared for Its Interests. It Is desi-
rable tbat tbe members of tbat committee
should continue to act. At their request
we appoint tbe following two persons-
Messrs. Cbas. A, Hauk and E. J. Kuntz,
as additional representatives of the Y. M,
C. A. to become meinbeis of the commit
tee and to aseist In the management and
control of tbe books and of all funds per
