miracles.
We can safely predict, however, those who
will come from the near and distant regions
of our country and who will themselves
make part of tbe national -exhibit. We
shall see the descendants of the loyal Cav
aliers or Virginia; or the Piltrrim Fathers of
if e w England; of the sturdy Hollanders who,
in 1621, bought the 22 0 0 acres or the Island
of Manhattan for the sum of $24; of the ad

Nantes to the banks of the Hudson in the

rivets in the South; of the refugees from
Salesfcurs, In Georgia, and of Charles Ed

With them also we shall have in person, or
in their sons, the thousands or others from
many climes, who, with moderate fortunes,
have joined their future to that of the great
republic, or who with sinewy arms have
opened our waterways and build our iron
ways. Mr. President. In the name or the Govern
ment or the United States I hereby dedicate
these buildings and appurtenances In

Watterson the Orator of the Day.
Then came tbe first principal oration of
the dav. It was pronounced of Hon.
Henry Watterson, who consented to fill the
vacancy caused by the declination of Con
gressman Breckenridge, also of Kentucky.
After a review of tbe great event four
centuries ago, which the World's Fair is
designated to commemorate, Mr. Watterson
said:
We are met this day to honor the memory
of Christopher Columbus, to celebiate the
four-hundredth annu.il return of the year nf
his transcendant achievement, and, with
fitting rites, to dedicate to America and the
universe a concrete exposition of the
world's progress between 1492 and 1892. No
SO centuries can be compared with those
four centuries, either in Importance or in
interest, as no previous ceremonial can be
compared with this in its wide significance
and reach; because, since tbe advent of
the Son of God. no event has had bo great
an influence upon human affairs as the
discovery of the Western Hemisphere.
We are a plain, practical people. We are
a race or inventors and workers, not of
poets and artists. We have led the world's
movements, not its thoughts. Our deeds
are to be found not upon trescoed walls, or
in ample libraries, but in the machine shop,
where the spindles sing and the looms
thunder: on the open plain, where the
steam plow, the reaper and the mower con
tend with one another in friendly war
against tbe obduracies of nature; in tbe
magic or electricity as it penetrates the
darkest caverns with its irresistible power
and light. Let us consider ourselves and
our conditions, as far as we are able, with
a candor untlnged by cynicism, and a confi
dence having no air of assurance.
A better opportunity could not be desired
for a study of our peculiarities than is fur
nished by the present moment.
A Southern Flea for a Free Ballot.
We are in the midst of the quadrennial
period established for the selection of a
Chief Magistrate. Each citizen has his right
of choice, each has his right to vote and to
have his vote freely cast and fairly counted.
Wherever this right is assailed for any
cause wrong is. done and evil mest follow,
first to the whole country, which has an in
terest in all its parts, but most to the com
munity immediately involved, which must
actually drink of the cup that has contained
tbe poison, and dannot escape its infection.
The abridgement or the right of suffrage,
however. Is very nearly proportioned to the
Ignorance or Indifference ot the parties con
cerned by it, and, there is good reason to
hope that, with tbe expanding intelligence
ui me muses ana tue growing eniignten
ment of the times, this particular form of
corruption in eleoilons will he reduced be
low the danger-line.
To that end, as to all other good ends, tbe
moderation or public sentiment must ever
be our chief reliance: for when men are
forced by the general desire for truth, and
the light which our modern vehicles of In
formation throw upon truth, to discuss
public questions for truth's sake, when it
becomes tbe plain Interest of public men, as
it is their plain duty, to do this, and when,
above all, friends and neighbors cease to
love one another less because of individual
differences of opinion about public affairs,
the struggle for unfair advantage will be
relegated to those who have either no char
acter to lose or none to seek.
It Is admitted on all sides that the current
Presldental campaign is freer from excite
ment and tumult than was ever known be
fore, and it is argued from this circumstance
that we are traversing the epoch of the
commonplace, ir this be so, thank God for
HI We have had fnll enough of the dramatic
and sensational, aud need a season of medi
ocrity and repose. But may we not ascribe
the rational av In which tbe neonle ara
going about their business to larger knowl
edge and expenenoe and a fairer spirit
than have htiberto marked onr party con
tentions; The Philosophy or Party Spirit.
Parties are as essential to free government
as oxygen to the atmosphere, or snnshine to
vegetation. And party spirit Is inseparable
from party organism. To the extent that it
is tempered by good sense and good feeling,
by love of country and integrity or purpose,
it is a supreme virtue; and there should be
no gag short of a decent regard for the sensi
bilities of others pnt upon its freedom and
plainness of utterance. Otherwise, tbe
limpid pool of Democracy would stagnate,
and we should have a Bepubllo only in
name. But we should never cease to be
admonished by the warning words or the
Father of bis Country against the excess ot
party spirit, re-enforced as they are by the
xperienoeof a century of party warfare: a
warfare happily culminatinsr in the mm.

Congressional deadlock and an extra con

the needs of the country and the time. And,
Anally, we saw the gigantic rabrlo or the
federal Government transferred from
hands that bad held it a quarter of a century
to other hands without a protest, although
bo close was tbe poll in the final count that

With such a record behind us, who shall be

Onr Earthly Fetters Burst Asunder,
Tbe curse of slavery Is gone. It was &
joint heritage of woe, to be wiped Out and
expiated in blood and Same, Tbe mirage or
the Confederacy has vanished. It -was es
sentially bucolic, a Vision of Arcadie, the
dream of a most attractive economic fal
lacy. Tbe Constitution is no longer a rope
Of sand. The exact relation of the States to
tbe Federal Government, left open to
double construction by the authors of our
organic being, because they couid not agree
among themselves, and union was the para
mount object, has been clearly and defin
itely fixed by the three last amendments to
the original chart, which constitute the real
treaty ot peace between the North and the
South, and seal our bonds as a nation for
ever. The Bepubllo represents at last tbe letter
and the spirit of the sublime Declaration.
The fetters that bound her to the earth are
hurst asunder. The rags that degraded her
beauty are cast aside. Like the enchanted
Princess in tbe legend, clad in spotless rai
ment, and wearing a crown of living light,
she steps in the perfection of her maturity
upon the scene of this, the latest and proud
est of ber victories to bid a welcome to the
world!
Need I nursue the themet This vast as
semblage speaks with a resonance and
meaning which words can never reach. It
speaks from the fields that are blessed by
the never falling waters of tbe Eennebeo
and from the farms that sprinkle the valley
of the Connecticut with mimic principalities
more potent and lasting than the real; it
speaks in the whirr or the mills or Pennsyl
vania and in tbe ring of tbe wood-cutter's
ax from the forests of tbe lake peninsulas;
it speaks from the great plantations of the
South and West, teeming with staples that
insure us wealth and power and stability.
There is no geography in American man
hood. There aie no sections to American
fraternity. It needs bnt six weeks to change
a Vermonter into Texan, and there never
has been a time when upon the battlefield,
or the frontier, Puritan and Cavalier were
not convertible terms, having in the begin
ning a common origin, and so diffused and
diluted on American soil as no loneer to
possess a local habitation, or a nativity, ex
cept in the national unit.
All Nationalities Are Welcomed.
After welcoming tbe people of all climes
to our shores, the orator closed as follows:
At this moment in every part of the
American Union the children are taking up
the wonderous tale of the discovery, and
from Boston to Galveston, from tbe little log
schoolnouse in the wilderness to the tower
ing academy in the city and town, may be
witnessed the unprecedented spectacle of a
Sowerfcl nation captured by an army of
illiputlans, of embryo men and women, of
topling boys and girls, and tiny elves scarce
big enough to lisp the numbers of tbe na
tional anthem; scarce strong enough to lift
the miniature flags that make of arid street
and autumn Bood an emblematlo garden to
gladden tbe sight and to glorify the red,
white and bine. See
Oar young barbarians all at play,
for better than these we have nothing to ex
hibit. They, iudeed, are our crown jewels;
tbe truest, though the Inevitable, offsprings
of our civilization and development; tbe
representatives of a manhood vitalized and
invigorated by toil and care, of a woman
hood elevated and inspired by liberty and
education. God bless the children and their
mothers! God bless our country's flag! And
Mayor WaiKbunu.
God be with us now and ever, God in the
roof-tree's shade and God on tbe highway,
God in the winds and waves, and God in all
our hearts!
The two patriotic airs, "Star-Spangled
Banner" and "Hail Colombia," were inter
spersed between Wstterson's address and
the other great speech of tbe day, the Co
lumbian oration by Channcey Depew.
Depew on the Emancipation of Kan.
"This dav belongs not to America, but to
the world, began the orator. "The results
of the event It commemorates are the her
itage of the peoples of every race and clime.
We celebrate the emancipation of man.
The preparation was the work of almost
countless centuries, the realization was the
revelation of one. The Cross on Calvary
was hope; the cross raised on San Salvador
was opportunity. But for the first, Colum
bus would never have sailed, but for the
second, there would have been no place for
the planting, the nurture and the expansion
of civil and religions liberty." After draw
ing a dark picture of the state of society in
the Middle' Ages, Mr. Depew continued:
Civil and religions freedom are founded
upon the individual and his independence,
his worth, his rich ts and his equal status and
opportunity. For his planting and develop
ment, a new land must be found, where with
limitless areas for expansion, the avennes or
Srogress would have no bars of onstom or
eredlty, of social orders or privileged
classes. The time had oome for the emanci
pation of tbe mind and soul of humanity.
The factors wanting for its fulfillment -were
the new world and its dlsooverer.
God always bas in training some command
ing genius for the control of great orlses in
tbe affairs or nations and peoples. The
number or these leaders is less than the
centuries, bnt their lives are tbe history of
hnman progress. Neither realism nor ro
mance furnishes a more striking and pic
turesque figure than that of Christopher
Columbus. The mystery about his origin
heightens the charm of his story. Thathe
came from among the toilers or his time is
in harmony with tbe struggles of onr period.
Then followed a sketch of Columbus'
struggles and the era of exploration which
followed his discovery. He proceeded:
A Unique Struggle for Liberty.
Platforms of principles, by petition, or
protest, or statement, have been as frequent
as revolts against established authority.
They are part of the political literature of
all nations. The Declaration of Iedenend-
net proelalmesl at PlUlMatpWa, Jaly , J
-41SP
1776, Is the only one of them whioh arrested
the attention of the world when It was pub
lished, and has held its undivided Interest
ever since. The vocabulary of the equality
of man had been In familiar use by philoso
phers and statesmen,for ages. It expressed
noble sentiments, bat tbelr application was
limited to classes or conditions. Tbe masses
cared little for them nor remembered them
long. Jefferson's superb crystallization of
tbe popular opinion, that "all men are
Created equaU that they are endowed By
Chauncty Depot
their Creator with oertaln Inalienable
rights, that among these are' lite, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness," had its force
and effect in being the deliberate utterance
of the people. It swept away in a single
sentence kings and nobles, peers and pre
lates. It was Magna Cbarta and tbe peti
tion of rights planted in the virgin soil of
the American wilderness, and bearing
richer and riper fruit.
From the first century to the fifteenth
counts for little in the history or progress,
bnt In the period between the fifteenth and
the twentieth is crowded tbe tomance and
reality of human development. Life has
been prolonged, and Its enjoyment lntensl
fled. Tbe powers of the air and the water,
the resistless forces of the elements, whioh
In the time of the discoverer were tbe visi
ble terrors of tbe wrath of God, have been
subdued to tbe service of man,
Alt ball, Columbus, discoverer, dreamer,
hero and apostle. We here, of every raoe
and country, recognise the horizon which
bounded his vision and the infinite scope of
his genius. The voice of gratitude and
praise for all tbe blossings which bave been
Showered upon mankind by his adventure
is limited to no language, baf is uttered in
every tongue. Neither marble nor brass
can fitly form his statue. Continents are
his monument, and unnumbered millions,
post, present, and to come, who enjoy in
their liberties and their happiness the fruits
of his faith, will reverently guard and pre
serve, from century to century, his name
ana mine.
Cardinal Gibbons' Eloquent Invocation.
Cardinal Gibbons' prayer closed as fol
lows: Grant, O Lord, that this pacific reunion of
the world's representatives may be lnstru
mental In bringing together in closer ties of
friendship and brotherly love, all the em
pires and commonwealths of the globe. May

and jealousy that divides raoe from raoe.na

hooa or God and the brotherhood of Christ.
May the good will and fellowship which will
be fostered in this hospitable city among
the delegates of the Powers, be extended to
the governments which they will represent.
May the family of nations become so closely
identified in their Interests by social and
commercial relations, that when one nation
Is visited by any public calamity, all the
others wllloe aroused to sympathy, and be
ready, if necessary, to stretch out a helping
hand to the suffering members.
Finally, we pray that under Thy superin
tending Providence, that "reacheth from
end to end mightily; and ordereth all things
sweetly," this Columbian Exposition, like
the voyage of Columbus, may result in ac
complishing a divine as well as a humin
mission. May it exert a wholesome Influ
ence on the moral and religious, as well as
on the social and material, world. Slay It
promote the glory or God, as well as the
fieace and temporal prosperity of man. May
t redound to the development or Christian
faith and Christian principles, and may the
Queen of Commerce, in her triumphant
prozress throughout the world, be. at the
same time, the handmaid of religion and of
Christian civilization to the nations of the
earth.
Music, a salute of guns and a benediction
by Bev. H. a McCook, of Philadelphia,
closed the exercises of the afternoon.
The Events After Nightfall.
The brightest point perhaps of the galaxy
of World's Fair celebrations was that at the
Auditorium when the Columbian congresses,
the purely intellectual part of the Expo
sition, were inaugurated by Archbishop
Ireland, of St. Paul.
While the orator was an Archbishop of
the faith of Borne, the benediction was
spoken by probably the foremost Western
representative of the Evangelioiim, Dr.
William B. Harper, President ot the new
University of Chicago. Not less a remark
able index was the circumstance that two of
the addresses were by women, who, it must
be said, proved themselves worthy peers ot
those or the sterner sex wno came Detore
and after Mrs. Potter Palmer and Mrs.
Charles Henrotin.
Dr. Barrows, in his invocation, prayed for
the rulers of other nations, mentioning a
number specifically including "The mon
archs who represent the faith of Islam," and
concluding with these words:
May the movement which we inaugurate
to-night hasten the time when liberty shall
be universal and the kingdoms of this world
shall become the kingdom of our Lord and
of His Christ, and to Thy name shall be the
praise forever. Amen.
President Charles -C Bonney, of the
World's Congress Auxiliary, now delivered
the address of welcome, only two sentences
long, as follows:
The World's Congress Auxiliary salutes
and welcomes this magnifioeut audience,
assembled to witness the inaugural ceremo
nies of the intellectual and moral exposition
of tbe progress of mankind to bo made in
tbe world's congresses of 1883. The greeting
on behair of the Woman's Branch of the
Auxiliary will be given by its President,
sirs. Potter Palmer.
Mrs. Palmer's Laconic Response.
The Woman's Branch greeting bv Mrs.
Potter Palmer was equally brief ancl to tbe
point, thus:
The Woman's Branch of the World's Con
gress Auxiliary, representing the marvelous
progress of women during the last four
centuries, unites most cordially in this
greeting, and sends congratulations to the
leaders ot that progress in all enlightened
lands.
The "Salutation" In honor of Queen Isa
bella, by Mrs. Henrotin, was also a beauty '
of compression, as follows:
The assistance which Columbus received
from Queen Isabella enabled him to dis
cover and reveal tbe American continents.
Tbe aid which enlightened womanhood, tbe
Queen of this new age, now offers to all men,
will enable then, especially the tolling mil

social conditions and the rich fruitage of
resulting peace.
It was at this that Archbishop Ireland
Wat introduced by President Bohney In a
few welt-chosen words. Wbed the wonder'
fdlur)rgar8f Applause that greeted Arch'
bishop Ireland had l measurably subsided,
the reverend orator began:
An Apotheosis on the intellect.
Witelv fkrni matter: riaKd above it td ln

the unthinking world. Mind Is tbe causa
tive power In, all orderly results. Without
it, tbefce is nttttjing.or there is aimless move

uct of tbe supreme mind God increate.
Within tbe universe there Is created mind
man. Whatever, outside the workings of
the First Cause, oome in tbe universe of
beanty, goodness and progress, comes
through man. He is, within the limits of
God's creation, a second oreator. The mani
festations or mind In men are of varied meas
ures. The degree or mind lifts man above
man; the higher the mind, the greater and
tbe nobler the man.

upon it the soul's eager eye. It is the figure
or Christopher Columbus. The picture; Co

forms, whatever the coloring, is incomplete,
meaningless; tbe spirit is absent; it is void
of inspiration. Columbus Is the mind, cre

co-ordinating results. All else in the scenes

This day 100 years ago America first un
folded to the eyes of civilized races her
beauty and her wealth. The solemn com
memoration of the discovery of America
has been allotted to tho United States. It
was tbe right and the duty or the first na
tion of the continent to charge Itself with
the gracious task. She, as none other, is tbe
giant daughter of the progress of tbe age;
she) as none other, bas the power to com
mand tbe splendors whleh should mark the
commemoration. She has inaugurated the
Exposition ot Chicago.
Proper, too, was it that among the cities of
the United States Chicago be the chosen one
within whose portals the Exposition be en
throned. Chicago, SO years ago the prairie
village, the stupendous city or the present
time, is the world's objeot lesson of progress.
The Exposition will show forth the re
sults or tbe discovery of Columbus. In this
wise is he honored. What Columbus gaVe
to the world was not only the America of
1(92 America, however rich in hidden treas
ures, tranquil ana undisturbed in nature's
sleep. He save the America Of 1892 the
America which bis achievement made possl

thy banquet tables their choicest gilts -these
and thy own, the ripest fruits of hu

man mind, the like of which was never set
before men.
The Functions of the Auxiliary Congress.
The organization known as the Auxiliary
Congress is an integral part of the Colum
bian Exposition, whose dlreotors authorize
and support it. It has reosjved from the
United States Government recognition and
approval. Its special mission is tp organize
and cause to be held, during the several
months alloted to the Exposition, interna
tional conventions of the scholars and
workers of the world along all tbe lines of
human progress In the various departments
of civilized life, and in this way present,
through the living voice of the chief actors,
clear and comprehensive statements of tbe
questions in all tbe fields or activity whioh
vex to-day the souls of men. The idea is
truly grand, and most Important results
must follow from the successful' canylng
out or it.
The world's congresses will beheld in the
Eermanent memorial art palaoe ereoted in
ake Front Park. 'Complete reports of all
deliberations will be published in memorial
volumes St the expense and under the direc
tion of the United States Government, Al
ready arrangements are being made for the
holding of over 100 congresses under charge
of the various departments into which the
work of the congress auxiliary bas been or
ganized. For some congresses, In view of
the nature of the subtects to be disoussed.
the attendance will probably not range
above tbe hundreds. In the greater num
ber it will go far upward in the thousands,
and in congresses of departments of educa
tion, ot temperance, religion, etc., etc, we
are assured that tbe attendance will not be
under 60,000.
The congress auxiliary, the controlling
idea of which is to bring together men work
ing for men, puts forth in clear outlines tha
high pnipose of the whole Exposition, and
Invests it with meaning and dignity.
Not All in Material Progress.
Expositions are held as indications of pro
gress and as stimulants fo Its continuous
growth. But what is progressT Its chief
seat is hot in matter; it is not in the changes
of forms to which matter may be subjected.
Matter Is not an end to itself. It has no con
sciousness of its conditions. No benefit, no
enjoyment comes to it, whatever be the uses
to which it is put, or the shapings or the
colorings which may be Impressed upon It.
Progress is a man. It is the growth or roan
in the faculties and powers of his being, in
his empire over Inanimate and irrational
creation. Man alone progresses, or man
alone is Intelligent and conscious.
Be there as much as may make the de
velopment of nature's forces and the har
nessing of them to tbe chariots of science
and industry. Be there searchlngs into the
abysmal secrets of earth, sea and sky. Be
there trade and commerce.
But, throughout, be tbe aim to buildup
man into a higher manhood, into a more in
telligent, a better and a happier being. Be
it always man' who is progressing. Man
not growing, nothing has been accom-
Sllslied: man deteriorating, there is evil
one. Perish trade and commerce, If
thereby man is lessened in his sense of
righteousness, and the fibre of his heart is
hardened. Perish tbe most ingenious ma
chinery, if its conscienceless wheels in their
merciless rotations annihilate the purity
and happiness or human souls. Labor is a
ourse, ft man is thereby made the slave of
matter and assimilated into matter.
Progress through the whole hnman family
is the progress whioh God wills, and whioh
we should name progress.
False Ideas of Hnman Splendor,
There is danger lest expositions, where all
is wood and marble, gold and silver, ma
chinery and cereals; where matter alone
feasts tbe eye, and speaks to the soul, silent
ly teach false lessons of progress. All is
well with the world, it might seem.if matter
is improved. Men seek matter and admire
matter. Matter, then, is the all-important
Tlie tendency 01 the times is already more
materialistic than Its well-wishers desire.
Nothing sbould be done to accelerate it.
There Is need to repeat aloud the poet's
warning:
111 fares the land, to hastening ills a prey.
Where wealth accumulate", and men decay.
This tbe mission of the Congress auxil
iary. It will put Into tbe foreground man,
as the chief factor and first-fruit of civilisa
tion and progress; its programmes of stndlea
will bring out in clearest light his grandeur
and final destiny.
The speaker then went into a detailed
description of the plan of World's Fair
Congresses. Among his closing passages
were the following:
Tbe effect of tbe. work of our Congresses
will be to give a marked impetus to the
forward stream of progress. Their deliber
ations will provide the charts lor tbe maroh
of future generations.
We commemorate the discovery of
America, 400 years ago. Behold the crown
ing girt to humanity from Columbus, whose
caravels ploughed ocean's uncertain billows
in search of a great land, and from tbe all
ruling Providence whose wisdom and mercy
inspired and guided tbe immortal Genoese
mariner the United States of Amarloal

Tcnight the people by tens of thousands
are standing in Lincoln, Garfield
and Washington parks, looking at
the fireworks. The most interesting
displays were pictnres In fire of the Santa
Maria, with tbe PInta and Nina, a repre
sentation of the landing of Columbus and
an American flag in colored flames afloat in
the sky 1,000 feet above the ground.
OBSERVED EVERYWHERE.
Bow Columbus Day Was Celebrated All
Over the Land Children Monopolise
the Exercises In Many Cities Cleveland
a Quiet Spectator In Brooklyn.
New York, Oct 2L Columbus Day has
been generally observed throughout the
East by the closing of the public buildings,
busineis houses and schools. In many of
the larger cities elaborate programmes were
carried out In New York a Sunday-like
quietness prevailed downtown, in Wall
street and about the exchanges. All the 83
banks of the Clearing Home Association,
are closed. It was so in Boston, Philadel
phia, Baltimore. Providence, Buffalo and
Albany.
Brooklyn had as its special guest ex
President Cleveland and a brilliant array of
naval and military officers. Mr. Cleveland,
having declined to be present at Chicago
to-day out of respect to President Harrison,
only consented to witness the Brooklyn
celebration as a private citizen, and on the
assurance that it should be devoid of any po
litical or official significance. In Philadel
phia commemorative exercises were also
held in many churches and at the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, where Charles Emory
Smith made an address on "America's Con
tribution to the World."
At Harrlsburg there was a non-partisan
parade, in which all political clubs partici
pated. Ten thousand school boys paraded
the streets of Cleveland under the eyes of
at least 100,000 spectators. A similar scene
was witnessed in Detroit
The occasion was observed very gener
ally in tbe West, and scarcely less so in
the South. At St Paul the flag over the
High School was raised by Josiah B. King,
who was the first recruit 'in the first regi
ment that was tendered to the Federal
Government at the outbreak of the Re
bellion. Special telegrams to Tub Dispatch
irom all over Western Pennsylvania, West
Virginia and Ohio note a general observance
of the day.
