The full U'xt of Pn-siileut Harrison
inaugural addresa will be f.und on the
fiirt of this is-oe. It i an able and
interesting document, a careful perusal
of w hich w ill amply repay the reader.
Ci-Evrt.uV administration came into
power w ith the cry all along the line,
-Turn the rai-ala out." Now i a good
time for them to demonstrate, w hile they
have got leisure, w ho and where are "the
rals." They held all the books for
four'years nd tli"y should not be too
modest to name the men.
Bern Houwn of the Lnii.llure have
pawed the bill Sxing the day of election
to submit the prohibition amendment to
a popular tote on June lth. The bill
ill in all probability be signed by the
(jovernor. Every preliminary step is
therefore completed and the way is clear
ed for a full and free expression of the
tmuular will on this deeply important
.jii-Kiion. The Republican party has re
deemed its pLdre in the matter and the
inertion i i now one for the people to
pass upon.
Moaa favorable comments have never
in the history of the country been made
iion a President's inaugural address
than have been clii-ited in favor of Gen
eral Harrison's. Not only has he, in out
liyinir his policy, pleased Republican all
over the Nation, but has disarmed ad
Verse criticism on the part of the I Vtno
eratic party. Kven Southern pas'rs have
nothing but pond words for it.
As a literary production it stands .'airly
well when romreil with the master
production of Jeff. rnon and Lincoln,
nnd far alsive the ma jority of all others
that have emanated from the chief Kx
ecutives of the Nation. And while al
iiioit faultless in this regard, its ireneral
tone is stutenmunlike : its discunsion of
public tktion ao able as to show that
his comprehension of domestic and for
eign afiairs is lm!li accurate and wide
reaching. In the absence-of all biimtiait
he hstinli-s cverythine he touches in
siM-h a common aense and hi. id manner,
that everybody can understand what lie
means, livery paragraph, every sen
tence, every word is instinct with honest
and solid comkiions so much so as to
inspire unbounded confidence in his
lionenty of purpose.
Without any attempt to (latter the
members nf bis ow n party, and w ith an
utter aliseneo of anything calculated to
exaserale the feelin;: of iN'mocrats,
w hether found in the North or the South,
be gives ample assurance that he will
faithfully administer the attaint of the
iovemment on a sound Republican ba
sis. CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
What tliia pet phrase, this slogan of;
political campaigns means, is a puzzling!
conundrum that battles the ingenuity of
Philadelphia lawyer to guess. That
some kind of reform at the time it origi
nated w a demanded by the general pub- !
lie, goes without the saying: but that it
w as ever so interpreted as to prevent the '
dispenser of political patronage from re- j
wanting persons for "honorable political j
service," is an assumption w ithout the
least evidence to prove it. That any sen
sible man ha ever so construed it us to j
re in ire an Administration to rctaia a po- I
lititral opponent in orlice, and thus pre- ,
vent those iu sympathy with its political
principles from being called to its aid. in
volves an alisurdity in conllict with all
its interests. j
I'.ven if an office holder, who has had j
the favor of its emoluments for four
years, is both competent and edicient, it ,
does not follow that he should be contin- j
tied, world without end. There are bun- i
deeds, yea th jusands, of men w ho would '
1h- quite as competent and efficient. The ',
idea of keeping an efficient officer in ul- ;
ways, is not in harmony with the genius i
of our ioernment. Isolation in office is
fur more in harmony with IVmocralic
iileas than that of a life term. Life terms
are peculiar to Monarchial forms of iv- ;
crnment. w here aristocracy is a control!- i
inc factor; but wonderfully out of place .
under a ltepoblioan form a Govern- i
nient, in the n'inonibie word of the i
immortal Lincoln, "for the people and :
by the people."
Many of the I lemnrrat ir p.'ipers just
now are making themscl ea Iioarxe by j
sinking the praises of Civil S-rviee Re '
form, a subject on which they were sin- j
gularly retiivnt nil through Mr. Clove-
land's administration. The Philadelphia j
.'("rff", in its issue of the 11th inst., is
greatly nfllicted over an item in a IU'tmb-lH-aa
er, suggesting the propriety of
Jcneral Harrison "considering ai an ear
ly date the necessity of revoking the or
ders of President Cleveland as to the of
ficials in the railway mail service." To
show that President Harrison could not
do so, it quotes from the Iiopublican
platform, npon which he wax elected.
We submit that the plank quoted doe
not justify any such conclusion. The dec
laration thaf "the spirit of reform should
le oliserved in ell Executive appoint
ment," doca n and shoukl not prevent
the Harrison Administration from early
displacing men who w ere appointed sole
ly for political reasons in the railway
mail serv'me, by men who in point of
competency and efficiency, to say the
hvast, are their equals.
It is well known that as late as last
fall 'during the late campaign i Mr. Cleve
land, w itbout any charge for unfaithful
ness or inefficiency, removed mail agents
all along the lines of both the Pennsyl
vania and Baltimore & Ohio railroads,
and tilled their places by intense Demo
cratic partisans, whose only qualifica
tions consisted in their thorough IVmo
cratic character. Why men thus ap
IKiinted. ahould la? sheltered by the Civil
Service Reform act, would require better
arguments to prove than any that have
yet appeared in either Democratic or
Mugwump newspaper.
The one exceptional case of a mail
gvnt not being removed by Mr. Cleve
land, referred to by our local Iemocratic
friends, is not admissible as proof that
such removals were not made on polit
ical grounds. We allude to the case of
Mr. Knabie. on the branch of the S.im
frsc ft Cambria route. The only reason
for bis rtteution is fonnd in the fact that
the Democrats in this region failed to
agree upon any one to take his place.
The won) of General Harrison in his
inaugural address commend themaelvea
to the favorable consideration of'all men.
Tbcr have the true ring of good com
nwu rt.k. "Honorable arty service,"
hi'says, "will certainly not I esteemed
bv me a disqualification tor public office."

OUR HARRIS8UR0 LETTER,
frum our special Corresvondent.
HiBRisirrso, March fl. 19. j
The inauguration ofs President of the j
failed Stales is always of great interest to j
the people. Tlie peaceful change of the
reins of government from the hsfidsof one
man to that of another in the brief period of
a lew minutes, in a peaceful and orderly
manner, is of great imjiortance to the peo
le. When this charge is made from the
hand of one party ruler to that of another
it is of corresponding interest and lniort"
ancc. The inauguration of President Har
rison had in it the additional Interest of his
being a grand-son of a former President, and
among the souvenirs and relics for sale was
a large oak chip vitb a satin portrait of the
President fastened upon it and labeled "a
chip of the old block." A volume mhtbe
written jriving a full and detailed history of
the proceedings. The extreme bud weather
bad much to do to lessen the enthusiasm
and mar the pleasure of the occasion, but
notwithstanding the rain, the proccsislon and
all the features of the day was a comjiletc
success. The admiral inaugural address of
the incoming President was listened to wi.b
breathless silence by thousands in a drench
ing rain. The manly dignity of the retiring
President was tlie occasion lor remarks by
many. The marching was very fine, esx
cially the National Guards from your State :
it wa equal to, if not finer than the crack
Seventh of New York. There were many
features of interest in the procession outside
of the TiTsident-elect and the outgoing Pres
ident and military display with the bands of
mnsic, nxb as Buffalo Bill and the Texas
Cowboys.
The inauguration having been a success,
(he roemtiers of tlie Legislature were anx
ious to get back to work. Perhaps there was
a slight smarting of conscience for the
amount of time they had squandered by
reason of the long adjournment. Promptly
at U o'clock both branches of the Legislature
were called to order on Wednesday evening
of this week, and at once proceeded to bus
iness. Tke House considered bills on sec
ond reading and passed quite a number of
bills, but none of them were of very great
imjiortance. The bills are on the calendar
and must be disposed of. There never has
been a session of the legislature in which
there was so much trifling legislation intro
duced and of such little consequence. There
are a number of cued bills here but they do
not sevm to be reached, and each sewsion is
frittered away with some useless bill which
can never become a Jaw. and if it did the
law would lie worse than useless.
On Thursday the Granger's Tax bill pass
ed second reading after considerable discus
sion and objections. This bill aims to tax
all projierty equal for local as well as Sta'e
purposes. The bill is of a very doubtful
character and will h trdly become a law. It
takes great pains to tax all kiuds of projier
ty of corporations. Including the tools of a
working man, but very generously exempts
horses, cattle, swine and slieep over four
years old. This bill suits the granger t le
nient of the House because it is in their in
terests. The House held a session in the evening
and passed quite a number of bills on sec
ond reading, but of no very great imjiort
ance. The Senate amended the prohibition elec
tion law by putting the Kill tax resolution
in. thus allowing the electors to vote on
both amendments at the same time. After a
few minor corrections by the House, the
amendments of the Senate were agreed to
and tlie bill ia now ready to be signed by the
Governor.
On Friday morning the House made sev
eral important special orders, among others
was the Dejiartment Revenue Bill for next
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The
bill will be vigorously fought by the corpor
ations on the three mills tax. Tlie manu
facturing corporations and building and
loan associations claiming exenijition there
from. The question of taxation is very vex
atious, and the older members wish it was
disposed of in some fair, just and equitable
manner. In any event whatever out is
passed it is to be hoped it will become a law
and not foiled by a failure of the presiding
officer of the Senate to sign tlie same.
Immediately after the adjournment of the
legislature on Friday both tlie House and
Senate in a body marched to the residence
of the aged Simon Cameron to jay their re
spects to hint on his ninetieth birth-day, of
which we may have something more to say
next week.

to be hoped the good jieople will remember
him, but nut only in their prayers.
From present appearances the sugar sea
son will be a short and poor one. although
the ground hog may modify this assertion
considerable if be pleases.
The citizens are holding meetings in every
school district, foi the purpose of ascertain- I
ing what can be done towards the perma
nent arganization of a Grange, in the town
ship. The sale at Wm. Bittner was lar-ely attend
ed, and every thing sold at a reasonable
price. Mr. Bittuer and party left for Vir
ginia, on the (ith, of March, and by this time
are snugly located in their new luime in the
sunny -south.
Two mote sales in this lection, in the near
future; that of Christ Biough near Berlin,
and Henry L. Walker near Koxberry. Yc
candidates keep an eye ou the public sales.
I saw in the Somerset Ittmorrat the other
week that Addison went Democratic at the
last election. This was as much news to the
peoi!e over this way a it wa last fall, when
the news dashed over the wires that Texas
went Democratic once more.
The farm of Kdward Hummel was ap
pra'iaed at $70 per acre. This seems a little
high, but it must be remembered that this is
as tine and g iod s farm as yon ran find
in Somerset County.
F.manuel Masters bought the projierty of
the late T.ebecca C. Meyers for 2onu. This
is a bowse and lot in Berlin. Seihert and
Manges bought she land adjacent to town
for $75 an acre.
The voters of Brothersvalley, have peti
tioned the legislature to have the place for
holding tlie election mftved in the Borough
of Berlin. 1 think the Borough limits will
be extended, and that would take the bouse
where tbe election ia held at present in the
Borough, and then God only kuows where
we would have to go to vote, nultsc the leg
islature grant us ourpelutm by special act.
Jonathan Miller one of oar foremost citi
zen and best farmers, turned his voim cat
tle into the mountain for pasture last sum
mer, and last week one of the heifers pro
duced a calf, which is by all good judges
pronounced a half deer. At present it ha
tbe exact sjarance of s young fawn.
Suites number of our citizens lec.ived
notices from the "whit cap,'' to mend their
ways, or else receive treatment according to
rules and reimlations of that organization.
Some of those w bo received no; iis are of
our best citizens. White raps or any other
cajw had better look s little out, or si me one
may get hart before long. Zcko.

Plenty of snow.

Sleigh -bells can lie heard on our streets

L. X. Scott sold s fine, steer last week, for
which he received a handsome price.
Our people are holding their vacant loU
at a high ngnre, owinjj to the new enterjirise.
Elder Vogle of Somerset, preached in tbe
Discipled chuwh, in rtiitelace, last Snwday

Mrs. Wm. Piatt and Mrs. W. B. Shafer. of
Somerset and Mrs. Jno. Blymyvr of Phila
delphia, spent lat week in Centreville. They
were (he guests of their cousin, Mrs. M. P.
ShaJWr. ........ - - - - - -
Most of the places spoken of in connec
tion with tlie Academy, have conceded it to
Centreville. Our finance committee are at
work daily and have a fine list of names,
witb from one handrod dollars up to one
thousand dollars, opposite each name.
Men who positively refused at first, to give
anything, have now given us their names
and a handsome subscrijilion.besides. There
is nothing to hinder Centreville from get
ting the school if money and location has
anything to do with it. AtniirfTAL.
