! HARRISON'S INAUGURAL. The President's YiewsUpon Important Public Questions. Discussing the Tariff, Civil Ser- i vice, the Surplus, Etc, The following is the inaugural address of President Harrison: There is no constitutional or legal requirement that the President shall take the oath of office in the presence of the people. But there is so manifest an appropriateness in the public induction to office of the chief executive officer of the nation that from the beginning of the Government the people, to whose service the official cath consecrates the officer, have been called to witness the solemn ceremonial. The oath taken in the presence of the people becomes a mutual covenant. The officer covenants to sarve the whole body of the people by a faithful execution of the laws, so that thoy may be the unfailing defence and security of" those who respect and observe them, and that neither wealth and station nor the power of combinations shall be able to evade their just penalities or to wrest them from a beneficent public purpose to serve the ends of cruelty or selfishness. My promise is spoken; yours unspoken, but not the less real and solemn. Tho people of every State have their representatives. Surely I do not misinterpret the spirit of the occasion when I assume that the whole body of the people covenant with me and with each other to-aay to support and defend the Constitution and the* Union of the States, to yield willing obedience to all the laws, and each to every other citizen his equal civil and political rights. Entering thus solemnly in covenant with each other, we may reverently invoice and confidentially expect the favor and help of Almighty God?that He will give to me wisdom, strength and fidelity, and to our people a spirit of fraternity and a love ^ ? of righteousness and peace. > This occasion derives peculiar interest from the fact that tho Presidential term which begins this day is the twenty-sixth under our Constitution. The first inauguration of President Washington took place in New York, where Congress was then sitting, on -V'; - the u()th day of April, 17M>, having been deferred by reason of delays atending the organization of the Congress and the canvass of the electoral vote. Our people have already worthily observed the centennials of the Declaration of Independence, of the battle of Yorktown, and of the adoptiou of the Constitution; and will shortly celebrate in New York the institution of the second great department of our Constitutional scheme of Government. When the centennial oftha institution of ths Judicial Department, by the organization of the Supreme Court, shall have Been suitably nhsprrpcl. nc I trust it will he. our nation will have fully entered its second century. 1 will not attempt to note the marvelous, and, in great part, happy contrasts between our country as it steps over the threshold into Its 8econd century of organized existence under the Constitution, and that weak but wisely ordered young nation that looked undauntedly down the first century, when all its years stretched out before it. Our people will not fail at this time to recall the incidents which accompanied the institution of government under the Constitution, or to find inspiration and guidance in the teachings and example of Washington and his great associates, and hope and courage in the contrast which thirty-eight populous and prosperous States offer to the thirteen States, weak in everything except courage and the love of liberty that then fringed our Atlantic seaboard. < The Territory of Dakota has now a population greater than auy of the original States (except Virginia), and greater I than the aggregate of five of the smaller ! States in 17iX). The centro of popula- I tion, when our National Capital was ! located, was east of Baltimore and it was : argued by many well-informed persons that it ! would move eastward rather than westward. I Yet in 1&J0 it was found to be near Cin- ! cinnati, and the new census about to be j taken will show another stride to the West-, i xnarA TVinfr wns t"hrt hrxlv hflQ prima I to be only the rich fringe of tbe nation's I robe. But our growth has been limited to territory, population, and aggregate wealth, marvelous as it has been in each of those directions. The masses of our people are better j fed, clothed and housed than their fathers j were. The facilities for popular education i hare been vastly enlarged and more general- : ly diffused. The virtues of courage and pa- ' triotism have given recent proof of their con- ! tinued presence and increasing power in the 1 hearts and over lives of our people. The in- j fluences of religion have been multiplied and j strengthened. The sweet ofllccs of charity i have greatly increased. The virtue of tem- I perence is held in higher estimation, I We have not attained an ideal condi- ! tion. Not all of our people are happy and ' prosperous; not all of them are virtuous and j law-abiding. But, on the whole, the oppor tunities offered to the individual to secure ! the comforts of life are bettor than are found I elsewhere, and largely better than they were . here one hundred years ago. f*V TIIE TARIFF POLICY. The surrender of a large measure of s.ivo- j reifmtv to the ceneral Government, effected i by the adoption of "the Constitution, was not j accomplished until the suggestions of reason 1 were strongly reinforcetf by tno iftrsd im. ' perativc voice of experience. The divergent j interests of peace speedily demanded a I "more perfect union." The merchant, the ship master, and the manufacturer ! discovered and disclosed to our states- I men an.l to the. people that coin- i mercial emancipation must bo added to tha political freedom which hail boon so bravely won. The commercial policy of the mother ; country had not relaxed any of its hard and i oppressive features. To hold iu check the de- ; velopment of our commsrcial marine, to pro- j vent or retard the establishment and growth j of manufactures in the States, and so to secure the Americau market for their shops i and the carry ins trade for their ships, was the policy of European statesmen, and" was pursued with the most selfish vigor. Petitions poured in upon Congress, urging the imposi- ) tion of discriminating duties that should | encourage the production of needed things at | home. The patriotism of the people, which no longer found a field of exercise in war, I was energetically directed to the duty of I equipping tin young republic for the defenso i ot its independence by making its p?oplo self-dependent. Societies for the promotion of home manufactures and for encouraging the use of domestics in the dress of the people were organized in many of the States. The revival at the end of th'3 century of, the same patriotic interest in the preservation j and development of domestic industries, and, the defence of our working people against injurious foreign competition is an incident worthy of attention. It is not a departure, Viv.4- n, Mfimn nfA UotrA wi>nn?ari Th,? protective policy "had then its opponents. ; The argument was made, as now, that its benefits inured to particular classes or sec- | tions. If the question became in any sense,or stii- at any time sectional, it was only because! i slavery existed in some of the States. But lor this there was no reason why the cottonproducing States should not "have led or walked abreast with the New England States > in the production of cotton fabrics. Therq ! was this reason only why the States that divide with Pennsylvania the mineral treasures of the great southeastern and central mountain ranges should have been so tardy in bringing to tho smelting-furnace and ;the mill, the coal and iron from their near opposing hillsides. Mill fires were lighted at 1 the funeral pile of slavery. The emancipation proclamation was heard in the depth* of the earth as well as in the sky. Men were I made free, and material thngs became our I better servants. The sectional element has happily been eliminated from the tariff discussion. We have no longer States that are necessarily only planting States. None are excluded from achieving that diversifications of pursuit among the people which brings wealth an I contentment. The cotton plantation will not be leSi valuable when the product is fc-v spun in tb<? ocnicvy town by operatives -whose necessities call for diversities crop?, and create a home demand for garden and agricultural products. Every new mine, furnace and factory is an extension of the i productive capacity of the State, moro I real and valuable than added territory. Shall the prejudice* and paralysis of slavery continue to hang upon the skirts of progress How long will those who rejoice that slavery no longer exists c'nerisli or tolerate the incapacities it puts upon their communities? I look hopefully to the continuance of our protective system and to th? consequent development of manufacturing nnH mining enterprises in the States hitherto wholly given to agriculture, as a potent influence in tho perfect unification.,of.our people. The men who have investedjAeir capital in these enterprises, tha farmers irtio have felt the benefit of their neighborhood, and the m?n who work in shop or field will not fail to find and to defend a community of interest. Is it not quite possible that the farmers and the promoters of the great mining and manufacturing enterprises which have recently been established in the South may yet find that the free ballot of the workingman, without distinction of race, is needed for their defence as well as for his own? I do not doubt that if these men in the South who now accept the tariff views of Clay anl the constitutional expssitions of Wobstor \rou!d courageously avow and defend their real convictions, thoy would not find it difficult, by friendly instruction and co-operation. to m*?ke the black man their efficient and safe ally, not only in establishing correct principles in our national Administration, but in preserving, for their local communities, the banefit of SDCial ordar <xid economical and honest governmeut. At least until the good offices of kindness and education have been fairly triod, the contrary conclusion cannot be plausibly urged. I have altogether rejected the suggestion of a special executive policy for any section of ou<* country. It is the duty of the Executive to administer and enforce, in the methods and by the instrumentalities pointed out and provided by the Constitution, all the laws enacted by Congress. Thesa laws are general and their administration should bo uniform and equal. As a citizen may not elect what laws he will obey, neither may the Executive elect which he will enforce. The duty to obey and to execute embraces the Constition in its entirety and the whole code of laws enacted under it. The evil example of permitting individuals, corporations or communities to nullify the laws because they cross some selfish or local interests or prejudices, is full of danger, not only to the nation at large, but much more to taose who j; .. ?k.l. use tnis psrnicious expedient, so escape won just obligations or to obtain an unjust advantage over others. They will presently themselves be compelled to appeal to the law for protection. and those who woul.l use the law ns defence must not deny that use of it to others. If our great corporations would more scrupulously observe their legal obligations and duties, they would have less cause to complain of the unlawful imitations of their rights or of violent interference with their operations. The community that by concert, open or secret, among its citizens, denies to a portion of its membsrs their plain rights under the law has severed the only safe bond of social order and prosperity. The evil works, from a bad center, both ways. It demoralizes those who practice it, and destroys the faith of those who suffer by it in the efficiency of the law as a safe protector. The man in whose breast that faith has been darkened is naturally the subject of dangerous and uncanny suggestions. Those who uso unlawful methods, if moved by no higher motive than the selfishness that prompts them, may well stop and inquire what is to be the end of this. An unlawful expedient cannot becoraa a permanent condition of government. If the educated and influential classe? in a community either practise or connive at the systematic violation of laws that seem to them to cross their convenience. what can they expect wheu the lesson that convenience or a supposed class interest is a sufficient causo for lawlessness has been well learned by the ignorant classes/ A community whore law is the rule of conduct, and where courts, not mobs, executf the penalties, is the only attractive field for business investments and honest labor. Our naturalization laws chould bo so amended as to make the inquiry into the character and good disposition of persons applying for citizenship mor? careful and searching. Our existing laws have been In their administration an unimpressive and often an unintelligible form. Wo accept the man as a cltizcn without any knowledge of his fitness, and ho assumes tho duties of citizenship without any knowledge as to what they are. Tho privileges ol American citizenship are so great aud Us duties so grave that we may well insist upon a good knowledge of every person applying for citizenship and a good knowledge by htm of our institutions. We should not cease to be hospitable to immigration, but we should cease to be careless as to the character of it. There are men of all races, even the best, whose coming is necessarily n burden upon our public revenues or a threat to social order. These should be identified aud excluded. Wo have happily maintained a policy of avoiding all interference with European affairs. We have been only interested spectators of their contentions In diplomacy and in war. ready to use our friendly offices to promote peace, but never obtruding our advico, and never attempting unfairly to coin the distresses of other Powers into commercial advantage to ourselves. Wehaveainst right to expect that our European policy will be the American policy of Europeau courts. It is so manifestly Incompatible with those precautious for our peace and safety, which all the great Powers habitually observe and enforce In matters ntfecting them, that a shorter water-way bctwern oar eastern aud western seaboards should be dominated by any European Government, that we may confidently expect that such a purpose will not be entertained by anyfriendlj Power. We shall, In tho fnture, as in the past, use every endeavor to maintain and enlarge our friendly relations with all the great Powers, but they will not expect us to look kindly upon any project that would leave us subject to the dangers of a hostile observation or environment. We nave not sought to dominate or to absorb any of onr weaker neighbors, but rather to aid and encourage them to establish free and stable governments, resting upon the consent of their own people. Wo have a clear right to expect, therefore, that no European Government will seek to establish colonial dependencies upon the territory of these independent American States. That which a sense of justice restrains us from seeking, they may bo V-AI/WKVa M4U1IIXIJ bU IViU^jV. It innst not oo assumed, nowever, ttiat oar inter- 1 csts are so exclusively American that oar entire inattention to any events that may transpire elsewhere can be ta&n for granted. Our citizens, domi' ciled for purposes of trade, in all countries aid in inany of the islands of the sea, demand and will have our adequate care in their personal and commercial rights. The necessities of our navy require convenient coaling stations, and dock and harbor privileges. These and oth-ir trading privileges wc will feel free to^ <}btaU\ only bj m?nns that Ca net lli uny dSgwe pircako of doSrcfon, however feeble tho Government from which we ask such concessions. But having fairly obtained them, by methods and for purposes entirely consistent with tho most friendly dispositioa toward all other powers, our consent will bo nccossary to any moditlcatlon or impairment of the concession. We shall neither fail to respect tho flag of any friendly nation or the just rights of its citizens, nor to exact the like treatment of our own. Calmness, Justice and consideration should characterize our diplomacy. The otlices of an intelligent diplomacy, or of friendly arbitration in proper cases, should bo adequate to the peaceful adjustment of all international difiiculties. By such methods we will mftko our contributions to the world's peucc, which no nation values more highly, and avoid the opprobrium which must fall uped the nation that ruthlessly breaks it. the crra, service. The duty devolved by law upon tho President to nominate and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint all public officers whose appointment is not otherwise provided for in the Constitution or by act of Congress, has becomo very burdensome, and its wise and efficient discharge full of difiiculty. The civil list is so large that a personal knowledge of any large number of the applicants is impossible. The President must rely upon the representations of others, and these are otten made inconsiderately and without any just sense of responsibility. I have a right, I thinli, to insist that those who volunteer or are invited to give advice as to appointments shall exerciso consideration and fidelity. A high sense of duty and an ambition to improve the service should characterize all public officers. There are many ways in which tho convenience and comfort of those who liave business with our public officers may be promoted by a thoughtful ana obliging officer, "and I shall expect those whom 1 may appoint to justify their selection by a conspicuous efficiency in the discharge of their duties. Honorable nartv service will certainlv not be esteemed by me a disqualification for public oftlce. But it will m no case be allowed to serve as a shield of official negligence, incompetency, or delinquency. It is entirely creditable to Beck public office by proper methods and with proper motives, and all applicants will be treated with consideration. But I shall need, and the heads of deportments will need, time for inquiry and deliberation. Persistent importunity will not, therefor/, bo the best support of on application for ofllco. Heads of departments, bureaus and all other public officers having any duty connected therewith, will be expected to enforce the Civil Service Law fully and without evasion, Beyond this obvious duty I hope to do something more to advanca tho reform of the civil service. The ideal, or even my own ideal, I shall probably not attain. Retrospect will be a safer brsis of judgment than promises. We shall not. however, I am sure, be able to put our civil service upon a noa-partisan basis until wo have secured an incumbency that fair-minded men of the opposition will approve for impartiality and integrity. As the number of such in the civil list increases removals from office will diminish. TUB SURPLUS. While a treasury surplus is not tho greatest evil, it is a serious evil. Our revenue should be ample to meet the ordinary annual demands upou our treasury, with a sufficient margin for those extraordinary but scarcely less imperative demands which arise now and then. Expenditure should always be made with economy and only upon public necessity. Wastefulness, profligacy, or favoritism in public expenditures is criminal. But there is nothing in the condition of our country or of our people to suggest t lint anything presently necessary to the public prosperity, security, or honor should bo nnduly postponed. It will bo the duty of Congress wisely to forecast and estimate thes3 extraordinary demands, and, having added them to our ordiuary expenditures. to so adjust our revenue laws that no considerable annual surplus will remain. Wo will fortuuately be able to apply to the redemption o? the pu'ilic debt any small and unforseen excess of revenue. This la better than to reduce our Income b^low our necessary expenditures, with tho resulting choice between another chango of our revenue laws and an increase of the public debt. It Is quite possiblo. I am sure, to effect the necessary reduction in our revenues without breaking down our protective tariff or seriously injuring any domestic industry. The construction of a sufficient number of modern warships and of their necessary armament should progress as rapidly as is consistent, with care and perfection is plans and workmanship. -"V L- : . - V. * *' ' i*"--f The spirit, courage and skill of oar naval officer# and seamen have raaav times In oar history given to weak Bhips and Inefficient guns a rating greatly beyond that of the naval list. That they will again do so upon occasion I do not doubt; bat they ought not by premeditation or neglect to bo left to the risks and exigencies of an nnequal combat. We should encourage the establishment of Amorcan steamship Unas. The exchanges of commerce demand stated, reliablo and rapid means of communication. aud until these aro provided the devei- . opment of our trade with the States Jying south of ' us is impossible. Our pension law should give more adequate and discriminating relief to the Union soldiers and sailors, arid to their widows aud orphans. Sach occasions as this should remind us that we owo everything to their valor and sacrifice. THE NEW STATES. It is a subjcct of congratulation that there is a near prospect of admission into the Union of tho Dakota* and Montana aud Washington Territories. This act of justice has been unreasonably delayed In the case of some of them. Tho people who have settled those Territories are intelligent, enterprising and patriotic, and the accession of theso new States will add strength to the Nation. It is duo to tho settlers in the Territories who have availed themselves of tho invitations of our laud . laws to make homos upon the public domain that" their title should bo speedily adjusted ancL ttieir honest entries confirmed by patent. ELEOTOPiu REFORM. It!? very gratifying to observe the general interest aow being miuitestcd in the reform of our election laws. Those who have been for years calling attention to the pressing necessity of throwing about tho ballot box. and about the etector, fnrther safeguards, in order that our elections might not only 6c free and pure, but might clearly appear to be so, will welcome the acccssson of any who did not so 500:1 discover the need of reform. The National Dongrcss has not as yet taken control of elections in that case over which the Constitution gives it jurisdiction, but has accepted and adopted the election laws of tho several States, provided penalties for their violation and a method of supervisor). Only fhft t\f fliA Ktata ln\r?- or An nnfftir or partisan administration of them, could, suggest a departure from this policy. It was clearly, however, in the contemplation of the framers of the Constitation that such an exigency might arise, and f?rovision was wisely made for it. No power vested n Congress or in the Executive to sccnro or perpetuate it should remain unused upon occasion. The people of all the Congressional districts have an equal Interest that the election In cach shall truly express the views and wishes of p. majority of the qualliled electors residing with In It. The results of such elections are not local, and tho insistence of electors residing in other districts that they shall be pure and free does not savor at all of Impertinence. If in auy of the States the public security Is thought to be threatened by Ignorance among the electors, the obvious remedy Is education. The sympathy aud help of our people will not be withheld trom any community struggling with special embarrassments or difficulties connected with the suffrage if the remedies proposed proceed upon lawful lines, und are promoted by ]ust and honorable methods. How shall those who practise election frauds recover that respact for the sanctity of the ballot which is the first condition aud obligation of good citizenship? The man who has come to regard the ballot-box as a juggler's hat has renounced his allegiance. Let us exalt patriotism and moderate our party contentions. Let those who would die for the flag on the field of bottle give a better proof of their patriotism and a higher glory to their country by promoting frater-, nitv and justice. A party success that is achieved by unfair methods or by practices that partake of revolution is hurtful and evanescent, even from a party standpoint. We should hold our different opinious in mutual respect, and having submitted them to the arbitrament of the billot, should accept an adverse judgment with the same respect that wo would have demanded of our opponents, If the decision had been in our favor. No other people have a government more worthy of their respect and love, or a land so magnificent in extent, so pleasant to look upon and so full of generous suggestion to enterprise and labor. God has placed upon our head a diadem, and has laid at our feet power and wealth beyond definition or calculation. But we must not forget that we take these gifts upon the condition that justice and mercy shall hold the reins of power, and that the upward avenues of hope shall be free to all the people. I do not mistrust the future. Dangers have been in frequeut ambush along our path, but wo have uncovered and vanquished them all. Passion has swept some ot our communities, but only to give us a new demonstration that the great body of our people are stable, patriotic, law-abiding. No politico"! party can long pursue advantage at the expense of public honor, or by rude and indecent methods without protest and fatal disaffection In Its own body. The peaceful agencies of commerce are more fully revealing the necessary unity of all our communities and the increasing intercourse of our people is promoting mutual respect. We shall find unalloyed pleasure in the revelation which our next ccnsus will mako of the swift development of tho great resources of some of the States. Each State will bring its generous contribution to tho great aggregate of the nation's increase. And, when the harvest from the fields, the cattle from tho hills, and tho ores of the earth shall havo been weighed, counted, and valued, we will turn from them all to crown with highest honor the Stato that has the most promoted education, virtue, justice, and patriotism among the people. flT/RVTIT.AfinVR T.AST VETfi. The Direct Tax Bill Returned to Congress Unsigned. President Cleveland returned to the Senate without approval the measure known as the Direct Tax bill which contemplated the return of the moneys?$17,359,685?collected from the several States and Territories under the act of August, 18G1. In his message of transmittal, the President says: "It is my bc-lief that the appropriation of the public funds is not within the constitutional power of Congress. "A sheer, bald gratuity, bestowed either upon States or individuals, based upon no better reason than supports the gift proposod in this bill, has never been claimed to be a provision for the general welfare. A large surplus in the Treasury is the parent of many ills, and among them is found a tendency to an extremely liberal if not loose construction of the Constitution. It also attracts the gaze of States and individuals with a kind of fascination. and gives rise to plans and pretensions that nn uncontested Treasury never could excite. ''The people should not be familiarized with the spectacle of their Government repenting the collection of taxes and restoring them. Considerations which recognize sectional divisions, or the loyalty of the different States at the time this tax was laid, should not enter into the discussion of the merits of this measure. "The difficulties in the way of making a just reimbursement of the tax instead of excusing the imperfections of the bill under consideration furnish reasons why the scheme it proposes should not be entered upon. "I ?m constrained on the considerations hereby presented to withhold my signature from the bill herewith returned,because I believe it to be without conatitutional warrant, because I am of the opinion that there exists no adequate reasons either in right or equity for the return of the tax in slid bill mentioned and because I believo its execution would cause actual injustice and unfairness. "[Signed] Grover Cleveland. "Executive Mansion, March 2." The President's voto of the Direct Tax bill waa laid before the Senate in the evening, and after a short discussion was passed over the veto?yeas, 45; nays, 9. THE NATION'S NEEDS, A Total of $300,000,000 Appropriated By the Last House. Mr. Randall, Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, prepared and submitted to the last House a statement showing the amount of appropriations carried by th3 General Appropriation bills passed at the session whicn just closed. This statement shows that the total estimates submitted amounted to $297,235,090, the sums appropriated to $281,878,695; and the sum carried in the laws for the current year to $30<5,9$o,514.

Great excitement prevails at Wallace, Ii'aho, over the decision of the Secretary of the Interior in the case of Allen versus Morrill, involving the validity of land located with Sioux half-breed scrip. Wallace was located with this scrip, and a few minutes after the news was received at Wallace of the decision. the entire town was jumped. The Carter House, the leading hotel, was the first property seized. A meeting was held, and a committee appointed to investigate the matter visit?d the United States land office in Cceur d'Alene County and found the town had been located with scrip that had been canceled. It was agreed that the parties should retain lots with buildings on them, but no one should have more than four lots. Many persons thought to be very rich are beggars, while poor people have become suddenly wealthy. THE NEWS EPITOMIZES. Eastern and Middle States.

Over a hundred bilb were acted upon. General Clark, the Clerk of the House of Representatives, has received from the Government of West Virginia the certificates of the election of Congressmen for the Third and Fourth Districts of that State. They are issued in the names of the Democratic candidates. This makes a Republican majority of thi se in the next House.

An Englishman supposed to be Richard Pigott was arrested at the Hotel des AmbasBadeurs, Madrid, Spain, under the name of Ronald Ponsonby. The man afterward committed suicide with a revolver. The description of the suicide corresponds with that of Pigott, the fugitive forger of the London Times' Parnell letters. The man spoke English only. A small amount of silver was found in his pockets. The police have taken possession of the papers and other articles found upon him. Tho suicide is undoubtedly Pigott. He doubtless assumed the name of "Ronald Ponsonby," because tho initials corresponded with thos9 on his baggage. A despatch from Madrid to the London Times says: "The arrest of the suicido was made in consequence of a telegram from the British Foreign Office. 'Ponsonbv' arrived from Paris on Thursday morning. His only baggage was a small handbag. Soon after his arrival he sent a telegraphic despatch to London." The London Standard says it iu able tc confirm the statement that the suicide was Pigott. When arrested he took the situation calmly and threw the officere off the scent. With the excuse that he,, wished to get his overcoat, he retired to an alcove and there shot himself in the mouth with a revolver. Ha died instantly.
