A long spell of remarkably flue troather added to the probabilities that a change mast soon be expected, but the weather bureau insisted on de «>iarlng for fine weather and the spe cial bulletin issued last uight expressed absolute confidence on that point. During the wee sms’ hours, and even well into the morning the prospect waa certainly discouraging. At .i o’clock a. m., a dnuing rain was falling, and at sunns* the clouds hung so thickly that the orb of day was scarcely visi hie.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS My Fellow Citizens: When we an HPinbled here on March 4, 1897, there was great anxiety with regard to our currency and credit. None exists now. Then our treasury receipts were inadequate to meet the current obiigatians of the government. Now they are sufficieiit for all public needs, and we have a surplus instead of a deficit. Then 1 felt constrained to convene the congress in extraor diary session to devise revenues pay the ordinary expenses of the gov ernment. Now 1 have the satisfac tion t* oannounce that the congress just closed has reduced taxation in the sum of 441,000,000. Then there was a deep solicit tide because of the long depression of our manufactur ing. mining, agricultural and mercan tile industries and the consequent distress of our laboring population. Now every aveau* of production is crowded wrtth activity, labor Is well employed and American products And good markets at home and abroad Our dnersiftcd production*, however, are increasing la such un precedented volume as to admonish us of lbs aeeeestly ml stvil further enlarging our foreign markets by broader commercial relations.

President McKinley waa sworn in to succeed himself us chief magistrate of the nation on a handsomely decorated stand at the east front of the capitol By noon this vast central plaza, stretch ing out from the capitol, was a billow ing expense of humanity. Massed half way back were the mounted officers of the miliUuy escort and the staff. Off to the left, Troop A, the President’s crack organization, sat motionless on their black chargers. Fronting the House wing was the silk uatt^d and be- saahed citizens’ committee. Batik of all these surged lb* countless multi tude. Jutting out from the capitol steps and sweeping acroes the front were acres of seats accommodating 5,000 guests. The high portico ol the Sen ate wing was crowded with the dis. tinguished guests of that body. To the left, oo the Honse portico, Speaker Henderson’s family and friends min gled with the House leaders. A blaze of color was at every baud. It waa just after 1 o’clock when President McKinley stepped out upon the portico. A great cheer went up that re-echoed until the huge stand fairly trembled. The President bowed in acknowledgement. With him was Chief Justice Fuller. Through the line# of Senators and officials, all standing to do him honor, the Preaident proceeded to the central pavilion, and at the railing faced the vart assemblage, again and agaia bow ing before the tremendous chorus from the 40,000 throats. Then he turned iru aaliosal capital His waa a rtepeadoaa event la all world history, for It gave aa Irresistible direc tion to a conflict that is as old almost ae humanity Itself, sad that, will oontinu'e through all inaogurailon was what haa bees called In derision "simple.” True, U was M simple” so far a* he waa concerned, bet It meant the recognition of the sovereignty of the people. And be cause of this fact, what he then did has apparently limn. . His and unworthy the doctrine that we I been outrageoualy falsified by historians lose our Own liberties by securing the endurthg foundations of liberty to it hers. Our institutions will net d#-| teriorute by extension and our sense of justice will not ubnte under tropic - suns W distant seas. As heretofore, so hereafter will the nation demon strate its fitness to administer any neiy estate whieh events devolve up on it, and in the fear of God will take occasion by the hand and make the hounds of freedom wider yet.” If there are those among us who would make our way more difficult we must not he disheartened, but the more Earnestly dedicate ourselves to the task we have rightly entered. The path of progress is seldom smooth. New things are often found hard to. ni. i .« do. Our fathers found them so. We| l ° GnrlSUanlty, find them so. They are inconvenient. They cost us something. But are we not made better for the effort and sacrifice and are not those we serve lifted up and blessed? We will be consoled, too, with the fact that opposition has confronted every movement of the republic from Its opening hour until now, but with out success. The republic lias marched on and on, and its everystep has ex alted freedom amNiumanity. We are undergoing the same ordeal as di our predecessor* nearly a century ago. We are following the course they bla/ed. They triumphed. Will their successors falter and plead or- ranie impotmey in the nation? Sure ly after 123 year* of achievement for mankind we will not surrender our equality with other powers on mat ter* fundamental and essential to na tionality. With no such purpose was the nation created. In no stu-h spirit ha* It developed it* full and indepen dent sovereignty. We adhere to the peveelptes of 'equality among onr- •Hve« ami by no act of ones will we ipn t<i 'ourselves a snbonlinats rank in the family of nato 1 ***- hostile to the principles for which he stood and for which he, of all men that ever lived standi today. A large num ber of these writers with the purpose of casting ridicule on Jefferson assert that " he fode to the capitol, hitched his horse to the palings and walked in to take the oath of office.” He did nothin of the kind. Lodging near the splendl building, he walked to it aooompanied by a few friends, and went through the ceremony in the Senate chamber where fox the four preceding ye*,rs he had pre sided as vice president And there and then he read the very greatest inaugural address that haa yet been made.

Few religious sects have appeared so little in public print as the Mennon ites, although attracted much attention In. 1871-H, when almost an entire remnant of s r great company which had fled thither a hundred years before from Austria rather than submit to military impress ment, came over to us, driven by the same goad, and settled in Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota. It is their doctrine of non-reeiitance which has brought upon them their most peisistent troubles. During the days that followed the Reformation they came under condemnation of Prot estant and Roman Catholic, lulers alike, for take up arms they would not at any command. No sect, it is said, accoiding to numbers, hss suffered so much from iiersecution or given so mauy martyrs for it* faith. It was this fierce persecution and wholesale they have been al unique, distict force in the world’s I slaughter that quenchM the miaaionary spiritual life since the days of Luther, I spirit which early hiatorv shows they of whom Menno-Siinou, leader of the I exhibited in exceptional dei sect, w.is a contemporary.

Four year* ago we stood on the brink of war without the jieople knowing it and without any prepara tion or effort at preparation for the impending peril. I did all that in honor eould be done to avert the war, but without avail. It became inevi table, and the congress, at its first regular session, without party divi sion, provided money in anticipation of the crisis and in preparation to meet it. It came. The result'.was signally favorable to American arms and in the highest degree himorable to the government. It imposed upon us obligations from which we cannot public will. When once it is regist -ered it is a law to us all, and faith ful observance should follow its de crees. ‘ Strong hearts and helpful hands are needed, and fortunately we have them In every part of oul* beloved country.

An immense crowd filled the street through which he was to pass As he left his carriage, he ascended the steps of the edifice, and paused upon the upper platfornf. There he stood fora moment, distinctly seen by everybody He stood in all his civic dignity and moral grandeur, erect, serene, majestic.

The comnuuion is observed laira a year. Every intending participant is carefully examined separately concern ing his spiritual standing, before the day appointed for taking tbe sacra- mtut. Immediately after tbe com munion of bread and wine, comes tbe ceremony of foot washing. Tbe mem here of tbe sexes perform the office among themselves, each in turu*waah ing and wiping the feet of his brother or her sister, and giving at tbe same time the hand of fellowship and tbe kiss of peace. Those who perform the duties of the ministry are chosen from the congregation to he served. Should more than one person be placed in nomination by tbe congregation, a day is appointed to choose by lot one from among the persons nominated. Dea cons are chosen in the same manner, and tire onlained to care for the poor and the sick, to adjust matters, and in the absence of tbe minister to conduct the service' with exhortation and prayer. Riahops are chosen from among the ministers, and are ordained to administer the rights of -baptism and the communion, to celebrate the rite of matrimony, and to have the pastoral charge of a district in which there are a number of ministert and deacons, all under hit direction.” The ministry, except for traveling evangelists, is unsalaried, preachers, deacons and bishops, supporting them selves, as a rule, at their ordinary oc cupations. Their first college in this country, Elkart Institute, Elkart, Ind,aud the only one in existence among the class of which Bishop Heatwole writes, was incorporated in 1895. Among the growing institutions in the Mennonite church, probably there is none which us such possibilities for usefulness. The school owns its own buildings and grounds, and has a well-equipped lab oratory, a library, and modern facili ties slid methods of instructions.
