A long spell of remarkably flue

a change mast soon be expected, but

absolute confidence on that point.

MCKINLEY’S. 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. Fur

Sixteen Mates of the Union—North,

accompanied by numerous staffs.
THE INAUGURATION CEREMONIES.
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-

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. The
principles it laid down have preserved
the republic and are to popular govern-

frozen ground- or in snow mauy a time
withont covering and lived on a quarter
of a pound of meat a day, with rye coffee
as an occasional luxury. These old vets
had listened intently to the ‘experiences’
of the boys just luck from Cuba, but
hadn’t said anything. Finally one ol 1
them was called on to tell some of his
experiences daring the civil war Prob
ably he didn’t think they amounted to

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

erutire departments are responsible
for honest am] faithful iksbunieincnt,
and it should be their constant care
to avoid waste and extravagance.
Honesty, capacity, and industry
are now here more iiidi*penNable
than in public employment. These
should be fundamental requisite* to
original appointment, ami the surest
guarantee against removal.
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. We are reunited. Section
alism has disappeared. Division on
public questions can no longer be
traced by the war maps of 1861. These
old differences less and less disturb
the judgment. Existing problems de
mand. the thought and quicken the
conscience of the country, and the re
sponsibility for, their presence as well
us for their righteous settlement
rests upon us all—no more upon me
than you. There are some national
questions in the solution of which
patriotism should exclude partisan
ship. Magnifying their difficulties
will not take them off our hands nor
facilitate their adjustment. Distrust
of the capacity, integrity and high
purposes of the American people will
not be an inspiring theme for future
political contests. Dark pictures and
gloomy' foreboding* are worse than
us*lea*. These only becloud, they do
not help to point the way to safety

Aa historian ia describing this Iranai
lion period of republican government at
it la now understood, writes “There
•as certainly then a degree of ceremony
observed, reflecting somewhat Ihe pa
geantry of European courts, which hss
not since been continued. President
Washington every floe day wa ked out
Two aides accompanied him, who were
kept alt respectful distance, never en
gaging in conversation He had three
very splendid cairiages. He drove to
church with two horces, into the conn
try with four; and six magnificent
cream colored chargers drew him to the
Senate His servants wore a livery of
white; trimmed with scarlet or orange
Both Washington and Adams were
‘gentlemen of the old school,’ reserved
and somewhat stately in courtesy. An
eyewitness describes the scene presentee
as Washington opened & session of Con
gress. 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.
His costume was a full suit of black vel
vet; his hair, in itself blanched by time,
powdered to snowy whiteness a dress
sword at his side, and his hat held in his
hand Thus he stood in silence, and
what moments those were! Through
out the dense crowd profound stillnesi
reigned. Not a word .was heard, not a
breath. Palpitation! took the place of
sounds. It was a feeling infinitely be
yond that which vent* itself in shouts.”
Jefferson’* election to the Presidency
brought with it a revolution Cream
colored charger* went out of fuhion
Liveried lacqueys in white, scarlet tfr
orange trimmings, found themselves
• ithont occupation. Simple messages
to Congress were substituted for
‘ speeches ” from the republican throne
English parliamentary precedent wa*
abolished. A President with a sword
buckled to his side disappeared forever

“Mrs Stowes book misrepresents
each section to the other. It made pos
sible John Brown’s raid. It inflamed
the North and maddenel the South. It
irovoked ‘ the irrepressible conflict,’
made it irrepressible, in fine. But for
it the war aud its slaughter u.lght hare
been averted. So might the wholesale
off of the old negroes, the de
moralization and' resultant criminality
of the race.
“There would have beet: little of a
race problem then today. Tbe South
uould have been persuadsd to take a
money substitute for its slaves and ^he
freed negroes would havo remained un

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. The
