Ex-Presideut Arthur was'the, second
man to congratulate t?i? President, and
tb?n followed Chief Clerk McKinney
and ' Senator Sherman. Pr?sident
Cleveland was then introduced to the

As the new President re-entered the

He walked to the basemeut eutranc?.
where'h? first came ibto the building,

At the conclusion of the ceremonies

THE RS7TEV?.
" It was teli minutes past 2 o'clock
when the Pr?sident, escorted bypCotr
Berrett, of t he " Inaugural Committee,
took his place at the front of the stand
and th? head of the procession started
t pass in review The President's ap^
pearance was the signal for a great
shout from the concourse of people who
had gathered in front of the stand and
filled the street for several hundred
yards both ways The Pr esident quiet
ly bowed his acknowledgments aud took
his seat. A good deal of confusion was
caused in the ' vicinity of the grand
stand by the efforts of the police to clear
the street f?r the approaching proces
sion. The work was Anally accomplish
ed, but with great difficulty, mounted
police riding into the derise "throng of
spectators aud driving them back with
Lheir batons . " '
The review fmm the Presidential
itand was a grand sight :and it was tbe
generally expressed opinion that no
more brilliant pageant had ever beeu
witnessed in this country. All the or'-;
ganizations gave tbe marching.salute
as they passed the grand stand,' and the
President at first recognized ' the com
pii merit by raising his hat to every sep
arate command: but the length of the
line and the chilliness of the breeze
which sprang up compelled him before
the second division passed to keep his
head covered, and iu mosteases to limit
his acknowledgements to a slight bow.
In view of the fact that the proc?s- j \
sion was three hours in passing/it is
not a matter of surprise that he had to
abandon his intent?ou of standing with
his head uncovered throughout the re
view.
The first division, composed of regu
lar United States troops aud local mili
tary organizations, presented a fine ap
pearance as they passed the stand.
The Presideut saluted the chief mar
shal and his aides, and each of the com
pati ?es which marched in particularly
good form.
Thesecond division was composed of
the Pennsylvania National Guard.
There were about 7,500 men in this di
vision, and their good marching aud
une military bearing were praised on all
sides. Governor Pattison, of Pennsyl
vania, rode at the head of tl;e division
by the side of ex-Governor Hartranft.
They were recognized as th<-y neared
the reviewing stand and were loudly
cheered.
The President and Governor Patti
son exchanged salutes. The President
also raised his hat as a token of respect
to the buttie-loru flags of the 13th and
18th and several regimeuts of this di
vision.
Geu. Fitzhugh Lee, commaoding the
third divisiou, received an ovation from
Lhe crowd on and around the President's
stand He bowed to the President arid
the latter raised his hat. The Presc
ient paid a compliment to the 69th
New York regiment, the Grenadiers
lud the Busch Zouaves of St.. Louis
The gap betweeu the third aud fourth |
divisions gave the surging mass of hu- ! "
inanity around the President's stand an j
jpportunity to close in *igain and oh- jj

Mr. ??evtdand's purpose to make them,

juesfionably, a dozen leading New Eu

Starvation Wages for Teachers.
.: t:-.ii yem and Courier, -.;-??-?
-Th? % Abbeville County board of
school examiners have agreed that the
monthly pay of teachers employed in
the public.schools in that county .shelly
be regulated*by the grade of certificate,
that they hold or the character of the
schools in- which they teach. * The^eal-*
ary of a teacher holding a first ?grade?
certificate has been fixed at[?20 per :
mouth, the salary of a teacher holding.a.
second grade certificate at ?15 " per
mouth," and the salary of a teacher hold^
ing a third grade certificate- at~?10'per
month. It is impossible that the. servi-,
ces of competent teachers can be secured
at these starvation wages. It seems
that, the only possible way by which'the
local school trustees could, fcope to on
tani good teachers, in a county where
the salaries are fixed at such figures,
would be by levying a special tax. on
the patrons of the schools to supplement'
the fund received from the county treas
urer. And yet it is true that the strong-'
est opposition to the public school* a* .
they stand, and to the acceptance of any
relief from the Federal Government
under the Blair bill comes from Abbe-'
ville Coati ty. - : 1
The course of education in South
Carolina is upward. Progress can be
seen all along the line. Some of the
best talent in the State is devoted to the
work of the* schoolmaster: The pro
gresivo teachers are struggling to have
teachiug recognized as one of the.
learned professions. No reasonable,
man can expect the teacher to work
without fair compensation for his servi
ces. If the public schools- are to no
what they should be aod what they are.
designed to be, the teachers must be
paid a fair price for their work. It i*
probable that iu Abbeville County a*
sufficient number of good men and
women may be found who can afford
work for uotbiug, but certainly if the
work that they do is to be estimated by:
the salaries that they receive it were
better to close the schools than to at
tempt to carry them on uutier such con
ditions. As a rule, poor paying will
result in poor teaching. In several
counties in the State, notably iuOrauge
burg aud Newberry, the school author
ities are moving iu the right direction
in raising the standard of schoarsbip
among teachers, but what inducement
can there be for a well-educated man to
expend his time and talents io a work
which will pay him ouly ?20 per
month.
The State Superintendent of Educa
tion has doue a wise thing in asking
Judge Fraser, in his charge to the'j??
ries throughout the State, toex^a?n
the School-law aud to impress upon
the district trustees the. importance of ^
arousing the people to their duty in ed
ucating their children. The school law
is often criticized, but in m?st cases
this criticism is the result of ignorance
or of hostility to the general education
of the children of the State. The law
is Very good ?s it stands. The real
trouble- n?s with the district truste* a
and the people. li t he people -will only
carry out the provisions of the present
law aud j>ay their teachers suitable sal
aries, the public schools of South Caro*v^?;
lina will take a Ioug step forward.'
