Wasannaroe, March 6. -Grover Cleve-
land, of New York, was on Saturday suc-
cessfully inducted into the high office of
President of the United States for his sec-
ond term, with all appropriate ceremonies,
odd the gathering of a mighty multitude.
In his inaugural address he epoke as fol-
kare:-My fellow -citizens: In obedience
to the mandate of my countrymen, I am
.bot to dedicate myself to their service
under the sanction of a solemn oath. I
deem it fitting on this occasion while indi-
cating the opinions I hold concerning pub

briefly refer to the existence of certain con -
&sone and tendencies among our people
which seem to menace the integrity and
usefulness of their Government. While
every American citizen must contemplate

nonderful thrift and enterprise of our
people and the demonstrated superiority

ounstantly watch for every symptom of in- •
sidions infirmity that threatens our na-
tional vigor.
It cannot be doubted that our stupend-
ous achievements as a people and our
country's robust strength have given rise
a heedlessness of those laws governing
our national health which we can no more
trade than human life can escape the laws
of God and nature.

0,11e mode of the misappropriation of
public funds is avoided when appoint: -
merits to office, instead of being the re-
wards of partisan activity, are awarded to
those whose efficiency promises a fair re-_
turn of work for the compensation paid to
them. To secure the fitness and com-
petency of appointees to office, and to re-
move from political action the demoralis-
ing madness for place, civil senviee reform
has found a place in our public policy and
laws. The benefits already gained through
this instrumentality, and the further use-
fulness it promises, entitle it to the hearty
support and encouragement of all who de-
sire to see our public service well per-
formed, or who hope for the elevation of
political sentiment and the 'purification of
political methode.
The existence of immense aggregations
of kindred enterprises and combinations of
business interests, formed for the purpose
of limiting production and fixing prices,
is inconsistent with the fair field• which
ought to be open to every independent
activity. Legitimate strife in business
should not be superseded by an enforced
concession to the_demands of combinations
that have the power to destroy, nor should -
the people to be served lose the benefit of
cheapness which usually results from
wholesome competition. These aggrega-
tions and combinations frequently consti-
tute conspiracies against the interests of
the people, and as in all their phases they
are unnatural andeopposed to our Ameri-
can sense of fairness, to the extent that
they can- be reached and restrained by -
federal power, the general Government
should relieve our citizens from their in-
ference and exactions. Loyalty to the
principles upon which our Government
rests positively demands that the equality
before the law which it guarantees to
every citizen should be justly and in good
faith conceded in all parts of the land.
The enjoyment of this right follows the
badge of citizenship wherever found, and.,
unimpaired by race or color, it appeals for
recognition to American manliness and
fairness. Our relations with the Indians
located within our borders impose upon us
the responsibilities we cannot escape.
Humanity and consistency require us to
treat them with forbearance, and in our
dealings with them to honestly and
considerately egard their rirghts and
interests. _ Every effort should be made
to lead them through the paths of
civilization and education to self-
supportiug and iedepeudent citizen-
ship. Itt the meantime, as the nation's
wards, they should be promptly defended
against the cupidity, of designing men and
shielded from every iufiueace or tempta-
tion that retards their advancement.
The people of the tlnited States have
decreed that on this day the control of
their Government a.31i its legislative and

Cal party pledged in the most positive'
terms to the -accomplishment of tariff re-,

favor of a more just and equitable system
of federal -taxation. The agents they have -
chosen to carry out their purposes are
bound by their 'promises, not less than by
the command of their masters, to devote
' interests.
I am confident that such an approach to
the subject will result in prudent and ef-
withheld when their exercise is deemed the taxing powers, and when we seek to re -
