Permit mo to say in your presence to the audience that has assembled to greet you , that they nro favored with an opportunity enjoyed by the subjects of no other government In the same degree the opportunity to meet upon equal terms the chief moglstrato of a mighty nation who derives his position from no accident of "birth nor the result of devastating strife ; but instead , thereof a voluntary offering from free , Inde prudent nnu Intelligent peoploof whom they havethohonorof bdugpdrt.

Ho nw In the welcome tendered him the loyalty .and respect of the great American people for that government of which they were the only sovereigns and which had attained such lilgh rank In the galaxy of nations. The president congratulated the people of Iowa en tbo phenomenal progress which they had made as a state within the past decades , and was gratitlcd by the evidences of prosperity which he observed on every hand. In tbo unique nnd uiainiitieent structure ( the coal palace ) which was Justly the prldo of the dty of Ottumwa bo saw demonstrated not only the inexhaust ible mineral wealth of the state of Iowa , but also au arebitccturul triumph and artistic culture which were a credit to the over ad vancing Ilawkeye state. [ Applauso.l The president said that if ho should attempt to Interpret the lesson of the coal palace ho would say It was an illustration of how much ( hat Is artistic aud graceful Is to bo found in the comiiion thingsof life. "AndU I should , " mid he , "make an application of the lesson it would bo to suggest that we might protltably carry Into all our homes and all neighborly IntercourbOtbcsame transforming spirit. The common things ot thisllfe , touched by a loving spirit , may bo made to glow nnd glisten. In the common Intel-course life , touched by friendliness and love , may bo made to nil every homo and iielchborhood with a brightness that Jewels cannot shed , And It Is pleasant to think that in our Ameri can homo life wo have reached this idea in n degree unexcelled elsewhere. I bcllove that In .American homes , whether in tbo city or on the farm , the American father and mother in their relations to children are kinder , moro helpful nnd benignant than any other.

"I had supposed that there were llmltatluns upon the freedom of this tnectlnp , both M to Governor Boles nnd my- sdf , and that no political suggestion of any sort was to bo Introduced nt this friendly * concourse of American citizens , 1 think both of us have good cause for grievance against the prohibitionists for Interrupting us with' this argument for cold water. . " [ Great la&ghtcr. Heferrlnu' again to the coal palace , the president said : "We have In this structure a dlsphyof nil the products of the farm , nnd sldo by side with the display of the mechani cal arts. I think in this combination , in this diversity of Interest nnd pin-suit , this mutual nnd Helpful relation between the tillers of the soil anil the workers In our shops , each con tributing to the common wealth and each giv ing to the otner that which henecds , we have that which has brought about the prosperity wo now enjoy and which Is to Increase under tno Inborn of your children to a dixrec wo have not rcalzed. !

A score of special trains piled visitors into the city , and at the time the procession was moving there must have been forty thousand people out. The city was beautifully decorated. A conspiruou's feature of thop.irade was the old Third Iowa cavalry , which during the war was com manded in lurn by General Busscy , now as sistant seorctarv of the interior , Colonel Caldwcll , now Ignited States circuit Judge , nnd General Xoble , now secretary of the In terior. One of the beautiful Incidents of the parade rado occurred at the Adams school , where three thousand school children congregated to see the president. Ho bowed his acknowl edgments to the happy children , who each waved a Hag , and then their three thousand voices were uplifted in the familiar old hymn , "America. " During the afternoon a larga crowd gath ered around the train and the president was ngain compelled to show himself and s [ > eak a few words. Ho said that such spontaneous greetings as these gave him , courage In the work that is often very wearisome and often very full of worry. They helped him to believe that the great mabscs of the people have no other interest than that the government shall bo well ad ministered and that public ofllces bo lillcd by competent , conscientious and honest men. A public reception was tendered the presi dent at the coal palace nnd from S to 9 o'clock he shook lianas with thousands of people. The orator of thooveiiing was Congressman Grosvcnor ot Ohio , whoso address was an excellent one , well adapted to the occasion nnd highly appreciated by the audience. He said among other things that the demand in America for agricultural products will keep pace with the growth of the population and the prospcntyof our industries and pre dicted that the demand would steadily prow , while the volume of production would not keep abreast. Ho predicted in the near future n great spirit of prosperity to the industrial classes of the whole world. When an Associated nress representative Informed President Harrison of the report current in tbo cast that bo contemplates a special session of congress to consider tnc federal election bill , the president said be was sorry he could eive no expression on the sub ject , as it would be Improper.

Other witnesses , however , proved a different state of affairs , and several testified to having gone homo to the fort that night , with the men. Then the tolls were woven around Parkinson himself. Ills enmity was shown by the fact that ho Mispected Baker of having given away a scheme which several of them had put uu to desert. Following out the scheme , some llroarms had been stolen from the commis sary , the intention of the men being to escape to the hills aud there establish themselves as bandit kings , making raids on the surround ing country aud levying toll on everybody who cauio their way.
