Ins doubts of the possibility ol
opening n passage , but nald he
was willing to make the attempt. After
much exertion nn opening was effected In
the crowd , and the procession began Its tour ,
Colonel Cody ( Buffalo BUI ) and Captain
Fred Bracket In advance , and foljowed by
about a doren committcetnen , preceding the
distinguished gucsU. President Harrison
wnlked with Generals Morton nnd McCam-
moil , MM. Harrison with Colonel Hrltton ,
nnd the other Indies with their husbands.
Vice President Morton and family followed
In the waka of the president , but separated
by considerable space. Admiral Jouclt es
corted the vice president.
President Harrison's nppcaranco was the
signal for n burst of applause and the clap
ping of hands , which wan hunt up along the
line of march , Slowly and laboriously a
narrow lane was mndo through the dense
throng , and President Harrison , stopping at
frequent Intervals to allow these nhcad ot nlir
to force their Wiiy , ' marched entirely nrounil
the immense courl nnd partly back again tc
the upper room , Hero the vice president
caught up with the first part of , the proccs-

LONDON , March 4. The Morning Post
says : "President Harrison's Inaugural
address is marked by a commendable nb-
ncnco of bombast , and if this marks the fu
ture lone of Iho national policy another cle
ment in thu concord of the world will have
licon secured. "
The Daily News says : "Gold had a more
decisive Influence on the Into election
than on any that "has gone before.
The rich on both sides virtu
ally buy places In the administration
by liberal donation * to the campaign funds.
It la a form of purchase system whicii bodes
no good to the state , and shows thai civil
service reform niUHl begin ut the very apex
of the pyramid. President Harrison's iti-
augural address is remarkable for Its nu
merous foreign -allusions. The union may
refuse to grow in territory , but cannot refuse
to grow In interests. The creation of the
navy is evidently duo to olher consideration
than ttio necessity for reducing the surplus.
The world may soon have to reckon with a
new naval power. There are more disquiet
ing signs for those who care to find them in
the curious interchange of views on commer
cial union T > ctwccn Canada and America
than in the ilshcrlcs question. "
Tlio London Times doubts whether Presl-
dcnl Harrison's proposed now departure re
lative to naturalization laws would be advan
tageous cither fur America or for the root of
the world. Blalno's foreign policy ,
it snyn , appears prominently in
the address. The general assertion
regarding coaling Blations and harbors is
probabably Intended lo cover both Samoa
and tlio Canadian fisheries. In the depart
ment of finance the Times thinks President
Harrison's Ideas are verv clear.
The Daily Tclegjaph says : "Tho fact that
Mr. Harrison Is so well disposed to deal with
foreign affairs in a calm and equitable spirit
will bo remarked with satisfaction. "
Tbo Standard says : "Tho message , on
the whole , Is disappointing. It was certainly
not wlltcu to please Auglo-Saxcns nn this
side of the Atlualie. "
All Iho unionist dailies make u noint of
Harrison's references to law and order as a
lesson to Knglund on the Irish question.
Cleveland's Courtrsy to the Press.
G ESEII n. OFFICE OB THE Associ ATCD PHESS ,
NEW YOIIK , March 4. The retirement of
Mr. Cleveland from the presidency affords a
fitting opportunity for the Associated press
to iiiuko some recognition of the uniform
courtesy with which its representalivcs have
been received al tlio while house and Ihe in
telligent Interest that has been exhibited in
placing at Its service promptly nnd without
the annoyance that too often accompanies
ofllclul acts , everything that might properly bo
given lo the public. While the Associated
press has always been on pleasant terms
wfth the occupants of the white house , the
fact that the press was the servant of the
people , and the iiropor medium 'through
which to reach them , was never so clearly
undcistood before the administration of
President Cleveland. The experience of
Colonel Lumbiit as a journalist was un
doubtedly useful in establishing such sensi
ble aud practicable relations with the Asso
ciated press ut the very beginning of that ad
ministration.
Cleveland Retires.

the Intter's residence on Now Hampshire

President Cleveland had n very busy morn

o'clock and was up and'at work again at 8
o'clock. The member * of the cabinet were

of business was accomplished. A large

diim appropriation , dellclcncy appropriation ,
l > o toUlce appropriation , army appropriation ,
and agriculture appropriation bills.

WASIIIKOTON , March 4 , The understand
ing Is that President Harrison will send in
the names of the members of his cabinet to
the scnato to-morrow , und they will bo con-
ilruicu at once. As to the length of the ses
sion there Is a diversity of opinion. The
Chandler ami Hoar resolutions lo investigate
alleged fraud In thu elections und Alaskan
outrages are btlll ou the calendar ;
and if passed by the republicans in pursuance
of the caucus action last mouth , a delay may
ensue which will curry the i-ossioii far into
the spring. The democrats , under
the stmato rules , may filibuster indefinitely -
definitely , nnd if the republicans

THE STATE CONSTITUTION ,
Several House Bills Matco It Ac
Object Of Attack.
TEN AMENDMENTSARE PROPOSED
Ono of the Most Important Doing
.Tli.it Providing Tor the Invest
ment of tlic Permanent
School Finn ] ,
honking to llcvlalon.
Ltxcot-x , Nob. , Alnrch 4. ( Spoolal to THE
Hnn. ] The state constitution has been the
object of attack often of the 4S3 bills Intro
duced In the lower house. The "grasshop
per constitution" docs not seem to suit the
fastidious lawmakers of thesa opulent times ,
and they propose to revise it In the following
particulars :
House roll No. 1 , by Dempster , is the wcl
known submission amendment , by which 1
was proposed to "forever prohibit the manu
facture , sale und keeping for sale of intoxi
cating Ilijuor as a beverage. " This bill was
supplanted by senate Mia 81 , the Lindsay
uU ! , and will bo allowed to die a natural
death.
House roll No. 11 , by Corbln , was almost
Identical with the Dempster bill mentioned
above , and will share the same Jute.
In house roll lill , Morrlssoy endeavored to
checkmate the prohibitionists at their own
game. Uy the provisions of this bill the
question , "shall the liquor tr.ifllc bo forever
regulated In this Rtnto according to the pro
visions of the present law known ns the Slo-
cumb law ! " Is to be submitted to a | K > pulnr
vote. This measure has been consigned tea
a state of "innocuous desuetude" by the pass
age of the dual submission bill.
House roll 137 is the Corbln amendment ,
proposing to so change the constitution that
the ] > crinancnt school fund may be Invested
in rccistercd school district bonds. It is the
intention of the author to provide for the
loaning of these funds to needy school dis
tricts at 7 per cent interest to' build school
houses and for other purposes. This amend
ment has been favorably considered ia the
house , but aiwwerful lobby , representing the
banners and money loancra who now have
the free use of hundreds of thousands of
dollars of school money , is on hand and will
persistently endeavor to pigeon-hole the
measure. Its fate at present is decidedly un
certain.
Mr. Cashing of Douglas has coma to the
conclusion that the judiciary of the state is
under-paid , and in house roll 231 proposes to
unbuilt to thu electors a proposition to raise
the salaries of the judges of the supreme
court from S2,500 to $3,000 , and of district
judges from # 3,500 , to ? 3r 0i ) per annum.
This bill has been acted on favorably by the
committee on constitutional amendments.
pDuring the sef slon of tlip legislature Mr.
Kayncr , of Cheyenne , has observed that the
work of the supreme court is getting sadly
behind , and has come to the conclusion that
an increase of the working force of the court
is absolutely necessary to manage and dis
pose of the constantly increasing business.
Ho has therefore introduced house roll 30 ,
which provides for the submission of nn
amendment to the constitution raising the
number of judges from three to live. This
bill is now la the hands of the judiciary com
mittee.
Mr. George M. O'Brian , of Douglas , pro
poses an important change in the constitu
tion In house roll 418. The bill provides for
the submission of an amendment to article 7 ,
reading as follows : "livery" person of the
ago of twenty-one or upwards , who is u citi
zen of tlm United States , and who shall have
resided in thu state one year and ia the
county , precinct or ward , for the time pro
vided by law , shall bo an elector. " This bill
has not been considered yet and the mem
bers of the committee on constitutional
amendments arp non-committal us to the
merits or demerits of this measure.
In house roll 44S , Mr. Uayncr comes to the
front with another bill , by which he pro
poses to change the form of submitting an
amendment to the constitution. The rcadltfg
of the section ho proposes to change is now
very cumbersome and contratllctary , Mr.
Uayncr suggests that Instead qf containing
both affirmative and 'negative ' forms , the
ticket shall simply read , "For the proposed
amendment , " leaving the elector who does
not wish to vote "Yes" to simply scratch
the sentence out or craso the word "For"
and write "Against. "
Mr. Cady thinks ho has found n solution of
the railroad problem. The present law cm-
powers the commissions to lix rates , and in
house roll 45S proposes to submit an amend
ment to the electors uroviding that the rail
way commission shall consist of three per-
sons.who shall each receive a salary of $3,000
per annum , und wno ahull bo elected by the
people , one each year.
Mr. Coleman , of Antelope , has Introduced
a similar bill , with the exception that it does
not Hx the salary. Tills bill has notyetbeeu
nctcd on by the committee , but some of the
committee are favorable to one or the other
of the last two amendments. Hotli of these
bills are yet in the hands of the committee.
An Important Measure.
Lixcoi/sr , Neb. , March ! . [ Special to THE
BKP..J Ono of the most important measures
to come before the senate is the joint resolu
tion , already passed by the house , for a con-
stltutlonal amendment authorizing the state
treasurer to invest the permanent school
fund in the registered bonds of school dis
tricts. At present the treasurer is limited
to United States , statq and county securities.
Tbo books of the state treasurer show a
large balance constantly on hand for years
past , which , it Is assorted , has been depos
ited in Lincoln banks without bringing any
revenue to the state. The balances at Bcuii-
annual dates for tlireo years past will give
an Idea of the condition of things.
On January 1.12SO , It was , in round num
bers , { 01,000 ; July 1 , $3 < I3K)0 , ( ) ; January 1 ,
1887. $355,000 ; July 1 , 8140.003 ; January 1 ,
13S8 , SJH.OOO ; July 1 , flll,000. ) ,
It will be noticed that most of the balance
has been invested slnco last July , but an ex
amination of the books will BU'OW that the
greater part of it 1ms been disposed of filnco
December 1,18SS , when the balance on hand
was fc.70,000. It is insinuated that tills speedy
reduction of the money in the treasury was
made in anticipation of the move now being
made In the legislature to open a now avenue
of investment. It was hoped , by wiping out
the surplus , to do away with the stringent
argument for tlio proposed amendment , und
thu slate treasurer Is under sus
picion of being hand In glove
with the ring that has schemed
to keep big volumes on hand in tile state
funds for tha benefit of certain 'Lincoln
bankerH.
Ono of the sample transactions Is that of
November 15 , 18S8 , when the state sent to
the eastern money lenders and bought Ne
braska county oonds to the amount of
10,000. They were paying H per cent Inter
est. The eastern capitalists would'not sell
withoul a consideration , and the ntato ofll-
cors could not p.iy a premium. These gentle
men solved the diftlculty without trouble.
Thu eastern holders were allowed to out off
and pooKct interest coupons to the amount of
11 per cant fur the whole period during thu
life of the bonds , The stutu will only re
ceive 5 per cent Intercut.
The state- treasurer has guccoasfully re
duced the aunilus , but thcro promises to bean
an enormous income * In this permanent school
fund within the next few years. The report
of the commissioner of public lands und
buildings shows that on November 30 ,
lfc& that there were duo tno state on school
umis sold ( and payable to this fund ) , very
nearly f4,0KOUO. ( A bill passed thu Honuto
cxtcndiiif : tha time of payment till 1030 , but
t was killed hi the house. The object waste
to k/ocp / the notes outstanding because they
arc paying thu state (1 ( per cent interest. The
irgumcnt against it In the house was that
.ho owners of these lands aru taxed onlv for
their interest in them as shown by their pny-
ncnts. In sonio parts of the btate these
audit have advanced la valuu to if'-.l or even
( Ml per acre , while the holder may htivo paid
no luoro than i'-i to $ j on the purchase prioe.
As boon as they are wholly paid for these
and will ba usseswxl the * uma ns other dim-
lor property , but to extend the timu for
iiaklng deferred payments would rob the
state of many thoubnnd dolhivd in taxon.
I'bU point wus not brought out In tha sen-
atu's discussion of the bill , and the fdends
ot tha mcaiuro in that body uc-
lulc&co heartily in the action of the house in
defeating tlio bill.

For UIB rfcno.'U ol' Teachers.
Lixcoux , Nob. Alnrch -Special ( lo Tun
BIE.J : Scnalor Roche says his bill for regis
tering the orders br'school districts is for the
benefit of teachers { fa country schools.
"There are many , ' school districts in the
sparsely populated t parts of Ncbniska too
poor to pay theirt teachers properly , " ho ex
plains , "and the 'latter have to take orders
'
on the treasurer. These orders may bo out
for a year before there are funds for their
payment , and themthe teacher conducting

all the money , while the order of the year
before goes unpi4' | The result Is u greal

The object of the'-bill is this : The district

send notice by muil to the holders of orders

and the discount will bo greatly reduced. "
The Chiii'tei- Peril.
LI.VCOLX , Neb. , March 4. [ Special to THE
BEE. ] The efforts of Interested parties-
secure a moailication by the senate of the
Omaha charter bill , in respect to the street
paving clause , if succeastul , will almost certainly -
tainly defeat the measure. Should the bill
bo scut back lo the house the Douclas county
delegation will be divided , and thcro is a
powerful combination on the Hoer of the
house who are determined not to allow the
bill to take up any more time. It they get a
suspicion that the bill' has been tampered
with In the interest of corporations , ihey
will kill it. Some of the members of the
Douglas delegation who favored giving tlio
street car companies two years exemption
from paving , now say tnat the senate must
put the bitl through just as it came from the
house , or Omaha will not get a new charter.
It is understood thai the senators from Doug
las have agreed to several cUauges suggested
by special interests , aad , as ono member ex-
prcBscd it , "Unless the schemes of these
designing parties are frustrated the people
of Otuuha won't know the bill when it passes

argument thai il would raise up ninety

thought it would degrade the old soldiers to
paupers. On the other hand il was explained
that the object of the bill was to have the

Tills wno tlio contonnlal Inauguration , lint
np.irt from Its historic significance it has
boon tlio uioit noteworthy Inauguration In
the history of tlio last half century , for
though the inaugurations of previous presi
dents wcro attended occasionally by unplo.xs-
ant weather , yet there has never boon , within
tno memory of nny liviuj ? man , n day when
all tlio elomonls sin-mod to conspire to nmlto
the weather nil that Is unendurable , niul
never has the loyal enthusiasm of the people
risen so far superior to nil obstacles as to
day. The weather necessarily detracted
from the brill lanuy nml beauty nml the glit
ter of thu military display. The drums were
mu filed in rubber , and tlm music nt times
sounded hollow. Tlio men were bundled up
In their overcoats , mid looked jaded niul worn
from their weary tramp throuith thu
slush. Hut all were animated by the same
spirit of loyally mid devotion to the now
cliiuf magistrate , and the ploasentcst fuaturo
of it all is that this loyally is wholly devoid
of any pai tlaan spirit. Thcro WAS no trace
of partisan spirit in all of the Hundred * of
thousands who thron-jod the strools to-d y.
Democrats and republicans though they have
been , to-day they were all Americans , shout
ing out the glad welcome to the now prosl -
dent. Mr. Harrison's douioanor has been
such aa to win him the warmest words on
all sides. Ulgtiitled and self- possessed , ho
yet showed at nil times that ho was fully
conscious of the imiwrtanec of the great
drama of which ho was the central figure ,
Ho felt an honest prldo in the enthusiasm
showed for him nil along the line and his ex
pressive features portrayed his pleasure.
His ride from the capital to the white house
was a continuous ovation ; and cvcu the
silent und defeated man who rodu
busido him smiled at tunes at
.some little tokou of popular favor.
As he returned from the stanu where he hail
tukiiii the oath of ofllco that had made him
president , ho stopped In the corridors and
warmly greeted both friends and strangers
who pressed forward to congratulate him.
His way was blocked at times , and several of
the senators found it necessary to form them
selves into a body cuard to protect him from
the onslaughts of the zealous admirers , and
as ho returned from the vice president's
chamber , to take his place in tlio parade , his
carriage was surrounded. Although the ruin
beat In his face , lie xvaitod until ho had
shaken hands with all who managed to press
forward. His kindliness and courtusv to-day
at this first public uppcaranco made a most
favorable imtirosslon , and thcro is every
prospect that theru will be established be
tween Mr. Harrison and the people of Wnbh-
ington that warm bond of personal lovu and
sympathy that has been HO notoriously absent
during the Just four years.
JIUtf. HAlilllpOX.
To many people who crowded the senate
galleries to-dav , and to nearly all who stood
around the platform , the fuco of Airs. Harri
son was familiar. When she entered the
senate chamber she was recognised at once ,
and n burst of applause grooU.il her. Natur
ally she absorbed the attention of all , and it
was some few moments before the people
recognized in the daintily dressed ladies who
accompanied her , her daughter and her
dauffhtcr-in-law. To them , too , thcro was a
hearty greeting given. All restraint van
ished , however , when the ladies adjourned ,
with all the so ni to , to the platform to wit
ness the taking of the oath. Many who from
their position could not sse Mrs. Harrison ,
rewarded themselves by WJtchiiig every
Biullo that flitted across the faces of the
presidential ladlss as they followed the cord-
monies. Their apiioaninoo on the platform
was a pleasant surprise , for it had
been generally feared tlint the ram
would have detained them , and indeed it had
been hinted at first that they would not be
present at the capitol : it all. After the eore-
inonlus were over they ro-entcrod their car
riages. The crowd , which had lost sight of
them for a brief moineut , immediately recog
nised them again , and when tlio carriages
drove off no small poition of Unassembled
crowd deserted the parade , which was just
then beginning to move , and ran after tha
carriages for blocks in the hope of catehiug a
glance of Mrs. Harrison. In all the vast concourse -
course of people that wcro uacltcd into tlio
senate galleries to-day , like so many sar
dines , one pew presented a great gaping
void. It was the pew reserved bv courtesy
for the departing president. Not u single
member or friend of the president's family
was present. It had boon observed that pos
sibly Mrs. Cleveland would attend , and tnero
was a rumor to that effect this morning , but
it proved otherwise. Neither Mrs , Cleveland
nor Mrs. Lament , nor any one of the
cabinet ladles were In the senate chamber
to-day , anil it is positively known that none
of them will attend the Inaugural ball to
night it Is evident that their conspicuons ab
sence to-day Is a uart and portion of u care
fully preconcerted programme of avoid
ance.

It is now definitely assorted that ox Gov

of agriculture , and the cabinet Mate as
printed in tbeso dhnaichus this morning
stands beyond a question. Mr. Palmer gous
to join Air. Clarkson , Mr. Plait ami Air. Miller -
ler In meditation on what might have been ,
and Mr. Husk goc.s to the department of ag
riculture. The lirst reply to all ques
tions as to u general estimate of
the cabinet is the statement that
Mr. Harrison has certainly succeeded in
surprising the people. Ho has surprised
them , but it IK a satisfactory surprise. The
cabinet , it ia bcliuvud , will bo nn honest and
hard working one. It will man out for Itsulf
certain lines of work It will distinctively
carry out. While tliero arc , of course ,
among the many politicians who ure hum ,
some bitter disappointments , thcro ) , on the
whole , u willingness to accujit the now cabi
net and to glvo It a chance. FOW men will
ny that every member of the cabinet fully
comes up to tlioir own personal , preferences ,
but taken individually und coflefllvuly , it is
conceded that the cabinet will compare most
favorably with any that has preceded it.
