ed upon the seas, but we have not
' wished to wrong or injure in return;
have retained throughout the con
sciousness of standing 'in some sort
apart, intent upon an interest that
transcended the immediate issues of
the war itself. As some of the inju
ries done us have become intolerable
we have still been clear that we
wished nothing for ourselves that we
were not ready to demand for all man
kind fair dealing, justice, the free
dom to live and be at ease against
organized wrong.
"It is in this spirit and with this
tuougni mat we nave k"u muii;
and more aware, more and more cer
tain, that the part we jvished to play
was the part of those who mean to
vindicate and fortify peace. -We have
been obliged to arm ourselves to
make good our claim to a certain
minimum of right and freedom of ac
tion. We stand firm in armed neu
trality since it seems that in no other
way we can demonstrate what it is we
insist upon and cannot forego. We
may even be drawn on, by circum
stances, not by our own purpose or
desire, to a more active assertion of
our rights as we sec them and a more
immediate association with the great
struggle itself.

tional life to be altered. We desire !
neither conquest nor advantage. We
wish nothing that can be had only at
- the cost of another people. We have
alwa.ys professed unselfish purpose
and we covet the opportunity to prove
that our professions are sincere.
"There are many things still to do
at home, to clarify our own politics
and give new vitality to the industrial
processes of our own life, and we shall
do them as time and opportunity serves
but we realizethat the greatest things
that remain to be done must be done
with whole world for a stage and in
co-operation with the wide and uni
versal forces of mankind, and we are
making our spirits ready for those
things. They will follow in the im
mediate wake of the war' itself and
will set civilization up again. We are
provincials no longer. The tragical 1
events oT the thirty months of vital!
turmoil through which we have just,
passed have made us citizens of the
world.There can be no turning baek. i
Our own fortunes as a Nation are in
volved, whether we would have it so
or not.
And yet we are not the less Amer-,

the more Americans if we but remain.
true to the principles in which
have been bred. They are not : thej
continent. We have known and boast
ed all along that they were the prin-
5 uiai. tuey were me pnn-
ciples of a liberated mankind. These,
therefore, are the things? we shall
stand for, whether in war or in peace:
"That all nations are equally inter
ested in the .peace of the world and
in the political stability of free peo-'
pie and equally responsible for their
maintenance;
"That the essential principle of
peace is the actual equality of nations
in all matters of right or privilege;
"That peace cannot securely or just
ly rest upon an armed balance of pow
er; "That governments derive all their
just powers from the consent of the
governed and that no other powers
should be supported by the common
thought, purpose, or power of the fam
ily of nations.
"That the seas- should be equally
free and safe for the use of all peo
ples, under rules set up by common
agreement and consent, and that, so
far. as practicable, they should be ac
cessible to all upon equal terms;
"That the community of interest
and of power upon which peace must
henceforth depend imposes upon each
nation the duty of seeing to it that
all influences proceeding from its own
citizens meant to encourage or' assist
revolution in other states should be
sternly and effectually suppressed and
prepresented.
"I need not argue these principles to
you, my fellow countrymen:
; "They are jour own, part and parcel
of your own thinking and your own
motive in affairs. They spring up na
tive amongst us. Upon this as a plat
form of purpose and of action we can

Various and sundry were the ac
coutrements carried by the march
ers. They ranged through striped
umbrellas, flourished with mechani
cal precision by umbrella brigades;
canes of multiple description, bal
loons and banners galore. All ad
vertising was barred from the parade.
As the grand marshals and com
manders of brigades passed the re
viewing stand, at salute, the Presi-
i dent responded with an acknowledge-
1 ment. More cordial, however, wa.s
his greeting to the Annapolis and
West Point cadets as they swept past j
in irreproachable formation, and to
the Grand Army men, straggling in
no such perfect, order, but erect and
grimly responding to the President's
welcome. Many paused briefly to
wave individual greetings to the
Jcommander-in-chief of the army and
navy as they passed.
The Vice President and Mrs. Mar
shall paid particular attention to the
Culver military cadets their escort
to the Capitol in the morning, as
they clattered by on coal black
horses.
The President appeared also deep
ly impressed as a group of aged In-

The greatest military display seen
at ' any of the presidential inaugura
tions was that which accompanied the
installation of Ulysses S. Grant.
When Lincoln-delivered his first in
augural address Stephen A. Douglas
whom he had defeated for Ihe presi-
-dency, stood at his side and held his
hat. -
The Bible on which Grover Cleve

augurations, was the one presented to
him by his mother when he left home
in 1852.
Thomas R. Marshall is the fifth Vice
President to be re-elected. The oth
ers were John Adams, George Clin
ton, Daniel D. Tompkins and John C.
Calhoun.
The induction of Andrew Johnson
into the office of President, following
immediately upon the death of Lin
coln, was conducted in the private
room of a hotel.
When President Benjamin Harrison
was inaugurated he was escorted by
the veterans of the 70th Indiana Vol
unteer Infantry, which he had com
manded in the Civil War.
President Zachary Taylor was fond
of pomp and ceremony and the proces
sion at his inauguration was one of the
finest up to that time, that had been
seen in the country.
The inauguration of John Tyler, who
succeeded to the presidency on the
death of William Henry Harrison, was
conducted in the Tyler home in Wash
ington without pomp or display of any
kind.
Millard Fillmore, through the death
of President Taylor, came into the
office of the presidency without spe
cial ceremony. The oath of office
was administered to- him in the usual
way before Congress, but he made no
inaugural address.
