THE INAUGURAL TheItiaUKUration ceremonies at Washington on the 4th of March seems to have been complete success in tbehuspi cious weather, and tla? ifnpos inp paseantfy of the. august occasion, except that owing to the strained iH-cuniary condi tion of the country the attend ance of the people was not as larg" as on some former inaug urations. But it was large enough to gratify any patriotic enthusiasm, and quite large enough to tax th physical jxnv ernof the ri'ntraVfigure of tin occasion, robust and vigorous " though he , was. The gala oc casion was marred by only one ilraw-bavk Mr. Cleveland, the setting star of that galaxy, was under. tlie relentless grii of rheumatism, that respects, neither rank, age or condition, and presented him as a limping actor in thetlrama, and worse t than that, his closed, firm lip, 1 his strong under jaw, and the stern eye which tells uncon sciously the tail of inward suf fering, all proclaimed to the curious crowd that 'Mr. Cleve land was not happy and was setting in a cloud. It could not have been otherwise. Ah! coward conscience, how thou dost accuse me! said that Rich ard whom the bard of Avon has painted as the. type of a bosom torn by remorse. Mr. Cleveland was the tortured Richard of party, and the vis ions that tloated before him when making his exit from . power when he was on exhibi tion on the 4th of March, were possibly not less agonizing than those which tortured the un happy Richard in his troubled dream. He hail stabbed the party that had raised him from obscurity to Uie summit of hu man ambition. He had thrown away 'tis opportunity of pro longed usefulness. He had been untrue to party pledges; he had been faithless to potitic.il ami personal ties. He had bet u a political ingrateand the daz zling pogeant that surrounded him had been greatly owing to his own stubborn will. How could h have been happy with these ghosts of a dead past haunting him in his misery. McKinley, on the other hand; was the picture of self-satisfied happiness. The consciousness .of the possession of goods im 1 properly obtained was counter acted by the consciousness of getting there without troubling himself with the means by which he did ascend. The is had 'swallowed. up. the how. Perhaps the most important personage next to the 'coming and departing ruler of :o,o(H),ooo people, was mother McKinley, the mother of President McKin ley. A distinguished son draws audience to his mother, and it was so with mother MeKinleV. She bears the heavv burden of eighty-foua years, but she bore them bravely from Canton, where she lived, to Washing ton, and witnessed the cere mony of the inauguration from the opening to the close oi the imposing ceremony, and doubt less dwelt ill memory upon the scenes of "his boyhood and thought of William as "a good li:tVboy." j" v. -i Then, after the ball was over with itsgorgeousness ami flum mery, McKinley became the successor to the cares of prince ly office and Cleveland went ducking. And now, save for : thought and Its troublesome re mimders, the ducker is" a hap pier man 'than the ruler of an immense republican empire we bet. ' PUUCKY GREECE. i King George, of Greece, has replied to the ultimatum of thb allied powers to withdraw -his troops from the island of Crete where they have been scut to protect the Christians on that island who belong to the faith : , i f r t i r I 1 r i i r i f , i i i i i i of tho Greek church, and many of them citizens of Greece.. He replies that if he were disposed to withdraw the Greek troops from the island that public sen timent in; his kingdom would not permit it. And now the AIHimI Powers. fearincr the ef-! feet of a ! war like demonstra tion in! Crete between Greek and Turkish troops would en danger tlie peace of Europe, have determined to interpose with a. blockade of Grecian TinrtK. i - - King George, of Greece, meanwhile is adopting aggres sive measures ami carrying the war; into' Turkish territory, where Turkish" rule is despised aud where it is supposed that the numerous Christian popula tion will take up arms against theJOttoman rule. , The sick man of Europe (the Sultan) is near the close of his existence, md the great Euro pean 1'dwers, in whose jealousy the sick man lives, will be com pelled to administer upon his estate and to distribute it to the legatees. WAR CLOUDS. Grim visage war wears a threatening front. England and Germany again threaten to break Uie peace. They are not in accord over Crete and its Grecian complications. Kaiser William, of Germany, calls for an appropriation for the build ing of war ships, and this it is said points to an armed conflict with England. Europe is a powder magazine that a spark mav explode and involve Eu- rope in one tlame or war.; coin ing but tho interposition of a kind Providence seems able to avert it. 1 Tho United States, from its 'isolated position, is well removed from it, but the danger n all hands is imminent and the commercial character of our government makes the danger greater. In the .present relations of the great ! powers the smallest collision involves serious con sequences to the whole world. A spark may cause a conflagra tion. The times and the occa sion call for caution and the ministrations of peace. t If affirlrd vrith Fealp disease?, liair frtllinir uut J premature baMncss.
