THE ST&I1DABD. Fuihay, Mahcii 8, 1881). .Tas. P. Cook, ) Editors and B. E. IIabuis, j Proprietors. THE PHI-SI DEST" IXAIUI BAL. 'I he people of these United States have long since learned to regardj !cn. llanisou n.s the Silent Man. His views and plans have been kept largely to hiin e!f,in s ite of the abl est efforts of even his personal friends. Wet attributing this reticence on his part to a desire to avert as much as possible the impending avalanche of office seekers hungering and thirst ing for places under the new admin istration, the people seemed to think that in his inaugural he would lay aside his silence and give some ex pression as thi policy that would guide him in his course as presi dent. But even here he has man aged to express himself iu general or misleading terms on several im portant questions. The first part of his inaugural is mainly historical, leading gradually to a defense of the l.igh protective tariff that now prevails. That he should hold such views is not sur prising. The Southern people have been especially anxious to know what his southern policy would be. It must be gratifying to know that he has no distinctive southern policy,no more than he fias a northern or western policy. We will be very well satisfied to be treutfd on equal terms with other sections. lie advises, as he could not well help, such a reduction of the tariff as will prevent a useless surplus in the treasury. But this is done in 10 definite and well defined lan guage, implying plainly that the in terests of our "iiifaut mauufacturies' are not to be gaerificed. He tacitly expresses the hope that the people of the South will gradually become protectionists as manufacturing increases and our mineral resources are developed. 'The mill fires were lighted at the funeral pile of slavery." Ills policy with reference to our maintaining coaling stations, with certaiu harbor privileges, in various parts of the world is rather more vigorous than that of previous ad ministrations, being suggested proba bly by the recent Sanioau difficulty. He demands of European na tions, "hands off" with reference to the Panama or Nicaragua!! Canal. Those enterprises, he thinks, should be free absolutely from any Europe am protectorate. He is unequivocally in favor of Civil Service, and wishes the Civil Service law to be "enforced fully and without evasion." One suggestion that may be preg nant with evil is the . ne that hints at the National government's as suming control of the elections. The different States, it seems to us, are jnuch better qualified than a central government to cope with and regu late the local difficulties that menace our safety and our rights. On other puints his address was mainly in accord with his jwrty, ex cept where he says, "The man who has come to regard the ballot box as it juggler's hat, has renounced his allegiance ;" and, A party success that is achieved by unfair methods, is hurtful and evanescent." WHAT OF THE TIMES. To live is a matter of fact. To succeed admirably in our undertak ings is one of the rare things of this life. Everybody is ready to give the :heap article, advice, and in quanti ties quite abundant, but few show a readiness or inclination to receive and obey. The editors of The Standard have tender places in their hearts for the to.ling masses, as we ourselves, fall amoHg this class, but especially is this desire for their success manifested iu be half of the- 'agriculturists. Their success and gai a affects all; their failure and loss touches all man liud. Here's a condition, and not a the ory, that deniauds the earnest atten tion of the wide-awake man: l'oiru- "TEEN THOUSAND bushels of C0H1 have been sold in this market sine ihe first of January; iu round dol lars, provided cash was paid, just 55.ooo must ne maae out ot the ground before the fanners of this!

The Progressive Farmer seems sour at the defeat of the R. K. Com mission Bill in the Senate. There are many other things that could k done that would be of far more value to the people of North Carolina, and especially to the fanners, than the passage of this bill. The salaries of the Commissioners would amount to more in a year than the benefit. Here's what the Fanner has to s-iy about it : "But the great sensation of the week was the discussion of the Hail way Commission bill, which began in the Senate on Luesdav and con tinued for three days. The lobbies and the galleries were crowded - dur ing each session with deeply inter ested listeners. Those w ho partici pated in the discussion in favor of A the bill were Messrs. Payne, Turner, Williams of Pitt, Lucas, Pou and LeG rand those opposing it Messrs. Kerr, Blair, Barber and Thomas. The Progressive Farmer hopes to be favored with some of these speeches, which so powerfully demonstrated the necessity for a Commission, for the benefit of our readers. They were unanswered'and are unanswer able. The voice of the people was unheeded, the demands of the peo ple were ignored, the rights of the people were disregarded and the supremacy of railroad power iu the Senate branch of the North Carolina Legislature was declared by the fol lowing vote:" Ayes.

Today, for the sec ond time in the history of the coun try, a Democratic President from l he State of New York is succeeded by a Harrison. It was just 48 years ago that William Henry Har rison succeeded Martin Van Bnren, a New York Democrat, and to-day Benjamin Harrison take3 the place of G rover Cleveland, a New York Democrat. Truly history repeats itself. Inauguration 'day is the one day In each four years that jwliti.es are laid aside here and everybody joins in to make the day a successful one. To-day they have been fairly suc cessful in spite of the fact that two days of ruin had givea the- decora tions a so.mewh.at draggled appear ance, but what was lost iu appear ance was made up by enthusiasm and tonight most of the people have gone to bed tired if not happy. As every man who reads this has a chance to be President, I propose to present a synopsis of the ceremo nies attendant t.pon the inaugura tion of a President, just as . they were gone through with today by President Ilar'-ison and ex-President Cleveland, so that should it ever be fall the reader to be elected to that elevated position he will know just w hat he will have to go through. The first thing this morning a com mittee of the Senate met Mr. Cleve land and Gen. Harrison by appoint, meut, in a parlor at Willards hotel, wlure they were escorted to the Capitol by the survivors of (ien. Harrison's old regiment. And right here let me say that the appearance ot this ola regiment was a great disappointment to the people, as they had formed their ideas from .i. i ... mo newspapers ana expected to see a IkkIv numbering at least 1500 men, whereas there were by actual count I only 143 uf them. Let tho office J seeker take heart. 1 his small nuni j her can soon be provided for iu a h timp ; went to th Presideiit's room where he was kept busy until the Oeath, i,y limitation, 0f the Fiftieth Con- uveas mi w;ziiinr bins which nist jus at our p.jic.d through iu the ng the,;cli. Harrison and last moment. Mr. Morton , proceeded to the Vice-Presideut's ! room where they remained until Sen ator I ngalls had, at twelve o'clock, i declared the Fiftieth Conzress ad- jouiiitu im uwt, i ueu air, Morton took Mr. IngaHs' nlace and ! .1 mi . n and advancing towards ..each ofher were solemnly introduced by a Sen ator, just as though they had never met before, after which they both took Beats in front of Vice-President Morton. The next thing was the completion of the organization, of the new Senate by the swearing in of the new members. Then the procession is forratd which is to march from the Senate Chamber to the huge platform e rected on the East Portico of the Capitol, where the inaugural ad dress is to be delivered and the oatb administered to the President. This procession was made up of the Mar shal of the District of Columbia, the Supreme Court, in its black gowns, the Congressional committee of airangement, the President, Pres ident-elect and Vice-President, the Senafe,the Diplomatic Corps, heads of Denartnr.Mits. Maior General of the Army and Admiral of the Navy, and officers of the Army and Navy, who, by name, have received the thanks of Congress, members of the House and members-elect. Cover nors of States and ex-Governors, officers of the Senate and House and all others who had been admitted to the lloor or galleries of tho Senate to-day. On the platform ihe President and President-elect Again seated themselves side by side, and to the right of them the Justices of the Supreme Court ranged themselves just as if they were holding court. Then followed Gen. Harrison's ad dross. He appeared to be rather nervous at first and spoke so Jow that only those very near could hear him, but he seemed to recover iu a few moments and finished his speech iu better style. It was just such an address as might have been expected from Gen. Harrison, calm, cold ivA conservative It is hardly fair o say more about it until it has been carefully read and digested. Chief Justice Fuller then arose and walking towards (ien. Harrison extended a bible while he adminis tered the oath in a clear, strong voice At its conclusion Gen. Harrison raised the bible to his lip which was the signal for the firing of a salute by a battery of artillery to let those know that did not see, that it was now President Harrison and ex-President Cleveland. The Presidential party re-entered their carriages, and the gallant 143 who are now anxious to serve their country again, (this time for good, fat salaries) got into line and the great procession started up the ave nue. The carriage of tho President and President-elect left the line at the White House grounds and soon appeared on the reviewing staud in front of the Mansion, whence they reviewed the entire procession. 1'abllc Debt Nlntenten.
