The event that ushered in the Democratic President is now passed; the nation awaited H with anxious expectancy, many fearing that after all there would be disturbance or but neither transpired, and. President Cleveland was duly inaugurated on the 4 th of March, and U now installed at tho White. House with all due ceremony and stato. What eort of an administration it will ba is yet to ba proven. The Damocratloparty are fully confident that the"government of this' great nation will be safe In his hands that he is wise, judicious and Cleveland the wheels of state will soon roll eveqly along, and the country grow more prosperous under the new administration. bo, andohe cannoTljelp hoping the Ibmccrais are rlht in that sgainBt. hope, 1 .t 1. w l t wieir otivumvio&ej out ame UUEeiUeU COIiUHlOn of all nations at the present time certainly tends to weaken confidence in the validity of any one suveruuieui, However propiUGUi me outward seeming may appear.

The republican party, much as they despise tho Demccratlc principles, are quite exultant because President Cleveland mentioned in his mc83age to the people of these United Slates that polygamy should be repressed.

Looking at the subject in the true eense of the . word, how readily we can understand the reason that the human family, in their natural state, cannot comprehend the designs and purposes of our Great Law elver, the Savior of the world. We can understand what tender care an ihfsnt must have who bag been born into this world without this care Its faculties could not be properly developed; but with it how soon ycu see the fruits of your labr. Even while it is fed upon milk it is susceptible of foy and sorrow. At an early date It will laugh; and Is always ready to cry if hurt in the least. Bat with love and tender care it will grow like a thrifty plant, and eventually become like & sturdy oak of the forest. Now, if that which Is born of the fle3h can arrive at the perfection of manhood in so short a time, what mighttthat which is born of spirit do, providing it bad the same tender care, I often think this life seems to be a school.
