He immediately began his inaogaral address, as follows: TUI INAUGURAL ADlORtSd.

Ladies and Tbeosnal time for the inaogoration hav.cg long nee passed, delayed as it hss been, by a contest that has produced some bitterness cf feeling, all will recogQ 2i the propriety of brevity opon this occasion, and the impropriety of utterances 1 calculated to pro'ong or increase ammo-i lies. The present should not be employed to keep open election wounds. It is belter thess be healed as speedily as possible, that the people of our Ate may again ad drees themselves, undisturbed and on- harnessed by politics, to the euccaeefal development of oar VIGOROUS YOUNG COMMON WIALT1I and to secure their share of the wealth which a beneficent Providence hss so boon- teon-ly placed witnin its bordere. Oar millions of ecreo of timber growing opon a fertile soil underlying which are ban-1 dreds of thousands of acres of the choicest steam, gas and coking coals, an undetermined and possibly unlimited quantity petroleum aad vast mineral Deposits, all in the infancy of development, present a most inviting field for both capital and labor. And whilst we welcome capital, and promise it and profitable investment, it is iqually needful that by wise laws fairly administered, lend a helpful! hand to labor, aad encourage those earn tbeir bread by the sweat of their to make their homes among us Labor sbuild cot be regarded as the legitimate prey of avaracions selfishness, ror denied any safeguaid which tne laws can give to secure to it an iqnitable portion of 1 the fruits of oar common industry and ter prise.

TAXATION, through the operations of our monopolybreeding and class-enriching tariff the necessity for making our local tax burthens as light as possible. Bat I do not desire to speak at greater length upon these geoeral subjects. I am arg by a seose of public duty to a more important matter, oae that concerns the whole people, and which it is particolariy appropriate that I should discuss on this occasion Uader a republican form of government each as ours, where all the powers reside with the people, who, throrgh the ballot, choose their own pnb lie eerv and thasdictate public policy tn(J direct and control their own governmental affairs, all mast recognize the supreme importance of free, honest sud nopnrehased electives.

and the danger to oar political institutions from crimes against the suffrage. Isolated cssee of illegal and uaoroper voting occur despite the greatest care and watchfulness. Bat these occasional crimes against honeet elections do not seriously eni can not really endaogsr, our political system. It is ia orgaoiz id fraud, in systematixsd effoits by political organizations in close and pi sola! Slates. and threoghont the nation, to carry elections by irand and putchase, that positive peril aad imminent danger to onr form of government exists.

The popular tenderer to adopt the meth ads of the looeys and the Dudleys for the achievement of pirty victory is a menace to Lee institutions aad fres government that challenges the thoughtful attention and serious consideration of patriotic citir.sos of all parties. Tne property and perscnal liberty of the cit zeo should be protected and held sacred tn the eyes of the law and of the people, bat it is VASTLY MORK IMPORTANT, looking to the broader consequences, that the power of his vote, and its free exercise, should be safely guarded and kept iav.o late. This constitutes the basal structure oi our government, and upon it rests our i ure diticAl system as designed and faeh onset by the fathers of the republic With oat a tree ballot we can not have a free government. Without an honest ballot ws catmt have an honest government. We may as well exp c' wholesome, perfect fruit and grain from tainted seed or defective gsrms as good aad hon1 it government from unfair, corrupt electioni.

iviog cardinal principles in mind, considering tho cloud that buog over our S'a'e eleciiocs, considering the charges of illegal voting and general corruption preferred by the people and the press of the Stats, and now in the light of what has been clearly proven, considering also the finding of the oint commit toe and the final decision of the joint aaeembly, let all the people say whether or not the contest was hooeetly or wisely undertaken, whether or not this successful resistance to an assault on the parity of the ballot in Weet irgtaia was cot AX eoj lined by a Una regard for the rights of tbfi H)pUi whether or not, I rightfully nod as the choice of a majority of the of thin State stand about to as nr me the duties of the office of Got-, parties who conceived, planned and executed, so far as they were able, the scheme of fraudulent voting in certain counties so nearly achieved success, i to discredit the character ot the tribunal that has righted the wrong they attempted upon the people, endeevor to ease their conscience by clamorous charges of politi- cal burglary and theft; and through their newspiper organs seek to divert the attention ci their own ptrty followers from the proven against them by the testimony taken and filed. Bat this testimony remains. It will stand against them as long as the records of this contest shall be preserved, sad npin it I coofifeitly the jodg ment of the people of West Virginia, as I sought and ob ained that of the highest trtbanal, to which, under the Oinsntntioo and laws of the State, I conld eppsal. What we have eadared and exploded in thus contest totals for a Might in with the preservation of the political rights of the petple through an uncorrop- ha i lot Fellow citizens, upon assuming the responsibilities of office, allow ms in con-I elusion to sav, that every duty will be performed as it may seem best for the general good, with the assistance of other State officers in the executive department, and of the Legislature, in making only! needed and economical appropriations, I shall endeavor to MAINTAIN THE FINANCES of the State in ae satisfactory a condition as they are now under the faitklal and booist administration of my predecaesor It will be my highest aim at all times to aee that all the laws are enforced impartially to the end that all the people, in every walk of life, may be protected in every right, and have fqnal opportunities and privileges under the government of ooi State. zm I am ready to take the oath of office, and, malice toward none and chart- ty to enter upon the discharge of my duties.

i Throughout the reading the address the closest attention was paid. Thera was a tendency to applaud in several pUcta, bat the addreen was not interrupted. As be closed with the declaration of his readineee to the oath of office the speaker turned and Judge English, of the Supreme Conit, extended the well worn btble, on which so many solemn oaths have been taken.

The guards fired a salute and again the cheers resounded.

Dll- HALL. L1UKL SLIT. The la the Suit Against Hie New York All la. Bl'FKALO, N. February evidence in the libel suit of Itiv.

Dr. Ball for $25,000 damages against the New Yotk Evening Post, growing out of the presidential campaign of 1834, was closed today, and counsel bfgan summing up. Mr. Bill bad attacked Mr. personal character publicly, and the Evening Putt bad paid its respects to Dr.

Ball for having done so. John G. Milbuin first summed up for the defense. He, for one, regretted, end many good men would regret, that this case had ever come to trial. After Mr.

Cleveland bad administered the affairs of this country with ability and manliness, and bad to himself a wife who not only had the admiration but the affection of the country for the dignity, courtesy and simplicity with which she presided over the White House, it was to bo regretted that the old fielings of 1884 were to be raked over by ibis minister in his greed for money. It would be wrong to Mr. Cleveland to go deep into matters gone by, but the veil had been lifted a little. Now this action was brought for defamation of character to get money, when it appeals that be bas not suffered at all in either character or purse. What an opportunity for a minister to be gracious and say that, as the campaign was past and the heat of it over, he would let the matter drop But uo; he must drag into court and rake up thinks so painful to many.

Mr. Millburn then called attention to reference made by Mr. Moot is bis opening address totbe effect that Mr. Parnell bad received £5.000 damages from the London Timet tor damages in a libel suit. But, argued Mr.

Millburu, in this case, the Evening Pott, was rot a libeler. It was Dr. Ball who was 11 the conntrp with his letters, and the Putt was trying to stiike down this libeler wbo was endeavoring to destroy the character of the Governor of the of New York. A minister should not preach the gospel one day in the week and play the part of a detective the other six. This afternoon Mr.

Moot began bis summons for the prosecution. Cuke Workers Fix Waxen.

Ann R. Watkins, Baltimore, Md. A SWOLLEN RIVER. fHK BIO RISK IN THK WILLIAMBTTK FLOODS ORBGON. Bridges Swept Away aid People Oompelled to Leave Their River Higher Than for Twenty Yean.

POVTLAKD, Ou, February morning the river at this point is at a standstill, and it is hoped that no farther rir-e will occur. At Corvallis and Oregon City the river is reported falling at the rate of one inch per hour. Tbe water in tbe city of Portland is the highest known sicca 1870, but so far it ha9 been confined to a comparatively email district, and although causing inocb inconvenience has occasioned no terions damage. Tbs water last night was 28 feet above high water mark, atd extended four squares back from the river front to Third street. The flood baa been caused by the simultaneous rising of the Williamette and Columbia rivers, which are usually at tbe high stage several mouths apart.

Tbe main flood has been in the Williamette, bat the nnnenal stage of water in the Colombia prevented tbe former river running off as it usually does. More serious damage has been occasioned throughout tbe Williamette valley to an here. Bridges wi re carried away at Balem and Oregon City and rnony email bouses hnilt near the river wero washed away. Communication with these poiu ij very uncertain and the fall extent of the damage 1h a matter ofcoDjeclnre. A large part of tbe territory flooded in Portland is low giouod, bnt occupied by buildings, bet in the business streets submerged where tbe lower stories of number of block are flooded.

Tbe subii dtme of the water may reveal unexpected damage to tbe strnctors as a strong carrent is running. Tbe greatest danger apprehended is that one or both of tbe bridges crossing the Williamette structures be carried away by the high water and drift wood. Bhoald this happen it is feared that tbe steel railroad bridge below would iro ont os tho stage of water is too bigh to permit of any drill passing under it. Aside from these contingencies the real damage to the city will be trifling. The Filled With Water.

This held up only a short time and reports this morning (We to tbe effect that a beavv wind storm in tbe Cascade division blew down many large pine trees, breaking the wires and disorganizing seivic.

CAMPBELL AGAINST AN OIL LEASER. A Case Thu Wdl of Interest to Many Persons in This Section of the State-Oil Men Look Eagerly for the Result.

Special Telegram to the Register, pABKKBSRi'Ba, February very important suit will be brought in tbe Cir- cuit Coart of county at the next term cf court before Judge Boreiasn by Dr. D. Campbell, of this city, through his attorney, V. B. Archer.

It is a suit which will intciest every tuan in this part of the State wha boa rented his land for oil tests, and tbe remit of the suit will be of great importance in securing for land owners their rights againet oil operators who do not live up to the made in their leases. On the 231 of April, 1887, T. N. Birnsdale, a lirge oil prodocer of Pennsylvania, leased from Dr. M.

Campbell his farm of about 270 acres in county fur the purpose ot making an oil teet thereon, and agreed to pat down a teet well within six months, and to beginoperators within sixty days. If he failed to begin operations within six'y days he was to pay Dr. Campbell (2b per month until the test well ehould be commenced. Tbe leaee contains tbe neuil cUnse inserted in Penn sylrania oil leases. a failure to complete one well or to moke such payments at soch place as above mentioned renders tbis leese nnll and void and to remain without fleet between the parties thereto.1’ Mr.

Barnsdale, acting presumably under the impression that he could bimeelf forfeit theltaea without any effort to develop the territory, not only failed fo put down tbe test well but has alto failed to pay any part of tbe rent stipulated in the leaee. As stated above papers are now being prepared for the recovery of the unpaid rent. A similar ra was adjudicated on November 11, 1889, by tbeSopreme Court cf Pennsylvania in tbe esse of Wills v. itnrsl Gas Company, wherein it was decided that: Under a lease providing that breach of coreneots by the lrsste work absolute forfeiture of tbis grant or base, and the privileges or easements hereby given shall absolutely cease, determine and become null and the lessee cinnot terminate tbe ieaseby breach of covenant and tbe lessor may or may not terminate it on such breach, at his Dr. lease is said to be similar in all respects to tbe lease construed in tbis clause by tbe Supreme Court of Pennsylvania and it is claimed that be is entitled to (25 per month alter the expiration of 60 days after tbe lease until ecch tea: well is pat down in accordance with the contract.

The great importance of tbis snit lies in the fact that perhaps seventy five per cent of this part of tbe State is with oil leases nearly all of which are counterparts of tbe leaee given by Dr. Campbell. Mr. Archer is of tbe opinion that all who have executed are entitled to recover whatever rent is mentioned in tbe loves, and that if tbe leases are enfotcsd the lessee will be ccmpelltd to teet the terr tory or make a compromise con-1 tract wilh the by wb'cb he can lie legally released from the obligation of bis contract. PERILS OF THE MILLS.

Cieatile still held the tongs when tbe iron left bis body, and as be saw tbe second piece leaving tbe furnace bad sufficient presence of mind to raise tbe tonge and ward it off, else this too would have pierced bis body.
