There is some disposition yet to blame the
White House surgeons for not probing for the
bullet Immediately after the shooting in order
To extract it, or ascertain its whereabouts: and
the theory is held in the same quarters that had
this been done. the Presidents life might have
been saved The answer to this. on behalf of
the surgeons, is that it would not have been
possible TO follow the actual course OF the ball.

A Public DUTY.

President Garfield died poor man. The value
of everything he possessed in the way of prop
erty would not defray one-half the enormously
heavy expenses which accumulated during his
Illness IL there is one duty palmer than an
other in this sorrOwfu affair it is that the widow
and children of the late President should be
amply provided for This lis the sentiment of the
people. The failure comfort of this family
should not be left to uncertainty 1t
seems to be commonly expected that Congress
will appropriate money for the payment of all
the expenses incurred in the effort to save the
Presidents life. and that the four years salary
will also probably be voted to his family This
is taking too much for granted. 1t is as uncer
tain any fuure event can be what view Con-
gress may take of its duty in the premises. The
subscription fund for Mrs. Garfield is still open.
and it offers everybody chance to contribute.
The family ought to be provided with a
fund. the interest of which would give
them comfortable income. PRESIDENT Garfield
gave all the best years of his life to the service
of his country freely. unselfshly and devOtedly.
With his great ability he could have easily
amassed fortune with much less labor than he
gave to the people; and it is incumbent upon
the nation he served faithfully to see that his
children have the means of education and that
his widow shall be surrounded with the COM
forts of life. 1t is sincerely to be
hoped that Congress will its duty
in regard to this matter i'm the true
light; that it will without hesitation, vote
tOreeye the family of the dead President of the
weight of debt incurred in the effort to save his
life While it was still possible to prevent a
fatal termination of the case the people with
one voice demanded that no expense calculated
to prolGng that valuable life or to ease he pain
OF the sufferer he spared. Now that he is dead
the people insist that those he loved so freely
shall be well provided for.

President Artbur's Inaugural.

President Arthurs inaugural address strikes
the public with favor Though brief. it seems to
leave nothing unsad that would have added to
theforce ofthe document. Distinct and unambig-
uOus in necessary illusions to state affairs, the
message indicates the ruler. who accepts the
grayest responsibilities that this great nation
can impose, with fearless purpose to meet the du-
ties of the exalted station. This message the first
state paper of the new President will strengthen
the growing feeling of public confidence in him.
The feature OF it which most largely inspires
this confidence is the solemn assurance given of
his purpose TO carry out the measures Of public
policy which President Garfield during his brief
administration of the Executive Office formu-
lated or suggested. ''All the noble aspirations :"
President Arthur saws. (which found expression
in his fe-the measures devised and suggested
during his brief administration to cor
rect abuses and enforce economy, to advance
prosperity and promote the general welfare. to
insure domestic security and maintain friendly
and honorable relations with the nations of the
earth-will be garnered in the hearts of the peO-
pie, and it will be my earnest eHdeayor to profit,
and to see that the nation shall profit, by his ex
ample and experience"
President Arthur's firm faith in the stability of
republican government finds expression in his
message. He fttingly aludes to his own peace
full and quiet installation as an evidence of the
strength and permanence of popular govern
ment. After the trying and exciting ordeal
through which the country has passed, wrapped
"a it now is in sorrow and gloom, the President
appreciates the fact that quiet and repOse will
b. welcome tothe people, therefore, he indicates
to them that he will not call special session of
Congress. particularly as there are no questions
demanding Legislative consideration.
1t was a small group that witnessed the inau-
guratiOn- The brief ceremonies were solemn
and impressive. Within the same building and
not far distant rested TIE remains of him who
had but a few months ago been indicted into
the presidential office under such happy prom
iSinS auspices Thought of the dead President
seemed to be upon every mind and the gloom
which pervaded the Capitol naturally cast a
soicinnity over the inaugural party. But it may
b. that the administration commenced under
such gloomy auspices NAV have a contrasting
happy and successful future
