The New President.

President Arthur's inaugural address re-
ceives its due, hearty praise. His utter
ances are in admirable spirit, and the prom
ises he makes most gratifying He is not
man profuse in pledges, and the more
weight is to be attached to the words he
does say. He gives us the right to expect
from him an honest, capable and energetic
administration That he win please all is
not looked for nor desired. He is Repub-
lican and will conduct the government in
accordance with the principles, the policy,
and the wishes of the Republican party.
For the most part the new President has
received hearty welcome. His political
opponents have been very generous in praise
and entirely considerate in their treatment
Of him. The only harsh criticism, and
much of it has been unseemly and indecent,
comes from a few journals which profess the
creed Of The Republican party, but fail TO
practice it. The course of these papers is
very generally condemned by Democrats and
Republicans. The people irrespective Of
party, are inclined to give President Arthur
a fair chance, to refrain from captions crlti-
cism, and to hold up his hands in this hour
ofEtrial. OF course Republican adminis-
tration viii in time become subject to un-
favorable comment by its opponents. But
under the painful circumstances of the oc-
casion, the general disposition is to give the
new chief magistrate fair start and an
open field.

Garfeld's Grave.


Often in his lifetime the dead President ex-
pressed a wish that his body might be buried
in Lake View Cemetery at Cleveland. wish
which the pious love of surviving kindred
holds sacred in the case Of a private citizen is
no less sacred in that of chief magistrate.
The choice falls upon spot peculiarly fitted in
mary ways to be the last resting place of
Ohios greatest statesman. Lake View cem-
etery lies upon high, wooded ridge in the
eastern outskirts of Cleveland, overlooking the
city and the blue waters of Lake Erie. 1t is
approached by the beautiful Euclid avenue,
the pride of Cleveland a street ranked by all
travellers among the finest in the world.
Within sight of the highest ground in the
cemetery is the place where the farmer boy
whom destiny had marked for great achieve
ments and great suffering first saw the lake
while ehopping wood to earn money to educate
himself, and was fitted by the sight of its rest
less shining waves to know the great world
and mingle in its large affairs. About ten
miles to the South is the site of the log cabin

THE four Presidents whose deaths have
occurred while in Office have all died not
long after the beginning of their terms.
President Harrison died on the 4th of April,
1841, precisely one month after his inaugu-
ration; President Taylor, on the 9th of July,
1850, after holding his Office little over
year and four months; President Lincoln,
April Is, 1865, in less than month and
half after his second Inauguration; and
President Garfield, September 10, 1881,
little more than six months and half from
the day when he took the oath of Office. In
the first half century from the foundation OF
our Government the Presidents all survived
their terms, and most of them lived for ma
ny years after the close Of their Presidential
careers. Washington, the first to pass away,
died in 1893, only little more than two
years after the end of his second term, but
John Adams, whose term ended in 1901,
survived for more than twenty-five years.
Jefferson, whose second term ended in
1909, died on the same day as Adams-July
A, 1926. Monroe also died on the Fourth of
July, five years later. His Presidency ex-
tended from 1917 to 1926. Madison outlived
his second term % years, dying in 1886.
John Quincy Adams vent back to Congress
after he ceased to be President in 1920, and
died from paralytic stroke received on the
floor of the house in 1S49. Van Buren, who
retired in 1S41, lived till July, 1862. Polk
died in 1849, having gone out of Office lit
tie more than two years before. Pierce,
President from 1858 to 1857, died in 1862
Buchanan, who gave place to Lincoln in
1861, died in June, 1868. Of all the II Pres
idents who have been elected, only two

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA, PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, In his inscrutable wisdom it has pleased
God to remove from us the llustrious head of the
nation, James A. Garfield, late President OF the
United States; and,
Whereas, 1t is fitting that the deep grief which
fills all hearts should manifest itself with one
cord toward the throne of Infinite Grace. and that
we should bow before the Almighty and seek hom
Him that consolation in afficton and that sane
tcation of loss which He is able and willing to
vouchsafe;
Now, therefore, in obedience to sacred dCty,
and in accordance with the desire of the people, l.
Chester A. Arthur, President of the United States
of America do hereby appoint Monday next the
26th Of September, on which day the remains OF
their last resting place on earth, TO be observed
throughout the United States as a day of humilia-
tion and mourning; and earnestly recommend all
the people to assemble on that day in their respec
tive places of divine worship there to render alike
their tribute of sorrowrul submission to the will of
Almighty God and of reverence and love for the
memory and character of our late Chief Magistrate.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States to be
affixed Done at the city of Washington this 22d
day o. September, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and eighty-one, and OF
the independence of the Uniten States the one
hundred and sixth.

senger win be locked in chilled steel casket
before the train reaches Missouri, and on

we are all deploring to-day: President Gar
