Inaugural Address Of President
Arthur.

"For the fourth time In the history
of the republic its Chief Magistrate
has been removed by death. All
hearts are filed with grief and horror
at the lideous crime which has dark
ened our land, and the memory Of the
murdered President, his protracted
sulferings, his uuyielding fortitude,
the example and achievements of his
life, and the pathos Of his death will
forever i)lumine the pages Of our his
tory. For the fourth time the officer
elected by the, people and ordained by
the Constitution to ill a vacancy so
created, is cslled to assume the Execu-
tive Chair.
"The wisdom of our fathers in fore
seeing even the most dire possibilities
made sure that the Government should
never be impcriled because oftbe un-
certainties Of human life Men may
die. but the fabrics Of out free institu-
tions will remain unshakcn. No high.
er or more assuring proof could exist
Of the strength and pcrmanency Of the
popular Governmental than the fact that
though the chosen Of the people be
struck down his constitutional success
sor is peacefully installed. without
shock or strain, except the sorrow
which mourns the bereavement.
"All the noble aspirations oil my la
mentcd predecessor, which fonnd ex-
preston in his life, the measures de-
vised and suggested during his brief
administration to correct abuse and
enforce economy, to advance prosperi-
ty and promote the general welfare;
t'sinsure domestic security and main.
tain friendly and honorable relations
with the nations OF the earth, will be
garnered in the hearts of the people,
and it will be my earnest endeavor to |
profit and to see that the Nation shall
profit by his example and experience.
Prosperity blesses our country. Our
fiscal policy is fixed by law. as well.
grounded and generally approved. No
threatening Issue mars our foreign in.
tcrconrse, and the wisdom, integrity
and thrift Of our people may be trustee,
to continue undistnrbcd.
"The present assured career dfpcace,
tranquility and wellard; the gloom
and anxiety. which has eDshrouded
the country must make rcposc especial
ly welcome now. No demand for
speedy legislation has been heart; no
adequate occasion is apparent for an
uupsual session Of Congress. The
Constitution defines the function and
powers of the Executive as clearly as
as. those Of either OF the departments
of Government, and he must answer
Tor the Just exercises Of the discretion
it permits in the performa,e Of the
duties it imposes. Summoned to
these high duties and responsibilities,
and profoundly conscious OF their
magnitude aud gravity, assume the
trust imposed by the Constitution. re-
lying for aid on divine guidance, and
thesviltue, patriotism and intelligence
of the American people"

The Spring Campaign.

The Republican State Central commit

to the Chairman, Secretary and members
of the Republican County committees:
GENTLEMEN: Following the recent
decisive victory in Michigan, and in the
country, for the party progress, comes
another canvass of our state. NOmina-
lions have been made for a Justice of
the Supreme Court and for two Regents
of the University. The Hon. Isaac
MarstOn has become familiar to our
people as a jurist, patriotic citizen and
a just Judge. The Hon. James f. Joy
has been SO identified with the best in
terests of the state for many years that
a history of the development of the ma
terial interests would necessarily con-
tain an epitOme of his active business
life. As the war Governor of Michigan
the name of Austin Blair is an honOred
word in nearly every home of the state.
These honOred names are, by the Repub-
licans of Michigan, placed in nomination
for your suffrages. Do not reley upon
prestige of our recent great victory. Do
not rely upon the fact that our state is

The approaching election is import
ant. The high reputation which the
Michigan judiciary has achieved, the
vast Interests of her people in a pure
and fearless adjudication of all ques-
lions submitted to our courts, the repu-
tatlOn OF our noble University, although
the growth of little more than a genera
ton, the vital interests of education
all of these things must be remembered.
and the standard Of our judiciary and
OF our University must not be lowered.
The continuance of ward, township and
county organizations for work. not only
now, but in the future, is deemed to be
very important.
All local nominations for the spring
elections should be made early and a
united effort should be put forth to elect
our candidates.
1t is to be hoped that our people all
over the state will take an active inter
est in the approaching election, and the
Importance of going to the polls and
voting Republican ticket will be
strongly impressed upon them.
Very truly yours,

The Brush electric Light company of
Cleveland, o., has manufactured power
full electric light for the British navy. 1t
has one hundred thousand candle illum-
mating powerfully times greater than
en- ordinary electric lamp for street
lighting, and it is believed to be the
largest and most powerful light ever
made with human hands. 1t is designed
to be used in night attacks and to scru-
tinize the sea for torpedOs. A forty
horse power engine is required to pro-
duce the light. The carbons used are
two inches and half thick. The in
tensity of the heat generated between
the carbon points, is five hundred th0us-
and degrees -One-nineteenth the esti-
mated heat of the sun. 1t is calculated
that with an ordinary reflector, beam
of light can be cast 50 powerful that a
person fifteen miles away can see to

General Grant says he is as old as he

Army of the Potomac. 1t is not years so

friend of President Garfield recently
called upon him and asked for certain
office in Ohio. The gentleman who
made this request befriended Garfield iii
his youth, and has been his long time
friend. The Presidents reply is i'm
portant as settling the question whether
he will make any removals among the
minor classes of officers. He said the
office was not now vacant, and that he
should make no removals simply to make
places for somebody else, in cases where
the incumbent satisfactorily discharged
his duties.

PRESIDENT HAYES sent ten veto mes
sages to the House during his term. His
first message of this character was the
veto of the silver bill, Feb. %, 1876, and
it was the only vetoed measure that was
passed despite the Presidents disapprO-
val. The other vetoes were a bill to hold
a special term of the United States court
in Mississippi to try alleged timber
thieves. March 6, 1876; to restrict Chinese
immigration, March 1, 1879; the army
appropriation bill, with ''the troops at
the polls" rider. April 20, 1879; the mill
tary interference bill, May II, 1879, the
judicial appropriation bill, emitting the
pay of United States deputy marshalls.
and also the special appropriation to pay
marshalls, June 80, 1879; the apprOpria-
tion bill, with rider requiring election
marshals, to be selected from all politi-
cal parties, May 4, 1880; the special bill
regulating the appointment of deputy
marshalls June 10, 1880, and, lastly. the
funding bill just prior to the final ad-
journment of the last Congress. With
the exception of three-the silver bill,
Chinese bill, and funding bill, all those
vetoed were partisan measures. If vo-
toes are any indications of backbone, y

quired to enter into a contest with Con-
