Safe Robbery.

On Saturday morning the safe of Wal,
Corson was found blown open At five
o'clock in the morning when the clerk
opened the saloon he found the room fill
led with powder smoke so dense as to be
almost sutfocating The burglars had
procured tools from Horns and Isaacson' s
shops, and drilled two holes in the door
of the safe through which the powder was
inserted, sufficient to blow the door from
the hinges and clear of the safe, from
which $247 was taken. Two persons who
had stopped at the Merchants were sus-
piconed, but they had left on the morn
ming train for Sioux City, and as Mr..
Corson could not identity any OF the mon
ey it found, it was thought useless to tele-
graph for their arrest as they were. only
suspicioned Whoever done the deed I'M
derstood safe drilling, and were doubtless
experts at the business.

Mourning on Monday.

Last Monday was day appointed
for public obscrvances all over the land,
upon the solemn occasion Of the burial of
our beloved dead. Consequently the Ma
sonic order at Canton decided to make ar
engagements according to the Masonic rites
of burial. the place appointed iUviis the
Episcopal church. At $50 p. M, the
audience began to gather, and the largest
assembly ever brought together in any
building at Canton was present. At three
O'Clock about fifty masons wearing badg-
es of masonry and the customary sprig of
evergreen, marched in procession and took
the seats reserved for them. They made
an Imposing appearance and when we re-
member that our dead president was an
honored member of that order, what
could be more appropriate than that his
brothers should show their sympathy and
respect by masonic observances. Upon
the entrance of the Masons, a fine volun-
tary was rendered, Miss Mile Kingsbury
presiding at the organ. Singing by the
choir which was credit to our home tai
ent was next in order, after which Rev.
Kingsbury read appropriate text from
scripture, singing by choir, followed by an
eloquent and affecting address by Rev.
Mcbride, an eloquent prayer by Rev.
kingsbury, after which Mr.. Mcbride
closed the Masonic exercises by prayer
being chaplain of the lodge here. The
church was decorated according to Mason
ic and national ideas and showed the good
taste and patriotic spirit of our ladies in
Canton. At the east end opposite the au-
dlence, in the centre was placed the pic
ture Of Garfield, draped in black and sur
rounded by evergreen, above, the name
"GARFIELD' in evergreen, below the
maltese cross Of flowers, masonic emblem,
and the flag Of our country draped in
mourning; above the picture, emblems Of
masonry also were placed upon the back
ground the altar and organ were beautiful
ly decorated with emblems and loops of
ribbins red, white and blue, wrcaths were
hung over the wall at intervals, and ex-
quisite boquets were placed in every avail
able place, while the sides are were drapcd
with black and white. Evergreen branch
were used in decorating.
When we consider that all over the
land, similar observances were being held,
the impressivencss was doubly solemn.
We have performed the last sad duty to
our beloved president, and Ike the ever
green symbols may his memory remain in
onr hearts, and his name be placed beside
Washington and Lincoln in the years to
come

President Arthur,

The new President is now the target O.
all eyes, as to what policy he will pursue,
or rather what changcsit any he will make
in the Cabinet. Rumor, always ready,
intimates that Lincoln will be transferred
to the department of Interior, vice Kirk
wood, and Grant appointed secretary Of
war, and James will be succeeded as post
master general by his second assistant
These rumors arc possibly without foun-
dalton, as it also reported that the Presi-
dent has said he has given the matter no
consideration. 1t is to be expected that
he will surround himself with his friends
at least, as it is customary and privilege
which none can rightfullv question, and
an act which is not to be condemned if
the changes are worthy We feel confident
than any course President Arthur may
pursue will be done with an intent to do
and in the'interests of the great govern
ment, that by sad calamity he is called
upon to preside as chief executive.
The record of Arthur certainly warrants
no apprehension as to his loyalty or pur-
ity of Republican principals The mere
fact Of his being a friend Of Conkling
should not initiate against him in the
minds of those who are not personal adj
mirers Of the latter gentlemen The
ability of the famous ex-senator can not
be gainsaid, and if the real truth could
stand out alone and clear from the mum
erous surroundings, we candidly believe
Jealousy of his once great power and dig
nifty would prove the original cause for
what ultimately ended in a temporary de-
feat for his return to the Senate.
If stalwartism is brand of reflective
character, let it be 50 with weakened,
milk and water and policy REPUBLICANS.
These shifting gauzy chaps that hover
moth-like around the light, that for the
moment turns the brightest, are better
out than in the party. Itneeds stalwarts,
not only to keep the vantage ground gain
ed from the enemy, but. to put lie and
vein into the ranks that are cursed with
refugees ola broken army, that its own
corruption weakened and condemned.
A man need not have been a Grant,
Sherman, or Blaine supporterto individu-
ate his loyalty to Republicanism as true
men were allies of one, as the other, and
because choice was made for either to the
detriment Of the other, it merits no cen
sure. srsa
Of course, speculation or prophecy as to
the new Presidents course is unwise, but
Tor ono, we firmly believe that no prede-
cessor ever took the solemn oath he has,
with more sincerity or more earnest inten-
lion to perform honestly the burdensome
and unenviable duties of the President Of
The United States, than did Chester A.
