The New York Hour has the follow
ing 10 say Of President Arthur as lead
er and organizer of politics in that
state:
The elevation of Chester A. Arthur to
the presidency will be real loss to the
Republicans of this state. He was q
wise counselor and an honest. efficient
party chief. Under his management
the Republican party of the state held
its own and secured many victories
which it would have lost had il not been
for the political diplomacy of President
Arthur. He leaves no successor big
enough TO wear his shoes or sit in his
chair. The Republican factions are
very angry and are more interested
in their private quarrels than they are
in defeating the common enemy. Hence
the enforced retirement of their late
leader is great party calamity.

Vennor predicts for Great Britain a
very severe winter, preceded by cold,
wet autumn. This cold weather will
set in unusually early, and the Clyde,
Thames, and other rivers are likely to
become firmly ice locked. The heavy
snow falls this year bid fair to keep on
the other side of the Atlantic. On this
side the winter is likely to be, to very
considerable degree, open and mild. but
between the mild periods there will in
all probability be a few brief but in
tensely cold "dips," the first of these
probably occurring towards the close OF
November and entry of December.

of William Ryan, convicted two weeks
ago OF robbery in the first degree for
completely in the Glendale express rob
berry came up for hearing in the crimi-
nal court at Independence on Monday,
and has been taken under advisemeni
until Thursday. The principal grounds
upon which the motion was based was
the alleged fact that the jury was over
awcd and intimidated during the trial
by the presence Of the governor of the
state, and the arrival on the last day OF
the trial OF body Of armed men. This
is the first intimation had by the public
that any body in Missouri was afraid Of

the fact that his own life is in peril from

The public will be gratified TO learn
that the work ofrepairing and renovating
the White House is going on briskly;
that plumbers are specially busy there;
that the gas and sewer pipes are TO be

ment. There are to be new carpets, also
with new furniture, altogether costing
$4,000. Tho public received an i'm
preston during the illness of President
Garfield that the White House was not q
safe edifice to live in. Possibly the
feeling against the structure was some
what exaggerated, but there was doubt
less some truth in the criticism of the
house which was so freely uttered. No
possible amount of money is of the least
consequence when weighed against the
health and life of the Chief Executive
