The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1897-07-01

During the time that be presided rs Chiei
Magistrate of the Nation the White House was
the social center of the Capital. President
Arthur never forgot his personal dignity and
that he represented Republic which was an
object of interested scrutiny to the whole CIV
ilized world. His taste was for the graceful
things of life, and he did much, with the aid
of his sister, Mrs. John E. McElroy, to raise
the tone of official society at Washington.
Mr.. Arthur was married, in 1859, to Ellen
Lewis Herndon, daughter of Capt Herndon,
who persisted on the Inflated Central America
Mrs. Arthur, whose rare accomplishments en-
deared her to many, died suddenly in 1850,
leaving two children, Nellie and Allen. Her
portrait, encased in chaste Venetian frame,
was always kept on a table in his private
chamber, and each morning vase OF fresh
flowers was placed beside it, a loving bene-
diction from wounded heart that never
healed.
President Arthur's last official act gave to
his Administration noble end. He sent to
the Senate a message bearing date March a,
1885, nominating Ulysses S. Grant General
on the Retired List of the Army, with full
pay. The nomination was confirmed in open
session amid the applause of the crowded gal
leries
He left the White House with his health
and died at his home on Lexington
avenue, New York, in November, 1886.
Four Republican Presidents, who had filed
the office with honor, had gone to their rest.
Two of these died violent death and were
by the whole world. A third, who
was SO honored in his death as to be followed
to his last resting place by an army of citi-
zens and soldiers, SO lived as to receive hon
ors throughout the civilized world such as no
other man has received.
President Arthur, whose honored name is
added to this roll, stands alone as being the
one especial Vice-President in the history of
the Republic who, having succeeded to the

Mr. Davis was graduated from Ann Arbor he was
one OF class Of 200, Nassthe youngest, and had
neither influential friends, position or wealth
to help him, yet he was honored by his class as
their choice to deliver the grafton at the semi
centennial at tho University, June, 1887. The
gift of oratory that is his by birthright is one
OF his great charms.

Mr.. Davis was the personal choice of Presi.
dent Mckinley for his present position. In
1894 Mr.. Mckinley made tour through the
West, and Mr.. Davis was at that time Mayor of
Kansas City. The President was charmed with
Mayor Davis from the first and surrendered on
the spot to the power of his oratory and elo.
quence. He learned what Mr.. Davis was doing
for Kansas City, and he carried away with him
the memory of the young mans trenchant
logic, his sturdy Western manhood, and the
irresistible eloquence of voice that never has

AssAssIN's DEADLY WORK.

All the associations connected with Presi-
dent Garfeld's brief Administration and life
in the White House and its terrible ending
are still as fresh in the public mind as on that
fateful morning when the fearful news ran
through the streets OF Washington, 1.-THE
President is shot, He had barely grasped
the reins of Government when the assassin's
hand laid him low His enemy was a man
whose name is unworthy place in history to
be handed down TO posterity; one which
should fade from the memory of mankind and
never pass the lips of mortal.
The world knows the end, and the world
misses James A. Garfield. He occupied a
place for which the people thought him fitted,
and his Administration gave promise Of good
results A nobler service awaited him, but
in the transition, Columbia's eyes were
dimmed and her heart was left desolate
Chester A. Arthur took the oath of Office
Immediately upon the death Of President
Garfield. The friends nearest TO him know
how bis sensitive nature shrank from the
great responsibility. They know, too that
during the days when the Presidents life
hung in the balance, when the hopes of
vast and sensitive populace were swayed by
every bulletin from the sick-chamber, the
Vice-President was battling with an illness
brought upon him by over-anxiety, from
which there was no abatement save ON the
days when brighter reports came from the
President.
No President was ever called upon to take
the guidance of the Ship of State under such
trying circumstances; but President Arthur
was not the man TO falter when the hour of
duty came. With manly courage and digni-
fed presence he gathered up the reins that
had been dropped, and guided the affairs of
State with skill and discretion.
His first official duty was to issue a procla-
nation appointing the day of Gen. Garfeld's
funeral day of humiliation and mourning.
President Arthur took the office under cloud
of distrust dislike, and prejudice; but his
methods of appointment and of policy were
broad and expansive, and calculated for the
good of all, without regard to obligations of q
partisan character. DistruSt was soon sup
planted by confidence, and dissensions by
united action; order was brought out of con-
fusion, and the country was blessed by pure
and conservative Administration.

actly at 10 O'Clock the 46th Congress was adj
iourned sine die, the Senate clock having
been turned back five minutes to accomplish
it. Mr. Bassett was often called upon to
perform this act during his 40 years of serv-
ice but the turning back of the hands of time
did not prevent his entering the season Of the
"sere and yellow leaf'' From the brown
haired page he became the white-headed vet
eran.
The center of interest was at once trans
ferred to the east front of the Capitol, where
Mr.. Garfield read his address, which was de-
livered with eloquence and in a forcible man
ner. At its close Chief Justice Waite admin
istered the oath. After the congratulations
of President Hayes and the Chief Justice Mr.
Garfield turned around and took his aged
mother by the hand and kissed her, an act
that made great impression upon the audi
ence, and many heart rejoiced with her,
who had watched her son from boyhood and
poverty to manhood and the highest elevation
in the gift of Americans Mr. Garfield next
kissed his wife, then shook the hand of Mrs.
HAYES. and of all the others who came within
his reach.
In the meantime the elements were more
kind. The sun was shining brightly when
the cavalcade returned, and the festivities
ended with magnificent display Of fireworks
and the Inaugural Ball in the Museum Build
ing.
Mrs Eliza Garfield was the first Presidents
mother who lived in the White House.
This is no place to follow the intricate
thread of politics Amid all the differences
of opinion, President Garfield managed with
success to appoint Cabinet not antagonistic
to any following
James G. Blaine, of Maine, was Secretary
Of State; William Window, of Minnesota,
Secretary Of the Treasury; Robert T. Lin
coin, of Illinois, Secretary Of War; William
II. Hunt, of Louisiana, Secretary of the Navy;

The Method Of a Great Treat
ment for Weakness of Men.
Which Cured Him After Every

Painful diseases are pad enough, but
when a man is slowly wasting away with
nervous weakness, the mental forebodings
are ten times worse than the most severe
pain. There Is no let up to the mental suf.
fering day or night. Sleep is almost i'm
| possible and under such a strain men are
scarcely responsible for what they do. For
years the writer rolled and tossed on the
troubled sea of sexual weakness until II
was a question whether he had not better
take a dose of poison and thus end all his
troubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid In the shape OF a combina-
tion of medicines that not only completely
restored the general health, but enlarged
his weak, emaciated parts to natural size
and vigor, and he now declares that any
man who will take the trouble to send his
name and address may have the method OF
this wonderful treatment free. Now when
