B' NJ. Theirs, first president of the
French Republic, died at his residence
in Paris, Monday afternoon, of apoplexy.
In the morning he was apparently
in good health but was stricken
down about noon, dying about six
O'Clock. His death creates profound
sensation in France, and is regarded as a
national calamity, Oh account of the po-
litical effect in the present crisis. The
conservatives think this event will give
them the victory in the approaching

~ Congressman Joyce is credited
with saying that "he has talked with
great many mem about the presidents
Southern policy and he is yet to find one
who is ableto tell him what other course
could have been followed with any hope
of success" This certainly is the feel
ing with great proportion of the citi-
zcns of Vermont. The people are ac-
quiescent, willing that the experiment
should be tried and hoping for favora-
BILE results, rather because there was no
other alternative than because the poll
cy pleases them. Some call their feel
ings in this regard approval, and others,
while holding about the same views, ex-
press themselves in doubt about the re-
suit, but hope for the best. But all alike
admit there was no other way.
II The fifth annual congress of wo-
men is to meet at Cleveland, Ohio, Oc-
tober 10, IL and ~, for the discussion
of questions of practical Importance to
the sex. Papers are announced upon
subjects arrayed under the heads of sci
ence, literature, education, industries,
charities and art. Perhaps this method
of laboring for the amelioration of the
condition of women, by disseminating
valuable information, is more practical
BILE and likely to be more successful
than efforts that are being made through
the suffrage reform. AS an abstract
right, the privilege of citizenship TO the
extent of access to the ballot box and
participation in the processes of the
government may belong to woman as
well as to man; but it is not likely that
it will be conceded, or demanded by
the mass of women, at present: and if
it were, it is doubtful whether any very
great practical benefit TO women as a
class would result from it. But the
discussion of questions calculated to
educate women, open up new kinds of
employment for them, and raise the
standards in those to which they IRE ac-
customed, promises valuable results
and should be encouraged.

ER@ John w. Young, the favorite son
of the deceased Brigham, is said to be
man of intelligence and liberal views.
Whether he will succeed TO the presi-
dency of the church ornot is an unsettled
question. There is much bitter feeling
among the Mormon leaders against the
Young family, and a contest may arise
for the succession. If so, ii will require
a strong man and great wisdom to pre-
vent the breaking up of the church.

~ The monthly statement of the
public debt shows that it has been re-
duced within the last year about S39,
712,162, while the treasury holds
more coin by 81, 1892 $3.50 and about
eight and one half millions more curren-
cy. The additions to the bonded debt
amount to about five and a quarter
millions. This steady reduction Of our
indebtedness is certainly an encourag-
ing feature, but the burden is still heavy
and must be for long time TO come.

NEW ELECTION FOR PRESIDENT.

NOW A FAvoBITE IDEA OF THE DEMoCRATs-A
GREAT RESPONSIBILITY RESTING on THE PARTY
WHICH FORCES 1T.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-Just now the favorite So
luton of the Presidential complication is to hold
new election next Fall, and to allow the President
Of the Senate, whoever he may be after the 4th OF
March. to administer the office ad interim. This is
TO be brought about according to the gossip of the
Hobbies and cloak rooms at the Capitol by the Dem
ocras in the debating the questions arising
in the progress of the count until the clock strikes
the hour of noon March A. when it is claimed the
whole operation of counting the votes necessarily
ceases Then the Senate is TO proceed at once to
swear in its new members and elect a presiding
officer. By the time this is accomplished message
will be received from the Secretary of State an
nouncing that there is a vacancy in the office OF
President of the United States The newly-elected
President of the Senate will take the oath OF office
before the Chief Justice, who will of course be in
waiting with his gown on, and he will then jump
into a carriage, drive to the White House, and set
the wheels of Government in motion.
The feasibility of this method of settlement is as
serted by the Democrats who say that unless the Re-
publicans should again set up the abandoned claim
of the right of the President of the Senate to count
the votes there is no way in which declaration OF
the election of Hayes can be arrived at against their
opposition. The Senate has no rules to limit debate
and now that the Joint rules are abrogated, there
would be nothing, they think to keep them from
talking day and night to kill time and
prevent the completion of the count. Ii
may well be doubted, however, whether the
Democrats would be willing to take the
odium of resOrtlng to proceeding almost revolu-
ionary in order to gain the opportunity of making
another fight before the people next Fall. The
party which forces election will be held re-
sponsible for the continued prostraion of business
which another political campaign would involve.
The business men of the country will be likely
to punish it severely by refusing it their support.
Should the Democrats decide, however, to take the
risk it is a question whether they could carry out
the programme. At present most Republicans ap-
pear to think they could but there are some who
say that manifest attempt to delay the count SO as
to prevent its completion would be a violation OF
the mandatory provision Of the Constitution that
"the votes shall be counted" and that nasmuch as
the Constitution overrides all rules 1T would be the
duty of the President of the Senate to interfere,
check the debate and order the count to proceed.
This is a matter which will be a good deal talked
about during the next few days. AT first sight
there would certainly seem to be strong argument
in favor of a power existing somewhere to hinder a
minority Of Senators from carrying through con
spracy TO break up the election of a President OF
the United States.
