BRIGHT AND CHEERFUL.

BRIGHT AND CHEERFUL.
Washington. July 14.-There is
marked changed in the scene about the
executive mansion this morning COM
pared with that which prevailed contin-
uously since the president was wounded.
Bright and cheerful expressions have
taken the place of sad and nournful
ones, and encouraging statements are
made by the attending physicians rela-
tive to the ultimate recovery of the
president have the effect of relieving the
terrible anxiety which has been prev
elent for nearly fortnight. Heretofore
the attaches of the white house, as well
as those who were there on business in
connection with the presidents illness,
and those call to make personal inquiry,
might have been observed in groups con-
versing in monotones. while to-day the
sadness occasioned by the attempted as.
sassination, and the fears which haye
been entertained that his recovery was
doubtful, have given place to brighter
hopes, and the general drift Of conversa-
tion is more cheering and pleasant, indi-
eating the great satisfaction which pre-
walls regarding the presidents condition.
And specially was this noticeable in the
expressions of members of the cabinet
leaving the white house this morning
each of whom made pleasing and salts
factory replies to all interroeations re
garding the presidents condition. The
day is bright and pleasant, with a yer,
refreshing breeze, the result of heavy
shower which occurred last night. The
guards are still kept about the white
house grounds on patrol duty, and vii
probably be continued till the president
is able to be about. The refrigeratinl
apparatus, under the supervision of Maj
Powell, is practically finished, and al
noise caused by its construction ha
ceased, leaving tho mansion and su,
roundings perfectly quiet and pleasant
GETTING BETTER RIGHT ALONG.
Washington, July 14.-The presiden
is still better to-day and improving. Til
doctors all agree that he is getting be
ter right along and that the danger
about past. He had better appetit
to-day and has taken more food. Ever

A Wisconsin paper says that farmer
by the name of Cyrus Bunker, n few
miles froml Waupun, gave permission to
post advertisements on his barn, and
subsequently signed card recommends
ing them to some of his neighbors. Said
card turned out to be an order for sever
oil hundred dollars worth of goods.
The Chicago Journal, an anti-stalwart
paper, recurs to the Albany hotel transom
scandal to say: "The only effect of that
silly and wicked scandal against ex-
Senator Platt was to disgust all decent
people. 1t was generally discredited at
the. time, and now everybody regards it
as the base invention of malicious
enemies"
Some wag in Chicago mailed letters
to q score Of business men telling them
to look out for the man who would visit
their houses that evening to see their
wives, and twenty business men surpris-
ed their wives by coming home two hours
ahead of time. They oil begged pardon
for the intrusion and promised never to
do SO again. The apologies were accept
ed and placed on file.
The Omaha Herald, which is opposed
to capital punishment, says the murder
of president differs from the murder
of a private individual. 1t involves the
ultimate murder OF the government and
the institutions under it, which it puts
in peril, and the law should recognize
the fact. The Herald does not believe
in the death penalty for ordinary mur.
derers; for reasons intimated it does be-
ieve in the swift determination of po-
ltfcal assassins on the supreme ground
of general welfare and safety.

The Pelican Tallev Right of Way.

The st. Paul & Manitoba Railway company.
as was stated in the GLOBE about two months
ago, is building branch railroad from Car
Isle, near Fergus Falls, up the Pelican river
valley to Pelican Rapids in the northwestern
township of Otter Tail county, distance of
about twenty-five miles. The route is, it APP
pears, claimed for the Northern Pacific COM
pany by a branch organization called the
Northern Pacific, Fergus Falls & Black Hills
Railroad company, and the grade of the
road which the Manitoba company is
building does not agree with the grade upon
which the Northern Pacific proposes to build,
while the proposed line of the latter will cross
the others road several times. The Northern

having manifested an intention to go ahead
without regard to the Manitoba grade, an in

VICE PRESIDENT ARTHUR is just now
in receipt of most virulent abuse from the
newspaper organs of the Republican par
ty. They pronounce him totally unfit for
the position of President-narrow- mind
ed, tool of Conkling, and thoroughly
dishonest personally and politically. If
these newspapers would but turn back to
their own files during the tendency of
the Presidential election they would find
that Arthur was then vouched for as a
peculiarly virtuous and exemplary man,
admirably fitted for the highest Office in
the gift of the people. The papers in
question were either classifying then or
they are now, for man cannot retro
grade in the course of a brief year
from a great statesman anG noble speci-
men of manhood to that of pothouse
politician and dishonest rogue.

THE QUESTION OF SUCCESSION.

The GLOBE was in error few days ago
in announcing that the chief justice of
the supreme court might, in a certain
contingency, be called upon to exercise
the duties of President of the United
States. The mistake was not an unnat-
ural one The constitution, as originally
adopted, provided that GIN case of the
removal of the President from Office, or
of his death, resignation or inability to
discharge the powers and duties of the
said office, the same shall devolve on the
Vice President, and the Congress may by
law provide for the case Of removal,
death, resignation or inability both of the
President and Vice President, declaring
and such officer shall act accordingly,
until the disability be removed, or a
President shall be elected" In pur-
suance of this provision of the constitu-
ton Congress did, in 1892, pass law de-
fning the succession, and in that
law provided that in the event of the
death, resignation or inability of the
President and Vice President, the duties
of the chief magistrate should devolve
upon the President of the Senate; if there
should be no such officer the speaker of
the House should succeed, and if there
was no speaker, that the chief justice
should assume control of the powers and
duties of the office. This law was re-
pealed, as far as the last clause was con-
cerned, by the revision of 1873, and there
is now no legal authority by which the
chief justice could assume direction.
Under the present law the President of
the Senate would become President of the
United States ad interim in case of the
death CT disability of both the President
and Vice President, but the secretary of
state is required to call special election
to fill the vacancy at the earliest
possible day. 1t does not neces-
sarily follow, therefore, that the Presi-
dent of the Senate or the speaker of the
House would fill out the unexpired
term of the President elected by the peo-
pie. He would be only an 0d interim Of
icer
Within the past ten days this question
has excited a good deal of discussion.
Happily there is now more hope of the
Presidents recovery, so that such con-
tingency may not arise. But it would be
wise on tie part of Congress, in view of
the possibility of vacancies in the four
offices named, to provide some means by
which it shall be impossible that va
cancy can occur in the office of President
If Garfield and Arthur should both die
before. the meeting of Congress there
would be an absolute vacancy in the of
flee under our present laws. Such risk
should not be run, and Congress should
provide against it,

The only remarkable thing about this
conversation Is the implied ignorance of
the President of the fact that Catholics
as well as Protestants are interested in his
we'll being. Difference in religious faith
is no bar against sympathy in great
national calamity. There are no more
loyal subjects of the republic than those
who profess the Catholic religion. Mr..
Garfield ought to know the fact, and his
surprise at the fact that the Catholics
sympathized with his condition is the only
reflection thus far cast upon his intelli-

Illinois Wheat Crop.

Secretary Young, of the State board of i'm
migration, is IN receipt of an advance sum-
mary of the report of Secretary Fisher, of the
Illinois department of agriculture, showing
the condition of the wheat crop of that State,
July 1. For convenience of comparison the
counties of the State are grouped in three d.
visions, i. e., Northern, Central and Southern.
The Northern division is composed of twenty
nine counties, in which the acreage of fall
plowed, or winter wheat, is given at CLOSE
acres In this division the prospect May
was for yield of Is per cent. of an average
yield per acre. June 3 the condition was re-
duced to 63 per cent, and July the prospects
indicated only 81 per cent. OF an average yield
per acre. The Central division comprises
thirty five counties, and nearly one-half of the
wheat area of the State. The fall wheat plow-
ing in this division is l ,499,SS6 acres. Nav
the reports indicated but SO per cent of an av-
erage yield per acre, which was further reduced
the succeeding two months, SO that June the
promise was only for 40 per cent, and July
for only 40 per cent Nearly half of the area
in this division seeded in the fall was plowed
III the spring, SO that it is esti-
mated that there will be less than one
third of an average yield in the division. The
southern division embraces thirty-four OF the
leading wheat counties of the State. There
was in this division but small proportion
10 per cent winter killed, the principal injury
being attributable to insects. May LIST the
prospects Indicated so per cent. of an average
yield per acre, which, by the June and July re-
ports, confirmed by the results of the harvest,
had been reduced to 40 per cent. The quality
of the wheat harvested is only fair to good.
There were ,4SS,659 acres SEEDED in this di-
vision. The aggregate seeding for the State is
2 ,949, 533 acres, and the yield less than 80 per
cent. OF an average, which is not very fat
ing showing.
