The presidents physicians have
disgraced the newspapers. They re
ported him dying last Saturday and
the papers have been preparing the
public for the sad occurrence, and
just as they had got all things in
readiness, 10, a change! 1t appears
the doctors do rot know what is
the matter with the patient and
while they were cogitating over
cold air generators and fathoming
the mysteries of the lilac fossa, the
stomach suddenly gave way with a
crash that made old Bliss Jump

and then the parotid gland com

rance, and they all signed the pres

the turning point. His pulse went

Avalanche: There is

Avalanche: There is a disease
prevailing among southern farmers,
known by the name of "land- poor"
which deserves more attention from
the doctors of political economy.
This disease prevails to some extent
in the north also. But it is more
prevalent in the south than else
where. The most prosperous sec
tion in the north are entirely free
from this disease, where each. farm
er owns no more land than he can
cultivate in the best manner. The
county and the state would thrive,
and the individual farmer would be
richer, if he would give away por-
ton of his half-culJivated fields, and
devote his labor to a more thor
ough cultivation of the remainder.
This proposition applies with still
greater force to the farmer who is
kept poor by the ownership of acres
of unimproved lands.-[ Avalanche

II the president should die the
question that would cause the
greatest excitement would be the or
ganization of the senate. The dem
ocrats can orgsnize it if they see
proper and elect a president pro
tenn, and then let in the New York
senators. Indeed, it is claimed
that they must organize before they
do any other business and there is
consequently no help for it. If
they do take such a course,of course,
the republicans will raise the "brig-
adler" cry again. If the president
survives the question will probably

Bishop Ouintard.

London, Aug. 29.-The Bishop
OF Tennessee, preaching at Seaford
Sunday, referred to the spirit
abroad in the world to put down all
authority. The dying President
was q Christian, who, before the
world, dared to take sin by the
throat. He was a man who might
be killed, but not seduced from the
right.

Is Arthur President?

The American quotes the constItu-
tional clause referring to the inability
of the president and contends that it is
''the powers and duties" that will de-
volve upon the vice president. The
language is:
SIN case of the removal OF the presi-
dent from Office, or of his death, resig-
nation, or inability to discharge the
powers and duties of the said office, the
same shall devolve on the vice presi-
dent ..-..
1t clearly means that the "office," and
not simply its s'powers and duties'' shall
pass. The word ''same" in the last
clause agrees with "office" in the first.
If the paragraph was written out and
nothing lett to be understood, we would
see that office itself is meant to be
conveyed: $3.50,
"In case of the removal OF the presi-
dent from office, or of his death (frOm
offlce), resignation (from office), or in
ability to discharge the powers and du-
ties of the said Office, the same shall de-
volve on the vice president"
The Americans bubble over the pre-
fixes dis and in does not affect the ques-
ton, if the sentence is dramatically
construed. Then, if the Office itself
devolves upon the vice president, what
power can depose him? The American
is not warranted in disassociating the
first clauses from the latter. 1t cannot
be and leave the sense unimpaired. The
above supply of words understood"
clearly elucidates the sense and inten-
ton of the sentence. If not, why not?
No arbitrary dictum will do. The con-
stitutiOn was not made to be construed
a certain way "because the country will
not have it So" as the American says.
This article was written before we saw
the criticism upon the Worlds position.

1t is not thought the governor
will convene the legislature. His
response to the gentlemen from
Giles was equivocal.. He said sub
stantially that il he did they would
probably know 1T, and that possibly
it might be probable that it would
remove all doubt of whether he
would or not by the way he might
be able to do so if he saw proper to
think it possible, in the event he did
come to that conclusion, as previ
ously expected he would be able to
do.
