Relteviax the PreSlNeut,

So able a statesman as Galusha a.
Grow, OF Pennsylvania, has been giving
his views, suggesting change in the
Constitution 70 relieve the Presi'
dent Of the enormous aud growing load
OF executive duties which ievo,re upon
| him. Az present the President has the
appointrnent II all the subordinate oth-
/ GERS ot the government trom aud III
cluGius the cabinet officers down to
/ PostmaSters whose salaries rate above
| a Thousand dollars. Mr.. Grows plan
] for vsliev.a- the President is 10 llnHt
his appointing power 10 his Cabinet
the Foreign Ministers and Judses OF
/ The United States Courts. He would
( place the task OF selecting SuHori'uate
officers OF the government in the
hands OF the heads of Departments.
Still further to relieve the President,
Nr. Grow would make the Vice presi.
dent member of the Cabinet and put
upC n him the duty of deciding large
class Of comparatively minor questions
coming up for executive decision. Those
who have given the question much
thought must coincide with Mr.. Gr0S 3
views in the main, ii not in detail, rs
this would divide the responsibility Of
making the appointments with the
President and prevent parcel of crazy
craukS from trying to assassinatc him
in revenge for some tancied diSappoint-
ment anA the refusal to appoint them
to some petty consulship. This plan
would give the President time to attend
to our foreign relations, and study I'M
portant National GResLions upon which
he has to make recommendations to
Congress, win much more care than he
can possibly give them under existing
circumstances.
As it is at present the President is a
pestered and Cverwrrknd clerk daring
perhaps one fourth of his time, and u
weary listener to applications for office
during nearly all of his working
hours. This might have done well
enough for the days of Washington
when the Nation only had population
Df about three millions of people, but
now that the population has increased
to fifty millions the labor has increased
seventeen times as great and has proved
% be monstrous load on the President.
Il is to be regretted that so practical a
Gentleman ard one SO sound in his
iiews on such au important subject as
\Ir. Grow is not a member of Congress
where he wou.c have free scope to
AIRY his suggestions out to practical
Ssue.
