member of the Cabinet without portfolio, and
thus be put in position TO act as an aid to the
President. Or he might be made full men,
Der of the Senate, with the right to speak and
vote upon all questions If it is objected that
this would disturb the power of the States in
that body, the answer is that he has now the
authority to disturb that power on important
occasions by giving casting vote. Another
plan, which, like the first one mentioned above,
could be carried out by Legislation without
constitutional amendment, was suggested some
years ago by President Garfield. 1t is to make
the Vice President ex-officio governor Of the
District of Columbia, provide him a fitting
residence. and give him the power of appoint
ing the subordinate officers Of the District. In
favor Of this plan it can be urged that WASH
ington is national city, governed by the ma
tional legislature, and its executive functions
might therefore consistently be put into the
hands of an official elected by the whole ma
ton. The growing importance and beauty of
the city and the increasing interest felt in il
by the people at large, would make the admin
istration of its affairs dignified and honorable
task for the Vice President.

The Vice-Presidential Office.


Excluded from the councils at.the White
House by custom, the second officer of the gov
ernment naturally drifts away from the Presi-
dent in his personal relations, and accepts per-
force the unpleasant position of a dignified do
nothing. He feels that Franklin described his
office admirably when in the constitutional
convention he proposed in jest to apply to it
the title of His Most Superfuous Highness."
1t is only human nature that he should regard
the acts and policy of the President with close
If not unfriendly criticism, and should map out
different course for himself in case he should
be called to the place of power. He has taken
no part in shaping the work of the administra-
ton; why should he feel bound to commend
it? Why. without any intentional unfairnes5,
should he not think he could improve upon it
If he had a chance? 1t would be easy enough
to fit the Vice President into the administra-

PHILADELPHIA Press: Somebody dis.
covered very long ago that it is impossible
to please everybody. The official bulletins
from the White House have provoked two
very different causes of complaints. The
physicians have been charged with over
stating the danger Of the case to magnify
their office. They have, also been accused
OF toning down their reports to feed the peo-
pie on the diet of hope for which they have
been hungering. Most likely of all, the
physicians have been telling the truth, as
they protest they have. Their first duty is
to cure their patient if they can, and the
best surgical authority end orses their way
of going about it.

"WHEN the honest masses of the North
understand that the aim of the Southern
masses is the best policy for all American
citizens, and not a separate advantage
sought, and the people of the South under
stand that the cue to action in the North is
not revenge or the desire to oppress, but a
desire to prevent future peril like that es-
caped," the Memphis Avalanche thinks, can
honest and liberal understanding will be
reached which will leave no room for dema-
gogery or unwholesome agitation"

Bromide for Sea-Sickness.

DR.. Frederick Reed of Hartford committed
suicide at sea on June 4, while on voyage to
the Azores in sailing vessel, by jumping
overheard in a fit of mental alteration, caused,
it is believed, by the excessive quantity of bro
mide of sodium he had taken-no less than
eleven ounces. DR.. George NJ. Beard of New
York city, the author of q work on "Sea-sick-
ness, its Symptoms and its Treatment" is pre-
pairing to sail for Europe on the Arizona, and
proposes to use the bromide treatment hims elf
on the voyage. He says that DR.. Reeds W rs
probably the first case-at least the first that
had come under his notice-of insanity and
suicide arising from the use of bromide of So
dium. He was familiar with cases in which
the drug had produced very depressing men,
tai effect owing to the idiosyncrasies of consti-
tuition that were necessarily concealed until
the action of the medicine unmasked them
Dr. Beard says: The most noticeable feature
of such cases is an unconquerable sleepiness,
bordering upon stupor, which endures for days
unless remedial measures are promptly ap-
piled. The remedy for over-doses of the bro
mides-and one that should be Immediately
administered when grave symptoms are devel-
oped-is powdered citrate Of caffeine, (the ac-
tive principle vf coffee) in quantities of from
two to three grains, taken dry upon the
tongue and washed down with glass of
water or cup of weak tea. This should be
followed by quinine in tonic doses. The
use of bromide of sodium in large doses
from 80 to 40 grains, has become quite COM
mon practice among sea-voyagers. Doses Of 10,
10 or 20 grains are not considered of efficacy by
the bromide enthusiasts, and potions Of 100
grains are sometimes taken in order to pro-
duce the required saturation of the system and
avoid the mortal nausea and prostration of sea-
sickness. DIR. Beard recommends that the
voyager should not wait until the symptoms
appear before adopting the remedy. The
bromides should be taken in sufficient Quantity
before sailing, under the direction of the fami-
ly physician, so as to prepare the system to con-
tend with rongh weather. The course should,
he says extend over several days, and if nee
essary, during the whole voyages, although if
| the weather is favorable lighter doses may be
substituted for the 80 or 60 grains three times a
| day with which it begins.

The Presidents Condition.

The reports from the Capital are of the
most encouraging nature. To all appear
ances the President has passed the critical
stage of his trouble, and there are now abun-
dant reasons to hope for his complete re-
covery. Unless some unfavorable symptom
speedily manifests itself the doctors will
feel justified, in the course of a few days, in
pronounciug him out of danger.
