The Socialists and the President.

The Chicago socialists. in a series Of resOlu-
lions protesting against any responsibility on
their part for the attack upon the President,
make formal declaration of political sentiments
calculated to encourage if not provoke just such
attacks. The socialists are as ignorant. appar-
emily, of the history of this government as they
are incapable of appreciating its blessings and
benefits They talk of the ''heght socially and
politically" which the President is raised above
the people; of his ''autOcratic power Of the
veto; of his right OF appointment OF judicial
and other officers, and his command over the
army and navy" and refer to the founders
OF the republic as if these powers had
been conferred upon the President since the
formation of the government. In fact every
power possessed By the President of the United
States to-day was vested in that Office by the
founders of the republic" With the natural
growth of the country the number Of Presiden-
tlal appointments has increased, and that is the
only enlargement of power which more than
century has conferred upon the office. The
"height" which the President occupies socially
and politically" above the people is entirely
imaginary. The very assault upon the President
which feled him at railroad station hardly
more than week ago. shows how absurd the talk
of the President autOCratic and aristocratic po
sition is. He went to the station for the purpose
OF taking train with the same unostentation
and simplicity that would have been observed
by any citizen. He was accessible to
everybody-unfortun atey too accessible. for
this enabled the assassin to reach the Presi
dents side and shoot him down. Socialism and
its principles can never take hold upon any
large proportion Of the people of this country.
There is TO apprehension of that, and ordinarily
no attention would be paid to the unpatriOtic
declarations of the order. But just at present
when the whole country is burning with indig
nation at the attempted assassination of the
President, it would seem to be prudent, if not
modest for socialism TO put some restraint upon
itself. Resolutions denOuncing the President as
q despot. with powers equal to Gears, empe-
rors and kings ofthe old world" as 1.-THE center
around which catherine Vanderbilts the Goulds
and every ring of punderers who fatten upon
the earnings of the people" will not be read
with much patience by the American people at
present

greater mistake could not well be made by
the Cincinnati Enquirer than TO suppose that
The STAR meant 10 belittle" the circulation of
that paper on the Sd inst. On the contrary. it
expressly said that the Eag,sirer's showing was
most ereditable one. The aim of the paragraph
to which our cOtenporary refers was simply to
point out the fact that, in proportion to accessible
population. the circulation of The STAR on the
occasion in question was greater than that of
the Enquirer. This is true. and the remark
would be equally true as applied to any other
paper in the United States Nor is there any
thing strange in the fact. either. As compared
with the whole number of inhabitants there are
and always must be, from the very nature of
their pursuits and from their connection with
politics and public affairs vastly more newspaper
readers in Washington than in any city i'm the
country. Consider this well-known fact in con-
nectiOn with the circumstance that the great
tragedy was one Of peculiar local interest here.
and the extraordinary demand for THE STAR is
explained, without at all taking into the account
another and most important factor in the case.
namely, its remarkably prompt, accurate and
complete reports Of the dreadful affair. In these
respects it is only just 70 say that the work per-
formed by The STAR on that fateful Saturday
has, all things considered never been surpassed

What Might Have Reep.

The recovery of the President aside from the
interest conferred in him and in his great office,
relieves feeling of apprehension that existed in
the public mind in regard to the successorship
to that place now held by the Vice President.
The constitution provides that after the Vice
President the president of the Senate and the
speaker OF the House of Representatives. in the
order named, shall succeed to the presidency
where death. resignation or inability vacates
that office Had the President died-and the
whole nation is rejoicing that he did not-Mr.
Arthur elevation 10 the presidency would have
been quietly and eonstitutiOnally accomplished.
The affairs of government would have moved
smoothly along in their accustomed groove and
no trouble could have arisen While the life of
Mr. Arthur lasted; but there is no
President pro tenpOre of the Senate in existence;
neither is there Speaker of the House. There
fore, had Mr.. Arthur succeeded to the presi-
dency by the death of Gen. Garfield his life only
would have stood between the country ard
state OF affairs that would have been somewhat
complicated. to say the least. The immediate
assembling OF Congress, in the sad event of the
Presidents death, would have undoubtedly
followed; but the Senate is equally divided
politically. and the public fear was that par
tisan fight would ensue for the presidency of the
Senate, because of the nearness of that position
TO the presidency Of the United States. The
Senate with the two New York vacancies filed
viii consist Of 81 democrats. 80 republicans. and
independents, one of whom generally votes
with the democrats and one with the republicans
The House, too. is so nearly evenly divided that
Should the speakership become invested with
unusual political Importance. there might ensue
protracted struggle over that position Hap
PLY, all these fears are now removed The
President is getting well, and the people look
forward TO a long continuation of his wise and
prosperous administration. However now that
all danger is about passed, in looking back at
the exalted patriotism displayed by the whole
country since the President was shot, it is safe
10 say that had the worst come a remedy out Of
the trouble would have been found, without re-
sort to bitter partisan wranglng. The people
of the United States are equal TO any emergency
when the preservation of their government is at
stake.

The markets for mining stocks are still feveriSn

by stock for SALE This is only the natural result OF
the late heavy decline in prices. OF course, some one
purchased the stocks which were sold down at the
lowest prices. and in many instances the purchasers
were those who were averaging stocks bought at
higher figures. Hence there is continued pressure
of sales to realize profits on the low purchases
