WHAT NEXT

In view of the fact that the senate
of the United States failed to elect q
president pro tenn at its late session,
the question is asked what would be
the course of procedure should Pres.
ident Garfield and vice-P President
Arthur both die or be disabled from
serving. In such an emergency it
would become the duty of Secretary
Blaine to summon the senate. This
would force an immediate break
of the senatorial deadlock in New
York. The senate being a tie
as between republicans and democrats
David Davis would be elected presi-
dent pro tempore Of the senate, and
he would become acting president of
the United States until a general cleo
ton could be held under the following
law:
"SECTIoN 147. Whenever the office
of president and vice-president both
become vacant, the secretary of state
shall forthwith cause a notification
thereof to be made to the executive of
every state, and shall also cause the
same to be published in at least one
OF the newspapers printed in each
state.
"SEC. 148. The notification shall
specify that electors Of a president
and vice president of the United States
shall be appointed or chosen IN the
several states as follows: First-If
there shall be the space of two months
yet to ensue between the date Of such
notification and the first Wednesday
in December then next ensuing, such
notification shall specify that the cleo
tors shall be appointed or chosen with
in thirty-four days preceding such
first Wednesday in December. Sec
ond-If there shall not be the space
of two months between the date of
such notification and the first Wed
nesday in December, and if the term
for which the president and vice
President last in office were elected
will not expire OH the third day of
March next ensuing, the notification
shall specify that the electors shall be
appointed or chosen within thirty
four days preceding the first Wednes-
day in December in the next year on
suing. But if there shall not be the
space of two months between the
date of such notification and the first
Wednesday in December then next
ensuing, and if the term for which
the president and vice-president last
to office were elected shall expire on
the third day of Masch next ensuing,
the notification shall not specify that
electors are to be appointed or

THE VICE PRESIDENT.

The succession of Chester A. Arthur
to the presidency Of the United States
is a possibility which is viewed with
grave concern by the American people.
There is a general feeling that he lacks
the necessary qualifications for the
duties and responsibilities of the posi-
ton. His political experience has
been decidedly limited, having been
chiefly gained in the manipulation of
local politics in New York. As an
Office holder, Mr.. Arthur's position as
collector of the port of New York
afforded him little opportunity for
taking any extended view of public
policy, of shaping public sentiment,
or of leaving his impress
upon the national mind. It was in
view of these facts that his nomina.
ton at Chicago was considered more
MS a sap thrown to conciliate the fac
ton of the party with which he had
been identified as any recognition Of
his peculiar fitness for the position.
During his term as vice-president
Mr.. Arthur performed the routine
duties Of his position with ordinary
ability. His refusal, however, to
unite with the republicans in forcing
the election Of a president pro TEN of
the senate was a grave error. AS
matters now stand in Ease of Presi-
dent Garfeld's death and his own
removal by death or otherwise,
lhere would no one be author
lied to act as president until
an election could be ordered as pro-
vided by law. Mr.. Arthur's conduct
in the Albany contest also laid him
open to grave criticism as exhibiting
a lack of the dignity connected with
his position.
The country must, however, face
the probability of Nh. Arthur's ele-
walton to the presidency. 1t may be
said in his favor that he processes
himself as lacking confidence in his
own qualifications for the Office. This
is a cheering sign, and may indicate
that in case the dreaded emergency
does arise which makes the step nec-
essary, Mr.. Arthur will iseabovethat
spirit of factionali SIN which heretofore
marked his political career and en-
deavor to carry out the principles and
policy of his lamented predecessor.
Under such circumstances Mr.. Arthur
would be afforded an opportunity for
the display of whatever political abili-
ties he may possess. AS president
the country will certainly afford him
as much consideration for honest n
deavor and honest mistakes as they
have heretofore done to other and
O distinguished statesmen.

MINNESOTA COLONIZATION.

Persons who simply read the daily
returns of the arrivals at Castle Garden
have no idea of the number and char
acter and Importance of the new COM
ers who are not known at all at the
immigrant depot. So important and
numerous are they, however, that
some steps ought to be taken and
persisted in, to advise them of the
character and desirability of the lands
in this state. Bishop Ireland has
been doing a noble work for Minneso-
to, and his pamphlets and circulars
have been of incalculable advantage.
Let us state n case.
MI. John Sweetman, an Irish
landlord and capitalist, came
to this country last year; examined
the lands of the western states, gen.
erally-perhaps he failed to investi-
gate the public domain in Nebraska
and the Canadas, and extended his
observations to Winnepeg, a country
that has been boosted of, but of which
some settlers complained SO bitterly
about within a year in the columns of
The New York Herald. Mr.. Sweet
man, perhaps because he was a Cath
Ollie and knew Bishop Ireland, visited
Minnesota, and was so impressed with
the land in that state that he pur-
chased one plot in Murray
county of 10000 acres, for which
he paid prompt cash. He returned to
Ireland and organized ''The Irish
American Land Colonization Company,
Limited" with a capital of f15O, 900,
giving the company his land at
cost price, and taking stock in the
company therefor. His directors in.
clude r. III. Froude, of London,
nephew to the famous historian, James
Anthony Froude, who has never
been accused of friendliness to the
Irish at home oil abroad, The COM
pany was organized last March,
and even now they have
forty families on the property, with
corn and iax-an important crop in
Minnesota, although they have not
learned how to utilize the stalk or
hbre-and potatoes as promising as those
of the old settlers. The new settlers
brought some of their old world GUS
toms with them, for there is one by
the name of Cosgrove who has exca-
waited his cellar and placed a pig there
in. The pig is 10 important factor in
the "rint" question in Ireland, and so
has quarters on the first floor; in
America the porker is not 80 impor-
tant and SO has to put up with the
cellar. Mr.. Sweetman's company
furnishes the new corners eighty acres
Of land, a yoke Of oxen and q cart,

a cow, and the necessary household
furniture and supplies for immediate
use, and those in addition to a house
built for them and their passage paid
from Boston and New York. For all of
thesethey do not advance apenny, and
are not expected to pay anything for
eighteen months, and then only six
per cent. interest on the land and
eight per cent interest on the supplies,
and in a year from that time, that is
twoand half yearsfrom the start, they
arerequiredto payinterest of 5 per cent
on the principal, and in easy yearly
stages within ten years they are ex-
pected to pay for the moulding" The
land is given TO the new comers at the
railroad price and the supplies are at
prime cost, and a cart that would cost
the settler S75 is furnished by the
company at $50, because Mr.. Sweet
man gave an order at once for
sixty, and paid prompt cash,
and 80 got them compare
lively cheap. The company does
not pretend to do anything from
motives of philanthropy; they say that
in a few years they will be able to sell
the alternate sections of land at
greatly enhanced prices. Mr.. Sweet
man is o at Avoca. He proposes
building a house at Buffalo Lake, but
so soon as he has his colonists in shape
for the winter he will return to Ire
land, and Of course another colony
will be brought over in the
spring. Independent of his company
land he owns other property in the
state, which he is going to improve.
Recently he visited DeGraff for the
purpose of securing blooded stock, in
tending as he does to raise cattle. In
addition to Mr.. Sweetman there ARE
wealthy Irish and English gentlemen
of means settling in Avoco, and they
sensibly roll up their sleeves, although
some of them are English University
men, and are seen after the pillow or
the harrow. One Of the most impor-
tant of the settlers in Avoco was
storm stayed there for several
months, and so pleased was he with
his durance hat in tho
spring he purchased four
hundred acres of land, and has built
him n house.
But Minnesota has not all the
cream of the immigration scheme.
Mr.. John A. Creighton has just re-
ceived q letter from a Belgian capital
ist, who has been examining lands in
Nebraska and who has selected sixty
thousand acres of the B. & M lands,
and he notified Mr.. Creighton, in a
letter from Montreal, that he had ad-
vised his correspondents in Europe to
remit at once to Mr.. Creighton the
money to pay it. Thus we share
somewhat with Minnesota in the ad-
vantage of the settlers.
Bishop O'Connor's Catholic colony
in Greeley county is prosperous.
There is population for several town
ships arriving daily in New York, and
let Nebraska have her share.

WE TAKE 1T BACK"
From Yesterdays Omaha Republican.

From Yesterdays Omaha Republican.
In a recent issue The Republican
used the following words:
"They are the words of a dema.
goque who habitually appeals to the
bludgeon and the torch whenever q
contest in a mere local issue goes
against him. 1t was he who, in the
time of the riots in Omaha, appealed
to the brute force of the mob, and
put in peril the officers of a great cor
poration and the homes of it's officials,
among the best citizens of Omaha"
These words the editor of The BEE
considers as applied to himself, and
asks us to take them back if there is
ga spark of manhood left" in us. If
we know ourself, and we think we
do, there is a germ of that immortal
flame left in us. We therefore I'M
qualifedly stake it back" We do
not, however, do so under compulsion.
We do SO simply from a sense of JUS
tice to Mr.. Edward Rosewater.
Having disposed with MI. Rose
waters request, satisfactorily we
cannot doubt to the estima-
BILE editor of one of our esteemed even
ing contemporaries-we beg leave to
quote Mr.. Rosewater's version of the
affair to which reference was made, and
adopt it as u own. To this, Mr..
Rosewater will not, we are sure, as he
cannot reasonably, object. Mr.. Rose
waters version of the affair, which we
substitute for The Republicans is
this.
More than one thousand workmen
exasperated by the abuse and insults
heaped upon them by the local mono
poly papers, were holding indignation
meetings in the streets n night in
July. The railway officials, a%pprehen-
sive of an outbreak, had taken refuge
in their home. The Herald was bar
ricaded and under guard of the..sheriff.
The proprietors of The Republican
were frightened over the probable gut
ting of their concern The whole
body of these "howling communists
As they were termed by the monopoly
press, marched to the residence OF the
editor of The BEE and called for a
speech. A few incendiary words
would have sent that crowd down the
hill on a double-quick and nothing
could have withstood them.
But the editor of THE BEE implored
these ~workingmen to 60 quietly to
their homes, and counselled them to
do nothing that could provoke a breach
of the peace or cause the destruction
OF property. The crowd applauded
the speech, Within thirty minutes
they had all dispersed and reached
their homes. The printing offices and
railway buildings were saved from
destruction.
We accept the apology now, but in
the future We shall expect and exact
manly treatment from every contem'
porary. We have for years submit
