While there can be no doubt thVt,
whatever may have been the intention Of
the trainers of the national Constitution,
il has been established by precedenis as
strong now as the Constitution itse'f.
that in case % the death or removal of
the President, the Vice President sue
ceeds TO the Office for the remainder Of
the term. That is the law to day be
yond dispute, but is it quite certain, re-
marks the St. Louis Republican, that it
would not be a wise thing to amend the
Constitution so as 70 plainly require, what
was very probably the intention of those
who framed the Constitution, that the
succession of the Vice President should
be simply for the period of time that
must intervene before the election Of a
new President2 The existence of an
heir apparent may at any time invite a
repetition of Guiteau's crime, and it is
repugnant TO every theory Of a republi-
can government that it should be in the
mower Of an assassin to change power
from one political party to another. 1t
might be well, therefore, to make the
thing impossible by providing that the
Vice President should be in no event
anything more than temporary Presi
denf.

A party out West has plan for pro-
ducing rain by artificial means. He
writes thus to the Globe Democrat:
MY method would be to manufacture
on a large scale sky-rockets, with dyna-
mite cartridges of such size as to cause
an explosion equal to the discharge Of
a twelve pound cannon, these rockets
to be arranged on wires erected in cir
cles, the rockets to be from two TO five
feet apart, and ignited by electricity.
The explosion occurring high in the air,
would not be dangerous to life. This
exercise continued throughout the day,
every half hour, we are sanguine would
bring about the desired result"
The theory is based on the well known
fact that rain storms follow great bat
ties, and has already been discussed
very seriously by various scientific per-
sons.

Gas at present constituted. says the
Rock Island dll) Argus DEM, Tam
many Hall is the most effective Republi-
can organization in the country, and the
sooner it is put out of the way the
better for the Democratic party. 1t has
been for several elections the con-
slant and never falling ally of the Re-
publicans. and like an enemy in the rear
has stabbed US from behind" With
very few exceptions similar expressions
of opinion come from the Democratic
press throughout the country. The
party at large is disguised with the in
cessant warfare of selfish and unprinci-
pied faction-leaders in New York city
The rank and file of the metropolitan
Democracy are as well grounded in the
faith, and as loyal to the party's interests
as any equally large section of the party,
but they are badly-we might say,
treacherously-led, and the result is dis
astrous. 1t is high time for change.

Louisville C0urJer-J0UrHaI: 1--WE have
received a printed circular from the
Hon. VIM. E. Gambler, Of Massachusetts,
announcing that it is a national dis
grace that the parties who shot Judge
Chisholm, Of Kemper county, Miss q,
have not been punished, and that the
South is 'barbOr0us.' We have % say
to Hon. W. E. Chandler that it is truly
deplorable that any murderers escape
punishment in this country. but If the
exemption Of murderers from punish
ment is an evidence Of barbarIty there
must be some painfully barbarous com
munities IN New England and elsewhere
in the North. The Chicago papers in
form us that no murderers are punished
there, and the murders average one a
week.

The reunion of the Society of the
Army of the Cumberland in Chatta-
nooga, September 81 and %, promises
to be an affair of more than ordinary i'm
portance. There will be present large
number of the most prominent military
men and ex-soldiers in the Union, and
many civil officers of the General Govern
ment and States. In addition to ex Fed
eral and Federal soldiers and officials,
there will, it is thought, be the largest
gathering of ex-Confederate soldiers and
leaders assembled since the war to ex-
tend a welcome on the famed battle
fields.

1t is difficult to say what the receipts at
this port will be this year, but 1t is safe to
say that they will exceed 100000 bales,
although the crop in this section has been
materially damaged by the drought. 1t is
also safe to say that when the Georgia
Pacific and the Cole extensions are com
pleted an average cotton crop will pour into
Atlanta an amount approaching 100000
bales. making the city second only to Mem
phis in the list of interior ports. But, after
all, the amount of cotton we handle is not
so important as the amount that we turn into
goods, for the spinning and weaving Of one
bale of cotton benefits a town more than
the mere handling of twenty bales. The
earnings of Fall River aud New Orleans
during the past year fully establish the
truth of this statement.

A prominent leather merchant of New
York told reporter of the World the
other day that America would soon enjoy
monopoly of the manufacture of leath-
er-particularly of sole leather. This he
attributed to the cheapness with which
bark for tanning could be obtained in
this country. These barks were very
high in price in England, mimosa cost
ing $40 per ton there; valoma, brought
from Italy, 800, and myrabalam, from
Japan, 1925. On the other hand, hem
lock bark, the best in use for making
sole leather, costs only three dollars per
ton in this country. So great was the
difference in the cost of these materials
that hides were now being shipped
from Great Britain to this coun-
try to be tanned here. We first
sent the live animals to England,
where they were skinned and the beef
eaten. The hides were shipped back to
this country, converted into sole-leather
and re-exported to England. Hemlock
bark has the effect of increasing the
weight OF the niue CONSIDERABLY, 80 CHds
one hundred pounds of dried American
hide made one hundred and seventy-tve
pounds of sole leather The conse-
quence is that dealers can sell leather for
twenty-six cents pound which cost
twenty-five cents in the hide. The re-
suit Of the cheapness OF hemlock in this
country would soon leave America, he
said, without rival in the world as a
tanner. France might still continue to
manufacture some of the lighter grades
of leather, but sole leather would be
made wholly IN this cOun try.
