THE PRESIDENTIAL Sue
CESSION.

The Civil Service matter being sat
isfactorily settled, several other
measures of hardly less Importance
are claiming Congressional attention.
Among these is the bill providing for
the Presidential succession. which.
as the law now stands, is liable at
any time to become a matter of seri-
Gus dispute. If the Senate, for in
stance, fails to elect a President g2ro
tempore, during the present session,
In place of Senator Davis. whose
term expires next March, the country
will be left without constitutional
successor to the Presidency until the
new Congress organizes in December
and in the event of President Arthur's
death during that time, the Govern
ment would be without a head. In
'such an emergency, the native instinct
of the people for self-government
might be relied upon to prevent a
state of anarchy, which the Senator
from Arkansas seems to apprehend
but it is safer to anticipate the emer
gency and make the succession, SC
far as the law can make it. absolute
ly certain.
The proposed bill provides that, il
the event of the death, inability o
resignation of the President and Vice
President. the duties of the Chic
Executive shall be performed by tn
Secretary of State, or, in the even
of his death. by the other member

The Tariff must and will be revised.
If not done by the present Congress
it will be done by the next, What
protectionists can expect from Dem
ocratic House, the majority of whose
members believe they were elected
upon the Tariff for revenue issue,
they should pretty fully understand.
Certainly they cannot expect any
other than Revnue Tariff. The
Senate's Tariff is very much more
favorable to their interests than that,
and very probably could be adopted
at the present session, late as it is.
1t is, on the contrary, commonly con-
coded that there is little or no chance
for the adoption of the House bill.
1t is better protective measure than
the other; but even Mr.. Kasson con-
siders it too radical, and is not dis
posed to support it. Yet Mr.. Kasson
is one of the strongest of the advo-
Gates of protection In the House. If
he objects to its radical increase of
duties, what are the generally weak
kneed tariff men of the House likely
to do.-Inqoirer.

Governor Thompson of South Car

Governor Thompson OF South Car
DINA has set an excellent example
by refusing to make any changes
among the five or six hundred State
officials, in spite of the pressure ex-
erted ON him by friends and party
workers. This is an illustration on
small scale of what the appointing
power can do to make stability of
tenuse one of the customs of Ameri-
can politics, instead of instability of
tenure, which is now one of its GUS
toms. One of the greatest obstacles
with which civil service reform has
had to contend is the theory that be-
cause the law does not prohibit re-
mOvals without cause, presidents and
governors are in some mysterious
manner bound to make removals
without cause, and cannot stop max
ing them unless the Legislature inter-
feres to tie their hands.

Texas Crops.

w. w. Ross, in his crop report to the
Department of Agriculture at Washington
for August 1, says: Corn, once so promis-
ing, has been injured some by the drought; !;
especially was this with the later plant
ing; it is late, and with us this is always
unfavorable. The earlier planted is a fair
crop, and considered an average, while the
later planting is cut off at least one-half;
yet there will be plenty made to supply all
home demands, the acreage is large.
Wheat is good averaSe-from
twelve to twenty-seven bushels per acre;
fine and plump grain. Oats is good; some
is threshing as much as eighty bushels per
acre; the grain is well filled and heavy.
Native hay pasture is good. Irish potatoes
very good; sweet not so good-needing
rain. Sorghum about on an average.
Apples and peaches are not good. Grapes
very fine. Cotton, the yield is small; the
early plant is well fruited with bolls and
forms and is now blosSoming near the top
and needing rain. The later planted has
but little fruit; it is growing and has done
finely. The crop is at least ten or fifteen
days late, with ten or fifteen per cent. less
acreage. No boil worms to do any harm
are reported vet.

The Scope Of the Sewing Machine.

There are few conquests left for the
sewing machine of the future to make
i'm the line of variety. So various-h have
been the uses 10 which our present ma
chimes have been adapted that little is
left the hand needle to do. There are
machines to sew the heaviest leather,
and others to stitch the finest gauze or
lace. Machines make button-holes and
eyelet-holcs superior to the best hand
work, and at a speed that would asphyx-
late an ordinary seamstress; while but
tons are sewed on by modern attach
ments faster in both senses than can
possibly be done by the needle with the
''eye in the other end" There are
overseam machines that sew carpets,
others for glove work, and similar ones
for fur sewing, and these leave seam
that fattens out neatly, and the stitch
ing is as smooth and regular as can be
desired by the most cxacting. Other
machines sew books and pamphlets,
while still others, with wire for thread,
sew brooms and brushes. Sewing ma
chimes with the shuttle concealed in the
end of long and slender arm sew the
soles on shoes and boots with q speed
and rapidity that make two pair cost
less than one pair would otherwise cost.
Dash machines will sew around the dash
of a carriage almost in the twinkling of
an eye, and such is their capacity that
they will stitch to the center of an eight
foot circle. Writing and embroidery of
various kinds may be done on almost
any of our modern machines without
any attachment, and some of them will
darn and patch in Il manner to delight
the tired mother Of houscful of romp-
ing boys. Two or more parallel rows
stitching may be done on the twin
there may be triplet-ncedle machine;
and one of the latest achievements of
this machine Is to sew the Hat seam in
flour bolt cloth, feat until recently
considered impossible. Cordage Is
sewed by machine, and so Is straw braid
for hats and bonnets. The scope of
the sewing machine seems limited only
by the variety of work the needs of
mankind-and womankind-may de-
mand. The sewing machine inventor,
as class, may soon have TO sit down,
as did Alexander. and cry because there
are no more worlds for him to conquer.
He will doubtless regret that he was not
born little earlier in the sewing ma
chine age, before all the great inven-
tions had been studied out and per-
fected. There is little left for him to do
except in the direction of perfecting the
present machines and chcapening their
production. But even here he will find
ample and profitable work for his i'm
ventive genius and mechanical skill.-
