THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION III

THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION BILL.
The measure that has gone through the
senate, known as the presidential success
sion bill, strikes us rs one not only poorly
constituted to meet the difficulties TO re-
move which il was framed, but violatiye of
the spirit, If not the letter, of the consttu.
ton. Its distinguishing feature is tat in
case of the removal, death or disability Of
the president, vice-president and officers,
In short, in the line of succession provided
by the constitution, If such exist, then the
cabinet officers shall succeed commencing
with the secretary Of state, and going down
regularly In the order of rank OF the secre.
taries. There are two serious objections to
the bill. In the first place, II places in the
line OF succession a number OF men, who
may step at any time into the presidential
chair, who have never perhaps had any
other endorsement or fitness for the
place than their mere selection as a cabinet
minister by ono man, men whom neither
the people nor their representatives in
either the senate or house of representa-.
tives have chosen further than their com.
plimentary confirmation as cabinet officers
BY the senate. This is not safe nor con-
stitutioual plan TO dispose Of the presidency
Of such great nation as the United States,
to say nothing of the possibility Of the ex.
eoutive department falling into the hands
of virtual imbecils or knavc, whom per.
sonal friendship and associations have
thrown into the ministry. Another obiec.
ton is the fact that tho bill fails TO provide
Tor continuous session ofcongress. When
PREsIpxNr GARFIELD died there was neither
president Of the senate nor speaker Of the
house, and had GENERAL ARTHUR died
before the first Monday In Dsccm.
A. Of that year, the government would
fave been without an executive head and
1nnumerable and dangerous complications
might and probably would have arisen. If,

A GRAND FREE AID.


1t is Attached to Some More Sensible Reso-
buttons Regarding Juries.
After the Volksfest meeting in Turner hall
yesterday, DR.. B. Hadra requested the twenty
persons then present to organize as public
meeting in order to pass the following resolu-
ton:
We, citizens of San Antonio, do declare ::
/. That we do deplore the provisions of
our criminal laws, according to which only
ignorant and disinterested men are allowed on
juries.
2. We consider the verdict in the Ben
Thompson trial as a result of such laws, allow
ing the criminal comparatively more protec-
ton than society.
Z. That we protest and condemn with in
dgnation the assertion of the EVENING LIGHT,
of December ~, according to which the de-
cision OF the jury gave general satisfaction"
d. We finally condemn the remarks in the
same article in which it is claimed that Ben
Thompson was already sufficiently punished
by loss of money, loss of office and freedom
by incarceration, as unheard OF and unworthy
of civilized society.
These resolutions were adopted with but
one dissenting vote, given by man who said
he wished a grand public demonstration in
this cause.

Tie Difference i'm Men.

One man has every thing that is necessary to
success in business; he has capital at his com
mand, influential friends, wealthy relatives
ever ready to endorse his paper,-perhaps
steps into an established bushes, and yet in a
short time he fails. Another has none of these
advantages and yet in Il short time builds up a
large and extensive establishment. One of
merchant, J. NJ Emerson When asked by us
to what he attributed his success in business he
replied. that it was by fair and impartial deal
ing in all his business transactions; by advertis-
ing and giving the public just what he adver-
tised, and by not asking too much for any arti-
Gle IN his stock, ALSO by giving the customer any
advantage he might, by careful buying for
spot cash. mother words should little child
step in to buy he would deal as fairly as
though the highest and Hottest person were
purchasing.
No doubt Mr. EmersOn's views are correct.
