SERVICE

The annual report of the civil service com
mission which will soon be submitted to con-
gress viii doubtless afford the measure of
more definite judgment than am now prepared
to express as to the merits of the new system.
l am persuaded that its effects have thus far
proved beneficial and practicable methods APP
pears to be adequate for the ends proposed, ant
there has been no serious difficulties in carry
ing them into effect. Since the 18th of July
last, NO person, SO far as am
aware, has been appointed to the public service
in the classified portions thereof at any of the
departments or at any of the postoffices or Gus
toms districts above named, except those certi-
fed by the committee to be competent on the
basis of the examination held in conformity to
the rules.

TIE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.


At the time when the present executive
entered upon his office his death, re-
moval, resignation, or his inability to discharge
his duties, would have left the government with
out a constitutional heal. 1t is possible, of
course, that similar contingency may again
arise unless the wisdom of congress shall provide
against its recurrence.
The senate at its last session, after full con-
sideration, pa sed act relating to this subject
which will now, l trust, commend itself to the
approval of both houses of congress. The claus
es of the constitution upon watch must depend

presents also for solution other questions of par
amount Importance. These questions relate to
the proper Interpretation of the phrase inability
Our law providing that when the president
shall suffer from such inability
the presidential Office shall devoIve
upon the vice president, who must himself IN
dertake, and as circumstances give place to such
officer as congress may by law appoint to act as
president. Ineed not here set forth the num-
erous and interesting inquiries which are sug
gested by these words of the constitution. They

quent deliberatlon IN that body. 1t is greatly
to be hoped that these questions will find
speedy solution lest emergencies may arise when
longer delay would be impossible to any deter
hiDe1G tne WiSeSJ may furnish cause
for anxiety and alarm, for the reasons fully
stated in my last annual m sssge.
1 repeat M accommodation that con-
gress propose an amendment to that
provision of the constitution, which prescribed
that the fcrmaHties for the enactment OF laws
whereby in respect to bills for the appropriation
OF public moneys, the executive may be enabled
while giving his approval to particular items,
to interpose his acts as to such others as do not
commend themselves to his Judgment.
TIE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT.
The fourteenth amendment of the constitu-
ton of congress confers the rights of ciuzen-
ship upon all persons born or na uraized in the
United states and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof. 1t was the special purpose Of this
amendment to insure the members of the color
ed race to the full enjoyment OF civil
and political rights. Certain statutory pro-
visos intended to secure the enforcement of those
rights, have been recently declared unconstitu-
tional by TIE supreme court. Any legislation
whereby congress may lawfully snpplant the
guarantees which the constitution affords for the
equal enjoyment by all the citizens of the
United States of every right, privilege and i'm
munity of citizenship, will receive my unhesi-
tating approval.

THE NEW ORLEANS CENTENNIAL,

The industrial exhibitions which have been
held in the United States during the present
year attracted attention in many foreign
countries where the announcement of those
enterprises had been made public. Through
the foreign agriculture of this government, the
industrial exhibit at Boston and the southern
exhibits to Louisville were largely attended by
the exhibitors of foreign coun-
tries, notwithstanding the absence of
any professional character in those undertakings.
Inc centennial 81 position be held next year at
New Orleans in commemoration of the century of
the hrst shipment of cotton from a port of the
United States bids fair to meet with like
gratifying success. Under the act of congress,
of the luth of February, 1888, declaring the
exposition to be national and international in its
character, foreign governments, with which
the United States maintain relations, have been
invited to participate. The promotions of this
important undertaking have already received
assurances of the lively interest which it has
excited abroad,

year severe suffering and great loss of property
have been occasioned by profuse foods, followed
by periods of unusually low water in many
OF the great rivers of the
country. These Irregularities were
IN a great measure caused by the removal from
about the sources of the streams in question of
the timber by which the water supply had been
nourlshed and protected. The preservation of such
portion of the forest on the national elomaia as
essentially contribute to the equabie flow OF i'm
portant water courses is of the highest cunsc-
quence. Important tributaries OF the Missouri
the Columbia and the Saskatchewan rise in the
mountains of Montana neae the northern bound
airy of the United ptates, between The Black
feet and Fiathead Indian reservation.
This region is unsuitable for settle
ment, but upon the rivers which flow from
it depends in the future, AN agricultural develop
ment of a vast tract of country. The attention
of congress called to the necessity of with
drawing from the public sales this part of the
public domain end establishing there forest

honor and good faith, demand the immediate
establishment OF civil government in that terri
tory.
/ Complaints have lately been general and ur-
gent, that certain corporations, controlling IN
whole or part, the facilities for the interstate
Garage OF persons and merchandise of the great
railways of the country, have resorted in their
dealings with the public to diverse measures
unjust and oppressive in their charact-
ers. In some instances, the state
governments have attacked and suppressed
these evils, but in others they have bees able to
afford no adequate relief, because of the juris-
dictional limitations which are imposed upon
them By the federal constitution. The question
how far the national government may lawfully
interfere ID the premises and what, If any, su-
pervision of control it ought to exercise is one
which merits your careful consideration.
While we cannot fail to recognize the importance
OF the vast railway systeIns of the country and
their great and beneficial influence upon the
development of our material wealth, we should
on the other hand remember, that no individual
10 CORPORATION, ought to be invested with abso-
lutte power over tn interests of any other citi-
zen or class of citizens. The right of those
railway corporations to award any profitable re-
turn upon their inves meats and to reasonable
freedom in their regulations must be recognize,
but it seems only just so far as its cOnstitu-
tional authority will permit, congress should
prot ect the people at large in their interstate
traffic against any act of injustice which the
state governments are powerless to prevent.

Consul Lewis, of Sierra Leone, writes the
department Of state that importers Of leaf
tobacco from the United States complain that
it is dishonesty packed; that tho hogsheads
are being opened and found to contain great
deal of refuse tobacco, and that from 25 TO 80
per cent. imported is not according TO sample.
ferlor character ofthe tobacco, according to Con-
sui Lewis, is rarely discovered until it has found
its way to the retailers shops, and the result
is the importer is obliged TO make an allow
ance TO the consumer, which in some cases
average f2 per hogshead on whole cargo.
He urges more careful inspection of tobacco
before shipment.

not hate negroes any worse that they do any

or the sovonty-two years prior TO the civil
war tho south had the presidency for forty
nine years, besides the eight years Of absolute
sway under Pierce and Buchanan, making
fifty-seven years. Since tho passing away OF
the slavery regime there have boon six prosi.
Dental elections, at four Of which Illinois,
and at two of which Ohio has furnished tho
man.
From the states which furnished presidents
candidates have been taken who wero not
elected, as follows: In 1706 jefferson, Of vir.
ginia; in 1900 Burr, of New York, and Adams,
of Massachusetts,; in 1912 Do Witt Clinton, of
New York; in 1915 Rufus King, Of New
York; in 1924 jackson, of Tennessee; in
1928 Adams, of Massachusetts,; in 1896 Har-
rison, of Ohio; in 1910 Van Burcn, of Now
York; in 1860 Douglas, of Illinois, and Bell,
of Tennessee; in 1865 Seymour, of Now
York; in 1872 Greeley, Of New York in 1876
Tilden, Of New York; in 1880 Hancock, of
Pennsylvania.
From tho states which have never fur
nished presidents, candidates have boon So
lected from among their citizens by tho party
which was defeated, as follows In 1904 aud
again in 1908 Pinckney, of South Carolina In
1924 Crawford, Of Georgia, and Clay, of Ken.

gan; in 1852 Scott, of New Jersey in 1850
Fremont, of California; in 1860 Breckin.
ridge, of Kentucky; in 1854 Mcclellan, Of
New Jersey.
Thus it will bo seen that Of the nino statos
which have had tho presidency during the
nations history The following havo also fur
nished unsuccessful candidates at the cleo.
tions: Virginia, once; Now York, seven
times; Massachusetts,, twice. Tennessee,
twice; Ohio, Illinois, and Pennsylvania,
once-ffteen in all-and other states have
furnished candidates without ever succeed
ing, as follows: South Carolina, twice !;
Georgia, once; Kentucky, four times Michi-
gan, once New Jersey, twice, and California,
once--eleven in all. or course these figures
include all parties.
Gen. Buffers statement, recently madeas to
tho locality of presidential candidates in late
years, is correct, viz, that they have been taken
from Now York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and
Ohio The republicans have not gone outside OF
Illinois and Ohio for a candidate since they
nominated Fremont In 1856. The democracy
during the same period have taken their can
didates three times from New York, once
from New Jersey, and once from Pennsylva-
mia. We have supplemented the generals
statement with the facts of the past by way
of encouraging his friends to renewed efforts
for the democratic nomination. If that party
should prevail it Is desirable that its candidate
should be friend of equal rights, and one
who cannot be harnessed into the old-time
bourbon go-cart.

Effects ofThursday's Gale on the Fish

SAINT Pierre, Sept. 4.-Thursiays storm
exceeded in violence the cyclone of the pre-
vious Sunday. The damage to shipping is
incalculablc. A large proportion of the fish
ing fleet was disabled. Some 80 vessels have
already arrived completely stripped. The
loss OF life is appalling. Jack luel's "Bank-
ers' lost six men; Hardy's vessel six Vim
cents, six; Leoni Costes, four; Demalvil-
lian's, three and almost all the vessels lost
one or two men. Louis Jourdau's vessel
ioundercd after the storm had subsidized
The crew were saved. Over 30 vessels are
missing and there is great anxiety for their
safety. Not the slightest indication of the
approach of the storm was given, except the
uprising Of dense black cloud upon the
eastern sky with loud rcals of thunder Be-
fore half hour had elapsed the wind was at
us height and the sea mountains high.
Dories but short distance off were unable
TO reach their vessels. A Gloucester tchoon-
er arrived this morning from the Great Banks
towing the abandoned Newfoundland bark
Medane. Eight OF the crew were saved by
Lunenburg schooner. The master, navig-
ator and two men are missing and are sup
posed to be lost.
1t is reported that among the vessels lost
on the banks was the schooner Shughcn
White of Twinsbay, and that all hands were
drowned, including Warren Smith, an oars
