AN ORGAN OUT OF TUNE.

Our esteemed Democratic contempo-
rary CALCULATES God save the Presi-
dent" So calculate we all.
But when it goes on to say with a
maudlin sort of sentimentalism that
''his precious life is all that stands be-
tween the country and anarchy" so
calculate we not
There never was greater nonsense
written. 1t is not the President-it is
sixty odd millions of people who stand
between the country and anarchy.
Neither President, nor Vice-President,
nor Presidentpro tempore Of the Senate,
nor Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives could save the country from
anarchy If the people were bent upon
it. Neither could the annihilation of
any or all of these officials precipitate
the country into anarchy if the people
were opposed TO it.
The organ of the Administration
should learn that ours Is not a Govern
ment of one man, but Of the sovereign
citizen, and il there is any standing be-
tween to be done, 1t is the sovereign
citizen who does it.
Even in case of an absolute vacation
of the Executive office, as there would
be in the event of Mr. Cleveland 5
death prior to the meeting of Congress,
the Government would run along as
usual. 1t Itmight prolong the solicitude
of number of patriots who are wait
ing to be Presidential postmasiers or
something else in the pay Of the Treas
ury, but there would be no anarchy
The Constitution as 1t is-the Union
as 1t is-cost too much blood and treas
ure to be fooled with.
The sovereign citizen would very
carefully see to it that they were not
fooled with, and much as he might de.
plore the situation and the neglect Of
Congress to provide against its occur
renee, would happily survive the in
terregnum.

VACANCIES by DEATH.

Spain has lost her sovereign and the
United States the executive officer sec
ond in the personnel of the Govern
ment. Both countries are interested
in and discussing questions of success
sion to the vacancies thus created.
1t is not unnatural for Americans to
congratulate themselves upon the fact
that while the succession in Spain in
wolves a possible revolution, there is
no hint or fear of any trouble growing
out of the death of our Vice President
1t looks, however, as if the succession
in both cases would be provided for
without difficulty. The talk of reyo-
luton puts the Government always on
its guard and it is more than likely
that Alfonso's successor will be deter
mined upon in the person of his three.
year-old daughter, with the widow,
Queen Christina, as regent. That such
will be the case is outlined at least by
the cable advices from Madrid
The proposed Republic for Spain
does not seem to rest upon a firm
foundation, and revolution, to be sue
cessful, should have been sprung at
once. That 1t was not done serves to
allay any fear on that point.
In this country there are three names
prominently mentioned for the Presi-
dency pro temporo of the Senate
those of Senators Logan, Edmunds and
Sherman, with the former apparently
the first choice of the Republican party
at large. That party is very warmly
attached to the man who was second on
its national ticket year ago, and who
in the opinion Of many deserved to
be the first There is a strong dis
position in the party, now that the op.
portunity has presented itself, that
General Logan should be given that for
which he contended so valiantly in the
last Presidential campaign. While he
may not be the personal choice of a
majority of the Republican members Of
the Senate, it is by no means improba-
bic that those gentlemen will have to
defer to the evident choice of Republi-
cans generally and make General Logan
their President pro temp0re.

Our Theme To-Day

ls Oycicoots. Our stock is large and
varied, and, as newspaper space is
expensive. we must limit ourselves to
talking TO you about one thing at u
time. We do not say to you that we
have moro Ovcrcoats than all the other
clothing houses combined. 1t would
not be true If we did; but we do say,
and stake our claim to honesty on the
truth of our statement, that we have as
large a variety, as well selected an as
sortmcnt as elegantly cut made aud
trimmed stock of Ovcrcoats for Men,
Youths and Boys as those who make
higher claims can show you, and at prices
fully 25 per cent. below what you have
heretofore paid for goods of the same
quality. In saying this we do not ask
you to take our unsupported statement,
but we wish to remind you in the most
respectful manner that you have every
opportunity of inquiring into the cor
rectncss of our claim. Look around,
exercise your faculties, judge for your
selves, post yourselves on the value of
goods. If you do these things. and
the saving of money is any considera-
tion to you, you will quickly decide
where your best interest lies In sub
mittng to you through the papers our
claim to selling fine Clothing at popu-
lar prices, we use plain and simple Ian
guagc. We employ no man of letters
to use obsolete words and high.sound-
ing Latin phrases with which to mys-
tify you. Truth lends us force. We
need no scribe. We have Ovcrcoats
for sale in all weights, colors, styles
and fabrics, ranging in price from 81
TO $40 No ready-made Overcoat is
worth more. We respectfully invite
you to examine our stock. We know
too well what is due to an invited guest
to treat you otherwise than with cour-
tcsy and respect, whether you come to
look or buy.

that it was worth % heroic effort TO

nothing short orabsolulcly insurmount-

as failure on such an occasion would
imply.
II was under these circumstances and
as The quickest way to solve lnotty

commodaiion of Mr. j. II. Polkinhorn
of the wcll-known D.strcct printing

out enough of It's matter to let in our
own, that the difficulty was overcome
and thousands of the citizens of Wash
ington informed between s o'clock and
midnight that the illustrious Vice
President was no more.
1t was the best that could be done.
1t was done promptly and theoretically.
1t saved the National Capital from
what would certainly have been some,
what humiliating reflection upon its
journalistic enterprise, of being the
only city of consequence In the country,
that failed to issue an extra newspaper
upon an occasion of the gravcst
moment and universal public concern.
TO Mr. Polkinhorn, who 50 gener-
ously gave us lift in this emergency,
to our ncighbors of the National
RlpvjiicdH, whose helping hand was
also freely extended, and to the
community at large, whose appre-
citation of our endcayors in its be-
half was so overwhelmingly attested at
that time and again on yesterday, THE
CRITIC tenders its Acknowledgements.
Although its Thanksgiving Day was
scarcely the day of rest which it had
promised itself and recommended to
others, and was rather a day of
mourning than of feasting. yet we
have the satisfaction of knowing that
being spent for the good of our friends,
il was not spent wholly in vain.

THOMAS A. HENDRICKS.


The death of the Vice. President of
the United States removes from public
life man not only eminent for his
statesmanlike qualities and elevated
patriotism, but greater still in the in
corruptible honesty and purity of his
personal character As a man he was
respected of all because he wore no
disguises. There were no two faces to
either his politics, his religion or the
tenor of his ways in any of the rela-
tions of citizenship.
The country, no less than friends
and relatives, will mourn his death. 1t
is in the nature of public bereave-
ment.

is a gentleman of superior literary at
tainments. His most recent works have
been a novel of which he made Jay
Gould the peculiar hero, and the edit

by the way, is almost as charming a
