THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.
From the New York Word |

From the New York word
The death OF Nlce-President Hen
bricks ut this particular time has natu-
rally brought prominently into discus
sion the question of the presidential
succession. At present there is neither
a president of the senate nor a speaker
of the house of representatives of the
new congress. The law provides that
one of these two officers shall fill the
presidency temporarily in the Eel of
the death or inability of both the pres
ident and vice-president, and makes no
further provision 1t follows that if
Mi. Cleveland should die before the
meeting of congress there would be for
a siaie 40 legal head to the government.
While this is true, the evil is exaggera-
ted by some of II contemporaries land

After President Garfield's assassina-
ton a somewhat similar discussion
took place, although the most promi-
nent point then agitated related to the
eXpediencv of creating some legal au-
th0rity empowered 10 decide when the
ssinability" of a president should exist.
Then, as now. some alarmists almost
predicted a stoppage of the machinery
and a failure of our system. But for
three months the government vent on
as calmly and smoothly as if the chief
executive had been daily at his post OF
duty and 50 it would go on now, OF
would have gone on for eight months,

president and vice-president had oc

MARX TWAIN'S DIFFICULTIES IN
BECOMING A CONFEDERATE.

In his paper in the December Centu-
ry, "The Private History of a Cam
paign that Failed" Mark Twain says:
"Out west there was a good deal Of
confusion i'll mems minds during the
first months of the great trouble-a
good deal of unsettledness, of leaning
first this way, then that, then the other
way. 1t was hard for us to get our
bearings. call to mind an instance of
this. l was plotting Oh the Mississippi
when the news came that South Caro-
lima had gone out of the Union on the
Goth OF December, 1860. My pilot.mate
was a New Yorker. He was strong
for the Union; SO was |. But he would
not listen to me with any patience; my
loyalty was smirched, to his eye, be-
cause my father had owned slaves. l
said, in p~alllation of this dark fact, that
[ had heard my father say, some years
before he died, that slavery was a
great wrong, and that he would free
the solitary negro he then owned if he
could think it right to give away the
property of the family when he was so
straitened in means. My mate retorted
that a mere impulse was nothing-any-
body could pretend to a good impulse;
and went on decrying my Unionism
and llbeling nay ancestry, A month
later the secession atmosphere had con.
siderably thickened on the lower
Mississippi, and | became a rebel; so
did he. We were together in New
Orleans, the 25th Of January, when
Louisiana went out of the Union. He
did his full share of the rebel shout
ing, but was bitterly opposed to letting
me do mine. He said that | came Of
bad stock-of a father who had been
willing to set slaves free. In the fol-
lowing summer he was plotting a fed
eral gun-boat and shouting for the
Union again, and | was in the confed-
crate army. l held his note for some
borrowed money. He was n of the
most upright mel l ever knew: but he
repudiated that note without hesita-
ton. because | was a rebel, and the son
of a man who owned slaves"
