TH:; pRESIl;EN SUCCESS
ION.

[ tNtS yesterday S>itli ~ i'''.S Wv
er the question: Of succession 70 TIT
presidency presented by the deaf!
Of Vice President Hendricks.
1t now turns out that during tht
last session Of the Senate the vice
president WAS not absent single
day, thus giving the Republicans
no opportunity OF rlecting Il presl
dent pro TEN. 1t was the hope OF
Mr.. Hendricks to hold this matte!
in allowance until a further turn OF
the political wheel should give his
PARTY control of the Senate, When
!. sound, conservative Democrat
could be elected to the position.
But the vice-presllent met with
an unexpected death before such a
turn in affairs came, and there is
to-day no president pro ten, of the
Senate, There is also no speaker
of the House. IfEleveland should
die Tomorrow, the next Office III
succession to the presidency IS the
chief justice of the Supreme Court,
who would hold until the assem-
bling of Congress ten days hence.
But the Republicans will proceed
at once to elect a president CT the
Senate upon the assembling OF
Congress who will be chosen is a
matter Of speculation. 1t is feared
that the r;,hid and irrAsciole and
bitter Edmonds may be elected;
but there is said to he strong
feeling anon & the Republicans that
Senator Logan should be chosen,
now that his party has within its
gift the very Office for which lie
was nominated in the last canvass.
A good compromise man is sus'
gostcd in the person Of Senator
Allison, of Iowa, who would
prove more acceptable to Demo
Gratis than any other leading men,
Der Of his party.
But a Republican of either mild
or ralld view will he chosen. and
this officer will succeed to the ,'resl-
drncy in the event that Cleveland
should die. But he would bold
office only until Il new election could
be held, when the duly chosen sue
cessor of the president would be
installed.
The manner Of choosing his sue
lessor was outlined yesterday. The
secretary of state notifies the exec
ltivcs Of the varions States, whn
APPOINT electors, if the time is
short; if the time remaining OF the
term is long, these e'ac-
ors ARE INJECTED 10y the people,
md new president is chosen as
Usual.
The danger, therefore, (Which is
urthcr contingent: upon the death
# a very healthy, active and
trong man) does not extend be-
'Ond a brief term Of service Of the
president of the Senate.
The most distressing feature of
ucn an outcome would he the
General disturbance of the countr,
which would result from another
'eated presidential campaign.
But after all, such strains Oh our
government system only go to
how how wonderfully vital it is,
nd how perfectly adapted to every
hitting condition of the ration's
istory. Shocks have been encour- ,
cred which have stretched it to !.
3 utmost tension, but it seems
lily equal to every emergency to

Editor National IiCw;
This has been great day for the

ceedings with prayer, after which Il
ringing platform was adopted and the
convention adjourned,
Hon. j. NJ. Cook, of Butler county,
was nominated for the Senate.
At o'clock the Rochester band es-
cortcd Col. Harper, of Danville, ILL.,,
from Judge Gully's residence to the
court house. After some choice music
Col, Harper took the stand and deliver
ed one of the most powerful speeches
ever heard. For more than tn rec hours
the vast audience were spellbOund. At
ter the speech the legislative convention
met and nominated Judge j. L. Bacon,
OF Edmondson countyto represent But
Ter and EdmondsOn counties in the next

upon securities, as bonds which are
based on the unlimited tax levying
power of the government, or upon the
bonds and stocks of tirst-class trunk
lines of railroad corporations, whose
freight and fare rates are practically Il
tax upon the entire population and re-
sources of the regions which they tray
erse and supply.
The competition among capitalists TO
loan money on these more ample secur-
tiles has become very keen, and such
securities command money at unpre-
cedentedly low rates.
These low and lowering rates of in
tcrest instead of denoting financial
strength and industrial prosperity, are
a guage of increasing g prostration."
Is it not sufficiently shown in the
above extract from the most valuable
public document ever issued by con-
gressional committee that our present
financial distress is the result of an in
sufficient volume of money?
Our own language is too feeble for
use, compared with that above quoted
upon the subject,
Is it any wonder that the Greenback
party demands in its platform( (See sec
lion 1,quotcd May 7th) "money in suf-
licient quantities TO supply the actual
demands of trade and commerce in ac-
cordance with the increase of popula-
ton and the development of our indus
trics?"
Is not this demand a just and reason
able one, in the light of the strong Ian
guage above quoted?
In Il recent editorial article IN THE

Bondholders, mortgage-holders, usu

Eskimo Patience.

The number of years the Eskimo will

simple thing shows them to be proba-
bly, the most patient people in the
world.
When we were near King Williams
Land, | saw an Eskimo working upon
knife that, as nearly as | could ascer-
tain, had engaged good part of his
time some six years preceding that
date. lie had Il flat piece of iron, which
had been taken from the wreck of one
of Sir John Franklin's ships, and from
this he was endeavoring to make a
knife-blade, which, when completed,
would be about twelve inches long. In
cutting it from this iron plate, he was
using for chisel an old file, found
on one of the ships, which
it had taken him two or
three years TO sharpen by rubbing its
edge against stones and rocks. His
cold-chisel finished, he had been nearly
us many years cutting n straight edge
along the ragged sides of the irregular
piece of iron, and when | discovered
him he had outlined the width of his
knife on the plate and was cutting
away at it. 1t would probably have
taken him two years to cut out This
piece, and two more to fashion the knife
into shape and usefulness.
The file which he had made into
cold-chisel was such proof of labor
and patience that it was great curios-
ity to me, and gave him a butchers
knife in exchange for it. Thus almost
the very thing he had been so long try
ing to make he now Unexpectedly found

The great and still continuing fall in
the prices in the United States has
proved most disastrous to nearly every
industrial enterprise.
The bitter experience of the last few
years has been an expensive but most
thorough teacher.
1t has taught capitalists neither to in
vest money in nor loan money on such
enterprises, and just rs thoroughly has
taught business men not to borrow for
the purpose of inaugurating or prose-
cutting them.
OF the few business enterprises now
being successfully prosecuted, the larg-
er part are based on monopoly socur-
ed either by patents or exceptional con-
ditions.
The business man has discovered that
the less active and cnterprising he is
the better he is of.
The manufacturer avoids loss by
damping down furnace fires and slow
ing down machinery.
The miners ascend from the dark and
gloomy depth of the mine with scan
ty pittance called wages to find n fam
ishing household gloom that is more
profound.
Securities have already become so
impaired through falling prices that
loanable capital has fled affrighted
from the newer and more sparsely set
tied sections of the country and accu-
mulated in large amounts in the great
financial centers where securities are
most ample.
The personal and property securities
of individuals have generally ceased to
be available except at the highest rates
of interest, or at ruinously low valua-
tions.

Messrs Saul and Clark and Mrs. Quinn each
answered that they had some. Mr.. Fowler re-
marked such were the case his ground must
be too hard for them.
Mr.. Fields brought IN a basket OF roses Of the

stating this was the third crop this winter, that
about January list having been superior to
these.
Grady, Of 26th street, who claimed 1t TO he an
occidental seeding. Ii was cross of la France
and one of Mr.. Bancrofts imported roses. Mr..
Grady at that time was in the employ of Mr..
Bancroft. He did not know the value of it, for
he had sold cuttings at fifty cents.
Mr.. Fields said that they had grown il under
glass, and found that ii could be forced as easily
rs any OF the tea roses. They believed that Il
could be raised easily outdoors, but had not yet
set 1t out.
Mr.. Clark said he thought the society had
done good service in recommending good plants
and flowers when there was much fraud per-
petrated by statesmen. He offered resolution
recommending to the community the new and
beautiful rose, Seeding raised in this city
called the American Beauty
Mt. Saunders said that fraud was not ALWAYS
perpetrated knowingly, for some plants will
grow in some places and not in others, Is the
case with certain grapes. He moved that the
words ito be grown out of doors or under glass
be added TO the resolution, and in this form it
was adopted.
