The Presidency Pro temporc of the
Senate.


1t is not clear whether there is u Presi-
dent pro tempore of the United States
Senate or not-a question which would
become of great moment in the event of u
sudden decease of President Cleveland.
As good an authority as Justice Miller of
the Supreme Court, is quoted as holding
that as the Senate at the last session did
not terminate the tenure of office of Mr..
Edmunds as President pro tenn, he is still
the President pro tenn, to hold Office I'M
til the return of the Nice-president or
until the Senate elects his successor. This
tenure, Justice Miller says is not limited
by a single session, for the Senate is a body
in perDctuO, not expiring by limitation, as
does the House of Representatives. "Mr
Edmunds, D." he remarked" has not made
any request to be relieved. In his address to
the Senate in the closing hours of the
Fortyeighth Congress he did not speak of
resigning. During the special session of
the Senate he was not given any chance
by Vice-President Hendricks to take the
chair. There was no caucus of Republi-
cans to consider the election of Presi-
dent pro TEN. Unless he should demand
that his place be filled by an election, it
would appear to be not only delicate but
an unnecessary thing to do to force
change"
On the other hand, many Senators
hold that the appearance of a
Vice-President terminated the Office of
President pro TEN, and they are talking
of Edmunds, Logan and Sherman for the
place. Friends of Senator Logan make
the point that Gen. Logan was the choice
of his party for Vice President a Vear opo

Shall we Have a Large Army.

Do we need it ? General Sheridan
thinks we do. He repeats the recommen-
dation Of his predecessor, that the army
be increased. In his opinion each regiment
should have two more companies at least,
and even this increase, he thinks, would
be insufficient.
Our army now consists of nearly 1900
men 1t has proved adequate for all
emergencies and, indeed, its full strength
has not been taxed by any demands made
upon it since the close of the civil war.
The need for IA larger army seems to be
decreasing rather than increasing. East
of the Mississippi few United States
troops are needed The army has TO gar
rison the frontier forts, watch the Indians
and quell the disorders likely to arise in IL
sparSely settled country. As the CiviliZa-
ton and population of the West increase,
the need of Il standing army in this sec.
ton must naturally decrease. The Indian
tribes from which any danger is to be ap-
pretended are few Intelligent men up
on the frontier believe that we are not
likely to have any more Indian wars of
much extent,
But, 1t may be objected, what if an
other serious internal rebellion should
arise, or what if we should be involved in
war with some foreign powery These
contingencies are remote. But sup

The Internal Revenue.

The internal revenue bureau has pub
lished its report for the past year. the IN.
junction of secrecy having been removed
by Secretary Manning. The report is one
of great interest, and will occasion wide
discussion in the brief space which re-
mains before Congress assemblies The
New England States, as appears from the
report, have contributed internal revenue
taxes in the following sums: Massachu-
sets 2,2S7 ,453 New Hampshire 1888 AS,
Maine S53,950, Connecticut Sl2626, Rhode
Island 1927, 5S7, Vermont S29,SSO
OF all the States Illinois pays the heav-
lest interval revenue tax, amounting to
s23, 075, S65 The lowest returns are from
our own State, from Aldbam, Arkansas,
Kansas, Maine, Mississippi and South
Carolina.
The production of distilled spirits accord
ing to the report, has amounted to SOS, $50, =
900, falling Off of over twelve per cent, as
compared with last year Cigars have de-
creased 96,0O0,0O0 and cigarettes 10000
900. On the other hand the production of
raw tobacco, snuff and malt liquor has
increased. AS liquors pay about three
fourths of the internal revenue taxes and
tobacco the rest, the small returns from
Vermont are easily explained.
The entire amount of liquor in the
United States at the present time accord
ing to the report, is about 9O,00O0OO gal
Ions, of which nearly nethird is in the
hands of retail dealers. The latter num-

retail tobacco dealers 472. $50
The total receipts from all sources of in
ternal revenue for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1859, were SIP, 42l ,121, as com
pared with Sl2l ,590,039 for 1854 Sl44 Dob
344 for 1888, and SAG, 523 ,273 for 1882, show
ing steady decrease of the governments
revenue from this source.
The cost Of collection for the present
fiscal year was 81, Al, 43O against S6769l4
for 1884. The total expenses oft service
during the past year were about 80 per
cent of the amount collected.
The commissioner states that the gen
eral condition of the service is excellent,
and that the collectors and their subordi-
mates show commendable zeal in the per
formance of their duties. Six hundred
and twenty-four violations of the internal
revenue laws have been reported by reve-
nue. agents during the year, two-hundred
and thirty-fOur persons having been ar
rested on their information, and property

No Danger of Anarchy.
Worcester S'py.1

The thought is intolerable that the Pres
ident of the United States cannot 90
where he pleases for fear of assassination.
OF course President Cleveland's death
from any cause, and especially by violence
would be II calamity most sincerely to be
mourned. But the political consequences
that might be expected to follow it have
been absurdly exaggerated. His precious
life" says the New York Herdtd, sis all
that stands between the country ard an
archy." Does the Ucrdld believe that
the people OF the United States would all
o stark, staring mad, ii the President
should die? They would all be greved,
of course, and would display their grief
III decOrOus manner, but public
and private business would go on, except
so far as it might be interrupted by the
usual tributes of respect and mourning
ceremonies, aud neither in the public of
ices in Washington nor elsewhere would
there be any sign of anarchy or of depart
ure from the customary course of bust
ness. The American people have had too
much training in selfgovernment to go
wild all at once simply because there
might for II few days be no one who had
the right to be called President of the
United States.

The New York Campaign.

II has come to be understood that the
Governorship of New York is only de.
gree removed from the Presidency, or at
least from the Cabinet Therefore, IL is
something to be mentioned" in connection
with the nomination. Just now there are
indications that Wall street would like to
renew its acquaintance with the political
machine, and to that end various candi.
dates are being pushed forward for inspec-
tion.
Mr.. Joseph w. Drexel, formerly of the
hanking-house of Drexel, Morgan & Co., Is
the latest aspirant, and tho Baltimore Sun
condenses his alleged qualifications into
single sentence when it says he "could
nj ite all the factions and displease none;
md is new man, unidentified with past
+ Ctional strife, yet with clear business
record behind him."
Perhaps it would be as well to let the
Wall-street candidates alone, since it has
been abundantly demonstrated during re-
cent years that money at elections will
not win. Otherwise, the issue of the last
campaign might have been different, and
the history of 1876 remained unwritten.
New York needs good man, whose weight
Is not his only qualification, and whose
wealth Will not interfere with the wheat
crop.

The members OF the Bar Association and
other citizens of Washington who believe
that vacancies upon the Supreme Court
bench should bo filled by residents of the
District have just aud natural pride in
this matter. Other things being equal the
District should have preference, but it IS of
the utmost Importance that this court, by
reason Of its ominence and tho vast re-
sponsibilities with which IL Is clothed
should be composed Of the soundest, broad
est and best judicial ability to bo found In
the country. If the District can furnish
such talent so much the better.
lt is urged upon another hand that the
District would have no grave cause of COM
plant If in the selection of judges for a
court which is virtually national in it's
character the fold for selection should be
correspondingly national.
There is no sort Of question as to the pro-
priety and justice of filling all the local
Offices with District men, without excep.
tion, on the same principle, but with greater
force, that similar Territorial offices should
be assigned to citizens of the Territories.
The latter, however, do not all insist that this
principle should be carried out in the ap-
pointment of their chief judicial offices.
Knowing the peculiar Importance of these,
they recognize the wisdom of looking else
where, if 1t be necessary, to insure them
the ablest possible bench. But there is no
Territorial court that begins to compare in
dignity, power and breadth of jurisdiction
with the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia. Hence the greater need of caro-
in its constitution.
