A Question That oughtto be Settled.

A Question That Ought 10 be Settled
The thou sht that was uppermost YES
terdsy. in almost every ones mind in
connection with the death Of Vice Presl-
dent Hendricks, was the confusion, and
perhaps trouble. that would arise in the
event OF the death OF President Cleveland
before the meeting and organization Of
Congress. OF course, while the death OF
President Cleveland IN the very near fu-
ture is not at all probable, it is possible
and the fact that there is but one life De-
tween the American people and the Presi-
dency, as Secretary Bayard described the
situation when the death Of the Vice
President was announced to him, causes
a feeling OF uneasiness at the closeness of
a very grave danger.
There Is no President pro tempore Of the
Senate and no Speaker Of the House, and
there is absolutely no one who would be
authorized to discharge the duties Of
President, if President Cleveland should
die before the election OF a President Of
the Senate or a Speaker OF the House.
1t is a remarkable fact, which ELECTED
comment at the time. that no President
pro tempore was elected by the Senate at
its extra session last March. Why this
important ty was not discharged by the
Senate is one Of the things that has not
yet been satisfactorily explained.
Mr. Justice Strong is quoted as saying
that Mr.. Hendricks refused to permit the
election Of a Presidentpro tempore, IN &C
cOrdance with precedent, but 1t seems
strange that he should have declined TO
vacate the chair for little time for that
purpose, knowing as he did the grave
consequences that might possibly follow
the failure TO elect presiding Office. If
the statement of Mr.. Justice Strong is
correct it would be interesting to know
what Mr.. Hendricks reasons for his
action were.
This question OF providing for a sue
cessor to the President, in the event of bis
death and of the death of all of those for
whose occupation of the vacancy the con-
stitution provides, has been before Con-
gress for a long time. Several measures
fo- its settlement were pending in the
last Congress, but they made little pro-
gress because they afforded opportunities
" gam pOllliCdl advantages WHICH edc0
party insisted upon having. AS neither
party would make concessions nothing
was done, although both parties realized
that there was grave danger in delay.
The measure that appeared to meet
with the most favor, was the one that pro-
vided that in the event OF the death of the
President and Vice President the Presi-
dency should be filed by the Presi-
dent pro tempore of the Senate, and
if there were no President OF the Senate
or Speaker Of the House, then by the Sec
rotary OF State, and if no Secretary Of
State, then by the Secretary OF the Treas-
ury, and so on through all the Secreta-
ries in the order Of their rank as indicated
by the date of the creation of their respec-
tive Offices.
1t is clear that the danger is too great
to permit Of delay in the settle
ment of this important question. 1t
ought to be one of the first things to en-
engage the attention of Congress after Its
meeting.

was a man 20 love and honor. He was a

that she should give public expression to

the many enterprises which are shortly
expected TO begin operations in Abilene

ceived from wealthy men in Richmond,
Kentucky, stating that they desire to
start bank on Chestnut street with n
capital Uf 500 1000. There are two banks
now i'll the city, both of which do a
llourlshing business, and these is ample
room for third. Chestnut street is
rapidly becoming a leading thorough
iare. Several large brick stores have
lately commenced operations upon it,
and plans have already been drawn pre.
paratOry 10 the erection of several addi-
lional buildings of the same material.
Indeed, the day for frame buildings on
the street has passed. The
street Is also south Of the railroad
track, aud through 1t passes
almost the entire wagon traffic of the
city. The two banks now in operation
are on Pine street, on the north side of
the railroad track.

hundred thousand dollars.
