CHARLES POPE of st. Louis proposes to
star next season in John McCullough's

to buy some of McCullough's stage cos
tunes. Mr.. Pope is clever actor and a
good manager, but he is hardly the genius
to work up Mccullough renaissance.

The Senate has passed Mr. Hoar's Presi-
dental Succession BILL which provides, in
case Of the deaths Of the President and vi G.
President, that the duties of the Chief Fx-
ecutlve shall deyolye upon members of the
Cabinet in the order Of their prece lence, be-
ginning with the Secretary of State The
bill is substantially the same as the one in
irodueed by Mr.. lIoar and passed by the
Senate at the last session, but it contains
clause which repeals those sections Of the
Revised Statutes that provide for holding
special election for President.
The bill WIN now go to the House. where
the chances are in favor Of It's adoption, but
it will be more fully discussed In the lower
than it was in the upper branch. That it is
not universally acceptable to members of
the House there are already proofs. Such
n prominent member of that body as Mr.
Randall evidently does not prefer IT., for he
will Introduce a bill having the same pur-
pose, but reaching the end desired in an en-
tirely different manner. Under this bill in
the case of the death, removal or disability
Of the President, the Yiee-Prosident would
become President and the electors choose a
Vice-PresideDt. In case Of the death, re-
moyal or disability both Of the President
and Viee-PresIdent, and in case no Vice
President had been elected, the Secretary
of State would act as President until an
election could be held In the event of
there being no Secretary Of State the Acting
Presidency would so in turn to other mem
bers Of the Cabinet.

ONE of Pittsburg's officials says admir-
ingly that the people Of that city are learn

Weshould think as much, seeing that 1t blows
up block or two of houses there about
three times week. Natural gas education
in Pittsburg really seems to bo compulsory.

THE Chicago Inter- ocean remarks that the
Presidents message strangely enough
overlooked every interest Of the freedmen
of the United States" We do not see the
point Of the criticim. There is no partic-
ular class Of citizens in this country outside
Of the people. The Constitution permits
no discrimination, and the President speaks
for all without regard, &c. Under the new
dispensation white folks are as much freed
men as colored folks, and the interests of
none are overlooked in the message unless
it he of those unreconstructed Democrats
who do not believe in civll-service reform.

TuE decision Of Judge McCay at Atlanta,
is not only victory for the prohibitionsts,
but carries the matter further than ever
they intended. Judge McCay has dismissed
the temporary order which he issued some
time age, restraining the proclamation Of
Prohibition in Atlanta, aud declares the re-
cent election legal In all It's respects except
one. The Prohlbltonists voted to suppress
the sale Of all Intoxicating beverages In At
l0uta except Georgia wines That exccp-
ton is declared by the Judge to be mcon-
situtional and Georgia wines must also go.
1t is thought probable that If the Prohibit
tionists had not, before the election, made
an exception of wines made in the State,
they could not have been victorious.

The CHICAGO Mail has just completed
its sixth month under the management OF
x-Postmaster-Geueral ITatton, and, very
appropriately, has few remarks to make
about its deserved success. Says Mr.. Hat
ton: sour readers will bear testimony to
the fact that we seldom refer to our own
business affairs and we do so now with that
timidity and modesty so characteristic of
the Mda' a little further on our esteemed
contemporary gives us the evidence of the
timdity and modesty so characteristic of It,
in the following bashrul terms: "On Satur-
day, December 10, the lEt1 will consist of
sixteen pages, or 1l2 columns. 1t will be
the largest, as well as the best, one,cent
newspaper ever issued in this wide world"

Mr.. GLADSTONE says that what has been
announced as his Irish programme is pre-
mature and was published without his au-
thority. Taking all the testimony so far, it
is pretty safe to presume that Mr.. Gladstone
is at least pretty fairly reported. The priu.
cipal point in contention among the politi-
seems TO be in determining who made the
first oycrturcs, Mr.. Gladstone or Mir. Par
ucll That is matter Of little moment
