The Succession

Commenting on the act WEIGH re-
ceived the official sanction last week,
the Washington Post says:
So far as the succession to the Pres
idency is concerned the question is
settled for the next four years, and,
what is more, is settled satisfactorily.
No reasonably conceivable contingent
cy will prevent the will Of thepeople,
as expressed at the last election, from
continuing in control of the Govern
ment during the present Presidential
term. Mr.. Bayard is now acting
Vice-President of the United States.
While it is matter of congratula-
ton that the present Presidential
term is fully and satisfactorily pro-
vided for, it should be remembered
that under the bill which has just be-
come law grave complications might
arise in the future. While the Hoar
bill was under discussion in the House
many objections were n ade to it, and
though it was the part Of patriotism
to provide for present safety by eXpe-
diting its passage in unaltered form,
just as it came from the Senate, yet ii
was by no means accepted as a final
ity.

a cannon shot from Turner hall.
The daughter wanted to marry
man who hadn't enough money to
pay for wedding trip to Gayville

had discovered her little scheme
and resolved to put a veto upon it. !
Keeping close watch upon .he
girl the shrewd parent detected
that an elopement had been planned
for that evening. Pretending to
retire early he slipped to the roof
and awaited developments. About
ii O'Clock he saw her sweetheart
cautiously approaching with lad
der. Letting him SET it up to the
window the old man waited until
he assembled directly beneath him.
Then something shot down from the
roof, and as the young man fdmbled
to the ground and rolled around
his former dark clothing had be-,
come ghostly, ghostly white. The
old man had struck him fair and
square with ten pound bag of
flour.
