an opportunity to become familiar with the

This man used to drive about We told him
we were on the track of the informer who had be-

pressed to know if John receives his sight to-

THE PRESIDENTIALS SUCCESSION
ACT.

Whatever the present congress
may do that would have better left
undone or whatever it may neglect
that it should have done, it deserves
credit, says the Philadelphia Times,
for having thus early in the session
passed a wise and necessary meas
are, the Presidential Succession bill.
Wisely as the fathers of the consti-
tuition builded they left the matter
of the succession TO the presidency
in a very unsatisfactory and imper-
feet condition. The act of 1892
scarcely bettered the situation, and
twice within the history of the re-
public has there been no legitimate
successor to the presidency in case
the acting president had been re-
moved by death.
The new law, while not perhaps
the wisest measure that could have
been devised, places the succession
beyond any probable contingency.
After the vice president the success
sion devolves in the order named
upon the secretary of state, secre-
tary of the treasury, secretary of
war, attorney general, postmaster
general, secretary of the navy and
