THE DEPARTMENT OF MANUFACTURERS

The futility of creating a cabinet Of
flee to promote any industrial interest
has been sufficiently proved by the ex-
pertinent in agriculture. We have had
full-fedged department of agricult-
ure for about seven years. During that
time we have had secretary of agri-
culture to sit the cabinet and devote
his time to the promotion of agronom-
ic interests. If national assembly of
farmers should be called together to
consider whether their interests had
been promoted by this official estab-
lishment it would conclude with prac-
tical unRnimity that they had not.
Nothing more Can bs expected from
an establishment Of officials Ii styled
department Of manufactures, unless
it is made an instrument for securing
benefits to manufacturers at the ex-
pense OF others. We have had far too
much of this favoritism already. The
country does not want any official ma
chine created for the class of manu-
featuring capitalists more of the sort
of thing which the sui RENE court OF
the United States Indignantly con-
demned as robbery under the forms of
law.
If we need an additional official es-
tabllshment in this relation we need it
to protect the people against the rapac-
ity of the beneticiaries of the protec-
tive system. II that system is to be
perpetuated it ought to be limited by
law to periods of not more than ten
years. At the end of every such period
protection should cease entirely in the
case of every industry where it was not
established affirmatively by exhibition
of book and accounts and otherwise
that the industry would be in LANCER
of destruction if protection were with
drawn. And in no case should an
industry be protected for more than
twenty years. To effect this protection
of the victims Of protection it might be
we'll to establish an investigating bu-
reau to be known as the bureau for the
weaving of overfed and too obstrepor-
Gus industrial infants.-Chicago Chron-
icle.

The Presidential Succession

The presidential and vlce-presldentl
Offices have never in our history both
become vacant during a presidential
term. Several presidents have died in
office-Harrison, Taylor, Lincoln and
Garfield-but the vice-president took
up the office and survived the term.
Vice-Presidents Clinton, Gerry, King,
Wilson and Hendricks have died
in office. John g. Calhoun re-
signed to become senator from South
Carolina. In 1886 a new statute was
passed by Congress changing the sue
cession, and now in the event of the
death or removal Of 10th President or
Vice President, the succession de-
wolves upon members of the Cabinet
in the following order: Secretary of
State, Secretary of the Treasury. Secre-

THE BACHELOR And THE CHATTING DISH.
BY DEsHLEa WEIGH. Z. Tennyson Nicely,
Chicago. For sale by Stoll Il Ihaycr.
It is very nice to turn from book
which leaves bad taste in the mouth
to one that is both sweet and whole
some. We do not sea how anything
more attractive and useful than this
hand some and finely edited volume
could have been thought of, as min
istering to daily life. First, there are
some very charming little essays, as
practical as they are picturesque,to form
ing a sort Of introduction to the more
serious matter, like A Lunch With
Her, Chasing the Rabbit, etc. Then
and Sauces, and The Autocrat and the
Chatting Dish. Under this latter head
are given more than hundred recipes
for the chatting dish, the most of then
being special contributions to this
book. Besides very clear table of
contents there IL most elaborate in
deX. In fact, it is one of the most COM
plete and satisfactory little books of
the year, and sure to find its way into
the household.
The Bookman thus gives the Dial of
Chicago sharp little dig, which the
latter must have felt keenly, but con-
corning which it has made no sign:
"Much as we like our contemporary,
the Dial, we must protest earnestly
when it begins to play tricks with the
English language. Here it is using a
barbaric verb, "to PEDESTAL. e., to
set upon a pedestal. This may do
around the stockyards, but the Dial
should remember that it has eastern
friends and readers"
