THE PRESIDENTIAL TERM.

The New York Evening Post is OPP
posed TO the two proposed amendments
TO the constitution, one of which would
extend the presidents term to six years
and make him ineligible to reelection.
and the other which would extend the
term of representatives to three years.
1t says there is one fatal objection to
extending the tenure of the executive.
It is always possible that a man who
was never thought of for president and
who would never have been nominated
for president may as vice-president
succeed to the office This has hap
pened four times within the last So
years, and in three of the cases during
the first few months of the term. Elk
tend the term TO six years. and we
may have the White House filled for five
years and II months Of the period by
a man whom the country would never
have elected as president. The risks
OF the present system are too great to
be further increased.
The objection that q weak vice-presi.
dent may succeed a strong president
through the death of the latter, Is
hardly such a one as should kill the

LIFE IMPRISONMENT

The board of pardons has committed
the death sentence of Harry Hayes to
life Imprisonment. As to tie Justice
or propriety of the action O: the board.
we have no comments to make. but
make it the occasion, the case being so
notorious AMI having attracted so
much attention, to call attention to
the fact that in some of the states Gf
we mistake noD, and in some European
countries, a life sentence is he'd to have
been served when the prisoner under
going it has served an actual term of
20 or p years, which, OF course, means
that the prisoner can have no benefit
{ of the copper act.
This idea of making definite term
of years equal TO a life sentence is in
accordance with the most advanced
thought on genealogical matters
Where Of sufficient duration it is held
to accomplish every object to be gained
by an actual life service in prison.
Just what the effect the Discriminate
life sentence upon criminals is it is
hard TO sa~. The statistics on the
matter, so far as we are aware. are
not complete enough to warrant such
deduction as would serve as a safe
guide. There are cases where there is
TO danger whatever to society from
such a law. while again there are cases
in which it would be an actual danger.
\ case of the former kind has just oc-
CURED in New York, where Governor
Morton. before retiring from the office
of chief executive, committed the life
sentence of one George +. Gordon to a

confined there for a period Of 81 years,
he having been sentenced in 1866. when
he was 3 years of age. Gordon's re-
lease win work no harm to the state of
New York or any other state.
\ case of life imprisonment the very
opposite of this is that of Jesse Pome-
roy, known in criminal history as the
boy murderer" He has been in
the Charleston, Mass, prison for
20 years, and during all that
time has been planning escapes.
he having attempted to execute
one but a week or two ago His
release would be a decided danger to
Massachusetts, or any state to which
ne might choose to go.
This life imprisonment question is a
vexed one, as are all others connected
with the punishment and reform of
criminals. Perhaps its best solution
is to let each case be passed upon by
the pardoning power, especially when
such power is lodged in board of par

with the federal government that has
caused disquietude and a feeling of
uncertainty and unrest. From the
commencement of the Cleveland adj
ministration, with threatened revisions
of the tariff down to the report of the
committee on foreign relations recog-
nizing the independence. of Cuba, there
has been series of events and sur
prises Which have kept the market in
state of nervous prostration. 1t
would no sooner recover from one
shock than it would get another on
the other side and men who have gone
through such an experience for four
years are shy whenever they hear
strange sound from whatever source
it may come. We now have the anon
alous condition of the entire business
interests of the country kept in con-
slant state of anxiety and alarm for
fear the representatives of the people
in congress shall do some foolish or
absurd thing"
1t is pleasant to observe that the
silver question is not alleged as the
cause of the present bad condition of
business. But if tariff tinkering at
the beginning of the Cleveland admin
istration had bad effect on business,
why should not tariff tinkering at the
beginning of the Mckinley administra-
ton have the same effect?

ELIMINATION AND RECRIMINA-
TION-EAST AND WEST.


It is time that various sections of
the country quit calling each other
names and pointing out their short
comings merely for the purpose of
/ jeering and fault-fnding, and gloating
over them. The people of no section
of the country are perfect; those of
each have their virtues as well as their
faults. But is has become almost a
fixed habit for the papers and people
of the east and of the west to hold
up the faults of the people Of either
sections to ridicule, ridicule that is ac-
cOmpanied with more or less acrimony.
No possible good can come to any
one of all this, but much harm may
very easily. Only the other day Cover
nor Leedy of Kansas took occasion
in his inaugural address to berate New
York in very severe language The
berating lost much of its force because
of the attempt at fine writing. The
many attacks from the east upon Kan
sas prompted this attack by Governor
Leedy That he should have made it
shows how keenly Kansas feels the
taunts that she has been subjected to-.
Her political career of late years has
been erratic and not at all in har-
mony with those ideas usually ac-
cepted as the American standard. If
this is so in the case of Kansas. it
should be remembered that the ideas
that were considered pre- eminently
American half d century or more ago,
have been very radically departed from
in the older states.
If Governor Leedys attack upon
New York serves to draw attention to
the estrangement that is gradually
growing up between the east and the
west, chiefly the result of mutual
haunting. it viii have served an ex-
cellent purpose. There is need of some
thing to draw attention to the very
regrettable fact that an estrangement
between the two sections is growing
up. These tauntings only beget hatred,
and hatred never begOt anything but
evil; and never will. These United
States of America are our common
country. and the efforts Of the people of
the various states should be to make
themselves more homogeneous. All that
tends to the disparagement of the peo-
pie of one state or one section should
be discouraged. The elimination and
recrimination that have been going on
between the east and the west for the
past few years has engendered a strong
feeling OF dislike and disrespect, dis
regard and disapprovai for each other,
that viii inevitably result in perma-
nent III feeling between the two sec
tons if it is not stopped Immediately.
Already it has become a more or less
difficult matter for either section to
acknowledge the worth and merit of
the other, or to acknowledge that while
each has its advantages it also has its
disadvantages.
Mutual respect and consideration
between the different sections of our
common country are of more perma-
nent value to it than anything else:
all other things lose much of their
worth without these

The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Ledger quotes a well
known business man of New York. who
was recently in Washington. as saying
regarding the present condition of bust
hess throughout the country: Since
the Barring failure, in 1890, the loss of
confidence resulting therefrom has
caused a constant drawing in of cap
ital from all enterprises that carried
any possible risk The result of this
has been to make money very sensi-
tive The shrinkage in value from
the regular market quotations of four
years ago have been enormous, run
ming into thousands of millions. That
is, popular investments, which are
banks. are now worth a small amount
of money compared to their value four
years ago. They have shrunken nearly
one-half This experience naturally
pal1es the holders of such investments
very apprehensive of danger, and
while they may be confident in their
own minds that congress will not tale
any reckless action they are not sure
how the chances of such a thing may
affect the minds of others. Therefore,
there is a general undercurrent of dis
trust and timidity among the men who
have capital It appears that every
time confidence has begun to grow,
particularly during the last four years,
SOMETHING has happened in connection

proposition. The Post SAYS that in
the past IS years four men have become
president through the death of the
president. who would never have Eeen
nominated for president. That may
possibly be- but the real test is how
the men upon whom devolved the du-
ties of president, through the death of
the president, discharged those duties.
That Tyler was a disappointment there
is no question: but Fillmore probably
did as well as Taylor would have done.
johnson succeeded Lincoln. Lincoln
was so great that any man who might
have succeeded him would not have
measured up to him; but Johnson was
no insignificant or inferior man by any
means, and that his administration Will
be better thought of by future genera
lions than by the one that knew him.
there is no doubt. That Arthur would
never have been nominated for presi-
dent is true. but he made very much
better president than was anticipated,
while there is no reason to -hink that
Garfield would have made great or
particularly successful president had
he lived.
While we cannot think the Posts OBJ
lection to the extension of the presi-
Dental term valid one, we are in
clined to agree with what it says about
the present long and short sessions OF
congress. It says the change that IS
needed in this respect is one which
Will convene congress in the January

and enable two long sessions to be
held before the next election.

The New York Tribune says the
Alabama iron furnaces are selling more
of their product in England than in
America, and can hardly fill their or
ders. That is indeed carrying Goals to
Newcastle; to meet the English iron
producers on their own field and beat
them in prices is a genuine industrial
triumph full of significance to them
and to our own producers. 1t is not
our first invasion of the British iron
market, but so far it is the most i'm
portant in magnitude. and points the

TALES OF THE DAY.
A Great Shot.

Letters of Lord Blackboard" The Duke
of Malakhoff was at a battue at Strath-
fieIdsaye. and shot nothing. much to his
disgust: and when the day was over it
appeared that he would be extremely put
out unless he was allowed or enabled to
kill something. So. in spite of all the
gamekeeDcr could think, feel or say, a
pheasant was procured, tied by its leg to
tie top of a post, and Malakhoff was
put some 80 yards off with a double-bar-
relied gun 1t was supposed that he would
thereuDou and thence take two shots at
the bird. Not a hit of it; he loaded both
barrels. walked close up to the pheasant,
nut the muzZle close to him and dis
charged both barrels into him with He,
coouin." The next day the Duke of Wei
lington told the keeper that Malakhoff
was a great man who had smoked to
death 500 Arab men. women and children
in a cave; to which the gamekeeper re-
piled: Like enough, your grace; he'd be
ca-,able of anything
