THE VICE PRESIDENCY.

1t is noticeable that while the demo-
cratic press Is predicting all sorts of
clashes when Col. Roosevelt assumes
the vice-presi esidency. the leaders of the re-
publican party look forward to his in
cumbency with complete satsfac-

March 4,
Speaking Of the presidential and vice
presidential Offices, r. A. Clifton, Of St.
Louis, said last week:
l noted some curious things in con-
nection with these offices the other day,
when l was looking up another matter.
AS every one knows, the vice presidency
was originally regarded as almost on a
par with the presidency, and the great
est men in the land eagerly sought it in
the beginnings of the republic. George
Washington's vice president was John
Adams. who succeeded him in the presi-
Dental office. John Adams, when presi-
| dent, had Thomas Jefferson for his vice
! president. and was in turn succeeded
| by him. Jefferon had a close fight for
| the first Office with Aaron Burr, whom
| he defeated by the closest of margins.
| Burr took the lesser Office, which he
held at the time he fought that historic
| and disastrous duel which resulted in
| Alexander Hamiltons death and put a
final period to Burr's political career
| Martin Van Buren also served as vice
president prior to becoming president
These three men were elected to the
greater office after holding the lesser
offic. but since Van Buren no man who
had been vice president has been elected
president. Vice President John Tyler
succeeded William Henry Harrison or
the latter's death, month or SO after
he took the oath of Office, and MillarG
Fillmore stepped from the vice presi
dency into the presidency upon the
! death of Zachary Taylor. An assassin:
bullet put Johnson in the first office il
the gift of the people, and his subse
| quent actions therein almost brought hi
deposition therefrom. The murder o
Garfield brought Chester A. Arthur for
ward. These are all the vice presidents
who have served as presidents.

NEW MEXICO AND STATEHOOD.

New Mexico is once more to the front
demanding admission to the union.
vigorous campaign is promised by the
territory, and in support of their claim
the representatives of New Mexico call
attention to the fact that it now has
population Of 1871 of which 1881 are
Indians. while IN 1890 the population was
but l5S. 593. and in 1850. 1886. This gives
a population larger than Delaware. lua-
no. Nevada or Wyoming.
1t is not so illterate as Louisiana or
South Carolina In 1890 Louisiana con-
tained 364 1S4 iliterate persons. South
Carolina $50. 705 and New Mexico 5000.
That il is becoming better educated is
demonstrated. its illiteracy in ten years
decreasing n per cent. as shown by the
census of 1890. In the past decade a new
element has located in the territory and
close attention has been paid to edu-
cation. So the census of 1900 will un-
doubtedly make a much better showing
in this respect than its predecessor. The
heaviest percentage of its illteracy is
among the female population. but this
decreased ~ per cent from 1880 to 1890.
The territory is wealthy It's per capita
wealth will average $3.50. Its aggregate
wealth is 1924, 900, 900. In 1880 it was $23l.-
400 900 exceeding Oklahoma. Indian ter
ritory. Wycming. Arizona. Nevada and
Idaho. Since 1880 however, Oklahoma
has completely outstrirped it in the
growth Of population. wealth and indus
trial enterprises. Everything that is
said for New Mexico can be doubled and
trebled in speaking Of Oklahoma. except
wealth. which. however, is greater than
that of New Mexico. being about $780,
00O 900. and while New Mexico may have
all the requirements of statehood, she
must be content to take second place
to oklahoma.

A "THIRD RAIL" ROAD.

Last week third rail- electric rail-
way was opened for operation from
Hudson to Albany, N. Y. This is the
first time that this type of road has
been put in operation for general busi-
ness. all the work heretofore done in
that direction being along the line of
tests and experiments. The Hudson
River third rail line worked perfectly.
and the Importance of it is beyond
reckoning at this time. 1t is stated that
the officials of the Vanderbilt system
have only waited for an endorsement OF
the third rail" system by their mechan-
ical experts before adopting it in place
of steam locomotives in the tunnel from
the Grand Central to the Harlem river.
The least that is claimed for the new
system so far is that it solves the prob
lem of how to propel heavy trains
through underground passages and
through long tunnels with perfect safety
at a high rate of speed, while keeping
| the tunnel or passage entirely free from
| all noxious gases.
This attainment is in itself happy

THE DEMAND FOR SILVER.

While gold has taken it's place as the
chief money metal among all the great
nations. silver finds active employment,
especially in retail transactions, all over
the world. This is especially true in
the far east. 1t is stated that during
this year. India and China have taken
97l7O0OO ounces of silver, an increase
of 66.s per cent over 1899. China took
from London this year $1o,S15.359 worth
of silver and from San Francisco $l2,-
625.425 worth, besides some millions
from Australia. Japan took $5O0,52s and
british India $29, ,O95. $50, besides the mil
lions obtained directly from Australia
The entire silver product of 1899 was
i74. .723 1868 ounces. AS the east has taken
81 10000 ounces and a large quantity is
used yearly in the arts and for the sub
sidiary coinage of gold standard coun-
tries, the amount left in the markets is
comparatively small and, naturally,
prices have tended upward.
Despite the famine and plague, business
has been brisk in India and the demand
in that country for silver for the retail
trade has been large. To meet this
demand for the rupee, the Indian gov
ernment has paid gold for silver, coming
large quantities of the latter metal.
In that country, as in our own, gold
Is the metal used in international trade,
and in all of the large transactions, but
silver is more convenient for pocket
change and for retail dealings.
The Chinese merchants, owing to the
unsettled condition of affairs there
want silver for their exports instead OF
western wares in exchange, and thai
has added materially to the present de-
mand. There can be no doubt but tina
the requirements of the east IS the mair
factor in advancing the price of th
white metal.

PRACTICAL PHILANTHROPY.

A strong vein of good common sense
is naturally to be expected in anything
that Andrew Carnegie says. Last Thurs
day he was one Of the speakers at
Thanksgiving reception held at the
Montefiore home for Chronic Invalids,
in New York City, and after praising
the race for whom the home was built,
defined the principle that guided him
in his own philanthropy. His remarks
we're thoroughly characteristic Of the
man. He said:
Philanthropists should use their means
with Judgment There are what might
be called dubious philanthropists who
have more money than they have sense.
Money given by people without thought.
except to relieve themselves of oblga-
tions, is Cf little benefit. 1t is of no use
to help a man climb a ladder unless he
will do the climbing. He will let you
boost but the moment you let go he
| falls and his last state is worse than his
| first.
| Men like to build monuments, but most
| of them are in poor taste. A stately
| mausoleum may cost vast sum. But
here for $1,000 you can have the best
monument ever built. for $1,000 you can
have in perpetuity life membership in
| this institution, a good bargain even for
Scot.

RISE AND FALL OF ACTOR BRUNE.

Clarence NJ. Brune, has opened up a
new avenue for advancement to the
stage struck. His plan is an exceedingly
simple one. but is wonderfully effective.
Heretofore, the stage struck maiden or
youth have found it necessary to start
in at the foot of the dramatic ladder;
to endure all sorts of buffetings and
contumely before they could hope to
get anywhere near the top round.
Mr.. Bruno has changed all that, and

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The papers that are unfriendly to the

difficult to discover anything in the
pl esidents message that will furnish a
text for criticism.
The message presents. in brief form,
the record of the country's development.

Standing on the threshold Of his sec
ond term Of office, President Mckinley

fore in all its history; prospering in
commercial sense and in the growth Of
national spirit. A still greater era Of
progress is dawnng upon the republic,

10 say that President McKinley's mes
sage is worthy of the great occasion.

, The spirit that is to animate his ad-
ninistration is perhaps. best set out in
the closing passage of his message, as
follows.
In our great prosperity we must guard
aeinst the dangers it invites in extraVa-
gance in government expenditures ana

1atives of the people will, doubt not

ress and Won it. Next he found an act
sideration of a large sum of money
agreed to sink his own individuality and
become Clarence Nj. Bruno 1.-The sterling
young actor. 1t worked like charm.
Mr.. Bruno organized a first class COM
pany, took to the road and was soon
winning laurels and getting back a por-
ton of the cash he paid to his represen-
tative. And so today from Butte to Ell
Paso, from San Francisco to Montreal,
Clarence is known as a sterling actor
and the husband of Mrs. Bruno.
OF course. Mr.. Bruno was compelled
occasionally, to change actors. Those
who represented him on the stage be-
came opuent and retired for season
to their country houses, or else insisted
upon spending a summer at Paris. But
they kept faith, and the young man
who couldn't act mounted higher and
higher on the ladder Of fame.
Now he has fallen with an awful crash.
Melbourne Mac Dowell, the husband
of the late Fanny Davenport was brutal
enough to kick the ladder and bring Mr..
Brune down in a heap.
1t seems that Mr.. Bruno and his wife
have been starring in Sardou's The
| Of
but the big posters and little play bills
all heralded him as the unrivaled Mar
cellus of the play. That part was really
| filled by John NJ. Sturgeon, and while
the company was playing in Montreal
MacDowell heard the facts and exposed
Mr. Brune. AS he owns the play, he an
nounced that unless Mr.. Bruno acted the
part himself or quit masquerading, he
could not have the drama.
Mr.. Rrune, in his own defence, says II
is customary for all great actors to have
understudies and that is all he has beer
guilty of. True, he carried the idea
further than any one else has done, anC
as for that, we'll, he simply claimed
credit for greater originality than the
Others He also points out that man,
actors, even Mr.. MacDowell himself
might emulate his example without i'm
poverishing the dramatic art.
It is great idea, and as Mr.. Bruno
failed to copyright it, the way is opel
for any stage struck maiden or youni
man with half a million loose casl
about them, to become "Amerlcas S Ia
