Il do not know any way better to Illus
trate the personal interest which is taken
by President stickney, of the Chicago
Great Western railroad. in the employees
Of his road than by reference to the plan
fnaugurated three years ago, by which
employees may become stockholders in
the road. The chief object was more
closely to identify the employees with the
road and It's interests, and to give them
an opportunity to lay by something be-
sides-such an amount as they might be
able to save from their salaries AT the
suggestion of the president, all the en-
ployes of the road were invited to pur
chase stock The plan was discussed
some time before 1t was put in operation,
but the value of the stock at that time
did not seem to the president and direct
ors stable enough to warrant them in
advising the employees to purchase. When
the proper time came, they were advised,

grave indiscretion of diet away from
home" This was the beginning Of a
strange array Of incidents which had
weight enough with Jurors and Judge to
put the wife of the patient eleven years
ago behind the bars of an English penal
prison.
1t happened that during the illness Mr..
Maybrick asked for some white powders.
His wife was at his bedside at the time,
the trained nurse having gone to dinner,
Mrs Maybrick could not turn a deaf
ear to her husband, who by this time
had been practically given up by the
physicians She went to Mr.. Maybricks
dressing room and got one Of the papers
with the powder in. This the husband
extract Of beef. This act Mrs. Maybrick
never denied at the trial, and explained
she did not know the nature Of the med
icine She swore she did not know her
husband had the arsenic habit-an afflie
tion known to all Mr.. Maybriclzs rela-
tives and oId-time friends but carefully
concealed from the young wife.
It appeared in the trial that the bottle
of beef extract with the arsenic in 1t had
never been tasted. Mrs. Maybrick was
some time finding the powder, and before
she could return and put 1t into the beef
extract her husband dropped into doze.
When he awoke he had forgotten all
about the, request he had made. lis
wife removed the beef extract to stand
out of his sight. She made no effort to
hide the bottle-took an oath she did
not. know the nature Of the powder
and, swore that, her husband did not
touch 1t. The police smiled at the oath,
and the prosecution produced a bottle
which Mrs. Maybrick asserted was not
the bottle In question. This was but a
single arsenic incident. The police found
the poison everywhere In the May

A half-century has passed from the
establishment Of the government before
a vacancy occurred by death in the great
office Vice President Tyler was at his
country home in. Virginia at the time Of
the death Of President Harrison, April 4,
1874, just one month from the date of his
Inauguration.
Many hours elapsed before he reached
the capital, and assumed the duties Of
the office. There was much discussion at
the time as to whether; his title should
be that Of {. President" or Acting Pres
ident" No question of this character
has since arisen, the title as well as the
preroga tivee of the vice president sue
ceeding being. under the Constitution,
that Of the elected president.
SUCCESSION no PRESIDENCY.
The only instance in our history Of the
Impeachment Of the great executive officer
of the government was that of Andrew
Johnson, elected vice president in 1854,
and, upon the assassination Of Mr.. Lin
coin, succeeding to the presidency In
April, 1865 *, 3 esA p = Z
It is worthy Of mention that neither
of the first three vice presidents who be-
came presidents upon the death Of their
principal retained the, confidence or sue

which he owed hfs election. The rupture
between Tyler and the Wing leaders. and

great office. The former was defeated by
Scott In the Wing convention of 81 and

There is no constitutional provision for
filling the Office of vice president other
than by the quadrennial election already
indicated. In the event of a vacancy by
death or otherwise the office remains va
cant until the next presidential election.

BECOMES A FORCE.
While in the main the 5lIties of the
vice president involve little that Is Of po-
liticai significance. yet, as has more than
once happened, when parties are nearly
balanced in the senate he may become a
powerful factor in matters of legislation.
Simply as illustrations: 1t will be re-
membered that the historic Walker tariff
bill passed the senate by the vote Of Vice
President Dallas. The organization of the
senate after a protracted and bitter strug-
gle preceding the tragic death OF Presi-
dent Garfield was effected by the vote of
Vice President Arthur. An equally di-
vided senate devolved upon Vice President
Hobart the responsibility Of determining
the attitude of that body toward the Phil
ippine islands during the late congress.
From what has been said, it will appear
that, In the contingency last mentioned.
the Office or vice president becomes one
of great Importance.

No part OF the debates of the great
convention Of 17S7 possesses deeper In
terest or more instructive lessons than
that which relates to the powers of the
president. An eminent historian has
truly said: ''41ow to call forth one OF
the people to be their executive chief for
3 limited period of years. and how to
clothe hln with just sufficient powers,
long hafied the convention"
Having deternined at length. after
weary days OF discussion. the extent Of
the powers with which the great officer
was to be clothed. tho mode of his Sc
lection next engaged the thoughtful con-
sideraIon of the convention. At first
the consensus OF opinion was favorable
to election by the congress. the two
houses thereof participating in joint ses-
sion.
The plan was. however, bitterly ,o

corrupt practices. In the light of the
discussion which followed its adoption
it soon gave way to another plan scarce
IL less Objectionable. 1t was that the
executive should be elected by a single
