I The succession Of the Vicc-President
30 the Chief Magistracy Of the Repub-
u. gives no occasion for the CONVEX
ton of Congress. The notion that an
extra session would or should be
called is probably the consequence OF
a recollection Of the public mind that
existed at the time Of the demise o.
President Garfield, when the question
crosse as to who would succeed in the
event of the death of President Ar
thur and nobody, not even the most
eminent of the interpreters of the Con-
stitution, could give an answer The
law since then passed by Congress
leaves no room for uncertainty on this
point. It included into the line of sue
cession to the Presidency the men,
bers Of the Cabinet in the following
order: The Secretary Of State, the Sec
retary of the Treasury, the Secretary
of War, the Attorney-General. the
Postmaster-Ge the Secretaries Of
the Interior, of the Navy Department
and of Agriculture. Under this law
the possibility of an interregnum. so
to speak, is too remote to ha consid-
cred.

THE STATE FAIR
Large Attendance and Plenty Of In
terest at Opening.

terest at Opening.
A Columbia special .says:There are
none who have fears now about the
weather for fair week. There were
grave fears, but they have been
buried, and there is general rejoicing
at the burial. The wind had something
to do with it, and State Section Direc-
tor Bauer is vain enough to claim that
he did it, though Col. Holloway, Pres
ident Evans, Col. Watts, Col. Cray on
and all those who have been earnestly
praying for fair weather are willing to
contest Mr.. Bauer's claim in the courts.
Tuesday morning broke with dull la
den clouds hanging over the city and
the sun did not show his face at the
fair; he may have been mad because
the moon was there the night before.
About noon, however, the sun put in
his appearance and his face was
Yreather in smiles. The wind that
had been blowing from the rain direc-
ton Immediately began to change its
position and went around until by
evening It was coming from the north,
which the weatherwise say is a mighty
fine indication. Everything will be all
right now so far as the weather Is con-
cerned if the wind does not get tired
of laying on one side and 60 over to
another point of compass. Some times
the wind does this and it may be that
this is one Of the times, but the gen.
tlemen named above are taking no
chances and are continuing their
prayers.
Wednesday was the first Of the big
days of the State fair, and it will be
notable one unless all the signs fail.
Already the city is full of visitors AMI
ordinarily they do not begin to pour
In until Wednesday morning, when
the special trains start. The fair au-
thorlties are more than pleased with
results thus far and hope for note
worthy State fair in point OF attend
ance.
It was very good Tuesday at the fair
and many who went out to the gounds
remained there practically all cay.
They did not have as much perhaps as
heretofore to interest them in some
portions of the buildings, but there was
far more upon the grounds and al the
race course. The street cars ran
quick schedule all day to and from the
grounds and the visitors had no trouble
in getting out to the fair.
At the secretary's office things were
easy. Assis' It Secretary LaMotte
stated that nearly 5000 entries ha1
been made. In this connection 1t ~
worthy of remark that Col. Holloway
and Mr.. LaMotte have this year done
what It has heretofore taken several
clerks to do; they have filed out all
the entry books and the tags and ols-
tributed them with no other help than
that given for few days by Mr.. La
Notes daughter. A regular system
was adopted and the result OF 1t was
that there has been less trouble In tne
secretary's office than in a long time.
Already a number Of prominent peo-
ple have been at the fair. Among
these have been Eoted Gen. wade
Hampton, the governor of tho stata'
CONGRESSMAN Latimer and number
of other officials. Tuesday afternoon
Gen. Carwile and Gen. James were
on the race course. So was Judge watts
who is now holding court here. + e
eyhibits are remarkably full and in
teresting in every department.

Auditor Rittman.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: | wish to
add few words of my own to the com
plimcntary notices of the Hon. Au-
ditor fer the War Department Rittman,
printed in n recent number of The Ma
tional Tribune. AS an attorney long prac-
ticing in the governmental departments
and bureaus, | voice the general opinion
Of my professional brethren in saying that
the new Auditor has won the respect and
admiration of all. The claims they offer
in behalf of Union veterans are no longer
refused filing and insultingly sent back
to them, but receive courteous acknowl-
edgment, prompt examination, and just
settlement. Appeals to the Honorable
Comptroller are no, longer necessary.
AS u soldier / congratulate my COM
rades on the new situation and rejoice
with them because of the liberal and hui
name practice of our old friends, ex-Au-
ditors Farrow and Brown is again re-
stored, placing their rights in the hands
of a gentleman who, like that other faith
full officer, Frank Campbell, will see to it
that every old veterans widow and Or
phan charges get every long withheld dol
lar due them.
Webster Davis got worn out in his de-
termined battle for soldiers rights. Mr..
Campbell seems made of tougher material,
and every week, by his clear, logical, I'M
answerable decisions, obtains stronger
hold on the affections of the aged boys
who wore the blue.
Now that the responsible Office Of Au-
ditor for the War Department is con-
trolled by chief just alike to Govern
ment and claimant, new era is inaug-
urated.-A. w. SAWYER, NJ. D., CORN,

The American Idea.

"The one great topic of international
discussion is the triumph of the Amer
lean idea" says the September New Eng
land Magazine But what is the Amer
lean idea? For, while it is proving itself
the great moving force of the world to-
day, debated upon in every civilized coun-
try from pole to pole, no one as yet seems
to have given any concise, concrete defni-
ton of the term. The most apt illustra-
ton to come under my observation was in
England. Two manufacturers, q British
and an American, stood waiting for bus
and q trolley car, respectively. The Brit
iSher. who owned one of the largest me-
chanical plants in England, was explain
ing to his Observation-Disclosures from
America that he could not understand how
in the States they could pay workmen
twice the wages he did, and yet under
sell him in every market Of the world,
including that of his native English city.
'''There is the whole story illustrated
quickly replied the American, pointing
across the street to workman who vas
perched on step-ladder washing the win
dows of dwelling, while another held
the ladder steady so that the actual work
man would not fall That is the English
way, two men to a ladder, said the Amer
lean; our workman would use ladder
that would steady itself, and if there were
no such article on the market he would
invent it-that is the American idea
"Labor-saving devices, individualism,
and an ambition on the part of both mas
ter and man to accomplish the most work
in the least possible time; these are the
American ideas that are disturbing the
slow going leisurely, oldworld workmen
and causing them to put on q squirt, II
only to show that there is still young
blood left in the old countries.

Wholesome Advice
For People Whose Stomachs Are Weak
and Digestion Poor.

Dr. Harlandson, whose opinion in dis
eases is worthy of attention, says when
a man or woman comes TO me complaining
of indigestion, loss of appetite. sour stOm-
acb, belching, sour, watery rising, head
ache, sleepleSsness, lack of ambition and
a general run down nervous condition |
advise them to take after each meal one
or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, al
lowing the tablets to dissolve in the
mouth, and thus mingle with the food
eaten. The result is that the food is
speedily digested before it has time to
sour and ferment. These tablets will di-
gest the food anyway. whether the stom-
ach wants to or not, because they con-
tain harmless digestive principles, vegeta-
which supply just what the weak stomach
lacks.
/ have advised the tablets with great
success, both in curing indigestion and to
build up the tissues, increasing flesh in
thin, nervous patients, whose real trouble
was dyspepsia, and as soon as the stom-
ach was put to rights they did not know
what sickness was.
A 50-cent package of Stuart's Dyspep.
sin Tablets can be bought at any drug
store, and as they are not a secret patent
medicine, they can be used as often as
desired, with full assurance that they
contain nothing harmful in the slightest
| degree; on the contrary, anyone whose
stomach is at all deranged will find great
benefit from the use of Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets. They will cure any form OF
| stomach weakness or disease except can

Mining Academia.

Much has been done by science to
diminish the risk of explosion in coal
mines: but one danger persists against
which it seems impossible to guard-the
recklessness of the miner. Inquiry into
the recent disaster in South Wales, where
over 80 lives were lost, has brought to
light some almost incredible revelations.
The Engineer says: There is the story
of a Cwmaman miner who leaped into an
underground tram and in leaping trod
upon box OF matches which some one
else had carried down below. There is
the verified account of a filled pipe be
ing discovered under a piece Of fall in
one heading in another pit in. the Aber-
dare Valley. There is the acknowledge
ment on the part Of the cOlliery man
ayers in the Metrthyr and Aberdare Val
leys that the workman is permitted. even
under the pit bylaws. to take loose to-
bacco with him to his working place, be
cause he wants to chew it, Since the
beginning of the year a host of men have
been hailed before the magistrates in the
cOlliery valleys for carrying matches or
pipes with them to their working stalls
And still accidents will happen!

PERSONAL.

This is what the Cleveland Leader had
to say about the handsome and accom-
plished Assistant Adjutant-General Of
Ohio:
"Ohioans will keep sharp lookout dur
ing Grand Army parade for the Buckeye
Post No. IL, Of Akron, will head their
division, led by Col. II. A. Kasson, As
sistant Adjutant- General, mounted on a
fierce prancing charger, imported especial
~ for the occasion from the blue grass re-
gions of Kentucky. The Colonel will be
recognized on sight. He has front enough
for q town hall, but he's business all the
same from the ground up"
Gen. Lew Wallace, who is at the head
of the Antitrust League of Indiana, is
leading in II movement against the steel
trust under the Indiana laws.
Col Elisha G. Hubbard. who as Colonel
of the 9th Wis, gave Gen. Macarthur
his start in the army by appointing him
Adjutant, went on from New York, where
he is in business as broker, to Milwau-
kee, to meet and greet his old subordl-
nate. He is known in Milwaukee as the
hero of the bank riots"
He was Captain of the Milwaukee
ZOuaves in the Summer of 1861, when the
bank riots broke out. The Iouayes were
just ready to go to the front. 1t was on
the 9th of June, 1861. Two companies

armories by the rioters; the engines of
the local fire companies had been dumped
into the river at the foot of Michigan
street; the furniture in the banks in the
locality Of Michigan and East Water
streets had been broken, piled in the
counting houses and fired. At this juno
ture, with the mob of thousands in full
control, Col. Hubbard and his Iouaves
were called on. He replied that he
would not venture to quell the outbreak
unless given power to deal with the rioters
in the manner that the circumstances de
manded. He would not go in under or
ders not to shoot and be driven back to
his armOry. Liberty of action was grant
ed by Mayor Brown. Gov. LudingtOn
subsequently elected GOvernOrl, and one
other member of the Council. and with
fixed bayonets the IouaveS charged,
cleared the streets, held the rioters ut bay
until two regiments arrived from cities
in the State at nightfall. Two men were
killed and several wOUndcd, but it was
not found necessary to shoot. The stand
for the preservation of law in the face
of what was popularity considered an in
justice done the voters by the banks
proved a severe handicap to Col. lib
bard both in military and civil life. Soon
after this event he entered the Army of

Mississippi Losses a. Franklin.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In The
National Tribune of Aug. 1 was an edi-
torial about Mississippi statistics in which
was interested, as it brought to my mind
the losses of the 3Ith Miss. at the battle
of Franklin, Tenn, Nov. 30, 1864. On
Dec II, the day after the glorious vic
tory over Hood at Nashville as our col
umn passed through the works on the
pike, | jumped out on the east side and
went out a few rods to take a view of
the ground the rebels charged over. The
sight that met my eyes was astounding.
Trenches where the rebel dead were buried
were thick around me. The dead men
were mostly buried by companions, and
in my hurried glance | noticed the losses
would run from 10 to % to a company, as
marked on the headboards. One trench

looked around to the right and left and
saw several other trenches equally as long
as the one l stood by, showing that other
regiments must have suffered as great II
not greater losses. This Mississippi regi-
ment belonged to Stewards Corps, and
charged our works on the east side of the
pike. 1t belonged to Canty's Brigade,
Walthall's Division.
l wish further to say that my regiment
was the Both ILL.,, First Brigade, Second
Division, Fourth Corps. The brigade was
there and met the ''Johnnies" as they

The panic became stampede, and the
entire battalion of defenders broke for
the shelter OF the tall grass in the rear,
the scouts firing at them as long as there
was a man in sight and doubling up
several Just as they were about TO disap-
pear. Then they turned their attention to
saving the bridge, which was soon done,
and all sat down in the shade of bamboo
shack near the bank to enjoy a we'll
earned rest. After sitting thus for time
smoking their Missouri meerschaums, the
Lieutenant looked about him inGuiringly
and asked:
What has become of Lucas?'
"He's right back here, sir, asleep
"Asleep?' said the leader. "WhereF'
Fright here, sir answered the man,
leading the way back TO the bridge.
There they found Jolly lying on the
grass to one side of the road, on his back,
his hat covering his face to protect it
from the sun, his gun and waist belt lying
at his side. AS the officer approached
the soldier with him kicked the redundant
scout upon the foot, saying:
Hey, Jolly, wake up. The Lieutenant
wants to see you.
There was no move, and the chief
leaned over and removed the hat from his
face. 1t took but a glance to see that he
was dead. A hasty examination revealed
a bullet hold through the breast. He had
been shot while making that last des-
perate rush for the bridge, and had lived
long enough to ease himself by taking off
his belt and placing his hat over his face,
and thus he had died while his comrade
believed him to be merely resting.
As the Lieutenant opened the front of
his blue flannel shirt to look for the wound

why water is not always used in ex-
tinguishing fire in a ships hold is clear
SAYS Fire and Water. While it can be
used to great advantage in the case of
fires in the open air, if it should be en-
ployed to put out a big fire in the hold
of a vessel the sudden burst of steam so
formed would be the parent of disastrous
results. NJ. Diobs, French maritime
engineer, has recently suggested new
method of discovering and extinguishing
fire on shipboard, especially that arising
from spontaneous combustion in the cargo
70 give warning of fire, or of rise of
temperature that may lead to it, he would
distribute through the cargo verticle met
allie tubes. Into these tubes, from time
to time, thermometers could be lowered
to ascertain the temperature. His next
step would be to place in the midst of the
cargo n large cask containing lime and
communicating by a small tube with the
bridge. In case of fire in the hull sui
phuric acid is poured into the tube and
violent production of carbonic acid gas
takes place, which smothers all combus-
