A correspondent of tine New York
World makes an excellent suggestion in
the following letter:
Is it not time for the senseless Gus
tom OF official hand shaking to be die
continued by Presidents of the United
States? When 1t was proposed to George
Washington that he should shake hands
with all who presented themselves at
his receptions he refused peremptorily.
Il would catch the itch !'he exclaimed.
That particular peril probably does
not exist now, but o much grayer one
does, and the occurrence OF Friday
SHOWS that it cannot always be ayerted.
At its best the custom is wsarisome
tax on the President. At its worst it
is serious peril.
"Shaking hands with the President, :"
in the promiscuous manner In which
1t has long beer permitted in this
country, is, to use a slang expression,
''mere poppycock.' 1t only furnishes
the prstext for vainglorious future
boasting hy those who are permitted
to participate in It,
OF itself considered, the practice is
devoid of any sensible feature and
answers no good purpose. 1t is an i'm
position upon the good nature and the
personal dignity OF the President. And
now that IL has been shown to be fraught
with danger, let it be abandoned once
and for all.

The sympathy OF the country will be
generally extended TO Vice President
Roosevelt, in the delicate and trying
situation 10 which he finds himself
NEST unfortunately placed. TIE legal
successor to the Presidency. he is now
confronted with the emergency Of q
danger to the chief executive, whose
official place no will be called upon to
fill In the event that death should
create the vacancy. And this strained
aud weary ing position he will have to
occupy until the Presidents physical
condition can be accurately ascertnined.
Vice President Roosevelt has q prece-
dent which he may safely adopt in the
case of Vice. President Arthur during
the weary days that interyened between
the striking down OF Garfield by the
assassin and the Presidents death.
During that trying interval Vice.
President Arthur comported himself
with delioacy Of speech and action
that revealed his true and manly nature
as nothing else in his life had done,
and which was later exemplified In a
most acceptable administration of the
affairs OF the nation.
II is, indeed, trying ordeal for Vice.
President Roosevelt, and the sympathy
OF the people win aid him in bearing
up under it in courageous and mantul
manner.
