could Not Decide Upon the Manner In
Which the Presidents Inability to
Perform His Duties Should
Be Declared.

William Window, federal represen-
one of the early advocates of recipro-
city and the gold standard, and candi-
date for the Republican presidential
nomination in the three national con-
ventions of the party held in the
twelve years beginning with 1880, was
also secretary of the treasury in two
cabinets Garfield's and Benjamin Har-
risons.
About year before Mr.. Window re-
turned to Washington as member of
President Harrison's official family,
he spoke at length to me of his recol-
lections of the period when his first
presidential chief lay desperately Ill,
and his cabinet was in daily doubt
whether the president would survive
the wound, or die.
Many were the incidents connected
with Garfield's illness that impressed
but the one that left with me the
most vivid impressions occurred the
latter part of July. or it may have been
about the first week in August.
You may remember that all
through the presidents illness the
members of his cabinet remained con-
stantly in Washington. We had many
informal discussions as to what our
duty was under the circumstances,
and upon one occasion Mr.. Blaine, the
secretary of state, said to two or three
of US that he was anxious to discuss
with us personally and unofficially
what seemed to him to be a very i'm
portant contingency that might arise
He then went on to say that he had
been reading the clause in the Con-
stitution which defined the Office and
responsibilities of the president, and
that he had been trying to discover
some precedent, or at least a hint, in
the discussions that took place in the
convention that framed the Constitu-
ton which might serve as a guide to
the cabinet should 1t have to face the
contingency that he had in mind.
Il asked DIR. Blaine if he had
reference to the clause in the Constr.
tuition which declares that in case of
the death or disability of the president
to perform the business of his Office,
the vice-president shall assume office.
remember perfectly Mr.. Blaines re-
ply, which followed a grave nod of his
head
We have had two cases where this
clause Of the Constitution has applied,
he said Each of them, however, was
a case involving the death of presi-
dent. 1t was the unquestioned right
of the vice-president to succeed, al
though I have learned that at the time
OF John Tyler's accession there were
many who thought he should sign him

How Abram S. Hewitt Demonstrated
&c steel Process inventor That He
Had Divided His Wealth
With the Nations.

Sometimes the statement is made
when a man of great wealth dies, that,
while he amassed millions for him
self he enriched the world to much
greater extent than he did himself.
And whenever l see this statement
made l always call to mind the anec-
dote that the late Abram S. Hewitt
told me of Sir Henry Bessemer.
Abram S. Hewitt is numbered
among New Yorks best and most
famous mayors. He was chairman OF
the Democratic national committee
that managed the Tilden presidential
campaign; his efforts as trustee and
secretary gave Cooper Union the
worldwide fame it enjoys today as an
educational institution, and for near
ly half century Mr.. Hewitt was 8
power in the iron and steel trade. AS
manufacturer he gained an en-
cyclopedic knowledge of commercial,
industrial and financial statistics not
only of his own time, but of earlier
times as we'll; and as an authority in

GarfieId's Cabinet Puzzled

self "Vice-president, acting as pres
ident." There has never been a case
when the question of the inability of
a president to perform his duties has
been raised. 1t may be easy enough
to determine whether a president is
completely incapable OF performing
the duties of his Office or not That
can be established by medical author
ity. But who is to make the announce
ment? Who is to call upon the vice
president?
Then Mr. Blaine went on to say
that in his opinion-and he presumed
in that of all of us-President Garfield
was totally incapacitated, and would
remain in that condition for some time,
even though ultimately he should get
well. Suppose then some great emer-
gency, like the imperative need of is
suing pardon, or warlike complications
should arise-an emergency which
called for the assembling of congress.
Would it be perfectly within the mean
ing of the Constitution If the vice
president were called upon to act as
president? And Mr. Blaine ended by
insisting that the cabinet should be
prepared for an emergency of that
kind.
THE result of this unofficial taking
of counsel was that the suggestion was
made that there should be informal
and purely personal consultation with
the attorney general, Wayne Mac
Veagh. Mr.. Blaine did breach the
subject to the attorney general, and,

though / did not hear the conversation
that took place between them, was
authoritatively informed that the at
torney general was of the opinion that
the e-president, in case the disabil-
ity of the president was unquestioned,
could rightfully assume the duties Of
president: the Constitution was unmis-
taxable en- this point. But the attor-
ney general asked: If the vice
president gets the presidency in that
way, how in the world is he to be TAX
en- out of it in case the president re-
covers and is once more able to per-
form the duties of the Office to which
he was elected?
THAT question was a puzZler," con-
tinued Senator Window, land there
were so many other complications that
eventually we informally decided to
take no action unless a most impera-
tive emergency arose. l have always
been thankful that an emergency OF
the sort did not arise. Yet l think
that congress ought to indicate by
statute the manner in which the in
ability of a president to perform the
duties of his Office shall be declared,
and the manner in which his ability
to resume the office may be legally
set forth"
