From the London Tablet. The resalt of the census of Inner London, taken on the night of Sunday, March 2) last, shows that the population at thai date was 4,411,271, or some 14,00) less than had been estimated. An examination of the returns shows that the population, north and south of the Thames, was thus divid- ed: North of the ri 475, and south of the river, 1,612,796. This census being under the provisions of the equalization of rates act, 184, was ccrfined to the “ad- ministrative county of London.” “Greaier London,” however, Includes all the dis- tricts under the jurisdiction of the metro- pelitan police. This outer ring includes the Lidilesex and parts of the coun- of Kent, Surrey, Essex and Herts, pfactically all the suburbs of London. The lation of the metropolis in this larger is estimated thus: Inner London, 4,- 271, and outer London, 1,756,421, @ grand total of 6,167,692. Probably the next few years will see a great change in the relative population of inner and outer Lon- don. The Cevelopment of the suburban railway systems end the growing use of the cycle help the movement, which makes the heart of London more and more a bus- iness center during the day and a solitude at night. +e-. Servant Girls in Australia. From Pearson's Weekly. Some revolutionary suggestions in regard te domestic servants are being discussed in Australia. It is proposed to call them “household employes.” They will eat in the dining room, either with the family or by themselves. They will be at the beck and call of the mistress. There will be two shifts of employes, one to work from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the other from 2 p.m. to $ or 9 p.m., so that tiey may have the afternoons and evenings off every alternate week. It is believed that the expenses of the household would not be Increased by adopting this step, as domestic service un- cer this new condition of affairs would be rendered so attractive that servants weuld be obtainable at half the present wages, and sweating in factories would be largely diminished by reducing the nuraber of ap- Plicants. TAN. $8,000 PLACE "The Salary Attached. to the Position Ves of Vice President. ed MEN WHO HAVE HELD SECOND PLACE As a Rule, the Presidential Running i Mate is Snubbed. INTERESTING GOSSIP SS (Copyrighted, 1896, by Frank G. Carpenter.) HO IS ‘'O BE THE n candidate President? Tom Reed will be a big possibility if Me- Kinley heads the ticket. But Reed, I am told, turns up hi little, fat nos and sneers whenever the place is mentioned in connection with him And still, in| many respects, the vice presidency is far bet- ter than the speakership. It pays $8,000 ennually, and it is a four years’ job. When Jefferson was elected to it he said it was the only office of which he could not tell wheth- er he wanted it or not. Its holder has to work less than two years duriag the whole time, and as far as labor is concerned, he gets $42,000 for this amount of work. It has also a big percentage ir favor of the presidency and the $0,000 job in the White House. There have been twenty three Presidents, and of these more than 16 per cent have gotten there through the vice presidency. Tyler, Fillmore, Johnson and Arthur had almost full terms in the White House, through the deaths of the heads of the ticket. President Harrison died during the same year that he was inaugurated, and gave Tyler an almost four years’ term. Lincoln had hardly served a month of his second term before he gave place to John- son, Garfield was inaugurated in the spring, and before summer was at its full he was shot by Guiteau, and a few months later gave place to Arthur, while Zach Taylor, inaugurated in 1819, in 1850 was supplanted by Millard Fillmore. Great en Don't Want It. s, the vice presidency is a good job. It is a fat job, and still many of our great men do not seem to realize it. A number of the most famous men of our history have refused it. Thomas A. Hendricks felt humillated when he was. placed on the ticket with Cleveland. He inteuded to de- cline, and it took some persuasion to make him accept it. He said to his friends that he did not object to being second on the ticket with Tilden, who was the acknowl- edged le y, but he consider- ed Cleveland a much r light than hirm- y. self. Hannibal Hamlin did not want the vice presidency, and for some time after the convention of iSG0 he debated whether should decline it or not. He had th > delegaies that he would not b ate, and they had promised to re hes. Still, he was nom inated. on the second ballot. When th news was brought to him he was ve indignant, and it took Ben W Foote essenden and others of his friends to per: uade him to run, They visited him in a jody. He held out against them until they told him that his refusal to be a candidat be fatal to the ticket. Said Ben Hamlin, if you don't yeu are afraid, and your fe as indicative of our defeat “What's that?” said Hamlin. mean that?” “That's just what I do mean Ben Wade. What? You mean they say aid to run on the republi Yes, Senator Hamlin, th mean.” Well, then,” replied Hamlin, run, and be damned to them.” AS a result of the interview Hamlin did run, and he proved a strong addition to the run they'll think r will be taken “You don't replicd that I am tucket ?” s what 1 a “I shall ticket. LincoIn were on the most friendly terms, and it was through Hamlin largely that Lincoln chose 5: as his Becretary of He Hamfin well, advised with him somewhat about state matttrs and gave him what he want- ed in the way of appointments. Cleveland and Hix Vice Presidents. Many Vice Presidents, however, have not been graciously treated by the Presidents. President Cleveland seems to think that a Vice President has no more claims than any other citizen. He snubbed Hendrick: again and again, and Hendricks had trouble in getting even the smallest offices for friends. One place which he wanted was the post office at Indianapolis. He hud to ceol his heels in the ante-rooms of the White House to get it, and Hendricks said that Cleveland made him “walt at the outer gate as a suppliant before he granted him the position.” He said that there had not been a time within twenty-five years that he could not have gotten this had any cther democrat been Pr: asking, and that he was put off day after day, and that the office was finally given to him apparently as a matter of charity. The snubs which Hendricks veceived from Cleveland and his cabinet sank deep into his soul and he was so ignored by them tnat at one time he wanted to resign. Thi was at the end of the first_se: Senate after he came into office, a only the requests of his friends that kept him from doing so. And still it was Hen- dricks that carried Indiana in 1884 and not Cleveland, ard the loss of the state would have defeated the ticket. Adlai E. Stevenson is as to most points at war with President Cleveland. He has lit- tle influence with the administration and his only patronage consists of the appoint- ment: of a secretary, a messenger, a tele- graph operator and a telegrapher’s page. These are all connected with the Senate and Cleveland would not think of consult- irg Stevenson about an important appoint- ment. How Vice Presidents Are Snubbed. This snubbing of Vice Presidents by the Presidents has been common from almost the beginning of the government. During most of our administrations the President and Vice President have been at logger- heads. Thomas Jefferson, as Vice Presi- dent under Adams, was the leader of the opposition. He expected to have something to do with the administration when he was first elected, but President Adams snubbed him at the start, and he gave it up. Adams was disgusted when Jefferson was elected as j his successor. He would not wait in Wash- ington to see the inauguration, but drove off in his carriage the night before in order to be out of the way. Aaron Burr was one of the Vice Presidents under Jefferson. ‘Lhe two were fighting most of the time, and it was through Jefferson that Burr was finally prosecuted for treason. It is hardly possible that President John Quincy Ad- ams and his Vice President, John C. Cal- houn, had anything in common, and Presi- dent Jackson, you know, threatened to hang Calhoun on account of the nullification matters which were gotten up in South Carolina during Jackson's presidency. When Calhoun was again Vice President, Jackson got along very well with his sec- cnd Vice President, Van Buren, be- cause Jackson was king and Van Buren merely his factotum. ‘Van__ Buren Vice President was Richard M. John. son of Kentucky, the first Vice President chosen west of the Alleghenies. He was the man who Killed Tecumseh, the great Indian chief, but his name is now almost forgotten. John Tyler was a cipher as long as Harrison lived. Millard Fillmore had little influence while Zach Taylor was alive, and Andrew Johnson had no in- fluence to speak of until the death of Abra- ham Lincoln. So far as I can learn, we have never had a Vice President who has ruled the President or directed the admin- istration. It is said that John Adams tried to do this when he was Vice President un. der Washington, but Washington had a mind of his own. John Adams is sald to have been quite jealous of Washington’s prominence, and in the memoirs of Ogle Tayloe, published for private circulation some years ago, you will find a story telll: how ‘Adams rebuked a man who had us the words George Washington and John Adams. Vice President Adams said: “My man, you should not say George Washington and John Adams, *but John Adams and George Washington, for John Adams made George Washington. . Able Vice Presidents. __ Some of the ablest of our statesmen have held the vice presidential office, but their reputations have beeh made outside of it. Look at the list. Thé names are great enough. Take John C. Breckinridge, Vicé President with Buchanan; George M. 2a las, who reigned with Polk, and William King, Vice President ‘with Pierce—all of these men will go down in history througli other acts than thosd] done during their vice presidenctes. Then!'there were Elbridge Gerry, a signer of the Declaration of In- dependence, and the author of the system of changing legislative districts for con- gressional purposes, cated, after his name, gerrymandering; George Clinton of New York, Schuyler Colfax, who was mixed up in the Credit MobifWer; Henry: Wilson and others, once famous, but now forgot- ten. There have been, altogether, twenty- three Vice Presidents elected by’ the peo- ple. Of these five have died in Office, three have risen to the presidency by election, four have gotten to the White House by the death of the President and none have through their positions made reputations which will outlast a century. Arthur as Vice President and‘ Presi- dent. Speaking of Vice Presidents who have come Presidents by the death of their chiefs, the best of the four may be: said to be Chester A. Arthur, He was to a large extent a politician pure and simple until he became Pi t. He then de- veloped into a statesman, and did his best to give an honest adm mn. During the fight between Garfield and Conkling he remonstiated with Garfield, and asked that objectionable nomination. of Robertson collector of the port of New York be withdrawn. After he became President he sed to oblige his-political friends when asked for much on political grounds, and at ene time, in reply to such a re- ‘ermined when I entered this office that President Arthur should be one man and Che: A. Arthur another, and I am sorry to say that President Arthur has had to do many things which ©. A. Arthur didn’t like, and leave many things undone which C. A. Arthur would have been to do had President Arthur s clear to do the F is n Bubble. I have heard it said that Conkling did not want Arthur to accept the vice presidency and advised him to decline it. Arthur re- plied that it was a great honor and he thought he would accept it. He did ae- cept ft and by Guiteau's bullet became President. Judge Tyner, who was Post- master General under Grant, told me that Arthur was much dissatisiied with the office at first. He said he had never been so unhappy in his life as during his first three months in the White House, and that he would not accept the nomination again if it were offered him on a silver platter Before the end of his term, however, he was scheming for it, though he realized the hardships of bis position and the van- ity of it all, It was about this time that a New York friend called upon him. This end was a business man, and Arthur in talking to him was inclined to doubt his statement that he a political position. I suppose you would e to be a member of Congr President Arthur with a smile. said the man, “I would not.” How about the cabinet?" “I would not have it.’ President Arthur laughed and looked in- credulous as he went on: “But the pre: dency?

I was exhausted and went to bed like a crushed rag. There is nothing in the presidency and you have summed up the whole in your remark, that “Fame is a bubble, and broken,’is but suds, How yler Lectured W ster. Vice President Arthur, when he became President, retained Garfield's cabinet for ome time. He soon adopted new political advisers, however, and this has been the case in nearly every such instance. John Tyler had a great trouble with Harri cabinet. I knew President Tyler's quite well. He was private secretary the White House at the time was President, and was clo: cils of the administration. Daniel Webster tried to dictate to bis father as to what he should do. Tyler was the first Vice President who became Pre dent by the death of his chief, and it was a question as to how ould be treated. Some of the statesmen thought he should sign his papers as “acting President,” and that he should not have the honors and dignities of a full-fledged President. “At the first cabinet meeting after Harrison's Jeath,” said Pre: son to me, all of Hari ame together, d President ‘Tyler told them that he in- tended to continue them in office for a time At this Daniel Webster, who was etury of State, said: “In that cas e that the rules of M s cabinet will continue in for: said President on bout that. What were the rule “The rules were, dd Webster, all measures should be brought before the cabinet, and that each member of the cab- inet should have one vote, the majority rul- ing in all cases.” President Tyler looked at Webster rather queerly for a moment. The proposition seemed to him a decidedly presumptuous one. Finally he said: “No, Mr. Webster, I cannot agree to any such conditions. Iam the President, and I am responsible for the acts of this ad- ministration. I shall bring such matters as seem proper to me before the cabinet, and'I shall be always glad of your help in the way of advice and suggestion, but as to the final decision, that must rest with me. If any one of the cabinet does not wish to agree to these conditions, he is at Uberty to leave. I shall be sorry to lose him, but I cannot help it.” Thig was enough to settle Webster. He Bave ‘up the hope of running the adminis- tration, but continued in the cabinet for some time as Secretary of State, remaining there after the other members had re- signed. at his father in the coun- He told me that How Some Men Lost the Presidency. Webster was anxious to be President of the United States. He got’the presidential itch early, and it stuck to him up to the day of his death. He way nominated by Massachusetts as a candidate in 1836, but got only the electoral vote of that state, Van Buren being elected President. His only real chance of getting to the White House Was through the vice presidency, but this he indignantly refused. When the whigs Were discussing the nomination of Zach. Taylor in 1848 Webster, was asked if he would take the place of Vice President. He said he did not think much of soldiers as Presidents and refused to accept it, The result was that it.went to Fillmore, who, at Taylor's death gat the place for which Webster had longed in vain. Ben Wade came within two or three chances of becoming President or Vice President. He was talked of as a candi- Gate for the presidency in 1860, and 1 have heard it said that he lost caste largely by a report which was circulated about there being insanity in his family. This report was, I am told, untrue, Wade wogld have succeeded Andrew Johnson as resident had Johnson been impeached. At least this is said to have been the program of the impeachment managers. He would have made a striking President and would have ruled the country with an iron hand. I met him just before his death at Jefferson, Ohio, and had an interview with him, His heir at that time was as white as snow, but his mental vigor was unimpaired. He handled things without gloves and had de- cided views on all subjects. It was about this time that he was asked as to what he thought of Henry Ward Beecher, who was the great preacher of the day. He raised his hand as hg replied and brought it' down on his knee with a slap, saying: “Beecher, Beecher, hahg Beecher! I don’t like Beecher! Beecher has knocked hell out -of religion, and religion without hell is no better than pork without salt.” FRANK G. CARPENTER. Ee ae NEW PUBLICATIONS. RUSSIAN POLITICS. With Five Maps, 2 Co.
