THE NEW COURT HOUSE. Our county commissioners have sean fit to rejoct all the brds for the new court house and they have or- dered the architest, Mr. Myers, to prepare modified plans by substituting a second-class fire-proof for the first class fire-proof building as originally designed. Two reasons are assigned by tho cemmissioners for this course. One is the fact that the cost of the building as originally designed will excoed the limit they had put upon the same twelve months ago. the other reason is that some of the bidders did not fully comply with the requirements of the proposals. Now everybody knows that the ad- vanco in the cost of labor and mate- rials since last year is from ten to twenty per cent. A court house that could have boen built last year for $150,000 cannot now be built for much less than $180,000. We are re- OMAHA PUBLISHING 00., Prop'rs E.ROSEWATER, Editor. John H.

The people of Omaha and Douglass county want a first-class fire proof building and they will have nothing else. They voted $125,000 in bonds country.” Taue funding of the national debt under Garfield's administration saves the country 815,000,000 a year. Wirn street sprinkling and Herdic coaches in our city, Omaha's rivals may well grow green with envy. VERMONTERS are discussing the pro- priety of prohibiting prohibition. Neal Dow is yet to be heard from. Tue Irish land bill is now before the House of Lords. It is believed that Friday will witness its passage by that body. Eacu step of President Garfield toward recovery lengthens Guiteau's chances for long life and shorten his term in the penitentiary. Tue next Kentucky legislature will choose a United States senator to suc- ceed Mr. Beck. The general im- pression is that Mr. Beck will be his own successor. Dr. HaMMOND can never forgive the president’s medical advisers for not calling him in as consulting phy- sician. That is the milk in the Ham- mond cocoanut, Juy's custom and internal revenue receipts aggregated the enormous sum of nearly £32,000,000. A republican admunistration agrees with the treas- ury department. THE corn crop of our state this year will be sufficient to fatten overy head of cattle grazing on our western ranges and to leave in addition a large surplus for export. Tue Widow Van Cott is making the most of the notoriety given her as the once intended bride of Guiteau. She now demands 816 a day for her services at a camp meeting. Tux contract has been let for the Grand Central hotel. With her two metropolitan hotels Omaha will take another stride forward in her career of development and prosperity. WHEN the new street railway is in operation to Hanscom park, the ques- tion ““Are you going to the park this evening?” will be answered in the af- firmative by hundreds ef our people. e—————— Tue farmers of Nebraska are busy in their harvest fields, but they are not too busy to keep up a very hard thinking over the qualifications of candidates in the coming elections.

No reasonable man ex- pects the commissioners be able to build on last year's estimate at this year's advanced price of labor and material, This talk about the irregularity of certain bids strikes us as a mere pre- text gotten up for the benefit of parties who want to take advantage ot the successful bidder. The gen- eral impression among business men is that the needless delays by tamper- ing with well arranged plans and re- advertising for bids are inexcusable. Thero is a good deal of skulduggery and scheming going on, and indirect pressure is being brought on the com- missioners by interested parties, who want to foist a second rate building on the county, which will enable con- tractors to pocket money at the ex- pense of the taxpayers. Tt is an open secret amoug contrac- tors and builders that the original Myers plan is accompanied by such iron clad specifications that there is no possible chance for a job. This is why the irregular bidders want modi- fied plans for a court house that will afford the county little bet- ter protection than the old one. Ordinarily we are glad to earn part of the taxes assessed against Tue Bre by public advertising but we should prefer to forego the extra patronage of are-advertisement for bids if the commissioners will proceed with the building without further needless de- lay. e——— AN UNSETTLED QUESTION. The possibility of a long convales- cence in the case of the president and his consequent inability to perform the duties of his office raises the question whether, under such circum- stances of temporary disability, the vice-president would be authorized to take upon himself the functions of the chief executive. The constitu- tion provides certain duties which can only be performed by the president and cannot be dele- gated to any other officer, The constitution prescribes that the president shall nominate, and with the consent of the senate make appoint- ments, No one, therefore, ex- cepting the president can pro- pose nominations to the senate, and no one but the president can make appointments confirmed by the senate. As commander-in-chief of the army and navy the president is the only officer authorized to call out the naval or military forces for the suppression of insurrection or the repelling of invasion If any serious riots should break out in any section of the country which the goy- ernors of the states found themselves unable to quell, the president alone has authority to call out and use mili- tary force. The general of the army and tho secretary of war may use the regular army for police duty in the territories, but they have no right to send theso troops into any of the seates. Again the constitution com- mands the president to communicate to congress the state of the country and make such recommenda- tions as he may deem proper for their logislative action. Congress may pass laws, but no law can go into effect un til it has been approved by the presi- dent. That function makesthe presi- dent a part of the law-making power of the government. and in the exer- cise of that function the president’s act is not merely clerical as in the signing of a commission, but he is bound to employ all the men- tal faculties that are requisite in passing judgment upon every import- ant measure. In case of the presi- dent’s disability to consider or approve the appropriation bills passed by Con- gress, the whole machinery of our gov- ernment would soon be at a standstill, Should the illness oi the president be protracted through months of weary convalescence this question would force itself upou the attention of the government for speedy determina- tion, The constitution declares that in case of the removal of the president from office, or of his death or resigna- tion, the vice president succeeds to his place and becomes president. No case of removal or resignation has ever oceurred, but the death of three presidents has resulted in the succession of an equal number of vice-presidents to the presidency. The lancuage of the constitution that in case of the presi- dent’s “inability to discharge the powers and duties of the said office, the same shall devolve on the vice- president,” fails to cover the case. There is nothing in the whole instru- ment nor in the proceedings of con- gress by which it is possible to deter- mine whether the ‘‘disability” con. templated 18 a temporary or perma- nent one or both. The question still must obtrude itself, whether in case of a protracted, though not necessari- ly permanent disability of the presi- dent, the duties of the chief executive shall devolve upon the vice-president for the time being and be laid aside when the president is able to resume his official duties. It is a singular fact, which has but recently been brought to notice, that the constitu- tion has not sufficiently given to con- gress any power to make provision for the disability of the president to dis- charge the powers and duties of his offico, when there is a vice- president upon whom they may de- volve. It distinctly declares that con- gress shall provide by law for the case of removal, resignation, death or in- ability of both president and vice- preaident. No provision is made for the vice-president acting temporarily as president or defining the procedure by which the inability of a president is declared removed and his functions are resumed. Probably on account of the failure ot the constitution to be explicit upon this point, congress has neglected to make provision for such an emergency, and it has * never yet been decided whether it has authority to take such action or not. Justice Story, in com- menting on this clause of the constitu- tion, merely says: ‘‘No provision has yet been made for the case of the in- ability of the president or vice presi- dent to perform the duties of his office, nor has any mode of proof been prescribed to ascertain the fact of in- ability or what shall be deemed in- ability.” Now whether President Garfield shall fully recover and be able to discharge the active duties of his office before congress meots or not, it will be the imperative duty of congress to pass a law defining disability of presidents, prescribing the manner in which the existence of suoh disability shall be ascertained, and how the removal of such shall reinstate the president in full authority. Unfortunately in case General Garfield should be un- able to consider and approve such a law when passed by congress another dilemma will present itself, and that is how any law on that subject shall be passed before President Garfield is well enough to approve such a bill, IN taking possession of the New York custom house, Collector Robert- son paid a well deserved compliment to his predecessor, General Merritt, for the efficiency and economy of his administration, During the year end- ing June 30th the revenucs of the port reached the enormous total of $140,000,000. Notwithstanding the number of clerks necessarily craployed in the handling of this immense sum the cost for the collection of every $100 deposited in the treasury has only been 81.85. This is a record which challenges comparison. Tue aldermen of Boston spent nearly $30,000 last year for refresh- ments, most of it for committees lunches and wine. These expendi- tures were covered up in the aud- itor's report as much as possible, but have been dug out by those infernal reporters, Boston aldermen consider the average reporter a worse speci- men of an infernal maceine than O'Donovan Rossa's cwse of dynamite, WaeN the XLVIIth congress meets next December there will be thirty- seven republicans, thirty-eight demo- crats (ineluding David Davis of Tlli- nois) and one readjuster-democrat (General Mahone) in the senate. There were elected to the house 148 republicans, 135 democrats, 8 grecn- back men and 2 readjuster democrats, By all means let us have those Herdies. They will give our people cheap fares through strects that ave not within reach of the street rail- road, and they will also compel the street railroad to give their patrons better accommodations. — Owmana and Council Bluffs should work shoulder to shoulder for a free wagon bridge. Douglass and Poitawat- tamie counties will contribute their share toward such an important en- terprise. —_— Tue addition to the Union Pacific shops means an increase in mechanics in Omaha, and a consequent increase in the amount of money placed in cir- culation in our city. Cheap transpor- tation by street railroads to the sub- urbs of the city, which are now inac- cessible to our workingmen, will re- sult in the filling up of portions of our city at present unoccupied with houses and homes of families.

He will live at Bloomingdale and attend to private busi. ness, Prince Bismarck once said to a friend: *“In politics T act as I do out snipe shoot- ing.

Thero are Butler, Forney, Sickles, Maullett and Conkling already out. and David Davis threatens to join them. Then there are Gorham and_Tuthill, who would go if there was anything to be made by it. It would be a great pleasure to all these persons if they could be in a party so small that all of them would be visible to the public eye all the time, and it would be a great pleasure to both the old parties to know they were. there.—{New.

The shaping of the state ticket can as yet be only a matter of conjec- ture. The present state officers are under- stood to be candidates for renomination, except that Controller Wadsworth seeks a seat, in congress instead of another term as controller. There are good arguments both in favor of renuminating the old ticket and of a new distribution of the can- didates, It is, perhaps, too early to de- termine just what is best and politic. The only question of serious importance is as to what ticket will command the heartiest support and have the best chance of suc- cess, Another good democrat has gone wrong in Stark county, Ohio. Thecounty treas- urer, Timothy Sullivan (democrat), is said to be a defaulterin the sum of $13,702, Sullivan asserts his innocence as usual, and there is the customary pretense that the charge is made for political effect. But it is proved that *he books were examined by & reputable lawyer of Canton, and that he refused to pass certain of the alleged “‘assets.” Now, 1if the latter were good it would be a simple matter for the county treasurer to convert them into securities that would pass an inspection. It appears that the old trick of giving personal notes for the temporary use of drafts and certifi- cates of deposits had been attempted by the treasurer, and detected by the exam iner, who also learned that the drafts and certificates were returned to the banks and the notes taken up after the examina- tion. The treasurer has been removed by the unanimous vote of the county commis- sioners, and a substitue appointed in his stead. 4 OCCIDENTAL JOTTINGS, CALIFORNIA.
