AN AMERICAN CAREER. great office was that the winner of the second highest number of electoral votes should be Vice President. This plan was followed until the people divided dent should be a potential President. In carry- ing out this intent the first provision for the into political parties, when it became evident that | working under it might change the political character of an administration, since the second choice of the people would naturally be of a minority party differ- ing from the majority. The twelith amendment, zdopted in 1804, therefore changed the plan to con- form to the existence of parties, and provided that President and Vice President should be voted for on the same ticket, practically, by arranging that the per- son receiving the highest number of electoral votes for Vice President should fill that office. But the original intent of the constitution has been faithfully followed by the great parties, and the nominee for Vice President has been selected with a view to his fitness for the Presidency itseli. Under the first plan, Adams, Jefferson and Burr | achieved the Vice Presidency. Under the second, George Clinton, Elbridge Gerry, Daniel D. Tomp- kins, Joh4 C. Calhoun, Martin Van Buren, Richard M. Johnson, John Tyler, George M. Dallas, Millard Fillmore, William R. King, John C. Breckinridge, Hannibal Hamlin, Andrew Johnson, Schuyler Col- fax, Henry Wilson, William A. Wheeler, Chester A. Arthur, Thomas A. Hendricks, Levi P. Morton, Adlai E. Stevenson, Garrett A. Hobart and Theo- dore Roosevelt were elected. Of these twenty-one Vice Presidents, six have become President—Van Buren by election as Jackson’s successor, and Tyler, Fillmore, Johnson, Arthur and Roosevelt by the death of the Presideat. In nominating Mr. Roosevelt for the Vice Presi- dency the National Convention wisely treated the action as the selection of a possible President, and sad and tragic events have vindicated its wisdom. When Theodore Roosevelt graduated at college, a professor, who had a high conception of his qualities exhibited as a student, but who withal was some- what cynical about American institutions, said that the capacity of the people for self-government and the quality of permanence in our institutions would be measured and judged by the height to which they would permit Theodore Roosevelt to rise. That was uttered many years ago, before the young student had a man’s beard, but it now comes forward 2s testimony of the first importance to the vitality of American liberty and its immortal element. Since then the career of the young man, who was regarded as so typically what an American of the first order ought to be, has been so thoroughly American that hiis elevation to the first office has a reassuring effect upon his countrymen and upon that intelligence abroad which is in sympathy with our institutions. The virile and rugged element in his character, that has sometimes unfavorably impressed men, has in fact always been subordinated to law, order and proper public policy. Expressed by him with great frankness in moments of confidence with the people, in his official relations, this abounding sense of life and force has become the energetic impulse of of- ficial conduct always in the right direction and for the general good. He peculiarly illustrates executive ability. His leg- islative experience is confined to service in the New York Assembly. As Civil Service Commissioner, member of the Police Board of New York City, where he and General Fred Grant served together, and as Governor of New York and Assistant Secre- tary of the Navy, his duties were purely executive and administrative, and his discharge of them was without fault or flaw. He has been a copious writer. Net being a man of inherited fortune, he has acquired what he has by Jegitimate business operations and by his pen. All that he has written has for-its theme the encourage- ment of truth, manhood and courage, and the incul- cation of faith in American institutions. He has never hesitated in advocating the right when it was unpopular. Indeed, he has never made the art of popularity by suppressing convictions a study. He doesn’t know how. Show him a great truth, repressed by misconception and unpopularity, and no paladin ever exceeded the hero spirit in which he will battle for it. The people weep, but not in despair of their insti- tutions. They are all American, the growth of our genius, and the President who takes the great oath over the slain body of his predecessor will not ‘suffer their least abatement or decline HE constitution intended that the Vice Presi- | THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. PON the concurrent lines of its so-called policy the Hearst newspaper school continues to receive the lash of the press all over the country. An occasional spasmodic attempt is made to attribute this to business rivalry. The country press all over the land feels no rivalry with the three Hearst papers. It pro- ceeds as if they were not in existence, and treats them only as it does any other conspic- uous evil, dangerous to the general welfare. s The Marysville Appeal says: “The Examiner is largely responsible for the prolonga- tion of the strike by reason of the unscrupulous support it has given the strikers, par- ticularly because of its conscienceless appeals to their prejudices and passions against their employers. Deeds speak louder than words, and surely the advertisers of San Francisco must see that the Examiner instead of being their allyis in reality their malicious enemy.” Alameda Argus: “The Examiner set the strike going all right, and kept it up for a time, but now it can’t stop it with any safety for itself or its dupes. That is different.” Reedley Exponent: “The people are now wondering if the Examiner was honest with its readers when it was cartooning the President and pandering to the worst element ot society, or is it now, while lamenting over the heinousness of the crime of the cowardly assassin.” o New Era, Benicia: “Hearst was bright enough to see profit to be gained by catering to depraved demand. He has made money by doi:g so, but he has produced a monster in journalism which before it dies of its own rot is likely to do untold harm.” New York Press: “Under the Chicago anarchist decision the District Attorney of Erie County could probably indict if not convict William R. Hearst for conspiring to as- sault William McKinley. It was thought a joke to watch the antics of the demented yel- low editor who raved that the President of the United States was delivering to ‘the financial oligarchy’ the machinery of this Government. It was a joke to hear his shrieks | that ‘the trusts control the present commander in chief of the army and navy of the Urited | States.” Tt was a joke to hear him chatter that when the starving populace was crying at | the door of the White House for bread ‘a fat white handwill toss its answer out of the win- dow—a trust can do no wrong! It was a joke to hear him rant that the aim of the President of the United States was to make of the poor men ‘slaves in a pen.’ It was a joke to hear him scream that assassinations—the murder of Lincoln—‘hastened the American era of good feeling and possibly prevented the ‘renewal of fighting among brothers” The American people did not approve such sentiments and outcries. So they took it as a joke to listen to the shrieks of the insane man and laughed at them and him. They are not laughing now, nor seeking any more of those yellow jokes. . They are numb and sick and white with horror and shame. The American spirit has only to shut the door of every American home in the face of such journalism, in the school and ! dead, its excesses and crimes ended and the American people will march on to the aims and ideals of the American spirit.” Times, Minreapolis: “Among the rights of Americans is that of a free press. | It should be, and is likely to remain, an inalienable.right as a general possession. When, | however, a newspaper persistently, consistently and maliciously misrepresents, holds up | to scorn, viciously and untruthfully attacks, the person and character of the nation’s | chief magistrate—when these printed attacks are supplemented by pictures calculated to cast contempt upon the highest office on earth, then freedom has given place to license and the offending newspaper should be punished in such measure and manner as would insure a change of course and a due regard for decency. “Slander is not of the essence of the Declaration of Independence, nor is libel licensed in the constitution. Why should any newspaper enjoy immunity for obscene ‘and cruel attacks upon the, man whom millions have chosen as their chief, for a fixed | term, when, were the same man in private life, a tith= of the abuse would subject the pub- | lisher of the paper to imprisonment and his pocket to heavy drafts? “Have we done away with pillory and stocks of wood to replace them with those of ink and paper? : “There are certain newspapers in this country that Mr. McKinley’s assailant read. Who can measure the force or extent of the influence published upon his vulpine mind?” ! Chicago Journal: “Is there any remedy for this yellow peril? Must it continue as long as men incited by a spirit of mischief choose to publish newspapers that pander to | the lower instincts of humanity? This has beén Mr. Hearst’s idea of a newspaper, znd he has made his papers vehicles for the dissemination of all kinds of reeking tales that smell of the muck heap. Just as long as people patronize such papers they will be pub- lished. The remedy for the yellow peril lies with the community.” New York Post: “Free discussion does not mean freedom to incite violence. We allow religious liberty. but noman can plead his religion as an excuse for committing bigamy or murder. In the same way the advocate of violence in any form, whatever his political tenets, is amenable to punishment. If he urges defiance of law in a strike he shares the moral and legal responsibility for the deaths which will follow. If he suggest the shooting of Presidents, even though he himself may stay calmly weaving silk in Paterson, his hand is red.” 3 The New York Journal, Hearst’s Eastern organ, said not long ago: “Do you doubt that Mark Hanna, acting for McKinley, will increase the army and if opccasion arise use it against organized labor, which he so much hates? * Of course, looked at from high up, society seems almost as important as the scum that rises to the top of a kettle of honest soup. Good soup is all beneath the society scum—and very often that scum has to be skimmed off, as in the French revolution. And our little society is so harmless it will be easily skimmed off when the time comes.” : This and columns like it of encouragement to disorder and murder is being repro- duced in the Eastern press. Commenting upon it the Brooklyn Times says: “Mr. Hearst is responsible for what has been said in his own paper under his own name. For the pur- pose of increasing the sale of his paper aniong the discontented he has permitted utter- ances against the President thatshould long ago have been silenced.” New Haven Register: “The conduct of the chief sinner in yellow journalism, with his publications in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, has been responsible.” Springfield (Mass.) Union: “That these utterances have incited to such a crime is even admitted by that anarchist of anarchists, John Most, who bluntly blames the New York Journal for the dastardly crime of Friday.” | Western Christian Advocate: “Seeds of calumny and defamation have fallen on fruitful soil. These sheets like the Journal of New York have printed articles wherein sympathy with assassination as a proper means of venting malignity against order and the laws of society was disguised. How long shall they be endured?” Dayton (Ohio) Journal: “At the door of Hearst may be laid this despicable deed. He is quite right in his estimate of the mental capacity of the spawn of fiends. The honor of feeding the food most easily digested by the brains of anarchism belongs to the pub- lication society headed by Willie Hearst.” The New York Press prints the following letter: “Sir: Last Saturday afternoon while discussing the assassination of the President a large number of citizens of the United States formed a league known as the Anti-Anarchict League. We are associated to in- fluence our friends and their friends against the Yellow Journal—an instrument in the hands of W. R. Hearst. CHARLES B. CAROLAN, President.” The New York Sun of the 13th inst. prints two solid columns of letters from citi- zens denouncing Hearst and his papers. Again we rest in presenting the indictment found by the American press and people against this man and his newspapers. He threatens retaliation! Well, a rattlesnake may do that. But William Rattlesnake Hearst must retaliate on the whole people and his poison, great as it is, will not hold out. ! y ribaldry had For a year past the School Board of Chicago has been subjecting candidates for teachers’ places to a strict physical examination, and Dr. Julia Holmes Smith, who was instrumental in having the rule adopted, says it has compelled the \'oung women to take care of their health. “They have had soup for lunch instead of a few cookies. They have not dieted as they used to on slate pencils and pickles.” Such reports encourage the belief that if the rule be en- forced right through the century the Chicago young woman may become about as lovely and vigorous as ythe San Francisco girl. One of the noted automobiles at Newport is called “The White Ghost” and another “The Red Devil,” and perhgps ere long one will be named “The Saffron Snake,” and then a stranger in the city will hardly have time to see the sights before he will think he has got 'em again. The census reports reveal the curious fact that the percentage of illiterates is larger in New Hampshire than in Nebraska, but New Hampshire can console herself with the thought that she hasn't so many Bryanites. = pulpit to call it not a joke, but what it is, the gospel of assassination, and then it will be_ NEW YORK GIRL IS TO MARRY FRENCH COUNT ! + - - o FORMER VICE PRESIDENT MORTON'S DAUGHTER, WHO WILL BE- COME THE COUNTESS BOSON DE PERIGORD, IS RECOGNIZED AS A TYPICAL ATHLETE AMONG WOMEN.

It appears to have been purely a political trick to reward the pets of the administration, and the welfare of the institution had no consideration in the matter.

An experiment, the first of its kind, was suqcessfully performed a few days ago by Dr. Garel, a well-known physiclan of Lyons, France. Being called upon to pre- scribe for an Infant who was suffering from an {ncessant coush, he fancied the trouble might be due to some forelgn body which was clogging the respiratory organs, and a test which he made with Rontgen rays satisfied him that he was right, for they showed distinctly that one of the bronchial tubes was obstructed. He learned then from the mother that the infant had swallowed a large ' nail about twe months before that time, but that, as no grave symptoms had appeared at the time little tmportance had been at- tached to the accldent. Dr. Garel felt con- vinced that the nail was sticking in the throat, but what puzzled him was how he should extract it. Finally he determineq to try an electro-magnet. He knew that pieces of metal h ) extracted from eyes in this “y.adn:e;: thought it barely possible that he might be able to extract the nall. Consequently he provided. himself with a magnet and, having made the necesiiary incision in the skin, he placed it as near as he could to the nail. The result was exactly what he had hoped for. The nafl left its lurking place in the child’s throat and fixed ft- self to the magnet. At once the child's ;:Iu:l“l;l ceased and it Is now in perfect ealth.

The mysterious inseription written upon_the wall of Belshazzer's palace in which Dan- fel read the doom of the king and his dynasty. The Interpretation Is given in Daniel v, verses 26 to 28. In verse 28, peres (a Chaldean singular participle: peres— divided or broken) is substituted for upharsin (composed of the comjunction U and plural participle parsin, which be- comes pharsin when the conjunction is prefixed.” PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESI- DENT—Subscriber, City. According to the accepted theory and practice in all cases in which the Vice President of the United States has succeeded to the office of President through the death of the President he has succeeded to the title as well as the office and all executive docu- merits have been signed as President. In the meantime the dutles he performed as Vice President devolve upon the Presi- dent pro tempore of the Senate, who In law is known only by this latter title. The reason for this is In the following: 1. The Vice President is directly a crea~ ture of the constitution, whereas the President pro tempore is a creature of a Congressional statute. 2. The Vice Presi- dent is elected by the suffrages of the cit- izens of all the States as a representative of the entire country, whereas the Presi- dent pro tempore of the Senate first by choice of the Legislature of only a single State as Senator for that State, and sec- ond by choice of the Senate as its pre- siding officer. While he presides he re- tains his rights as a Senator, and whereas the Vice President cannot votg except when thers is a tle, the President pro tempore can vote as freely as If he wera not the presiding officer. In cases where a two-thirds vote is requisite, as in the overriding of a Presidential veto, this is a material matter. 3. The Vice President succeeds to the office of President for the entire period of the unexpired term of the _President removed or deceased, whether that be but a few days or, as in the case of Fillmore and Johnson, nearly the whole of ‘the four years. On the other hand, the President pro tempore of the Senate can in no case succeed to the office of Presi- dent, for by the act of 1886, in_case of no President and no Vice Presidht to take the office of President, the office of Presi- dent goes in the following line of succes- sion: To the Secretary of State, of the Treasury, of War, of the Navy, Postmas- ter General, Seeretary of the Interigr and Attorney General. The compensation of the Vice President is 38000 a year. The Revised Statutes say: “Whenever there 1s no Vice President the President of the Senate for the time. being is entitled to the compensation provided by law for the Vice President.” —_——— Choice candles, Townsend's, Palace Hotel® * Cal. glace fruit 50c per Ib at Townsend's.* ?
