FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1899.

IT WAS a chilly day for Dewey when he fell into the clutches of the McLean outfit.

COLONEL BRYAN still longs to handle gun. He is now duck hunting in the weBt. Thus there are two great duck hunters in the land, though one of them has never yet been President.

So ADMIRAL DEWEY'S picture has been hissed in a Washington opera housel "Cousin George" can doubtless by this time appreciate the nursery rhyme, "Needles and pins! Needles and pin*!

When a man marries his trouble beglnsl"

AGUINALDO'S latest proclamation announces that the American congress will meet in December to decide whether''the imperialist policy" and "this bloody work" are to be continued. He trusts, he says, that the Democrats will be able to stop the war.

REPRESENTATIVE CURTIS, of Kansas, Baid emphatically: "Kansas will give McKinley not less than 35,000 majority over Bryan in 1900. I know how strong the President is in our Btate and over the ^est generally, and how thoroughly in accord with his views our people are."

KENTUCKY Democrats Beem to have suddenly quit the cry of "government without the consent of the governed." As applied to the probable Goebel majority which is being, by an organized steal, manufactured out of a clear Goebel minority, it might prove emfcar reusing,"

Boss GORMAN is agaiil in the saddle in M&ryl&nd. This was fully shown at a secret conference, held at Gorman's Washington residence, at which Governor-elect Smith was instructed by Gorman just how to dispose of tbe state patronage to the best advantage of the Gorman machine. of t|l(

"THI CHE anti-imperialist league at Washington has mapped out an attractive programme. Among other things it proposes to urge congress to "stop the massacre of the Filipinos it is also announced to banquet and lionize Aguinaldo!s diplomatic representative, when he reaches the city.

THE county commissioners and coun ty council of LMontgomery county would do weii to consider the question of voting machines. While the original outlay would be about $15,000, it would be economy with a capital E. Not only would such a purchase be good business sense, but it would greatly facilitate elections and go far toward the purification of the ballot.

THE Indianapolis Sentinel grows facetious over the death of Vice-Presi-dent Hobart and remarks: "He was merely one who came to the Eurface in the boiling of the political pot and was not skimmed off."

The ever recurring buffoonery and partisan malice, of which the above comment gives evidence, have contributed materially to the reputation which the Sentinel admirably sustains for being the most vituperative and disgusting of the mismanaged newspaper failures in the United States.

OWING to the large Republican majority in the Benate of the congress shortly to assemble, the senate committees will be changed so as to give the Republicans nine of the committees having thirteen members and seven of those haviDg eleven. This will make the finance committee antisilver, for the first time in years, and will insure the prompt reporting of any financial bill that the Republican leaders may wish to pasB. This will be a fair apportionment of the eommittee memberships, as the Republicans will have fifty-one senators, without taking account of the four vacancies, one each from California, Deleware, Pennsylvania, and Utah —if Senator Hay ward, of Nebraska, lives, and fifty if he dies and is succeeded by a Dem-Pop., while there are only thirty-five senators—twenty eight Democrats and seven Populists, or silver Republicans, on the opposi* tion side. It will not cause any sil ver senator to be removed from the finance committee, as there are two vacancies left by the retirement of White and Turpie, these will simply be filled by Republicans which will make the committee stand seven gold to six silver men.

MR. HOBART.

The death of Garrett A. Hobart, removes from a sphere of honor and usefulness, one of the most efficient Vice-Presidents this country has had He was more than a figurehead and discharged tbe duties of his office with a conscientious zealousy and- signal ability, which gave him a national reputation. His life was clean, strong and beautiful and he will live in mem ory as an ideal American gentleman, self made and Belf sustained.

By the death of Mr. Hobart tlie office of Vice-President of the United States becomes vacant for the rest of President McKinley's term, as the law provides for no succession. A president pro tempore of the senate will be elected by that body when con' gresB assembles, who will hold tbe of fice until March, 1901.

By} the law the succession to the Presidency of the United States in the event of vacancy falls upon tne Vice President, and in the event of the latter's death to John Hay, the secretary of state, the next in line being the secretary of the treasury, then the secretary of war, and down through tbe list of cabinet officers, in order of precedence fixed by act of congress when the death of Vice-President Hendricks disclosed the necessityof such a provision.

Senator William C. Frye, of Maine, is now president pro tempore of the senate. He will call that body to order when it assembles on December 4, and preside until a successor iB chosen. That he will succeed himself is generally conceded.

ANOTHER BIG PAYMENT.

State Debt to Be Cut $800,000 in the

f.

.j Month of February.

The state of Indiana will pay $200,000 on the state debt- in February. This will be paid on the 3 per cent, refunding bonds, on which payment became optional June 18, of this year, and on which the state paid $212,000 last August. The state now owes, on this kind of bonds, $3,613,000, which is not "due" until June 18, 1908, but' which can be paid at any time the state sees fit to take them up. After the complete payment of this kind of bonds has been accomplished, no more will become optional for payment until April 1, 1910, The state will next month pay $54,195 interest on the 3 per cent, bonds, and an equal amount PQxt Jung. .. lteturn Date.

GARRET A. HOBART

Death of the Vice.President of the United States Causes Universal Regret.

END CAME AT HIS HOME

In Paterson, N. J., After a Lang Illness From Heart Failure—Arrangements For the Funeral Inoomplete.

President McKinley and Hia Cabinet Will Be Present.

Paterson, N. J., Nov. 23.—The announcement of the death of the vice president of the United States, Garret A. Hobart, which oocurred yesterday, has eaused universal sorrow, as is evidenced by the many telegrams of condolence and the expressions of men of all shades of politioal belief and in all walks of publio life.

Mr. Hobart's death had been expected for some time. The beginning of the end came Monday, when there was a sudden failure of the heart, and from this attaok Mr. Hobart never rallied. He had been sick for along time, and had suffered frequently from heart failure and his strength had been undermined. Gradually the failure of

vs..

GARHET A. HOBART.

the heart's action became more apparent and he lapsed into unconsciousness, from which he never rallied.

Owing to the prostration of Mrs. Hobart the funeral arrangements have not been completed. The only step decided upon is that services shall be held i^heqh^of llJedeomer ig this Mty, and the interment in the family 1$ ploF at Cedar lawn, where the only daughtet of Mr. and Mrs. Hobart was burried six years ago.- Rev. Dr. Magee will preach the sermon.

The church cannot accommodate more than 800 persons, and, as thousands will be

eager

to attend the services, it was

suggested that they be held in the armory, which will accommodate 10,000. It is known, however, that Mrs. Hobart wishes the funeral to be as quiet as possible and there is little liklihood that the program will be changed.

The mayor and aldermen of Paterson have suggested that the body lie in state at the oity hall on Friday and Saturday morning and the suggestion will probably be carried out.

The pallbearers have been selected, but their names will be withheld until •ter tljey have been notified and have ioepted.

Nearly all the representatives of foreign nations in this country have sent messages of sympathy to Mrs. Hobart. One of the first to express his sorrow at the death ot" the vioe president was President McKinley, who had been notified by telephone by Private Secretary Evans. Attorney General Griggs, who was in Washington, telegraphed that he would return to Paterson at the earliest possible moment and he is expeoted to take charge of all the details of the funeral.

PRESIDENT AND CABINET

And tbe United States Senate/Will Attend the Funeral. Washington, Nov. S3.—-The funeral of "Vice President Hobart, who died yesterday at Paterson, N. JM will be attended on Saturday by the president and iiis cabinet, the supreme court, the senate in a body and a large eommittee from the

houBe

of representatives, be*

•ides many other high dignitaries of_tho government, who will journey to Paterson to pay their last tribute of respect to the memory of the vioe president. Every senator has been invited to be present, and the senate will meet at the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York, Saturday, and thence travel in a body to Patersou.

Sergeant-at- Arms Bright has engaged a

Bp

ecial train to convey the president aim hi! cabinet and the United States supreme court to Paterson.

The death of Vice President Hobart naturally recalls the death of Vioe President Hendrioks, who expired suddenly of paralysis of the heart, Nov. 26, 1885. At the time the question of the successon to the presinenoy had not then been settled by law,

News of Mr. Hendricks' death wsw received in Washington late on the afternoon of Nov. 25. President Cleveland was at dinner -when the news was brought to him by Seoretary Lament. President Cleveland's first aot was to dispatch a telegram of oondoleaoe to Mrs. Hendricks, after which a proclamation was prepared making on offioial announcement of the vice president's Jdeath to the public, establishing a us^ge Which was fqUo.wed. yesterday by President McKinley.

On the morning following Mr. H«idrick's death, meetings of suoh members

of the house and senate as were in town were held at the capital and committees from both legislative branches were appointed to attend the funeral services which were held in Indianapolis on the Tuesday following.

President Cleveland at first expressed his intention of attending the funeral, but there was an immediate protest from all his adw.ssrs, seconded by the press of both parties, against his subjecting himself to even the alight possibilities of an accident inoident to travel at the time when there was no provision for a successor in his offloe, and when his death might have entailed serious consequences. After some days the president deferred to the advioe of hia friends and remained in Washington. The cabinet, however, attended the funeral in a body.

Pending the president's decision not to go to Indianapolis, the most elaborate preparations were made by the railroad officials for the safeguarding of his train iu case the journey should be made, special track walkers, pilot engines and the like being detailed to Insure the safety of the whole route.

The law applicable to the vice-presi-dency was enacted Jan. 19, 1896, by the 49th congress, first session. The main features are as follows:

Be it enaoted, eta., that in ease of removal, deatb, resignation or inability of both the president and vice president of the United Suites, the secretary of state., or secretary of the treasury, or secretary of war, or attorney general, or postmaster general, of secretary of the navy, or secretary of tho interior shall aot as president until the disability of the president or vice president is removed, or a president shall be elected.

By the death of Mr. Hobart, Senator William P. Frye, of Maine, beoomes president pro tempore of the senate and will discharge all the duties of the vice president as presiding officer of that body.

A curious coincidence of the death of Vice President Hobart is found in the fact that of the six vice presidents who have died in office, fo#ur died within a few days of the same day of the month in the year of their deaths, the death of Mr. Hobart being Nov. 31, 1893 that of Mr. Wilson, Nov. 22. 1875, that of Elbridge Geary, Nov. 23, 1814 and that of Mr. Hendricks Nov. 24,1885. The other two vice presidents who died in office were Clinton and King. The former died April, 20, 1812p and the latter April, 17, 1853.
