FRIDAY, JULY 12, 2 S95.
Oliicy May bo President.
A good deal of speculation is now be
ing indulged in as to the possible re
sult of a failure of the people to elect a
president in the next presidential elec
tion, nays the Washington correspon
dent of the St. Louis Republic, but no
one seems to have stumbled upon the
fact that such an incident might land
Mr. Olney, the present secretary v of
state, in the presidential chair. Some
have reached the conclusion that it
ndght make Mr. Stevenson, the pres
ent vjee president, the next president,
"merely tluough the failure of the house
to elect, in case no candidate received
a vote of the majority of the states, if
the presidential election is thrown into
that body. But, of courec,that is out of
the question, for, while the constitution
does say that in the case of the failure
of the house to elect, "then the. vice
president shall act as president,"- this
langunge, it is claimed, refers to the
vice president, who is to bo elected by
the senate, while the house is strug
gling with the election of a president.
But suppose the the senate is unable
to elect a vice president? To be sure,
the constitution provides that the sen
ate shall select only two names, those
Jiaving the highest number of electoral
votes, and shall vote for them for the
presidency. But it says that "a ma
jority of the whole number" of votes
In the senate shall be necessary to a
choice. The senate will by February
of 1897 have !,'0 members, as Utah will
doubtless have become a state and
have a senatorial representation before
that date. It this happens it will re
quire 40 votes for one person before he
could become vice president through
the action of the senate. As the re
publicans will have, at the most, as it
is now figured, no more than 45, and
the democrats no more than 40 at the
most, it is not impossible that the 4th
of March, 1807, might be reached with
out the selection of a president by the
house, or a vice . president by "the
senate, in case the election of those of
ficers is thrown into those bodies by a
failure to elect through the usual ma
chinery of the electoral college. : ;
What then? Of course President
Cleveland's term, as president and
Vice President Stevenson's term as
vice president would expire March 4th.
The constitution makes no other pro
vision, evidently assuming that the
senate, with but two candidates before
it,' would elect one as vice president.
But, if the viev that the majority of
the whole membership is necessary to
a choice is a correct one, it is qinte pos
fiible that it might not so elect. How
ever, the law passed by the forty
ninth congress, providing for a suc
cessor to the presidency in the case of
the death or inability of the president,
ueems to provide a way out of the ab
solute chaos which this condition
would bring.
It is generally held that a cabinet of
ficer's term does not end with the term
of the man who appointed him any
more than does that of a post master or
collector of customs. So, in such a
case, the cabinet officers would still be
such, in the eyes of the law,' even after
the expiration of President Cleveland's
term. The presidential succession law
of the' forty-ninth congress provides
that in case of death or inability or re
removal of the president or vice presi
dent, the secretary of state shall act as
president until a successor be provided
and shall within 20 days call a special
Bession of congress, presumably to pro
vide for a special election. In the case
the office of secretary of state becomes
vacant, then the same duty devolves
on the secretary of the treasury, andso
on down the line of cabinet officers. So
there is just a possibility that in case of
a failure to elect a' president by the
usual process and the division of the
house and senate into three sections,
Secretary Olney may become president,
or in his absence, Secretary Carlisle, or
In his absence, Secretary Lamont, who
would be next in order of presidential
succession.
., The managers of the two fruit uuions
at this place Mr. N. C. Evans of the
state union and Mr. H. F. Davidson of
the local union will each make a full
report of their work duri-ig the straw
berry season, showing the number of
crates shipped and prices obtained each
day. Th report will be published in
the Glacikk. The number of the
paper containing this report will be a
valuable one to send abroad. Persons
wishing extra copies will please notify
us in time so that we may know how
many extra copies to print. The re
port will be printed as soon as the copy
is furnished, which may be several
weeks yet.
A daughter was born to President

Pied at I lie Locks.
Mr. D. Cunningham, a stone-cutter
at the Locks, died at that place July
5th, and his remains were brought here
Sunday and buried in Idlewilde cem
etery. He was a member of the I. 0.
O. F., A. O. U. Wand Granite Cut
ter's Union. Quite a large funeral
party accompanied the remains to the
grave, of which there was 64 Odd Fel
lows, 17 Workmen and 20 stone-cutters.
The Workmen conducted the services
at the home and the Odd Fellows at
the grave. Deceased was aged 38, and
was highly respected in that commu

months with a species of consumption,
caused by the inhalation of particles of

Mr. W. W. Nason went down to
erect a chimney for Dr. Adams, on
Paradise farm.
Mrs. McKamey is reported quite ill.
Warren Cooper met with (what
might have been) a serious accident 6n
the 3d inst. In company with some
other boys, hauling lumber to the pic
nic grounds, the wagon became un
coupled, throwing him forward under
the double trees and front wheels. The
team stopped, and Warren escaped
with but slight injuries.
The niornin'g of the 4th dawned dark
and cloudy, and about 9 o'clock it be
gan to rain. This, however, .did not
drown the patriotism of the Mount
Hoodites. Through the efforts of W.S.
Gribble, Mr. Fredenburg's barn was
opened for their benefit, and thither
the picnickdrs adjourned. At 12.30 a
sumptuous repast was served. After
dinner the crowd went up stairs, where
the programme was rendered in a man
ner that would do justice to much more
experienced hands. Following is the
programme: . . i

pendence, by W. 8. Gribble.
Song by choir, "America."
Oration by A. G. McKamey.

good feeling prevailed throughout the
day. Among those in attendance we
noticed C. A. Bell, the popular propri
etor of the Mt. Hood hotel, Hood River,

Weather Report from Cloud Cap Inn.
W. A. Langille, voluntary observer
for the weather bureau at Cloud Cap
Inn, sent in a report for the last fiye
days in June, from which we take the
following summary:
Mean temperature, 62.04; maximum
temperature, 77.80; (late, 28th.
Minimum temperature-, 41.80: date,
30th.
Number of 'days clear, 2; partly
cloudy, 2; cloudy, 1. Prevailing wind,
east.
On 2Sth, lightning in southeast from
9.15 to 9.45; no thunder here.
The-Dalles was a lively town for
three days last week. The celebration
of the 4th drew a great many people
from the country and . surrounding
towns, many of whom remained for
the circus Sut.urday. People came for
a hundred miles to see the circus. The
Umatilla House served dinner to 296
guests on the 4th and about 200 on the
0th.
John R. Rankin's new ferry boat
made its first landing at Hood River,
below the depot, Wednesday, the pres
ent stage of water allowing it to land
there. It brought over a big lot of
timothy hay for dinger & Bone.which
had been hauled by wagons from Camas
Pruirie.
Mr. L. A. Blount and mother of
Missouri are visiting his nephew, C.
A. Markham. Mr. Blount- was a
member of the Seventh Wisconsin
during the war; E. D. Calkins was i
a member of the Sixth Wisconsin, and j
J. B. Rand belonged to the Second
Wisconsin. These regiments, with the
19th Indiana, composed ' the famous
Iron Brigade. The three old veterans
often get together and talk over the
times of the war. Both of these com
rads of Mr. Calkins witnessed the loss
of the latter's leg by a shell at the bat
tle of Anlietam which killed and
wounded , twenty-one, leaving only
three able-bodied men in the compuuy
that went into the engagement.
Hood River is again experiencing a
hot spell of weather. Thursday was
the warme.it, with the theriho'meter
near the 100 mark. 'The atmosphere is
filled with smoke, and there being no
wind made it very sultry. The smoky
weather came suddenly, and after the
rain ou the 4th, was not expected so
soon.
The Mazamas.
As we go to press (Friday morning)
nothing has been heard from the Ma
zamas who made the ascent of Mt.
jAdams Wednesday. The dense smoke
in the atmosphere on thai day obscured
the mountains from view from the
lower altitudes, and it is supposed that
the smoke hid the mountains and pre
vented the heliograpbic signals from
the peaks proving a success. Major
Mears of Portland, who was one of the
party who went to the top of Mt.
Hood Wedne8da, reports that the
party heliographed Mt. Adams and
received a reply, but the smoke soon
obscured all peaks from view.
Sunday School Picnic.
The Congregational Sunday school
will give its annual picnic next Wed
nesday, Julv 17th, at Crapper's school
house. Near by there is a cold, spark
ling spring of water, and cool, grassy
retreats. Swings, hammocks and
croquet sets will be on hand, so that
everything will be pleasant for the
children. The Sunday school which
meets at Clapper's school house will
unite in this summer outing. Dinner
will be served on the grounds early,
and just before leaving the grounds at
a seasonable hour in the evening, cake
and lemonade will be served. Teams
will leave here at 8.30 a.'m. from the
Congregational church. Tha public in
general is most cordially invited to ac
company the Sunday school children
and enjoy this day's recreation. Come

to the fund for the purchase of an or
gan for use in the .Sunday and day
schools. A programme was to have
been furnished for publication, but
for some reason it failed to arrive at
this office.
J. J. Luekey and family went to
Portland Thursday. -
Thursday's Mountaineer publishes a
list of county warrants issued seven
years prior to July 1, 1895. The clerk

Mrs. C. T. Early of Ohenowith is vis-,
iting relatives in Hood River.
Miss Eva Blowers, who has been vis
iting' at Cbenowiih, returned home
Thursday. '
A Great Danger.
Mr Talmage may not know it, but
he is t he enemy of the new woman and
her bicycle. In the latest of his syndi
cate sermons now making the rounds
of the patent insides, we find this quo
tation from Iizekial: t
"Moreover, the Lord saith, because
the daughters of Zion are haughty and
walk with stretched forth necks and
wanton-eyes, walking and mincing as
they go, and making a tinkling with
their feet, in that day the Lord will
takeaway the bravery of their tink
ling ornaments about their feet, and
their cauls, and their round tires like
the moon, the rings and nose jewels,
the changeable suits of apparel, and the
mantles, and the wimples, and the
crisping pins."
"Do you .vender," asks Mr. Talmage,
"that the Lord God blotted out the
city so that fishermen today spread
their nets where that city once stood?"
Certainly not. But why does Mr.
Talmage stop short of his full revela
tion? There are those who think that
the bicycle is a modern invention, and
the new woman calls herself new
mainly because she thinks her ancient
prototype never rode a wheel in bloom
ers. But what does the prophet refer
to in the words, "and their round tires
like the moon?" Clearly nothing else
than the inflated tires of a bike. This
impression is borne out by the reference
to "making a tinkling with their feet,"
for in ancient Tyre they would be sure
to have a bell ordinance if they had
the bicycle as numerously as we now
nave them In ist. .Louis.
But the most conclusive part of the
prophecy is that relating to "change
able suits of apparel." We consider it
even more conclusive than the con
demnation of the "stretched forth
necks," although that sort of neck is
certainly apart of the bicycle woman.
But "changes in apparel'!" can refer to
nothing else than bloomer. We are
willing to submit the case on that point
alone; and inquire, in view of the fate
that overtook Tyre, how long it will be
until St. Louis becomes a fishing pond.

Five newspaper men, H. G. Mathies,

deathly sick from eating rock oysters
at Newport recently. The first named

The base ball nine from Wamie
was in The Dalles on the Fourth ex
pecting to play with the Hood River
club. The acceptance of the latter
club's challenge had been published iu
two issues of the Chronicle, and the
captain of the Wamie club telephoned
to Hood River conceruinsr the came.
The Wamie boys understood, and were
led to believe t hat the Hood ill vers

circumslances the boys claim the
championship of Wasco county, and
are ready any day to defend the claim.

Don't Stop Tobacco.
The tobacco habit grows on a man
until his nervous system is seriously af
fected, impairing health, comfort and
happiness. To quit suddenly is too se
vere a shock to the system, as tobacco,
to an inveterate user becomes a stimu
lant that hissystem continually craves.
Baco-Curo is a scientific cure for the to
bacco habit, in all its forms, carefully
compounded after the formula of an
eminent Berlin physician who lias used
it in his private practice since 1872, with
out a failure, purely vegetable and guar
anteed perfectly harmless. You can use
all the tobacco you want, while taking
Baco-C'nro, it will notify you when to
stop. We give a written guarantee to
permanently cure any case with three
boxes, or refund the money with 10 per
cent interest. Baco-Curo is not a substi
tute, but a scientific cure, that cures
without the aid of will, power and with
no inconvenience. It leaves thesystem
as pure and free from nieotine as the
dav you took your first chew or smoke.
