THE NEW COURT HOUSE.
Our county commissioners lir
scon fit to reject nil the bids for i
novr court house and tlioy liavo i
dorcd the nrchito-H , Mr. Mycrw ,
prepare modified plans by subslituli
a second-class firo-proof for the fir
class firo-proof building AS oritrina
dcMgncd. Two reasons are assign
by the commissioners for this coun
Ono is the fact that the cost of t
building nn originally designed w
exceed the limit they had put up
the Bamo twelve months nj
the other reason is that some of t
bidders did not fully comply with t
requirements of tlio proposals.
Now everybody knows that the n
vnnco in the cost of labor and mal
rials since last year is from ten
twenty per cent. A court house tli
could have boon built last year f
$150,000 cannot now bo built f
much less than $180,000. , Wo are i
liably informed that responsible pi
ties are ready to contract for t
building under Mr. Myers' first-clt
fire proof plans for $175,000.
The people of Omaha nnd Dougln
county want a first-class fire pro
building and they will have nothii
else. They voted $125,000 in bon
with the distinct understanding th
a fire proof building was an absolu
necessity , and they oxpcct the coi
misslonors to make good their proi
iso , oven if the building should cc
$25,000 or $50,000 above tlio origin
estimate. No reasonable man e
pects the commissioners bo able
build on last year's estimate nt tl
year's advanced price of labor at
material.

AN UNSETTLED QUESTION.
The possibility of n long convalos.
moo in the case of the president and
s consequent inability to perform
.0 duties of his oflico raises the
lostioii whether , under such circuit
uncos of temporary disability , the
ce-prosidont would bo authorized toke
ko upon himsnlf the functions ole
o chief executive. The constitu-
311 provides certain duties whicli
n only bo performed by the
osidont ami cannot bo dole-
xtod te > any other ollicor.
lie constitution proscribes that the
csidont shall nominate , nnd with the
niBont of the simato make appoint-
onts. No one , therefore , ox-
pting the president can prose -
> so nominations to the uonato , mid
) ono but the president
n make appointments confirmed bye
o senate. As commandor-in-chiof
the nrmy and navy the president is
0 only oflicor authorized to
11 out the naval or military forces
r the suppression of insurrection
the repelling of invasion If any
rious riots should break out in any
jlioa of the country which the gov
lors of the states found themselves
able to eiuoll , the president iilono
8 authority to call out nnd use mill-
y force. Tlio gtmoral of the army
il the secretary of war may use the
fiilarnrmy for police eluty in the
rilorios , but" they have no right to
id thcso troops into nny of llio
itcs. Again the constitution coui-
inds the president to communicate
congress , the stuto' eif the
untry and make such rocommundn *
iiis as ho may doom proper for their
jislativo action. Congress may pass

nts That function makes the presi-
nt n part of the law-making power"
fho povornmont. nnd in the oxer-
o of that function the president's
; is not merely clerical as in the
ning of n commission , but ho is
und to employ nil the men-
faculties . that are requisite in
.sing judgment upon every import-
. ' moasuro. In CAHO of the presi-
it's disability to consider or approve
1 appropriation bills passed by Con *
as , the wliolo machinery of our gov-
niient would soon bo at n standstill ,
juld the illness oi the president bo
'tracted ' through months of weary
ivalosconco this question would
20 itself upon the attention of the
government for speedy detormii
tion.
tion.Tho
The constitution declares that
case of the romovnl of the preside
from office , or of his death or rcsigi
tion , the vice president succeed *
his place and becomes president. . '
case of removal or rcsignnti
has ever occurred , but t
death of thrco presidents 1
resulted in the succession of
equal number of vice-presidents
the presidency. The language of t
constitution that in case of the prc
dent's ' "inability to discharge t
powers and duties of the said oflii
the same shall devolve on the vie
president , " fails to cover the ca ;
There is nothing in the whole instr
mcnt nor in the proceedings of co
gross by which it is possible to dote
mine whether the "disability" co
tomplatcd is a temporary or portr
ncnt one or both. The question at
must obtrude itself , whether in ca
of a protracted , though not ncccssa :
ly permanent disability of the pro
dent , the duties of the chief cxocuti
shall devolve upon the vice-preside
for the time being and be laid asi
when the president is able to resur
bis official duties. It is a singul
Pact , which has but recently be
brought to notice , thnt the constit
Lion has not sufficiently given to co
[ jrcss any power to make provision f
the disability of the president to di
: hargo the powers and duties of 1 ;
jlllco , when there is a vie
president upon whom they may d
folvo. It distinctly declares that co
jress shall provide by law for the ca
if removal , resignation , death or 5
ibility of both president and vie
ircaidont. No provision is made f <
ho vice-president acting tcmporari
is president or donning the procodui
y which the inability of n prcsidei
s declared removed and his functioi
TO resumed. Probably on account i
ho failure ot the constitution to 1
xplicit upon this point , congre
as neglected to make provisic
ar such an emergency , nr
t haa * never yet been decide
rhothor it lias authority to take sue
ction or not. Justice Story , in con
wonting on this clause of the constiti
ion , merely says : "No provision IK
ot boon made for the caao of the ii
bility of the president or vice pros
cut to perform the duties of hi
flico , nor has any niodo of proof' boo
rcscribod to ascertain the fact of ii
bility or what shall bo deemed ir
