Itself
But the Senate cannot legisate until it
is organized, and if, as was the case the
other day, there is tie, the Vice Presi-
dent should clearly cast the deciding vote
and 50 complete the organization. The
Democratic theory is simply distinction
without IA difference and had Demo
cratic Vice President been in the chair
under similar circumstances they would
no doubt have argued in favor of his right
to vote on questions affecting the organ
lzatlon of the Senate, and against his
casting the deciding vote in matters of
legislation. a party without principles
or policy need never be at loss for an
argument. The Capitol, although an al
legged Democratic paper, we may add,
sustains the Republican view that the
right of the Vice President to deliver the
casting vote in cases Of tie touches all
acts of the Senate, of whatever nature

One of the earliest and most persistent
advocates of free ships is Capt. John
Goldman. But unlike most of his follow
ers he does not claim that free ships alone
will restore our maritime supremacy and
prove panacea for all the ills with which
our shipping interests are afflicted. To
free ships, he says, must be added free
dom from taxation, the free Importation
of ships stores, and of building and repair
ing materials, reform of the consular
system-in short, an equality in every re-
spect with England in our maritime laws.
But why not adopt these measures, with
out free ships. so that we may build our own
ships, as well as run them successfully in
competition with those ofother countries /?

1t has been decided not to call an OK
ira session Of Congress. This will be a
sad disappointment to eX-Speaker Ran
dali, His idea is that while the country
is as prosperous as it is now there is no
hope for Democratic successes, and that
Congress would have disturbing effect
upon business and financial affairs which
would enure to the benefit Of the party
of which he is an exponent. As the lead
er of the minority IN the House, his policy
would be directed to this end. That Mr..
Randall has some Interior object in view
there can he no doubt His alleged de
votion to party when critically examined
proves to be devotion to Sam Randall
That his party has lost control Of both
branches of Congress is largely due to his
incapacity on the one hand and the pur-
suing of his own selfish ends al the eX-
pense Of his party on the other. He eX-
ercised his autocratic power as Speaker
to senl the able and honest Democrats
to the rear i'll making up committees and
in ignoring them upon the floor, and the
result has been to transform the large
Democratic majority in the House when
Speaker Kerr occupied the chair, to the
minority Of to-day. Mr.. Randalls avoWed
purpose, as stated by the Washington cor
respondents, to endeavor to promote the
Democratic cause by destroying the ma
tional prosperity, is a fair illustration of
his idea of craftsmanship.
The stories concerning the pressure of
office seekers in Washington should be
taken with many grains of allowance.
These reports emanate from corresponds
ents Of papers hostile to the Republican
party, and who stick at nothing to pre-
sent Republicans in the worst possible
light. In the present instance their state
ments are either gross eXaggeratiOns on
utterly without foundation. Aside from
the incentive for misrepresentation which
actuates these correspondents, and the
papers employing them, they find it cas-
Ter to pad out their dispatches with
such stuff as this than to collect the le-
climate news Of the day. The report
that Secretary Blaine is breaking down
under the cares and responsibilities of his
office, which we find in some of our Maine
exchanges, originated with the cores
pendent of Connecticut paper who
prides himself on manufacturing items
with which to impose upon the public.
He boasts Of drawing upon his magma
