Wrecks.

The brethren Griest and Gsist do not
dwell together In unity. We have COM
mented upon the sad disturbances that
thrust themselves upon the public notice
In theinternal affairs of the Republican
party. II is really alarming to see SO
much heat exhibited in this balmy
spring weather; what will it come
to In the summer solstice? At
the present rate of increase there
won't bs q grease spot left of the
party. Combustion at q white heat
will consume every mothers son of the
politicians and party without politi-
clans is no party. We will have to sup
ply the Republican rank and file with
fresh lot of trees of Democratic growth.
We can spare them. It won't do our
garden any harm to weed out the crook
ed sticks and give them to our bereaved
neighbors. The brothers Griest and
Geist are both excellent men in their ways
when you can find out their ways-their
good ones we mean-and We do not wish
the Republicans of the Old Guard TO be
deprived Of their labors and their cheer
ing words. But it is quite evident that
strokes Of apoplexy will take them both
off in the dog days il they keep up their
present exertions to ventilate one an
other. The Inquirer comes out this week
with broadside of editorial firing into
the Geist hulk, in which about the
mildest thing that Griest says of Geist is
that he would he a moral wreck il he
had any morals to wreck Geist having
previously painted Griest as "political
wreck and political beggar." The
question for casuists would be which
is the broadest appellation and therefore
the most grievous. A moral wreck is
bad, certainly; but perhaps it may be
plausibly maintained that political
beggar must be a moral wreck to be q
beggar. And ON the other hand there is
u fair chance for arguing that political
wreck must imply moral soundness, as
immoral politicians are not the ones who
usually 60 to wreck.
We really do not feel able just now to
say which of the Republican organists
has done most damage to the other with
these missiles. Neither do we feel equal
to defending either from the aspersions
of his associate. We feel that it is fam.
ily fight in which We have no business to
interfere; but we can extend our sym
pathy to the little children of the party
whose guardian spirits are avowed to bt
such as they paint each other, and tt
Offer, when they do one another to death
that we will try to supply their places
with some of our own black sheep-th'
kind they like-whO are anxious to find
such a family to care for

What Our Senators Should DO.

nat VQr Seu8IOES OuOu1u DVs
Republican politicians are anxious to
know what course the Democratic sena-
tors will pursue in the matter of confirm
ing the. presidents nominations. 1t is
not difficult to see what their policy will
be if we assume, as we do, that it will
be what it should be. They will vote
for the confirmation of such men to Office
as they believe to be entirely fit for tie
place, and against those whom they be-
lieve to be unfit or about whom they
have any doubts. This is their duty
under the accepted view of the relations
of the president and the Senate in the
matter of filling the national Offices. The
doctrine has been that the presidents s
right of selection should not be hamper
ed with any other condition than that he
should select fit men. He appoints and
therefore has the responsibility of selee-
tiOn. The Senate confirms and SO has
the duty Of inquiring and determining
whether the appointce is fit. If he is,
the presidents choice cannot properly
be rejected.
Oflate years the practice has not been in
accord with this theory; for the senators
have abused their power, to dictate to
the president whom he shall appoint.
And it has come to be considered that
appointments to Office are not really in
the hands of the president, but in the
gift of the senators of the party, who
claim these prizes as rewards for their
henclmen and as means to perpetuate
their personal domination in their
states. Garfield yielded to this practice
in giving to Senator Conkling's friends
many of the New York Offices; but he,
with Blaine's help, undertook to resist it
SO far as to refuse to give him all OF
them; and the most valuable in its pO-
litical influence he gave to Conkling's
enemy.
The issue has now been joined between
the Republican president and the Re-
publican senators as to which shall rule
the party and the country. .Conkling's
cause is that Of his brother senators on
the Republican side, and may naturally
have the sympathy Of his Democratic
colleagues too. If senators may refuse
a confirmation for any other reason than
its unfitness, it would be proper for the
Democratic senators to refuse to vote to
confirm any Republican. They would
certainly have the same right to vote
against putting a political enemy in
Office as Conkling would have he gets
no additional senatorial privilege be-
cause his foe is of his own party on the
contrary his privilege to vote against
him is thereby lessened.
Garfield is right to maintain his prerog-
ative. 1t is one that necessarily attaches
to his Office, and no capable president
will surrender it. It is great evil that
senators and representatives should be
allowed 50 great influence with the ad-
ministration in the appointment of men
to Office and if possible it should be for
hidden by the law.

COLONEL COLE
Talks About the Cincinnati southern
Lease.
Chattanooga Times.

Chattanooga Times.
Colonel Cole returned yesterday and left
last evening for Lookout Mountain, where
he will spend to-day with his family.
A Times reporter approached him yester-
day afternoon on the subject of the lease of
the Cincinnati Southern Railway He stated
that from the fact that he was one of the
bidders, il would hardly be proper for him
to say anything IN regard to it, He replied,
however, in response to interrogatories, that
he considered some of the bids as calculated
to crafty the citizens Of Cincinnati and
was of opinion that one OF the bids
would be accepted by the trustees, and that
the road would be leased. Which bid In his
opinion would be accepted he declined to
state In reply to the question as to which
bid he regarded as the best, he smihngly re-
| piled that of course he as every one else of
| the bidders, regarded his own individual bid
as the best, but he could say, and no one
! could gainsay it. that the East Tennessee,
| Virginia and Georgia system could offer the
Cincinnati Southern more miles of railroad
connection than any other of the syndicates.
He was asked in regard to the statement
! that he and the Erlanger syndicate had bid
by mutual understanding and that il
would make no special difference which
| got the lease. He neither denied or con
! firmed the report. but stated that his rela
tons with the Erlanger syndicate had been
Oh all previous occasions friendly in the
highest degree, and if he was the successful
! bidder he would be glad to have them as
an ally and if they We're rev arded the lease
he should in no regard be hostile to them.

The papers are beginning to SAY
handsome things for DR. Bliss. The
st. Louis Globe-Democrat SAYS:
This is a free country-at least it
Is SO alleged-and those who wish to
criticise Dr.. Bliss are at liberty to
do so. In our Judgment, however,
he deserves the thanks of the coun-
try for his unceasing vigilance at the
bedside of his illustrious patient
Whatever the final result may be, it
cannot be said that DIR. Bliss did not
devote all the resources of his mind
and all the energies of his
body to the President in
his affection. If the patient
had been the nearest and dearest to
him on earth he could not have been
more viSilent in his attention OF
more anxious for successful termi
nation. We do not say that he did
more work or watched more assidu-
ously than the other physicians, but
he seems to have been the only one
in attendance picked out for criticism
and comment. He has done honor tc
himself and to the medical profession
Of the country, and forty Hammonds
