We should suppose that the mournful
experience Of the Democrats in congress
during the past four years would admon-
ash them of the Doubtful propriety of
taking advantage of the Republican va
cancies in the senate To organize that
body before these vacancies can be filed.
But it Is attested by proyerbial lore that

Those cheerful Democratic journals
which are cherishing the irigid conso-
lation that President Gariield's cabinet
is not of the "ConklIng stripe" have al
most as much cause for ,hankfulness as

1t is to be sincerely regretted that the

serious annoyance resulting from the
speedy putrefaction of its remains.

-Iably elevated in the disquieted
e presidents sound and loyal views
sarding the supremacy of the national
government as against the sovereignty
of the states, and his unequivocal posi-
ton in relation to the free exercise of
the elective franchise well become
the man who has stood for twenty
years as soldier and statesman be-
tween the nation and the traitors who
sought its life. The position of General
Garfield on these vital points is just
what the country had ample reason to
hope it would be, and his past record in
dealing with these momentous questions
affords hopeful earnest that his latest
utterances in relation thereto, will not
prove in advance of the practical meas
ures which time and opportunity will
afford him the means of employing.
The man who assumes that "the pur-
chasing power of every coined
dollar should be equal to its
debt-paying power. in all markets
of the world" has enunciated a
financial platform upon which every
honest citizen can safely stand, and upon
whose staunch timbers may be erected
the enduring commercial fabric of e
prosperous and progressive people.
The Mormon iniquity is treated in q
manner to warrant the hope that all
feasible measures will be employed un-
der the new administration for the
speedy suppression Of this unblushing
enormity, which is = burningreproach in
the eyes of the world upon the fair fame
OF the Republic.
The president, in the light of his own
trying experience, makes some sugges-
tions concerning the civil service. which
il would be well for congress to gravelY
consider, with view, if possible, of
suppressing the shameless importantly
born of the ardent lust for place, in the
bosom of the chronic Office seeker.
The address lacks nothing which pro-
found and enlightened thought, as well
as symmetry of construction can impart,
and is the suspicious forerunner of
what the country has every reason to
believe will be brilliant and popular

The COntending Caueuses-The Question OF
Organizing the Senate.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 1.-THE
Republican senators assembled in eau
Gus today, for the purpose of inter-
changing views in regard to the Demo
cratic movement for the immediate Or
ganiZation of the senate. The uRani-
nous opinion of those present was, that
if the Democrats insist upon attempting
organizing the committees while four
Republican seats are vacant that the eff
fort should be strenuously resisted, as il
takes unfair advantage of the Republi-
cans, and is also an injustice to the
incoming senators, whose wishes IN re-
gard to the committee assignments
should be consulted. 1t was there
fore determined that the invitation
of the Democratic caucus for the
Republicans to name the minority men,
bership of the committees shall be de-
clined, and that if the Democrats fill out
the list and present them to the senate
for adoption, the Republicans will alb
stain from voting, and the question viii
then arise whether a quorum of the SEN
ate consists of majority of the SEN
ators holding seats, or of a majority
when all the seats are filled There are
now thirty-seven Democratic senators,
thirty-three Republicans and two In
dependents (nameIy Judge Davis and
Gen. Mahonel. If, therefore, it be de-
cided quorum consists merely of a ma
jority of those holding seats, or if both
Independents vote on the question of
adopting the last, and thus make an
indisputable quorum, the Republicans
will have to accept the committee rep
resentation assigned, but in this
event win endeavor TO reorganize the
Senate il It be in session after the four
vacanees are filed, provided the posi-
tons which may be taken by indepehd-
ents shall by that time afford them a
reasonable chance Of success in reopen
ing the control. The Democrats take
the ground that the business of special
session oDght TO be disposed of as rapid
IL as possible. That it cannot be tran
sacted properly without the formation of
the regular committees, and that it is,
therefore, their duty to proceed with the
work of organization forthwith. 1t was
suggested st Republican caucus to-day
that the President should be advised 70

Bismarck's contempt for parliamentary IN"
stitutions is illustrated by his peremptory re-
fusaI to allow the Reichstag to discuss the
cost of including Altoona in the Customs
Union. He bluntiy informs the deputy who
has reminded him of the fundamental rlg1t Oh
that body to control supplies, that the Gov
ernment also has rights, and these ne lntenus
to uphold against interference from TINS and
future Parliaments. The reorganization OF
narties has no terrors for him, for he 1nvari-
ably gains by any readjustment OF political
forces. Nor is he unwilling to subject his
action to constitutional tests, for no one
knows 10 well as he how little real power
.Sas conferred upon the Reichstag by that
Imperial charter.
The German Empire is union of federated
monarchies, with central executive having
almost absolute authority In war ana
d,plomacy. and with q central LIE glsla-
ture vested with quasi privileges rather
than substantial power in home admlnlstra-
iion. The Federal Council has the privilege
Of anpointing committees which can make gen.
eral suggestions in regard TO the various de-
nartments of administration. These commit
tees do not have anything more than advisory
fU0CClO0S, real DOWCI DOliS SAOA"SN - N~
heads of departments who are appointed
by the Emperor himself. IN like manner, the
Diet is nominally vested with the privileges
of freedom of debate, right OF petltlonlng ana
legislative independence, and the chancellor
himself is responsible to the representatives OF
the people for his public acts. Yet IN practice
these privileges do not seem to confer actual
mower. The Federal Council has efectually
retained control over legislation and the
Chancellor has exerted commanding in
fiuence in that Council. Under Constitution
in which artificial privileges take the place of
actual power, his will is law for the whole
Empire.
When that constitutional system was de-
yised in 1867, and readjusted three years
later. the common view entertained by critics
was that the Diet would gradually acquire
the authority of O single Chamber. The
Federal Council was regarded as an artificial
niece of constitutional mechanism which
would be practically imperative. English
writer's predicted the rise of German nstitu-
tons and practices similar to their own. The
heads of departments would become Ministers,
the President of the Council would be o
Premier, and the Diet would come to have
the functions of the Commons The tendency
of the system has not been in that direction.
The Council has not gore down before the
Diet, but has maintained its position as at
once a Cabinet, Senate and an Advisory
Board appointed by the various governments
embraced in the federativc system OF mon
arches. The Diet has become national
debating society without acquiring control
over domestic administration or performance
in legislation. The Chancellor alone in the
struggle for actual power has steadily I'M
proved his position.

COMING Crops.

The season is now at hand for the farmer to
prophesY ruin for the country and himself dur
ing the coming summer, and accordingly the
premonitory croak of total disaster is heard
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. A month ago
we heard from Delaware that there was not a
peach bud left alive; the early wheat is re-
ported killed in Pennsylvania and New-Jersey )
and from the great West which must always
have glut, even of ruin, comes the announce
ment that there is depth Of two feet Of snow
over the whole OF the land devoted 10 cereals,
and beneath that three feet of frozen soil.
Cattle are dying by the thousands from Michi-
gan TO New Mexico, and the wheat crop Will he
an utter failure. In consequence of these re-
ports, prices in grain have advanced, though
only slightly. Buyers know the exact value OF
this cry Of wolf which they hear every March,
and though they know there is ground tor
ALARM. by no means conCede that the emergency
is likely to be 30 extreme as the farmers OF the
West would have US suppose.
Th. fact is that in the Atlantic States the
frost, coming early this year and while long
drouth had dried up springs and water-cOurses,
has hardened and held the ground TO greater
depth and for a longer time than usual All
the rain falls OF February and the vast body Of
melted snow have not yet succeeded in pene-
trating the frozen earth. The traveller through
the farming districts Of NewYork ana Pennsyl-
yania, who at this time last year would have
passed between green fields Of winter wheat,
now travels past swamps or stretches of shallow
ponds through which last years stubble rises
grimly enough. The same conditions exag-
gerated exist in the Northwest But we shall
hope for the best. If Vennor's prophecy prove
true, and March ends in melting suns and
warm rains, the farmer will yet reap plentiful
though perhaps late harvest. The demand for
our breadstuffs from Europe will not probably
be SO great as it was last year, and there
ia an enormous supply Of grain stored in the
West quite enough TO go into the market with
for the first calls.
