THE COMING CONTEST IN THE SEN.
ATE.
What the Republican SENATORS WIN DO.

What the Republican Senators VIII Do.
Senator Cullom of Illinois, who has
made an extended tour throughout the
North and East since Congress adjourn
ed, is quoted as saying, in Saratoga on
Monday: 1--WE propose to try this issue of
offensive partisanship to the very utter
most We will make II war from the
very word 90 on that issue We regard the
administration position on this point AS
simply one of humbug and pretence. We
propose to show up that position in its
true light In order to justify removal
the Administration must be able to show
something more than the fact that the
official so removed has only taken an Ors
binary interest and part in politics. ii
won't do for the administration to rt-
move men for offensive partiSanship and
appoint offensive partiSanS in their places.
The answer that they make to this ObieC-
ton is that Democratic purtiSauS are par
tisans not in Office and that mere ap-
pOntment will change their entire CharaC-
ter and remove them at once from the
field of politics. Now, | believe this is all
/ hypocrisy and Il sham. If the admins
tratiOn had removed men simply because
they were Republicans and put good
Democrats in their places. the Republican
Senators would not have dreamed of max
ing any general fight against his appoint.
ments But as it is we propose to try
each case upon its merits and then decide
for ourselves how muck this offensive
craftsmanship shall stand as a bar to hold

1t is officially announced that the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union, not
content with its success in promoting
habits OF abstinence and control among
men. are about to attack the stronghold
of women's fashions in dress The move
ment begins by the circulation of a peti-
ton to be presented to the publishers of
the various fashion magazines and papers,
asking them to make the figures in the
fashion plates conform to the natural and
proper outline of a healthy female form
the idea being that if the women do not
see the wasp-like waists and bustles eX-
tending yard or two to the rear, in the
plates, they will cease to desire to be like
unto them-and that there will conse-
quently be less tight lacing, and an i'm
provement in the health of women, and of
their offspring. The object is certainly
a most commendable one; hut we fear
that the good women who manage theiI
union with such unselfish zeal have I'M
taken larger task than they can accom-
plish. AS in the matter of woman suf
frage the thing is to get the consent OF
the women, so in the matter of women's
dress the insuperable obstacle will be found
to be the unwillingness of the mass who
take fashion papers, to be ruled by their
stronger minded and more plainly dressed
sisters. The men generally would be glad
to see the women exercise more of the com
mon sense in dress practiced by the mem
bers of the male persuasion. But women
dress chiefly for the eyes and admiration OF
women and we fear that "A petition mile
long will have little weight with the pub
fishers, as long as their customers demand
what they give them-that is the repro
duction on this side of the water of the
styles invented and in vogue in Franc,
and Europe.

The Washington Post, Democratic or
gan at the National Capital, insists that
there is no reason why the President
should give the Senate his reasons for the
removal Of officers before their terms of
office expire, and adds that ''it is certain
that he will not in all cases, and while he
may choose to do so in particular instan-
ces, he may not at all" There is reason
to believe that this new rule, which is we
think, without precedent in the practice
of previous Presidents, has been already
adopted. At least we know that one Sen
ator, having recently applied in the proper
quarter for copy of the charges against
Federal officer suspended for alleged
cause, received for reply an answer to the
effect that the change was ordered by the
President and that the charges would not
be furnished except by his special order.
OF course Mr., Cleveland will take his own
course. And the Senate, we should say.
would be amply justified in assuming
that charges which are too flimsy to be
permitted to see the light, amount to no
charges at all

Reading between the lines little, the
gist of the various resolutions endorsing
the President, adopted by the several
Democratic State conventions held lately,
is seen to be that they think he made a
good beginning in satisfying the hungry
and that they wish 'more power to his
elbow" in welding the axe. The Ohio
convention congratulated him or the "aus-
picious beginning Of necessary reforms, -
reforming Republicans. out and of
Democrats in. The New Hampshire
Democrats sympathized with him in Ibis
determination to fill the offices with honest
men''-that is with Democrats. The Mis-
sissippi men see every thing to inspire
confidence in the Presidents course" Yes,
no doubt all are confident that they will
soon have all the Offices. The only trouble
is that there are not offices enough to go
round.
