THE CORRECT VIEW.

Congressman Reed is reported as saying in
connection with the proposed change in the
rules: THE Democrats are in power, and !
believe in giving them fair chance to carry
out the reforms they have promised. Should
they fail, it will be incumbent upon the Re-
publicans to show what they can do Mr..
Reeds view is the correct one. The people
have decreed that the responsibility of
legislation in the popular branch of
Congress shall be upon the Democrats
They ought not to be allowed to
shirk any of it. If, by reason of skilfully
devised rules, it is put in the power of the
minority to prevent them from doing what
they would, then they arerelieved of some of
the responsibility which the people intend
ed they should bear. 1t may be argued that
they will do mischief if they are given free
rein. But that is no reason why they should
be tied up The right of the majority to rule
is at the very bottom of our system of govern
ment. If the Democrats abuse the conf
dence reposed in them the people will turn
them out before any irreparable mischief has
been done. But if the responsibility is di-
yidcd the people may not be able to see clear
ly where the fault lies and therefore not be
able to correct it. Let the majority in both
legislative branches of our government be
free to exercise all the power that the consti-
tuition gives them. Then the people will
know whom to punish and whom to COM

Collector Chase seems to have pinned Col.
Sweat down pretty closely to an endorse
ment OF the count-0pt, and Gen. Anderson
is somewhat compromised by the publication
In the Argus of the details of the great rati-
ication meeting of December 81, 1879. 1t
strikes the Bangor Wing that the connecting
of Gen. Anderson's name by that publica-
ton as sponsor of the most glazing political
outrage ever known in the history of any
State, at time when the details of the whole
foul plot will in all probability be laid be-
fore the Senate, is not calculated to be sooth-
ing to the feelings of that gentleman, whose
nomination is yet to be acted upon" 1t is
certainly astonishing-the meekness with
which Gen. Anderson, Col Sweat and other
prominent Democratic leaders submit to see
ing their names daily dragged in the mire by
the Democratic press of the State for the
benefit of Tabulator Chase. Such an ex-
benefit of humility has not been seen since
the old Greenback days when Democratic
bank directors sat ON the platform at poll
teal meetings and heard themselves de
nounced as thieves and oppressors of the
poor by Greenback orators.
The Portland daily press., 1885-12-15
THE SENATE AND THE APPOINT
MENTS

In an interview with Washington cores
pondent, published elsewhere, Senator Hale
states quite explicitly the attitude of him
self and Senator Frye, in regard to the Pres
ident's appointments. 1t is the attitude
generally recommended by the Republican
press of the country and will undoubtedly be
endorsed by the great mass of the intelligent
and patriotic Republicans of the nation.
Irrespective of the right or wrong of such
course, the Republican party, as matter of
policy, cannot afford to indulge in mere fac
tious opposition to the President. It cannot
afford to appear to the country to be fighting
to keep its adherents in office or its oppo-
nents oHt--On the other hand it cannot af-
ford to assent to the appointment of bad men
to Office under the impression that the re-
sponsibility for such appointments will be
entirely upon the President. The Senate
has duty to perform in this matter which
it cannot diyest itself of it. 1t will fail in
the performance of that duty if it rejects
good men for purely political reasons or con-
firms bad men. 1t should treat Mr. Cleve-
lands nominations precisely as it would the
nominations of a Republican President
When an officer has been removed in the
midst of his term it is the duty of the Presi-
dent to furnish the Senate with the causes of
his removal. The Senate should scrutinize
these causes, not with view Of finding some
excuse for rejecting the man appointed in
place of the removed Official but for the pur-
pose of ascertaining whether the allegations
made against the discharged official were
true, and sufficient if true, to justify his re-
moval. This is only an act of justice which
the removed official has right to de-
mand. In cases of removal for offensive
partisanship the Senate should insist on
knowing in what that offensive partisanship
consisted. The country wants to know
whether the phrase means anything more
than mere prstext for the removal of Re-
publican Office holders in order to fill their
places with Democrats.
But in the matter of the confirmation of
appointments the Senate should be guided
by the character and fitness of the men ap-
pointed. If they are good men, of
clear records, and there is every
reason to believe that they are compe-
tent to discharge the duties of their office
they should be speedily confirmed.
If there be any doubt on these points the
country should be given the benefit of the
doubt and their rejection follow. The coun-
try doesn't want an unseemly wrangle with
the President; neither does it.want bad men
foisted upon it for the sake of bringing the |
which appoints them into
disrepute.

THEY WILL RE JUST.
N. Y. Tribune
The opinions of the Republican members
of the Senate all along have been against
making unfair trouble for the President
when his nominations were sent in, and their
determination to this effect in caucus yester-
day will have the approval of the party at
large. Captious criticism would be undig-
nifed and useless; for the failure to confirm
does not restore to office the old occupant
The nominations will be treated in the spirit
of the civil service law. Yet many of the
names sent in by the President demand, and
they should receive, severe scrutiny; If they
are unfit they ought to be rejected. The Re
publican Senators will not be ugly; they
will be just That will make the Democrats
unhappy enough.

1t is stated upo what appears to be good
authority that children from one house at
least where diphtheria existed and while it
existed attended the Monument street school
and freely mingled with the pupils. If this
be true, it is hardly worth while to dig in the
cellar for the explanation of the cases in that
school. When the school is reopened every
possible precaution should be taken to pre-
