The suggestion in our recent dis
patches furnishes the key apparently
% the Republican opposition in the
Senate to open sessions. As the rule
now stands they can have all the adj
vantages Of the open and the secret
session combined. II there il any
thing in executive session which they
are really ashamed Of. or which for any
other reason they wish to keep secret
they can do 50. II they want any thing
made public they can so make il by
violating their oaths and ..leaking."
This Is not a very high-minded view
Of the matter. but il Is logical and
plausible.
Paradoxical As IL may seem the pres
emit method Of conducting the ex-
ecutivc session furnishes the strongest
argument for continuing il and at the
same time for abolishing il. Under II
the public gets sooner or later. and for
the most part with admirable prompti-
tude, every thing Of interest that trans
pires behind the closed doors. In point
Of fact the things which Senators most
desire to keep secret and which II Is
really best should be kept secret. IL any
thing is so kept, are the first to be
divulged. They are Of course the very
things in which a curious public Is
most deeply interested; and the demand
to be informed of them creates the sup
ply. Why, then, it may very plausibly
be argued, Is there any need Of change?
But, on the other hand. II the secret
session Is a dclusion and a humbug
why should il be kept upe Why should
the solemn Senatorial body keep up
the ridiculous pretense Of . secret ses-
sion when they have not the wisdom
or the dignity n prudence 70 keep
