SENATOR MORGAN. of Alabama the
other day declared in favor of the
continuance OF executive secret
sessions in considering appointments,
and gave his reasons as follows, and
they seem to be very good ones:
1t IL an unwelcome and often a
trying and disgusting duty that we
must perform in hearing accusations
of crime and immoralities against
men of Office or seeking Office. Our
methods of trial are entirely ex- parte :;
the evidence we hear is almost ex
clusively second hand or hearsay ,and
often malice in it's most vicious form
turks in the darkness of this chamber
in order to defame the innocent. If
we should open the doors and hear
accusations we would oftentimes con.
sign a man to infamy by a prejudg.
ment or force court to try him, with
the judgment of the Senate against
him in advance, on an ex.partc hear.
ing. 1t would be a cruel decree
againrt the public peace against
private character and common de.
cenoy, to uncover to the world what
must be uncovered to the Senate in
the performance of duty given us
by the Constitution which we are
sworn to support. "Let us not" con.
tinued Mr.. Morgan, perform this
disagreesble duty in open session.
If we must perform it, let us draw
around it the veil of seclusion for the
benefit, not of the Senate, but for
the benefit Of the peace, welfare and
deeenCy of the country"

GEN. LoGAS's bill providing for
the increase of enlisted men in the
army TO a maximum of 10000 will
probably not be adopted, and there
does not appear to he any very good
reason why It should be. The prob
abilities Of our going to war with any
other nation are 80 remote that we
arc content with the mere skeleton of
an army organization. TO adopt
any other policy. with reference to
war with foreign powers, would in
yOlye much greater increase than
the one proposed. For skeleton bur.
poses our present number Of soldiers
is sufficient, and there is less and
less need Of men TO take care Of the
Indians as time passes Gen. Lo.
gan's main argument in favor Of more
men seems 20 be that the officers
want them. lie says; Our officers
are almost ashamed TO bring their
companies out in the presence Of the
American people. No officer can be
proud Of a company Of twenty mon
unless IL has been reduced % that
number in battle" We feel rather
sorry for the officers feelings with
respectto appearances, but are scarce
ly prepared to ON up companies TO
their full complement for their relief
merely II would cost too much
money. There is another consider
alton not to be lost sight Of in this
connection, and that IS that while the
pension business continues 90 expand,
as 10 is doing at present, there is no
telling what future expenditures the
Of each additional man
will result in. Only stern necessity
can Justify the assumption Of these
financial liabiliues.-N Y. WoTH

SENBTOR RIDDLEBERGER, although
q very cratic and sometimes incom.
prehensible person in the Senate, has
his uses. and the last and best one
discovered was made known in the
executive session Of the Senate few
days ago. He showed how the Sc.
crets Of the executive session were
peddled out. and in an endeavor to
fix the responsibility made clear that
the disclosures were generally in the
interest of the Republican party. 1t
had come to his notice, Mr. Riddle.
berger said, that all the points made
in Senate executive sessions by Re.
publicans against Democrats had
been furnished infinitely to the press,
while no one ever heard of the points
mape by Democrats against Repub-
licans, The conclusion was therefore
clear that Republican Senators were
the leaky vessels.

Invading the Land.

CHICAGO, March 30.-During the
recent storms the waters of the lake
made still further encroachments on
the Lake Shore drive, in Lincoln
Park. From North avenue pier for
a distance of about half a mile north
the drive is impossible, being wash
ed out in some places and covered
with debris in others. All along the
shore of Lincoln Park and Evanston
great quantities Of earth have been
washed away. One very remarkable
and startling fact is disclosed in con.
nection with the encroachment of the
lake of Lincoln Park, and that is
that the whole surface of the lake is
gradually rising at the rate of about
four inches per year. The record
shows that the surface of the water is
now two and half feet higher than
1t was seven years ago. Portions Of
the Lake Shore driveway, where are
located some of the costliest resi-
dences in the city, have been washed
almost completely away. A severe
wind-storm is prevailing to-day and
the lake is again tempestuous, with
the waves breaking on the beach and
causing further destruction.
