and shirts for weeks and months to-
getber, &c. Truly most horrible

moval is one of the prerogatives OF that body.
And II their consent is not necessary to make
a removal, what right have they to demand
from the President his reasons for exercising
his constitutional powers The Senate ma
jcrity report lays great stress upon the danger
OF the concentration of power In the hands of
the Executive. They cannot see the beam
in their own eyes. And yet the fact is that
the only branch Of the Government that has
increased its own power is the Senate. In
1868 It exercised the power OF keeping in
executive office the corrupt and inefficient.
In 1876 II made President by proclaimipg
that II, through its temporary presiding
officer, could receive or reject whatsoever
electoral votes 1t pleased, and thus forced
the electoral compromise. Now 1t asserts
powers long since conceded to be in the
President alone, and never taken from him
but for the brief interval of less than two
years, and then only to subserve temporary
purpose. 1t is time the American people
were inquiring what sort ofa body the United
States Senate is, and what stop can be put
to its gradual accretons of power, which
make 1t the most powerful body in this OF
any other country.

Not for any good and sulIlccnt reason that we can

plated by the Tehuantepec ship-railway scheme,

difference would have to be provided for by the

A CHAR.HUMORIsT.

II Derrick Dodd, or George Peck, or any Other
celebrated humorst, had tried his level best, he
could not have succeeded In writing on the subject
a funnler article than was written last week by
Mrs, u. johnson HELEN, the lady In charge Of the
charwomen OF the Treasury Department. In 1t she
ably defends her "noble army OF seventy-nve
women" against the charges made by Mrs. g. H.
Reed before the Senate Committee on Education
and Labor, to their immortality. their use OF OBJ
scene language, and singing OF vile songs. She
bursts Into hood OF glowing language such as
would make Talmage or Beecher or Ben Butler take
a back seat on "brand.new settee provided by q
brand-new Secretary" Here are some choice ex-
tracts OF her grandiloquence:
For ten months these DETAINED women have been
In immediate charge OF the writer; and not an ap-

But she has witnessed the sweet graces Of charity
and diyine.llke forbearance under the withering
sc0rn that scrupled not to share the pittance OF
these desplsed associates OF Gods poor; and she

up the harp OF life and s0te on all the chords" so
do not blush TO sign name well known in this city
full OF the poor woInans friends.
The information that ian unclean word or Q RI
bald Jest has not yet reacaed her almost omnipressnt
eye" is especially good. We may say II IL a re-.
markaOly unique Idea. But she should not feel
badly about It, for the weathiest OF could not af
ford TO indulge Ia such luxury. In fact, all the
wealth In the Treasury Department could not buy
one "rioad Jest" that would reach his "omnipies-
ent eye, even his oil eye, for that matter. II is
gratifying, however, TO learn that she "bas heard
from the these common benches words OF tender
sympathy and encouragement" Now, this is o
rarity Of blessing exclusively her own. But there
may be Impending trouble about II, for II she don't
