WASHINGTON, MARCH 10, 1886.
MIR. EpmUSps' SPEECH.

While It was not intended to be, and
certainly was not the greatest effort OF
his life, Senator Edmunds' speech yes.
tcrday on the right of the Senate to
"boss" the President attracted good
deal of attention, and will be generally
discussed throughout the country. AS
might be expected Mr.. Edmunds makes
the best of his side Of the controversy.
lie takes such prcccionts rs best suit
him and handles them with ingenuity.
lie is most specious perhaps In saying
that the Senate does not ask for the
Presidents reasons for making re.
mov0ls, but simply for the papers of
every description, even to scraps and
memoranda, relating to suspended of.
iicials and the act Of their suspension, In
saying this he admits that should the
papers which the Senate wants be forth
coming they would show the very con
iidential "reasons" which he disclaims
any intention on the part Of the Senate
10 demand. In other words Mr.. Ed
munds admits constructivoly that the
Senate may not ask for the Presidents 5
confidential reasons, but if the Presi-
dent gives that body what it does want
it will have by indirecion all that il
disavows desire to have by direct
requisition.
Mr.. Edmunds, withal, made very
interesting presentation Of his case.
Whether any one on the other side can
he equally interesting is to be seen.
The fact will remain all the while that
whatever may be said one way or the
other will not change the mind of a
single Senator.
One of the best of the Senator's
points was his reading of .atter writ
ten by Judge Thurman, when chair
man of the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee, calling upon the then Attorney.
General for any papers or information
in the latter's possession touching the
propriety of the removal of certain
official. Mr.. Edmunds stated with evi-
dent glee that Mr.. Thurman got the in
formation he desired, and that among
the Democratic majority Of the Senate
Judiciary Committee at the time were
Attorney General Garland, who now
refuses to do what he asked q prede.
cessor to do, and Mr.. Lamar, now a
member of the Cabinet.
Senator Edmunds did not neglect the
opportunity thus afforded to pay his
tribute to his old friend, Judge Thur
man, who, he said, was 'thc greatest
Democrat in the United States, and the
best and the noblest one." He also
tickled ex Senator Mcdonald under the
ribs by referring to his name as one
familiar in the West as in the East as
the embodiment of upright Democratic
pluck and constitutional law"
The speech throughout was delivered
in the best of temper, with some humol
and without trace of acrimony. And
he again ran in that celebrated phrase
'innocuous desuetude," which seems
10 have become as popular with him as
with the President. Last night he at
tended the reception at the White
House and had pleasant chat with
Mr.. Cleveland.
by the way, Mr.. Edmunds did not in
his speech refer to the precedent fur
nished by himself in the Forty frs
Congress, when he said that the merC
fact of the President of the United
States sending nomination to tht
Senate was sufficient for him.

THE TWO VILLAGES.

over the river on the hill
Lieth village quiet and still;
All around II the forest trees
Shiyer and whisper In the breeze.
over II sailing shadows go
OF soaring hawk and screaming crow,
And mountain grasses, low and sweet,
Grow in the middle OF every street.
over the river under the hill
Another village leth still;
There see, In the cloudy night,
Twlnkling stars of household light,
Fires that CLEAN from the smiths door,
Mists that curl on the river shore,
And in the road no grasses grow
For the wheels that hasten to and fro.
In that village on the hill
Never sound Of smith or mill;
Ihe houses are matched With grasses and
flowers,
Never clock to toll the hours;
Ihe marble doors are always shut;
You cannot enter In hall or hut;
All the village lcth asleep.
Never grain to sow or reap,
Never In dream 10 moan or sigh,
Silent and Idle and low they lie.
In that village under the hill
When the night Is starry and stfl
Many weary soul IN prayer
Looks to the other VII lage there
And weeping and signing longs to go
Up to that home from this below;
Longs 10 sleep In the forest wild
WHITTIER have vanished wife and child,
And hearetb praying, this answer fall
Patience! This village shall hold you all.n
