THE PRESIDENT AND THE SENATE.
Tie Senate Has the Undoubted Right to All
Papers ON D7psstfaant Files.

TIE SENATE Has the Undoubted Right to All
Papers ON Department Files.
Special to New York Herald
No one can deny, and probably no one con-
nected with the administration will deny, that
either house of Congress has the right to see any
papers on file or which ought to be on file in any
department of the government. The right and
power of Congress to inquire into the manage
nent Of the peoples affairs has never been
questioned. The Senate sitting as legislating
body may not only demand the papers on any
subject,from any department and all the papers.
but it may even require the head of the depart
ment the Cabinet minister, to appear before it
in person to answer its questions on matters Of
public concern. The late Secretary Folger was
once directed to bring certain books to the
House of Representatives, and finding that the
mandate ran to him personally quietly got into
astreet car and carried the books to the Capitol
himself, though it had been intended only that
he should send clerk with them.
1t is plain enough that if the legislative branch
had not this power to demand all the papers in
any matter they choose to ask the people would
be at the mercy of the executive, and wicked
President might prosecute any scheme he chose,
in secrecy and security. The law making body,
and either house of it, is entitled, as necessary
part of its authority and of the general security
to see every paper on the files of any department.
TheSe papers cannot be destroyed. They must
be kept there, and they must be sent to the leg
slative branch whenever they are called for.
Such calls are constantly made. Sometimes the
phrase IF not incompatible with public inter
ests" is used in such demands, but that is not
necessary.
A Senator Of long experience said to-day: ''Such
demands have never been refused since the ORR
gin of the government"

The New Oil and Gas Wells.

Mr. J. E. Watson, of the West Vir-
ginia, Gas Oil and Coal Company, is
quoted as saying:
1--WE think that a protraction of
the Washington county oil and gas
line will bring it into the counties of
Marion, Wetzel, Harrison, Dod-
bridge, Wood and Writ in West Viz
ginia, to the Little Kanawha river.
Our company is in possession of
leases for several thousand acres in
these counties and have begun to
drill for gas and oil in Wetzel and
Marion counties near Baltimore and
Ohio road. The gas may be piped
to half dozen larger towns within
distance of thirty miles, including
Morgantown, Fairmont, Grafton,
Clarksburg, Warrington, Cameron,
Pennington and Moundsville that
at present pay quite high prices for
coal. We think, however. that the
best prospect we have for financial
success is in the development of the
oil territory, as its product would be
Immediately profitable and always
saleable. The indications are of the
most fattering character, and within
the next ninety days we shall know
fully of the. characteristics of the
field"

The Facts i'm the Case.

Although this has been year of
strikes and general business depres-
sion, we started in with boom, and
have been booming ever since. Trade
in every one of our large depart
ments has been better-and a good
deal better-than in any former year.
We've worked hard to get good
things to sell, and to sell them
cheaply. More of our success is
due to this than soft hands and the
thoughtless think. Our purchases
are on such gigantic scale-owing
to our large and increasing business
that we are often enabled to buy
the best goods in the market for less
even than the cost of production.
This enables us to undersell all COM
petition. We closely watch our bus
mess, have a pretty fair idea of
what's going on, and know that we
place our merchandise upon our
counters at lower figures than any
other house.

A Gesd one - Rsrner usrgnneswn
Most people in Morganfown re-
member Matt. s. Hughes, SON of
Rev. T. B. Hughes. He is now at
Parkersburg reporting for the State
Journal. If the Sentinel of that
place, is to be relied upon Matt had
some vigorous exercise the other
day. He had written an article de-
cidedly uncomplimenta-y to a police
man of that place named Samuels,
and Mr.. Samuels concluded he
would "see" the writer of the article.
Let the Sentinel tell the rest:
"Mr. Baker of the journal in re-
Spouse to Samuels' inquiry, said
Hughes was the author. Samuels
then wandered toward the Point on
the hunt of Hughes. There were not
less than 300 people around the Ho-
tel Buckingham waiting for the boat
TO start to the picnic. Samuels soon
discovered Hughes near and began
to make inquiry about the article,
and at the same time emphasized
his question by a gesticulation of
the arm. Hughes wildly remember
ing the old saying that HE who
fights and runs away, may live to
fight another day" Immediately took
to his heels and run for dear life,
Samuels after him. Up Kanawha
street they went nip and tuck throw
ing the dust like race horses, and
the crowd screaming with laughter.
Hughes discarded his hat and eye
glasses, and started to throw off his
coat but remembering that he had
on no shirt, only celluloid bosom
and cuffs, he forebore the exposure
and continued ahead at breakneck
speed to Market street, and up Mark
ct like quarter horse, throwing
mud, and sand in every direction.
Samuels stopped at Juliana street
and started up that way, and when
Hughes reached Market there was
no one after him, but that made no
difference, he didn't care about tax
ing any chances, and if his legs
would only hold out he proposed to
put two or three States between him
and his imaginary pursuer. Up
Market street went Hughes past the
court house, his coat tails standing
straight out and his hair erect like
"a bundle of rye straw. No expert
tenor drummer ever beat such a Ia
too as his feet made on the hard
brick pavement. Speeding along at
a rate that would put Ten Broeck's
best time to shame, he discovered
an asylum in Coverts store, with
despairing cry, "Oh, save me!' he
threw himself helpless under the
counter. Visions of Samuels reviv-
ed him, and when asked where he
was going replied never mind l will
be back in few days" The police
reserves having been called out
Hughes was placed in the center of
a hollow square, and surrounded by
blue coated guardians, he was escor-
ted to the boat and went on his way
rejoicing"

was out horseback riding the 9TH
er evening, and though l don't pride
myself on my grace as an equestri-
enne, yet there isn't girl this side
of the blue grass region Of Kentucky
who admires a good horse more than
I do. l like people, too, of course,
and think that some people are al
most as smart as horses and nearly
as good looking, but horses haven't
been half as mean to me as some
people have, and as a class / believe

Such parties would certainly be
''more swelr' than carriage parties,
they wouldn't cost the young gentle
men any more, and the exercise
would be very much better. What
say yon for horseback party to
Cheat View? / have
thought that ladies in the country
do not place enough Importance on
this exercise. Nearly all of them
have horses and can ride two or
three times week, yet I am afraid
that not more than half of them try
very hard to be graceful in the sad
die, or have any particular desire to
be good horsewomen. Girls can't
we do a little better in this matter?
In this you have greatly the advan-
tage of us town girls-you have
horses, and don't have to wait and
wait and wait until George or John
or Fred has saved money enough TO
hire one for you. And they are fat
and sleek (I mean the horses, Of
course) and look well on the road.
The men say that there il hardly
anything else SO striking as dash
ing, graceful horsewoman. We
ought to practice this art more, not
to please the men exactly, but for
pleasure and for exercise. Remem-
