In n recent address on arbitration
Judge Thomas NJ. Cooley, of Michigan,
argued that the best tribunal for success
full arbitration would be one proceeding
from the hands of the people themselves.
He advocated n board of control such as
is in vogue in England. Such board
should be permanent and made up equal
" from both sides. With such board at
the service of every railway the country
would be greatly benefited. The certain
coming of general industrial arbitration
was predicted. 1t was pointed out that
arbitration is great educational factor
and rcnches far into the future.

.[Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The president claims, and Justly.
that the Senate is attempting to as
sumo his prerogative when it de.
mands his reasons for the removal
offederal ofice-holders. President
Cleveland has the law upon his side
and will never recede one jot from
the position he has taken. If the
senate refuses to confirm his nomi-
nations he can appoint candidates
for the offices as fast as it can re-
'ject. The President, after having
sent to the senate what he considers
suitable nominees for the various
offices, has performed his duty and
the responsibility of rejection then
rests with that body.
The position taken by the Presi-
dent that he is not accountable to
the Senate for his appointments,
but to the people who elected him,
is a correct and just one. One of
the great fundamental principles
upon which this republic was form
ed, and upon which the freedom of
all rests, is the fact that this is a
government of the people and by
the people. If President Cleveland
should surrender one of the rights
conferred by the people upon him
he would betray a sacred trust. His
position is impregnable. 1t is sus-
tanned by the law and will be sup
ported by the great mass of the
American people.

The President Did Right.
[Cleveland Plain Dealer.I

The people of the United States
will give respectful attention and
read with care President Cleveland's
admirable message to the United
States senate. This will be done
from the fact it is based upon law
and justice, in favor of right and
against the unjust demand of the
senate that places itself before the
country as an oligarchy. Private
communications tothe president of
the United States become n % O
public documents than private cor
respondence to any individual.
The senate cannot call the presi-
dent to account for his action in
this matter, neither can the presi-
dent call the senate to account for
its action in refusing to confirm his
appointments. The action of the
Republican senators will only have
a tendency towards strongly ce-
menting all factions of the Demo-
cratic party and bring them firmly
to his support. Mr.. Edmunds, the
leader of this controversy, has been
accused of being a leader of moth
ing but a blizzard, and the chances
are that he has unanswered the
scattered ranks of his party into a
very unenviable and unpopular
position. President Cleveland, with
that manliness that characterizes
all he says and does, repels with all
the force of his nature the attacks
of his enemies, who desire nothing
but to keep theirhenchmen in office
a little longer and make political
capital for their party. President
Cleveland has put his enemies
upon the defensive, and the blame
for this whole fight will rest with
them.
