THE Cabinet have advised the President to
decline to send to the Senate any papers rela-
tive to the conduct of officers of the United
States who have been removed or suspended
from Office during the recess of Congress. As
constitutional question, we do not believe
there can be two opinions as to the right of
either house of Congress to access to all pa
pers on file affecting the manner in which a
public officer has discharged tho
duties Of his trust. The position the
President is about to assume is in direct con-
fict with the policy pursued in the admins
tration of the government from the time of
it's foundation. If the President may decline
to send to the Senate copies Of papers on file
relative to the conduct Of officers, where shall
there be limit to the authority to keep back
from Congress the information to which
it is entitled, and which is essen
tial to proper and constitutional
exercise of its dutiesY In addition to this, it
is our opinion, as we argued some days ago,
that where an officer holds by joint tenure
the nomination of the President and the con-
frmation Of the Senate-for specified and
determinate time, the President has not the
authority to dismiss him peremptorily on his
own motion.
On the side of the morals and rightfulness
of the Presidents action there can be no
question. It is immoral and despotic, infa-
nous and cowardly, for the President, or any
body else, to dismiss man from a public Of
fee under Charges" and not allow him or
any one else to know what those charges are.
1t is species of political assassination which
the people of this country will not indorse.
Another thing: here is the great civil-service
reformer, who pompously announced that no
officer should be removed except for cause,
and who, presumably, would be anxious to
vindicate himself to the Senate and to the
public in every removal he made fastening
to skulk behind an alleged constitutional
prerogative, to avoid telling why he has dis
missed public servant from his place 1t is
piece Of pusillanimity, on a par with a
man who buys bill of goods, and when the
bill is presented avoids payment by pleading
that he is a minor, and therefore irrespon-
sible Grover Cleveland, the strong man, the
giant of civil-service reform, hiding behind a
presumed privilege to avoid an honest respon-
sibility, is spectacle which the American
people may well be amazed and disguised at.

"YoU speak Of Gov. Morton as pollti-

writes an esteemed correspondent. The
paragraph to which reference is made
alluded to politicians. Morton was poll
tIcian-a consummate master OF political
strategy-and his mighty works were
wrought when statesmen who were not
politicians were useless membranes.
We may add that, even in these days, or In
any days likely to come, the statesman who
is ashamed to be politician will be known
rather as an able theorlst than useful public
servant.
