The Republicans in the United States Sen
ate have at last made up their issue with the
President on the question of removals from
office. They declare that the Senate has the
right to have all the papers, public or private,
upon which the President may have acted in
removing or suspending an officer Of the
government The law gives the Senate the
right to approve or disapprove the Presidents
appointments, but the body arrogates to it.
self powers not warranted by the Constitu.
ton. The Senate might with equal proprie.
ty summon the President to the Senate cham
Der and make him disclose, under oath, the
reasons influencing him in making appoint,
mcnts that might be objection bic to the
Senate. The question at issue has been rails
ed before and has always been decided in
favor of the Presidents right to remove Off
GERS without being subject to calechizlng by
the Senate. Senator Edmunds and his Re-
publican colleagues are evidently endeayor-
ing to make political capital for themselves
rather than 10 hold up the hands of President
Cleveland in his efforts to purify the govern.
ment
This attempted encroachment by the Sen
ate upon the constitutional rights of the
President will he resisted by the Democratic
party to the last. The people are satisfied
that President Cleveland is animated by q
sincere desire to DO his duty to The country
and they will sustain him.
The Republican resolutions condemn and
censure Attorney General Garland for refus-
ing to lay before the Senate confidential pa
pcrs relating to removals from office Sera-
tor Morgan, Democrat, ON Tuesday, offered
resolutions inquiring whether the Senate has
the power to censure and condemn the At
torney General for an offence which, if true,
as alleged, would render him liable to i'm
parchment and trial before the Senate, upon
charges presented by the House Senator
Nlorgans resolutions also seek to ascertain
whether the Senate has the constitutional
right to prevent the removal of persons from
office by the President The Republican
Senators will find it difficult to give a reason
able answer to the Democratic resolutions.

Friday Morning, February 26, 1886,
The Constitutional Convention Cues
ton

llOU.
The Senate has, by mutual consent aban-
doned Mr.. Hayes bill for an immediate call
for constitutional convention, the bill of
Senator Lane being substituted for the un-
favorable report from the judiciary commit
tee. Mr.. Lanes bill is strictly in accord
ance with the letter and spirit of the Consti-
ton, and provides that vote lie taken in
1884, on the simple question whether the
people of Maryland want new constitution
or not
The advocates of an carly call, it is said,
intend to offer amendments to Mr.. Lanes
bill, and if possible secure indirectly what
they could not get otherwise, namely, vote
for delegates to convention at the same
time the sense of the people is taken as to the
necessity for calling convention. If dele
gates are put up at the same time the people
are called upon to say whether they want a
new constitution or not, the real question
will be lost sight of. The advocates for new
constitution hope thus to carry their point
We do not need n new Constitution No
OiC bCIiSNSo litRl tIS O'JSIe iS W NSSISasC tllC
army of taX-eaters and we have officials
enough already in every department of the
State government.
The argument that new Constitution is
necessary to bring property under taxation
that now escapes has no force in view of the
fact that the Constitution already declares
that every man shall be taxed according TO
his worth in real and personal property.
The Legislature can equalize taxation now,
if it pleases, and can have no more power
under new Constitution. The people of
Maryland should set their faces against any
change in our organic law. A constitution
that is lightly changed will be lightly re,
garded.
Mr.. Lanes bill came up on Wednesday,
when Mr.. Hayes moved to amend it by add
ing to the first section the whole of his bill.
The amendment was defeated Senator Sap
pington, from Hartford, we are pleased to see,
voted against the amendment, the vote being
II to 0. The Baltimore Sun says it seems al
most certain that the Lane bill will pass both
Houses.

Of this matter, repeal the present law and enact
