WASHINGTON, Feb. 26, 1885.
In political circles the pending issue
between the President and Senate con-
tinues to be the chief topic of discuss:
ion. Another chapter was added to it
when Senator Morgan, of Alabama, !,
unexpectedly and entirely upon his
own responsibility, presented to the
Senate series of resolutions criticising
the recent Edmunds demonstration.
Mr.. Morgan prescribes heroic treat
ment for offended Senatorial dignity.
He says, let the Senate impeach All
torney General Garland for refusing it
certain papers, if his alleged ofense is
of the class of offenses for which the
head of Department may be i'm
peached, and removed from office.
This is the logical outcome of Mr.
Garland's refusal. Let the Judiciary
Committee Summon the alleged Of
fender-befors the bar of the Senate.
He further says let the Committee
ON Privileges and Elections inquire
and report whether the Senate can
take jurisdiction of said alleged offens-
es by resolution of the Senate, there
being no impeachment of said officer
in the mode required by the Constitu.
tion.
1t is acknowledged that the Morgan
resolutions go to the pith of the matter
and that they are good Offset to the
Edmunds resolutions condemning the

spection. Senator Morgan holds that
the Edmunds resolutions were out OF
order, and should not have been re-
ceived. He was not in his seat at the
time they were offered or he should
have made that point then. AS no

why the Figures Were Changed.

why the ElEures were ChdnSe eus
Michael Ennes, Judge of election
in precinct A, on Friday last was ex-
amined before the Senate investiga-
ting committee. He testified that he
was at the polls as Republican judge.
but was not entirely sober, and did
nothing but turn the crank, but that
as far as he knows everything was all
right and just; that he saw no votes
put in when there were no voters, but
that at about 9 o'clock in the morning
one of the clerks voted, and someone
on the outside who heard the bell ring
objected until the matter was explain
ed to him; that when the count was
finished about 200 tickets were found
under the ballot box, where he had
seen them placed when they were first
taken out; that he was very nervous,
and asked .Tosney, a Democrat, to sign
his name for him to the returns, which
he did, the witness having hold of the
pen; that the judge called out the
name of each voter as the vote was
put in the box, and that no names
were called out after the polls were
closed.
Mr.. John Tosney was the last wit.
ness called, and testified that he was
a Democratic judge at the Fourth
ward. precinct A, and corroborated
Ennis testimony as to the method of
signing the latter's name. Witness
said that all the Prohibition tickets
were counted out first as favor to
Mr., Reid, who wanted to get away;
that the dial of the ballot box was
broken and did not register all of the
votes; that after they had finished the
count two hundred tickets were found
under the ballot box, and that on this
account the'7 on the tally sheet was
turned to 9. At times the voting
was SO fast that the clerks would nat
urally make mistakes in spelling the
names; that the precinct was very
large, and the population, to great
extent, transient, so that it was i'm
| possible to know all residents.
This, with the testimony of the Re-
publican clerk of election at that poll,
that he wrote the figures 926, and that
they were correct, ought to settle that
question.

Library Association.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
L saw piece in recent issue of the
Republican in regard to the Library
Association, and the thought came to
me, has that matter been taken hold
of as it should be done? From the
report of its officers judge that good
start has been made, but is it not rath-
er disgrace to our place and people
that it is not farther advanced? Many
country towns have had and sustained
larger ones, and find it not only a
pleasure but also an improvement for
their young people to keep them from
questionable society, and also better
fit them for the duties of life.
One thing the Association has had
to contend with is, that they could
have the library open only one eve
ming a week, and those living outside
the village are nearly deprived Of its
benefits; but understand that the
Treasurer, g. P. Reed, in whose room
the books are kept, has kindly offered
to have 1t go out that he will see to
receiving and letting out books to
those members living outside the viii
lage; so now many more can partake
of its benfits, IL they wish. Can we
not awaken au interest In this matter
that will give 1t such an impetus that
it can be enlarged, and by that means
place 1t in position that 1t can be
open at any Tina for the purpose of
changing books? And can it not be
so enlarged that works of reference
can be secured, so that If any of our
scholars wish, they can resort to it in
their studies, or cur business men in
their business? 1 do not know but /
am an enthusiast, but think it would
be money we'll expended, and wish
that the law was that every town was
obliged to keep up and maintain a
public library. 1 believe that it would
In a few years be seen that it was

store their minds, that in future years

Did the taxpayers of Pierce county
know the entire unftness of Their
Poor House for the purpose for which
it was intended they would, undoubt
eddy, by large majority, favor the
erection of a new one. The present
asylum in this county for those who
are so unfortunate as to become a
county charge is a standing disgrace
to our people and it should be sup
planted as soon as possible by another
building adapted to the purpose fol-
which it was intended; building con
structed upon some plan having refer
ence to sanitary conditions as we'll as
comfort and convenience. The pres
ent excuse for Poor House was q
bad "bOtch" when first constructed,
grows worse with age, and should not
be regarded as babitable building
next winter. The cause of humanity
calls for a special meeting of the
Board of County Supervisors at an
early day for the purpose of taking
immediate steps toward the erection
of new Poor House which shall be
ready for occupancy as early as the
first of December next. Pierce Coun'
ty is abundantly able to make this
much needed public improvement and
it ought to be made without unneces'
sary delay.
