The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1886-07-03

The loss to the literary circles Of Boston,
through The death OF Edwin p. Whikple, is
very great. Mr.. Whipple was easily the
best and most forcibe writer Of essays in
this country He had style that was par
ticularly his own. The English used by him
was Of the present, and he so arranged his
sentences as to make his thoughts as clear
ms crystal. He wrote on varied number Of
subjects, and always with equal success. In
his life he was pure as in his writing, and
to himself he drew the warmest affection of
his friends. OF all the early school Of writ
ers, who in years past made Boston famous,
but two now remain, DR.. Oliver Wendell
Holmes, who is enjoying the triumphs Of a
trip through England, and the Quaker poet
Whittier, who is living in quiet just out
from Boston.

The arraignment of the administrations
policy regarding official changes submitted yes
terday by Senator Edmunds Is a characteristic
document being a serious, logical and vigorous
argument which will prove n magazine of
campaign ammunition for party use next fail.
The report is signed by all the republican MEM
bers OF the judiciary committee, but 1t is sus-
pected that one or two of Mr.. Edmund's re-
publican colleagues on the committee do not
follow his lead in this matter with much zeal;
and it Is further said that among the republi-
can Senators generally there is a certain luke
warmness of feeling which may initiate
against very stubborn controversy. For the
present, however, the party shows a united
front. There is to be, In military phrase, "a
demonstration in force" Whether this will be
followed up by a very bloody war remains to be
seen. The first step in the open maneuvres
has been a postponement of ten days to allow
the democrats to get fully ready for the fray.
This courtesy is only equalled by the politeness
of the French troops, who, on a certain occa-
sion, requested the gentlemen OF the enemy to
fire first

The close OF the Fitz John Porter debate in
the House yesterday afternoon brought the
first ''scene" of the session. The members were
mostly in their seats, when, that is they were not
clustered about the speakers, and the dispu-
tants were earnest and pointed in their
marks. The three principal speeches were
made by Phelps, Curtin and Bragg, all of whom
rank among the best orators of the House, and
yesterday they all acquitted themselves well.
Then there was a running fire of Interruptions,
which helped the interest amazingly. if it did
not slucidate the merits of the bill supposed to
be under discussion.
The passage of the measure by a large ma
jority was foregone conclusion. The only in
teresting feature of the vote lay in the number
Of republicans who favored the bill When the
roll was called il appeared that sixteen republic
cans had ranged themselves with democratic
sentiment, making the vote nearly two to one
in favor Of Porter's full vindication. The bill
DOW goes TO the Senate, where its friends pre-
dict it will have four majority, although the
republicans have the political control of the
upper chamber.

Senator Platt put it when he said yesterday
he believed that one-half the entire railroad
capitalization of the country is fictitious" If
he had said two thirds instead of one-half he
would no doubt have been within the bounds of
truth OF course to pay interest or dividends
on this amount of watered stock the people
have TO pay passenger and freight rates that are
two or three times as high as they ought to be.
This is point that should be kept in mind.

UNITED STATES CONGRESS

The American congress is the
most important legislative body IN
world, the British parliament having
less supreme power. The first con-
gress began its session in New York
March 4, 1889, and a year later re-
moved to Philadelphia, where it con-
vened annually for ten years. In
November, 1900, the sixth congress
convened in Washington in the new
capitol building, then but partially
constructed. Hon. Theodore Sedg
wick, of Massachusetts, was then
speaker of the house, and vice presi-
dent Thomas Jefferson presided over
the senate. The two bodies united
comprised less than 100 members at
that time. Now there are 76 sena-
tors and 32j representatives, or a
total OF 40l ia the two houses-an
increase OF 80 since the last census.
The daily session begins at noon
and continues usually four OF five
hours. Often in the early days OF
the session, nothing is done beyond
a little routine lasting an hour or so,
but in the latter part of the session
there comes rush of neglected bus
mess and long days Or even nigh,

The house has very wisely passed
the Hoar succession bill as it came
from the senate. The former de-
fects in the bill have been remedied.
In case of the removal, death, resig-
nation or inability of both the presi-
dent and the vice-president, it vests
the succession in the members of the
cabinet in the following order: secre-
tary of state, secretary of the treas
ury, secretary of war, encouragement
al, postmaster-general, secretary of
the navy, secretary of the interior.
In case the duties of the office de-
volve upon any member of the cabi-
net, he is to act as president until
the disability of the president or
vice-president is removed or presi-
dent shall be elected. The existing
law providing for a special election
is repealed. Hence, if a secretary
should be called upon to act
as president for the rest of the term
for which the president was elected,
unless he should sooner die, in which
case the duties of the office would
devolve upon the next one in the line
of succession. The second section
declares that the provisions of the
act shall apply only to cabinet offic-
ers who have been appointed with
the consent of the senate, who are
eonstitutlonally eligible to the office
of president, and who are not under
impeachment by the house at the
time the duties of the office devolve
upon them respectively. This law
will have as many advantages as the
existing one has defects. 1t is con.
stitutional. 1t will keep the admin.
istration in the hands of the party tt
which the people intrusted it. 1t Sc
cures a never falling line of success
sion. 1t avoids the evils of a specia
election. 1t guards the country
against grave emergency which has
been twice threatened in two success
i've administrations.
