OPEN THE DOORS.


 The nuch-talked-of contest between the President and the Senate is well under way. The resolutions of the Judiciary committee condemn the refusal of the attorney general to send copies of papers wanted by the Sen ate and say that it is under these circum- stances the duty of the Senate to refuse it's advice and consent to proposed removals of officers, the documents and papers in refer ence to the supposed official or personal mis- conduct of whom are withheld by the execu- tive or any head of department, when deemed necessary by the Senate and called for in considering the matter.
 This appears ts be temperate and defen- sible declaration. notwithstanding the out rageous character attributed to it by the dis gruntled Democrats. It is the Presidents prerogative to make suspensions ''in his dis cretion.' It is equally the prerogative of the Senate to confirm or refuse to confirm the appointments to the places made vacant. The President may withhold his reasons if he chooses; he cannot be compelled to disclose them, but neither can the Senate be con- pelled to confirm appointments, and if they are not confirmed the suspensions become null ana the acClOn or the 1reSlQenGS ap- peintees illegal. The President has promised to do the right thing in the matter of re- movals, and he ought to be willing to let the public know why he makes them. The pub lie wants to know.
 There ought to be reform in the whole method of dealing with appointments. The New York Herald puts the matter very forci ply when it says: The President, who boasts that he Gives behind glass doors," suddenly pulls down the curtains and shuts out the people when he is going to perform the sacred and mysterious rite of naming man to thousand dollar postoffice, and the Senators drive out the people and bolt their doors when they in turn begin the equally sacred rite of sitting on such a nomination, with their sacred Senatorial noses in their fingers; and all this mystery, all this impu- dent refusal to let the people know how their own business is done is because the Presi- dent has intrigued with some senators and representatives, and nearly often with Re publican as with Democratic senators and representatives, to appoint their workers, their machine managers, their friends and favorites, so that these may boss caucuses and secure renominations for their masters, very often contrary to the will and the in terests ot the people.

FIAT MONEY
An Interesting Hit of Rhode Island
 Colonial History.

[Erom the Providence Journal.
 It has appeared to us to be relevant to the
 currency issue which is now agitating this
 country to recur to the last important illus
 tration thereof as evidencing how logically
 and inevitably persistence in the fiat money principle leads to injustice, suffering, and the comparative ruin of the less wealthy portion of the community. The last issue of paper money by the State of Rhode Island, the memorable bank of 17S6, was made in that year. Note the reason given for the issue: "The currency of this State, now in circula- ton, is wholly insufficient in point of quan- tity for the purposes of trade and commerce. J That is what our silver coinage friends say in this year of grace 1886. A century of life and experience leaves or finds them in the same state of mind financially as our people were in 17S6. The amount issued was 91O0, 900 to be loaned by the bank at 4 per cent. interest for seven years, and then one-seventh payable annually, but no interest was to be paid after the expiration of the first seven years. The bills were legal tender and were to pass in all kinds of business, and in payments of former contracts at par with specie, pre- cisely as our silver dollars are now legal tender. The law provided for the rendering of the bills in court full payment if cred itor refused to receive them. This, it ap- pears, did not quite answer the purpose, for in a month another statute passed sub-
 iecting the creditor who should refuse to re- ceive such bills in payment to a fine of e1OO,
 and then it was provided by law that the creditor persisting in his refusal should be sent to prison, and from this judgment there was no appeal.
 The continuation of this effort to compel men to sell who did not wish to sell, and to
 make men who had lawful and just claims to
 receive their dues in depreciated currency,
 came with the famous case of Trevett against
 Weeden. Trevett bought of Weeden a piece
 of meat and rendered in payment therefor
 this paper money. Weeden refused to re-
 ceive it in payment. Complaint was made
 against Weeden, which went at last resort to
 be decided upon by the Superior court. The
 decision of the court was that it had no
 jurisdiction. But this by no means ended
 the matter. The General Assembly of the
 then Colony of Rhode Island possessed, par
 iamentarily speaking, omnipotent power. It
 was at once the highest legislative and judi
 eial tribunal Thus it summoned before 1t
 the judges who had rendered the decision
 of the aforesaid Ito assign the reasons and
 grounds of the aforesaid judgment" It was
 urged in behalf of the judges that the law
 was unconstitutional, and upon argument in
 full motion was made and seconded to dis
 miss the judges from their offices. There
 after upon further consideration and argu-

ment, the judges were discharged from any | further attendance upon the assembly upon | that account. In September, 17S9, the bills | of this remission having fallen very low. the l law making them legal tender re- by the General Assembly from time to time
 was, in part, as follows: July, 1786, less l than two months from the passage of the l law making bills equal to spacie, 6s in spe- cie eqaled in legal value 9s. in paper. In July, 1759, 6s. in specie equaled 90s. in bills
 The power of the colony could not by it's l thoroughly exercised sovereignty perma- l nently make black white, nor injustice jus | tice, even theoretically by statute or practi- | cally in the way of business. Now we say that in principle the issue of the silver dol 1 lar is the same as was the issue of the paper bills. The degree of follow and wrong is not the same because the silver dollar has some intrinsic value. But is cheat. In one as pect of it, it is worse than was the paper money of 1786, for the colony hoped and in- tended that it's issue should and would be worth to one and all the value it bore upon it's face, but the silver dollar is put forth as now only worth seventy add cents, with not the slightest likelihood that it will ever be worth more. It is an open and acknowledged swindle from the start.

Young Girls Artistic Taste.


 The art of decoration is being taught the young girls of the metropolis to a point that surpasses description. Work which was for merly done upon silks and velvets is now given to their apartments. There is great charm in what and the way in which women put things into their rooms. Anybody with money can buy rich furniture, but it takes ingenuity and good taste to make bed chamber look beautiful with little things that do not cost much. I had an illustration this morning. Mignon Conner, the daughter of Captain Conner, gave me peep into her cosy little apartment just to show what tasty girl can do with few pictures, several fans, some glass bottles, an occasional photo graph bit of lace, handkerchief and few other little trinkets that sort of drift into a woman's life as she is growing from girlhood towards womanhood. The single brass bedstead which stood in the corner has beautiful canopy of pink cretonns about 1t and over it on the wall the child's tennis bats hang. Against the door are two horse shoes interlaced, and the little girl said 'T am sure to-have good luck. You know the gypsies say if you turn your horseshoe down one way all the luck will run out, and we Americans have superstition that if you turn it the other way all the luck runs out, so have two to make sure that all the good fortune stays in." There was an air of con fusion about the decorations that amazed me, and yet as the little girl pointed to each article and recalled some bit of history con nected with it could see how thorough the order was and how we'll she knew the exact spot where each ornament belonged.
 "This room," said the child, "seems to ex- pand as keep adding and adding to the list of pretty things which all friends think too long already to get into a room twice this size. Look at that handkerchief over the picture there. That brought from Carls- bad. It belonged to one of the peasants of that famous watering place. It was the chief article of fnery she wore upon her wedding day, and I bought it of her at what the people there thought big price," Thus the young girl went on, telling of every lit tie thing about the place, and each had a history worthy of telling. "I am gathering these things piece by piece," she said, land am in hopes when am eighteen to have complete set of everything that is pretty with which to furnish large room" was struck with the charming self-possession of this young girl, yet away down in her teens, who, during the description of this beautiful apartment, made so by the deftness of her fingers and her ingenuity, found time to shoot some odd remarks in French at her maid, who was flying in and out of the apartment. What change has come over the form of training for girls.

The Old HOn1e @,

 I remember an old gray far mhouse, All messy, and stained with time; With film of old age upon it, While yet it stood in it's prime. A broad, low browed old homestead, Where clambering wild woodbine Hung out it's flames in the autumn, Like wreathS holy shrine. Great dropping elms swayed OCT it; And bloSSomlng Hlacs tall Thrust their purple plumes in the windows, With the bees they held in thrall All under it's roof so messy,
 And around it's hearth warm, It gathered it's happy children, In merry. busy swarm. With the beat of rain on it's shingles, It lulled them all to rest, When spring brought the muttering showers, Surging up from out the west. As hen soothes her sleepy chick ems, Beneath her wings widespread, So we heard the soft, sweet Wind-song, Of the old roof overhead. And now when fall a-dreaming, When it rains, and the wind is strong, I hear again the deep murmurs And beat of the old roofs song. And the years fall away and leave me, A sleepy child once more; Slow rocking on grand wind surges, Toward some dreamland shore. Now drifting among the tree-tops, Now floating OCT rivers deeD, Till I sink in that rushing, sweeping sea, Down to the land of sleep.
 Elizabeth Cole, in Good Housekeeping.
