Quite a rustic little scene was wit
messed last Sunday morning, at the
Boiling Springs" by few young
persons, not too dignified to laugh at
a scene so novel, and so laughable as
this. The morning was being spent
in conversation suitable for the occa-
sion; all at once the gallant young
man thought he must have drink
of the sparkling water, and suppose
his thoughts were absorbed in mat
tiers unknown to those around, and
he let his handkerchief fall; that was
rescued among some other articles ;
next was parasol, next a beaver
hat, lastly himself; then an exclama-
ton fell from his lips, it was this
Lord have mercy on poor me and save
my hat-then dash, crash and a
splash, which set the party in nice
little laugh and all was over. He
came out holding hat and parasol in
either hand, and looked like forlorn
drummer, who had lost his footing
and had fallen in spring. The sight
was pitiful-looking, (but more laugh
able,) and sight which amazed all
beholders.

We print in this issue a series of
resolutions passed by a number of
Union Soldiers and members of the
Knights of Labor. The proposition
to unite the soldier who helped to
save the country, and the working
man who built up its material well
fare, is to say the least, worthy the
consideration of thoughtful men. 1t
may not be amiss to say to the pro-
fessional politician that the soldier
and workingman are awaking to the
interest OF the government and in
the near future will be an element
that must be recognized, especially
when it is considered that the pres
ent administration is waging a war
fare on the old soldier through the
veto power aud on the workingman
through free-trade.

MR., CLEVELAND TO THE SENATE.

Mr.. Edmunds takes great pains on al
occasions to keep himself before the PEG
pie as the leader of the republican party
in the senate. This, of course, is in the
line of his opposition as coming candi
date of the republican party for the pres
idency, against Sherman, Logan and
Blaine.
II will be seen that as soon as Mr.
Cleveland's message was read to the SEN
ate in defence of the control of the presi-
dent over the action of member of his
cabinet, and published in our Washington
dispatches this morning Mr.. Edmunds
rose Immediately in his place in the SEN
ate, and attempted to create the belief
on the part of the country, that Mr. Cleve-
land was Offering to interfere with the
prerogatives of the senate in the course
of its regular business. Mr.. Cleveland's
letter, or message to the senate, is n frank
and manly statement of his rights rs the
chief executive o. this nation, and a firm
protest against that body IN attempting
to control member of his political
household. He holds that the papers in
the department have nothing of the ma
ture of official documents that would make
their examination by the senate consti-
tutional duty under any statute of the
country, but that they are in fact in the
nature of personal Investigations by the
president, held by an officer of his APP
pointment, upon whom the senate cannot
hold any control. These papers
sought by the senate, are not of
nature upon and by which
the senate would have any right
whatever, to review or reverse the acts of
the executive, except, as Mr.. Cleveland
declares, by judicial process, or by i'm
parchment.
The senate has nothing to do with Mr.
Cleveland's cabinet, or political house
hold. 1t is their duty to obtain informa-
uon upon which they can base advice to
the president, as to his appointments to
office, or discharge from Office of incum
bents, and all the information belongs to
the president, held by his cabinet officers, to
guide him in his action. He, as the pres
ident of the United States, has right.
and must act upon conscientious dis
charge of his duty, and the senate has
no right to inquire into his conscience.
or any of the reasons operating on his
