Mr.. EDMUNDs opened the ball IN the
Senate on Tuesday, censuring the
President for his refusal to furnish that
body with reasons for official removals
We are free to confess that we cannot
see any good to come to the Republi-
can party out of Of this fight, but think
we see one tendency Of it to consolidate
the Democrats on the Presidents side.
Wouldn't it have been better policy to
confirm his nominations and let the
Democrats have a free fight among
themselves over Mr.. Cleveland spolicy ?
1t strikes us so.

CHAPLAIN MCCABE, hewed to the
.mHIon line" for missions during the
session of the conference just closed at
Elkton, and as usual made the chips
fly in every direction. If there is a
better platform talker in this country
on that subject, we have yet to hear
him. No one can fail to be impressed
by his earnest eloquence. Ever when
filling your ears with those startling
figures, illustrating the university of
the heather, and the paucity of the
dollars necessary to secure their saliva
ton, what would impress you as exag-
gerations in less gifted speakers, you
are forced to accept in the best faith
coming from him. He is a natural
orator. A quick, sharp man of exper
fence in the ways of men. He has
been away from home. He knows
Just how TO take men at their weak
points. a man of ready resources. A

to furnish information concerning re-
movals WAS inaugurated by Mr.. Edmunds
! at ? O'Clock TUESDAY. Long before that
| hour every seat i'll the galleries had been
taken. and all available standing room
| occupied.
| Mr. EdmundS, in his speech. took the.
ground that the President had not re-
moved United States Attorney Duskin

| him: that he was still the attorney OF the
United States for Alabama, and stood i'll
the attitude of a military officer under
arrest, Just Is the President might put

OF the President. therefore. WAS not an
attempt to remove Mr. DuSkin. but to
withhold from him the right to perform
| the functions OF the office until the iudg-
mcnt of the Senate could be taken in rr-
spect of his removal and the appoint
ment of a successor. The President
| took pains, as he should. in his order
of suspension and i'll his order OF dtSig-
nation to state that both were subject To
all the laws applicable thereto" and
sections of the Revised Statutes forming
part of the law of 1867 and 1869 declared
in explicit terms that this man should
not be removed except 10y the advice
and consent of the Senate. When the
nomination of Burnett came 10 the Sen
ate, therefore Duskin was the attorney
of the United States for Alabama. and
the proposition was that he should be re-
moved by the appointment of the gem

should meet the approval OF the Senate
| Therefore. said Senate, if it were even a
jury and had to submit To the judgment
OF the President as a Judge as to what
evidence should be laid before il con
neCted with the case and its relevancy, il
would have been relevant ON the very
issue submitted by the Judge to the jury
To know what was the conduct and man
agenent of that office in the hands OF
that person whom the President asked
the Senate 10 assist him in displacing by
the new appointment. That question
had arisen betoic-not between the
President and Senate, but i'll the Cabinet

Mr.. Edmunds here had the clerk read
opinions by Attorney General Akerman
| i'll IS7ol and pcvens in 1870, holding
that an office was not in allegiance when
the incumbent is only suspended.
Mr. Edmunds held that the power OF
Congress was infinitely broader than
that of the President, that it had a right
TO demand information from him, and
that he violated the constitution in re-
fusing to give ii. Although the disburse-
ment of the Secret Service fund was
considered free from question ordinarily
Mr.. Edmunds declared that Congress
had the right to investigate it whenever
ii pleased. The minority report said that
prior to 1867 no successful demand had
been made on the President for papers
i'll similar cases. but Mr. I.dmunds
pointed out that until 1867 there WIS no

bred furniture workers of Evansville,
employed by the Armstrong Furniture
Company, walked out at noon TO- lay on
account of the company, refusing to dis

pie of the Cook Brewing Company, which
yesterday reduced the hours of labor to
ten. The Stcimetz Company will follow
suit tomorrow.
A general strike of furniture workers

noon, asking an advance of five cents
per thousand ems. Up to late hour the
advance had not been granted.
The Central Labor Union, comprising
all the trades unions i'll Evansville, petit
toned the City Council last night, that,
as the condition of affairs at home was OF
distressing nature, the time had come
to give relief y shortening of the hours
of labor would be step in the right di-

ell to enact an ordinance governing this
matter, wages to remain unchanged. The
proposed ordinance provides that eight
hours shall constitute days work

1t has been shown that the
strength of the lion in the fore limbs
is only 500 per cent of that of the
tiger, and the strength Of his hind
limbs only $50 per cent. Five men
can easily hold down a lion, but
nine men are required to control a
tiger.
Sand is not a substitute for
gravel in the poultry yard. The
hens usually pick up the sharpest
and most irregular pieces. When
oyster shells are provided they should
be broken into pieces the size of
grains of corn, and not ground to a
fine powder.
A contemporary saysto cure dogs
ofkilling chickens take chicken that
has been killed, and after beating
the dog over the head with it, pass
the legs around the dogs neck and
tie the feet together. After carry
ing the chicken around for a day or
two, the dog will become so thor
ougbly disguised that he. will not
