THREE Republican Candidates for
President-namely, Edmunds, Evarts
and Logan-emulate each other in the
Senatorial movement against the Con
stitutional power of the Executive to
make removals from office. For the
present Edmunds has slightly the start,
but it will go hard if his rivals do not
get ahead of him before the hunt is
over, This eombination recalls to mind
the great .riumvlrate of Webster, CLAY,
and Calhoun against the executive pow.
er of President Andrew Jackson. The
members of the old Crinmvirate were
rival candidates for the Presidency, but
they temporarily dropped their jealous
les in d mutual dread of Jackson s pop
ularity. The result of their warfare
upon President Jackson is known to
history. The warmest admirers of the
three Senators who have opened a new
campaign against the Constitutional
power OF the executive will hardly ven
tuTe to compare them in ability. elo-
quence aud popularity with the three
Senators who were crushed in the con-
hict with Jackson. President Cleve-
land is not Jackson, but he possesses
frmness and courage, and he has like
Jackson, the Constitution on his side.
The ground of the present Senatorial
assault on the Constitutional power of
of the Executive is somewhat shifted.
but the issue is essentially the same as
| that which was determined against the
Senate more than fifty years agO.-Ppil

Where there was such complete unanim-
ity OF opinion on the subject it is hard
TO understand why three weeks time

The spot on the battlefield of Gettys-
burg where General Hancock was
wounded is marked by wooden post.
1t is proposed to place there an imposing
granite bowlder, on which shall be in
scIibed the simple fact that there, on
the Sd day OF July, 1863, General w. S.
Hancock was wounded. AS this wound
was received by a PENNSYLVANIA soldier,
In command that day of three army
corps, while in the act of repelling the
final charge Of the Confederate army,
and as that repulse saved PENNSYLVANIA
from invasion and Philadelphia from
possible occupation by an enemy, it is
deemed fitting that this work should be
done by Pennsylvanians, and especially
by Philsdelphians. The anticipated
cost is but $500, and it is proposed tc
raise the amount by 100 subscriptions al
s. each.

GEORGE F. RDMUNDs delivered a
speech in the United States Senate a
few years ago, when a Republican Pres
ident occupied the White House, in

sibility to the people and to God, chooses
to send in one mans name for a place
that another holds" Sound ss this
doctrine was then aud still is, it quits
Mr.. Edmunds' crooked political purpo-
ses to stand up now in the Senate, a
Democratic President being in power,
and tell the country that If Mr.. Cleve-
land, "acting on a conscientious sense
Of his responsibility to the people, " sus.
pends public officer, the Republican
majority in the Senate will refuse to
confirm lis successor unless the Presi-
dent VIII furnish the Senate with the
papers on which the suspension was
made. This is claim of power by the
Senate over removals from office by the
President which has never heretofore
been recognized, and Mr.. Cleveland in

THREE investigations ara now in pro |

nv the Philadelphia Record regarding
the management Of the Soldiers Or
phans' Schools. Ex-State Senator Geo.
W. Wright, who is deeply implicated in
the charges affecting four of the schools.
is out in California on q tour OF pleas

Of the Republican State Committee, and
a few other kindred spirits. When last
heard from Wright who had heard
through the newspapers of the unpleas-
antness, was preparing to leave for
Mercer county and is, perhaps, now
standing on his native heath. Governor
Pattison, accompanied by Attorney
General Cassidy, spent two days last
week and Monday and Tuesday of this
week in making pretty thorough per-
! sonal examination into the condition Of
/ the school at Mount JOY, in Lancaster
county. and it can be stated in ageneral
| way from what they saw and from the
statements of the children in the school,
that the story as told in the Record was
neither extenuated nor was aught set
down in malice, so far as that institu-
I tion is concerned. The Governor and
Attorney General will extend their ex-
animation to the remaining schools
DR.. Higbee, who is superintendent OF
the schools as well as the common
schools, has also been doing some inves
tigating at the Uniontown and Mercer
schools. and has addressed a lengthy
letter to the Governor which amounts
to general defense of the management
of the schools. He is very clear, how
ever, in his belief that Wright's shame.

NEVER before in the history of this
country were strikes so numerous and
widespread as they are to-day. They
manifest themselves daily at points re-
mote from each other and without apy
apparent concert of action. and embrace
so many different kinds of labor that it
may almost literally be said that the
Workingmen Of the whole country are
on strike. On the railroads in the
southwest operated by Jay Gould s. 900
men are on a strike; in New York A.
OOO carpenters and joiners in Cumber-
land (Md.) coal field 5000 miners, and
here, there and elsewhere thousands of
other men OF various employments have
quit work and are waiting for a solution
OF their demand for an advance in wa
ges or for reduction in the hours of
work. Is there any remedy fol ibis un-

tion. The matter is a puzzle to Mr..
Powderly himself, a level. headed. sensi-
bic man, who holds the highest position
In the organization of the Knights of
Labor. That many of the strikes are
ih-tImed and without any adequate
cause he distinctly asserts by saying !:
III many OF the men who are striking
would display a little more common
sense and use little more patience.
they would get all they are striking for
ana save their time and money in the
bargain. " The labor question is a deep
and difficult one and vast deal of hu.
