The constitution provides that Congress
shall assemble at least once in every year,
and such meeting shall be on the first Mon
day Of December, unless by law they shall
appoint different day" After trying yari-
Gus other dates the first Monday in Deem
Der was settled upon early in the history of
the government, and has ever since been
maintained. 1t was as good as any date that
could be selected at that time. But changes
have been brought about since then. Now
the more general observance of the holi-
day season combined with the present
facilities for travel makes the early part of
every session begun the first of December al
most worthless. The real work of the win
ter never begins until after the members
have returned from their holiday festivities
and become again fairly settled down. 1t is
for this reason chiefly that Senator Hoars
bill providing for change in the meeting
time of Congress from December to October
in the odd years, and to November in the
even years, embodies an excellent sugges-
ton. 1t has been reported fayorably from
the committee on Privileges and Elections,
and will without doubt pass. 1t will have
the tendency to get more work into less
time. Senator Hoar is himself hard work

ciates hard workers as we'll

THE PRESIDENT AND THE SENATE

THE PRESIDENT AND THE SENATE
One of the clearest expositions of the
right Of the Senate for all information rela-
tive to removals and appointments to office
contained ON the files of the departments
was given in a brief speech which Senator
Sherman made in the Senate on Monday.
Mr. Sherman pointed out that there was a
wide distinction between asking the Presi
dent to give the reasons for his action and
calling for whatever information on the sub
iect existed in any OF the departments. The
former he denied the right of the Senate to
do, but he contended that to do the lat
ter was clearly within its province. No dis
tinction such as it had been attempted to set
up, between executive information and legls-
lative information, existed. The Senate, IN
calling for information, was not seeking to
control the discretion of the President; 1t
was simply asking it in order to enllghten It's
own. If the information was Of confiden-
tlal character it might be true that the Sen
ate ought not to ask for it, but such informa-
ton as that should not be placed on the
files of the department, and it was for infor-
nation contained therein that the Senate
ileed GdilCu lOI.
MI Sherman pointed out that never in the
history Of the government had such informa-
ton been refused before When he was Sec
rotary OF the Treasury papers relating to re-
movals from office had been called for by the
Senate, and always freely furnished. He
had appeared before Democratic commit
mittee and not only furnished all the paners
in the case undergoing investigation but an
swered as to the why's and wherefores of
his action. In concluding his address Mr..
Sherman warned the Democrats that they
were making false issue that viii return to
plague the inventor. Il would not" he
said, recognize that any paper in any de-
partment of the government is beyond the
reach of this body or the House, but main
tain and uphold to the utmost the power of
the Senate TO call for any papers or any in
formation, stopping only a the bounds of
courtesy which the law of gentlemen i'm
poses upon them not to press an inquiry
where it may impair the dignity and honor
of another branch of the government; but
short of that, and only short of that, the
Senate is entitled to all the information con-
tanned in those papers.

1t would be difficult to conceive of more
inefficient body than ft1rrtirIrr I1u-
lice proved themselves to be during the re-
cent riots They were either afraid Of hurt
ing somebody or of getting hurt perhaps
both, and therefore let themob work its own
will without let or hindranee. 1t is fortu-
nate the rioters were not bloodthirsty set,
else there would have been much destruc-
ton of life as well as ruin to property.
Mobs are much more effectively handled in
this country.

The Seattle affair is probably settled for
the present at least. The presence of United

leaders of the mob will ever be punished.
The Rock Springs rioters, whose crimes
were more heinous than the Seattle mob's,
all escaped, because the public sympathized
with the object of their action, if not with
its method. The same .will probably be the
case at Seattle.

THE STRIKING CIGAR-MAKERs.
NJ V C+or

The saddest phase of labor strike in a
great city is the suffering it entails ON the
poorer class of workers who do not happen
to belong to a union. The condition of the
tenement house cigar-makers, about 5000 of
lockout, is most deplorable. In many of
these wretched homes, whose tenants at best
are poorly lodged and fed, the outlook is that
of absolute starvation, unless relief is af-
forded speedily. Their wages are SO small
that even in the busiest seasons the tene-
ment workers are unable to save. They are
now without either money or food, and in
many cases are threatened with eviction for
non payment of rent. Till now the Interna-
tional Union has helped some of the most
urgent cases, bnt the union has now enough
to do to keep its own members in food and
clothing The drain on their surplus fund
has been a heavy one-$10, 900 per week-and
unless the strike is ended shortly, even the
union men will suffer many hardships

TIMELY ADVICE.
Aroostook Pioneer.

One of the recommendations made by the
professor of agriculture at Orono, in his an
nual report was that more attention be given
to horticulture. The advice is timely, as few
things can be of more value to Maine than
good gardens. Want of nearness to a mar
ket has in times past deferred many farmers
from spending much time or money on early
vegetables, but this drawback to Maine
farming is rapidly vanishing. Better facili-
ties for transportation, steadily increasing
population, and the increasing wealth of the
State which enables every citizen to live bet
ter than did his forefatherS, all aid the mar
creasing numbers of summer tourists who
each season come earlier and stay later
brings market to nearly every village or
country town in the State.
MIR, REED ON THE REMOVAL CONTROVERSY
Washington Corr. Philadelphia Press
In conversation with Representative
Reed, of Maine, that usually clear-headed
man said he occupied position of delightful
neutrality in the matter, but for all that he
held that the President and Senate together
were constitutionally the appointing power.
The appointment was incomplete without
functions of our government, and how they
were to be entirely divorced, as the President
now proposed, and still continue to act in
unison, was question which he had not yet
solved. He thought the course for the Sen
ate was clear The intention is to take up a
number of sample cases and force a direct is
sue on them These cases will be anything
but creditable to a reform administration
and will result in disclosures alike embar-
RAISING to the President and some of the
senators nearest to him.
