Tho position which has been taken and
steadily maintained by the United states SEN
ate in favor OF secret executive sessions has
always been condemned ty the sentiment Of
the people finding utteranco through the
columns Of the daily press. So far. however.
this sentiment has produced no impression.
although it has been impossible TO preserve
the secrecy OF tie proceedings Of tie execu-
tive sessions invIOiate. By some means which
has only been suspected their tenor has
gotten out. leaving the Senate in the attitude
of endeavoring TO throw a cloak of complete
darkness over Their discussions behind closed
doors with the only result Of having these dis
cussions reported in substance in the news
paperson the succeeding morning.
The Indignation that has been expressed by
members of the body on account of the pub
LEFTY given surrepttiously to its proceedings
when it was specially desired that these pro-
ceedings should be kept from the public. will
be recalled by all who have followed the
history of the Senate in the course of the last
few years Senators herman, IIoar and Frye
have been most conspicuous ia their denunci-
outrageous violation of the privacy of the
executive sessions. AID on one occasion they
led in the effort TO exclude permanently from
the reporters gallery tie correspondent Of a
leading paper which had always been partic-
ulariy sklifu in getting a full account of the
proceedings of their sessions.
Ii was soon recognized that nothing was TO
be gained by this line of action as the execu-
tive proceedings transpired through senator
who were opposed on principle to the secrecy
which It was sought 10 enforce Still the
evidence was not sufficiently strong O. fix so
grave @ charge upon any one OF more sena-
tor, and, In consequence. the senators who
have been boiling over with anger have cen
compelled 90 restrain themselves until re
Gently Their wrath seems 10 have returned
with redoubled yrulence. and with degree
of folly that is ~ ridiculous rs il is unjust
they have seized upon the executive clerk Of
the Senate and summarily removed him from
has Office. which hs has occupied with the
most marked efficiency for q great number of
years.
Mr.. Young is offering an earnest protest as
- his innocence ana there appears O. be no
ground whatever not scintiila Of evidence
indeed that he is guilty Of the charge that is
so intemperately brought against him. Many
senators have expressed themselves with the
warmes. opposition t. the conduct Of the ma
iority Of their associates as not only involving
gross injustice to a faithful officer. out also as
calculated 20 bring the grayest discredit upon
the reputation OF the Senate.
This conduct is really the legitimate out
growth Of that un-American spirit which il
exhibited by the Senate in insisting upon
secret sessions. a custom which is antagonistIc
TO the principle that our public men are the
servants Of the people aud that the people
have the right to know everything that takes
place in the highest legislative assembly Of
the republic.
