THERE Is one practice in the senate,
and apparentlya growing one, which
needs to be checked. 1t is the habit
that certain senator's have of going out
on sllylarking expeditions at regular
intervals, and, when reported in the
newspapers, rising to personal eXpla-
nations and calling the reporters liars.
The big Nebraska Populist, Senator
Allen, is fair sample of this kind of
bluff. Recently, according to all re-
ports, he became ferociously intoXica-
ted, assaulted two subordinates and
had to be led Off by Il policeman; yet as
soon as the fumes of alcohol had de-
serted his brain, he had bobbed up to a
question Of privilege and wanted the
senate to know that his bestial display
of himself had been wholly in q mali
ciOus reporters eye. The average re-
porter can become habituated to u good
many things, when they are necessary
evils; but we can scarcely blame him
for wanting to draw the line at being
made the standing scapegoat of sena-
torial indiscretions.

The Presidant,s Letter.

The half-hearted Endorsements Of
President Cleveland's latest and most
extraordinary assumption of executive
prerogative which come from his reg
ular apologists serve to emphasize
rather than obscure the unprecedented
character Ofhis interference with the
constitutional prerogatiye Of co.or-
dinate branch of the general govern
ment. 1t will be admitted that he
can plead extraordinary provocation.
Seldom has an executive had larger
reason to distrust the fidelity Of his
partisan following or greater need to
try to rehabilitate it in the esteem of
the public. But not even this uncOm-
mon incentive can be accepted as iusti-
flying an innovation 50 daring and 50
likely to develop abuses as is the mail
ing by an American president, at a
time of grave legislative differences, of
private letters Of instruction to per-
sonal agents in congress, well know
ing that such communication would
receive, through assiduous circulation
among Democratic members, the
emphasis and force of an executive
command.
The constitution provides for the
transmission by the president of any
information or opinions calculated to
be of benefit to congress in its public
deliberations. 1t makes no provision
for the transmission by the president,
under the guise Of personal and con-
fidential missives, Of documents which
are in effect general orders from a par
tisan commander-in-chief to his staff
lieutenants. Mr.. Cleveland, we be-
lieve, is the first executive, at least
within recent years, who has discov.
cred no improperly in the open inter.
ference of the executive department Of
the government with the Legislative
department, not simply in the advis
Ory manner prescribed by the constitu,
ton, but in the extraordinary func.
tlon Of party autOcrat, who alterna'
lively administers praise and censurt
to representatives and senators, as il
they were school children and he theil
pedagogue. Had he searched through
the catalogue of possible executive mis-
takes, he would not have found an
other better fitted to make him per.
sonally unpopular and more surely
calculated to defeat the purposes which
he had in view.
As simple proposition of self re-
spect, not to go into any of the detailed
inconsistencies Of the presidents letter
no senator who has been conspicuous
in the fashioning of the senate tariff
bill can, in the face of the executives
innuendoes and aspersions, afford here
after to deviate one iota from his prior
position. The fight will sharpen anC
intensity; the battle lines gain in ten
sion and distinctness, and neither fac.
ton of the divided Democracy dare of
fer flag Of truce lest it should be
twitted with having desired to com
promise party principles and bartel
away the redemption of solemnly giver
pledges. Mr.. Cleveland, intending
doubtless in sheer desperation at the
immobility Of his wrangling partisan,
to force an issue, has achieved another
of his monumental blunders, which
will, in all probability, have far reach

of some corollary problems which the

We shall have eventually to insist, if
maiorfties are to rule, that they shall
rule honestly, rule inteligently and

WE LEARN from the Norristown
Herald that the trial in that city of the
safety fender on street cars has not re-
suited satisfactorily. The kind of
fender tested in Norristown is de-
scrihed as "the only life guard that,
having been put to the practical test
OF catching up human beings, has done
SO, and in every case without recelv-
ing The slightest injury" The tests
made were very satisfactory, 50 far as
catching up human beings' was con-
cerned, the car being propelled ut q
very moderate speed, but it was at the
same time demonstrated that the in
creased length given the car was II dis
advantage, especially in turning cor
ncrs going from one street to an
other. The "safety fender" at this
point, projects far beyond the track,
and even under the manipulation Of
the expert mOtOrman is likely to come
IN contact with any vehicle that may
be passing. On the whole, according
to the Herald, it was considered un-
safe to continue the use of "the only
life guard" etc, and it was accord
ingly discarded, in favor of "sober
motormen who understand their bust
ness" That the latter recourse has
not been an unsatisfactory one may be
inferred from the fact that during the
one year the Norrstown trolley cars
have been operated not a person,
young or old, has been killed or
manned, and the cars are run at
greater speed than in the business
thoroughtares Of Philadelphia. If
Sclanton is TO have tenders, it must
have good ones or none at all.

bismarck. Great Friend

The late Baron Bleichroeder. who
was the acknowledged chief of the
Prussian banking world, was one of
the most remarkable of German mil
honaires. He began life as the owner
OF small brokerage establishment.
One secret of his success was his genius
for using political events to promote
ms ends He was the banker of Ger
man unity. London paper remarks
that Prince Bismarck used him not
only as political adviser and financier
but in much the same miscellaneous
and semi-confidential and semi-con-
temptuous way that the princess and
mobiles of Germany had been in the
habit OF employing toward their court
Jews for centuries. Bleichroeder was
ms anne damnee, his devoted and tactfnl
instrument in many a diplomatic en-
terprise, his trustful and sober adviser
IN scores of difficult crises. That his
role was far from being limited to
questions of finance has long been nm
derstood, and more than once glimpse
has been afforded the outside public of
the wide ramifieations of his political
activity
