THAT CITY HALL.

The erection of II suitable building
officials, has been under discussion for
''lo, these many years. Plans have
been made, the site located, and speci-
lications drawn, many times, and yet
Lexington, comparatively speaking,
city council. We respectfully call the
attention of the council and citizens to
this fact, offering merely as Il sugges-
ton hat work along the line of the
erection of such an institution be COM
menccd in earnest. No will doubt
the prOpriety of building n city hall,
nor the absolute necessity for it. Aside
from this other advantages would
accrue from it.
II would furnish work for the unem-
ployed of Lexington; Il large number
of whom are living upon the charity of
II citizens. The problem of those
unemployed could find no better solu-
ton, and from this standpoint alone it
would be a wise movement. Again it
would be an ornament to the city,
thing we could show our visitors; a
sample of Lexington enterprise. To
induce out of town investments, Lex
ington needs some radical improve
mcnts. While our colleges are great
institutions and our mines are Jewels,
W can not depend upon them solely
to draw out of town people here TO live.
We must be awake to our city's in
terest. This city must be w~ide-awake
and progressive. Not for a moment
would we depreciate the many advan-
tages of Lexington, but we simply call
attention to our resources that are not
utilized. Give us the improvements
that we should have; that we are able
to have, and the next time Uncle Sam
sends around his census agent, he will
report Lexington's population largely
increased.

The republican papers which are
now bowling loudest about hard times
would not admit that times are hard if
we had a republican administration.
The fact Is, times are hard, and are so
as the result of republican extrava-

stay hard until the country feels the
effect of some good laws which are yet
TO be passed.

Secretary Carlisle has forwarded O
letter to Senator Voorhees,, stating
that the treasury is in need of imme-
date relief. He estimates that the
total deficiency at the end of the pres
ent fiscal year will be S7S, 167, 542.
This is a glowing monument of repub-
llcan legislation, yet the democratic
party should endeavor to find some
other relief than that of issuing bonds;
a return to bi-metallism for instance.

CONFIRMATION BY THE SENATE.

CONFIRMATION BY THE SENATE.
The senate's refusal to confirm the
appointment Of Hornblower has caused
some adverse criticism from the sad
ministration press" a number of which
term it the chang up" policy. In their
comments many editors resort to abuse
of the senators.
As to their action in the Hornblower
case, we have as yet found little to
criticise. At the time, his appointment
was conceded to be q poor one. As a
lawyer, he was not possessed of that
marked ability that makes men great.
His democracy was question, and his
relations with Wall street brokers did
not especially recommend him as a fit
subject for so high an honor. But be
that as it may, the senate has refused
to acquiesce in his appointment, and
some of our exchanges would lead us
to believe that they have usurped
authority vested alone in the president.
The constitution of the United States
makes it their duty to act on all APP
pointments made by the chief execu-
tive. 1t is not q matter of vOlition on
their part, but it is their duty, a duty
vested in them by our forefathers, and
one which they cannot disregard.
Any one can see plainly why there
should be such a thing as confirmation
by the senators.
No man is free from error, and TAX
ing into consideration the great number
of appointments made by the president,
we are forced to the conclusion that he
would be super-human did he not make
some poor selections. AS to whom he
will appoint is most generally a matter
of secrecy. Our first information, as a
rule, is that Mr.. So-and-So has been ap-
pointed. The president can not have
Il personal acquaintance with all of his
appointees, and oft times there may be
serious objections to them that do not
come to his ears. Especially is this
likely to be the case with the present
chief magistrate, as his policy is to
totally disregard the recommendations
of senators and congressman, who are
far more able to judge both of the
qualifications of the appointee and the
wishes of their constituents. Thus it
will be seen that confirmation by the
senate is n of those great safeguards
of honest and wise legislation, particu-
larly characteristic of republican form
of government. The senate figarative-
ly speaking is an appellate court in
which the appointment may be affirm
ed or Iremanded, and it is as much the
duty of the senator's to reject bad APP
pointments rs 1t Is the president to
make good ones. OF course they should
rise above personal grievances in CON-
ing to their decision, but this will
equally apply to the president, whose
actions in this line have been the sub
ject of just criticism.
In the Hornblower case we are con-
strained TO think that the senate did its
duty. And reviewing some others
that have been made by the president,
we are forced to the conclusion that
they have, on several occasions, neglect
