FADE PLAIN ENOUGH.
|ANNER OF ORGANIZATION OF THE
 UNITED STATES SENATE.

Eembership Divided Into Three Glasses. Xvacancies In Committees Repub-
 lcan Being the Dominant Party Must
 Assume the Responsibility.
 # The exact character of what is known
 the organization of the United tates senate is not generally under bod, and ill view of the close division
 parties i'll that body at this time an kpanation of the organization will be
 interest. The common understanding
 that, being a continuous body, the enate is always fully organized and repared to transact any business that hay be brought before it. This is true Enly to limited degree. The senate is Hupplied with q code of rules, a presid Ing officer, clothed with full authority act, and with secretary, sergeant t-arms and full force of clerical and ther officials necessary to its orderly assembly and conduct, but at the begin ping of every new congress, so far as the #erformance of any important legisla- Fiye act is concerned, the senate is al most as nnprepared for business as is Fhe house of representatives prior to the eection of speaker and other officers
 The membership of the senate is di- EHded into three classes, one of which enters with every congress. The class (Which enters with the Fifty fourth con- gress consists of 30, to all of whom the oath of office must be administered by the presiding officer before they can be- come fully qualified to perform any off cal act. At the present time, therefore, the legal membership of the senate is Limited to 58, and its first act will of necessity be the immediate induction of 'ne 50 senators elect, or as many of them as present. themselves. Of these senators tiect 3 are men who were not members ol the preceding senate. Politically they stand l9 Republicans, including Du Pont M Delaware; 9 Democrats and Popu
 lists.
 Under the rules business must be con auered and reported by committee of 'ne body before 1t can be acted upon by lae senate. Notwithstanding the fact mat II of the senators elect were mem 0efs or the preceding senate, their for uer official relations with that body are S completely cut off as though they had ueSer existed. According to custom, uey have been considered as continuing sembers, have been carried on the list VI Committees, accorded all the privi- 7ses and awarded all the "courtesies ua' attach to a full fiedged senator. 'st the OK officio senators among the seilators elect must enter by the same s0or and go through the same forms to g0ufe admission and rehabilitation as uslf newly chosen associates and will ,s ssalla before the bar of the senate upon s'e same footing as the latter
 As the IT OK officio senators can have v olnclal connection with the senate al0f to formal induction. it follows zaas aas Illey how have no legal connection 7sth ats committees As the senate now
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1895-11-22

stands many of the committees are merely skeletons, some of them not hay ing sufficient membership to constitute a quorum. The vacancies can be filled only after the newly elected members are duly admitted to the senate. No one would even suggest that legislative busi- ness should be proceeded with until the committees are reorganized. True it is that prior to the organization, business this has been done by unanimous con- sent and has never involved any con tested questions.
 It therefore follows that at the very outset the senate will be confronted with the question of organization, and that the two great parties will have to determine upon the construction of the committees before legislation can be proceeded with. The construction of the committees is not merely perfunctory act, limited to the assignment of the new senators. That work is of the high est personal importance to all the sena- tors and IS of great concern to the peo- pie, for tho reason that tho character of legislation is determined by these sub ordinate bodies.
 In the preceding congress the more important of the senate committees were dominated by the Democrats and for the simple reason that their party was in majority. The numerical strength of that party in the approaching congress will be less than that of the Republic ans, and the latter do not number ma jority of the senate. There has been considerable talk about permitting the present organization to continue, but that is impracticable except so far as the organization affects the officers of the senate
 The organization of the committees is vastly more important than the selee- tion of officers, and, being essential to legislation, cannot be long postponed. Reorganization being imperative and the Republican being the dominant par ty, although lacking three of majori- ty, the Republicans will be impelled to meet this question and to insist that they shall be recognized as the doml- nant party and given control of the lead ing committees, notwithstanding the fact that they are few units below the number that constitutes quorum. It Is perhaps true that the Republicans, not controlling majority, would prefer not to assume the responsibility for leg islation, but they cannot evade or shrink from it.
 They will have 42 senators, exelud- ing Du Pont of Delaware, and upon the admission of Utah in January will gain two more, giving them A of S9 members who will then constitute the senate, as sumimg the Du Pont case is undetermin- ed. The Democrats have been cut down to 3S and cannot be expected to continue in domination. It therefore follows that whatever arrangement is made, whether it be between the Republicans and the Democrats or the Republicans and Pop ulists, the Republicans will be obliged to insist that their superior numbers shall be recognized, and the leading committees be placed in their charge. n J.

ing but few gestures. His voice was low. but clear, except at the end of the evening, when it became trifie husky. Mr. Caine read his address. He said in part:
 "There are writers who tell us that such light forms of literature as the novel and the drama ought to have no moral responsibility whatever. These writers are of two classes. First, there are those who think of novel as John son defined it in his dictoinary, A smooth tale, generally of love. The second class are those who think too meanly of all forms of imaginative writing to allow either novel or drama a place among the works that have any thing to do with serious thought or the real facts of life. But there are other writers who are so far from wanting the novel and drama to be sugar candy kind of literature that they are forever

FICTION AND MORALS.
HALL CANE POINTS THE MORAL WAY
 IN THE NOVEL.

4 Plea For the "Moral Nude In Fiction"
 Hugo, Tolstoi and Scott the Greatest Nov
 elists of This Century-The Writers Aim
 the Great Test.
 Before the Nineteenth Century club, ill New York, the other evening, Hall Caine, the novelist, delivered literary sermon. His subject was Moral Re sponsibility In the Novel and the Drama" and his treatment of it was plea for liberty of conscience in fiction.
 The audience saw before them man apparently about 40 years old, of medium height, rather slender and with some thing of stoop in the shoulders that suggested years of sedentary occupation. The tawny hair and beard were the first things noticed about the face; then the tremendous domelike forehead asserted it's confluence. So broad is the novel ist's forehead that the whole face seems to slope away from it sharply. The eyes are we'll set and expressive, and the face, as whole, one of extreme sensitiveness and nervous power. This impression of nervousness is borne out by the hands, which are long, fine and instinct with constant expressi veness, although mak-
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1895-11-22

asking the remorseless German ques- tion, TO what end?' Then there are those who say the duty of story teller is to tell stories, not to preach sermons. The novel should be no more moral than story in The Arabian Nights. Art and morality have nothing to do with each other. When the novelist or dram atist presents his characters, he should stand aside from them; he should disap- pear; he should annihilate himself. This is the attitude of many of the French authors at the present moment
 ''The general practice of nearly all the great masters is against this view Against the array of genius on the side of conscious moral intention we can mention two names only. but perhaps they are the greatest names ill literature Shakespeare and Scott. Taine calls them the great impartial artists, , meaning that they are the two great speakers who were unconscious of an aim i'll speaking. And seeing this, that our highest literary man of the sixteenth century, as we'll as our highest literary man of the nineteenth century, who both immeasurably beyond all others commanded the world g ear, had either nothing to say or preferred to be unin- cumbered by an ulterior aim, the greater part of writers and readers have con- cluded that in novel or drama it is best to say nothing. Carlyle does not take this view. The John Knox in Car lyle sees only the Rob Roy in Scott, and Scott descends as a consequence from the rank of a great man.
 But there is a greater thing in s novel or drama than subject, or scene, or character, and that is motive. It is here that the master shows his highest mastery. Motive is to the novel or drama what the text is to the sermon. When l speak of motive, 1 do not mean moral purpose Motive is the silver thread that holds i'll line the beads of art Modern novelists and dramatists seem to find it hard to combine unity of purpose with freedom of invention. The author of 'Notre Dame shows masterly over motive, and so does the author of Anna Karanina. These two and these alone seem to me to realize George Eliot's ideal of the intensest realism of presentation with the highest idealism of conception, and by virtue of this mas tery, and not because of any special su periority in delineating character or de- picting scene, I claim for Victor Hugo and Count Tolstoi that, with Walter Scott, they will in the time to come be recognized as the three greatest novel, ists of the nineteenth century.
 fI count him the greatest genius who touches the magnetic and divine chord in humanity which is always waiting to vibrate to the sublime hope of recom- pense. I count him the greatest man who teaches men that the world is ruled in righteousness. "--New York Sun.
