The Snow Goddess.

The snow elves ran away last night
And Hurried through the sky,
And on the earth, come mornings light
All still and white they lie.
My Julia rises with the dawn
And peeps the curtains through,
The worlds the bosom of swan
Against "a lake of blue.
All wrapped in furs, and, oh, so fair.
Her red cheeks all aglow,
winter queen, | see her thereI
Tho goddess of the snowi
And as the elf fakes hurry by
They kiss her lips 50 rare,
And brush the lashes of her eve
And nestle in her hair.
See, now she fits across the fieldsi
Was feather eer so light?
Scarce to her touch the soft snow Yields
Her shoe is such mite
And where her foot has left trace
Upon the downy plain
A single snowflake fails apace
And fills it up again.

NN SP""' Du1 Ah4s Is 2 Government
by Parliament and Not by President.
Light Upon Grave Subject.
WAsmNGToN, Dec. 25.-rSpeciaL Aft
er tho holidays the senate will doubtless
spend some time in debating the grave con-
stiJutional question raised by Secretary Of
State Olney in his declaration that tho
president alone has power to recognize an
other governments independence aud that
this is a matter with which congress has
nothing to do. For week all the consti-
tutional lawyers in Washington, including
many who think they are constitutional
lawyers, but are not, have been investigat-
ing this question. Such an overhauling of
old books and supreme court decisions and
diplomatic presidents has not been seen in
this capital for many day. 1t Is under
STOOD that score Of senators are preparing
speeches on the subject.
An Important Question.
A great many public men say this ia a
problem which the country should work
out in one way or another. There should
be well settled policy as TO such matters.
and If there is not the day may come when
it viii DO u source Of weakness to this re-
public. The contention of Mr.. Olney is
that tho power to recognize the independ-
ence Of foreign state belongs solely to
the executive and that even il congress
passes law over the presidential veto ex-
tending recognition TO Cuba the executive
VIII be justified in ignoring it. On this
score number OF conservative men have
pointed out that If president may refuse
TO obey tho dictates Of congress upon the
plea that the scope OF the law inyades his
constitutional domain it VIII DO possible
for president 90 make himself virtually
dictator, for the power 20 Discriminate be-
tween those laws which he shall execute
and those which he will ignore amounts TO
sovereignty. While no one supposes a
president would care to go against public
opinion and the will of congress To a
marked extent, still it would DO only a
matter OF prudence to correct this apparent
weakness In the structure Of our govern
ment, for no one can tell what emergency
may arise In the future.
This question is SO important that /
sought light upon it from gentleman
who has made the constitution and the
practice OF the government a speciality, but
whose personal and official relations are
such that he does not care to have his name
published. His remarks to me are so in
teresting that venture to quote them.
As a Matter of Precedent.
Secretary Olncy Is right so far as the
precedents go, said this gentleman, "but
he is wrong In his construction of tho the
CRY of the constitution. What mean To

power, but has left it to the executive.

power, but has left it to the executive.
Precedents have grown up which give
color of exclusiveness to the exercise of the
power, and Mr.. Olney is certainly in
trenched behind the precedents. But the
sovereign power lies in congress whenever
1t cares to exert it, and no president would
have the right to ignore a supreme law of
the land passed over his veto. In other
words, the president has exercised the
right, but congress may and perhaps ought
to exercise it, WALTER WELLMAN.
