United States Senator from Alabama
Senator Chiffon sees in our Senate q
great deal that is good. He writes:
Ny personal knowledge of the Senate
is limited to a comparatively recent
period. Comparisons on my part are
therefore founded largely upon a study
OF the Congressional debates. and from
this standpoint it would seem that the
American Senate of to- day is equal IN
intellectual power to any Of its Prede-
cessors.
Nearly an the current criticisms
which are levelled at the Senate go
wide of the mark For example, the
popular impression is that the Senate is
a "dO-nOthing" organization when in
fact, the number of bills acted on every
session in that body is by far greater
than in the House of Representa- tives.
With the House of Representatives

Princes,

Numerous strangers will be within
our gates this fall Some nave already
arrived; others are en- route; others are
yet to come.
The United States as a pleasure
ground is becoming well recognized by
foreigners. Those who have been mere
have taken home such joyful accounts
OF our good times and our hospitality
that distinguished foreigners have
longed to come and taste these joys
for themselves
The most distinguished man to visit
here this fall is Sir Thomas Upton. In
yachting year there is no one who holds
as high place in public esteem as the
challenger and so Sir Thomas Upton
ranks above Prince Henry of Prussia,
who is expected, and Leopold Of Bel
gium, who is said to be pretty sure to
come over after, if not before, the mar
riage of Cantacuzene to Miss Grant.
Sir Thomas Upton ic already we'll
known. He spent part of the first fif-
teen years of his life in Charleston, and
only went back to his native shores
because he thought he could earn more
money there with the capital which he
had earned here than he could if he
remained in America.
Sir Thomas Upton is one of the
wealthiest men in England, and so is
reckoned among the great catches" of
the season. He is to be wined and
o1ned everywhere, and as a guest one
can wish him every felicitatiOn except
that Of bearing back the cup.
Prince Cantacuzene is a foreigner
whom one is both glad and sorry to
see Glad because he comes upon a
complimentary mission, and sorry be-
cause that mission is one of fair rob-
berry When he goes back he will take
a princess. The prince is a goOd-Iooking
fellow, well built and much more
manly in appearance than many of the
foreigners who have come over and
taken our girls Some of them have
been undersized fellows, pale and linn
tied in English speech, with none of the
attractive qualities which one would
think worthy an American girl. But
Cantacuzene is a good sort of fellow,
and as a guest one must say that he is
welcome He is twenty-fOur.
The most distinguished of the scien-
tifc visitors of the fall will be MarcOnf
the inventor, or, at least, the protector
OF wireless telegraphy. Marconi comes
over IN the interest of his scheme which
he has been four years perfecting. Mar
conf began to telegraph without wires
IN the helds OF his fathers estate in
Italy IN 1895. when he was twenty wears
old He now sends messages from Eng
land to France across the channel and
has accomplished the feat of teIegraDh
ing farther than the stations could be
seen.
MarcOnfs most notable feat was per-
formed on the yacht of the Prince of
Wales in the Bay of Coves He sent
one hundred and fifty messages in six
teen days to the Queen, who was at
Osborne House, Isle of Wight. The

This action of the dominant party In
the House may meet the concurrence
of that party in the Senate, but as yet
there has been no clear indication to
that effect, and it is greatly to be hoped
that the Republican Senators have
more respect for that body of which
they are honored members than to ap-
prove of such a revolutionary course on
the part of the House, which is not di-
rectly disrespectful to the Senate, but
is believed to be a substantial violation
of the constitution itself. This action
on the part of the House is a direct
violation of its own rules, and will be
justly considered by the great body of
the people of the country as the worst
possible form of flibuStering-

n1ze the need of some procedure to pro
mote relevancy of debate. In my short
experience in the Senate I have nor
seen a case where thought debate
upon the real question in hand was car
r1ed too far, but the tendency TO discuss
collateral questions seemed to be a f1,s-
tifable ground of complaint

Suggestions t

United States Senator Mason of Hi
nois says the Senate has too much red
tape. He wants open session, with no
secret meetings, and with nothing done
under cover Here are his words:
To the Editor:
One cannot help being struck by the
lack of rules and order of business IN
in other parliamentary bodies For IN
stance, 1 remember one day partlcu-
larly We were discussing the bank
ruptcy bill I stepped into the Marble
Room to speak one moment to a con-
stituent and came back to find very
heated debate in which five or six OF
the leading Senators were engaged, all
at the same time, on the silver question
made up my mind that possibly the
bankruptcy bill had been passed, but
was greatly surprised to find that the
discussion was being carried on when
there was nothing before the Senate but
the bankruptcy bill 1 do not wish to
criticise the Senators personally. but
their manner of doing business is an
absurdity and a farce. The minority,
and not the majority, governs the Sen
ate, and it is the only branch of our
government that is not in harmony
with a representative system OF govern
ment.
The general arbitration treaty, which
should have been either adopted or de-
feated, is liable to be talked about for
a long time to come. There was no way
of ordering the previous question, ana
there was no way to compel the minor
ity to come to a vote on any question
I must say that the discussion OF the
treaty was the most learned and pow
erful I ever heard on any question, and
the principal objection to it was that
the discussion was all had with closed
doors.
The executive session, so far as I
have observed up to the present time,
is an absolute farce Bells are rung,

taken from all the walks of life, and
representing the different thoughts and
environments of their States.
For this reason the body is in a sense
heterogeneous, composed of the repre-
sentatives of conflicting interests, and
representing the prOvincialiSmS, preju-
dices and peculiarities of States and
sections 1t is, therefore, not to be
wondered at tnat in its deliberations
there are sharp conflicts of opinion and
well defined differences of policy.
New England and certain other
States want protection, while the South
is still inclined to favor free trade The
industrial North opposes the free coin
age of silver, While the South and the
extreme West are advocates of free
coinage.
The Senate is essentially a body of
broad minded and generous - hearted
men. Much is said, oftentimes in ridl-
cule, of the cOurteSieS of the Senate,
and yet little would be accomplished
were it not because of that very cOur-
tesy- Practically without rules, the
Senate rarely fails to reach vote on
any important question before it. 1t
insists upon full and free debate, and
that very circumstance greatly contrib
utes to wise and just conclusions.
Some time a modified clOture rule will
be adopted, but pending its adoption
the good sense and patriotism of the
Senate will see to it that the public
welfare is not endangered.
Containing many men of great learn
ing, ability and experience, the Senate
will continue to be a conservative force,
holding the balance between the other
and conflicting elements of our pOlit-
icaI system. 1t will act moderately,
but wisely, and notwithstanding the
present cIamOr against the Senate it
viii vindicate itself and stand in the
future, as in the past, the rock of safe
ty for the institutions and the liberties
of our people. J. H. GALLINGER.
