OUR SENATE.
An English View OF It's Power. Au.
thority and Performance

An English View of It's Power. Au.
thority and Performance.
The senate has played a veg great
part in American history, and, on the
whole, the tremendous power and au-
thority welded by the senate have been
well exercised. The majority Of the
senators are statesmen of great polit-
zeal ability as we'll as men of high char
acter.
There are few sights in the political
world on either side of the Atlantic
more impressive than the senate in ses-
sion. The sense not only Of n very
high standard of personal capacity, but
of the immense powers which it Yields,
seems to pervade the assembly. The
smallness of their numbers, the fact
that they are armed with authority
which is executive as we'll as legisla-
tive and the knowledge that they rep
resent not mere localities, but states
in their corporate capacity, and states
which are often as populous as EURO
pean kingdoms, naturally fill each lndl-
vidual senator with the sense OF per-
sonal distinction. A United States SEN
ator is very great man, and he knows
it, and the senate, as whole, IS III
tensely conscious and proud OF the
might. majesty and dominion which II
Yields. To make comparison, 1t mat
tiers very little what an ind1Vldual
member Of the British house OF COM
mons thinks and means to do, still less
what an individual British peer thinks
and means to do on any given subject
but it matters very great deal what
single United States senator thinks and
means to do.
The senate can veto every appoint
ment made by the president, whether
the man nominated for Office be a
Judge of the supreme court or an am
bassador or merely collector Of GUS
toms. Again the senate can, by refus-
ing to pass it, veto any bill sent up
from the lower house, no matter
whether the bill is concerned with the
raising or spending Of money or with
alterations in the law. Lastly, not
majority, but any minority which num-
bers over q third Of the senate can re-
fuse to ratify any treaty presented for
ratification by the president. Thus the
executive can make no binding treaty
with any foreign power unless 1t can
obtain a two-thirds majority in the
senate. In other words, the senate can
say the final word not only in regard
to all legislation, but in regard to all
finance, all appointments to high office
and to foreign affairs Of the nation
