senator Daniels Amendment.
ATLANTA Constitution.)

ATLANTA Constitution.)
During. the tendency of the measure
for the COMPENSATION of the coal strike
arbitration commissioners, Senator Dan
iel of Virginia, offered the following
amendment:
cit is hereby further provided .tnat no
officer or employee Of the United States
and no senator or member Of the house
Of representatives shall be assignable to
service in any commission or office or
shall have any duties imposed upon him
other than those imposed by law
At the request Of Senator Hoar, or
Massa chusetts,s the senator from Virginia
withdrew his amendment, but with the
assurance that bill was being pre-
pared for early Introduction in the SEN
ate, and that it would more adequately
meet the same end. It is understood
that a strong sentiment in both branches
or congress is determined 70 enact such
a law.
The proprfety. and justice OF the pro-
posed legislation Is too self-evident to
REQUIRE discussion, and tho wonder is
that our system Of government, presun-
ably organized to safeguard the people
frnrn official and legislative abuses.
Should for century and quarter have
left such branch in the adamant WALL
OF constitutional liberty.
We hear much Of the impartiality of
Il the bench, and 1t is an unwritten proverh
of Jurisprudence that the Judge, ike
Caesars wife, shall be above suspicion.
The scrupulosity OF the gown in this re-
gard has at times been truly edlfy1ng,
II not over nice. But no one will gatnsay
the necessity and wisdom of such
course. What Is the difference then. In
a senator Of the United States sitting
upon commission whose decision In
wolves some momentous national ques-
ton, and later in his senatorial capacity
voting upon the ratification Of that de-
cision or award? The appointment OF
such public officer to such {. dual ottt-
|cial function may not warp his subsequent
vote and influence in support of the
policy of the appointive power. but In hui
man nature, as it. is most frequently ex-
hikited in office, the man would not be
above suspicion. The object OF prudent
government is to put him in position
where this sort OF an indirect bride is
impt ssible.
Technically, service on a commission,
salaried committee or board OF arbitra-
ton may not constitute presidential
appointment to Office, and the legality,
therefore, Of such dual OIL ehoId1ng by
members OF congress or some other branch
OF the government may not be open tc
question, but In the estimation OF al
citizens who labor for good government
50 largely dependent on Official purity
the practice is morally wrong and utterly
indefeusfble on any hypothesis. There
are circumstances that might easily make

The chances for an extra SEES

growing less. 1t looks now as
though the deadlock i'm the
Senate on the statehood bill
will soon be broken by a com
promise. and a bill will be
passed that will admit New
Mexico and Arizona into the
Union as one state, under the
name of Arizona, with the cap
ital of the new state located in
New Mexico, and that Okla
homa and the Indian Territory
will come in as one state under
the name of Oklahoma. This
will be done unless the Demo
Gratis take a notion to put up a
fiilibuster on their own account
after Mr.. Quay has laid down.
The Republicans who are and
have been fighting the omnibus
statehood bill have about con
WINGED Quay and his Republi-
can followers that an extra SEES
sion means that there will be
tariff legislation, and that is
what they do not want.
The coal. iron and steel in
terests of Pennsylvania are
every day bringing pressure to
bear on Quay to compel him to
compromise the statehood mat
ter in order to prevent an extra
session.
The Democrats have not vet
fully made up their minds
whether they will make IL fight
against compromise bill, and
until they do the matter of an
extra session will remain unde-
termined. 1t really would be
good politics. i'm the opinion of
many leading Democrats who
see an opportunity to put the
Republicans i'm "a hole during
an extra session, and then "soap
the sides and pull up the lad

come, it certainly will be cam
paign material manufacturing
