TAMMANY AND TREASON.

1t seems rather tenuouS argument that the
Suzer people put forward in New York, that the
political bosses of the State Democracy, in ooong
the htinipeachmcnt thr"ugh the assembly, we're guilty
of treason. in that they were interfering with the
work of grand jury in order that they might Selze
the government of the State.
Without doubt the assembly sat as grand jury,
in effect at least. Without doubt too there was d
powerful political combination determined to destroy
Suzer in order to seize the administration. But the
treason of Tammany has been familiar fact so long
and has been borne with such persistent patience that
it is least very doubtful if that sort of an argument
WIN be convincing to the civil authorities.
New Yorks need is to be rid of Tammany, and OF
Suzer if he is guilty of the things charged against
him. The State sssuredly must be well-njgh I;Pe by
this time for an effective revolt. Even New York,
with the Becker scandal and now this Sulzer-Tam-
many war, is taking seriously the problem of getting
some measure of civic virtue into civic affairs
The Washington times., 1913-08-15

Government is fast becoming grim jest Congress,
its mouth watering for few insignificant slices OF
petty patronage, is bought, under this patronage
system into complete subjection TO the hand that
can give, but dares withhold.
The country without doubt applaudS the EXecu-
tive who can force his will on Congress. Congress
has lost its grip the confidence of the country
largely because the country doesn't elect Congress
1t does represent the country it tries to repre-
sent the local interests, chiefly POLITICAL Of the locali-
ties from which the various members hail. The
country does elect the President, and has been forced
more and more to look to him the one authority
that can enforce a really national view So it comes
about that the strong Executive gets applause, with
out thought of the degradation that comes, by
that token, to the great legislative branch Of
the Government
Congress at bottom is Inefficient because Of ITS
unwieldy membership, the dubious average OF eX-
perience and equipment that must mark so numSr-
a body, and the rules and traditions which eov-
ern the houses A House of half the present men,
bership, and Senate with rules dedicated to the
purposes of accomplishment rather than prevention,
would have chance to restore the legislative branch
to the confidence and usefulness that ought to be
its attributes

NO RECESS OF CONGRESS.

If Senator Cummins had hope, when he dev-
cred mis- speech on executive domination of Con
gress, that he would in some measure shame his
Democratic associates into some measure of inde-
pendence of White House rule, he doubtless realizes
now how futile was that sentiment. The Senate
by decided majority, wants TO take a recess. 1t
expected that the caucus held Yesterday would
indicate. That is, it expected by people who
imagined the Senate would oppose its wishes to
those of the President.
To pass the tariff bill as soon as possible and
then take recess till autumn, coming back to take
up the currency measure before the time for the
regular session, was the program. 1t would unques-
tonably have been adopted but for the very active
interference of the President who made it plain 10
Democratic Senators that ne could not assent to it,
The result is, apparently, certainty tha: Congress
will stay right the job until the tariff bill and
then the currency measure are passed it IS ma Ie
clear that the latter cannot pass.
The big political question right now, the question
that is discussed wherever politicians meet is how
long the President maintain his remarkable as
tendency over Congress. That ascendency is the big
striking fact about the present situation on Capitol
Hill. Nothing like it has been known. Mr. Roose-
veIt was denounced by the same Democrats who TO-
day accept with nothing worse than wry faces a
Presidential domination vastly more rigorous than
any that Mr.. Roosevelt ever dreamed, much less at

WILSON VERSUS WILSON.

President Wilson'S public reprimand for Ambas-
sador Henry Lane Wilson as good assured
from the time the latter made public the remarkable
statement in which he charged the British foreign
cfce with bad faith and violation of the diplomatic
proprietieS The President directed Secretary Bryan
to convey to the British foreign Office the American
Governments dsavowal, with an expression of re-
gret that an American diplomatic officer should have
committed such an improprety.
Ambassador Wilson has been, since his recall to
this country, very busy person. not with the duties
of his position but with criticism of the Admnistra
tonS efforts to preserve peace and restore consttu
tional government in Mexico. 1t was quite impos
sible that he could go ahead recklessly in such q
course without meeting the rebuke that has beer
administered. Everybody, apparently, realized wha
he was courting except himself.
The whole conduct of Ambassador Wilson from
beginning to end has been disgrace 10 American
diplomacy. In view of his latest bad break he ought
not to be permitted to sever finally his connections
with the service without an official clearing up of the
facts about his service at the City of Mexico The
CirCumstantial stories that have been published all
the world about his relations to the Huerta-Dia
revolt and the incidents surrounding the assassination
of the Maderos and Suarez should for the good name
of this nation in its relations with the world be in

My attention has been called TO your

action was imminent. The proceedings
IN the house were conducted under sus-
pension of the rules. and the previous
question was ordered, which shut off all
debate. The resolution was pressed un-
der whip and spur; adopted the same
day IL was introduced, and a board Of
managers appointed to appear before
the bar Of the senate ana notify that
body of the action of the house. When
the board of managers appeared before
the senate. that body had adjourned
and did not again convene until Febru-

government of the senate when sitting
