If this movement is kept up all along the line the Chinese problem will soon be solyed, SENATOR MANDERSON has made a strong apeech in the senate in favor of his three battalion infantry bill. The measure follows out the recommendations of Grant, Sherman and Sheridan for an effcetive organization of the army, and should secure a prompt passuge.

President Cleveland is reported to have 'mined to inform the senate that his reasons for removing republican oflicials are hisown exceutive business. We have no idea that the president proposcs to force a fight with the upper house of congress for the sake of gratifying the defenders of worn out constitutional in- terpretations, The presidential pre- is too shadowy as a matter of fact to be made a bone of contention be- tween its possessor and the representa- s of the people. The right of veto is assured, limited by the power of the house to annul the effeet of its exercise by a proper majority of votes With regard to appomntments the president and senate are made jointly responsible. Under the constitution all presidential appointments are to be made y and with the consent and advice of snate.”” This limitation upon the appointing power of the president was in the public mtecest. Without al- lowing the senate to dictate the ap point- ments, the president was expected to ad- E ators and to obtain their consent in case advice was not asked. For its refusal to confirm any partienlar appointment the senate is accountanle to its own conscience alone. It may re- jeet an appointee upon charges of bad character or unfitness, It may also de- cline to give its consent for political r sons. Our executive is not an autocrat whose dictates are law. The constitution has wisely put limitations upon his power, und his conduct necessarily must be governed by the conditions prescribed. Itis not expected, of course, that Presi- dent Cleveland will ask the republican senators for their advies about appoint- ments and removals, but he is obliged to obtain their consent before commissions canissue for anyof his appointments. ‘There are no constitutional rights vested in the exccutive which are not expressly granted by the constitution itself. The president, outside of the authority vested in him hy the letter of the constitution, cannot dominate over or dictate to a co- ordinate branch of the government. A St. Louis trade journal, the Steel, has been endeavoring to opinions upon the refutions of and labor. As the result of its inquiric it prints nearly forty communications from the leading writers and professors of political cconomy and from represen- tative manufacturers and working men. The opinions as to the remedy for strikes, lock-outs and disagreements between em- ployers and employed differ widely. But there is o hopeful agreement on both sides that some remedy ought to be found outside of the contlicting greed for heav- ier profits on the one side and the antag- onism which has grown up between la- boring men and capitalists through the belief that the distribution of profits is un- equal and unfair on the other side. An entire ngreement on this troublesome question is not likely to be reached until the millenium, but its partial solution, within certain limits, is to be looked for as practical. How to prevent disputes between eapital and labor will prove more diflicult than the problem how to adjust them when they have arisen. The organization of labor to mantain its rights against the unjust aggressions of capital is a constantly growing re- strictive power for good. The increasing sentiment mmong employers in favor of of a sliding scale of wages in industries where the value of the manufactured product varies greatly will also assist materially in bringing about that feel- ing of confilence between cmployers and employed which must form the solid foundation for friendly relations. These granted, with arbitration as the tinal remedy when difforences break out into open dispute, a long step toward the final solution of the labor question will have been raken. The present era is noticeable for the advance which has shown itsclf in thought wpon this great o | topie, and for the frecdom | with which it is discussed by leading thinkers from an advanced staudpoint and | hed and punished hereafter | | in all of these erusades b | | mindec men | of a| ept | rtain | to crush | which ten years ago wounld have been denouneed as rank socialism, Socialism is nothing more nor less than an investi- gation into the constitution of socicty, the evils which permeate it, and prospective remedies for itsrelief.

With less time spent on polities and politicians and mor developing her possibilitic ! le ns marked an advance in the last deeade as any other section of the cowmitry, During the past year alone this section was able to show 1 clear surplus of a hundreed millions and it promises to double it within the next twelve months, Every indication tends to make it ceriain that this growth is a steady, health id permanent advance in material prosperity. Mines are being developed, mills running on full time and absorbing the products of the plantations, ivon furnaces are smoking in the mountains and facto- ries are springing up in every direction to utilize the raw materials of the farm and to farnish home consumers with pro- ducts of home industry. Over such happy condition of affairs all the siste states will join in extending congratula- tions. Rebellion and reconstruction were bitter medicine and the antidote was more disastrous,and perhaps more injuri- ous for the time being, to southern conva- lescence than the remedy. But both helped to urge on n solution of the race problem, the problem of labor which lies at the bottom of all development, and with its solution has come the expected stimulns to local development. The new generation has placed its hand at the helm and the ship is sailing in open water once more under the favoring wind of fortune. Every ad- ded industry, every factory and mill erected, every furnace and forge in blast, every mine opened binds the south by the strong bands of commereial and in- dustrial sympathy to the remainder of the union.

Such an appointment, if legal, would solve the problem by wholly retiring Swaim from the vice which he dis- graced. The supreme court some time figo mad fon in the case of Chap- in Bla vhich seems to settle the right of Mr. Cleveland in the premises. In that decision the court held that the president can displace an ofticer of the army by sending the nomination of a successor to the senate in case the senate confirms the nomination. It might be well to try it on Swaim. The failure of the court to cashier him in the first place was disgraceful. His retention with no work to do on a salary of $2,750 a year for twely rs an expensive absurdity. And while the question is up, why not abolish the judge advocate’s de- partment? It is a useless and a costly excresence on the army. There is no reason for its continuance. By wiping it out Swaim could be wiped ont with the department which he abused for his own personal ends. rotive, It has taken Governor Dawes a good long time to come to the conclusion that his secretary was resting under a cloud a man who had once sold a horse that didn't belong to him.
