The action Of the House of Representa-
tives on the Army bill last week curiously
illustrates themethods of legislation in onr
popular branch. It passed, on Friday, an
appropriation for an army of $4,000; on
Saturday reconsidered and cut it down to
one Of 10000. The change was effected
by purchase of the Texas delegation,
who agreed to the smaller sum in consider
alton of an amendment providing that
four regiments of cavalry should be sta
toned on the frontier. Their walking into
the trap so readily, indicated that they Ell
ther were very ignorant and selfish, or very
reckless. For in the first place, the
amendment was good for nothing, as the
President is by the constitution command
er-in-ehief Of the army, and no action of
the House could abridge that prerogatiye;
and second their course further indicated,
that so long as their local interests could
be guarded, those of a public nature were
of no account. The Bourbons took
this occasion to give the country a glimpse
Of the legislation which they would provide
if they could, by an amendment offered by
General Hooker, of Mississippi, making it a
misdemeanor for the President of the
Uuited States to use the army to suppress
insurrection in any state except on sppli-
cation of theState Government. The doc
trine OF Buchanan that state has no
right to secede, but that the Federal gov
ernment has no right to prevent it, is a
corpse so long dead that it is odorous; the
attempt to revive it failed ignominonsly;
but it is painfully suggestive. The amend
ments Of the Senate, to the army aPpro-
priation bill, were in the main-one which
substituted in the place of the four cavalry
regiments stationed on the Texas border,
a proyisio, that-the regimeets of cavalry
should be filed to their maximum, and a
sufficient force employed on the frontier
of Texas-and another increasing the limit
to which the army should be recruited
from 20 to % thousand. This is upsetting
the calculations of the democratic manipu-
lators; These the House approved, but
some other changes in the House require
that the bill should go back to the Senate
to be passed upon.
The Texas delegation, making virtue
of necessity, had the good sense to vote for
this amendment, and it was finally passed
by vote Of 14Oto 1926. Thirteen Demo-
Gratis acted with the Republicans.

Our Washington dispatches point out
hopeful feature in the composition OF the
present House. The narrowness OF the
Democratic majority puts it In the power
of any half dozen Democrats, with the aid
of the Republicans, to defeat their party,
whenever they think their party is going
wrong. Here in the very first month OF
the extra session, the Appropriations Com
mittee has suffered a reverse by the loss OF
seven Democratic votes on the Army Bill
with the right on their side, therefore, it
ought not to be difficult for the RePubli-
cans, when the question is one Of good
government and not of parties, to save the
country from the Democracy by the help
of Democrats.
