The Commercial House.


In the absence of Jay Loucks last
Tuesday, who had gone to st. Paul to
purchase upholstery, &c, to complete
furnishing his hotel, we were kindly
shown through the house by the gen.
tlemanly clerk, Mr.. Frank Thayer.

seldom found, even in the hotels of
oar large cities. The sleeping rooms
which are large and airy, have nearly
all been newly carpeted and refurnish-

are provided with rope ladder, thus

lady well qualified for the position she
occupies, and one who knows how to
make her guests feel at home. The
culinary department, which is presid-

neatness, and her recognized ability to

Last Monday morning Geo. Pratt
was greatly surprised upon receiving
q telegram from constable Lauder at
Prescott informing him that he had
captured the thief who had stolen a
lead of hides from his pratt 81 slaugh-
ter house. Further developments
showed that VIM. Kiesow had tried to
induce Myron Pingrey, of this village,
to engage with him in making raid
upon some ones granary for the pur-
pose of obtaining load of wheat, but
it was finally decided by Kiesow to
obtain load of hides from Pratt S
slaughter house. This news was inn
nnetliately communicated to the officers
OF the law here and Mr.. Lauder was
dispatched to Prescott to arrest Kie-
sow upon his arrival there. The pris-
Oner was brought before Justice
Knowles and upon waving eXamina-
ti3n was sent to the county Jail to
await the action of the Circuit Court.
This is the same Kiesow who was be-
fore the Circuit Court in this county
some time since charged with murder,
having accidentally (0 dropped
slcdge hammer on his co-laborer's
head from the top of well, iniicting
fatal injuries, and several of our citi-
zefis will recognize him as the same
man whom they suspicioned as horse
thief and arrested, after some Difficult
ty, but for want of sufficient evidence
was released. Kiesow had span of
horses and wagon in his possession
all of which are undoubtedly stolen
property, as he admitted to Mr.. Pin
grey that he had stolen one of the
horses of a Catholic priest in Minneso-
ia Misplaced confidence brought
him to grief this time and it is to be
hoped that justice will be melted out
to him to the fullest extent.

Crop Prospects.

The New York Times publishes a
page Of reports telepraphed from
sixty points in twenty nine States
and one Territory. They are Of q
highly encouraging nature OF
these reports, the Times says:
"With the solitary exception of
Colorado. every State from Maize
TO California reports the most bril-
liant prospects for the yield of ey-
cry product OF the soil. There is a
cautious avoidance Of confident pre-
dictions about the yield of cotton,
but from tobacco TO timothy, from
peaches to pumpkins, there is near
" uKE Amous verdict that
throughout'the length and breadth
Of the land this will be q veritable
year of plenty. The enormous in
crease Of the acreage of land under
wheat, and the truly magnificent
yield of that grain promised from
States like Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska
and Minnesota, furnish some of the
most striking indications of the
PAGES at which agricultural develop
ment is proceeding in the United
States"

DEAR EDITOR did not intend
to be silent so long, but soon after
my last we had q fire, business was
dull and all seemed gloomy. Now
our unfortunate citizen is embarked
in business again, and may success
and prosperity attend him, is our
wish.
Farming is progressing; all hands
to the plOE or employment of some
kind; not q loafer in our midst
Wheat is not injured as bad as
thought for), and corn is growing
finely. Though several farmers had
to plow up cotton and plant corn
instead, we expect it is far the bet
ter, for work it, pick, gin, press and
sell it as best you can these hard
times, it will not feed you.
Our little town is alive to every
good movement Many Murphy
ties are now among US, and we feel
sure some good will be done.

The latest reports of the growing
wheat crops are truly discouraging.
The rust, fly, and what is called yell
low blight by some, have seriously
damaged the crops In many por-
tions of the South and West, and
some crops are reported as literal
failure. The wheat crop of our
country is oae Of the most impors
tant of crops, and when e short one
is made g majority of the people,
not being able to pay 81 and $40
per barrel for -four, are forced to
the use of meal as . preventive to
healthy hunger. When it becomes
apparent that any valuable crop,
especially a food crop. is or will be
short, or failure, it should stir up
the thoughts of farmers for q sub
stitute- Sweet potatoes and Irish
potatoes can be largely substituted
for -four, and is often used as such,
even when breadstuffs are cheap.
Potatoes can be planted for the
next two months, say TO the first of
August, which might easily Eli a
vacuum made by s short wheat
supply Exchange.

Carolina Mr.. Potter said

South Carolina Mr.. Potter said
he would vote for 3 separate com
mittee for those States, but would
not consent to include them In the
investigation, though In the case of
Mississippi the Republicans had al
ready investigated that State, while
in Oregon, If there had been fraud,
it had not accomplished anything,
as in the case Of Florida The
House then proceeded to vote on
seconding the demand for the pre-
vious question, and, on viva voce
vote, all the Republicans refused to
answer. A division was then de-
manded, and Mr.. Potter and Mr..
Hale were appointed tellers, and
every Republican but Mr.. Hale de-
clined to vote.
The intention of the Repu0li-
cans in this was evident. Owing to
the absentees on the Democratic
side, and the refusal of the Repub-
licans TO vote, the House was left
without q quorum Under the
rules the usual call of the House
was made, and then Mr.. Potter
moved TO adjourn, which carried.
This disgraceful scene was re-en
acted from day to day until Friday,
when the Democratic absentees
came in and made q quorum, and
passed the resolutions.
This refusing to vote is q new
feature, and the remarks Of the
Courier-Journal special on the sub
ject are are very appropriate:
Dilatory motions, or "illIbuster-
ing" by 3 minority is not unusual
in the history of the House in ex
treme cases, but for one eide Of the
House to refuse to vote, and thus
break up the body, is g new thing
in American politics. Il is revolu-
tionary and dangerous In the high
est degree. If this practice be rec
ogniZed il will almost always be
possible for the minority to prevent
any legislation they do not like, on
any subject whatever. 1t is q com
mon occurrence for the House to
have fifteen or twenty absentees of
each side away and paired, so that
unless members present do their
duty by voting. the minority,
whether the issue be one OF party
or not, may break up the quorum
and arrest the business Of the
House for q week or more, as the
Republicans have just done. The
danger of the system of parliament
tary government disclosed by this
experience Is so obvious and alarm
ing that it is believed no time will
be lost in modifying the rules so as
to meet such cases by providing
that members not voting, but who
are actually present. may be named
and counted as present. thus help
ing to make the quorum. This is
essential to the conduct of public
business
