A QUESTION or RULES.

n question rs 10 the arbitrary effect OF
the rules governing the House OF Repre-
sentatives has recently been raised by
Representative Reed, OF Maine, in The
Century Magazine lie complains Of the
rule especially made and by virtue OF
which any ono member may obstruct or
prevent legislation altogether. OF course
this is contrary to sound public policy, and
is in opposition TO tho spirit that should
govern deliborative assemblies This par
ticular rule and all the others complained
OF are 80 many excrescences on
the simple rules that were first formulated
by Jefferson to expedite and promote tho
transaction OF business by such bodies.
Originally, when men came together to
discuss a question Of public policy or the
enactment OF law, II was counted upon
that any discussion that might follow
would help TO induce majority on one
side or the other. But this is impossible
in a so-called deliberative assembly that is
composed Of gentlemen who are avowedly
members OF either OF two great political
parties whose principles are declared with
view TO possible or probable
legislation on questions that are under dis
cussion by the people whom they repre-
sent Debates usually ensue upon such
questions when brought up, both in the
Federal Senate and House, but their de-
termination is generally a foregone con-
clusion. II has already been determined
by the last party platforms, and the debate
or debates pass with the people for so
much OF defense or advocacy OF the pre-.
determined position Of the party upon 1t.
So far, the rules Of the House are easy and
are usually easily enforced. But II one
party is greatly in the minority when com.
pared with tho other, then the rules be-
come n weapon Of oiFensc and defense in
the hands Of such minority, and II has oc-
CURED in tho history Of the House Of Rep.
resentiyes, as for instance in the mem.
orable contest over the Force Bill, that tho
rules that permitted dilatory motions TO
delay the final vote were absolutely the
salvation of the country, as in this
instance II saved tho South from
an overwhelming catastrophe of ruin.
Yet there can be no doubt that
the power 10 obstruct legislation by cob.
jecting'' should be placed beyond the
reach Of any one man. aud the rules
ought 10 be amended In any other partic-
ular that may be deemed almost rs dan.
gcrously obstructive. The work Of lsgisll-
ton should be rs free as possible from
restraint and mere obstruction for party
purposes be irowncd upon by all. good
men Of whatever political name. And 80
an attempt TO revise the Rules Of the
House for mere partisan ends should not
DO permitted. II. for instance, II Is true,

aud his party, as The baltimore Sun says

simple abuse, are aiming at such an altera.

The Best Advertisin0.

The most efficient advertising in behalf of
Hoods Sarsaparilla is that which comes
from the medicine itself That is, those
who are cured by it, speak TO friends suffer-
ing similarly, who in turn derive benefit
and urge others to try this successful medi-
cine. Thus the circle of its popularity is
rapidly widening from this cause alone.
and more and more are becoming enthusi-
astic in behalf of Hoods Sarsaparilia as it
actually demonstrates its absolute merit.
All that is asked Tor Hoods Sarsaparilla is
that it be given a fair trial If you need a
good blood purifier. or building up medi-
cine. try Hoods Sarsaparilla.

NEW YORK, August 6-The stock market
was not SO active to-day as yesterday. but there
was a continuance of the movement for higher
prices, and while some of the late factors in
the rise were absent a material advance was
scored over all the list. London figures came
lower this morning for the first time in many
days. and although there could be no reason
assigned for it, that center was seller in this
market to-day There was a powerful infu-

The short interest gave evidence of practical
elimination, and the demand Tor stocks in the
loan crowd was smaller than Tor long time.
The shorts however, were factor in the early
rise to-day, and when they ceased their demand
the market became quiet and prices dragged.
There were some remarkable gains in the earn

the news of the day generally was of a favora-
BILE nature The advances as a rule were most
marked in the Grangers and Southwesterns
and In those shares there was more business

BUSINESS AND FUN,
Happy Cling of Diverse Elements
ut the Stock Exchange.

nt the Stock Exchange.
There was some business and considerable
fun at the Stock Exchange yesterday, the lat
ter beginning in the morning and eliminating
in the afternoon. On all sides it was conceded
that Mr.. John D. Bailey could hold his own as
humorist. His pleasant sallies. in which La
Noria was not overlooked, kept the 'boys" in
good humor but whether or not they spoiled
any trade is not known.
As to the dealings it may be said that they
were on a midsummer basis but might have
been worse. The total sales were 329 shares
The most active stock was Charters Gas which
declined a full point on sales of 400 shares. A
sale at 81 was followed Immediately by one at
5O14 and another at So There was no pressure
TO sell Philadelphia, but it was a shade weaker.
There was no particular change in the other
gas stocks. OF the fractions, Central showed
further improvement, and was wanted at 325s,
with B asked. Citizens was stronger and
Pittsburg weaker and neglected.
Offers Of 5211 for Electric were declined.
While several brokers are hungry for this
stock, they are absorbing it quietly so as not to
attract much attention. Manufacturers Gas
was bid up to 2S13 with none offered La Noria
paraded around the old figures, but there was
less demand for it. Asked why the long-prom-
