The Quorum Question.
ICharleston Budget. !

A good deal having been said about
the legality or constitutionality Of the
acts of the General Assembly of this
State on the closing day OF the ses-
sion the writer has been induced to
rules of the House of Representatives,
and has come to the conclusion that
everything done by the General Assem-
bly, on Monday, the Oath day of De-
eember, was unconditional.
The constitution of this State, Ar
ticle H., Section 4, gives the number Of
Representatives to be 124. Section Il
of the same article makes each House
the judge of it's own members, land a
majority of each House shall constitute
quorum to do business"
This being the case-the quorum
being fixed by the constitution-no
rule of the House can alter or evade
it. There must be then, at least sixty
three members present before any
business can be done in the House.
Rule of the House requires the clerk
to call the roll each day on the assemb-
ling Of the House, to ascertain whether
or not quorum is present, and under
the rule it is plain that no business can
be transacted unless there is a quorum
present. Is is true that Rule 70 provides
that none of the rules of the House can
be suspended without the concurrence
of two-thirds Of the members present
("except Rule 1,') which, were it not
for Section II, Article 2, Of the Consti-
tuition, might place it in the power of
the House to suspend Rule l and there
by allow a smaller number than ma
jority to constitute quorum. 1t is
evidently the intent of the rule Coy to
do this very thing when Rule l is eX-
cepted from the two-third vote. But the
Constitution is plain-there must be
sixty-three members Of the House, at
least, present to constitute quorum,
and unless there was that number pre-
sent when the House met on Monday,
the oath of December last, every act
ratified, &nd all other business trans
acted by the House on that day, is
unconstitutional, and is, therefore, null
and void.
Report says that there were but thir-
ty-five members present. This, together
with the fact that the supply bill ratifi-
ed was not the supply bill passed by the
two Houses, portion of it, the Char
lesion amendment, having been left
off, makes the matter a very serious
one. If the supply bill and the appro-
priation bills are both unconstitutional,
no taxes can be collected or paid out
under them. The remedy is an imme-
diate extra session of the Legislature.

operation of all teachers is necessary.
In the past few years when the column

ally'to them but their2appeals were, ]

"Have We a Supply Bill 90
1Charleston BUDGET

The act which was ratified, and
which was approved by the Governor:
is not the bill which was read three
times ir each house, and was amended
on the last reading in Senate, because
the Senate amendment was left off by
the committee on enrolled acts. This
is outside Of the fact that only thirteen
Senators and thirty-fve members of the
House were present on the last of the
session.
BY the way, how was it that when
the roll of the House was called on the
last day it did not appear that there
was not quorum present; and if the
roll was not called, by what authority
was the call dispensed with? K. D.

Chief Arthur to Resign.

Enforcing Prohibition in Iowa.

BURLINGTON, Iowa, January Am
important movement for the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law took place
yesterday. The sheriff made raid on
a wholesale liquor establishment, and
seized about POO barrels ofwhiskey and
100 cases of wine. The Hotel Duncan
saloon was subjected to call from the
sheriff last evening. Mayor Duncan is
proprietor of this hotel. These raids
have caused a great sensation among
the liquor and saloon men, and it is
the general belief that number OF
them contemplate remaining beyond
the limits Of the State.

End of the Bagging Trust.

ST. LOUIS, January cit transpired
here to-day that the alleged Cotton
Bagging Trust has run its day and
quietly died. 1t appears that the so.
called trust was simply an agreement
between bagging manufacturers to
combine for certain purposes until Jan
uary l, when the compact was to expire
They say they made a little money,
but not as much as they hoped to-
However, they are satisfied. The price
of bagging has fallen about two cents
since New Year and will probably still
further decline.

The cottage should be the gem, its sur
roundings the setting. 1t should not
match" with the colors of its surroundings,
but rather contrast with them.
Nature requires consideration, but she
shows the opservant house painter, as she
shows any other artist, how to get the best
effects. The beautiful reds and yellows that
predominant in the changing hues of au-
tumn foliage indicate the most artistic con-
trasts for green. The green vine climbing
up the cliff or the green oasis in a sea of
sand, indicates the most pleasing color,
where there is no foliage.
Avoid masses Of blue-nature uses that
color sparingly, except in the sky, W which is
a translucent blue that no color mixer can
initiate.
Turn to nature for suggestions and in
struction-her directions are more COM
plete than a volume on the subject.

design illustrating this article is as follows

accommodations principal rooms,
closets, ETC., and their sizes are shown by
the floor plans given herewith. Besides these
there is a cellar under the kitchen and an
open balcony in the tower. A scuttle in
the hall leads to the attic. Access to the
tower is obtained by scuttle door in the
roof. The more convenient access to the
tower that would be afforded by a stair
way would take up space from bed room
of more value than the tower. Indeed, the
towers principal treason for being" is to
give full hight to the ceiling of a bed room,
thereby charging it. The tower may be
inclosed with sashes during the winter
months
Special Features. attractive exte-
rior, unusually effective by reason of the
tower. The first floor rooms are connected
by wide openings, as they should be in
every small house. ALI of the rooms of
both floors, except the kitchen, are directly
accessible from q hall.
A feature that is quite effective on the
exterior and very pleasing within is the
bay-window form Of the front, extending
the full width of the parlor.
Cost can be reduced by leaving Off the
kitchen extension q $50 cubic feet, $40,
converting the sitting room into kitchen.
Accommodations can be increased by car
rying up the kitchen extension another

viding another bedroom, to be reached by q

AN AMERICAN VENDETTA. By T. G. Crawford.

This volume contains very interesting
account of the Hatfeld-McCoy feud in the
