Discussing the Prop osed Rules.

Speaker Reed wanted to cut off all debate
on the proposed rules for the government of
| the House, and to force the adoption of
them at once by the same kind of arbitrary
rulings by which the democratic member,
jackson, was unseated, and tae republican
contestant, Smith, was seated. His party
wouldn't sustain him, however, and he was
| compelled to permit the rules to be discussed.
They will all be adopted, doubtless, because
they were agreed upon in the republican
caucus, and all the republicans can, there
fore, be depended upon to vote for them. If
there should not be quorum presen mt when
the vote upon them IS taken the spea ker
will count quorum.
The speaker ana the republican leaders
say that the new rules are intended to give
the republican majority power to legislate.
The real purpose of them is to take away
from the democratic minority the power to
| obstruct republican measures which are in
tended to accomplish partisan objects, and
to give the republicans a chance to get their
| hands into the treasury. They not only
| permit the republican majority to do this,
| but they enable a minority to do things
| for which the republican majority
would not want to be responsible e.
Under the rule which permits the speaker
to count quorum" a well organized mi
nority could pass bill having nothing but
| plumber for its object.
1t might be said that the speaker would
not be party to anything of that kind it
may be that he wouldn't, but why should
the way be opened for him to be. Why
adopt rules that can be used for improper
purposesl Before the discussion of the
rules is closed their dangerous character
doubtless will bs fully exposed.

quently been told by the Republican party
that by protection to home industries they
would secure the "home market" and better
prices for their products. They know by
experience that prices of household necossa-
ries and farming implements are
greatly increased by those self-same pro-
tected industries. How much longer they
will vote for that sort of protection is an
interesting question.

Afraid OF Their own Medicine.


The bill introduced into the Senate on
Tuesday by Senator Hoar to prevent
changes being made IN congressional dis
tricts until after the population is ascer-
tanned by the census that is TO he taken this
1 year. is rather remarkable one. The leg
islatures have always changed the congress
siOnal districts Of their respective states
whenever they have thought proper. and
the question of their right to do so has not
been raised. Senator Hoar holds, it seems,
that congress has the power from the con-
stitution to prevent changes in the congress
sional districts.
The question which naturally arises is
this: Why did not the senator introduce
some such bill as this long agol II he be-
lieves that gerrymandering is wrong, and
is confident that congress has the right to
prevent it. he should have attempted to
provide remedy for it long ago. His bill
is calculated TO create the impression that
his purpose is to prevent his party from
losing political advantages which it gained
by gerrymandering certain states. He
wants his party to continue to enjoy the
| advantages of its wrong-doing.
1t is notorious, for instance, that Ohio is
districted so as TO give the republicans sew
erai more congressman than they are justly
entitled to. The democrats have now control
of that state, and il has been announced
that they intend to rearrange the congress
sional districts. They could easily district
the state so as TO gain three or four demo-
cratic congressman, aud by doing so they
would do no injustice to the republicans.
They would be simply correcting a wrong
committed by the republicans. Doubtless
there are other states in which the republi-
cans are apprehensive that their partisan
work viii be undone, ami they hope to get
the HOar bill through in time to enable
them to continue to profit by their political
crimes.
No one is so simple as to think that Sen
ator Hoar would have introduced his bill if
his party were not in danger of losing
power He pretends, Of course, that he is
controlled wholly by patriotic motives. and
that he wants TO prevent his own, as we'll as
the Democratic party, from making changes
in congressional districts. Those who are
familiar with the condition of affairs in the
different states, however, know that the
Republican party has everything to gain
and nothing to lose by his bill. The bill is
aimed at the Democratic party, and it is one
of the means by which the Republican party
hopes to carry the next House. 1t is purely
partisan measure, and would have no chance
of becoming a law if the democratic minor
ity of the House were not bound and gagged
by Speaker Reeds rulings and rsles.

A Tri1e Inexact

Just read that sign; it says: Passengers are
forbidden to enter or leave this car while in mo

ray can a passenger do otherwise than get a
move on himself get in motion while lea ing

The Pilot Bill.

1t is reported that the bill abolishing COM
pulsory pilotage fees which has been before
congress for several years, and which is
known as the Dingley bill, will be reported
favorably by the committee on merchant
marine and fisheries. 1t is said to have
passed the committee by vote of to 6.
The purpose of it is to abolish compulsory
pilotage on all coasting vessels, steam or
sail. Pilotage is now virtually abolished on
coastwise steamships, and in this port sail
vessels, which are regular traders, pay only
nominal pilotage

Col. Locke, the newly app ointed post
master at Macon, has made some changes
in the regulations for the government of
the postotfice in that city which are i'm
provements, and which, if adopted in other
postoftices in this state, would be appre-
ciated by the patrons of those offices. These
changes provide for distributing the mails
on Sundays just as they are distributed on
other days of the week, and for opening the
general delivery at O'clock in the after
noon, as well as in the morning, on Sun
days The people of Macon do not have to
wait until 10 o'clock Monday morning to
get Sundays mail. Col. Locke is dyed
in the woow republican, but there is good
reason for thinking that he will make a
first class postmaster. When an official
discharges his duties faithfully and
efficiently right thinking people are not 1u-
clined to worry themselves about his politics,
provided he does not make himself an often
sive partisan.

The only interest taken in the pan
American congress just now is indicated by
an occasional inquiry like this: What has
become of it and what it is doing? The dele.
gates to the congress have been guests of the
nation for something more than five
months, and, while they attracted some at
tention when they were put on exhibition
by their tour of inspection, their delibera-
tions have not resulted in anything of prac-
teal benefit The promised southern trip
has not materialized, and there is some doubt
that it will ever be made. Some of the
delegates are said to have grown weary
and want to go home.

The New Orleans Picayune says that the
indications are that New Orleans will en-
terrain an unusually large number of
visitors at the coming carnival. The mardi
gras itself will be more attractive than
usual, and will be supplemented by the
saengerfest, which will attract mu flowing
people from all over the country. Southern
travel is beginning to be more active, and a
rate war among the railroads has put down
the price of tickets to New Orleans lower
than ever before The Picaytne thinks
that the number of visitors will be greater
than at any time since the exposition car
