absent on penalty of stoppage Of the
public business.
The 'stoppage Of business in this
case consisted of demand for the rules
without which it is unprecedented and
impossible for any legislative body to do
business.
The other assumption is that the min
ority are hired by the day to register the
will of the majority. Speaker Reed
states it thus;
Is it possible that the United States is
paying these gentlemen $13 day with
out even the poor privilege of counting
their silent forms9
The minority are in Congress on the
theory that they are competent to deter
mine when to speak and when to be
silent; that, each member must decide
for himself 1t is the privilege and the
duty Of the members TO obstruct, and, if
possible prevent, legislation which they
know TO be improper. The last great
fight was the obstructive and filibustering
tactics Of the Democrats against the pas
sage Of the Force bill The Supreme
| Court afterwards confirmed the position
of the Democrats by declaring the
| Force bill TO be unconstitutional
Is the minority TO take active part or
even give tacit consent. TO unconstitu-
tional legislationa Such proposition is
absurd
But Speaker Reeds apology does not
argue the real contention. The minority
contends that the business OF the coun-
try should await the introduction Of
rules without which no proper business
can be done. The position of the minor
| ity is impregnable.
The majority is responsible for not
bringing in rnles. They have in fact
determined not to bring in rules till they
have manufactured larger majority.
The minority have determined to in
sist on rules before consenting to do any
business whatever.
II is impossible to dispute the justice
of that position Speaker Reeds apology
ingeniously avoids an attempt to dispute

THE Courier-Journal suggests neat
and comprehensive method by which the
majority might obtain complete control
Of the House. II suggests that the major
ity is exercising too much moderation in
suppressing the Democrats and says;
A Maori tribe ia New Zealand had a
method Of confirming land titles When
a sale was made, in order to prevent any
future trouble about the matter, the pur.
chaser killed the seller, and as an adj
ditional precaution ate the body. Then he
occupied the land perfectly confident
that he would not be compelled TO stand
a lawsuit with the former owner. Why
should the Republicans do things halt
way3 It would be much better to finish
the job.
1t seems a waste Of time to delay those
patriots who are impatiently awaiting
the action Of Congress to engage In tbs
industry Of protection with the govern
ment as a special, non-sharing partner
and those who are awaiting subsidies K
pay them for pushing British commerce
off the seas. Since the Republicans have
the magnificent majority Of three mem
bers, the minority should be grateful
that they are allowed 70 enter the HOUSE
Of Representatives at all The majority
is too magnanimons.

AN EvAslvE APOLOGY.

The apology Of Speaker Reed proceeds
on several violent assumptions. He
assumes that he is the sole Judge of what
is the business of the House and when it
should be done
The time when business should be
done is clearly within the choice of the
minority to certain extent. The will
Of the House, under the rules adopted By
the majority, may govern both the
character and time of business, bat they
cannot be governed by the Speaker except
by asurpation The apology says:
If we are to furnish quorum, th,
whole Democratic party sitting idly b,
in their seats, but not present, dumb anC
silent when business is to be transacted
but vocal when 1t is to be DISTRACTED
then there can be bnt three Republican.

AN article in the Nineteenth Century
by the Countess of Jersey maintains that
women have not degenerated physically.
She admits that women of the lower class
may not be able to do so much rough
work but they ere not required to do so
much It is a common complaint that
women servants cannot do so
much home work nowadays as
formerly, but it is quite likely
that more is demanded of them than
formerly. The writer calls attention TO
the increase in furniture and linen, to the
care and attention necessary to keep the
silver. glass and household metal, pic
lures and ornaments in proper order, the
nu merous errands that servant is re-
quired to perform to promote the comfort
and health Of the family, The require
ments Of the household have increased
ten.fold in the last thirty years. The
writer says.
Granting, however, as beside the
present question, that village girls are
not so sturdy as they used to be, is il
possible for any one with the most
elementary powers and opportunities OF
observation to deny that the majority Of
4 girls in society are not only as strong
as their predecessors Of, say, thirty years
ago, but that they are finer and taller
than these were, and possess greater
air Of health and vitality?
She ascribes the apparent change fol
the better in the girls OF the present day
to their enlarged opportunities. Streets
aud country lanes Of thirty years agt
were neither SO well kept nor SO safe a.
they are now. Travel at home q
abroad was almost impossible, mountain
ssrambles and other inducement
to exercise were not conceive,
Of even by those who had TIL
wealth to indulge their inclInations. !
is not, says the amiable writer, that tn
girls of to-day have developed strang
fancies; but dress, companions, AM
means Of locomotion give to the many
chances of healthy exercise and Of seeing
the world which were once denied to al
but few" 1t is gratifying to know
tb at the girl Of the present day is pro
rounced to be all right on such goo,
authority because, not to put too ine
point to it, she is very charming graceful
and pretty, and we might be dispose,
to fall in love with her even IL she were
not just what she should be.

emancipation Of the slaves but not of
comprehension to grasp the real situation
of the territory, nor of powes to control

ALTHOUGH the Committee on Ways and
Means had refused to listen to any more
arguments from those engaged in the in
dustry Of protecting the American indus
tries, they broke their rule to hear the
advocates for the protection OF block tin.
Senator Moody Of South Dakota who lives
in Deadwood, in the Black Hills, where
the largest tin mines in this country are
being developed will present arguments
why duty should be imposed on tin blocks.
He will be followed by Henry Clausen
and s. Uttermeyer Of New York, who are
interested in the South Dakota mines.
Elk Senator Warner Miller, Tom Platt
and Steve Elkins have urged that this
hearing be given. and il is asserted that
representatives of English capital viii
appear before the committee In support
of the proposition. These names with
the addition Of those of the English
capitalists" are sufficient to justify Con-
gress in imposing a heavy duty on tin.
Are not they all patriotic and disinter
estedS Would they not scorn the propo-
sition TO take money from the people
which was not actually neededY Con.
gress should not stop TO make any in
quiries whatever. Steve Elkins and Tom
Platt are liberal subscribers to the cam

Of Congress, legislating in the interest Of

by some visionary politicians that "the

the decision of the Court of Appeals to
