Bas the Court Been sounoed2

When Mr.. Pendleron. of West Virginia,
was unseated few days ago it was stated
J that he would at once appeal to ths courts
I to test the constitutional right Of the
( speaker 70 couuta quorum. A quorum
consists Of 1G6 members, and only 162 te /
on the motion by which he was deprived of
of his seat Although a quorum did not
vote there was quorum in the House, and
the speaker ordered to be counted enough
| OF those present and not voting TO
make a quorum. The democrats hold
that this exercise Of power by the
speaker is not constitutional, and the repub-
licans, prior to the present congress, held
the same view.
Mr.. Pendleton has not vet begun his suit =,
aud he has not decided whether he will sue
for his salary, or begin quo warranto pro-
ceeding requiring the speaker to show cause
why he prevents him from exercising the
privileges of a member Ia either kind Of
a suit the issue would be the right of the
speaker to count quorum.
In our dispatches yesterday it was init
mated that the republicans were anxious
for Mr.. PendletOn to appeal to the courts,
because they had no doubt that the final re-
suit would be in their favor 4 republican
is quoted as saying that his party would not
have unseated Mr.. Pendleton without a
vote showing a quorum if it had not been
satisfied that the supreme court would sus-
tain it.
Can it be possible that majority of the
supreme court have already expressed opin-
ions on the issue to be raised in the Pendle-
ton case? 1t is true that nearly all the
justices are republicans, but they stand
very high in the estimation of men of both
political parties. 1t would require very
positive statements from men of known in
tegrlty to convince the public that any one
OF the justices had been approached on the
issue involved in the unseating OF Mr.. Pen
dleton.
There are republicans, of course who
will pretend that the justices have been
sounded in this matter, and they will do so
with the view Of preventing Mr.. Pendleton
from going into the courts, and also to
create the impression that the Republican
party takes no important step in the dark.
Neither Mr.. Pendleton nor the democrats
of the House, however, should pay the least
attention to the intimations that the views
of majority of the justices on the question
of the right of the speaker to count a quo
rum were known to the republicans before
the revolutionary course Of the speaker was
determined upon. If they believe they are
in the right they should 60 ahead. Mr.
PendletOn should bring his suit at once, and
the democrats should give him all the
moral and financial support of which he
may stand in need
If the truth were known it would appear
probably that the republicans are not so anx-
ious as they seem to be to have the speak
er's right to count quorum tested. They
are anxious rather that it shall not be
tested, and it is probable that by pretend
ing otherwise they hope to keep the issue
out of the courts.

Merciful to the Apaches.
From the Chicago Tribune.

With Mr.. Payne of Arizona is J. B. Shepard.
He is the champion Indian story teller of the
west. Speaking or Gen. Crook, he said ''Tu
never forget when fought beside Gen Crook
in an Apache battle. We had been after the
redskins several days, and one night we sighted
a band at Crazy Jims Gulch The general
started us on run, and the way we sailed
after the Apaches was caution. They stopped
and set fire to the prairie grass, hoping to head
US off, but we fooled them. When they saw
that they couldn't get away they rounded I'M
their ponies in circle and stood in the center.
We skirmished around bit and then sailed in.

that we are the people Twas a sweltering
day and there WASN'T spot on the sun. After
throwing off our coats and rolling up
our trousers we opened fire. In a
few seconds the Apaches began to
drop. Taking advantage OF an open pace led

Mobiles Trunk Mystery.
from the Mobile Reatster.

l. There was sensation at the union depot the
other morning. On the Air Line that comes in
at II O'Clock was q thick ribbed, iron-cornered,
old-fashioned chest. IL was marked "A. Sem
furth, New York"
The baggage car employees had their attention
especially drawn TO it by horrible odor, and
when the train reached Atlanta they speedily
informed the officials there of the mysterious
trunk
Within ten minutes after the train stopped
the lron-cornered chest was a sensation at the
depot.
Quite crowd was gathered around it, discus
sing the probabities-murder being the gen.
orally accepted theory,
Its human body" was the verdict of a
weiEknown undertaken I've handled 'em for
ten years, and / think l know one when the
odor is strong as that
This verdict was readily accepted. and the
interest heightened as the moments went by and
the crowd increased.
Its human body was the explanation
given to new corners as they halted with tile
crowd. somebody's been murdered and the
body's in the trunk"
'Murdered--"
Body
shipped from New YORK"
In that trunk"
And all such comment The crowd was get
tlng excited. The hotel registers were all eX-
ahmed, and no such name as ''Seinfurth' could
De found. When this was reported the theory
OF murder was confirmed.
open it!' was the cry. "Open it!'
SO this was finally done-a crowd of $50 or 200
gathered around, watching the work in breath
less interest. The trunk was turned over on its
side and cold chisel and hammer brought
The lock was broken off. AS the lid was thrown
up IT was seen that the tray had been taken
from the unk. On top was promiscuous as
sortment of clothing, flannel shirts, underwear
two or three pairs of old pantaloOns and a coat
or two
These articles were taken out carefully one
at a time. Excitement was at fever heat The
odor became stronger than ever as the clothes
on top were removed. Finally bulky package
was reached, wrapped in a sheet There were
two parts in the package.
This was carefully lifted out and the sheet
unwound. No signs of blood. Not word was
spoken in the crowd. 1t was an enormous
Limburger cheese The crowd scattered in
short order. the cheese was wrapped up again,
and replaced IN the trunk, and the other clothes
piled in on top.
An hour la er the owner of the trunk ap-
| peared. He was an honest old German mechanic
on his way to Mobile re was fighting mad
when he discovered that his trunk had been
| opened, and not at all pacified by the explana
ton of why it was DONE He left at 1:25 for
Mobile, and the mysterious trunk tied securely
with cotton rope, went with him.
