THE QUORUM QUESTION.

The recent wrangle in the House
OF Representatives, brought about by
the attempted action Of the Republi-
Oan majority in the contested election
cases, has brought out much discus
sion on the subject Of a quorum.
While it seems evident that the
object OF the Republicans is to unseat
number Of Democratic members
and fill their places. with those of
their own political faith in order to
increase the Republican majority in
the House, and if this be true it is
not to be wondered at that the Demo-
cratic majority should endeavor by
all legitimate means to prevent such
action, this does not cut any figure
i'll the question of what constitutes q
quorum of the House. Laying aside
AL other questions except the one
under consideration, we hold, that
the ruling Of Speaker Reed YVES cor
rect when he declared that majority
Of the members Of the House being
present constitutes quorum to
do business The Democrats claim
that while member may be in his
scat, if he refuse to vote on any propo-
sition he is virtually absent. With
this proposition we cannot agree.
The Constitution of the United States,
Article 1, section 5, provides as fol-
lows: 49,.
Each House shall be thu Judge of
the elections, returns and qualiti-
cations of it's own members, and a
majority Of each shall constitute a
quorum to do business; but smaller
number may meet from day to day,
and may be authorized to compel the
attendance of absent members, in
such manner and under such penal
ties as each House may provide.
What is the object in authorizing
the House "to compel the attendance
of absent members? Most certainly
it Is to prevent a minority from
hindering Legislation by constant
absence from their seats, thus break
ing a quorum without which no bust
ness can be transacted. No authority
is given to either House to compel a
member to vote, but "to compel the
attendance" OF a sufficient number of
the members to form quorum. This
is evidently the spirit, rs well as the
letter, of the clause quoted. Had the
Constitution provided that majority
of those voting shall constitute q
quorum, and giving each House the
authority to compel it's members to
attend and vote, the case would be
different; but under the clause of the
Constitution as it stands, the tat
tendance" Of majority of each House
certainly constitutes q quorum, and
under this construction the ruling of
Speaker Reed was correct.
