A TRIUMpB OF RAILRoAD1Ne.

The snow-blockade on the Sierras was
finally broken on Thursday, and the trains
so long delayed were set in motion 1t
was a triumph of railroading that has never
been paralleled. The labors of the officers
of the Southern Paeihc Company in all the
late contests with the elements have been
of character to excite the admiration of
all men whose vision is not perverted by
iaundiced bitterness and the bias of I'M
reasoning prejudice.
The truth is that no such heroic en-
deavor to clear road and keep il open has
ever before been made, and never has there
been such an expenditure of money to keep
faith with travelling public. Nor is
there any instance of record, or known, in
which delayed passengers were so gener-
ously supplied with necessaries by car
rier, or where any common carrier stepped
beyond his legal obligations to so solicit
ously care for the people who had unfortu-
nately been storm bound on his line.
The conduct of the Southern Pacific
Company in this whole matter has been of
the most disinterested aud heroic charac-
ter. 1t has reflected honor upon the State,
and has made every broad-minded CaIifor
Man prouder OF his State.
The storm and blockade has also served
to develop some curious phases of human
nature, and has exhibited some small souls
in their true proportions. For the men
who, in the full knowledge of all that was
being done TO break the blockade and re-
lieve the passengers, could fad in the sit
uation only cause for abuse of the railroad
officials and their employees, revealed to a
plying world the narrowness of their ma
lures and that for the sake of petty re-
venges they are capable of misrepresenta-
ton on the one hand and suppression of
the truth on the other.
The events OF the storm have served also
to demonstrate the enormous difficulties
under which the roads over the mountains,
east and north, are operated. and the great
peril that capital encounters in maintain
ing roads through regions liable to such
phenomena as has made this winter in the
high attitudes one to be written down in
history as unparalleled in severity and the
persistency of the elements to impede the
works of man.

attend TO the public business, by silence
be considered absent from the House
though yisibly present? We undertake
to say that the common sense Of the coun-
try will render a negative verdict, no mat
ter what the custom may have been in
all the years past, and in doing so will not
DENY minority any right guaranteed by
the Constitution. As matter of fact
and it cannot be successfully denied-a
great portion of the legislation by the
House of Representatives has been done
without the quorum voting, but in all
such cases the quorum was actually pres
ent. To say that the determination of
physical fact as to whether there is or is
not bodily present majority of legisla-
tive assembly must depend upon the whlm
OF members who refuse to vote, is to COM
nit to a minority the power to obstruct
and defeat all legislation and thus to stop
the wheels of government. The theory of
the Government is that it is to be adj
ministered under laws regularly passed
by the elected representatives of the
people and of the chosen Senators Of the
States and by approval of the measures
by the Executive. 1t is to defeat that pro-
cess by Sailing it at the outset, to commit
to a minority present, but silent, the right
to be counted as absent-that is to say, to
refuse to be counted as present, except
when legislation to its liking is promoted.
In short, the maintenance of the rule
contended for would reverse the order and
give to the minority the power to dictate
to the majority, and thus prevent the peo-
pie from exercising the right Of self-gov-
eminent through and by the voice Of the
majority. Mr.. McKenna put the question
very pointedly when he said to a reporter,
referring to the recent scenes in the House:
The Democratic claim was at times ludicTous.
Almost every Democrat was in his seat: many
were on the floor at once making motions,
vociferating and gesticulating and claiming they
were not there at ALL Mr.. Crisp, of Georgia,
would call for the ayes and noes on a motion.
He would be supported by one hundred and
fifty Democrats standing in their places; they
would then sit down and grdvely claim that
they were not present. and when the Speaker
said they were present they all shouted that his
decision Was revolutionary. To be present per
sonally and to be absent parliamentary seems a
contradiction to plain mind.
