REEDS GALL

The attitude of the Republicans 10
Congress Just now rs fun Of a certain
weird. wild interest They opened the
session with the declaration that the
majority must and should transact the
public business adopted a set Of rules
and followed a line Of procedure which
practically obliteratcd the minority; and
now, at The tail end Of the session, their
leaders and their organs are raging
against the Democrats because the latter
will not furnish them with quorums.
Most people believe that the majority
should rule The genius Of our insti
iulions involves that proposition.
There should be no means by which
the factious ard the evil disposed may
obstmct any needful legislation. The
Republicans were in the right so far
But they were not content with that.
They established a precedent Of re-
preston, and, In the person Of Mr..
REED, set up an agency Of brutal and
iyrsnnical favoritism The House.
under these forbidding auspices, be.
came a mere machine for the expedi.
ton Of partisan LEGISLATION and for the
discouragement Of debate and delibera
ton. a measure approved by REED
went through without reference to pro.
test or remonstrance, aud under cir.
Cumstances Of bafbarous rudeness to
the opposition, which. we think It safe
10 say, is without parallel in the his
tory Of legislative bodies. The Re.
TubliCans. in fact, carried out their
theory TO its last and most violent de.
ductious. The majority took charge
of the public business, aud they al.
lowed the minority to have about as
much voice in 1t as the Jews have in
The government Of the Presbyterian
Church.
Now unon what imaginable principle
do the Republicans upbraid the Demo.
oais for neglect Of duty The session
IS nearly spent, the daily grind has be-
,'me well nigh intolerabIe, the Repub.
lcaus have worked through an the
partisan bills they could think Of
upon what principle do they now

rusted constituencies II the majority
is 10 transact the public business, why
don't the majority stay here and do It 2

PALMER AND oGLEsBY.

The Republicans Of Illinois are
alarmed. They have become fearful
Of General JoHN NJ. PALMER. the reg.
ulaTly nominated candidate Of the Dem,
ooTatic party for United States Senator.
And this is the way that the existent
Republican alarm In the Prairie State
came about:
IL occurred to the Democratic mind
of Illinois that something should be
done-some plan should be devised Ito
bring about a reform Of the method Of
nominating candidates for the United
States Senate
The usual method is as follows The
representatives Of each party In the
Legislature meet In caucus, and this
caucus names the candidate. AS gen
eIal rule the candidate that has the most
money obtains the nomination, and IN
most cases some man is elected 10 the
Senate who could not have succeeded
if be bad been compelled 10 90 directly
10 bis fellow paTtisans outside the LegIs
latuTe.
So the Democrats Of Illinois said
We will get as near as possible 10 the
idea that United States Senators should

people We will nominate al ouT State
convention our candidate for Senator.
lie will go before the people and lei
them snow his opinions on an the eur
rent political questions Of the day aud
If we carry the Legislature, We will re
quire every Democratic member thereof
10 vote for him for Senator in the
manner prescribed by law
The Republicans hoOted the Demo

declared that they would stand by the
usual method. Bet they are beginning

- REHAsHED STATEMENTS.
The remarkable statement was rehashed
into All evening publication that "a bill will
be drafted for the next Legislature to allow
seven years continuous service in the Ma
tional Guard of California to entitle men,
bership in the Veteran Corps, the seven
years to include any time served by mil
itiaman in the United States service"
Seven years continuous service in the n. G.
. c., without which an exemption certificate
cannot be had, has been a condition of men,
bership always since the corps was organ
lied, and, therefore, there is NO need of
such bill. The bill proposed is to confer
exemption from military duty upon such
who are not exempt now. but have served

TIE SEVEN SEALS.
Belief of n Christian Scientist in Divin,
Paxar.

Belief of n Chr :stian Scientist in Divine
Power.
Mrs. S. l.. johnson, the Christian faith
healer who is credited with number of re-
markable cures, delivered an address last
night at 800 Van Ness avenue on the sub
ject Of "Ihe Seven Seals"
In approaching the subject the speaker
stated that TO the uninitiated the mysteries
of nature were as sealed book, and that it
was only through the mediation of the
Master that the seals could be broken and
the secrets of the natural world revealed
Through divine aid even the mysteries of the
revelation would be made clear, and the
human mind would be enabled to grasp the
meaning of the seven stars and the seven
candlesticks which the Savior bore in his
hands when he appeared to John in the
island of Patmos. We must walk with God,
as did the evangelist, before we can know
the mysteries of the natural world. 1t is
only when he is thus imaged in US that the
books are opened and the seals broken No
creed. she maintained, could bring this
knowledge, and before it could be accom-
plished the mind should be cleared of all
creeds and dogmas, and in its place be the
broader Christianity which has no rigid
bounds
At the close of the address those present
were called on to testify to their experience,
and IN response several testified their belief
in the healing powers of faith.
