precedented lis probably true, as the Ar
gus declares. that "Never In the history of
Congress has member been deprived of his
seat In the House Of Representatives with
gu. the privilege of at least presenting his
side OF the case" Elliott, of South Caro-
INA. was deprived of his seat without the
privilege of presenting his side of the
case. But 1t was only because Mr.. FL
ilott threw the privilege away. But
where does the blame lie? Mr.. Elliott
could have had the privilege If he had asked
1t, or If his party had asked it. They did not
ask 1t because both he and his party had de-
serted their posts Of duty, abandoned their
prerogatlves and their seats in order to him
der public business by sneaking into corri-
doris and committee rooms. Had the Repub-
licans, with a self abnegation which never
was expected of any party, sought Mr.. Elliott
or any of his South Carolina colleagues and
attempted to bring them into the hall of the
House in order that they might defend Mr..
EIliott's claim to his seat, the "chivalrous
blood" of South Carolina would undoubtedly
have boiled up to the point of breaking
down doors and making lurid threats against
tyrants. Had the Democratic party been
doing its duty Mr.. Elliott would have had
ample opportunity to present his claims.
Indeed, had he himself been at his post he
would have had the opportunity.

Hon. Roger Q. Mills is now stumping Wis
consin against the Bennett law and the free
schools In one respect Mr.. Mills is an ad.
mirable Democrat. He has none of the
suave hypocrisy Of most of the other South
srn Democrats. He believes in free trade, in
the Southern aristocracy, in the subsection
of the "nigger," In strong State governments
and paralyzed national government, In the
Ideas of Calhoun and Davis, and he doesn't
labor to conceal his beliefs. Mr.. Mills is an
admirable Democrat, and in everything but
his undoubted frankness and courage, he is
typical one.

Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain processes to be
greatly pleased with the Mckinley tariff bill
looking at 1t from the standpoint of q person
interested in British prosperity. As long as
we adhere to the protective policy Mr..
Chamberlain thinks England will be in no
danger, but if we should adopt free trade
then we should become powerful rival of
the mother country. The reason English
men at home are expressing so much hos
tility to the Mckinley bill, is, in Mr. Cham
berlain's opinion, because they have not
studied the question as they should. We
fear, however, that no amount of study will
ever convince the great mass of English
manufa cturers that to be shut out from our
market is good thing for them and bad
thing for Us. and fill them with admiration
Of the Mckinley bill because that will be Its

The Augusta New Age wants to know of
what avail is fair election and an honest
count II Democrats elected to Congress can
be unseated at the discretion of an unscrupu-
lous Republican majority" Democrats are
not unseated at the discretion of an unscru-
pulous majority. Election cases were never
heard and decided more carefully than by
this House of Representatives. AT the be-
ginning of the session there were eighteen
Democratic members holding seats tainted
by fraud. Every one of these cases has been
examined carefully and thoroughly. In one
sase, that Of Wise, of Virginia, the frauds
were SO notorious that not even the Demo-
Gratis could sustain them, and the unseating
OF Wise was acquiesced In by his party asso-
ciates. In eight or nine other cases
frauds have been proven in sufficient mag
Hitude to do away with the alleged majority
Of each sitting Democrat, and the committee
has very properly decided that the members
should be unseated. In the eight or nine re-
naming cases frauds have been proven, but
not enough to do away with the alleged ma
jority Of the sitting members; so in these
cases the committee have rightly decided
that the sitting Democrats should retain
their seats. OF the eighteen contested
election cases half. or nearly half, have been
decided in favor of the Democratic incum-
bents by the Republican committee and
House. Is this a record of bare-faced tyranny
and outrage? Only those who know nothing
about it can say that 1t is.

The Grain Market.


The weekly circular of Henry Clews & Co. of
New York, dated March 3, says:
The present character of the market is u de-
cided Improvement over anything we have had
for months past. Not more than four weeks ago
it was hard to find many protested bulls, - but
now local sentiment is apparently about evenly
divided, and the change has at once been reflected
in an increased volume OF business, and it is being
generally conceded that wheat is in q position
where q sudden advance is a possibility at any
time. Notwithstanding the much better tone in
the trade, prices are rather feverish and easily
affected by slight news. This is the result of q
emi-demoraliZatio OF the sCalpers, who exert
no small influence on prices, and who seem will
ing to change their views several times during a
day, and thgs uncertainty naturally causes an er-
ratio market.
A noticeable increase in outside orders is re-
ported by commission houses, which certainly
portends a better business. After the cold wave
weather, but again regained part of its buoyancy
on reports OF large export clearances from New
York and other Atlantic ports. When the effect
of this had worn off, extremely cold weather
was again reported in the far West and North
west, and prices advanced nearly a cent q
bushel. The situation seems to have re-
solved itself into one depending almost
presents: and as this IS of a very conflicting
nature, being q succession of afirmations and
contradictions, we may expect unsettled mar
kets for q while, but with a comparative absence
of the doggedly persistent bearing down of
prices. 1t is very probable that the long period
of inactivity will soon be succeeded by a heavy
speculative movement; and a pronounced influx
of outside business usually means higher prices,
especially in this instance, when wheat is al
ready SO low.

says Of the coffee market:
The further decline in exchange appears to

the most pressing wants of exporters
are supposed to be satisfied. a few
days of quietness will possibly ensue. and an
other drop in exchange awaited. Dealers are
said TO be very firm in their pretensions and the
stock must be very much reduced.
Receipts show Z considerable increase for the
week, and as planters are now satisfied with
quotations., there seems to be no reason to ap-
pretend q great reduction in supply until famine
point is reached. Santos continues to make an
admirable show as to receipts.

Trade was quite lively to-day, and retail
houses were crowded with buyers. The day was
pleasant. and a great many people were out.
Wholesale merchants did a good shipping busi-
ness, too, and the week. in both wholesale and
retail lines, has been quite satisfactory.
There was quite a demand on the general
produce markets to-day, as usual of Saturdays,
aud the markets closed somewhat depleted in
stock.
The only revision in quotations to-day is in
the fruit and vegetable lines, which are changed
throughout.

New YORK, March S.-The stock market was
fairly active to-day, but developed a reaction
airy tendency under effects of the general expect
alton of a bad bank statement, Money, how
ever, is very much easier in financial centers,
and money received by banks during the last
few days of this week must have the effect of
making next weeks statement of a more favor
able complexion. The surplus reserve was
nearly wiped out, but the statement is undOubt-
edly made upon rising averages. and as there
has been no stringency in money, even before
the large purchases of bonds, there is no fear Of
squeeze on the part of the holders of stocks.
Railroad earnings continue TO show the same
proportion of increase as usual. The impetus
from last evenings rise was still felt this morn
ing, and foreigners were liberal buyers of their
specialties, which made first prices from Il to q
per cent better than last nights figures. There
was a further improvement in the list, nOtwith-
standing the fact that sugar soon developed
weakness again and ran off nearly per cent.
The regular list soon followed, and early gains
were in almost every case wiped out. Final
losses, however, are generally Insignificant.
The market steadily yielded after the first squirt,
and finally closed quiet, heavy and generally at
close to lowest prices reached.
Railroad bonds were active. There was a
stronger tone 10 the market thSn usual of late,
