death, fifteen years ago, when a man by

from me as a cook-room. Inc man had a

the cook, aud my daughter gone. l then
made inquiry, my daughter bsing 81 years

learned from his brother that Adkins had a

Adkins and / had him arrested. He is,stili

REEDS RULINGS
Sustained Both by a Consensus OF European
Legislative Practice and Common Sense.

Sustained Both by a Consensus OF European
Legislative Practice and Common Sense.
Philadelphia North Americana
A writer in the North american Rerie,p has
examined the practice in foreign legislative
bodies as respects the quorum, and the con-
sensus of practice is that ex-Speaker Reed
is sustained in his rule to count all members
present, whether voting or not. if it be nee
essary to a quorum. 1t was hardly neces-
sary to go abroad to learn this because the
structure of parliamentary rulings is COM
mon sense, and Mr.. Reeds rule is in strict
accord with common sense. II man nec-
essary to constitute quorum can escape
being counted by refusing to vote when
called upon, and SO put an end to business
then parliamentary law is q farce. and the
men who hold to such shallow views are
farce actors.
There has never been an instant of doubt
touching the right and the duty of presid-
ing officer to regard every member present
as on duty. If not on duty he has busi-
ness in the body. The Government paws
every Congressman a salary, and it has al
ways been held that salaried officer or
servant, must obey every summons to his
post when he can be present. A member of
Congress has no more right to refuse to act
than clerk In any department.. The doc
trine that q Congressman is superior to the
laws that govern in any other branch of the
service as regards duty is simply absurd,
and the man who teaches such rot is too
shallow or too dishonest to be trusted any
where. The kittiwake politicians and other
gentlemen who cried out so Justify against
Speaker Reed because he counted man
present when he was present only exposed
their ignorance.

TAXES AND CITIZENSHIP.

What is left of that question to challenge
Senator-elect Calvin S. Brice's eligibility
to the Senate will turn on the question
whether mans residence in a given
loc8 lity is to be determined by his voting
there or by his paying taxes there, or
omitting to pay them altogether.
There is little dispute that Mr.. Brice has
been voting in Ohio without question
The vote may be regarded as something
for which it is necessary to demonstrate a
mans residence rather than as proof of
it. Unfortunately in Mr.. Brice's cases that
archaic test of mans residence so often
cited, viz, ''the place where he gets his
washing done,' does not apply. Not, let
us hasten to assert, that there is any
deficiency in the puriiication of his soiled
linen; but because he has his washing
done in so many States that if the
test were accepted he might be
Senator at once from Ohio, New York
and numerous other States to which
his railroad interests extend. But op-
posed to the prima facie inference of resi-
dence furnished by his voting in Ohio is
the inference to the opposite degree,
already referred to in these columns, pre-
sented by his decided indisposition to pay
taxes as a citizen of the State. His plat
form up 10 date appears to have been that
he resides in Lima, Ohio, for the purpose
of voting, but he does not reside there for
the purpose Of paying taxes.
Tie question thus presents itself: Can

THE BALLOT ACTS WEAKNESS.

A telegram from Lancaster, Pa, states,
on the authority of the Chairman of the
Prohibition organization, that the Baker
ballot law will be brought into the courts
by them on the question of the constitu-
tionality of the restrictions imposed by
the measure on parties polling less than a
stated percentage of the total vote.
If the provisions of the Baker ballot
bill amount to prevention of any voter
from voting for the persons he prefers, or
of the diSfranchisement of any party as
such, there is the gravest reason for
doubling its constitutionality. At the
time of the passage of the bill THE DIS
PATCH pointed out that it was likely to
have that effect. Now that an election
has interviewed we are confronted with
the fact that the Prohibition party is ex-
cluded from having its nominations in
cluded ON the official ballot as regular
nominations, and that the members of
that party or any other new party can
only get its nominees before the people by
nomination papers to which an imprac-
ticably large number of signers are re-
quired.
1t will, of course, be for the conrts to
decide whether such restrictions as these
amount to dlsfranchisemeaS; but it is not
too much to say that it will require an ex-
tremely favorable view of the law to re-
gard them in any other light. The right
of small parties or new parties to flock by
themselves is indisputable, and while it
may be an open question whether an act
that subjects them to practical discrimina-
ton is unconstitutional or not, there is
enough foundation for the claim to make
the contest an extremely interesting one.
If the law should be declared unconsti-
tutional, the further very pointed question
may arise, whether legislative wisdom of
Pennsylvania inserted that provision with
view of passing a ballot reform act
which would thus either disfranchise a
minority party or else wipe the whole act
out of existence.

UNDEMoCRATIG PARTS 4NsHIP.

1t would be taken as a principle beyond
dispute in the abstract that both political
parties should agree, in spite of the ideas of
either, that this Government is to be
carried on by representatives of the ma
jority of the people. Yet it is the case, as
The DISPATCH has pointed out heretofore,
that partisan spirit often goes to the ex-
treme of denying in practice what it would
not dare dispute in theory.
In other words. the po5,ibility of punish
ing partisanship to the destruction of
popular government is illustrated by the
vice of securing the seating of candidates
because party interests demand it, ire
spective of the question whether they are
honestly elected or not This has been
done by Republicans, as pointed out at the
time in these columns. 1t has been done
by Democrats, and peculiarly wanton
example of it is now presented in New
York by the means taken, under the di-
rection of David Bennett Hill, for the
seizure of legislative seats for the Demo-
Gratis, which the evidence plainly shows
were by the vote of the people honestly
given to Republicans.
To deny or defeat the right
of the people to be represented
by their fairly elected representatives is
more than ordinary political dishonesty
1t is blow at the foundation of popular
government. So long as such things are
possible the verdict of the people does not
govern, but the schemes of unscruplous
politicians do. The men who engage in
the seizure of seats by such means may
profess democratic principles; but actions
speak louder than words, and by their acts
they proclaim themselves enemies of
popular government.
Yet such is the degree of partisan blind
ness that such acts Of enmity
to the principles of republican institu-
tions have been committed by both par
ties 1t is an evidence that some politi-
clans can place the integrity of our insti-
tutions above party, that one Democratic
paper in New York State has been found
to denounce the act, as the Poughkeepsie
Enterprise does, as ga blow at the founda-
ton of our free institutions" But what a
commentary on the SlayiShneSs of partisan
ship is presented by the fact that only one
Democratic paper in New York has de-
veloped sufficient regard for the principles
of honest representation to speak out !,
