The Quorum Question.

Theodore Stanton has been inquiring
among the government legislative bodies
of Continental Europe to find out what
was the usual practice in regard to
counting in as quorum members who
were present, but would not vote in an
assembly when they wished to obstruct
legislative proceedings. The agitation
caused by this proceeding ON the part Of
Speaker Reed in the last house of repre-
sentatives has not yet entirely subsidized.
Mr.. Stanton reports the result of his in
quiries in The North American Review.
He places the French and Swiss at the
head of the parliamentarians of CONT
mental Europe. He finds that the French
always count in to make up quorum
those who are present, whether they
vote or not. Continental usage gener-
ally favors this same course where the
question has come up at all. In Holland
the good old Dutch burghers are SO Sc
rene and harmonious that the minor
ity have never yet thought of him
dering the majority in the way
adopted by the lively and belligerent
Yankees. Swiss procedure conforms to
that of France One more than half the
members of the council of states consti-
tutes majority. When this number is
present the majority vote of those who
take part in the proceedings is counted
as legal, even though one less than half
of those present do not vote at all.
In Norway members are required by
law to be present in the lower house and
to vote. Infraction of this law is pun
ished by heavy fine. In Denmark nom
voters are counted as present on the floor,
"and in Germany Herr Won Levetzow
would be inclined to do the same thing
if circumstances required it."

A short Lived LaIsa.

"a month hence" says a California
engineer Of reputation, 1.-THE Salton lake
will have dried up" Salton lake, it will
be remembered, is the shallow inland
sea which was formed by break in the
Colorado river, whose waters in modern
times, at least, flowed into the Gulf Of
California, as we know it. The basin Of
the short lived lake, however, was once
part Of the gulf, and II the flow Of
water had continued some modern i'm
provements might indeed have been ef-
fected. The river will not boom again
till spring, when the lake may refill.
ANY device that could render 1t perma-
nent would have mitigating effect
upon the dreaded Arizona climate, Of
which dire stories are told. Worse
things could happen than the tapping Of
the Colorado river higher up, 80 that all
its waters might flow into the old chan
nels and make the wilderness blossom
with the rose.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

Recently woman residing in South
Shields was leaving the postoffice, and
in passing along Keppel street, near the
South Shields police headquarters, she
tore up a five pound note, under the i'm
preston that it was an ordinary piece Of
paper She did not discover her mistake
till the evening, whereupon she informed
Chief Constable Moorhouse of the unfor-
tunate circumstance. 1t being very
dark, number of police officers were
set to work with lanterns, and after a
good deal of labor succeeded in collect
ing in different parts of the street a
number Of pieces Of the note.
These were pasted onto sheet Of
paper, and application was made to a
Newcastle bank, but the patched up note
being refused there, it was sent to Lon
don to the Bank Of England. and by re-
turn of post new five pound note waa
received by the woman, who showed her
gratitude for the efforts Of the police by
sending contribution, which has been
placed to the credit Of private police
fund.-London Tit-Bits.

solderod His Eve.

A Bangor (Me.) plumber couldn't open
his eye the other day because the upper
and lower lids were held together by a
drop of solder. The accident happened
while he was using some solder in gut
ter in WHICH there was little water:
The moment that he applied the melted
metal it snapped and flew. One piece Of
it came directly for his eye. The lids
closed involuntarily the moment of con-
tact and the solder rested upon the LASH
es; it soldered the lids together so firmly
that it was impossible to move them.
The eye was not injured in the slightest,
but was effectually closed. The victim
was half amused at the ridiculous side
of the affair. A companion took him to
a doctor, who severed the lashes. -Bos-

In FIVE months the brave people of
Kansas have reduced their mortgage in
debtedness $2,300,000. In October these
mortgages were cut down $500, 407.
This shows what Kansas can do when
she has good crop. 1t is cheerful to
note that the proportion of farm mort
cages which have been paid is larger than
that of town Indebtedness. Farmers
having been having it rough for long
time, they are now beginning to find
that when things get as bad as they can
be they always turn around and become
better. All one has to do is to work and
wait, provided he does not starve before
the change comes.

The political results growing out Of
the farmers convention at Ocala may
or may not vanish like smoke. But that
assembly originated one movement
which, if faithfully followed up, will end
in most substantial good to all the agri-
culturists engaged in it. This is the
movement toward cooperative stores.
One state depot Of the National Union
company has already been established at
Louisville. Thirty-dve branch stores
are to be founded elsewhere in Ken
lucky. The farmers county organiza-
tons will select agents and place them
in charge Of the branch stores. There
will remain one thing to insure the sue
cess Of this movement to enable farmers
to control their own purchases and &C.
cure them on advantageous terms. Talk
will be that the agents Of their choosing
must be both honest and shrewd bust
ness men.
With the example Of the great CO.
operative store system before them in
England, the farmers cannot fail in their
scheme If 1t is well managed. Members
of the first English cooperative society
put their means together and formed
joint stock company. At first they con-
fined their work merely to buying arfi-
cles at wholesale and distributing them
among the members, adding to the price
merely the expenses Of distribution.
Then great vista opened before the
co-operationists. They began a retail
store Of their own. They gave good,
honest value in all that was sold, but
the retail price was put slightly above
the wholesale, though it was stir below
that charged by ordinary retail stores.
Then at the end Of given time they
divided the profits among the stock
holders. Outsiders were allowed to pur-
chase goods, but had no share In the
profits, which were reserved for mem
bers Of the cooperative concern.
The plan above outlined has been the
one which seemed to wear the best in
Great Britain, where the system has now
spread far and wide. With modifca-
tions such as the difference Of country
and people would demand, this appears
to be the plan which would succeed best
in America. The old scheme of Grange
stores was failure naturally. But now
the agriculturists have gained expert
ence. They will be benefactors of their
fellow man if they can inaugurate sue
cessfully the system of cooperative stores
in the United States, where all attempts
to make it work on large scale have
hitherto failed. The fact that it has
been SO marvellous success in England,
however, shows that it can be brought
to perfection. Honesty, patience and
business shrewdness will perfect the
plan, and farmers will have opportunity
to show that they can manage their own
business without outside assistance.

Hunter Sam Pugh's Error.

Sam Pugh, of this city, was quite seri-
ously hurt near Saltwater, o. t., a few
evenings ago. With a party Of young
men he was out coon hunting. They
chased an animal several miles, think
ing they were trailing coon, and when
the animal was freed, Pugh climbed the
tree to knock it down. In the darkness
he could not see but what it was coon,
and he climbed up close to it and struck
it. To his surprise he found the animal
was large and ferocious wildcat which
flew at him, biting and scratching him
in horrible manner, and causing him
to lose his hold and fall to the ground.
In his fall he struck a limb, fracturing
three ribs and inficting other severe
bruises. He will be confined to his room
for some weeks with his injuries. Kan

Tommy Picked the Police Chiers Pocket.
In Madison, Wis, there is a chief OF
police, j. Il. Adamson, who is Clubbing
himself. Saturday he visited Chicago
to get Thomas Kingston, aged fourteen,
who was wanted at Madison for larceny.
He had been arrested by Chicago Off
GERS. Late in the evening he hand
cuffed himself to young Kingston and
started for the train. Before it reached
Desplaines the chief was snoring loud
and long
Kingston is q cunning little rascal.
He saw his opportunity. He quietly
went through the pockets of the sleeping
chief and found the key which unlocked
his handcuff. Stealthily he crept over
the snoring officer, and when the train
stopped at Desplaines the chief and his
youthful prisoner parted company.
The train had gone good many
miles when Chief Adamson awoke. OF
course he was mad, but when he looked
for the key with which to remove the
handcuff from his own wrist his wrath
knew no bounds, for Tommy had taken
it with him. All efforts to remove the
bracelet were fruitless, and until he
reached Madison his left hand and wrist
were buried deep in his overcoat pocket.
They were tout Of sight"
Kingston was picked up by Chicago
officers. He is at the Desplaines street
station waiting for another bout with
Chief Acknowledging Tribune.
