Washington, January l9.-The inten-
ton of the democrats OF the house to re-
sort to obstructive tactics until deter
mination OF the senate on the elections

Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, demanded the

Mr.. Mills motion, declared it was not
an amendment to the journal, where
upon Mr.. Cannon demanded the previ-
GUS question and was recognized by the
speaker.
Then came chorus of democratic de-
mands for the reading of the amend
ment.
The Speaker with apparent astonish-
ment)E 'Oh. the gentlemen call for the
reading of the amendment. The chair
begs pardon. The clerk will repeat the
amendment.
The clerk read as follows: (which
said ruling OF the speaker is disapproved
by the house."
The speaker regarding the proposed
amendment as not proper), recognized
Mr.. Cannon's demand. On standing
vote the demand was rejected-72 to 70,
but the republicans gathered strength
and seconded the demand-yeas 100,
nays 103.
Thereupon Mr.. Springer of Illinois,
took the floor under the rule allowing
forty minutes debate after the ordering
of the previous question.
The journal was finally approved

The Loyal Sunday School Army
Movement

At the State Sunday School Convention
Prof. Hamill, of Illinois, gave an idress
on the advance Movement" as known in
that state, and the Executive Committee of
our own state association voted unanimous
ly TO endorse and recommend the same to
the attention of county and township assO-
Citations; also to urge upon schools of all
kinds and grades to identify themselves with
the movement, as the introduction of the
Loyal Army idea will not interfere with ex-
listing regulations or cause any friction in
the workings of a school, nor displace any
of its plans. The object of the plan is to
duly recognize and reward punctual attend
ance. a lesson learned according to some
agreed upon grade and contribution each
Sunday. Every scholar, teacher and officer
of any Sunday school becomes a Loyal
Soldier" by compliance with the following
conditions: (1) Punctual attendance for at
least eleven Sundays during the quarter.
(2) By learning the assigned lesson each
Sunday. (3) BY contribution of some
amount each Sunday. A class becomes a
Company and school Regiment. The
teacher keeps a class record that will show
which scholars have been punctual, which
have done some ''home study" and which
have brought an Offering To the Lord. The
system of recognition or reward is very
simple. A autographed certificate of merit
is given to each scholar at the close of the
quarter and beautiful diploma of merit is
given annually by the state Sunday school
association to those who obtain certificates
of merit for four consecutive quarters. The
lesson assigned each grade may be as fol-
lows: First Primary-The golden text.
Second Primary-Tite; golden text; men,
ory verses; lesson story. First Intcrmedi-
ate-I pSson rs for pradp two also questions
which can be answered from the lesson text.
Grade Four-lesSon as for grade three, also
questions OH connection and from scripture
references. Grade Five-Lesson rs for
grade four, also questions as to time, places,
persons, etc. The grading is flexible as to
conditions enjoined by the school and the
teachers. The Introduction Of this system is
working splendid results i'm Illinois. The
cost is almost nothing. Now we are desi =
Gus of introducing the Loyal Sunday school
Army movement into our Michigan schools,
fully believing that it will work excellent
results. 1t will be desirable to inaugurate
the plan in schools at the beginning of the
new year, though it may begin with any
quarter. / will supply myself with the
requisite material at once, and earnestly in
vite prompt correspondence from superin-
tendents, teachers and all who are interest

Gates of merit, so cents hundred litho-
graphed diplomas, 5 cents each. l will

From The Press:

TOiii ITtSS.
1t would seem that our republican c0tem-
poraries, i'm order to secure larger circula-
tions to aid the g. o. p. in the coming presi-
dental campaign, have about made up their
minds to give each other large quantity of
advertising, whether free advertising or not
remains TO be seen. According to recent
issue of The TIMES, Bro. Owen has taken
the first steps in an action for libel against
the editors of THE TIMES, and the latter
return the compliment by declaring that
they will at once file a complaint against
their brother editor charging an attempt to
bribe member of the last legislature.
The publishers Of The Press and the Re-
porter have decided to not allow their cOtem-
poraries to have a monopoly of this adver-
tising business, consequently a libel suit
will be started as soon as it has been decid-
ed which paper will take the intatory step.
Rest assured we will not be behind the pro-
cesSion.

A Hopeful Feeling.

Wall street is extremely dull Stock
brokers are not doing any business, and
their expenses make them feel decidedly
poor. There is a hopeful feeling among
business men, however. They sa that the
outlook for better times is very promising.
The reports relative to the great staple
crops, cotton, wheat and corn, are of the
most encouraging character.
In Kansas, for instance, the agricultural
bureau predicted that the yield of wheat
would be 100000 bushels. The president
of the alliance of the state estimated the crop
at AZ, 600, 600 bushels. 1t is now known that
there will be between 10000 900 and SO, O0O,-
600 bushels. And the corn crop of Kansas
will be the greatest ever known.
The cotton crop is going to be large. 1t
would not be surprising If it should be
larger than that of the season just about
closing. Prices, it is true. are not encour-
aging, but they may improve as the season
advances.
The railroads are preparing for a big
business. They can hardly help doing WELL
With an abundance of freight and with
good management their prosperity is as.
sured.
Good crops put money into circulation
and life into business. From present in
dications the fall of 1891 will be marked by
better feeling in business circles than has
been known for many months.

AM willinn to Hello Savannah.

The demonstration at Atlanta on Wednes-
day in behalf of deeper water in SaVan-
nah harbor and the strong resolutions
adopted by the legislature in joint session
calling on congress for an appropriation
sufficiently large to permit work on SaVan-
nah harbor improvement 70 be carried on
continuously until completed indicates
clearly that the people Of the whole state
appreciate the need of deeper water at this
port and are anxious thai it shall be OBJ
tanned as quickly as possible.
Mr.. Pat Calhoun, who addressed the leg
islature in behalf of the improvement, made
a remarkably clear, strong and convincing
statement of the reasons why congress
should act promptly and literally in dealing
with Savannah hsrbOr. Ii congress gives
his address the attention it deserves it will
find in it sufficient justification for an ap-
preparation like that which the last congress
made for Galveston harbor-an appropria-
ton sufficient to carry forward the inn
provemeut to completion.
1t is now certain that the entire congress
sional delegation from this state, urged on
by their constituents, will work Increasingly
All AoofohhoI WI OpOh OOhk pooAAcAh
Lester will fall of course, the responsibility
of directing this work. He will not be
found wanting in any respect. In the last
river and harbor bill he secured the recog-
milton of the twenty-six feet project, and
obtained for the harbor larger appropria-
ton than had been made for it in any
previous bill. And he will be found equal
to the demands upon him in this effort to
obtain from the present congress a sum suf-
ficient to finish the improvement that is to
give this harbor twenty-six feet of water.
But he must have all the help that can be
possibly given him. All the vast territory
that finds a seaboard outlet at this port
must be aroused to the Importance of the
improvement of the Savannah harbor. To
do this is Savannah's duty. And she will
not be found wanting. From now until she
obtains what she needs she must leave no
stone unturned to bring an influence to bear
upon congress in her behalf that will be
irresistible. If she exerts herself as she
ought she will succeed. These who help
themselves seldom want for help from
| others.
