tuition of the United States, and the SUI
preme Court of the United States have
decided in favor of the position taken by
the Republican party, and have so decided
by unanimous vote with the Chief JUS
tice and two justices of the court Demo-
cratic, all concurring in that decision.
And, Mr.. Chairman, I make the further
assertion, to be verified by any gentle
man who takes the trouble to examine
the decisions and the facts, that the de-
cision of every court of every State IN the
United States that has ever decided TINS
question has been unanimous to the same
effect, without reference to party condl-
tons OF to party feeling.
Now, then the House of Representa-
tives today is acting in absolute defiance
of the Constitution of the United States,
because it insists upon an acting quorum
where the Constitution says that pres
ent quorum is sufficient for the transac-
ton of business. Will the gentleman
from Georgia INF. Tnrner] say to me
that this House can make rules which
will govern that question? This House
can make rules for its guidance, but those
rules must be in accordance with the
Constitution of the United States.
Whether the quorum required is pres
ent quorum or an acting quorum is not to
be determined by this House. That
question has been determined by some
thing superior to this House, even with a
8 to Democratic majority [laughterl,
and that is the Constitution of the United
States as expounded by the supreme
tribunal that is entitled to expound it.
Applause.
The gentleman from Georgia has seen
fit to refer to the last election. Why,
that has been done to surfeit by the gem
tleman from Tennessee MI. McMillinl.
Although the gentleman from Georgia
has done it in q more polished fashion,
nevertheless the fact remains that that
great argument has already been fully
exploded. How often in the history of
the world have the righteous gone tenn
porarily to the wall Laughter on the
Democratic SIDE. Why, in the year 1858
Oliver Cromwell was protector Of Great
Britain, and the flag of Great Britain was
respected on every sea, and the voice OF
Cromwell stayed the persecution OF
Christians in every land: yet, in 1860 the
people of Great Britain, with loud accla-
nations, welcomed back the monarchy
with Charles II, and a few years after
wards the Dutch feet sailed up the Med
way, bringing dishonor to the BRUSH
flag.
4 few years more and Charles II lay
buried in the great Abbey "Where Eng
lands most honored dead do lie, and
before his death Oliver Cromwell, head
less, had been buried under Tyburn tree.
But which would you rather honor the
memory of to-day: Charles II, admired
for the moment by the English people, or
Oliver Cromwell, admired by all man
kind forever? Applause It is not
victories in politics or in war that are
finally triumphant, but it is the Lords
truth. it is the sound principles; and, in
the sign of those principles, the Republic
can party viii be ultimately victorious.
Prolonged applause on the Republican
side.

MEAr-E4rISG AND MORALITY.
Count Tolstoi Says That Only Vegetsrisns
Are Good People.

] only desire to establish the PROPOSE
tions that in order TO lead moral life
1t is necessary to observe a certain Sc
uuence in good actions; that II man is
serious in his aspirations TO lead good
life the practical manifestations Of that
desire will necessarily unfold themselves
In a certain order. and that in this order
the abstemiousness (self-mastery) Is the
first virtue which he will have to cult
vate in the pursuit OF the virtue or alb
stemiousness he must again observe
certain definite order, and the first step
therein will be ahstemiousness in food
fasting, says the Nevada News. In the
practice Of fasting the first thing from
which he must abstain. II he really and
truly aims at leading a good. moral life,
is animal food. and this for the intelligi-
BILE reason that, not to speak OF the pas
sions IL engenders and fosters, the con-
sumption Of animal food is plainly I'M
moral. because II demands an act which
does violence to our sentiments, viz,
murder. and is encouraged and kept up
only by mems greed Of gold and their APP
petite for savory food. The reason why
the FIRST step in fasting and in right living
IS abstinence from animal food has been
admirably formulated, not by one man
onlv but by all mankind in the persons
Of its most accredited representatives
during the course Of human history.
But why. one may ask, il the illegality
Il o.. immOralty--Of consuming animal
food has been recognized by mankind Tor

norinr this law? This question naturally
suggests itself 20 those who are prone to
be guided less by the light Of their own
reason than by public opinion. The an
aver TO the question, however, is that
all moral progress-and moral progress
IS the essence Of all progress whatever
is a work OF time. is accomplished slowly
but that the sign Of genuine progress as
DISTINGUISHED from casual advance, il It's
uninterrupted continuousness and ever
increasing rapidly. The vegetarian move

important or unimportanD, but because
It serves as a criterion by which we know
that the pursuit OF moral perfection on
the part of man IS genuine and sincere,
inasmuch as II has taken that form
which II must necessarily assume, and

JUST KEEP QUIET,

II You Try Real Hard.
Do you know what an immense amount
Of nervous energy people waste continu-
ally which might be stored up to enable
them to go straight to the point9 Avery
nervous or shy person is likely to have
little tricks OF manner which he fancies
are help to him and cover his confu-
sion, whereas they are really an injury
and loss. The habit Of wriggling in
your chair, Of twirling something In
your fingers as you talk, Of biting your
lips, or tapping ON the floor with your
foot, or hundred other things, it would
be decided gain to break.
An oculist who was examining a pa
tents eyes placed chair and told her
to be seated. Then Immediately he
asked her to get up again.
"Do you know that there isn't one
person in hundred who doesn't do
that?" he asked.
"Do WHAT" she said, thoroughly mys-
tilted.
Move the chair in sitting down. You
moved il several inches and wanted
you in exactly that light"
Probably few people have noticed
this, yet observation confirms it. Why
should anyone, having put his chair
where be thinks he wants it, move it to
another place as he sits DOWN. 1t is only
from a habit of irresolution and nerv-
business to do just what one meant to
do, to make his intention go straight to
the mark, and is probably quite uncon-
scious generally.
In learning to write or to draw you
have to learn to steady your hand and
draw lines which shall be correct and
firm with no deviation or raggedness.
1t is worth while to do everything in
the same way without any raggedness of
meaningless motion.
But, as every shy or nervous person
knows, this seems almost impossible.
You feel that if you are debarred from
Getting off steam" you must go crazy,
or jump up and down, or scream, or do
something to horrify or shock people.
Well, but try it. When you are not
doing anything keep perfectly still (that
sounds little Irish). Don't squirm in
your chair or shake your foot or giggle
or clear your throat or say meaningless
things because you are afraid to be
silent. Put all the force of your will
upon yourself TO keep from doing these
things, no matter how it hurts; and II
will hurt. Keep it up minute after
minute. You will be astonished to find
how long you can do it.
Then, when you can't stand 1t any
longer, make your escape and do SONS o.
the violent things you have in mind
You will find that you might have hys
terics once a day or knock your hea(
against the wall occasionally withou
using up half the nervous force tina
would leak out in these little unsus
pected ways.
