over q week the House of Commons was
held paralyzed. For and nights it
sat, with more persistency than the Sen
ate has shown; but with no better re-
suits. Finally heroic measures were
taken. The Speaker rose in his seat and
said: "a new and exceptional proceed
ing is imperiously demanded, and I am
convinced that l shall better respond to
the intentions of the House to refuse
permission to any more speakers and to
put the question to a vote" The OBJ
structionists raised howl, just such an
one as was raised around Speaker Reed
when he vanquish ed the American fill
busters. There was much talk of OUT
ragged minorities, about the reversal of
the precedents of hundreds of years, ETC.,
but from that moment the English Par
lament did business.
In the French assembly the history of
parliamentary development is less con-
tinuous. In the days of Louis Philippe,
the famous President Dupin a noted
wit, ruled the assembly with rod of
iron. Later the cloture was adopted.
In the Unit ted States Senate there is
no previous question. and no cloture;
and so far there has not been developed
courage and craftsmanship enough to
follow the example of Speakers in the
American House of Representatives and
English Parliament in securing action.

CURRENT COMMENT.
DILEMMA OF THE REFORMERs.
rSnrinnfiald Renllhlinan

[Springfeld Republican,
If Democratic President, pledged as
Mr.. Cleveland was, cannot be found
equal to the opportunity, the reforrners
must look againsto some other party to
present the man who is.
COMING OUR WAY.
The whole drift of Mugwump senti-
ment and support at the present time is
away from the Democratic party.
That is a double blessing to the Demo-
cracy. 1t gains both by it's own good
fortune in this respect, and by the con-
temporaneous misfortune of the great
organization which is it's political adver-
sary.
Honor to the.stwo Democrats who have
done most to speed the parting Mug

Their names are Grover Cleveland and
David Bennett Hill.

When the Hon. Thomas B. Reed of
Maine. assumed the responsibility and
took the ground that a majority, not
a minority, should govern, he assumed
the consequences, and the result was a
malignant crop of vituperation from the
very organs which are now urging Vice
President Stevenson to "immortalize
himself as Mr.. Randall did" Whyshave
these organs not the courage to say " as
ex-Speaker Reed did?" That is what
they mean. If the Democratic party
had leader like Mr.. Reed, it would not
be in it's present morbific condition. THE
attempt to initiate an intellectual pigwid-
geon like Stevenson to the proportions
Of Triton like Ranall or leviathan like
Reed is certainly one of the humors of
the situation.

The question which is now uppermost
in the public mind is that relating to
the ability of the United States Senate
to come to vote. In nearly all of the
other great legislative bodies such an
inability does not exist. Minorities have
always, at some time or other, attempted
to prevent legislation distasteful to them
by such performances as we are now
witnessing in the Senate. And when,
finally, such obstruction has become too
outrageous it has been squelched, some
times by one method, sometimes By an
other, but always in accordance with
the sound general principle THAT the ma
jority ought to rule. The previous
question: has been the usual instrument
for bringing vote. This is simply an
understood arrangement that, when any
member arises in his place and address
ing the chair says. "I..move that the main
question Ii. e. the question under debate)
be now put" there shall at once be a
vote to determine whether it is the will
of the assembly to stop debate and decide
the pending matter. If the assembly
decides this previous question" in the
affirmative debate stops and vote is
taken on the main question, lie. the pend
ing matter. Almost from the foundation
of the government the United States
House Of Representatives shas used the
previous question" And it has always
been effective until, within twenty
years, a--schemes of obstruction was built
up whereby it might be nulliied. By
alternating privileged motions, like the
motion to adjourn and the motion to fix
a +. time, for adjourning, a minority
found it possible to prevent the putting
of the previous question" So the
House of Representatives gradually
found itself chained by the will of the
minority. Mr.. Reed broke those chains
in the Fifty-frst Congress; and his ex-
ample has been followed, although in a
far off and deprecating way quite anus
ing, by Speaker Crisp. 1t is safe to say
that it will be many years before a mi
nority will again paralyze the House of
Representatives for any great length of
time.
The English Parliament has been
through the same struggle, although for
centuries it got along well without any
method of preventing obstruction. There
was very little if any obstruction for the
reason that the right of the majority to
have its way was universally recognized.
But in 1877 seven Irishmen began filibus-
tering, under the lead of Parnell. Par
nell spoke hundreds of times, even sur
passing the remarkable efforts made the
other day by Senators Allen and Stewart
The English were slow to suppress the
fili5usters, and they continued to make
trouble during 1878 and 1879. But it was
in 1881, when Gladstone was trying to
pass the coercion bills, that the most
memorable obstruction took place. For

Crews of Foreign Vessels Not Allowed
to March in New York.

been received by the committee OF arrange
mcnt for the shore parade OF the crews Of
the foreign fleets th1t will gather for The
naval review. saying that it will be impDs.
,ib'e to have the pr posed celebration in the
streets of New York
When the Italian cruiser Giovanni Biu.
san was here during the Columbian celehra.
ton last fall the sailors were allowed such
shore leave as they wanted. and % men took
out their preliminary citizen papers aud es.
tablished themselves permanently in this
city.

GERS decided not to allow any slore leave tC
their men il the Bausan ever me back to
this port.
The British naval officers have also notified
Admiral Gherarli that they cannot Civ,
their crews any shore leave for fear of de-
sertOn
Perhaps the most difficult question to over
come is the right OF precedence in such :
parade. Both the French and German con.
tngent would probably raise an objection
at not being placed at the head OF the line
Neither would be willing to have the Other
in the van.
II n compromise were made and the tive
battaliOns were marched side by side thcr,
might be ho>tiite-.
