THE PENDuLuM SWINGS.

There are unmistakable signs of
renewal OF business activity in every
direction. This is particularly true of
the East. where industries are more
thickly sprinKled than in the West. In
addition to this, the various diversified
crops of the East, fruits. cereals and
vegetables, are unusually large. This
means OF itself big fall trade. But to
produce this extensive trade it Will re-
quire money to move crops, not only in
the West, but in the East as we'll. 1t is
universally admitted by bankers and
capitalists that there is no dearth of
currency in the country and that there
Is more coming from Europe. Money
viii move the crops; and what will move
the money? Without the latter it is
evident that general Stagnation i'll busi-
hess would continue.
Of course the early resumption of mills
and factories will necessiJate the circula-
ton OF currency, though to an extent
hardly commensurate with the needs of
crop markets. What is required. and,
indeed, about all that is needed to make
the wheels again go round is restoration
OF confidence and renewal of business
enterprise. Activity invariably follows
apathy, as surely as sunrise follows
night. SO true is this that it might be
almost claimed that national economics
We're governed by natural laws. This
country has witnessed rapid rebounds
from periods of financial depression OH
number of occasions. And once it
rose from the prostration of prolonged,
expensive civil war to a commercial
glory never before beheld i'll its history.
That this confidence is being gradu-
ally restored there are strong evidences
Oh every hand. 1t is impossible for
business of any description to be re-
sumed in a community without bene-
fitting that community. And this ben

WHY WE ARE sLrGHTED.

There is great dissatisfaction through
out Minnesota over the fact that repre-
sentativeS from this state have secure d
few and insignificant places upon the
standing committees OF the house,
while to other states, less important
commercially and politically, favors
have been dealt out with liberal hand.
There is certainly ground for COM
plaint, yet at the same time there is
good reason for the slight cast upon us,
and the fault lies more with the electors
than with the speaker of the house.
Ever since the formation of the gov
ernment it has been the custom of the
speaker>ef the house of representatives,.
in forming his committees, to'prefer for
positions of responsibility men OF long
experience and known ability. As
consequence, those states that have OIL
lowed the custom of returning their
representatives term after term have
always had a prepOnderanee OF the
chairmanshIps of the committees. 1t was
this custom that gave the South so
large an Influence i'll congress before
the war. and which IS at the present
time yearly increasing its power there.
The same precedent gave New England
a larger proportion of the important
places than her population or wealth
would seem 10 entitle her to during the
dominance of the Republican party. 1t
is seldom that Southern or New Eng
land constituency changes its repre-
sentative. Men enter the house in
middle life and stay there till they die.
By virtue of their long service and eX-
perience they are entitled to and receive
more consideration than do the younger
and treSher members, even though these
may represent more important interests
and constituencies.
In thew est, and especialiyin the North
west, there has been mania for rotation
in office. If a man serves two terms in
congress his constituents conclude that
he has had his full share of the hOnOrs
and emolumentS of Office, and he is re-
tired to give place to younger aud in
experienced aSpirant. The new man is
compelled TO begin at the foot Of the
ladder at Washington, and before he
has reached even a respectable emf
give place tn some one else.
And SO it continues to the end OF the
chapter. Rotation III Office is the mania
at the West which keeps our public
man from advancement aud retards our
material welfare. Our representatives
are practically without influence upon
the committees or upon the floor of con-
gress. No one will listen to them. They
nave to become seasoned, as 1t were, be-
fore they can command attention. and
while the seasoning process is going on
their constituents suffer. What Mime
sofa needs in congress is additional
good Democratic timber, and when it is
once there it should be allowed to re-
main. 1t will not rot If it is of the right
sort, but, like hearts of oak, will grow
stronger and better and more polished
with the lapse of years.

and make himself the judge of what to
permit and whom to hear upon the floor
of the house. Or course Mr. REED ax-

would interfere with the freedom of

But all this IS split milk. There is no
use in crying over it. The deficiency,
whatever it is, must be made up by the
imposition of additional taxes or by the
exercise of greater economy in the
future. The public is in no mood to en-
dure the former; we have right to ex-
pect and demand the latter. Congress
should be compelled to apply business
methods to public affairs, and retrench
in the public expenditures wherever it
is possible. This can be done without
imposing hardships upon the working
classes, and should be done lntelli-
gently. The committee on retrench-

TOM REED, DEsPoT.

THOMAS B. REED. speaker of the
house of representatives of the Fifty
first congress, has placed himself on the
record as 1esDotic in p:inciple-really
and truly a believer in the right of a
majority to deny hearing to minority
and throttle the privilege of free speech.
His acts while in the speakers chair
proclaimed to the world his willingness
to consent to such oppression, but
majority of the people-even his par
tisan opponents-thought he was forced
to the stand he assumed by the desper-
ate straits to which his political asso-
ciates were driven. 1t was thought.
nay. even hoped-that no American who
had been nurtured in freedom-ioviug

HOME RULE IN SIGHT.

The home rule bill yesterday passed
the house of commons, on its third
reading, by vote of 30l to 267. The
majority OF thirty-four is fully as
large as has been expected since num-
Der Of defections in the Liberal ranks
which occurred soon after the assem-
bling of parliament.
1t can be said that the work of MIR.
GLADSTONE in this direction is com
pleted. Under his personal leadership
nothing more can be done. The bill
was immediately passed to the house of
lords and given It's first reading, when
an adjournment was taken. Such ac-
ton was expected. and Is of no special
significance. Bitterly opposed to the
measure as are the lords, it is hardly
possible they will reject the bill. They
are In no sense such a representative
body as are the members Of the United
States senate. In England the house of
commons represents the people, sits
and speaks for them, their liberties aud
their prerogatiyes. The house of lords
Is near Royalty, but long distance
from the people. That this body should
nuilify the voice of the people spoken
at the hustings is hardly probable.
The people of Ireland are to be con-
graduated on the momentous action of
yesterday in the commons. Not all that
the most radical Irish leaders have de-
mandet is embodied in this measure,
nor was it possible that all could be
granted them at the present junctnre.
More may be gained in the future. but a
vast deal is now offered them from tho
hands Of the Liberal party Of England.
But above all is the Grand Old Man to
be felicltated upon his glorious success.
10 him it is significant in the fact that
1t is the elimination of the work,
and most arduous work of years.
1t is the crowning glory of his old
age. Perhaps never again will his voica

has fought this fight for Ireland with
all the enthusiasm of youth, and with
the sagacity of the veteran parliament

would be sufficient upon which to rest

alone 10 his credit. Truly, his years are
full of honor. and his fame safe in the
hands of patriotic, liberty-loying Eli

COTTON KING HANGED.
a Man of Wealth and Prom

A Man of Wealth and Promi-
nence Swung From the ScaffoId.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 1.-The hang
ing of George S. Turner at Spartanburg
today was a most unusual execution,
Turner was man of great wealth and
prominence, being the owner of the
Fingerville cotton factory. He seduced
his sister-in-law and then killed her
brother, and for three years he used his
wealth in employing the greatest legal
talent in the state to defeat the death
verdict through all sorts of technicalitieS
and by means of false witnesses.
de was hanged at 1851 today. On
account OF threats of bis rough mount
ain friends and the herculean efforts
Turner was making to defeat the law in
some way, the Jail was guarded by
troops. Turner said nothing on the
scatfoid, and met death with fortitude.
There is no telling exactly how many
men Turner killed. He is popularity
credited with three. Several years ago
he killed friendless German by firing
out of this chiefly through the testi-
mOny of his sister-in-law. Clara Finger,
and her brother Ed, which is said to
have been made up for the occasion.
Shortly after that he took Clara TO
town, and by the use of force and drugs
accomplished her ruin. For this Ed
Finger wanted to kill him, but never
could nerve himself enongh. as he was
afraid. In the course of dispute Tur-
ner killed Finger before the latter
could draw his pistol.
When placed in Jail the angly pop
ulace tried to lynch him ana turned
