The boat was found floating near the lighthouse, Saturday morning, ,and in it was the clothing worn by the young man when he was last seen alive. It is believed that he rowed down the harbor to somewhere near Cranes bar, and after undressing dove ove.- board from his boat. Being warm from the exertion ofrowing and the wa ter being unusually cold for this time of year, he was probably seized with a sudden cramp, and, being unable to reach his boat, became exhausted and sank without attracting the attention of anybody on shore. His clothes had been robbed of various valuables.

notes had decomposed and were reduced

but principal. Many nervous and de-
moralized people are now Withdrawing
their deposits from banks and hiding

AS the general impression has been
widely circulated through the county
that demOraliZed capitalists are hiding
their deposits about their homes, the ever
wide-awake burglar and enterprising

the carrion is found. The loss Of interest

extra hazard TO lii itself, should warn
the nervous man at once, and guide him
TO utilize the advantages Of civilization
by returning his hard-earned cash TO the
safe keeping of our banks. where all the
safeguards OF the almighty dollar are
abundantly guaranteed to the most utterly

RULES AGAINST DELAY.

A great deal is being said about the
closure rules Of the neat Congress. The
De..ocratic majority do not v ish to adopt
a revolutionary and tyrannical measure
TO cut of debate and prevent discussion.
such as that which governed In Reeds
House of the Fifty-frst Congress, but
they are determined to adopt some rule
which will prevent the Republican MI
rorlty from improperly delaying legis'a-
tiCn. Such rule was never more needed
in the history OF any Congress than II
VII be In the Fifty-third. because that
Congress has to relieve the country Of
vast deal Of trouble imposed upon 1t by
the Billion Dollar Congress. and their op-
ponents will do all they can 10 delay, as
much as they can. this work. and, If
possible. defeat II. Some rule which will
cut off unnecessary debate and prevent
Glibustering is therefore imperative.
The Philadelphia Times suggests that
there Is an easy. constitutional and just
way to accomplish this. and that is TO
adopt the rule Of the Pennsylvania Leg
islature about the previous question. In
that body the previous question may be
called, even when n member is on the
floor and II the call is sustained debate
ceases, and vote on the main question
Is at once taken.
This seems TO sbe good way out OF
the difficulty and an easy solution Of the
problem. The previous question Is
legitimate rule intended to bring any
parliamentary body to n direct vote on
the question before the House. When de-
manded the demand must be seconded by
the necessary number OF members, and
when that is done all dilatory motions,
even to adjourn. have TO stop until a
vote on the main question is taken
This previous question, then, Is per-
fectly parliamentary remedy for all OBJ
strucuve or dnatory tactics, and II the
Democrats of the next Congress make 1t
as stringent as it is in the Pennsylvania
Legislature. they can route their hlous-
tering opponents and carry through easily
which will come before them, and In so
doing they will escape the stigma which
will always be attached to Reeds revolu-
tionary House, because there Will be no
counting and declaring quorums. whether
one is present or not. and no railroading
through important measures without due
1ebato and de1iberatiOn.
We hope the majority in the next Con-
gress will seriously consider the efficacy
If this method of proceeding and adopt
rule permitting fair debate, but making
the call for the previous question wheh
sustained. absolute and final. In this way
they can accomplish all the business be-
fore them easily and with sufficient rapid
~ and still keep the House delioeratiVe
bOdy.
