promlse visited the President at his coun-
irv home yesterday and had tax with
him In regard to the situation. Tney
FOUND him Immovabie 1t is not under
stood that the President told theh ne
would not sign a compromise measure
q one was sent to him that In his Judg-
ment did not threaten the credit OF the
country and the stability OF its monetary
system. but 1t Is understood he told mem
he would not become responsible in ad-
vance for the passage OF compromise
He had given his views 10 the country
I'm his message and had made his recon-
mendation, for which he was responsible.
II the Senate had some other plan II
would have to assume responsibility Tor
II. lie would not do II.
In view Of this state OF affairs the
Senate does not seem TO be much nearer
a compromise than Il was al the begin
ming OF the hght.-Special Washington

1t Is true that there was stin talk OF
reaching an agreement, but il had lost
all !orce and fell 90 the ground for very
lack Of encouragement The diverse
views on The Democratic side fell fur
Their apart than ever Secretary Carlisle
had evinced a wiilingness-not to com
promise-but TO agree that repeal shall
take effect at some future day. his p0si-
ton being that II the administration
secured repeal the exact day upon which
IL became operative was a matter Of
detail.
Il might be supposed that having con-
coded this much the friends OF compro-
mise would have found 10 easy TO Sc
cure the active cooperation of ali the
Democrats. They were mistaken. Ii was
understood that Secretary Carlisle was
opposed TO extending the time az which
repeal should take effect TO a date two
years hence. and had even suggested
one year as the limit To this the south
ern silver senators demurred. They
wanted the law to remain on the statute
books until Mr.. Cleveland left the
White House. They would accept the
purchase OF a smaller quantity Of sill
yer than provided by the Sherman law
only on the condition that these pur-
chases We're also extended beyond the ex-
flH t+lRN OR tue present ADMINISTRATION.
Opposition 10 the issue OF bonds was
also noticeably stronger In despair the
advocates of a compromise threw up
their hands
Nor was the situation. now more sadly
muddled than ~ had been since the 7th
of August made any clearer 10y the ac-
ti0u OF the Republicans. They began 10
make more apparent their intention OF
making party capital. They had learn
"a from the White House what, indeed.
their own consciences told them. that
they had done an that could be reason
obly expected. They have remained here
ten weeks supporting the President and
Mr.. Voorhees,. and even during the physi-
cal strain OF session thirty-seven
hours long were weighed I'm the balance
and not found wanting. Many OF them
talked yesterday OF going home. Senator
Hale has already gone. Senator Stock
bridge VIII leave tomorrow, and Senator
Allison is very anxious 10 participate In
the Iowa campaign, and is, indeed. re-
ceiving daily appeals from his consttu-
ents. Senator Carey ought 10 be home,
owing % illness IN his family. and other
Republicans are growing restless
The departure OF these senators might
he viewed with comparative equauimity.
even though II made a quorum more
difficult % maintain More threatening
was the determination, which seemed
10 be generally expressed on their side
20 vote solidly against any compromise
which the Democrats might propose

But fortunately it is only those who

prettest and most stylish. and may be

The United States cruiser New York

punch-bowl yesterday afternoon by the
New York Yacht Club. S Nicholson Kane,

Some embarrassment was occasloneu

4 POINT N PARLIAMENTARY LAW.

4 POINT n PAKLIAmENTARY LAW.
In the debate in the Senate on Saturday
last upon Mr.. HnTs resolution that sena-
tors prcsent who were paired, should be
counted for the purpose Of making quo
rum. Mr.. Harris. Of Tennessee. put to Mr.
Hl the following question:
IF the rule ne recommends should De
adopted. this state OF the case "ouIa
be pcssible. Suppose that there are
fortv-nye senators upon this floor,
which would be two more than
quorum as the Senate is at present
constituted, and suppose thirty OF
those forty-hve senators are palIed
with thirty absent senators, we call the
roll upon a pending bill ten senators vote
"yea" and five senators vote nay anu
thirty senators announce their pairs WIN
thirty absent senator's would the sena-
tor from New York think that IT was
proper that Bill under such circumstan-
ces should be regarded as having passed
the Senate and become q law!'
Mr.. Harris question intends, Of course.
TO point out the fact that the record would
show that when the voting on the measure
took place less than a quorum Of the Sen
ate voted and that It is absurd to suppose
that less than a quorum Of deliberative
body can perform any act pertaining to
the body.
Mr.. Hin declared that he thought the
bin should be considered as passed, but
he gave no satisfactory reason for his
opinion. The true explanation Of the
matter is this The constitution pro-
vldcs that the Senate shall make rules
FOR the conduct Of its business. The SEN
ate should have long ago made rule
that a senator present in his seat and
refusing 10 vote shall be counted and re-
corded as voting against the measure
If this had been the rule, then all pairs
when made would have been made with
reference to the rule, and it would have
been part Of the agreement in the pair
that in a case Of this sort the senator
present would be recorded as voting
against the measure, unless he chose 10
break his pair and vote as he actually !
preferred It to 60 There are many de-
Lucrative bodies that have this as one |
Of their rules, and it would be most /
wise II the United States Senate /
should also adopt it. It might not |
result in causing any measures ac-
tuamy to pass-it might indeed !
defeat measures. But it would make |
the present disgraceful exhibit Of the |
Senate impossible when, with more |
than a quorum on the floor, the Senate |
finds it impossible to go on with the de-
bate because senators refuse to answer |
to their names and thereby make it !
appear that there is no quorum present, |
when there is really more than a quo
rum.

A REPUBLICAN SUPPRESSION OF
VOTES.


REPUBLICAN SUPPRESSION OF
VOTES.
In his speech on the repeal Of the Fed
eral election laws, Mr.. Swanson Of Vir-
ginia made the following statement:
when you discuss majority rule il would
be well for you and your party 10 explain
the most infamous geIrymender OF the
age by which the Republican party elects
the two senators from Connecticut,
gerrymander I'm which you give eighty
Republican towns with 1854 votes III
representatives, in the Legislature, and
four Democratic towns with A. 43l voters
--12207 more votes than the Republican
towns-only eight representatives"
We know nothing Of the facts Of this
case, but we suppose that Mr.. Swanson
would not have made the statement unless
he knew it TO be accurate. If it is true.
1t is the crowning disgrace OF the age and
1t should forever close the mouths Of Re
publicans on the charge that there is no
freedom Of elections in the South. Con-
necticutt is q Democratic State. yet her
senators are Republicans by this deliber-
ate suppression Of the voice Of the peo-
pie.
The case adds prodigious force to the
proposition that United States senator's
should be elected by the direct vote Of the
people. There are many other overwhelm-
