SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.
DEMOCRATS KEENLY ALIVE TO THE NECESSITY
OE CMANGING THE ELLES

Washington, Feb q CSpcc.aD.-"If II were not
for the spectre Of 'Recjisrn the House would
amend the rules - a. 10 authorize the counting Of
Il quorum. and it would be done speedily and by
an overwhelming majority" said prominent
Southern representative. In conversation with a
Tribune correspondent to-day.
The opinion in substance is freely ex-
pressed by scores Of Democratic members Whether
or not the Spectre OF 'Rcel.sm' " VIII continue
much longer to control the real desire of the ma
jority and prevent II from accepting and adopting
the necessary well az wholesome doctrine .niI

decision Of the Supreme Court Of the United States

ylding for the counting part Of the quorum. II

10 vote on a pending question. Tho caucus Is not

pending has been disposed Of.
Among the various propositions to be submitted
10 the caucus IL from Mr.. Paynter. Of Ken
lucky who drew up and circulated the CAN for the
caucus 1t is based upon rule Of one or both
branches Of the Kentucky Legislature. which has
been found to operate well. and the proposition Is
styled the Kentucky pan" by It's advocates In
order to prevent any Democrat from suspecting
that IT Is tainted with "Reedism'
The Speaker and some other leading Democratic
members Of the House regard with disfavor all
propositions for the counting Of quorum. because
they realize that. whatever form the RUE might
take. its operation would effect precisely the same
result that was produced by the rule adopted in
the LIS Congress. They are therefore inclined to
favor the imposition OF fines IN the case OF mem
bers who being present, decline vote when
quired to complete the quorum
That something must be done TO rescue the House
from It's present condition of legislative impotency
nearly every Democrat keeny realizes.
The latest plan of holding quorum Is suggested
by MIR Iiynun OF Indiana. He proposes that when
n roll-caIl shall disclose the lack Of quorum a
call ~ The House shall be ordered. which call shall
also he n vote upon the question before the House.

Qualities Necessary to Make Good Judges
and Lawyers.
A judge must be fearless; for if
timid this weakness is at once taken
advantage of by sharp-witted lawyers,
who will do all they can to ''bluff'' him
into some unjust concession or unwill-
ing ruling. knowing his fear of having
any unpleasant scene in the court
room, writes Eugene Macs in Home
and Country.
If the occupant of the bench has not
the courage to promptly and effectual-
ly squelch these blusterers, the dignity
of the court suffers and the Judge in
allowing lawyers to domineer over
him is humiliated. Under such cir
cumstances reproof must be always adj
ministered when deserved, yet it must
be administered mildly, although
thoroughly, lest by showing his anger,
or giving vent to it, the court again
loses its dignity
A judge should always be prompt to
check the ardor of legal windbags, who
bring up formidable stacks of sheep

himself to be carried away by his feel

must be his sole guides.
Let it not be imagined either, that a

the contrary, a judge should be great

Mr.. Ceremony, IN his Life Among the

count of ladys man with whom he
once enjoyed an interview. "a tall,
strong, well-made and handsome young
dandy he calls him; strutting about
with an air of very superior con-
sequence, displaying his colossal pro-
portions, his splendid leopard-skin sad
die, quiver, leggins and the like.

he says your guns reach a great way

Each shot struck the tree, and b1azed
off large fragments of the bark.
Sait-jah was astonished, and made no
attempt to conceal the fact; but his ad-
miration broke into emphatic express

rapidity with which they could be
loaded and fired. His pride had evil

lofty bearing was toned down many

In my possession was the miniature
of a young lady, whose graces of per-
son, cultivated mind and amiab1e dis
position rendered her one of the most
lovable of Boston's fairest daughters.
Sait-jah happened to see this picture,
and asked permission to take a good
look at the pleasant features. The
miniature was placed in his hand, and
his eyes seemed to devour its expressive
lineaments. Throughout the remain
der of the day he bored me with fre-
quent requests for another look, and
the next morning, as soon as the camp
was astir, he offered me his bow, ar
rows and splendid leopard-skin for the
picture.
The offer being refused, he added his
horse, and whatever other property he
might have; then, finding me deaf to
his entreaties, he took one long, last
look, vaulted ~on his horse, set off at
full speed, and rapidly disappeared in
