Our Democratic friends in Congress
would like to have tho benefit Of quo
rum when they SEQ ono present, but
they have not the nerve toauthorizo tho
speaker to take note OF the evidence Of
his own eyes. That would DO Rcpubli-
can and common sense, and they can
not screw their courage to that point.
So they 90 on Laundering and making
the country wonder why it gave them II
majority which they are incapable Of
using.
II they could blot out their childish
opposition to the Republican practice
OF ascortaning the Presence of quorum
by the simple arithmetical process OF
counting the members present, the
nightmare would DO over. Tho pros
caco OF member ia physical TACT to
be asccTtained by tho sense Of sight OF
the speaker, but the majority prefers
that the speaker and every other DEM
ocrat in the house shall 20 it blind on
tho quorum question. When David B.
Hill presided over the senate OF New
York ho could sec n quorum when it
was present and he had the common
sencc 10 recognize what he saw.

"it is not go certain that either OF these
will hold oUt until then" Nothing in
