What Is Senator Hiiti,s Purposep

/ There is considerable speculation as to
/ Senator Hills purpose in proposing at
/ this time amendments to the rules Of the
/ Senate. These amendments were intro
4 duced on Saturday last, and, instead Of
| being referred to the committee on rules,
/ were laid on the table at Senator Hills
! request This request was made because
! Senator Hill thinks the committee on
! rules is unfriendly 20 his amendments
! Those amendments are now in such
position that they can be called up at any
| time. The purpose of two of them is to
permit a quorum to be counted when a
quorum is present, but not voting, and
the other provides that whenever
any bill or resolution shall be before
the Senate for thirty days it shall
be in order for any senator
TO move to fix time for
taking a vote thereon, and such motion
shall be put at once. and without debate.
There is no doubt that the amend
ments are in the line of reform. If
adopted, business could be transacted
much more quickly than at present. There
is, therefore, nothing to be said against
the amendments.
But before they can be acted upon they
can be discussed, and the discussion of
them would likely occupy a great deal of
time. While there are a few senators
who are willing at once to make the radi-
cal changes in rules, which Senator Hill
proposes, there is a vast amount of conser-
vatism in the Senate that is disposed to
object to any changes in the method of
transacting business, and before the cons
ervatiye senators could be brought
to consent to the amendments they
would talk through the summer. This
Senator Hill understands, and the ques-
ton that is attracting attention is this
Was it Senator Hills purpose in introduce
ing the amendments, and having them
placed in position to be called up at
any time, to make them the means of OBJ
structing the Wilson bill, if ne finds he
cannot shape that bill to suit himself?
That he is opposed to the bill is admit
ted. He said as much in his speech a
few days ago. He is particularly hostile
TO the income tax feature of it. He
would not like, however, to vote against
it, but it is probable that he would
like to be instrumental in defeat
ing it, without being held responsible
for its defeat. In his amendments
to the rules he may think he sees a way
to defeat it by delaying action upon it at
this session. He could delay it good
while by calling up mis- amendments and
starting a debate upon them, and he could
do it on the plea of trying to secure re-
form that would expedite business.
1t may be developed within few days
what his purpose is. At present, the i'm
preston seems to be that he is secretly
planning to delay the Wilson bill, and
that he has the support of the republi-
cans and few democrats who are hos
tile to the income tax.

Yesterday the House adopted a rule to
| count quorum, and the republicans claim
| they have gained a notable parliamentary
victory. The rule that was adopted,
however, viii not permit of such abuses
of power as marked Mr.. Reeds term as
speaker. 1t is 50 constructed that the
speaker could not, if he so desired, count
quorum if a quorum was not present. 1t
was charged that Mr.. Reed, when speaker,
counted quorum when he wanted one,
whether one was present or not.
1t IS humiliating to faithful democrats,
however, that they were compelled to
adopt the quorum counting rule. They
had condemned quorum counting so
strongly, and had assailed Mr. Reed, who
was responsible for it, so bitterly. that
they would never have consented to adopt
1t had not necessity forced it upon them.
And who made its adoption necessary?
Why. some thirty-fve or forty democrats,
who were always absent from their posts
of duty. These absentees have so
little regard for their party and
their obligations to their constituents
and the country that they would rather
see their party humiliated and the public
interests suffer than give up their pleas
ures or put their personal business affairs
into other hands. If they have private
business which they cannot leave they
should never have accepted a nomination
TO congress. Their party would be much
better OF if their places were occupied by
democrats who can give their whole time
to the duties they are paid to perform.
This quorum counting rule will be used
with telling effect in the approaching con
gressional campaigns by the republicans.
They will point to IL as an evidence of
their foresight in putting it in practice in
the Fifty-frst congress, and then
compelling the democrats to adopt
it. They will recall the fact that
the democrats arrayed themselves solidly
against it, and finally acknowledged they
couldn't transact business without it.
If the Democratic party loses ground in
the congressional elections next fall, the
thirty-hve or forty democrats who are
seldom in their seats will be Largely re-
sponsible for it. If they had been faith
full nothing would have been heard of the
quorum counting rule in this congress.
The condemnation they have earned
ought to prevent any one of them
from ever again being honored by
democratic constituency. Their unfaith-
fulness is of kind that cannot be ex-
cused. They have been tried and found
wanting and should be retired to obscur-
ity,

The Savannah Volunteer Guards.

This corps will be % years old on May l,
1894 Organized on May /, 1902, by that
prominent Irishman, Capt. John Cum
ming, the founder, also, ten years later,
of the "Hibernian Society,"" it has since
been noted for its public spirit, and its
history has been intimately blended with
that OF the city of Savannah. Its mill
tary vigor was never greater than it is
now, and it seems destined to round its
first century of existence gloriously. It's
beautiful and touching motto, PRO arts
ct focis"-''For affairs and fresidesn ~
appeals to every citizen. 1t has erected
The Arsenal" as its final military home,
building which challenges admiration
and pleases good taste in architecture.
The corps has liberal income, and can
carry, with respectable sinking fund,
its bonded debt of S90, 900, but is seeking
to place S35, 900 of the same. Seven gen
tlemen in the corps have agreed to take
$4,000 of these bonds, when S25, 900 of
the same are subscribed, of which over
$4,000 are now subscribed.
The people of Savannah can, without
giving anything, help this corps by tax
ing at once the intervening bonds, about
$4,000, and they should do so. These
bonds bear per cent, payable semi-an-
nually, are due in twenty five years in
gold and ar@pot subject to call.
If twenty-five business houses will take
one bond of $500 each, it will practically
solve the problem. Hundreds of young
men in the corps can take the $50 and sl00
bonds but the business men and propertv
owners, whose interests are guarded by
this corps. should take the larger ones.
When the committee comes around
help the Guards and subscribe to the
bonds.

The American officers and sailors who

home with their pockets well lined with
Brazilian gold are enthusiastic in their
praise of the ship and her pneumatic
guns. The guns were effective, very eff
fective, they say; they scared the enemy.

the Brazilian government may want some

The Canadians offer the congressman at
Washington striking lesson in expedi-

their tariff debate and took vote on the
question, all in fifteen calendar DAYS.
And the vote resulted in an Endorsement
Of the governments policy by l2S to ~.
Furthermore, all of the members of the
House of Commons save seven, voted or
we're paired-there were four pairs. 1t is
stated that as a matter of fact. il was as
well known when the tariff changes were
first proposed what the result of the vote
would be-that it would be in accordance
with the governments policy-as it was
known after the result of the vote had
been announced. On this side of the in
ternational line, however, the national
legislators take months, not days. to talk
over questions the people have already
decided and nobody knows until the votes
are announced whether the majority will
rule or some Conservatism" win slip in

Of using the wrong auxiliary verb, and
announced him as presidential candi-

Depew was only joking, and meant it
would delight him if the republicans
were TO nominate him.

A Tennessee pension swindler has been
sentenced to the penitentiary for twenty
eight years for having perpetrated four
teen pension frauds. He is said to have
been concerned in sixty cases in which
three hundred other persons, all colored
are Implicated. This directs attention
to a center of such corruption" says the
Philadelphia Ledger, commenting on the
matter, and meaning that a center of
pension frauds is to be found in the oper-
ations of pension sharps among the col
ored people. And there can be no doubt
that the Ledger is right. Pension agents
have been operating not only among the
blacks of Tennessee, but throughout the
south. And they probably found rich
field in the sea-coasJ country of the Car
olinas and Georgia, where there are a
great many of the most ignorant blacks,
who would subscribe to anything an
agent told them, if it carried the promise
of getting something from the govern
ment. There are known to be black pen
sioners on the coast who never did harder
service during the war than to polish the
shoes of the federal officers, and who
never suffered greater physical pain be-
cause of the war than the pain inflicted
by the toes Of those same officers shoes.
