,uo If the sunshine and the wind
.,-n must lave occurred TO Repre-.
,,,tatiye Bland, of Missouri. several
hines since he made the remarkable
.n.peb. cha c .erizing those VINO
r.,nsed TO vo to make a quorum
!. that his bill for the coinage OF
the seiguiorags might he passed as
,,chers of anarchy and ether
Kings equally uncomplimentary.
h the fable hasn't occurred to him
/, has to lots of other people. Tha
Loeech was a striking example OF
tbe fact that you cannot convincs
| man by Safeguarding him, and
N the bill fails to pass it will be
Mgely on account Of that speech.
|rbs opponents of the bill now say
That when Mr.. Blaud gets a quorum
thew will resort to other met DDS Of
|iibusterlng to dissipate it and pre-
vent action upon the bill. Lack OF
tact is almost always fatal defect
| in a man who assumes the role of
leader in congress. 1t is we'll know n
that many of he Republicans who
have refused to vote to make a
quorum have not done so because Of
their opposition to the bill, but
simply because they wished TO
compel SPEAKER Crisp to count a
quorum. Now these men are mad
1t Mr.. Bland aud will on that &C
count fight the bill to the last
ditch. The probabilities still favor
As pas.og Of the bill, which Mr..
Band sags shall remain before the
nuse until acted upon, but its pas
sge is no logger considered a GER

though some of it is expected to be

II one may believe statements of
