Reed Still Troublesome.

The refusal of the republicans, under
/ the direction of ex-Speaker Reed. to vote,
thus breaking the quorum, led to the
/ adoption Of a rule TO count a quorum. Be
/ fore that rule was adopted an ante bellum
rule was revived which requires that
members at the end of each month, when
they apply to the sergcant-at-arms for
their salaries, shall give to that officer
a certificate showing the number of days
they were present in the House during the
month. The rule makes it the duty Of
the sergeant-at-arms to pay the members
only for the time they were present The
House cannot excuse a member from
attendance except for sickness of himself
or a member of his family.
Mr.. Reed says he will not obey this
rule-that he will apply to court to
compel the payment of his salary without
a certificate. He has been led to adopt
this course by the criticisms of repub-
Iican members, who say he was the cause
of the revival of the obnoxious rule. He
induced the republicans to follow his
lead in filibustering in order to force the
democrats to adopt his rule to count
quorum. He was the only one that got
any glory out of the filibustering bust
ness. and those who are likely to suffer
from his tactics to aggrandize himself do
not feel very kindly toward him.
The democrats ought to enforce therule
docking members who neglect their con-
Rressional duties, for the purpose not only
of showing Mr.. Reed that he cannot run
the House to suit himself, but also to Sc
cure the attendance of members. There
is no way in which attendance can be
secured SO effectually as by making mem
bers suffer loss of their pay for the days
they are absent.
Mr., Reed defes the authority of the
House by announcing that he will not
submit to the rule. He will attend the
sessions of the House when he pleases, he
says, and will apply to the courts to com
pei the payment of his salary, whether
he has earned it or not 1t is about time
he was taught that he cannot dominate
the House. Ever since the beginning of
this congress he has endeavored
to make it appear that he has no respect
for the majority. He has been at war
continually with the speaker, and it has
been extremely difficult at times to in-
duce him to obey the rules. The
speaker has been extremely patient with
him, though on more than one occasion he
has been forced to adopt peremptory
methods to make Mr.. Reed understand
that he was very much in earnest.
Mr.. Reeds salary should be locked if
he absents himself from the House If
he wants to test the right of the House to
punish him in that way for neglect of
duty let him do so. 1t would be another
victory for him to let the rule fall into
innocuous desuetude simply because he
opposes it.

Able Financierinr g.

One of Spokane's bank presidents has a
habit of taking an airing each evening on the
front end of a street car, absorbing ozone and
throwing eli the cares OF business while chat
ting with the motorman. The other night he
met genius, and his match. The story was
too good to keep and finally reached the Trib-
rne. which publishes it as follows:
After the usual exchange of courtesies the
motorman said:
Mr.. Blank, YOU consider yourself finan-
cier, suppose"
Yes. replied the banker, Il guess am, or
could not hold my job
We'll, you don't know anything about
fnanciering the motorman made bold to
state. But my boss. referring to the presi-
dent of the street car company is a tirst-class
financier he Is. Why. do you know that every
sunday he advertiSes for a servant and Mon
day twenty or thirty girls ride out to his
house near theNend of the line to get the
place, but find madam can't see them; so
they ride back, and repeat the journey sew
eral times before they are finally told tat
the old girl has decided to stay awhile Now
that tnanciering. Fifty cents paid out for
advertisements and 81 or 10 taken in for car
fares to swell the annual dividends of the
boss company"
The banker saw the point, told the story on
his friend, and the boss is looking for that
particular motorman with blood in his eye.

Reformed Geometry.

Almost a hundred years ago, says the
Youths Companion, two men set out from
Virginia, to visit the Scioto valley, of the
beauty and fertility of which they had heard
alluring reports On the third night they
reached Clarkeshurgh, where they put up
with man who appeared to be honest but
old fashioned and lliterate
Can you tell US how far it is to Marietta.
and what sort OF a road we shall find asked
one of the travellers.
Yes answered the host that is exactly
what 1 can do, for was appointed one Of the
viewers to lay out the road. and have Just re-
tnrned from the performance of that duty"
That is fortunate. What do you call the
distance"
Wen the distance on a straight line which
we first run. was seventy-hve miles; but on
our way back we q S, Overed and marked an
other line, which was much nearer"
The two travellers had each spent some
years in the study of surveying, and we're
more or less amused at the IDEA of a line
shorter than a straight line between two
given points.
However, the noXt morning they took the
route which their informant had pronounced
the shorter, and, true enOrgh, they found his
statement correct, for the crooked road went
round the hills while the straight one went
over them, and the distance round was less
than the distance over.

Tho sugar People Not Satisfied.

Neither the sugar manufacturers nor
the sugar planters are satisfied with the
sugar schedule in the Wilson bill. and
there are indications of a purpose on foot
to defeat the bill unless they can get such
a duty as they desire The sugar plant
ers, through their spokesman, are repre-
sented as saying they would much rather
have the bounty for which the Mckinley
bill provides than the protection the Will
son bill gives them. If what they say
is correct they could not grow sugar
profitably if the Wilson bill should be-
come law. The sugar trust, composed
of the sugar manufacturers, is natur-
ally very anxious to get such a duty as
would enable it to pay enormous divi-
dends upon it's wateIel stock.
1t is about time that the sugar trust
and the sugar planters should be made to
understand that they have been given all
they are likely to get. If their greed for
more should lead them to make fight
against the Wilson bill, the chances are
that both raw and refined sugars would
be put ON the free list, and the planters
and refiners left to shift for themselves.
The Wilson bill is going to be passed.
The Democratic party is pledged to tariff
reform, and the Wilson bill is the best
tariff reform measure that can be gotten
through this congress. If that measure
should be abandoned no tariff reform bill
would be passed, because the people
would lose confidence in the Demo
cratic party and the next congress
would be republican. 1t is evident that
the republicans would make no reduction
in the tariff
The only excuse for putting any tariff
upon sugar is that a sugar tariff is rev.
enue tariff, but the Democratic party can
not afford to levy a tariff for protection.
That, however, is the kind of tariff the
sugar trust and the sugar planters want.
Under the Wilson bill the sugar interests
get some protection-all the protection
they can reasonably ask. The wheat and
cotton farmers cannot be made to under
stand that there is any justice in assist
ing sugar planters, while they get no pro-
lection whatever. The sugar tariff in the
Wilson bill would enable the
sugar planters who manage their
plantations economically and intelli-
gently to grow sugar at a
profit. They cannot expect to get rich
from one years crop. The wheat and
cotton planters do not get rich from one
or half a dozen crops. They are in no
mood, therefore, to be taxed heavily in
order that the sugar planters may make
large profits.
The Wilson bill permits the sugar manu-
facturers and growers to live and to get a
fairly remunerativo price for their prod
ucts. That is all they can reasonably
ask. If they demand more, and threaten
to defeat the Wilson bill if their demand
is not complied with, they will loose what
little sympathy they have, and their in
terests will be practically ignored. They
have obtained very liberal concessions,
and good judgment should dictate that
they should let well enough alone. " There
is such thing as demanding too much.

Rev. John d. Wells has been pastor Of the
South Third Street Presbyterian church,
Brooklyn. Fifty years The church is now
holding Two weeks jubilee in honor OF the
event
Elizabeth Casey, the Irish authOress, who
gained a wide reputation under the name Of
E. Owens Blackburne, died lately from burns
caused by the upsettlng Of her lamp. When
she was ii years OLD she lost her sight, and
h5f euucatlou was neglected until she was -
when she recovered her powers Of vision and
set TO Work to make up for lost time.
Princess Louise. Of England, wife Of the
marquis Of Lorne. is fond of occasionally
throwing on the restraints imposed upon her
oy her rank and Of visiting incognito those
friends TO whom she is strongly attached
Not long ago she thus favored a friend who
mas castle on the Isle Of Wight, and merry,
uenghtIul guest she proved to be. She took
active part in all amusPments, and was as
thoroughly at home in kitchen chat as in that
OF the drawing room. Her practical sugges-
lons OF domestic economy proved what Is
SAID OF her to be true-that she is most &C
compllshed housewife.
That veteran. but still charming actress.
Mrs. John Drew, recently had an experience
that was as unique as It was pleasant. She
was playing in a southern town. and accepted
an invitation to attend a reception. Her
hostess urged her to be sure to keep the en-
gagement because an old gentleman is to be

Drew SAYS she thought Of nothing else for
three days, even dreaming of the old gentle
man. Finally the day came, and at the door
or the house Mrs. Drew encountered her old
friend, Joseph Jefferson, who said to her
Just fancy, am to meet an old lady here to-

Cleveland's Democracy.
From the Baltimore Sun ODem. )

1t is interesting to note that Mr. Cleveland.
In his letter to Chauneey Z. Black president
OF the National Association of Democfatfc
Clubs, considers the government the people :
government. and believes that they have the
right to have II conducted in'accordance with
their ideas. He asks all true democrats to
ton and disgrace OF a failure to redeem the
pledges upon which our fellow eountrymen
intrusted us with the control OF their govern
ment' Their government, the people S
government not senatorial government or
boss government OF any sort. And it being
the people & government, he does not agree
with another statesman IN thinking the peo-
pie have no right to Indicate their wishes in
regard 10 II. or in believing that no notice
should be taken OF any suggestions coming
from any quarter, high or low. No Mr.
Cleveland is a democrat. He believes that
this is government OF the people for the
people and by the people. and that the Dem
ocrauc party will be sure OF success only so
long as it recognizes and is true to this prin-
ciple.

Judge Hines is reported as having told
his audience at Statesboro on Monday
that gold and silver never deviated in
value until 1873. Inasmuch as the Judge
says the tariff is a small matter, and that
future politics must be based on money, it
would perhaps be well for him to brush
up. his memory a bit on the
matter of the history of the
money metals. The fact is that only
six times since the establishment of the
government mint in 1872 to the present
day has the intrinsic value of the silver
dollar touched its mint or face value.
Those touches were made in the wears
1893, 1914, 1917, 1S43, 1886 and 1873
From 1893 to 1884, with the exception of
upward spurts in 1914 and 1917
the silver dollar was worth intrin-
sically less than its face value.
From 1884 TO 1873, with the exception of
two dips the silver dollar was worth in
trinsically more than its face value. A
diagram Of the deviations in value of gold
and silver for the last hundred years has
something of the outline of the splintered
end Of tree that has been twisted off its
stump by the wind.

George Washington Murray, the black
congressman from South Carolina, is A
stickler for form and all the perauisites
the law allows him. He has private
secretary that is even blacker than he
and that puts the darkness in the super
lative degree. Murray's perception of
the fitness of things is very fine. He
never condescends to travel around the
capitol for anything he may want for
himself or any of his constituents, but
invariably sends his ebon-hued private
secretary with a note couched in the most
exuberantrhetoric. There can hardly be
any question that Murray is enjoying
himself the best of any man in the Dis
trict of Columbia, or in official life in this
country, for that matter.

The movement is not a cause, but an
effect of causes which no good citizen can

order to dose it would be necessary for
him to severely arraign his party for its

postmaster general in President Arthur's

cabinet has been engaged in publishing
one of the brightest and best newspapers
in the country.
