at last learned something. BY decree OF
caucus Mr.. Speaker Crisp and his fellows
on the committee have been instructed 10
bring in & new rule whereby the pres
ence of a quorum can be sscertained and
counted. When Mr.. Reed was Speaker
Of the Fifty-frst Congress be was con-
fronted by a Democratic minority that
would sit in their seats and refuse to vote
when a quorum was required, thus OBJ
structiug all business to count all those
that were present in the House, whether
voting or not, and thus ascertain that
Quorum was present. This action oi
speaker Reed was then, and has ever
since been savagely denounced by the
Democrats, although the Supreme Court
has decided that It was entirely con-
stitutional. The absurdity Of q member
sitting in his chair and being recognized
and voting one minute and then the
next minute, without moving, declining
TO vote and insisting that be could not
be recognized and be counted as present.
was so manifestly absurd that the whole
world, always excepting the Bourbon
Democrats, laughed it to scorn- Rather
than to agree, however, to adopt the
common sense rule of counting all those
yisiblv present, the Democratic leaders
persisted in their folly but we've finally
driven TO the wall by Mr.. Reed and 9TH
er Republicans insisting that they must
produce the quorum from their own par
ty. out Of the nearly one hundred ma
iority they hare in the House, and by
adopting their tactics, refusing to vote
and demanding quorum on all ques-
tions, finally drove them into adopting a
rule 10 count all members present IN the
House. Opposition to the rule was fierce
and protracted, and every Imaginable
device was suggested to avoid the humil-
iating necessity Of adopting s. II" " but n
nally, in an unusual sp9sm Of common
sense, the caucus ordered the bringing in
OF the rule, and thus have the Reed
rules " been vindicated.
