bound some of the time last week. 1t
is making very slow progress and is
suffering from dissentions and de-

After four years Of silly and inef
fective opposition to the rule estab
lished by Speaker Tom Reed, the
democrats in the House have been
compelled to adopt rule which en-
ables them to count and declare a
quorum when a visible quorum is
present in the House. And now all
that fuss and opprobrium, which was
attempted on and about Mr.. Reed,
comes back upon them as q boone
rang. The lamented Garfield was
wont to say that the democrats would
always be found camping on republi-
can burying grounds within five years
after they had been occupied by re-
publicans. 'ECzar'' Reed has lived to
see his own vindication by his impla
cable political enemies.
The advertising agency of N. w.
Aver & Son, Of Philadelphia, is un-
questionably the largest and probab-
ly the best equipped Of any in the
United States. 1t has more and larger
patrons than any other, and, taking
one thing with another, it is question
able whether they are not entitled to
the credit Of securing for their pat
rons better service than can be count
ed on from any other. 1t should be,
and doubtless is, a great source Of
pride and satisfaction to Mr.. Aver and
Mr.. Mckinney that they have been
able, while remaining in Philadelphia,
to build up larger advertising bust
ness than has ever been secured be
fore by any advertising agency in
New York or elsewhere.
