A DANGEROUS RULE.

The rule adopted by the House Of
Representatives to ascertain the pres
ence of quorum is very great inn
provement upon the rule of the Fifty
first Congress. 1t provides an order ly
and judicial method of recording the
members present during the roll-call,
by means of tellers representing the
two sides of the questio n, instead OF
leaving the count to the unaided vision
of the Speaker. 1t is probable that if
such rule had been proposed when
Mr.. Reed was Speaker it would not
have excited the hostility which was
justly felt against Mr.. Reeds arbitrary
proceedings.
1t is also to be observed that this new
rule is adopted by thu votes of much
more than majority of all the men,
bers of the House-212 out Of 356-so
that there can be no question of its au-
thority. The Reed rule was voted up
on By less than quorum and could
not have been declared adopted except
by the Speakers assumption Of the
power it was designed to convey.
These two essential considerations
distinguish the present rule widely from
the so-called Reed rule, and illustrate
the difference between the right way
and the wrong way of reaching similar
results. At the same time the merit
or the dement, Of any rule lies in the
manner of its application, and Mr..
Reed is unquestionably responsible for
having forced upon the House the ac-
ceptance of a system which involves Il
serious departure from parliamentary
traditions and that needs to be admin
lstered with great discretion to guard
it from abuse.
The right of the minority, upon Sc
rlous occasion, to insist upon the affir-
NATIVE votes Of a full majority Of the
House for the enactment Of contested
measure is one thai ought to be guard
ed. The fact that the minority III the
present House has abused and peryert-
ed this rightto lndiscriminate obstruct-
ion IS not sufficient reason for its en-
tire abrogatlon, and while the new rule
does not invite the arbitrary exercise of
power that was made so easy under the
Reed rule, its operation must be watch
ed very carefully to prevent a return
hereafter to methods of legislation that
are opposed to the whole spirit of the
Constitution.-7he Times.

FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.

The building of the new railroad
ought to give an impetus to the growth
ofthis town and it will, provided there
is an effort made by our own citizens.
AS we have so often urged heretofore,
steps should be taken as soon as posi-
bic to procure better drinking water
either by an Artesian we'll or otherwise.
The matter of the we'll was thoroughly
ventilated last summer through these
columns and the opinion of scientists,
who were consulted, published. They
concurred in the opinion that the
scheme was practical, and the only OBJ
stacle was the want of money and a
lamentable want Of interest on the part
of those who should be most interested.
Pure water would add to the healthful-
ness of the town and promote its pros
perity. 1t is an unusual thing that a
place of the size of our county seat
should be without public pump or
spring where a thirsty way-farer can
procure drink of cool water, or a
wearied horse can be refreshed. This
should not be so. and we trust that a
concerted effort may be made soon to
remedy this defect. 1t would be a no.
BILE work for band OF mercy and we
are almost tempted to appeal to the
circle of Kings Daughters here to give
the movement start.
The future improvement Of the town
will also suggest the reclamation of the
waste land in its vicinity. While so
many engineers are in our midst would
it not be advisable for the local author
tiles to have an 1nvesti CATION made as
to the possibility of converting the
swamrs into fine lakes of fresh water,
which, if then filled with game fish,
would not only be beautiful but profit
able. Anestimate could be procured at
a small outlay, and the engineers may
be able to suggest some plan that would
be both practical and economical, and
year by year some hing could be done
in this direction out of the ordinary
revenues of the town. In view of the
fact thac the completion of the Chesa-
noaEa Roach road will hrinu MANY
thousands by and to Upper Marlboro,
and Of the further fact that our Agri-
cultural Fairs will attract large crowds
here, it should be mater Of local
pride to advance the town by adding
to its beauty and attractiveuess. Now
is the suspicious time, and we hope
soon TO see an interest awakened that
will eliminate in some practical work
for the public good.
