A Congress Without Printed Rules

1t is singular thing said that popular
Virginia lawyer. Judge p. w. Strother of
Giles county, to the Washington Post. that
the confederate congress did not have a SIN
gle printed copy of the rules which governed
that body, so far as have been able to ascer-
tain. OF course the representatives of the
southern states at Richmond were hound by
rules Just as much as the federal congress to-
day, but for some reason they were not put in
tyne.
Il remember very we'll In f665 when a mem
ter OF The State Senate, that Hon. John B .
Baldwin, who was speaker Of the House of
Delegates, fashioned the rules of the House
exactly after those used in the confederate
congress in which he had been representa-
tive. these rules provided for counting a
quorum by counting those present VINO re-
fused to vote and recording them in the mega
tive.
Il am almost sure thet Il was an imitation of
the confederate plaa that Hon Randolph
Tucker proposed when member of congress
in 1880 He then offered a quorum counting
system exactly like that in use in Richmond
during the days of the rebellion"

Congressman Turner's entrance into
the senatorial race will make that event
decidedly more interesting than it would
have been otherwise. He will not be
able, for awhile, to make any personal
efforts in Georgia in his own behalf, but
as soon as his congressional duties will
permit he expects to come down and take
part in the campaign. With so much ex-
cellent senatorial timber at hand, it is a
pity that Georgia cannot get a contract
for supplying all of the states that will
need senator's this fall.

The demand of the people of New York
city for a lower rate for telephone service
has met with a response that will intro
duce a novelty. The company will, on
and after June ], establish system
whereby subscriber may pay for his
telephoning pretty much as he pays for
his water or his gas-by measure The
price for service has heretofore been at
the average rate Of $24O per year. Under
the new system anybody who will guar
antee TO pay for ] 600 calls year at the
rate Of - cents per call. may have a tele-
phone put in. If the subscriber calls
more than 1000 times during the year a
graduated rebate will be made on the
calls above 900 up to the numberof 4. 900,
at which point the minimum charge of D
cents per call will be reached. Under
this system, it will be seen, it is not only
possible that very busy business man
might, but probable that he would. run
his telephonine bill above the original
charge OF $50 Il month. Small subscrib-
ers, however, viii be benefited.

ably Gen. Tracy, were present, n move
ment was inaugurated to urge the nomi-
nation of State Senator Saxton, of New
York, for governor this fall, to cut adrift
from the Harrison, Reed and Mckinley
booms and elect SaXton by such major
ity that he will become presidential tim
ber.N The plan of campaign, according
to the faithful chronicler, is for the boom
to be started in the west and gradually
work its way east Senator Saxton has
been republican politician in New York
for a number of years, and was instru-
mental in having the state adopt ballot
reform.

Unworthv of Confdenos.

The republicans of Pennsylvania are
largely in the majority, ami it would be
naturally expected that their declaration
of principles would be strong and clear.
Theold time leaders of the party must
have read with amazement and shame
the platform adopted at the state conven-
tion of the party last Wednesday, 1t con-
tains not one single declaration calculated
to inspire confidence and respect. 1t con-
sists almost wholly of a violent attack
upon the democracy. If the party were
in the minority, it could not have made a
more pitiful exhibition of weakness.
The money plank is something that
must make those republicans who have
always boosted that their party is a
sound money party weep with mortifca-
ton. 1t leans toward sound money, but
its terms are so indefinite and uncertain
that it is not an easy matter to determine
what it does mean.
But, as a matter of fact, the convention
hardly dared to speak out squarely and
forcibly for sound money Both of the
senator's are on record as favoring the
silver standard, and an emphatic express
sion in favor of sound money would have
been a condemnation of them.
1t is probable that Senator Quay dicta-
ted the platform. He could hardly be ex-
pected to condemn himself, even to put
his party upon a higher plane. If the
national Republican party is as unworthy
of respect and confidence as the Republi-
can party of Pennsylvania has shown it.

Our dispatches of yesterday told how
it came about that the government
building at jackson park, Chicago, which
the Atlanta people have been trying to
secure for their exposition, was sold TO a
Chicago contractor for So, $50 Comment
ing on the fact of the sale, and evidently
having no other facts bearing upon the
subject, the New York Mail and Express
says: yet the south has demanded the
building, and the appropriation commit
tee have determined to buy it back and
pay S25, 900 for it. Even though the
treasury is in a most depleted state, the
Secretary of the Treasury sanctions the
useless expenditure of So, 900 simply to
please the south" The statement that
the committee have determined to buy
the building back will probably be as
great news to the committeeman as to
others who have been watching the mat
ter. The assertion that a useless
waste of money! is to be made simply to
please the south is in full keeping with
the character of the paper that makes it.
The Mail and Express was one of the
most importunate of all the beggars for
government pap for the Chicago fair, yet
it appeals toprejudice against southern
enterprise of similar character.

In 1891, Mr.. j. Sloat Fassett, of New
York, was member of a great republi-
can legislative committee investigating
the New York city government, was a
mem Der of the state Senate and leading
republican politician The republican
bosses thought they saw in him good
presidential timber, if he could show up
Tammany's rottenness and get into the
gubernatOrial chair upon an anti-Tam-
many platform. So they put MIR Fassett
up, and he took off his coat, literally
speaking and sailed in. The unmerciful
trouncing that Fassett got, and the utter
humiliation of his presidential boom, are
matters of political history In 1894 Mr..
John T. Saxton. of New York, is a mem
her of republican legislative committee
investigating the New York city govern
ment, is a member of the state Senate
and a leading republican politician. 1t is
alleged that Boss Plat and others think
they see in Mr.. SaXton good presidential
timber il he can show up Tammany's
rottenness and get into the guberuatorial
chair upon an anti-Tammany platform
The parallel between Fassett and Saxton
will be continued and concluded if the
republican bosses follow out the purpose
that the New York Mail and Express at
tributes to them.

The representatives, as the House,
seem to have regained the common sense
they, as the committee of the whole, had
temporarily lost. The committee of the
whole, by decisive majority, voted to
starve the civil service commission to
death. The House, by an equally deci-
siye vote, concluded not to starve the
commission. The action Of the commit

ne Riee sehedule Not settled.

Notwithstanding the fact that leading
members of the finance committee have
given assurances that the rice schedule
would be permitted to remain as fixed by
the House, it is by no means certain that
the duty will not be reduced. The finance
committee, no doubt, will abandon the
amendments it made to the schedule as
received from the House, but there is
ground for fearing that the Senate will
insist upon adopting those or similar
amendments. The ground for these fears
is the efforts the importers are
making for a lower duty They
have great deal of influence
and the fact that they induced the finance
committee to agree to reduce the duty on
uucleaned rice andi paddy without any
notice to the rice planters shows they in
tend to use it.
Dan Talmage's Sons are among those
who are against the rice planters in the
mattero the rice duty Being importers,
their interests are antagonistic to those
of the rice planters. In view of the fact.
however, that they handle great deal of
domestic rice, it was hardly believed they
would be active in opposing the interests
Of the rice planters. But their communica-
ton that recently appeared in The
Commercial Bulletin shows pretty
clearly that they are willing to
go to the length of making the
fight for a lower duty on sectional
grounds. In that communication they
charge that the southern rice planters are
anxious to injure a northern industry 1t
never entered the minds of the southern
planters to iniure northern industry.
All they have sought for is to prevent
their own industry from being hopelessly
crippled. In view of the fact that Dan
Talmage's Sons have always pretended to
be good friends of the producers of domes-
tic rice, this charge they make against the
planters is a rather surprising one.

bang against rock. and before he had
time to think it upset, dropping him
into the drink" He grabbed hold of
the upset outfit and began kicking in
the water to effect a landing ON the
nearest shore. But the current was
swift, the boat unwieldy and he was
unable to make any Roadway except
down stream. For two miles the craft
paid no heed to the struggling man and
persisted in its downward course. Hof-
mann at last became exhausted, caught
cramp and dropped from the boat to
the bottom of the river. This was near
South Park. Some men on the shore
caught sight of the drowning man.,
jumped into a skiff near at hand and
fastened to the rescue. They tished
Hoffman, from the bottom, resuscltated
and conveyed him to the west side
shore, from which point the Ducas
street patrol wagon conveyed him to his
home.
Hoffman, was seen in his bed, where
he lay in limp condition, Just able to
whisper. He said that he went to the
bottom of the river, secretly bidding
good-by to the world. He was happily
surprised to find himself at home in
bed and on the road to recovery.
