COUNTING A QUORUM.

A great deal has been said about
counting quorum in the House Of Rep
resentatives. This does not mean SIM
ply the speaker must ascertain whether
there is majority Of the membership of
the House present. 1t has come to have
q peculiar Specification. Ever since our
congress was established with the ex-
ception of the congress over which Reed
presided, it has been recognized as q
rule Of the House that quorum was
meant voting quorum and such has
been for ages and is still the accepted
doctrine in the British House of Com
mons. Under this rule tits always neces-
sary for the government party to have a
quorum out Of their own party present,
otherwise the opposition can delay legis-
lation by simply remaining in their
seats and refusing tovote, thus leaving
the House without q quorum. While
.this rule has caused much difficulty both

ON Tuesday last motion was intro
duced in the House of Commons to es-
tablish local legislature for Scotland.
Amendments were introduced providing
for like legislatures for Wales and
England: This would seem to show
that the Home Rule movement is tend
ing toward imperial federation. Under
system of this kind England, Ireland,
Scotland and Wales would have local
legislatures and the imperial parliament
would represent the empire. One of the
difficulties in formulating Home Rule
bill for Ireland has been the question of
disposing of the Irish representatives in
parliament. Gladstone's last bill pro-
vided that the Irish members should
still sit in parliament but only vote on
imperial questions. But the difficulty
would then be in determining what were
imperial questions. The new scheme
would do away with these difficulties for
in federation all questions coming be-
fore Parliament would be imperial ques-
ti0ns.

IT may not be good politics to speak
about the A. P. A., but that traitorous
organization is playing smash with Demo
cratic majoritles all over the Union, says
the Western Waterman. In Connecti-
cut, at the late election, they decided
every contest. The Hartford Times says
there was an open coalition between the
Republicans and the A. p. A. Speaking
of the defeat of the Democratic candi-
date for mayor it says: :"Mr. McGovern
stood with his party, He was active in
carrying on the work of the A. P. A. in
his special onslaug ht on his friend, City
Clerk Higgins, who was defeated by 1873.
City Clerk Higgins falls outside the
trenches. After all these years of faith
ful service be goes under. The Repub
licans were aided at all points of the line,
from mayor down to marshal with a
possible exception in one or possibly two
cases), by the A. P. A., but the special
battle of the organization was against
Higgins, because he is Catholic"

TIE death of Gen. Slocum and Sena-
tor Vance brings to the mind great
deal Of the history Of the past. Both
men were prominent Democrats at the
time the civil war broke out. Both
were West Pointers. One sided with the
Union, the other with the Confederacy.
Both entered the army at the beginning
of hostilities. Gen. Slocum was wounded
at Bull Run but served through the war
with great distinction. Senator Vance
soon left the army to be elected governor
Of North Carolina. At the time Of his
death he had the reputation Of being the
most popular man in North Carolina
After the war both men continued to
affiliate with the Democratic party which

III vitality and comprehen9yeness.

and labor dependent upon it is thrown
out Of employment. Moreover, labor
must live and since it is not drawing siglg
wages it must tax itself in order to live.
The whole community suffers and labor
itself suffers the most. Weare in accord
with the end to be gsined by strikes be-
cause we believe fair wages are beneficial
to employer aud employe, but are
strikes the only method labor has in its
power to obtain redress? Surely not.
Labor can through legislation, public
opinion snd above ell through arbitra-
ton do great deal more than by strikes
and with less injury to itself and the
community OF which it is part.

Is not open to still greater objection.
The rule that has just been adopted pro
vides substantially fprs oop1ting man
who is present md does not vote justyaa
though he had voted. This amounts
practically to allowing minority to trans.
act business, for those who ara counted
and not voting take no part in the pro-
ceedings. Suppose, for instance, in the
Fifty first Congress there were only q
dozen Republicans present and all the
Democrats, the speaker could then by
counting all the Democrats present and
pass any measure with the handful Of
Republicans, if the Democrats did not
see fit to vote in opposition. That Of
course is an improbable case BUTT shows
to what extent the doctrine could be
carried. Suppose again that the presi.
dent should veto q measure and the at
tempt should be made to pass the meas
.ure over his veto. Suppose there is
about an equal vote on each side bat the
speaker favors passage of the measure
He could by counting sufficient mum
Der of the opposition pass the measure.
But the Constitution Of the United
States says that it must be two-thlrds
vote by aye and nay. In this case it is
supposed there was not two+thirds of the
vote recorded. How then is the presi-
dent to know that the measure was
passed over his veto. The only record
which can bind him is the recorded vote
which does not amount to quorum.
How then can the. measure be said to
have passed? The House can make
rules to bind itself but not the president.
Here again the rule leads to difficulty.
Yet the Democrats have been compelled
to adopt it in order to transact business.
The cause of all this difficulty arises
from the fact that from forty to fifty
congressman are continually absent neg
lecting the business of the country, and
thus enabling the Republicans to force
the odious rule upon the Democrats A
little moro seriousness on the part OF
our representatives in looking after the
interest Of the country void do away
with tilibusterjng and obviate the neces-
sity Of recurring to such summary rules.
But on the whole the end justifes the
means in the present instance and the
country only hopes that business may
proceed without further delay.

not understand why the senators do not
comprehend the feslinR Of the people
which isvealhng for prompt action on the
taEiff. &. Business interests all over the
country are waiting upon tho pleasure OF
our august Senate. When the silver
question was under discussion senatorial
courtesy stood in the way Of speedy &C
ton. Later the business of the Supreme
Court of the nation was made to suffer
for the same farcical reason.
The English have 2 way that, when the
Lords are obstinate end resist reform, Of
calling upon the crown to create new
peers enough to outvote the obstruction
lists. We not only create new senators
but we remove the old ones. The knowl-
edge of that fact If nothing else should
bring light and activity to many SEN
ators.
The Democrats Of Minnesota have
spoken in no uncertain terms, the Dem
ocratic press all over the country is pay
ing it's respects to Mr.. Hill and the few
who follow him in disregarding the
pledges upon which they were elected
The Senate can place life and confidence
into business. The Democrats of that
body should forget local interests and
fulfill the pledges of the party. They
should discard senatorial courtesy and
adopt business methods which are in
keeping with the American spirit. Ger
tain it is that the Senate is falling in
popular estimation and many are doubt
ing the wisdom OF it's further existence.

SATURDAY, APRIL 21. 1894.
DISREGARD THEM.

The attitude of the Catholic clergy to-
wards the secret anti Catholic organiza-
ton now SO much talked of is indeed
conmendable and worthy of their high
calling. They have paid little attention
to all the noise and treated the move
rnent with that contempt it deserves.
Nothing would have pleased the ill-ad
vised leaders of the later Knownothing'
ism better than to have drawn the Cath
olic clergy into the senseless discussion.
1t would have impaired responsibility to
the movement and degree of import
ance to it's originators which they can
not now have. Nothing could be more
useless than to engage in controversy
with class of people whose stock in
trade is not arguments but falsehoods,
whose methods OF proceeding is not by
reason but by abuse and whose aim is
not truth but discontinue Of opponents
It is altogether probable that too much
Importance has been ascribed to the re-
ligious question in politics. Catholics
need fear little from such un-American
and unprogressive movements as from
time to time spring up in our midst. For
the question of political federation of re-
ligious beliefs has been settled for the
American people long ago. a liberation
OF fanaticism in these times is the most
effective way of disposing OF it. Why
Catholics should go to meetings where
they expect to be abused is hard to ex-
PLATA. Catholic laymen should treat the
A. P. A. movement with the same con-
tempt that the clergy do and it would
die for want OF recognition, The Chi.
cego Inter Ocean has stigmatized the A.
P. A. organization the "Bogy man of
American Politics." the significance of
the name being that it is more noise
than anything else.
To the A. P. A. movement has been
ascribed the defeat of the Democratic
party in many of the recent elections.
This we believe is wholly unwarranted
and is giving an Importance to the or
ganizstion which it does not possess.
For instance, it is said that the crushing
defeat of the Democrats in Rhode ISL
and was brought about by the organiza-
ton, but it would be much nearer the
truth to say that it was brought about
by Democratic dissatisfaction and Repub
lican money. There may be some few
peculiar questions such as the "school
question:" on which Catholics may hon
eetly differ from their fellow citizens,
where controversy Is healthful; for the
interest of the general public is always
aroused when mems views are contrasted.
But controversy is out of place with q
man who objects to fellow citizen hold
ing office because that fellow citizen is q
member of particular church. We
venture to say that the silent contempt
OF the great body Of voters will effectu-
ally squelch all such semi-religious and
political organizations as the A. p. A.
