WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL IS, 1s94

No WONDER the republican members
OF the L. s. House OF Representatives
manifested their approval of the adop-
ton Of a rule for counting quorums yes

plause. Practically was their own,
the Reed" the Gear" the business
rule the rule the democrats had pre-
viously denounced in unstinted terms
as tvrannous, and as an instrument OF
autocratic. rather than of democratic
government. They were naturally de
lighted to soc the democrats eat their
own words, and swallow with apparent
relish rule by which, in the 5lst Con
sress. fairly elected democratic repre-
sentatives were turned out Of their
seats, to make places for republican
negroes who were not elected, accom-
panied by the republican cry of GIVE
us another niggerr' But injurious as
was the adoption of the republican
rule 10 the reputation of the democrats
who supported it, it was less so than
the object OF jhat rule, which was to
save themselves from the legal fine for
absentecism. The rigid exaction of that
fne would haze always secured a demo
cra.icquornm out Of democratic major
ity of seventy or eighty; but to save the
paltry sum of $ll for every day they
may be absent, they went back" on
all they had said on the subject, and
thanked their enemies for teaching
them how, and for assisting them 10
do so. But modern democratic con
eressmen are not like those of former
and better times.

A NORTHERN republican newspaper
says "In ancient days the man who
saved the life Of Roman citizen was
entitled to wear, rs = badge of honor, a
laurel wreath. The soldiers of the
Union saved the life of the nation. :"
No southern man objects to being taxed

even though disabled in war that I'M
necessarily devastated and impoverish-
ed the South, nor would he object to
laurel wreaths for the beats, bummers,
and malingerers, if the North likes them.
but, if he be reasonable, he does object
to being taxed to give the latter large
pensions, ana he would thank any par
ty that would relieve him from such
fraudulent taxation. The war has been
over for twenty-nine years, and yet the
pension expense is the greatest the peo-
pie of Tie country have to bear Near
~ all the Confederate soldiers are dead,

their products in foreign countries a
great deal cheaper than they do at home.
1t mas now been discovered that the
owners of the Michigan copper mines
do likewise. And all this. it need not
be forgotten, in the face of the stridu-
lous cry of the republican protectionists,
that the chief purpose of the high tariff
is to protect American, from the pauper
labor of Europe : Frauds are commit
ted in the name OF protection to Amer

Senator, Mr.. Smith of New Jersey, has
declared his intention of opposing the

is the most popular and best part of the

be more of a republican measure than
either the war tariff bill, or the bill pro-
posed by the republican tariff commits
sion, if it lie eliminated, the bill would

When the vote was taken, forty-scven demo-
Gratis voted against it, but it secured every re-
publican vote and was carried by vote of
212 to AZ. The populsts did not vote on the
proposition After the adoption OF the rule
it only required few minutes to straightcn
ont the parliamentary tangle in which the
