waterproof coat on, and the rain stream
ing from his regulation hat, stood Col
Bonesteel, directing their operations, and
insisting that the tent be taken down, be-
cause IL did not exactly square with the
compass, and re-raised properly.
The men were cross, as they always
were, at having to raise an officers tent
during a storm, and croSser still because
of the Colonel's rigid requirements. Be
sides, he was q stranger to them, and sol
diers have an instructive hatred OF being
ordered about by a strange officer. es
pecially one with curt, Regular Army
manners, not improved at all by his un-
comfortable surroundings.
1t was therefore not remarkable that
the tent should fall several times, that
the men should become entangled in the
canvas and ropes, that there should be
much bad language and several fights
among them, and that it should look like
eternity would come before the tent was
raised.
The Colonel had other men at work

the notes the Colonel gave him, making

The Colonel had a problem before him.

A CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION RAISED


Although the order suspending the two
South Carolina Senators was passed by
unanimous vote, when the test came the
Democrats in a body insisted that they
had the right to be heard and vote under
the following provisions of the Constitu-
tion:
'The Senate of the United States shall
he composed of two Senators from each
State. chosen by the Legislature thereof,
for six years; and each Senator shall have
one vote.-Section 3, Article 1.
No State, without it's consent, shall be
deprived of its equal suffrage in the Sem
ate.-ArticIe v"
President Protein Frye had directed the
Clerk to omit the names of the two SEN
atOFs from the roll call, and the crisis
came upon the vote upon the Philippine
Amendments. This instantly brought all
the Democrats to their feet with protests,
but the Republicans met them with cries
of Regular Order" and Senator Frye de-
clined to entertain any appeal from his
rulings. The vote was taken without the
two Senators, and then there was a dis
cussiOn of the matter. The Republicans
insisted that the two Senators, being in
contempt, it was manifestly absurd that
they be allowed to retain all their privi-
leges notwithstanding. This would take
away all power from the Senate to pro-
tect itself and maintain order and make
the contempt Il mere farce
The Democrats contended that the ex-
clusion was revolutionary and dangerous;
that it placed in the hands of the majority
power to at any time get rid of trouble
sCme opponents; that it was in violation Of
the Constitution. which commanded that
each State should be represented by two
Senators, with 4 vote for each; that the
Senators were in the position of men un-
der arrest, and could not be punished un-
til their case had been tried by the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections
Tillman made Il formal protest against
the Sovereign State of South Carolina"
being deprived of his vote.
The action of the President protein was
sustained by a vote of 46 to %, Yelling
ton voting with the Republicans, and
Jones. of Nevada, and Mason, of Illinois,
with the Democrats.
The Constitutional provisions upon
which the Democrats rely have never
been taken as literally as they would i'm
ply. In few Congresses have all the
States been fully represented. and quite
recently Senators have been refused seats
because they were appointed by the Gov
crnors. after the Legislatures failed 10
elect. Senator Quay was one of these.
The State of Delaware was for time
without any Senator.
The preliminary test vote of 46 to %
comes near the necessary two-thirds to
eXrel.

with their limp. doughy hardtack.
ST made strong effort to get himself
into more presentable shape, that he
might go to headquarters, and get some
idea as to the program for the day. He
succeeded in washing some of the CRIME
off his face and hands, in spite of the
coldness of the water.
I'm have to go this way" he said
finally. "This is no day for dress-parade
style"
When he returned he reported:
'The Adjutant says that orders from
Corps Headquarters halt the march until
the rain lets up. The regiment is to re-
main here, and do the best it can. There's
no help for it. We can't go ahead, nor
fall back. The cricks before and behind
are over their banks, and running wide.
AS for us, we can do as we please; we
can stay here. or go on, if we can find
any way to go on. or see any chance to
better ourselves. | never saw the Adju-
tant appear so near tuckered out before.

policy requires that they stand by him.
His offense is fragrant, but they may re-
fuse to expel him unless McLaurin is also
expelled.
While McLaurin's offense was a very
serious one, his provocation was enor-
nous, and this will be taken into cOnsid-
GRAFTON. He certainly came out of the af-
fair more creditably than his antagonist,
and his course will rebound to his credit
in the South. He is physically a much
weaker man than Tillman, but so far as
the fight progressed he was ahead far
ahead, and had the first blood" to his
credit.
The Senate is largely controlled by pre-
cedent. but the only precedent of any
value was the collision between Senators
Benton and FoOte, in 1850. when Foote
drew n revolver The Senate Committee
on Privileges and Elections then consid-
cred the provOcation, and decided that the
Senator's had suffered enough from pub
lie condemnation, and recommended that
no farther action be taken, which was ac-
cepted.

WE have had many absurd "taiI-twist-
ing speeches in the House of Representa-
tiyes, but nothing ever quite so ridiculous
as some persons in the Canadian parlia-
ment proposing to fight the United States.
OF course, there have always been some
people over there who have the bad taste
not TO admire US, but think Of this quite
too "dotty' person:
mfr. S. f. Gourlay, of Pietou, Nova
Scotia, struck fighting attitude. and
stated that he agreed with MIR. Bourassa.
although lie had never done SO before. He
accused Britain Of always sacrificing Can
ada in its negotiations with the United
States, and rather than submit he and his
family would go into the trenches and
stay there for two years, if need be. to
fight for the rights Of Canada. If il is
necessary he said, TO fight the Yankees
we will fght within 24 hours, and after
six months we will capture their Capital
and annex their country to Canada.''
This, too, while some 100000 British
troops in South Africa continue to allow
about 5000 Boers TO play horse with
them. We trust that the Boston people
will continue calm enough not to send
their valuables back into the interior
again.

SENATOR WELLINGTON has been as
serting that President Mckinley secured
his vote in ratification of the Spanish
Treaty by definite promise that he had
no intention Of holding the Philippines
longer than TO restore order and prevent
the Impression Of another power. Upon
this understanding Wellington voted for
tie treaty, which could not otherwise
have been ratified. He claimed that Sen
ator HlcComas was with him at the time
the promise was made. Senator McComas
replied by denying that any such promise
was ever made, and said that Wellington
only thought Of it long after when he
was preparing TO desert the Republican
party and 90 over TO Bryan. Wellington
resented the word desert" and said that
if he were anywhere else than in the SEN
ate he would say that McComas uttered
"a cowdrcly and malicious falsehood." He
was promptly called to order by Senator
Hoar, and the President protein ordered
him to take his seat.

THERE is a provision of the Constitu-
ton which has not yet been made prom
inent, that will have a strong bearing on
the Tillman-McLaurin case. 1t is the one
which gives each House the power to
"punish members for disorderly conduct" :"
Punishment" can be inflicted by a ma
jority vote, and it rests with the majority
what that punishment shall consist of.
THE present program of the majority
of the Senate seems pretty clearly out
lined. 1t is to hold the Senators in con-
tempt, and debarred of all the privileges
of the Senate until the Committee on
Privileges and Elections can deliberately
study the case. by the light of all the
preeedents in parliamentary history. This
may mean that they will be seen and
head no more this sussiOn.
