The season has started
in finely, the fish are biting we'll
and the early and enthusiastic fish
etmen have begun to nibble at our

The export trade of the United States
seems to be all right. February figures
of the Bureau of Statistics show the
largest exports of any February in the
history of our commerce, and also show
that the exports of the three months
ending with February were larger than
those of the corresponding period of any
earlier year. On the import side the
figures also show continuation Of the
growth which has characterized the
last two years, and the figures of the
eight months ending with February
suggest that the imports of the United
States In the fiscal year 1908 may ex-
coed 81, O0o,OOO,OO0, while the export fig
ures seem likely to exceed 81, 400, 900, 900.

Democrats Insist on the Presence Of
a Quorum.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The Demo
Gratis at their caucus during the morn
ing decided to filibuster for the re-
mainder of the session if the RepDa-
licans pressed the Wagener-ButleT
contested election case and it caused
considerable tension on both sides
when the house assembled. The lead
ers were alert and the fight began
with the drop of the gavel. After the
chaplain had delivered his invocation
the speaker was about to direct the
clerk to read the journal when Me
Richardson, the Democratic leader
interrupted him and made the point
of no quorum. "The Constitution re-
quires the presence of a quorum to
do business" said he.
The speaker acquiesced, but was
able to count only 157. ThereupoK
Mr.. Payne, the Republican leader
moved call of the house and upon
that motion the Democrats forced 4
roll call.
The call of the house was ordered
by vote of 252 to 0. The Democrats
then demanded the reading OF the
journal in full; also the bills and res0.
lutions introduced the previous day
When this was concluded further diiar
tory motions were made despite the
protest Of the Republican leaders

Mr.. Leilich declares that SmooI &c
a polygamist and has plural wife,
although he deems it inexpedient to
give the maiden name of the lady at
this time. His charge on this point
is as follows:
THAT the said Reed Smoot is a
polygamist and that since the admis-
sion of Utah into the union of states
he. although then and there having a
legal wife. married a plural wife in
the state of Utah, in violation of the
laws and compacts hereinbefore de-
scribed, and since such plural or
polygamous marriage said Reed Smoot
Has Lived and cohabited
with both his legal wife and his plural
wife in the state of Utah and else
where, as occasion offered; and that
the only record of such plural mar,
riage is the secret record made and
kept by the authorities of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
which secret record is in the exclusive
custody and control of the first presi-
dency and the quorum of the twelve
apostles of the said church, of which
the said Reed Smoot is one, and is
beyond the control or power of the
protestants. Your protestant respect
fully asks that the senate of the Unit
ed States, or it's appropriate commit
tee, compel the first presidency and
the quorum of the twelve apostles and
the said Reed Smoot to produce such
secret record for the consideration of
the senate. Your protestant says that
he is advised by counsel that it is in
expedient at this time to give further
particulars concerning such plural
and it's results, or the place
in which it was solemnized, or the
maiden name of the plural wife,"
Mr.. Leilich also asserts that "Presi-
dent Joseph F. Smith, the president
of the Mormon church, is living in
open polygamy and has had a child
born to him by his plural wife as late
as 1S98"
And also that President Lorenzo
Snow lived and died in the practice
of polygamy and polygamous cohabi-
tation, and that his plural wife, Min
ME Jensen Snow, bore him child as
late as the winter of 1861"

six-feet-and-over Quaker City Re
serves, who carry canes instead of
clubs. He has his post at Fifteenth
and Chestnut street, by which Mr..
Cassatt has walked for years when go
ing from his banking house or the rail-
road office to bis home on Rittenhouse
Square. In this way the financier and
the policeman became acquainted, and
then friends, years ago.
Every tirne O'Loughlin is on duty he
never fails to salute as Mr.. Cassatt
approaches, and the latter always
stops to chat with the bluecoat, who,
before he came to this country just af-
ter the Civil War, was a member
of the Queens body guard, discarding
that honor because objection was
raised to his attending mass of the Ro-
man Catholic Church after he had ac-
companied the Queen to services of the
Episcopal Church.
SO close is the Intimacy between
these two men that O'Loughlin, who
is proud of his newspaper sobriquet of
policeman-poet, often has Mr.. Cassatt
criticise his productions. And Mr..
Cassatt has been seen quite a number
of times reading them and suggesting
changes here and there while leaning
against lamp post.
His Love of Horses.
Around Broad Street Station, in
which Mr.. Cassatt has his offices, it
is said that he works longer and hard
err than when he was an ambitious
and poorly paid rodman of the road in
1861, and that not another official in
the big terminals spends more time
at his tasks. Although he is in the
sixties, Mr.. Cassatt thinks nothing of
staying at his desk twelve hours
day, a period from four to five hours
longer than the thousands Of clerks
under him labor. OF course, he does
not do this constantly, but often enough
for those who are acquainted with his
habits of work to take it as some
thing not in the least out of the usual
run of things.
Mr.. Cassatt possesses the ability to
keep a half dozen secretaries and
stenographers busy taking simultane-
Gus directions and dictation, and in
this way he runs through an enormous
amount of detail in a very short time.
But once he leaves his desk Mr..
Cassatt throws off all thought of rail-
reading in intense enjoyment of his
hobby-horses. Nothing else pleases
him so much as to get behind a spank
ing team or to run out to Chester
brook" his stock farm at Berwyn, and
spend half a day among the animals
he loves. And once one sees him feed
ing his favorites apples and Jumps of
sugar out of his hand, one forgets the
mighty railroad monarch and sees
only the man standing out strongly
before him.
