Holding Their Feet to the Fire.

BY an ingenius and mirth-pro-
vOking contrivance, Mr. Williams.
the House minority leader, last
Wednesday gave the country an
other object lesson upon the abso-
lutte servihty Of the House ma jOrity.
Presenting a petition signed by 164
Democrats, the full party strength
with the exception Of two absentees,
asking that the Speaker recognize
some Representative who would
move the passage, under suspen-
sion of the rules, of some one of the
pending bills to remove the tariff ON
wood pulp, Mr. Williams invited
thirty Republicans to join in the
request and thus constitute a ma
jorty of the House.
The Mississippian pointed out
that number of the bills upon the
subject had been introduced by Re
publicans, who stood pledged to
support them. He recalled the
Speakers promise, earlier in the
session, to give heed to the request
of a majority of the House. If, for
partisan reasons, the Republicans
preferred to present a petition Of
their own, the same end would be
secured and the country would no
less surely be granted the relief it
had asked
The invitation to do something"
passed unheeded by the Republi-
cans. The majority members dis
played an extreme backwardness
about coming forward. Not one
dared to invite the Speakers wrath
by affixing his signature to the pc
tition, and the opportunity offered
passed unaccepted. We are told
that the lay figures ON the Republi-
can side had the grace to grin
sheepishly at their own discontinue
and at the sallies of the witty Mis-
sjssippian, but party dicipline pre-
vailed.
The incident has its serious as
we'll as funny side. 1t was one of
those exhibitions that the Snowman
would describe as furnishing both
education and amusement. 1t has
emphasized the fact that the mem
bers of the majority have become
so obsessed by the worship of the
party fetch that they are deaf to
the country's call; mere lay figures
who do the bidding of the idol in
the chair in all matters which even
remotely touch party lines or party
I issues. 1t explains why the House
is fast losing its hold upon public
favor and its right to be called the
popular branch of the legislature
1t also explains why many Repub
hcans fear the loss of the Houst
control at the next election, anC
why they have 90 richly deserved
rebuke and defeat at the hands o
/ the voters whose wishes and appeal
have been 50 steadily disregardeC
throughout the present session.

President ii. E. Reynolds.

The Dispatch confesses that item
tertained a very large skepticism
concerning the immediate building
of the Aberdeen & Tombigbee
Valley Railroad, not of its ultimate
construction, for it is such an adj
mirable railroad project that il will
sooner or later attract the eye OF
capital and secure the coveted line.
But of the immediate building ol
the road by Mr.. Reynolds and his
associates we confess that we have
had little faith in the enterprise.
The chief cause Of this doubt was
and is the condition of the money
market, enterprises Of merit every
where being paralyzed for the lack
Of funds which are not available.
notwithstanding this apparent seri-
Gus obsta Gle, and without being in
the contidenc Of these gentlemen, it
looks like Mr. Reynolds has sue
cceded in interesting men If wealth
and industrial prominence in his
enterprise. The fact that he has
enlisted their interest to the point
that they are willing To send experts
here to overlook the situation with
a view of undertaking the work is a
feat worthy of note and one which
entities Mr.. Reynolds to the plaud-
its OF all good citizens and it is an
accomplishment of which he may
well be proud.
No doubt these gentlemen who
are to pass upon the project viii
find everything as he has represent
ed. The country through which
the road Is to be built is a fine one,
rich in every resource, the people
who are to be tributary to it are
ready and anxious to support the
road and will do everything in their
power to aid in its construction
and once undertaken it viii prove
one of the finest pieces of tributary
railroad property in the South.
In considering this project one Is
forced to the conclusion that it is
but to be link in a great system
Of railroad which is seeking an en-
trance to the sea either at Pensaco-
la or Mobile No doubt once con
structed it will be linked with other
roads and made a great trunk line
TO transport the commerce of the
country and it is in this belief thai
we are feeling jubilant over the
prospect this morning. Another
trunk line, another system, means
/ twenty five thousand people 70
