RANDALL as A FILIBUSTER.
He Knew How Far DiIatOry Tactics
Should BE Carried.

From the Philadephia Inquirer.
There is very general notion in this
country that it was Speaker Reed who
first put a stop to hlibustering. This is
an error, since the first man to stop it
was that arch-filibuster. Samuel J.
Randall IN the session of 1S14-75 Mr..
Randall stood at his desk continuously
for seyenty-two hours and held up the
House on an important measure until the
Republican majority gave In. This was
possible under the rules as they then eX-
isted. In the next Congress Mr.. Randall
was Speaker, and the rules we're the
same, When it became apparent that the
electoral commission would seat Hayes, a
lot of TecalcitTant Democrats in the
House concluded to hold up all business
and prevent the final canvass OF the
votes in joint session.
Those fiery days are forgotten by all
but the Older generation, but at the time
excitement was intense The zth Of
March was approaching, and a few DEM
ocrats, led by Springer, of Illinois,
thought Il would be an easy matter by
prolonged roll calls to prevent a joint ses-
sion OF the House and Senate 70 COM
plete the count They imagined that
Speaker Randall would play in.o their
hands, because he was the most success
ful hlibuster OF his time. If he alone
had been able TO hold lp the House for
three days. It was concluded that twenty
men could hold Il up until the expiration
Of the session. II was while such meth
DDS were in progress that Randall called
a halt He refused to put any motion
which he considered dilatory. The rage
of the filibustering Democrats was un-
bounded. There was a scene OF upTOar
in the hall which lasted until the SER
geant-at-arms was compelled to inter-
fere.
It was then that Speaker Randall an
Rounced that the general order OF busi-
ness. the Constitution and the laws en-
acted under it were superior TO any rules
Of parliamentary practice, and that he
would not permit any dilatory procedure
intended to block the Constitution and
the laws That decision made Hayes
President A less serupulous man would
have played into the hands Of the recall
eitrants, and it IS possible we would have
rad a civil war. At any rate. there
would have been serious trouble. When
Speaker Reed announced his famous de-
cision some years later, he relied very
much on the general propositions laid
down by Randall, and they have been
sustained ever since.

THE OREGON ELECTION

The election of Monday last in the
state of Oregon resulted in such a
division of honors and emoluments
that both of its political parties ought
to be satisfied. The Republicans ell
ected majority of the legislature
and couple of congressman. while
the Democrats elected the United
States Senator, Governor Chamber
lain securing majority over Judge
Cake. :.
Under the peculiar arrangement of
law in Oregon, the Republican legis-
lature will be compelled to elect
Democrat to the Senate to occupy the
seat of Mr.. Fulton, Republican.
This will follow because the Demo-
cratic candidate for the Senate re-
ceived majority OF the popular vote
at the Monday election, although the
state went Republican in other par
ticulars. Candidates for legislative
seats pledged themselves in advance
to conform to the decision Of the vot-
ers of the state.
In nearly every county in which it
was made an issue, un7er a local
option provision, prohibition carried
the day.

EUROPE

(Thomas l.. Mason in Success Mag

Europe is place where all good
Americans go to. 1t came into prom
inence shortly after the Civil War.
The open palm first rose in Europe
and was imported to this country by
Sis Walter Raleigh Hence Palm
Beach and palm rooms.
Europe raises for our use Counts,
Princes and Dukes, ruins and old
masters. 1t also furnishes new styles
and diseases. From it we receive the
most lasting forms of drunkenness.
Europe is used for honeymoon pur-
poses, and for those who are used to
American hotels it is form of pen
ance.
It's Importance as a topic of con-
versation can hardly be over estimat-
ed. 1t makes more talk than any
other product.
Europe is also useful as means
of getting acquainted with your next
door neighbor. While travelling with
him on the other side there is usual
ly time between stations to ascertain
his name and business.
AS place Of refuge for our mill
lionaires, it is becoming more and
more useful every year. and more
affectionately regarded by all patri-
otic Americans.
