Lx Steak ku Cahlislk has drawn up an addrt to the public which vu published Monday, reviewing the ex traordinary, arbitrary and revolutlona-. ty couise adopted ty Speaker Heed of the House. The eddress jutiCe the action of the Democratic members in resisting Ked's usurpation. The Re publicans have refused to repoit rules, for the goveicmtnt of the House, so as to enable KeJ to pursue his aiblWary course. The purpose of this remarka ble proceeduig is to oust all Democrats whose seats are contested and itcreasi the Republican majority. Such high handed proceedings. Mr. Carliale says, have" nnv ,r bfora hen wlltefned ip li) vetis of Corre e. For several days past, in Washing ton, Speaker Keed, has been overriding the rights of the minority in Congress by refusing their recognition in making motions and counting tbem when not voting in order to make a .quorum. i Every Coogress bat this one has adopt ed certain rules governing Us pro ceedings by which the minority at times, bv the assertion of their rights were enabled to prevent unicnolesome legislation and stand as a bulwark against the corrupt jobbery of the party in power. The rules have been Uken advantage of heretofore, by both Dem ocrats and Republicans, when either party was in the minority and the prac tice has been regarded as an invaluable safeguard against partisan legislation. But the Republican majority la the present Congress, Is eo small that it cou'.d cot always be relied on to be present and in order to entrench them selves stcurelT in power the Republi can party, with Speaker Reed In the Chair, has resolved to adopt no rales but the Speakers autocrat decision, un til sufficient contested congressional elections are decided aud enough Re publicans members admitted to make their working majority certain. It is a fitting fioale in the part played by this party of grand moral Ideas and the last act in the drama, is ic keeplug with the party's previous re cord. A party that In the name ot hones'; elections would defeat the will of the people as expressed at the ballot v pm ma si IU9 boi eleal a pTeaiAeDej ud wlth sanc timonious unction for. four yean enjoy the prcceeds of their theft ; a partj that in the name of patriotism would furnish the assassin to remove an executive of their own choice ; a party wltb a pretense to representing all that la good and holy in politics that has for its Moees, Matthew Stanley Quay ; it la fitting that a party, that could plant pious John Wanamaker oo a cabinet pedestal with bis Sanday school lessons in on hand and a bribe In the other, should close its career with a resort to the despotic methods of Speaker Reed. There is an eternal fitness la all things and Speaker Reed is the proper man to administer upon ail that is left of the Republican estate. We have expected i ever since tin min s were discovered In Dakota, says the ationnl DrmocraU Tin has always ! been on the free list on the ground that there was none of it in this country. The American owners of the Dakota tin mines have now formally filed their claim for protection. We say the American owners advisedly for these mines have been sold in Eoglacd and while the ownership is nominallv In j American companies It is really in ; English capitalists. The object of the ! duty will be to raise the price of block j tin and we have no doubt that this ob i ject will be attained, so that the imme diate result of the discovery or a new metal In this country will be held that It will cost us more than it did when we had to bring it froxt the other aide j of the world. W axe of coarse In j fcrmed.ttiMt.tLe. Dakota. Ma miners get I 12 50 a day while the miners In Corn- wall get 75 cents, and we presume that j the miners of the Straits Settlements work for nothing and board themselves. But we learned last summer from the New York Trtbhne that copper mined in Montana by men who go. S3 50 a day was carried to London and there sold ror a cent a pound less than the Spanish copper mined by men who got 80 cents a day could be sold for. TnE contention that the majority must rule in this country, says the Philadelphia Jlerord, is all right ; but it must rule in subordination to the con stitutional rlghtsof the minority. When the present Congress was elected the popular vote showed a majority for the Democrats. Should not this fact be considered ? The slender Republican majority in the House can do all that a majority may rightfally do whenever all the Repupllcan members participate in legislation ; bat the minority is en titled to modify partnan legislation by a resort to parliamentary means of op position. In undertaking to cripple the parliamentary effectiveness of the min ority by proceeding to determine the right to contested seats with out roles, the Republicans are gnlliy of a fl igrant wrong. The right of debate; the right to such deliberation as the gravity of the position taken by Speak er Reed necessitates, and the right to such obstruction as the weight of the minority entitles it to offer, and as the default of the majority prevents it from saccessfu'ly opposing by constitutional means, have all been denied In the revolutionary proceedings of tbe House. It is time to bring in the roles and fall back npon orderly nauage and prece dent. Ex Speaker Carlisle, in an Ic , terview witn a correspondent in Wash ington on the situation to Congress said : "I have seen statements to the effect that it was proposed by the Dem ocratic minoriiy to vec their seats. Such a course would be neither digni fied nor expedient, ani we shall not re sort to it. It has been freely charged by the RopnhlicatiS In tbe House and by tbe Republican press that, though In a minority, we are tf riving to rale. This is unfair and wholly untrue.- The Re publicans have a quorum of the House of Representatives. Tbey are respon sible to the country for tbe legislation enacted by the - Fifty-first Congress1. Let them, therefore, summon their own quorum and with its aid unseat such Democrats as they may see fit and adopt such legislation as they may deem ad- l visr ble. We simply contend that these revolutionary schemes shall not be con sum mated by tbe aid of our votes. Tbe rteponsibility should rest where it be longs, aud the country should under stand clearly by what means results never contemplated by tbe constitution are achieved." We this week publish the report ot tbe Count j Auditors. We bave not bad time to examine the report carefully, but a first glance informs us at once that the Auditors fol'.owed the osaal custom of marking- "Aud"oQ tbe back ot each hill. adJIog ap the totals and striking a balance without asking tbe (Jommteeton trs any impertinent uutstiobs. Fire and Death. Washington, February 3. At 7. o'clock th's morning fire started in tbe basement of Secretary Tracy's resi dence, on I street between Seventeenth and Eighteenth, and soon spread to the upper floors. The family were asleep and tbeir escape was eat off before the terrified servants could awaken them. Mrs. Tracy, whose chamber is in tbe rear of tbe boose, was awakened by tbe noise made by the servants who called to her from the alley running along tbe back o tbe hones. 8be ran to the win dows, and seeing the smoke rolling out from tbe lower windows, leaped to the ally and was horribly crashed on tbe rough stones with which it is paved. She was lifted by tender bands and car ried to the residence of Mr. Rtieam, on Eighteenth street, where she soon af terward died. Ladders were quickly placed to the windows and the firemen rushed hurriedly tbrongb tbe windows and doors. Secretary Tracy was fonnd in his room unconscious. He was taken to the house where bis wife bad alr.dy been carried. Miss Mary Tracy was found la tbe back bail on tbe aeeoad floor, badly burned, and In an unconscious condi tion from which she never recovered, lira. Wirmerdlng. a daughter of tbe Secretary, jumped from tbe second story window with Mrs. Trey and was picked up in an unconscious condition by the fireman and taken to tbe boose of Mr. Baueroft Davis, near by. She was badly bruised by tbe fall, bat will recover. Tbe charred remains of Josephine, a servant in tbe housa, was found In her room by tbe firemen. A fsw moments after the alarm was turned In Senator Chandler arrived and stationed himself a', the door of tbe Rbeems residence. He sent for Drs. Rath and Wales, who bnrried from tbeir beds and did all in their power to resuscitate tbe Secretary aod his wife. Tbey were snccessral in the Secretary's ease, bat Mrs. Tracy never regained consciousness, and died a few moments before 9 o'clock. Tbe boose was completely gntted and tbe funiture is a total loss. lis value is estimated at $30,000. Tbe place was magnificently fornt-hed, all tbe furni tore beiDg new. Secretary Tracy con tinned to krep his residence in Brook lyn where Mrs. Tracy, who was an in valid, resided the greater part of the time. John S. Shrirer, the Washington correspondent of the New York Mail and Express, found 1000 near tbe epot where Mrs. Tracy teli, and it is sup posed that she bad the money in her hand when she left the burning build lug. A gentleman who saw the fire said never in his lire did be see r r hear such a sight. "The whole t uildmg." he said, "seemed one seething mass ot I uiurg uuisiiug iiuuj every poiub. ouesin luuowea scream, eacn one more horrible and blood-curdling than tbe other, from the interior of tbe building. Only a few people were passing at tbe time, and tbey seemed bewildered, tbe engines aoja arrived. You know the rest." Irue Heroism. New York, Jan. 31. Among the passengers oo tbe Cunard steamship liothioa, which arrived yesterday morn ing, was sister Rose Gertrude. She is on her way to the island of Molokai, in the South Pacific ocean, where those suffering from leprosy ate taken to live oat tbeir suffering lives. Sister Rose Gertrude was at one time Amy Fowler. She was born but thirty-five years ago In Bath. England, where she wi reared aod educated. Her parents were wealthy. Mias Fowler decided to take the veil and joined the order of St. Dominic. AT ter several years of uaefallness to ber fellow-beings news came from across the ocean that Father Damien was dead. His devotion to the lepers of Molokai was the ;ole topic of conversation among the women who labored daily under Sister Gertrude's leadership. She finally decided to master all of Pastuer's ideas concerning leprosy, aod tben go to the Island of Molokai, and devote the rest of her life to the lepers. Everybody to whom Miss Fowler spike tried to persuade her not to go. With remarkable courage she looks forward to her work on tbe dlseaee stricken Island wltb more tban pleasure. She knows that she cannot live more tban ten vears. Mias Fowler was seen in her state room on the Bothnia yesterday morning. She is a neat little woman about 35 years old. She is about five feet two inches tall and in build very slim. Her face is kindly If not pretty. The fea tures are regular and small, but well formed, and denote great determina tion. She was dressed entirely In black bat not la nan's clothtng. There were a number of prominent Catholie laymen at the dock to meet her, end one young gentleman went down the bay to look after ber luggage and personal comfort. "I expect to get to Molokai by tbe middle of February. I do not Intend to stay in New York at all and shall pro ceed as soon as 1 possibly can." One who went before tbe McKinley committee as a representative of a Western Farmers' Alliance asked the question : "Why should not hem' eggs be protected by a tariff imposed upon imported eggs." Well why shou d they ? Tbe "Amer ican workingmen" does not manufac ture eggs ; hence, be needs no protec tion on that sort of labor. The farmer does not manufacture eggs ; hence he needs no protection. The ben Is tbe great factor in the production or eggs and abe Is satisfied to work for ber board acd fea'bers. Does any foreign ben work leas ? Of course to tax imported eggs could not benefit Ohio or any other western farm er unless It would enable him to sell eggs for moie money than the present market price. Dj the "American workingmen" want to pay more for eggs to help the farmers T If so, tbey can do that without a tariff by simple paying more tban the market price a. each and every purchase. Bat tbe farmers, representative de clares that he and 'hose be represents have ss good a right i be protected by an egg tariff as others haw to be pro tected by an Iron tarff. a coal tariff or a. lombnr tairff. Very true ; but be forgets tbat what be terms a right" is bat a steal and no right at all. The law gives tbeui the power but it con fers no right to rob tbeir neighbors. Tbe law could also give the farmers lb power to fell tea eggs for a dozen and If tbe people were atopld enough to accept the situation the farmer could not be indicted for selling by false weights and measures. After all tbe tariff Is simply a roundabout way of committing larcency and we hope the egg farmers will not be long in finding it eo. Ilarrijibttrg Patriot Beawrkabla Ura. Michael Curtain.

Ebens-bj-rg and w. W McAtee r, Loretto. Large botilta 50;. and f 1.0m The Real Issue. Tbe defense of the coarse of Speaker Reed, made in our Washington corre spondence is about equivalent to that given out by the Sneaker himself. Both repeat In detailed form the r- j gumebis advanced on that side daring ; the past week, Tu tbeir foil deciaras tion of the absurdity of a member be- ( it.g present and declaring biouself ab sent no dissent need be taken ; out ith that point conceded tbe vital tea- -. ft. - . fr..mK V . a Ka lore of the case whicn maaes me Speaker's course one that cannot be justified in tbe interest or R-pieecnta-tive government, is ignored by both. That feature is brought oat by tbe fact, as stated by our correspondent mora tban once, tbat "the Speaker and a few of bis friends" determined to stop dilatory motions. But that is just what neither the Speaker nor any of bs frieods. individually have a right to do. Tbe whole House, under the Constitu tion, is givn power to prescribe rales for the government of tbe body ; and the majority, under the principles of representative government. Is charged with the duty of bringing in tales and eeenrtog tbeir adoption. For the Speaker to undertake to do Individually what only the House can do as a body, and to carry out his parpose by ruling out motions privileged in all parliamen tary bodies, and forbidding member to read records germain to the discos sion, is an unprecedented and unwar rantable assumption of personal power. If the Republicans had brought in rules for the government of tbe House, designed to prevent filibustering, tbe attitude of tbe party daring the fight which woald have ensaed. would have been very different. That would have been an assertion of tbe right of the j Houae to govern itaelf. Although Mr. Reed himself, when the Deroorrn. took that eoostitational course in 1880, ar-1 gued that it would Interfere with a vaN uable and salutary right of the minori- j ty. it would probably bav gained 'he I approval of the people. But when Mr. Reed undertakes to enact personally what he declared ten years ago the le gal power should not do. it can oolv be recounted as a phenomenal notifica tion of ptrliameotary principle (or par tisan purpose. Concerning the assertion tht the practice of leaving the House without a qu'-rum is a new thing, it is pertinent to qu. t from Mr. R-ed'a speech ten vears ao that "this privi eg is a privilege which every minority has availed itself of since tbe formation of the Government." and that "it is a valu -b!e privilege for tbe country." Pittsburg Dispatch (Ii(p.) The Right of Appeal. The right of appealing from the d cision of any inferior or delegated con- ' stHuted authority is an inaiienab e ! right, essential both to c.ra-rly gov- i ernment and to tbe preservation of lib- j eit. It ezis's inctur sas tbe com mon right of everv citiz-o. II. milita ry law It is the defense cf tbe soldier against an oppressive commaud-r. Ia Legislatures it is as the safefuard of representative responsibility relying upon the justice if an entire ttody of representatives against error or ifcju9- ; tice by a presiding fficer. "who is tbe organ of a house, not Its master." I Tbe coUolnation of the outrages ' against repres-ntalives of the people perpetrated last week at Washington is I rouoa id me n-oiai or tnis rigbt or ap ; peal. The Sp-aker thus constituted himself an absolute autocrat, refusing . original eptkes and plates of tbe first fee to submit bis action even to the judg- tion of be road, wbicb have been carefully meni or ine majority or srmpatbizlpg ; ana suDservienc reiiow partisans as he himself bad constituted it. He refused to trust, not merely tbe Democrats of the House, or a majority of tne elected members of the House, but even his own comrades, whom be bad used to throttle tbe liberty of the representa tives of the peop e. To his own will alone, no revised by any one, unchecked as to matter of authority or matter of fact, would be submit the conduct of legis'ation of tbe country. When there is no appeal there Is do remedy. Th ides that appeal can be cut off has never here:ofore been broached in any deliberative body. 1 appeal from the decision of the Chair" is a speech familiar in every debating society in the land, and no e-e respect ing body of men assembled for deliber ation would tolerate the refusal to en tertain that motion, which comes ont of the right of a delegate to participate in the proceedings. Without the right to appeal there can be no representative responsibility. Abolishing that right means the extin guishment of the deliberative assem blage, and the substitution in its stead of a single Individual assuming to da for all by his own will alone what only the majority can rightfally accompli!. The denial of the rigbt ot appeal is tbj establishment of Imperialism, not merely over the execution of laws, but what is infinitely woree. oyer tbe mak ing of the laws. It is a blow at tbe heart of liberty and a corruption of the wellsprings of justice.
