Ha only Bepeats What Has Been
Said Around the Globe.
It has been demonstrated repeatedly
In every state In the union and In
many foreign countries that Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is a certain pre
ventive and cure for croup. It has
become the universal remedy for that
disease. M. V. Fisher, of Liberty, r,
Va., only repeats what has been said
around the globe when he writes: "I
have used Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy in my family for several years
and always with perfect success. We
believe that it is not ,only the best
cough remedy, but that it is a sure
cure for croup. It has saved the lives
of our children a number of times. This
remedy is for sale by all druggists.

THE COMMITTEE
REPORTS ON QUAY
IConeludeil from Page 1.1
think that the fortmr Is the truo
moaning of tho Constitution. Wo think
that it was the intent of tho Constitu
tion to provide, an far as possible, that
every state should hnvc two senators.
Convention Hesitated.
"First. The Constitutional conven
tion hesitated between conferring the
power of appointing senators upon the.
executive and the leglslatuie of the
state in the beginning. Like the legis
lature, tho executive of tho state was
supposed to represent the will of the
people. Under the Constitutional ur
tnngements then existing, ho appoint
ed all Ltt-to officers and appointed
judges, who held their ofllce for life.
So theie Is no reason to suppose that
they considered nny executive an un
fit Instrument for such appointment.
And they Rctlled the question by giv
ing the power of peimnnent appoint
ment to the legislature, and of tem
po! nry appointment to the executive.
"Second. Wu can conceive no tea
son likely to have influenced the fram
ers of the Constitution for making a
distinction between cases of vacancy
occurring In one way or nt one time
and vacancies occurring in any other
way or at any other time. Tho ofllc
of senator may be at any time of
infinite Importance to the interests
of the state. Upon a single vote may
often depend and sometimes has de
pended the fntn of measures which,
would bilng prospeilty or misery Into
every vvotkshop and also oveiy family
in Pennsylvania. We do not bellevo
that when the Constitution was enact
ed It would have occuned to an body
that If a senator died within a week
of the adjournment of the legislature,
or at any time when theie were three
parties In the legislature who could
not agiee, or at any time when the
two houses who formeily made an
flection by concur! ont vote, weie of
wnvs of thinking in politics so dif
ferent that they could not be lecon
ciled, that the state must remain un
leptesented until a nvv legislature
should bo chosen.
"They meant, as we believe, that for
the Inteiest of tho state nnd the In
tel est of the whole country the senate
should always ho full, tn far as they
could devise a Constitutional mechan
ism to accomplish that purpose."
They Hay further that "the language
of the very clause in question cannot
be constiucd as the opponents of Mr.
Quay would lonsttue it, or In any
other way than the undersigned con
strue It, without destroying its own
purpose. If theie be no power in
executive of Pennsylvania to nppolnt
a successor to Mr. Quay under this
clause of tho Constitution, there is no
power In the legislature to choosj
such successor until the end of the
term: and In eveiy case where a sena
tor dies or resigns, or where, after
such death or resignation, tho legls
latuie has met and adjourned without
a choice, or whatever, at the beginning
of a term, the vacancy remains un
filled, It must remain unillled until
tho end of the six years, according
to the logic of the majority of the
committee."
The Stato Not in Fault.
On another point the minority say:
"It Is said that it the leglslatuie has
iiei n 'In session after a vacancy and
has failed to fill it the state Is In fault;
that the legislature has neglected Its
duty, and fo It Is not unjust that the
state should suffer. There arc two
ojisweia to this nrgument. First, that
it 1e for the Interest of tho whole peo
ple that eveiy state should be fully
lepiesented: and second, that theie Is
no fault to be Imputed to the leglsla
tuie of a Stat" or to the people, where
a majority vote Is required. If there
be a failure to elect. Will unybody
claim that the cae of a failure to elect
a president for want of a Constitu
tional maloiity, a case provided for
by conferring a power upon the house
of representatives voting by states, Is
the case of fault or negligence on the
p ut of the people?"
The mlunrty then give considerable
attention to the various cases and
conclude as follows:
"The case of Allen, Washington, was
decided with the Lee Mantle case nnd
without aigument, n decision to which
Mr. Reckwlth, of Wyoming, submitted
without further contest. At that time
there was- an earnest division In the
senate on an impm tant question re
lating to the currency, which created
for the time being moio earnest dif
ferences of opinion than those exist
ing between thp two great political
parties on other questions. It was
a time not favorable to a dispassion
ate, non-partisan judgment.
"We prefer the authority of the New"
Hampshire cases, which was noted
on also In the case of Mr. Pasco, of
Flotilla, and wp think that a decision
which must Inevitably deprive states
In the Union for long periods of time
of their rightful reptesentatlon under
the Constitution will not be permitted
long to stand, and that no settlement
In the question of derogation of the
lights of the states, nnd, ns we con
ceive, In violation of the Intent of tho
fi.imers of the Constitution should be
acquiesced in."

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, Jan. 23 Tho stock market
wns ns barren of nny well defined Issues
bearing on prices of sccttrltlt-s ns for
soveral dnvs past. Nevertheless, there
wns u general nnd a qulto pronounced
cullupse from the flimness which has
been characteristic of the undertone ot
tho market for several dn.vs past. Tho

lucompnnleil by rumors of new disasters
to tho llrltlsh military forces In South

Thu decline caused tho taking of prollts
by spt dilators who have hold through
suierul ilnys of rising prices nnd were
wrorv of waiting for further udvunco.
The halt In the advancing tendency nlso
encouMBed tho putting out of short
lines by the professional bears. Kven
allowing for all of these professional
movements, tho volume of the dealings
on tho decline was of rather Impressive
pioporllons nnd the losses sustained, es
pecially by tho leading International
stocks, nrn quite sevire. Only a few of
them escaped with less than one point
of loss nnd In otheis It extends to near
two points. In some of the prominent
speculative specialties losses arc even
greuter. Sugar, Rrooklyn Transit, To
bacco, Unltid States Leather, People's

were notable sulTeiirs. Consolidated

sticngth, but nil vkliled to the lntter
weakness gains being entirely wiped out.
Thero cuino a halt to the decline early
In tho afternoon with a dimnnd from
tho shorts to tovir but tho selling was
renewed befon the close which was
weak at the lowest of the day. The
benrd room traders expect to get their
