The New Rules.
A synopsis of the new rules that the Re
publicans of the House at 'Washington will
try to pass this week is about as follows:
"The elimination of motions to take a
recess or adjourn over to a day set. When
any proposition is under consideration not
more than one motion to adjourn will bo
allowed. The Speaker will not be expect
ed to entertain dilatory motions —the
Speaker to decide what is dilatory. Pro
viding for ascertaining a quorum in the
same manner as is now determined by the
Speaker. Fixing a quorum in the Com
mittee of the Whole at 100 instead of 160,
as at present. All bills are to be handed
to the Speaker and by him referred under
the rules, and not to be offered in the open
House, as has heretofore been the custom.
By this rule bills may be introduced at any
time. The House calendar is to bo dis
pensed with and all bills will go either to
—■ KTfWite calendar or to a union calendar
—thatTsTfr?-^ ml " ittce ol , the , Who ' n 0,1
the State of aiT "T* 0
bills amended by the SenW. to be taken
up at onco upon being re&i/n™ 1 to the
House. The Committee of the }lhole na*
the right to close debate on any paragraph
or amendment thereto without reporting-li'
the House. The old morning hour is to
be restored for the consideration of bills
reported by the committees. At the close
of sixty minutes, if the matter is undis
posed of, a motion may be made to go into
committee of the whole to take up a given
measure, to which an amendment shall be
in order—that is, substituting some other
bill—which motion, if lost, the morning
hour continues until the subject matter is
concluded, without regard to the time con
sumed."
That Speaker Reed was right in his rul
ing as to a quorum can be demonstrated as
follows: Suppose that the House con
* sisted of 201 members. In that case 101
would be a majority,and therefore,under the
Constitution a quorum, and if one vote was
the actual majority of the party in power,
every time one member of that party was
absent from his seat, the minority could
by refusing to answer to their names or by
refusing to vote on a measure and calling
the attention of the Speaker to Lhe vote,
block all business. On the other hand
every member of the minority, with the
exception ol one, could absent himself and
that one by calling the Speaker's attention
to the vote, any time any one member
of the majority was absent or did not vote,
could stop business. This has been the
rulo or custom of the House and it is time
it was changed. It is a greater wrong
than the "Senatorial Courtesy" business
that got a black eye some years ago. The
Republican party now has complete con
trol of the government for the first timo in
fifteen years, and wo would like to see our
men at Washington get all these pre
liminary matters settled as soon as possible,
and then start in on some vital matters oi
public importance, and in our judgment
tho Internal Revenue is the first great
thing that needs attention, as it has, we
believe, becoino a National curse.
Natural Defenders of "the Rights
the Minority."
The most verbose and blatant of the ob
structionists in the House are the South
eastern Democrats, mostly ex-rebels, who
have exhausted the resources of their
lurid rhetoric in extolling the "rights of the
minerity," that of delaying business being
the chief. These men are entirely sincere
in their devotion to the "rights of the
minority." Their section went into tho
bloody revolt because it had found that
the minority could not rule the nation in
iLe interest of slavery. The ex-rebels of
the Southeast openly defend the rulo of
the white minority in a large portion of
that section.
As, in vindication of "the rights of the
minority," tho Southeastern white man
undertook to destroy the best government
on earth, so he now holds it right and fair
to prevent the Negro from controlling any
Congressional district, no matter what the
majority of colored voters may be. Mur
der, intimidation, fraud—these are all con
sidered legitimate means of protecting the
white minority in the retention of political
power.
The beneficiaries of this style of "mi
nority representation - ' in the present
House are naturally disposed' to resort to
any sort of dilatory tactics to prevent the
Republican majority from investigating
the titles to their scats. Here are the
names of these Congressional advocates of
the "rights of the minority

Wc advise our readers to cut out this
list of dishonest Congressmen who owe
their possession of the power to obstruct
business in the House and to hurl vile
epithets at the Speaker to fraud, intimida
tion or violence, or to all together. The
audacity of these men is as pheuominal
as their dishonesty. But they have found
in Speaker Reed precisely the man for the
emergency, equal to any sort of parlia
mentary encounter, and undisturbable by
passionate invective or frantic rhetoric.
And the long-continued struggle for the
right of the majority to do business, under
Mr. Reed's magnificent leadership, has not
only educated the whole country as to
elementary principles of parliamentary
law, but has called out from various high
Democratic authorities unqualified ex
pressions of approval of Mr. Reed's course,
one of the most notable being ex-Mayor
Carter Harrison, formerly very prominent
in Congress and a master of parliamentary
law. He says now: "AVhen in the House
myself I bavo several times declared to
members that were I Speaker I would
■break the tradition and not permit a mem
ber to be constructively absent when I
knew he was there, and when, a few mo
menta afterwards, on call of the House,
he would answer to his name. I said I
hoped when the Democrats had the ma j
jority—which they had not when I was a |
member—that a Democratic Speaker would !
do away with the whole thing, and that
the rules of the House would be so altered
that this class of dilatory action would bo
made impossible.
"A minority has a right to protect itselt
by every dilatory motion that parliamen
tary rules will permit, but I do not believe
any parliamentary rules should permit a
man to refuse to vote and thereby break a
quorum by making himself constructively
absent when he is really present. It is as
much a member's duty to rote as it is his
duty to rote right, and he should not he
permitted to refuse to vote unless there is
some personal reason that would justify his
not roting. A member is elected by the
people to do the people's tcork.."
That is common sense and shows the sa
gacity of a Virginian who has had the
pluck and brains to work his way to power
in hustling Chicago. But tho ex-Confed
erate beneficiaries of fraud and violence in
the House will continue to fight for "the
rights of the minority," even after Speaker
Reed's new rules are adopted and give the
majority a chance to do business. — Hail

THERE is going the rounds of the papers
an alleged funny story of how a Pennsyl
vania lawyer from one of our interior towns
recently tried to instruct tho Supreme
Court of the United States on law points.
He fairly paralyzed the august justices on
the bench by quoting from a back county
judge's pamphlet, and when he was through
those in the court room trembled for the
decision that the brash lawyer's case was
almost certain to receive. Tho Supreme
Court of the United States, however, is not
such an all wise body that it cannot learn
"any tuizg. more.
Washington Notes.
In the Senate Tuesday, Senator Iloar
introduced a bill providing that all Con
gressional elections must-- be held in the
present districts. This is (t more sweep
ing measure than that presented by Repre
sentative Wickham.
The Committee on Elections decided
the contested case of Atkinson vs, Pendle
ton, of the Whelling. W. A a., district, in
favor of the contestant.
Chairman Rowell will make the report,
and the case will come up as soon as the
rules aro disposed of.
Atkinson has one of the strongest cases
ever presented to Congress, and will, of
course, be seated, probably this week.
Mr. Moody introduced in the Senate a
bill providing that when any city or town
in the United States having a population
of 4,000, shown by the census reports', shall
make a request for a postoflico building,
setting forth the above fact, the Postmas
ter General shall cause to be erected a
suitable building for a postoffice. The bill
authorizing the Postmaster General to pre
scribe tho cost of the building to be erect
ed, which shall not be leas than SIO,OOO
nor more than $50,000. The bill appropri
ates $3,000,000 for the purposes set forth.
Postmaster General Wanamaker appear
ed before the House Committee on Post
offices and Post Roads and read a state
ment in favor of a system of postal telegra
phy.
Mr. Wanamaker said he had prepared a
bill based on the four bills which had been
introduced in the House this session on the
same snbject, and he believed that it would
be satisfactory. He proposed' to begin the
experiments by establishing postal tele
graph communication between tho 400
free delivery offices in the country, and to
gradually extend tho service to smaller
offices. A uniform rate on messages could
not be established. Mr. Wanamaker be
lieved the scheme should be tried for 10
years on leased wires.
The Senate Committee on Census re
ported favorably all the nominations here
tofore made by the President, and they
will be confirmed.
Several nominations wero hung up pend
ing the filing of objections, but, none of
them materializing, the committee recom
mended they all bo confirmed. There arc
about 60 Supervisors to be nominated to
to complete the list.
A little episode occurred at the Kiggs
House, Washington, D. C., in which the
color line was tightly drawn. Nat McKay,
a well-known claim agent, was entertain
ing ex-Minister to Liberia Taylor at din
ner at the Kiggs House. Congressman
Grimes, of Georgia, was assigned to the
table at which McKay and Taylor were
Seated. Grimes became indignant, paid
his bill and left the place, saying a hotel
that entertained a negro could not enter
tain him. It is understood that several
other guests will quit the hotel for the
same reason. Taylor, the bone of conten
tion, is a well-known colored lawyer, of
Atlanta, Ga., and is also a prominent Dem
ocrat, being appointed Minister to Liberia
by President Cleveland.
PRESIDENT HARRISON has, by proelama
tion, opened the Sioux K eservation in Da

The Census Controversy.
Dispatches from Washington last Friday
announced a settlement of the controver
sy over the appointment of supervisors for
the Btli and 9th districts of this state, as
follows:
"In order to harmonize matters Superin
tendent of Census Porter consolidated the
the two districts and divided by three.
Whether the division was equal is a ques
tion in the minds cf some, and it is likely
some hard kicking will be done before the
nominations as sent to the Senate to-day
will be confirmed. Porter's argument is
this: George T. Oliver is to get that por
tion of the two districts comprising Alle
gheny county, while Dr. William Denny,
and James B. Mutes get the remainder.
Inasmuch as Allegheny county in point of
political patronage is worth nearly as much
as the other two districts combined, Con
gressman Dalzell's candidate gets the best
of it. while Quay's man takes probably the
second-best.
It is understood, however, that thenoni
uations will be strongly and earnestly op
posed by Senator Cameron on behalf of his
colleague, Senator Quay, who is now in
Florida on his annual fishing trip. If Sen
ator Cameron cannot induce a sufficient
number of Republicans to vote with him to
defeat the nominations ho will, it is esti
mated, appeal to his Democratic friends in
the Senate to help stay the confirmation
until Mr. Quay returns or is heard from.
Mr. Porter speaks very highly of Mr.
Oliver's ability and seems very desirous of
having hiin appointed. He thinks he is
by far the most capable man mentioned
for the position and will use every endeav
or to secure his confirmation. The result
awaited with considerable interest.
The above is from the Pittsburg Timex.
The appointments have not yet been sent
to the Senate by the President.
MARION HARLAND, of NOW York, is out
in a strong appeal to the women of the
United States to contribute to a monu
ment to Mary, the mother of George Wash
ington. She calls it a neglected duty and
a National disgrace, and appeals to her
patriotic sisters to help perpetuate the
memory of a great and good woman. Ma
rion is right. The mother of a good maa
;is the greatest woman on Garth, and
; Washington's mother should have a mou
j uinent to emphasize the fact.
Utah Redeemed by Votes.
SALT LAKH CITY, UTAH. Feb. 10 —The
municipal election to-day passed off
quietly. The city was crowded with
special police, detectives and Deputy
United States Marshals for the purpose of
preventing illegal voting, which each
party claimed that the other would resort
to. It was feared that an attempt to
challenge and arrest voters would result in
riot and bloodshed, but this anticipation
was not realized and though the excite
ment was so intense that half of the busi
ness houses was closed, order prevailed.
Bands paraded the streets and the thorough
fares were jammed with excited citizens
who realized that upon the result of to
day's battle depended the future of the
Mormon Church as a political organization.
The voting passed off quitely and only six
arrests were made for illegal voting and
these were accompanied by no demonstra
from either side.
Snow began falling early this morning
and continued until noon, when tho sun
came out. melting the snow and turning
the streets into rivers of slush. This did
not deter the voters, many of whom waded
through the mud to the polling places,
while hundreds of carriages ran between
the precinct headquarters and every part
of the city, conveyii.g voters to and from
the polls. By noon 3.000 votes had been
cast and the poll books showed that about
76 per ceut. of the Mormon's registered
vote had been cast and about 50 per cent,
of the Gentiles. At that hour it was esti
mated that the .returns at the Gentile
headquarters gave them a majority of 20i
votes, though up to 11 o'clock the Mor
mons had a majority ranging from 200 to
300.
At 5 o'clock it was estimated that the
returns from every ward in the city gave
a total vote of 6.298, divided as follows:
Gentiles, 3.443 ; Mormons, *?,355.
The polls closed at 6r. M. Tho Liberal
leaders posted a bulletin claiming 1.200
majority. The news spread rapidly and
the Gentiles became wild with joy. They
literally took possession of the city, the
Mormons retiring to their homes. Flags
were run up in all directions and lanterns
and fireworks illuminated the streets and
buildings. Cannons boomed, bonfires were
lighted at every corner and hundreds of
men in line paraded the streets with drums
and torches, yelling like mad. No such
scenes were ever witnessed before in Utah.
The Mormons admit their defeat, '»*•* say
that it was brought about by the most
glaringly illegal methods, and that the re
sult will be reversed by the courts. They
do not think tho majority shown by the re
tnrns will exceed 400. Official figures may
not be obtained to-night.
The election was of stirring interest to
the citizens, both Gentile and Mormon. In
the field there were two parties, the "Lib
eral party,'" made up of anti-Mormons, and
the "People's party,'' composed chiefly of
Mormons. The Mormons have always had
control of the affairs of the city. They
have refused to repair the streets or to lay
sidewalks. It is claimed the victory of the
Gentiles will place the city in harmony
National law and authority. It is recog
nized, that the city has a great influence
in the territory, and consequently the issue
was a National one. Gentile success means
that the redemption of Utah is slowly but
surely being accomplished.

jumped to a conclusion.
MB. ANDREW CARNEGIE has decided to
make the city of Pittsburg an offer of not
less than $1,000,000 for the purpose of
founding a central library with adjuncts in

that the defendants were not in court when
the case was filially decided.

Rheumatism
Wo doubt if there is, or can bo, a specific
remedy for rheumatism; but thousands who
lmve suffered its pains have been greatly ben
efited by Hood's Sarsaparilla. If yon havo failed
to find relief, try this great remedy. It corrects
the acidity of the blood which is the causo of the
disease, and builds up the whole system.
" I was afflicted with rheumatism twenty years.
Frevious to 1883 I found no relief, but grew worse,
until I was almost helpless. Hood's Sarsaparilla
did me more good than all the other medicine
