The stormy scenes witnessed in the lower house of congress -within the last two days are among the things that make thoughtful citizens sometimes diubt the perpetuity of republican gov ernment in this country. On the one side is the minority party resorting to methods akin to revolution, to prevent the majority from carrying into execu tion what the : minority conceive to be an outrage upon their constitutional rights. On the other side the majority are sustaining the speaker in an auto cratic procedure that would cost Queen Victoria her crown, if not her head, under the British constitution. And yet the great masses of the people look upon these proceedings with as much indifference as they would witness the j the antics of a lot of caged monkeys. It is, perhaps, the - latter "fact which is really the redeeming feature of the whole business, for nothing can be very serious that can be successfully ridiculed. '.'•i'Jf' ' While the Globe has seen proper to condemn Speaker ' Reed's autocratic assumptions from the time he first occupied the speaker's chair down to the time of his remarkable rulings within the last two days, we are not so blinded by partisan prejudice as to be unwilling to admit that the very rulings which invoked the ire of the Demo cratic minority are, in some respects, the wisest acts of his parliamentary career. While these rulings are generally to the disadvantage of the Democrats in congress, and will enable the Repub licans to seat somo contestants who are not entitled to seats, still Mr. Reed has performed a commendable service in attempting to squelch filibustering in congress. His remedy is of the heroic type; yet It must be admitted that a milder treatment would avail nothing. In saying this much in Speaker Reed's behalf frankness requires us to say that if the party attitude had been reversed in the bouse Mr. Reed would have in sisted upon a different ruling, and would have denounced the opposition speaker who made his rulings as violently as the opposition are now denouncing him. His position now is grossly incon sistent with his own previous record and with the record made by former Republican speakers. And yet he is nearer right now than he I. as ever been in his life. The practice of filibustering adopted by the minority party in con gress, and resorted to by all parties when occasion seems to demand it, is not only un-American and uu-repub lican, but is absolutely disgraceful, and fraught with the greatest danger to our institutions. The principle of majority rule is fundamental to our whole system of government, and every movement in tended to deprive the majority of a free and full exercise of power is revolu tionary. When the Democrats were in control of congress filibustering was the favorite tactics of the Republicans. Now that the situation is reversed, the Dem ocrats have committed the folly of fol lowing the precedent set by their antag onists. But it makes no difference which party resorts to filibustering; the practice is reprehensible, and should be frowned upon by all good citizens. A peculiarly favorite method of fili bustering is to break a quorum by the minority members refusing to vote. A member may be in attendance in propria persona; and yet, if he declines to answer to his name at roll call and his vote does not appear on the journal, it has heretofore been held that lie is con structively absent, and unless the vote of a majority of all tho members is re corded It has been the uniform ruling in congress to declare that there is no quorum present for the transaction of business. Speaker Reed has broken in upon this fiction, and while his motives are not the best, still his action must be sustained by all . American citizens who are desirous to see the American congress divested of its rabble quality. It is the business of every member of congress to be in his seat at each day's session. He has a contract with the people to that effect. And it is equally his duty to vote upon every proposition that comes before congress.; If he is derelict in the performance of these du ties there ought . to be some power lodged with the presiding officer to cor n-pel a performance of duty on the part of each and every member. If the majority avail themselves of their voting strength to perpetrate such an outrage as the Republicans in the house propose to do in these election cases, there is a way to punish them for it. The grand assizes of the people held at the polls can usually settle scores with unfaithful representatives. It would have been better for the Demo crats to have submitted in silence to the wrongs imposed upon them by the ma jority than to have raised such a rum pus. The people can be relied upon to correct injustice and to avenge public wrongs. \- •*„. »i THE REASON FOR IT. The action of the lawless and fanati cal individuals at Aberdeen, Miss., in connection with the Jeff Davis mat ter was as severely condemned by the senators from that state in the senate discussion as it was by right-minded citizens in the South and North. Secre tary Proctor was not amenable to crit icism for refusing the usual mark of re spect in displaying the flag at half-mast over the government building at the death of an ex-cabinet officer when that individual had the record of the late head of the Confederacy. It is a puerile business hanging any man in effigy, and partk-ulaily discreditable in the case of a high official. Still, there are, and always have been, people of nar row, groveling minds, who must have some visible expression of their Ignoble conceits. Mobs are not noted for the exercise of brain force usually. The only reason for obtruding this local outrage in the sennte was because It was in the South. It has not, unfortunately, been an un known occurrence in any section to hang offending officials in effigy. A couple of years ago a lot of blockheads out in Kansas hung President Cleve land in effigy, and no denial has been noted of the statement that an aggrieved Republican club in Indiana has vented its small spite at President Harrison in this way. No notice of either of 5 ipse local outrages was taken in the senate. They were not matters- for federal authority to recognize, but to be treated by the local powers as any other disturbance of the peace. The Aber deen case shows the constant disposi tion of the Republican politicians to magnify all disorders in the South for the manufacture of political capital, and to divert tue public " mind from real issues. . " . - -■ . ANNEXATION. Our Canadian friends are so sensitive on the annexation question as to lead to tho suspicion that there is a much stronger annexation feeling In the dominion than appears on the -surface of that resolution adopted by •- the Ot tawa pariiameut.- The .resolution was a distinctly government measure, a fact of itself significant*, but an analysis of the vote is still moro significant. - Th journal will show that the, resolution declaring that there is no inclination on the part of Canadian people §to be | an nexed to the United States was adopted unanimously. Yet it is worthy of note THE SAINT PAUL DAILY / GLOBE: SATURDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 1, 1890. that fifty members of parliament, who were in the city of Ottawa at the time the vote was being taken, voluntarily absented themselves from the parlia ment house, and are notion record. Of those who voted for it, nearly one-half qualified their vote with the statement that, while they did not believe annex ation to be judicious, still they wore unequivocally In favor of separation . from the. mother country and the es tablishment of a free and independent government for. Canada. The British ministry cannot derive much comfort from this sort of loyal expression on the part of their Canadian subjects. There is no deny.ng the fact that the domin ion authorities are alarmed at the sit uation, and to.ik the worst way possible to conceal their apprehensions. -^ It is explained that the Christian communism and other erratic tenden cies of Miss Frances E. Willard are but Nationalism, as formulated by Ed ward Bellamy. She objects, how ever, to his toleration of wine and to bacco, and has importuned him to put the scalpel under them. He replies that it is too big a job to "taka up every reform." He lias no small pack to carry in his special line. Miss Willard, then, is ahead of Bellamy:^ has great er courage. She is willing to take in all the things that the reform label will ad here to. It is claimed that tne Dakota statutes are not specially designea to promote the divorce industry, but the fact that it is still a favorite with the parties in need of such detachment was suggested by the marriage this week of two persons of social note in other states, both of whom were in the fresh possession of a Dakota divorce. They will probably al.vays patronize tho courts out there in the future, perhaps obviating delays by leaving a residence there ready for di vorce use. Some of the Republican papers are a little dazed at the magnificence of the scheme of the house committee to put from *^00,000,00 a to double those figures into a navy and coast defenses. It is claimed that this will give the United States a navy that will bo able to com pete with any. There is no doubt that it is a good thing to have in emer gencies, but such emergencies don't often come to nations not provided for them. ' >" : ' ; -^_ «s» In New England the farmers are taking up tariff reduction, and the drift of their opinions is indicated by this statement of one of them: "The far mers are taxed for the benefit of other industries. The farmer can earn a better living in a factory than he can on the farm working sixteen hours a day, because everything he has to buy is taxed for the benefit of other indus tries." '^.Cv "V'-v The Russians are crowding into China quietly and by gradual ap proaches. Regiments. of Cossacks get over the boundary a few miles with their families, and a little later edge on a few miles further, always moving the boundary stones just in advance of them. That method of acquiring terri tory ought to run against stones that could not be moved. One of the men in lowa who has been most acute in smelling and detecting private resources in cellars and bottles has been sent to tho penitentiary for three years, breaking into a thriving industry. In some quarters up is a vic tim of persecution. But there are al ways those who wont to disturb reform ers who are doing well for themselves. It affords some of the " partisan . sheets great satisfaction to refer to Carl Schurz as an agent, selling steamship tickets for an ocean line. They assume that it is a step down for a senator and cabinet officer, and a warniug against becoming a mugwump, It is snobbishness that looks down upon any reputable avocation. A burglar has been found under a woman's bed in Chicago. A St. Paul lady, after the loss of a night's sleep and the possible change of color of her hair, had it not been taken off before retiring, was only rewarded in the morn ing by the vision of a hysterical tom cat. But the search will go on. "^***^ p * - ' The Ohio legislature came near at the last session passing a two-cent passenger railroad bill, and it is be lieved that it will go through this win ter. This would indicate that the mem bers are not so susceptible to financial influences as alleged. ■■» In the vote taken by a New York paper for the most popular man in the city Grover Cleveland had 80.381 votes, and Benjamin Harrison, I. There are suspicions that the Harri son vote was cast by mistake. ■ Judge Parker, the Arkansas man who is likely to be the successor of Judge Brewer, is said to have sen tenced eighty men to the gallows in Arkansas, and all were bung. He is needed in Kansas. The Prince of Wales could make the fortune of some one if he would give the name of the man who made the pad he wore that kept the grip away from him. It was an aristocratic frankincense af fair. Mr. Blame is likely to mourn the death of his eldest daughter ~ from a similar cause that so recently bereaved him of a son. Afflictions seem to come to him in groups. Tom Platt wants to run the world's fair if it goes to New York. Even some of the Republicans in the New York legislature are becoming weary of his dictation. The Great Northern now takes tho place of the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba. This will cover a Pacific ex tension in the early future. em The ' confidencod members of the house will agree that Silcott is "not so black as he is painted" when he re turns their money. .-.:;^2 ~:j;vi THE STORY OF A DAY.

STORIES OF GREAT MEN. ; Vengeance There an endless number ~ of stories. on Greeley, hinging upon the pe culiarities of the late Horace Greeley, most of them having to do with his penmanship. But we know.' next to nothing of his home life and what Mrs. Greeley did with the great journalist. While living at Chappaqua he formed the habit of ..tak ing . guests home with him un expectedly, ; and, as may naturally be supposed, much to the annoyance of his wife. Thackeray told with glee how he walked into the parlor after the placid Horace, and how the journalist tried to assure a pleasant welcome by greeting his better half with an effusive smile. He had no sooner dropped his hat on the center table than she picked it up and threw it out of the window, thus mildly expressing her disgust. Having eased her mind, she saluted the, distinguished guest with becoming gravity, and all was well. Lincoln and • Those who knew Lincoln best knew that the Comet, he could take as well as give in the matter of a joke. In the spring ol 1849 he left Springfiekl,ll].,for Washington by stage, to accept the enmmissionership of the general land office. In the stage were Thomas H. Nelson, of Terre "Haute, afterwards minister to Chili, and Abram Hammon I, afterward governor of Indi ana. They found Lincoln asleep, alone, with his long, lank form stretched across all the seats. After a slap on the back, he sat up, and they inventoried an individual dressed in a worn- and ill-fitting suit of bomba zine, without vest or cravat.and a palm leaf hat on the back of his head. Here was a subject, and the • i.air proceeded to perpetrate several jokes. Lincoln took them with the utmost innocence and good nature and joined in the laugh, although at his own expense. When they stopped for dinner the conversa tion turned on the new comet of that year, and at the table, with the 25-cent palm leaf under his arm. Lincoln asked: "What is going to be the up shot of this comet business?" -Nelson replied that he was inclined to the opin ion that the world would '"follow the darned thing off." The three did not meet again for years; not until Lincoln arrived in Indianapolis on his way to Washington to be inauguarated presi dent. As they approached the door of the office in the hotel.a long arm reached out and a shrill voice exclaimed: "Hello, Nelson I Do you think, after all. the fworid is going to follow the darned thing off?" The Hamilton- Without doubt the most tragic duel ever Rurr Duel, fought in tne vicinity of the metropolis was the deadly contest betw'etn Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. Historic as it is, stories not given in the books are being retailed about it. Fitz-Greene Washington,-, a great-grandnephew of the Father of His Country, has an ac count of the affair from his grandfather, Capt. Fitz Hughes. The captain learned after the start where the lighting ground had been located, and was rowed across the North river by a couple of slaves. When be arrived the antagonists had taken posi tions. Hamilton and Burr were to fire twice or thrice. At the wordof com mand Hamilton fired at Burr, and Birr fired in the air. At the second bring Hamilton fired in the air, and Burr shot Hamilton. Homilton thought Burr meant to kill him. as he meant to kill Buir, but when he saw the discharge in the air he . changed his tactics, as did Burr, and with fatal results. This is said to lie the true history of the duel fought by these two great men. Sherman's "Our Mary," as .CV Americans delight to Mistake. Mary Anderson, may • marry or may not; as future inclination seizes her, but at all events her past Is assured. Her history . reads like fiction. John 'McCullough found her a poor girl in Louisville; and wrote of her gifts and ambitions to his friend John W. : Norton, 1 the man ager of a St. ' Louis opera house. Her opening night in Louisville she played Juliet to a $40 house, but she convinced Norton that in the green Kentucky girl a great actress was concealed. Gen. Sherman, then a resi dent of St. Louis, was present by Nor ton's invitation. After the perform ance he was taken with others behind the scenes and was introduced. Mary at this time was awkward, but a perfect vision of beauty. Gen. Sherman kissed her In his fatherly way and predicted a great future for her. A half hour later Narton asked his judgment about the budding actress. "My dear, boy." said the general, "she doesn't amount to anything. - There is nothing in her. She will never amount to anything, no mat ter how long she lives." Two mouths later, when all the country went wild over her, he saw his mistake and ac knowledged it frankly. Lucky E. J. Baldwin went to a hotel in New York Baldwin for a rest. He was :>- '■■;''- :■'-■■ only going to stay a In Gotham, few hours in town. It was about 3 o'clock when he registered, and he wanted to take a little sleep before he was called at 10. The gentlemanly clerk recog nized the name and the man. and looked phased to have a whack at long purse of | the California millionaire. Baldwin j had his several hours' sleep, and was called at 10 o'clock, as ordered. He went to the office and asked for his bill. It was handed to him— S3o. Mr. Bald win looked at it. "I am very much obliged to you for waking me at 10 o'clock." "Why?" - : :rnv. "If l had slept a few hours more it would have busted me." " *»» What Washburn Represents. To the Editor of the Globe. In the Globe of the Slst it is stated "Washburn represents nothing in the United States senate but himself and Minneapolis." Are you not mistaken? If common report is correct he repre sents the very worst type of American pol.tics.; He represents boodleism and the spot cash principle which seems to have taken possession of the g. o. p. in Minnesota. He represents the long list of scrambling office-seekers (from this, slate) who infest every nook and corner : and all the avenues of approach to the ' White house. While our senior senator is wrestling with the great questions before congress and is discharging his duties as a statesman, Washburn is sneaking around in search of the loaves and the fishes.: Ho has introduced no bills, has made no speeches and never will. It would be better for our state if he only represented himself and Minne apolis, but alas! He represents machine politics : and all that is vile and odious therein. Minnesota. ■..-■>■: '■ DEFIES THE DETECTIVES.^. ? Silcottand His Paramour Located in Quebec. Terre Bonne, Que., Jan. 31.— C. E. i Silcott, the cashier of the sergeant-at arms office, who •. absconded from Washington on Nov. SO with about $96,000, has been found.

They evi dently had been companions. Lying on the sand, grotesquely contorted, was another skeleton, betraying by its un natural position terrible agony and death. from heat and thirst. A lew steps away was a - picket pin driven into the ground with a lariat at tached to it. .Following the rope a perfect skeleton of a horse ;. was found, the noose of the rope still ; encircling the neck bones. Close search about the skeleton of the man resulted in finding but one aiticle, a silver badge with a pin attached, one side of the shield bearing "E. W.

Constant attention to duties in parliament, he says, will be necessary during the coming session, as opportunities will certainly arise for every member to render effective ser vice to Ireland. MINISTERIALISTS AT ODDS. Personal Bickerings Threaten to Swamp the Government. London, Jan. — A row is brewing among the Tory and Unionist Orange men of Ulster, which threatens to as sume serious proportions and endanger the continued solidity of the ministerial representation for Ulster iv the house of commons. The trouble is not of re cent origin, but lately many things have come up to hasten the inevitable cul mination of the ill-feeling in an open rupture. Thomas W. Ilussell. the Lib eral Unionist member for South Ty rone, has repeatedly given evidence of his independence of party dictation where the policy of the government or the trend of party interest ran counter to his convictions, and the attempts of his colleagues to call him to account and "whip him into line have uniformly been unsuccessful. In a recent speech, Mr. Kussell remarked the servility of the Ulster men in blindly following their political masters to the prejudice of their own interests, roundly denounced them as blockheads, and characterized the Ulster commoners as a party of deadheads on the Conservative train. These strictures aroused the ire of Sir Charles E. Lewis (Conservative) mem ber for North Antrim, who has re torted In terras anything but compli mentary to tho fearless member for Tyrone. As Sir Charles wears the col lar ofMaj. Saunders, the leader of the Orange party m parliament, his arraign ment of Russell may be recorded as an authorized party measure. Russell has many friends, and the quarrel may end in a split, of which the Nationalists will not be slow to take advantage. O'Brien Will Take a Rest. London, Jan. 31.— William O'Brien has almost recovered from the attack of prostration which overcame him at Leeds last night, but he is still weak. -He will rest in London a few days be- Fore resuming his tour of England. Meanwhile his dates will be rearranged to cover the • towns his indisposition now compels him to pass over. -More Than One ili-Fated Craft. London,. Jan. 31.— Fears for the safety of overdue steamers and sailing vessels are on the increase, fed by the reports of the great quantities of wreck age sighted by incoming ships. For a time all of the wreckage reported was assumed to be that of the Erin, but the volume and character of the masses of floating debris met with and the variety of their longtitudal and latitudal posi tion when seen warrants the conviction that the Erin is by no means the only vessel that went to the bottom during the recent storms. Bismarck Does Not Like Toilers. Berlin, Jan. 31.— The Freisinnige Zeitung, cammenting on the appoint ment of Baron yon Berlepsch to the office of minister of commerce, the duties of which have been hitherto per formed under the direct supervision of Prince Bismarck, says it supposes that Prince Bismarck resigned this post in order to avoid identifying himself with measures for the protection of the strik ing workmen. Austria's Mail service Crippled. Vienna, Jan. 31.— The Hamburg American company and the North Ger man Lloyds company have jointly re linquished the Austrian concession for mail service, and closed their offices in Vienna in consequence of the attacks made upon them by the Austrian press.

Supt. Porter's Plans for Taking the Census. Washington, Jan. 31.— The work of appointing 175 census supervisors is i nearly completed .by Supt. Porter. Ho has now prepared j instructions which are designed to assist them in managing the army of 40.000 enumerators who will be engaged in '/collecting the statistics under their direction. - He advises them that In the : selection '• of - enumerators political affiliations are not to be re garded, but men are to be selected for their fitness alone. Preference is, how ever, to be given to" honorably dis charged soldiers and sailors residing in their respective districts; He directs that the division into enumeration districts should be made by rural divisions, - and that the boundary line be made clear and unmistakable. In agricultural regions Supt. Porter states 2,000 or 2.500 inhabitants may safely be included in an enumeration dis trict. As settlements become more sparse a smaller number should bo included. The same limit in the number of in habitants in an enumeration district should be observed in cities having over 10,000 inhabitants. In tho opinion of Supt. Porter, the more quickly the census is taken, the better it will be tak*n, and so where two equally good enumerators are to bo apoointed who will complete the canvass in two weeks, he advises that it is better to divide the work between two than to have one enumerator at work for a month. In theappoi- rmentof enumerators it will be found advisable, Mr. Porter states, to select men who have had some previous experience of official duty. The town ship assessors and other local officers, postmasters at small offices, county physicians and school teachers are re garded by Mr. Porter as likely to prove competent. Mr. Porter adds that he is aware of no law making women ineligi ble for appointment as enumerators. >^ LANDING FOR ALIENS. Governor's Island Will Replace tbe Historic Castle Garden. Washington*. Jan. 31.— Governor's Island will replace Castle Garden, New York, as the landing place of immi grants arriving in this country at the port of New York. It may take several days to determine the legal status of Governor's Island. Secretary Proctor is entirely willing to permit a portion of Governor's Island to be used as an immigrant station, and if he possess the power under the law to transfer the control of the island or a part of it to the secretary of the treasury he is pre pared to do so as soon as the necessary papers can be made out. The opinion is expressed in some quarters that action by congress may be required before the transfer can be made. In some quarters it is stated that the president possesses the power to direct the transfer. All these questions are now under consid eration and until the deeds are carefully examined, under which the government acquired the title to the island, and the laws under which it was transferred to the war department, no final aud con clusive step will be taken. ="->.- — i» • INDORSKRs HIT HARD.
