tiou at the Brooklyn Tabernacle this
morning sang with fervor the hymn beginning?
My faith looks up to thee
Thou lamb of Calvary.
Dr. Talmage's subject was the re luge
offered by the Christian religion to people
of all acres aed everv varietv of
character. His text was Ezekiel xvii,
23, "A goodly cedar, aud under it shall
dwell all fowl of every wing."
The ccdar of Lebanon is a ro,-al tree.
It stands six thousand feet above the
level of the sea. A missionary counted
the concentric circles and found one tree j
thirty-five hundred years old?lone rooted,
broad branches, all the year m luxuriant
foliage. The same branches that
bent in the hurricane that David saw
twafl-i'tKirnvor T.phannn rnr-k fodnv over
the head ot the American travler. This
monarch of the forest, with its leafy
fingers, plucks the honors of a thousand
years and sprinkles them upoa its own
uplifted brow, as though some great
hallelujah of heaven bad been planted
upon Lebanon and it were rising up with
all iis long armed strength to take hold
fcol the hillS whehce 11 UlimU.
^^Oh, what a line place lor birds to nest
?h^i hot da% s they come thither?the
^tfie dove, the swallow, the spar&Lthe
raven. There is to many
BB?Egtexiplcte fascination in the
j[ habits of birds. They

I catch the sound of the mghtpnd
robin. Among the first
pat a child notices is a swallow
aves, and grandfather goes out
khandful of crumbs to feed the
|us.
Bible is full of ornithological aliuThe
birds of the Biole are not
id stuffed, like those of the mujut
living birds, with fluttering
nd plumage. "Behold the fowls
ir ? sa-s ('hrisf,. " Though thou
Bbyself as tbe eagle, and though
Kt thy nest among the stars, tnence
1 bring thee down," exclaims
h. uGavest thou the goodly
g^unto the peacocks'?" says Job.
^describes his desolation by sayM

am like an owl of the desert; I
p and am as a sparrow alone upon
ousetop." k*Yea, the stork in the
hi knoweth her appointed time; and
irane, and the swallow observe the
their coming; bu my people know
Byo judgment ot the Lord"?so says
Bgpiah.
Hfekiel in my text intimates that
jVbt is the cedar, and the people from
Si quarters are the birds that lodge
Bong the branches. '"It shall be a
Bpdly cedar, and under it sbail dwell
U fowl of every wing." As in Ezekiei's
SSlme. so now?Christ is a gocdly cedar,
and to him are flying all kinds of people
?young and old, rich and poor, men
high soarlns as the eagie, those fierce
as the raven, and those gentle as the
dove. "All fowl of every wing."
First, the young may come. 01 the
eighteen hundred and ninety-two years
that have passed since Christ came,
I about sixteen hundred have been wasted
I by the good in misdirected efi'orts. Until
- liobert llaikes came there was no organized
effort for saving the young. We
spend all our strength trying to bend old
trees., when a little pressure would have
* been suliicient for the sapling. We let
i men go down to the very bottom of sin
before we try to lift them up. It is a
/ great deal easier to keep a train ou the
/ track than to get it on when it is oil'.
/ The experienced reinsman checks the
' fiery steed at the first jump, for when
/ be gets in full swing, the swift hoci's
clicking fire from the pavement and the
/ bit between his teeth, nis momentum i3
gajffi irresistible.
p? It is said that the young must be aljgjjf
lowed to sow their "wild oats." I have
K noticed that those who sow their wild
oats seldom try to raise any other kind
of crop. There are to opposite destinies.
If you are going to heaven, you had betf
ter take the straight road, and not try to
go to Boston by the wav of New Orleans.
What is to be the history of this
multitude of young people around me
tocay? I will take you by the hand and
k show* you a glorious sunrise. I will not
k whine about this thing, nor groan about
Sft it, but come, young men and maidens,
Jesus wants you. His hand is love, his
W voice is music, his smiie is heaven.
Religion will put no handcuffs on your
no hopple3 on your feet, no brand
W on your forehead.
I went through the heaviest suowI
storm I have ever known to see a dying
' girl. Her cheek on the pillow was white
^ as the snow on the casement. Her
| large, rouau eve xiaa not iusi <*uy <jx us
lusier. Loved ones stoood all around
the bed trying to Iiold her back. Her
. mother could not give her up, and one
nearer to her than either father or moth
erwasiranuc wiuisrtei. x saw, x?ui|?
ny, bow do youfeol!" "Oh!" she said,
"happy, happy! Mr. Talmage, tell all
W the young folks that religion will make
f them happy."
As I came cut of the room, louder
than all the sobs and wailio gs of srief.
I heard the clear, sweet, glad voice oi
ihe dying girl, "Good night; we shall
meet again on the other side of the
river." The next Sabbath we buried
her. We brought white flowers and laid j
them on the coliin. There was in all!.
that crowded church but one really j
happy and delighted face, and that was j
the lace of Fanny. Ob, I wish that j1
now my Lord Jesus would go through j;
this audience and take all these flowers j (
of youth and garland them on his brow, i
The cedar is a tit refuge for birds cf j
brightest plumage and swiftest wing.!

Come, old men, blind and deaf, come to j j
Jesus. If you would sweep your hand 11
around before your bund eyes, the lirst j
thing you would touch would be the j <

woman to have grown old without relig- f

and the grape have lest their flavor.
They say that somehow fruit does not j c

Their Iriends have all gone and every-!s

where they are, and they move their i
chair nervously and say, "I hope 1 ani t not

You have found this a tough world *

It is the spiritual .eyesight of divine 1
grace. Christ will not think that ycu *
are in the way. e
Does your head tremble with the t
palsy of old age? Lay it on Christ's j
bosom. Do you feel lonely now that j
your companions and children are ,
gone? 1 think Christ has them. They .
are safe in his keeping. Very soon he t
will take you where they are. I take ,

burden. Go with me. ~On a little while
longrr and your sight will come again,
and your hearing will come again, and
with the strength of an immortai athlete
you will step 0:1 the pavement of
heaven. 2so crutches in heaven, no
sleepless nights in heaven, no cross
looks for old people. Dwelling there
for age?, no one wiii say, "Father, you
know nothing about this; step back;
you are in the way!"
Oh, how many dear old folks Jesus
has put to sleep! How sweetly he has
closed their eyes! Ho?\' gently folded
their arms! How lie has put his hand
on their silent hearts and said: "llt-st
now, tirci pilgrim. It is ail over. The
tears will never start again. J Lush!
hush!" ^o he gives liis beloved sleep.
I think the most beautiful object on
earth is an old Christian?the hair
white, not with the frosts of winter,
but the blossoms of the tree of life. I
never f<:ei sorry i'or a Christian old
man. AVhv feei sorry for those upon
whom the glories of the eternal world
are about to burst ? They are going to
the goodly cedar. Though their wings i
nrp hoaw with a.e'e. God shall renew s
grace of God as though it were so many s
yards long and so many yards deep. <
People point to the dying thief as an <
encouragement to the sinner. How 1
much better it would be to point to our 1
own ease una say, "If God saved us he i
can save anybody." There may be those <
here who never'had one earnest word
said to them about their souls. Con- ;
sider me as putting my hand on your \
shoulder and looking in your eye. God 1
hus hppn cood to you. Yuu ask. "How 1
do you know that V lie has be<?n very ?
hard on me." "Where did you come ;
from?" "Home."' ''Then you have a i
home. Ilave you ever thanked God for <
your home?" Uave you children?" ]
"Yes." "Have you ever thanked God :
for your children? Who keeps them <
safe? Were you ever sick?" "Yes." :
"Who made you well ? Have you been ]
fed every day ? Who feeds you ? Put ;
your hand on your pulse. Who makes
it throb? Listen to the respiration of ]
your lungs. Who helps your to breathe? i
Ilave s ou a liible in'the hou3e, spread- ;
iocr before you the future life? Who <
gave you that 13ible?" ?
Ob,"it has been a story of goodness i
and mercy all the way through. You 1
have been one of God's pet children. I
Who fondled you and caressed you and
loved 3-ou? Afcd when you went astray j
and wanted to come back, did he ever 1
refuse? I know of a father who, after 1
his son came back the fourth time, :
said. "Xo: I forgave you three times,
but I will never forgive you again." i
And the sen went off and died. JJut <
God takes back his children the thousandth
time as cheerfully as the lirst. <
As easily as with my handkerchief ]
strike the dust off a book, God will )
wipe out all your sins. ;
There are hospitals for "incurables." '
When men are hopelessly sick, they are ;
sent there. Thank God! there is no
hospital for spiritual incurables. :
Thwitfh inn had thfi worst leorosvthat J

again like the liesh of a little child.
Oh, this mercy of Gcd! I am told it is
an ocean. Then I place on it four <
swife sailing craft, with compass and <
charts and choice rigging and skillful .
navigators, and 1 tell them to launch ,
away and discover for me the extent of i
this ocean
That craft puts out in one direction, <
and sails to the north; this craft to the <
south; this to the east; this to the west. <
They crowd on all their canvas and <
sail ten thousand years, and one day i
come up the harbor of heaven, and I ;
shout to them from the bet-.ch, "Have I
you found the shore ?" and they answer, s
"Xo shore to God's mercy!" Swift an*re!s.
disuatched from the throne, at- 1
tempt to so across it. For a million <
years they ily and fly, but then come i
back and fold their wings at the foot of
the throne and cry, "Xo shore! no i
shore to God's mercy!" t
Mercy! Mercy! Mercy! I sing it. 1
I preach it. I pray it. Here I lind a 1
man oouud hand and loot to the devil. 1
but with one stroke or tne nammer 01 <
God's truth the chains fall oft' and he i
is free forever. Mercy! Mercy! Mer- 1
cy! There is no depth it cannot j
fathom: there is no height it cannot
scale; there is no iniinity it cannot com- 1
pass. 1 take my staDd under this good- 1
ly cedar and see the hocks hying thither. 1
They are torn with the shot ot tempta- 1
lion and wounded and sick and scarred. c
Some fought with iron beak; some once 1
feasted oh carcasses; some were Gerce !
of eye and cruel of talon, but they came,
dork niter tlock?''All fowl of every
wing." " s
Again, all the dying will lirid their t
nest in this goodly cedar. It is cruel a
to destroy a bird's nest, but death does '
not hesitate to destroy one. There was j
a beautiful nest in the next street. ]
Lovingly the parents brocded over it. t
There were two or tnree nuie rooms m s
(lie nest. The scarlet fever thrust its v
h;mds into the nest, and the birds are
gone. Only those are safe who have ]
their r.ests'in the goodly cedar. They j
have over them '"the features of the r
Almighty." Oh, to have those soft, [
warm, eternal wiDgs stretched over us! f
Let the storms beat and the branches )
of the cedar toss on the wind?no dan- j"
?er. When a storm comes, you can see s
the birds Hying to the woods. Ere the v
storm of death comes down, let us fly j:
to tLe goodly cedar.

A Little Black Demon.
Coluiijha, 8. C., March 3.?Probablj
;he annals of child-crime will be
searched in vain to lind a parallel of
:he lh<ndish act of a five-year-old col>red
boy of this city, by which an infant
died a lingering death here today.
The sickening details might well
strengthen, the belief that i^pple maj
>till be possesseifof the thus
jnly, possibly, can be explained thi?
liabolical deed of a child so young as
:o escape responsibility of his act,
while exhibiting all the coolness and
11 ore than the unconcern of a murderer
of older years.
Last evening Addie Beacham, a col
>red woman living on Science alley;
lear the penitentiary, left her house,
eaving her infant of 7 months age in
:ne craaie. scarcely uau uie tuuiuct
rone out than Bad Harris, a boy of 5
pears of age, who lived next door, stole
n and approached the defenceless little
)ne. II* carried m his hand a sharp
pointed iron instrument made from a
spike, bent and sharpened, and apparently
through a liendish desire to afliict
suffering, io maim and to destroy,
plunged t he iron into the infant's skull
again an J again.
"indeed this demon in boy's form fairly
perforated the head and face of the
unfortunate baby, picked at its eyes
and jabbed the instrument into its
?ars. The child's cries attracted the
attention of its mother, who came
' * " * 1 " I />? lif f 1 A AT\fl
rustling J11. ouiy lu nuuj uri iittic viit
bathed in blood and in a dying condition.
Later she found Bud Harris at the
jate digging holes in the ground with
Lhe iron with which he had attacked
lhe child. Neighbors flocked to the
spot, and one of them, Bessie Johnson,
ivrung a confession from the juvenile
murderer, who seemed entirely uncon:erned
at the whole matter.
The child after lingering until to2ay
died about noon. An inquest was
iield this afcernoon. The boy butcher
repeat* d his confession to the coroner
and the jury rendered the following
ferdict: "That the infant of Addie
Beacuam cime 10 its death from
wounds ia the head inflicted by Bud
Harris, a child 5 j ears old, and we, the
jury, cannot hold him responsible on
account of his age."
"God I'anished Uh.''
St Louis, March -1.?The notion
store of Marcus Cohen, in Chouteau
ivenue, took tire at an early hour this
Doming and live minutes later an explosion
occurred which wrecked the
juiiding and the entire establishment
was consumed. The second story was
occupied by Cohen and his family, all
)f whom escaped unhurt except Mar
jus, who was so badly burned that ne
iied soon afterwards. Abraham Cohen,
mother of Marcus, who slept in the
store, was unable to get out and he was
Durned to death. Cause of the explosion
Is unknown.
On examination of the premises it
svas found that the gas fixtures had
ill been unscrewed allowing an uninterrupted
How of gas into the store room.
\ gasoline can, empty, was also found;
nquiry also developed the fact that a
;eam had been employed nearly all
light carting goods from the store by
ivay of the back entrance. These facts,
,vith other minor circumstances, make
t complete chain of evidence to the effect
that the men had prepared for an
iDDareotlv mysterious conflagration,
nit inadvertently, probably, one of
.hem lighted a match, and the gas
aden atmosphere of the store immediitely
exploded, causing the results aleady
noted. From the only surviving
nembers of the family, the wife and
:hildren, nothing can be learned beyond
he halt' confession conveyed in the
woman's moaning, "God punished us."

I SENATOR BUTLER SUGGESTS A WAY
OUT OF THE WOODS.
I
{ tie Believes that the May Convention lias
the l'ower to Take any Action for the
Good of the Party aud can Order ? General
Primary.
Washington, March 5.?To the
Editor of The News and Courier: Referring
to your editorial criticism of
my letter in your paper of the 3d instant,
wherein you call attention to the
provisions of the constitution of the
Democratic party in South Carolina in
regard to the manner of electing Governor
and State officers, I beg to remark:
That the constitution, as now
framed, will not permit of a primary
election.
t i M.A?ri
1 WHS IiUO uiiuiiuuiui vi luia piuiision
of the constitution, and I had in
view that a convention has been called
in May, and, although for the purpose
of sending delegates to the National
Convention, I do not understand it to
be solely and exclusively confined to
that duty. A convention coming fresh
from the sovereign people is a sovereign
body, and may do a great many
tilings not contemplated when It assembles.
It may correct errors and
mistakes, supply omissions, and restrain
commissions in any branch of
the organization necessary for the good
of the party. This at least is and has
always been my view of the power of
the people in convention assembled,
and 1 see nothing in the way of the
May Convention providing for a primorv
plpntinn nf (Jnvprnnr and Xtat? offi
cers, certainly none if a majority so
decides.
I have always believed, and believe
now. that it is always safest to give the
people the fullest, fairt-st, freest and
most untrammelled opportunity of expressiDg
their sovereign will at the
ballot-box. When the representative
stage is reached, where the representatives
of the people are clothed with and
exercise delegated powers prescribed
by 'aw, I should insist on a strict adherence
to those delegated powers, for
they are the charters under which they
act. Bat in primary assemblies of the
people no such strict rule sDouia odtain,
and such regulations or rules only
-should be insisted on as will secure an
orderly expression of the popular wiii.
Constitutions and rules and regulations
of political parties are by-laws for the
government of the party within party
lints. They contain no franchises or
special privileges. They are the voluntary
stipulations and agreements of the
members of the party, by and through
which they propose to act and pr?;serre
party organization. They should be so
framed and observed and executed as
to give them the greatest elasticity in
securing to its members the free expression
of their will.
Tarty organization is sometimes
called a "machine." As against au op- i
; posing party a machine may sometimes
Ho nonooaarv hut. it. ia nt>vpr safft t.fl
| work the machine against members of
its own party. As surely as this is done
another "machine" wilf be put in motion
in the same party. Two "ma
cbines" cannot be operated simultaneously
in the same party without jeopardizing
the safety of both.
In 1890 the Democratic party in.
South Carolina had an executive committee,
call it a 'machine," if you
piease, with Col. Hoyt as chairman.
The regularity and authority of this
committee was never questioned, as far
as I know. It wasjconducting the business
and affairs of the party In the
usual way, when outside of it, and independent
of Its authority, a convention
was called to meet in Columbia in
March. The convention did meet; it
nominated, or, as I believe it was said
at the time, "suggested," candidates
for state officers, certainly for Governor;
appointed an executive committee,
which took charge of its canvass. Thus
another "machine" was put in monon,
and we had two in the same party. We
know the consequences.
The lndicatious are we shall have
another March Convention, another
"suggestion" of candidates, another
executive committee within the Democratic
party. I do not see how the
March Convention of this year can be
objected to, with the precedent and example
of two years ago. How long
does any sane man suppose this can
j continue without a permanent rupture
of the Democratic party in me otate r
To my mind the approaching elections
will complete the rupture if some remedy
is not adopted.
1 shall always believe that if the last
State Convention had left it to the discretion
of the Executive Committee to
provide for a primary election, and the
present committee had arranged for
one, the contemplated March Convention
of this year would not have been
thought of, and we should have been
relieved of the present and approaching
complications and difficulties. 1
believe, now, if the May Convention
should by resolution recommend or provide
for "a primary election, all differences
will be settled at the polls within
the party, and we shall close up our dirant#
Who will take the responsibility of
opposing this fair and reasonable proposition?
Who wishes to defeat the
free expression of the popular will by
a primary? Who can afford to continue
the bickerings and suspicions aqd distrust
among Democrats? It shall not
hereafter be charged upon me. And I
wish to say in this connection that if
any more efficient remedy can be suggested
I will most cordially co-operate
in enforcing it. It will not do to tell
me I must abide by the will of the majority.
I always do that. I did it in the
last election, but that was nearly two
years ago, and witn other good Democrats
I want to know where the majority
is. If with the presentedmiuistra
tion j. snau amae Dy n; 11 wna me upposition
I shall abide by It. Let a primary
election in an open, fair field tell
us where it is. M. C. Eutler.
A Dael With Knifes,

Ed. Russell aod Al. Robinson fought

THE ASYLUM TROUBLE ENDED.
Governor Tillman Appoints ? New Board
ol KtL'euts.
Columbia, S. C., March 11.?K ?vill
be remembered that on the llih of la?t I
month all the regents of the lunatic asy- i
lum, with the exception of I)r. Tally,
resigned their positiou. this was done
because a recent act ot tlie legislature
provided that the board should be reduced
by lot from nine to live, and the
members of the board deemed it best to
resign and leave It !o the Governor of
the State to appoint a new board instead
of determining by lot who ol the old
board should be dropped.
Governor Tillman yesterday addressed
the iollowiug letter to the resigning
Resents: Messrs. B. W. Taylor,
Iredell Joces, J. C. Wilson, A.
White, W. J. Gooding, J. C. Mullins,
and A. II. Hayden.
Gentlemen: On February the llih
las?, I received a communication from
you tendering your resignatm* as
members of the Board of llegeuta oftfoe
boutn uaronna j^unauc asviulu, accompanied
by the following extract
irom your minutes. (The same as that
published above.)
The Act requiring a redaction in the
number of Regents from nine to five is
a peculiar one, and as none of its provisions
contemplated the action vow
have taken, I submitted the matter t>
the Attorney General: A brief summary
of his opinion is: "Tnat unless
the incumbent Ilegeuts determine by
lot the oies to remain on the lioard,
and those thus chosen shall determine
the length ot their respective terms,
that I as Governor, could only follow
one of two courses, viz.: fill the vacanA?AAtA/l
on/1 lnf" fnfiru ov nnin 1
L1C4 QU U 1UI UiiO Uv IF U| |;vmt>vww
draw lot, or appoint lour Regents to
serve with Dr. Tally who has not resigned
" In the first case, it' I accept
your resignations, you would uo longer
be "incumbent Regents," even if I rei
appointed you, and if I appoint four Re!
gents, to make the number five, such a
Board could not under the Act determine
the length ot their respective
terms, so as to conform to its provisions.
This is a strict construction ot
tbe law as it pissed the General Assembly.
But a consideration of the intentions
of the Act will show clearly that
the General Assembly only intended
two things: first, to reduce the number
of Regents to five; second, to make tbe
terms of the Reseats terminate at d:f.
frrprrt tirces. so as to have vacancies oc
cur every two years inetCad O-f allter- ]
minatiag at the same time. You have
refused to draw lots, as the Act requires,
aDd thus the machinery provided tor reducing
the Board is thrown out of gear,
and unless I take the responsibility of
carrying out the spirit of the Act it becomes
inoperative and defeats itself.
The resolution passed by your Bo<*rd
by an almost unanimous vole recognizes
the necessity and importance of
geographical distribution in the composition
of the Board, in which I concur:
and while I recognize your right to refuse
to carry out the Act I am soiry to
have to choose among men, u.l of whom,
as far as I know , have discharged their
du'y faithfully, just as you in resigning
have been actuated solely by a sense of
duty and a desire to promote the wellare
of the institution.
I hope you will give me credit for
similar motives. With this explanation
I notify you that jour resignations are
accepted to take effect immediately.
Yours very respectfully,
E. li. Tillman, Governor.
Governor Tillman then wrote the following
letter of appointment:
Messrs. B. W. Taylor. \V. J. "ooding,
A. White and Iredell Jones.
Gentlemen: You are hereby appointed
Regents of the South Carolina
Lunatic Asylum to fill vacancies caused

and I will ask the General
Assembly at its next session to legalize
such action. Yours respectfully,

A Family Kow.
Charleston, S. C., March 10?
There was a breeze on Broad street this
morning, in which T. Moultrie Mordecai,
a prominent lawyer, and W. W.
Jackson, a not-so-prominent broker and
man about town, were concerned. The
two men had been talking together when
Jackson was suddenly seen to strike
Mordecai. The lawyer promptly drew
a pistol and the broker fled precipitately
into his office, the lawyer following.
- ? L iL? A. *
Jac&aon soon emerged mruusju me utjui,
door again and sought refuge in another
lawyer's office. Mordecai was then persuaded
to walk away with a bystander,
and the proceedings were adjourned to
the courts, where Jackson's Iriends got
out a warrant charging Mordecai with
assault and battery, carrying concealed
weapons and several other offences.
Mordecai waived an examination and
gave bail lor trial. It is supposed that
family affairs are at the bottom of the
difficulty.
An Extraordinary Tragedy.
Columbus, Ga., March 7?Dr. M. W.
Peek, of Chattahoochee county, is in
jail, charged with the murder of M. A.
Thomas, a neighbor. The men quarrelled.
^uesday of last week, about
a leu'cc wnich "separated their properties.
Thomas finally started toward
the doctor with an open knife, but
Peek was too quick for him, and drew
a pisto.' and shot him in the right side.
While awaiting the arrival of physi- j
cians, Dr. Peek gave Thomas medical
attendance. When Thomas was re- j
moved to his home, he refused the aid ,
of other physicians' that had been sum
moned, expressing more conlidence in
the skill of his assailant. PeeK worked :
hard to save Thomas's lire, out iaueo, ;
and the latter died yesterday.

TUP Oi IPQTION OP A QUORUM.
Spf-Jtlcer C'ri?i> Ktiles that 2J[ensb??r8 Are
Not i'rcsetit Unlt-sH They Vote.
Washington, Msroh 4.?The bill for
the relief oi the personal representa- ,
lives of Major "W. II. Sibley was taken
up in the House today, and duriDg its
consideration a spat cook place between .
Speaker Crisp and Ex-Speaker Reed.
Major Sibley was in the army prior to
the late war and wait the ioventer of
the conical tent which was adopted by
the United States government. Subsequently
Major Sibley joined the Confederate
army and it was for this reason
that opposition was made to the measure.
J. D. Taylor of Ohio made the point
of no quorum and the committee rose.
Kilgore moved that the House take
a recess till 8 o'clock aud on a division
the vote stood 85 to 84.
Eoloe demanded tellers and they being
refused, raised tee point that no
quorum had voted.
Speaker?"The gentleman from Tennessee
makes the point of no quorum
on the motion to take a recess. The
Chair will have to appoint a teller."
llee<l of M;iine?"The gentleman does
not make the p^int of no quorum. He
makes the point that no quorum haa
voted."
Speaker?"Under the rules of the
House and under the present administration
of the House gentlemen are not
present unless they vote." [Applause
on the Democratic side.]
lleed?"That shows, Mr. Speaker, that
thera has been a new system adopted
since the last Congress."
Sneaker?'"That shows that the Dres
ent occupant of the chair will endeavor
to enforce the rules of the House as
they now exist." [Applause on the
Democratic side ]
lieed?'"Nevertheless, Mr. Speaker,
the observation I made is entirely correcr,
namely, that the point that the
gentleman "from Tennessee made was
that no quorom had voted, while the
Speaker states that the point he made
was 'no quorum.' My observation, noK.
withstanding the retort of theXfeai^
was entirely correct."
Speaker?"Perhaps it_4s", but it is entirely
out of order."/'[Democratic applause.]
'
lieed?"It is entirely correct, and
therefore the Chair had no risrht to
make such remarks,"
Speaker?"The-'gentleman may be
correct, butat the same time he is out
of orderjflfcmands for regular order.]
IteecyjjgHV&s entirely in order v?hen
attention of^fegffig^gk^o
tbe factr^
Speaker?"The Chair thinks not."
Keed?"Entirely in order."
Speaker?''"The Chair thinks the eentleman
is entirely out of order. There
was no occasion for any such reply.
The point was made, not by the gentleman
irom Maine, but by somebody else
?the point of no quorum. The Chair
entertained the point, whereupon the
gentleman from Maioe made his suggestion."
Reed?'"And thereupon I said to tbe
Chair that the gentleman made the
point that no quorum had voted and
that the Chair stated it to be a point of
no quorum, which is a different proposition;
and I had a right to call the attention
of the Chair to that. The Chair
had no right to make such a retort even
if lie was supported by the disorderly
applause on his side which he permicted."
Speaker?"The Chair will state that
there is no distinction under the present
rules of the House between a point
of no quorum and no quorum voting.
There was a distinction between those
two points of no quorum and no que
rum present as it was made under the
rules of the last Congress."
Eoloe of Tennessee?"I want to say
that the Speaker is abundantly sustained
by the authorities iu making retorts
to gentlemen on the floor."
[Laughter.]
Speaker?"The Chair does not intend
to recognize that."
During the colloquy between them
both gentlemen appeared to lose in
some degree their customary equani
ralty. ami their retorts, though couched
in polite language, were characterized
by earnestness and some degree of
warmth. The House then took a recess
untii 8 o'clock.
What the Dcxnucrats Will Sat*.
Washington, March 4.?Although
only four appropriation bills have been
passed, the chairman of the House appropriation
committee estimates that
the total of all the bills for this session
will be about 865.000,000 less than the
total of the same bills for the flrst ses
SlOU OL LU? iaai< xiaviuif
started ia to make a record of small
expenditures, tbe Democrats propose
to cu*, and prune at every possible
point, although they open the door
widely to criticism from the Republicans.
The latter naturally want to see
the appropriations come as near as
possible to the oillion dollar record,
but they will be disappointed. There
is the utmost harmony on the Democratic
side in this matter of running
the Government on the economical
principle and if they had only had control
last year there would not now be |
a depleted treasury.
It will be remembered that in tbe
early part of the session tiiese dis
patches contained an intervew witn i
Judge Holman, in which be said that
this Congress would save $100,000,000.
At that time the statement excited the
ridicule of the Republicans, who said
that such a reduction was impossible.
At the rate at which the Democrat*
are now cutting this vast sum will be
exceeded before Speaker Crisp lays
down the gavel on the 4th of March,
1898. It will be a record with which
the Democrats can go to the country
with proud heads, especially as it will
be shown that not a single necessary
expenditure of the Government has
been overlooked or neglected. But the
anDroDriatlon bills will be clean. They
will be free from all suspicion of jobs
and steals. They will be honest. They
will contain no item like that of the
83,000,000 tor the Choctaws and Chickasaw,
which was so apparent a fraud
that the President declined to pay it
out, and has referred the whole matter
back to Congress for new legislation.

of the seven convicts who escaped
from the saw mill of Mr. Eion, near
