Despite the many reverse Bland has met in bis at tempts to procure a qnorum be is as de termined aa ever to fiht it out on tbis line, if It takes all winter. If he don not sneered, however, in the course of a few days it is not probable that the speaker and hi associates on the rules committee will permit his bill to longer block the path of bnsinesa. As the opponents of the measure have now adopted an open filibustering policy a rubs will be formu lated by the committee on rules to pre vent this and lirina- the vote down direct' ly to Bland's motion. A caucus will be held tonight or tomorrow to consider the qnestlon of so amendment to the rules which will give the speaker the power to count a quorum or place it In bis power to cumral a member to Vote with the alternative of Dnins him. rajruter Ma. a Sew Beta. rayntcr of Kentucky, who started to call, Lira drawn up a new rule which be thinks overcomes the objections of ninny members to Ills draft of a rule for record Ins llio present and not voting without fining them. TUU rule incorporates a new principle tlmt the afflrnutive votes on a call must be a majority of I ho officially recorded, both as vciiug aud as present and not votiug, in order thnt the vote shall I a legal one to diviili the pending question. 1 be proposed rule is as follows: Hut should a quorum fiiil to vote arm the poiut lie made thnt no quorum bad voted there shall tie a enll of the house and the yea and najs on the M-nding question . at the same time lie ordered. 1 he clerk shall mil the roll and each member as he answers to his name or is brought before the bouse under the proceedings of the rail of the hottse shall voteon thepend tug qnestlou.

But none of thee can lie made effective for breaking the present deadlock. Iw-cnuse the caucus will not meet antil the Bland bill is dipovd of in some way. While It would m-ciu from the num ber who signed the caucus call that a majority of the Ik-uiocmt iarnr some methisl of preventing !Uilutrring. sume of the leading mctulK-r do not desire to push such a moditicntiou of the rules at the end of this long fight. Will Likely llr a tint FIeUU With eighty majority they think they should first vindicate their ability to ex tricate themselves from the present hu initiating position and afterwards, they argue, the events of the past two weeks would furnish ample justilicntiou for such a modification of the nili-s. The outlook lot the week is therefore full of contin- grncies. The struggle over the Bland hoi amy drift into a big parlinuieutarv contest over a change in tin- rules, in which event there will be some bitter oppmition mani tented from the IfemiKratlc side.esiieciullv if the proiosed rule contemplates lodging In the sneaker's band the power to couut a quorum.

The Pc-pnlisU of the bouse regard the action of the St. Louis convention upon the Wilson bill as an endorsement of their attitude toward the measure. Said Jerry Simpson: "We aid from the start that we would not vote for the bill unless the income tax were at tached to it. Until that was added, as the record shows, we refrained from voting to make a quorum. The income tax is the saving clause of the bill, because it is a step toward free trade, being direct tax ation. We believe in free trade and we do not believe in this tariff for revenue idea." Tke Hum Bues Nothing.

I am entirely satixliod after such examination that Mr. Wimuu has com mitted no crime. 1'nlesa 1 am greatly misinformed -the trial will develop a state of facts which will show that Mr. Wiman is not only not a criminal but thnt he has done nothing that ran seriously reflect upon his honor or integrity as a man. I am not in the habit of trying my coses in the news papers, but in view of the extent to which this course has been taken by Mr. Wimnn's enemies and certain of hissupiosed friends I think it only just to hi in that I should make this statement."

St. Paul, Feb. 54; Archbishop Ireland preached in the Cathedral of St. Paul on the Roman Catholic church in America. He said the churchMnder the constitution bad all the rights aA privileges which she desired. The ;ouit Vi liberty of the coun try was hers, and at was all-sufficient. The great muss of fs people of America, he added, were U Jl to the letter and spirit of the const i feion and allowed the rights of lloinon C aolics. Those who re fused them their rifeits were few, and they should not be liei-deal Some Cat holics do harm to tha church by. their imprudent methods of defending her. An existing anti-Catholic party would soon die out if it were not noticed. Catholic papers, in crying out so loudly against it, give to it importance and tire the country. It looks as if Catholics were gtnd to hare a fight on their hands. ' Too Mneh Polities In the Matter. Politics have muchtodo.no less with the defense than with the attack, and a uprenie effort must lie made by ail devoted Catholics to keep the church from en tangling alliances with any political party. Catholics iudividually are most free their political alliances, but tbey must not bring th church with them to this or that party. tfo one political party in this country todn ownsor can lay claim to alliance witn tlnachurc-n. and it were a great mifortnne toflie church were she the ly of oue special Tarty. Catholics belong to all parties and lLJl s well thai this is the - BrllsioB Xaifbr ltasi ot Totlnir. When American! itizens vote their basis of decision must hi not the religion of the candidate, but lija citizenship tuid his personal fitness fir the oQice. To put in office a man beensno he is a lrotestaiit is wrong: to put a ma iu oRice because he is Catholic is wrang. 1 he constitution which gives the suHrage does not consider the man's reltgioB hut a man's honesty and ability. The archbishop depreciated the custom of mine Komun Catholic pa pers to boast when a Roman Catholic re ceives political hoifiirs. Thorough Aanp-icaniKai the Noed.
