WEDNESDAY, FEB. 5, 1889 REED’S INFAMOUS RULING. Speaker Reed, by his infamous ruling in declaring members pres- ent who did not vote,in order to make a quorum to sustain a party measure, violated a parliamentary law that has held good for over one hundred years and been upheld and sustained by the greatest statesmen the country has ever known, regard- less of party affiliation. When the Hon. James G. Blaine, the greatest man in the republican party of to- day, was speaker of the house, this same question was raised and such extreme partisans as Gen. Butler at tempted, on the floor of the house, to force the speaker to make this ruling. Mr. Blaine declared that the minority had rights that he was de- termined should be observed and auch a ruling would be revolutionary and throw down the bars that the constitution had wisely erected for the protection of the whole people, 1n order that even and exact justice might be done all parties. The dem- ocrats have had the pewer for years to do this very thing, had they been capable of committing so outrageous an act against common decency. Mr. Reed has refused, in spite of the urgent demands of the house, to submit rules for its government, though it has now been in session sinee the first day of December, the longest period the house was ever known to hold without rules being adopted. The cause is very appar- ent. Some seventeen contested elec tion cases are now pending, and it is necessary, in order for the repub- licans to have a working majority, that these seventeen democrats be unseated and their places filled by republicans. Some of the more con servative and fair-minded republican members could not be trusted to vote for this infamous clause if in- corporated in the rules, so it became necessary for Reed to be the chief villian in this villianous play, and right well he has sustained his part. The domocrats have fought nobly and contested every inch of ground in defence of their rights and liber- ties and that of the constituents they represent, but with a brutal disregard for their rights. for pa- liamentary law, for all decency, this self constituted Czar of the house re- peatedly ignored them, refusing to recognize ther on the floor, except to declare them present, when he has no official knowledge of that fact, and even refusing to entertain a motion te adjourn coming from that side of the house. Such infa- mous action of a brutal majority can but reap its just reward in the end, for the people, naturally fair-minded, will see to righting this next to the greatest political outrage of the nineteenth century, the one greater was the stealing of the presidency in 1876, which now finds its counter part in the stealing the seats of seventeen members of the house of representatives by the same party. a Editor Wade seems determined to run Judge DeArmond for some of- fice and from the tone of his last week's issue it would seem that he has not fully made up his mind what it will be. In fact, the Colonel has the Judge badly mixed, politically. Judge DeArmond is a gentleman and a scholar, and would fill with credit any position of honor or trust to which he might aspire. He is at present on the bench, and no man in the state ever interpreted the law more learnedly and impartially or presided with more grace and digni- ty than has Judge DeArmond. He has not signified his intention, so ning for any office, and it is doing him a great injustice to thus men- tion his name in connection with that of supreme judge, and, possibly, a half fices at the same time. The of Bates county would love te time he litical preferment he can coun! far as we have ever heard, of rune Ingenious Pension Device- The ingenuity and industry of the sin congress for the pension crank last twenty years have often seerned to exhaust the subject, leaving noth | ing more discoverable in that field. | But that it is possible for genius to spring a surprise on the country) even in pension legislation is shown | by the bill introduced yesterday into | the house by Mr. Kelley, of Kansas, to pension “the widows and orphans; of people killed for political pur-j poses since the close of the late! war.” Apart from the novelty of| the principle as a whole, the phrase | “for political purposes” has a vague- ness suggestive of statements and affidavits which would eclipse the most extraordinary known, even un-) der the existing system of military and naval pensions.—New York| Times. The martial attitude of Senator In-| galls, just now, is strongly suggest- ive of the knightly exploits of Don Quixote. In fighting the creatures of his own imagination he is not to be surpassed by Cleveland’s hero. When he cuts and slashes at his im- aginary foes it is almost possible to here the hack of the Don’s sword demolishing the wine skins. As he strikes at his visionary helmet of treason one is reminded of the Don's furious assault upon the innocent barber's basin. Don Quixote was cured, at last, of his phantasies. He became a knight when the age of; chivalry was waning to its close. Mr. Ingalls becomes a warrior when, the war is over. There is a striking similarity in their careers, and cal are thus led to hope that, like his unte-type, the Kansas senator may} yet be brought to see the error of his ways.—Republic. Among all the names of promi- nent gentlemen mentioned to fill the office of mayor of the city of Butler, none has met with more favor than that of the Hon. James K. Brugler. He isa live, energetic worker for the city’s good, always to the front in all enterprises, liberal to a fault, fairminded and honorable in all his dealings, both public and private, he would make a mayor of whom the cit izens could well feel proud. Mr Brugler is not a candidate for the office and we do not know that he would accept it. But we do know that no better man could be chosen for the position and believe that he would accept this public trust if his fellow citizens deemed him the man for the place. Mary Aun Dougherty has been sent to jail again by a Washington police judge for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. This is the same Mary Ann whose pension bill President Cleveland vetoed and for which he was roundly abused by the republican newspapers. Just think what a glorious old time Mary might have had with her pension money if it had not been for an un. grateful and hard-hearted president. —Kansas City Times. Another scheme is on foot to get an appropriation through congress tolock and dam the Osage river. Secretary of War Proctor kas trans mitted to the house of representa- tives the reports of the survey of the Osage river with estimates on cost of constructing a lock and dam to inaugurate a system of stock-water navigation. This is a good moveand we hope to see the appropriation made. To Repea! Negro Suflrage. Jackson, Miss, Jan. 31.—The memorial resolution introduced by General A. N.

A minority recommed- ing that the bill do not pass was al- so read. ‘The memorial was made a special order for February 4.

Tracy, Secretary of the Navy, in President Harrison’s cabinet, caught fire at 6:45 this morning and was completely demol- and basement brick, situated on I street between Connecticut avenue and Seventeenth street and had re- cently been extensively improved. Persons passing the house this suing from the front windows and gave the alarm. The premises were almost concealed by a dense smoke which was thickened by a heavy fog. Firemen soon discovered that the/ house was all ablaze inside and that the main stairway was burned away thus cutting off communication with the sleeping apartments on the sec- ond and third floors. A scene of wildest confusion ensued when it was known that all the members of the family were in the house. The firemen behaved like heroes and went through fire and smoke search- ing for them in the various apart- ished. The house was a three story | he could render and 11:45 a. m. was still with Mr. Tracy. THE PRESIDENT BREAKS THE NEWS.

Finally it was concluded that the best course would be to tell him the truth, as the terrible suspense might retard his own recovery, and the President was given the sad com- mission. Mr. Carlisle at Work. Washington, D. C., Feb. 2.—Mr. Carlisle said last evening that he was preparing an address, giving an explanation of the democratic posi- tion, and it would probably be made public to-morrow or Tuesday.

TRACY'S NARROW ESCAPE. Secretary Tracy himself had u wonderful escape and is now lying in a somewhat precarious condition at the house of J. C. Bancroft Davis on H. street, near eighteenth. He was overcome in his sleep by the smoke which filled the house, and was discovered in this condition. With considerable difficulty he was removed to a place aear one of the windows. Cries for a ladder were quickly answered and many willing hands were raised to assist him to descend. He was at once removed to a neighbor’s house and was soon surrounded by physicians, including Drs. Wales and Ruth. He was suf- fering from asphyxia. | The doctors applied artificial ceeded after an hour’s werk in re storing him to semi consciousness. It was then thought safe to remove him to Judge Davis’ house.

Washington, Feb. 3.—Mrs. Alice Copinger, the eldest daughter of Secretary Blaine, who has been se- riously ill for several days past with brain fever, the result of an attack of la grippe, died at the Blaine res- idence at 5 o'clock yesterday morn- ing.
