Importance of the Question. The country is not interested, especially in the fate of the Ford's theater accident claims, but 1t is intensely interested in the forthcoming decision of this committec, for it will be so farreaching in its results as to effect every civil employe of the go rs Involved. be responsible fo W by its argued with much force v trains were subjected to extraord ing gers, and when injured should be pensione or if killed there should accrue to the de- pendent family some support from the goy- clllm(‘l\!

Mujority Must Bear the Brant. The purpose of the republicans in the house in demanding a quorum of democrats present before the Wilson tariff bill is taken up is to compel the majority to assume all of the responsibility for action upon that measure. ‘The democrats have & majority of 100 1n the house and the republicans feel that the democrats snould maintain a quorum_ and take allof the responsibility for action when the resolution is brought up. When the McKinley bill was called up half » dozen democrats filibustered night and day for a weck withsthe same objec shat the minority of the congress manding & quorum of the majority. refusal of about fifty or seventy democrats now in the city to vote in order to make a quorum has bohind it w twofold object. Some of them will vote sgainst the Wilson bill as it stands and are striking over the shoulders of the republicans and are also trying to give their constituents at home an_opportunity to ex- press their views. Others oppose an income tax and want to compel the ways and meaus committee to make of that proposition a measure separate from the tariff biil. Populats Dislike Cleveland. The populists are refraining from voting and acting with the republicans because they believe that the president really wants An incon ax, and they hh.mrly detest Grover Cleveland. ‘The use of force to com- pel the attendance of democrats who are wbsenting themselves from Washington nt this time purpose will not add strength to cither 1 bill or income taxes.
