If reports from Y-iliimrtn are to lie lelievel t!ie litl.-iliess of the I Ioum- of Krpre-eiitativ's is prac tintllv at a t:i!nlslill, heeaiise the doiiiiiiaiit party cannot keep a quorum of its meinhers in the hall. It i eutomarv in that hody for the party in power to jnaintain a iUoiuni of its members in-order to control the House and hold the leadinir strinirs of whatever husiness mav eonie up. Otherwise the eon duct of the public ltuiness would depend upon opposition votes, and a contingency miirht arise when the minority would lie practically in control of the House and miirht pa- measures which would serious ly einlianas the Administration. Speaker Keed partially evaded the respon-il)ility of this time-honored custom Ity counting the mem bers present and not yotiiur, t:ikinr can- that a majority of the quorum should lie Republican voters. In this way he was enabled to keep the business of the House roinr, and managed to enact a very Iarre volume of laws which would have been impossible had he not resort ed to this parliamentary expedient. Speaker Crisp cannot with very irood irraee resort te the same strat egy, and it is probable that the storm of popular disapproval which was vi-ited upon Speaker lieeel will deter any Speaker of the House from posinir as a Czar airain. So that for the time beinir, at least, there is no possibility of action, simply because the members of the Democratic party in Congress, for one reason and another, do not wish to appear in the House as champi ons of the Administration measures. This seriously all'ects the pro gramme of legislation mapped out for the Fifty-third Congress. It will lie necessary not only to brimr a recalcitrant and discordant ma jority under leadership, but it will probably be necessary to make cer tain concessions in the revenue bills as the trice of such unity of action. The situation presented is by no means an anomalous one. Doubt less one or two caucuses ami a cer tain amount of agitation and dis cussion will etl'eet a reconciliation amonir the members of the tarty to the extent of making a workinsr majority. The situation naturally produces a dishearteninir ell'ect nit on the promoters of the taritl bill. and the various measures relating to revenue and finance, and it will doubtless have the etlect of in creasing the opposition t(t those measures. Few observant men, however, are prepared to admit that it will result in anything more serious than a temporary deadlock in legis lation, w hich w ill be broken as soon as the proper organization can be effected in the majority of the House of Representatives. the ri:orosEi income tax. Such tarts of the bill providing for an income tax as have been made public lead up to the conclu sion that very mild measures are proposed to increase the national revenues by this means. The income tax, it is estimated, will etl'eet only about S." 1,1.100 indi vidual incomes, the rest being ar ranged to fall upon tirnis and cor porations where the burden will be divided among many persons. It is proposed to raise s:Jo,000,oOO in this way. All incomes less than s 1,01 to are exempt, and those over that figure are to be taxed only in excess of that amount. This will make the burden comparatively light, and the proposed law need have no terrors for the people. lint there will be trouble with the income tax on principle. It is an innovation a direct tax, and the scheme proposed strikes an ar bitrary line through the business community, placing a parr of the people on one side and a part on the other, and taxing those w ho are unfortunate enough to be reckoned among the wealthy few. They will ay the law is unjust, and it will be very dillicult to reconcile a large part of the American people to the wisdom (tf an income tax at all. It w as unpopular in the sixties, and it is not likely to trove other wise in the nineties. The muddle coneerninir the col leetorsliip (tf the Western District lms tit lust been settled. For the sake of party harmony Air. Kope Klias, the present incumbent, re signed and on Monday, Mr. Melvin K. Carter, of Ahoville, was ap pointed in his stead. On the same day, Mr. O. J.

From mir Iti'tfuliir ('orrc'sjioniU'iit. Wasiiixotos. T). C, Jan. (. 1S!4. Chairman Wilson is not rece iving the support lie deserves from the Democratic members of the House. Fie had worked himself into a state bordering on physical exhaustion in order that the tariff" bill might be called up as soon us the House met on Wednesday, and his disappoint ment can only be imagined when he saw that the tariff bill could not be taken up on that day because of the absence (tf a quorum of Democrats, it being the policy of the Republi cans not to allow the bill to be con sidered without a quorum, which they will refuse to assist in making. Inasmuch as every Democratic mem ber knew the importance of having a quorum of their own members pres ent this absenteeism is inexcusable. The whole country is demanding prompt action on the tariff, and at the very opening of the session a day is thrown away. The tariff programme as mapped out by Chairman Wilson was: five days for general debate, eight days with evening sessions for discussion under the five-minute rule, during which the internal revenue amend ments decided upon this week the 2 per cent tax on all incomes of $4,000 and over: the increase in the tax on cigarettes to $1."i0 per 1.000; the increase in the tax on whiskey to $1.00 per gallon, and the tax of 2 cents per pack on playing cards are to be adopted, and the final vote to be taken on the 17th of January; but it will not fie possible to carry out this or any other programme, if a Democratic quorum cannot be kept here all the time; already the day of the final vote has been changed to January 22. This absenteeism is more the result of the big Democrat ic majority than indifference. Each member who stays away probably thinks there will be a Democratic quorum without him. but so many stay away that there isn't. The investigation of the relations of this Government with Hawaii is being pushed by the sub committee of the Senate committee on Foreign Relations. All of the witnesses heard up to this time have been gen tlemen who took an active part in the annexation movement and the formation of the provisional govern ment of Hawaii; consequently the testimony has all been of one kind. Although the proceedings are sup posed to be secret, the nature of the testimony taken becomes known al most as soon as it would if the hear ings were public. Considerable com ment not favorable to ex-Minister Stevens has been indulged in this week. Senator Frye had reported the health of Mr. Stevens to be so precarious that it might prevent his coming to Washington to testify be fore the committee, yet the newspa pers all contained accounts of his having traveled from his home in Maine to Rhode Island in order to deliver a speech on Hawaii at a club banquet. Now the question is being asked, why, if his health permits him to attend bauquets and sit up two-thirds of a night to make a set speech, it should prevent his coming to the mild climate of Washington and giving the committee a few hours of his time during the day? Perhaps the oath which the committee admin isters to its witnesses may have something to do with the reluctance of Mr. Stevens. A man doesn't have to swear to statements made in a banquet speech. The Democratic House caucus which meets to-night will settle for good and all whether the Democrats of the Ways and Means Committee have made a tariff bill worthy of the support of the party, or whether the work of the committee shall be re vised before the bill is passed. Every Democrat who has, or thinks he has, a grievance will be given an oppor tunity to state it and to ascertain whether the majority sides with or against him. When the caucus de cides that settles it and the bill as finally approved will be loyally sup ported by every Democrat who at tends the caucus. It is thought probable that it may be necessary to continue the caucus for several nights in order to hear all that those opposed to several of the tariff sched ules and to the income tax amend ment may desire to say, and confi dently expected that it will ratify the work of the committee as a whole, although there may be some minor amendments made in portions of the bill. The opposition to the individual income tax will probably develop the most strength, owing to the vote in the committee having been so close six to five and to President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle being in doubt as to its ex pediency. Representative Bland has intro duced a bill in the House, providing for the immediate issue of $55,000. 000 of silver certificates to supply the treasury with money to meet the growing deficiency.

The executive 'committee of the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly met in Raleigh and appointed More head City as the next place of meet ing. Nothing is said about an elec tion of officers, but probably that was not the time and place for it. In view of the furor raised about Secre tary Eugene Harrell's World's Fair excursion last, summer, it was to have been expected that the commit tee would either have vindicated him or nailed his ears to the town tump. The good of the Assembly demands that before plans are laid for the year this Harrell business be settled. The Colonel may be all right; but as it now stands the Assembly is in bad odor 011 account of the charge against the secretary.
