Wkdsksoat AtoBrare, Fjb. 19. 0 AO EXILE The Congress of the United States is generally supposed to be a delib erative body, where measures are presumed to be discussed and acted upon in accordance with their merits. That used to. be the pre sumption, but it isn't always the case, especially so in these days when public measures are settled in caucus and the action of the ma jority determined upon before the measure is submitted to the Souse for so -called debate. We are speak ing here of the House of Bepresen tatives, for the Bepublican majority hare not yet been able to establish gag rule in the Senate, where there still exists freedom of debate, al though the Republicans, have sev eral times tried to cut it off. Under Speaker Reed the gag rule was enforced so imperiously that the Speaker was frequently re ferred to as "Czar Reed" and he seemed to enjoy the royal distinc tion. But the gag is just as Cxar ish now as it was under Czar Beed. There ought to be in all delibera tive assemblies freedom of debate, for the men whose business it is to propose and discuss public measures and publio policies are not speaking for themselves but as the represen tatives of constituencies whose in terests and prosperity are dependent upon these measures and policies. They should be looking after the in terests and prosperity of the people and not be governed by partisan considerations and the possible ef fect that this or that measure might have on the politics of the future. There are in the House of Repre sentatives 356 members. All of the members never speak on any measure, bu many do or would if the opportunity were given, and when debate on an important meas ure in which the whole country is ' interested is limited to a couple days, it simply becomes ridiculous. But when measures are decided in caucus before there is any debate upon them, of course "debate", so call, becomes a mere matter of formality, can effect nothing and, therefore, the limiting of time to two days, or one day, or cutting off debate altogether doesn't make any material difference. The caucus does the work and the mem bers who are governed by it simply vote aa directed and register the will of the caucus where only one side is heard. It is the caucus, King Cau cus, who collars the member who might be disposed to do some think ing and acting for himself, drags him in, muzzles him and makes him vote' regardless of how he feels or what he thinks. Mr. Babcock, of Wisconsin, is a prof essed tariff reformer. He de clarea that tariff duties should be taken off those manufactures which are sold for less in foreign markets than they are in the home market. A considerable number of Bepubli can members agree with him, but Mr. Babcock and his following were dragged into caucus,- muzzled, and they went into the House, sat mum end when the test came voted for the gag rule, Monday, that cue off debate on the bill repealing war taxes, and preventing the offering of any amendments by the Demo cratic minority. That was the object of this gag rule, in the face of the fact that many of the Bepublican leaders have been talking of tariff reduction as one of the ways of breaking the monopoly that the big trusts now have on the home markets. In his . Iast; message to Congress President McKinley recommended that, and that recommendation was apparently echoed by the Bepubli can leaders in Congress, but no sooner had Mr. Babcock, of Wiscon sin, begun to formulate and crystal ize some of those recommendations than some of the Bepublican leaden who didn't take any stock in tariff reduction began to kick and de nounce him as a free trader who would throw open our ports to the products of foreign countries and destroy the industries tb.it the "Dingley tariff had built up." The great Steel Trust for instance, ships its manufactures abroad and sells them for about $10 a ton less than it demands of the home purchasers, and yet some of those anti-reduction statesmen declared that a red notion of the tariff duties would ruin the Steel Trust and flood our market with cheap steel from. Canada a strong argument, if true, why there should be a reduction of duties on steel manufactures. But they never intended to give the home consumers the benefit of tariff reduction on Bteel or other ex ported f manufactures, and the wil lingness and celerity they showed in passing this bill repealing war taxes is a proof of that if any proof were needed, for with the revenue re duced that much it will gire , them an excuse not to make any further reduction, on the ground that reve nue must be produced to meet the requirements of! the Government, and therefore there can be no more cutting down. xr , f t. . v The J have - been talking about legislation to regulate the trusts, ... " it mw ' nrnit . m ntrtmrt nni n ) avveata ektsm the evils of monopolies, etc, out that is as far as it will go talk and nothing more. They have no idea of antagonizing the trusts, whose contributions they have found so useful in political campaigns,. and: for which they will still have use. They have passed the war tax repeal bill to-placate the people who. were Opposed to that, and they are going to hold the favor and support or tne trusts by not doing anything to an tagonize them. That's where tne gag rule comes in. CRTJMPACKEB.'S THIRD TIP. Mr. Crumpacker had his third tip at a caucus Monday night to consider his scheme to reduce South ern representation, but as many members didn't put in an appear ance at that as at the two preceding caucuses. In the meantime Mr. Crumpacker had signified his will ingness to modify his scheme and be content with some action which would look to what he considered "fairer" elections and "fair repre sentation. The result in the third caucus was an agreement on provid ing for a committee of investigation to make inquiry and report to as to what might be necessary in the way of legislation to accomplish this. .That is considerable of a let down for Mr. Crumpacker, who probably feels Bomewhat like a man who had been sat upon, and it is a victory for those Southern Bepublicans who opposed his scheme and favored the enactment of some law to insure "fair elections" under which there would be a better chance to elect some more Bepublican members in the South or to have the Bepublican contestants counted in if they were not elected. Some of them have mapped out what they would like to have done, but what they would like to have done is such a radical departure from anything that has been done before, or attempted heretofore, that it is very doubtful if they can secure a committee which will rec ommend that, so that we will have to wait until the committee reports (if the committee plan should go through) to see what it will do. In the meantime nobody down this wav is losing any sleep over what it may or may not do. For the present they are satisfied that Mr. Crumpacker, with his little scheme, has been knocked out. . WHERE OUR EXPORTS 00. There is not a civilized country under the sun to which more or lees of our exports do not go. A Treas ury statement has just been pub lished showing the countries which were our customers last rear, and the amounts they bought from us, the following interesting summary of which we clip from the Baltimore Sun: "Of our total export of $1,465,880. 919 as much as $1,099,574,018 went to Europe. Our next best customer was Canada, wbieb bourht of us to the amount of $109,598,675 the total for all North America being; $199,240,353. Compared with Canada the South American market was of minor im portance, the aggregate of the pur chases of all the Sooth American peoples being but $43 557.504. Asia bought more $59 068 731 Tn islands of tbe Pacific txragbt $35,288,230 worth and Africa $? 658.093 worth. Of tbe $1,099,574,016 or our export to Burone ornithine over half, of $599,700 000 went to tbe British ports of Europe, and of our entire exports of $1,465 380. 919 tbe proportion s-nt to tbe various ports of Edward Vila dominions was $794,300,000. or considerably over one balf. The proportion of our exports sold to France was notewortbv, being $78,405,972. Oar sales to Germany were much larger, reaching- $184,678, 723. Belgium took $51,444 815 worth ; Denmark, $18,480,816 worth ; Busaia, $8,504 817 worth, ripmin. $16,785,711 worth; Mexico, $36,771 568 worth, and Austria-Hungary. $6,843,983 worth. Argentina and Brazil each took about $11,000,000 worth of our prod net, while far-off China took $18,175 484 worth. Japan's purchases were worth $31,162 477, wnil Australia bought to tbe amount of $30,569 814 and British Africa to the amoutt of $24,894 766." These figures are not only inter esting but they are instructive and suggestive. There has been much talk recently about the "open door" in China, as if that and Asiatic trade were absolutely necessary to the prosperity of this country, when as a matter of fact our trade with those nations is insignificant compared with onr trade with some of the European countries and their colo nies. And ret we are antagonizing by tariff laws and Treasury rulings some of onr best customers and pro voking them to adopt retaliatory measures to lessen onr trade and practically close their ports against it. This is not sense, much less statesmanship. Now and then a friend of the spar row comes to the front to show that he is not the unmitigated nuisance he is generally supposed to be. An English naturalist who has been studying how: the sparrow gets his rations followed up a pair which had a family and found that in a week they carried no less than 3,200 in sects to their young ones. , He cal culates that in the course of one summer an able 'bodied 1 pair will destroy at least 50,000 insects. Now we feel like modifying a good many harsh things we have said about the sparrow. Power Wright, of Denver, CaL, inventor of an air ship, says he isn't going to have his ship roiled to the St. Lionis Exposition on wheels, but will scoot down there in mid 1 air MHAOWcW. inyenter also threatens to do the same.

CURRENT CU.MMEN'I There is practically no longer due debate or deliberation in the House of Representatives at Wash ington. The Bepublican majority first goea into caucus and legislates; the Committee on Rules does the rest. Philadelphia Record, Deni. The republicans are booked for, more trouble witn the Congress man Babcock and his amendment of the Dingly iron and steel duties. He's a stubborn man has convic tions and the courage of them. He doesen't believe that robbery ought to be first materilized and then can onized because it happens to get in to one's party creed. Chattanooga Times, Ind. Great Britain attempted to substantiate its claim to be the savior of these United States in 1898. The attempt was not particularly happy. The plodding and the me thodical German has pulled the rec ord on her and made the claim look like a plugged nickle. We are more than ever persuaded that the salva tion or this conntry in 1898 was in its avoirdupois. Norfolk Virginia Pilot, Dem. The barbarism of war is strik ingly illustrated in the account of Lord Kitchener's drive, published iu our dispatches yesterday. Kitch ener and bis forces surrounded the Boers precisely as if they had been ferocious wild beasts, and endea vored to drive them within the range of his guns where tbey might be annihilated. Had tbey been boars instead of Boers, tbe process would have been very much tne same the beating of the veldt, the driving and the slaughter. It is war, of coutse, but it is nevertheless horrible Savannah Netos, Dem. TWIMCLINUS. Customer Is jour bread nice and light! New Bker' Boj On, yes. rather, mum !

Tbe Invention provides a new system of connecting devices, between pick lever mecahism and tbe pick stick doing away with canvass, leather, and wood-block connections. Tbe new de vice causes the picker stick to haye a positive motion, and as there is no part to stretch or give way it will. when once adjusted, run indefinitely without further attention from the fixer. It also strengthens the picker- stick so that there will be no splitting. Mr George Gray believes the inven tion to be a useful one.

"But I recently saw a couple of Illustrations of what tough feet are. "While at St. Petersburg. Fla.. I had occasion to employ a conch, or salt water native, to help me get my boat into the water. I gave him a cigar and a match St the beginning of the engagement, and he was about to strike the match upon the freshly painted side of the boat, but something in The expression of my face must have deterred him, as he suddenly withdrew bis hand, raised his bare foot and scratched the match upon bis heel.

It is wrong to cut the blooms from a tall stem and mass them closely In a low, flat dish.! It is a mistake to ar range flowers so that their heads will press closely together. They should, in stead, be allowed to flare and spread in the same manner as Indicated by na ture.
