Purchases the Immen-e Dry
Goods bto.k.
OF CHARLES D. WOOD.
Tlie more Stock will be Removed
to the J. Kuttner Stand and Bar
pain Seekers Permitted to revel.
Ike May, the shrewd buyer ot
the great dry goods and clothing
hOUBfI of J. Kuttner, has closed a
trade with Chas. D. Wood the up
town dry goods prince and as a
result the entire stock of Mr,
Woods establishment will be mov
ed into the big Kuttner store.
For some time, Mr. Wood has
been endeavoring to get out of
business— his health having failed
so that when h« and Ike May mat,
he was ready to offer such a dare
as never goes unchallenged by Mr,
May.
The passes were swift and deci
sive and every charge or parry
meant business—the trade was
consumated and the $40,000 worth
of bargains will be moved into the
big J. Kuttner house and thrown
on the market at prices that will
dazzle couGjeitors and kapture
kustomers, The stock will be re
moved at once.

ROME GEORGIA. TUESDAY EVENING APRIL 17. 1894.
REEDS RULE'S.
They are Adopted by the
Present Congress
CANT GET A QUORUM
And are Forced to Swallow the Verj
Rule They condemned so Bitterly
two Years ago the next Congress
Will be Democratic, and None btt
Democrats Put on tiuarrt.
Washington, April 17. —Th»
new ru • to count a qorum will ’ e
reported to the house from the
committee on rules tomorrow. It
w >tj completed today. It is unlike
Reed'a old rule, in that this pro
vide* for the appointment of tel
lers who shall stand at the desk
and count those member* present
and not voting, while under Reed's
rules the speaker himself did the
counting. The public will quickly
grasp the distinction. Under this
rule there can be no counting of
hat* or members who are in the
restaurant or in committee rooms.
Th# two teller* will be of differ
ent political parties. Each will be
a check upon the other aud only
members present in the hall of the
home can be counted.
The new rule will not provide
for fining members. That is al
ready a law. It has never been en
forced, but hereafter the sergeant
at-arms will be required to enforce
>t. When members understand it is
to be enforced ard their salaries are
to be deducted the rule to count
members will not be necessary ou
many occasions.
Speaker Crisp fought Reed s tac
tics in counting a qourum in the
fifty-first congress. It will be re
membered, however, that the fight
made against Reed was when he
counted a quorum before he had
the authority of the house to do so
—before the hou«e had adopted
his rules. At that time, acting un
der all the precedents of tb*» past
in the house of lepresental v s, h i
believed the counting of a quorum
by the speaker to be uncoustitu
tijnal. He likewise believed it was
pthciug too much arbitary power
in the hands of thv speaxer. This
latter objection was overruled by
thejsupreme court. That court de.
dared the counting of members
present aud not voting to make a'
quorum was constitutional.
A QUESTION OF PROCEDURE.
As the court baa so decided and
«nd the republicans can aud are
blocking all business of the house,
the speaker believes the democrat
ic majority is thoroughly justified
in adopting such a rule. It is a
mere question cf procedure. No
principal is involved Under such
procedure only can relief be af
forded to the people, and the
speaker, as well as the great mass
of democrats, believe that the par
ty owes it to the country to adopt
rules,provided they are constitu
tional, that will enable the bouse
to do business.
The chances are, that a quorum of
democrats will be present tomorrow.
The talk of fining them, has caused a
grand rush of absentees toward the
capitol. Even the ten that have gone
to Senator Vance's funeral, will not
be missed, for there are enough to
make a quorum witheat them iu the
city.
But a large number of democrats
seem ready to bolt the c .ucus action
and vote against the new rule. Their
only reason, is because it looks like
an endorsement of Reed's rules.
Speaker Crisp is determined that
there shall be no more long delay in
the house. No time wifi be lost in
adopting the new necessary. The
house will do business. If there be
any delay in the conclusion of this
congress it will be due to the senate
and not to the house,
