1t is not fOregOne conclusion that the temperance
law will pass at this session. The bill must be fought
through both houses and more fatal deluson coul

enacted without struggle. Can, then, the friends
of temperance in the Assembly consent for any con-

WHO SHALL BE SPEAKER
We ask the most careful attenti to the article
copy from the Albany State Register, under che
above heading. 1t involves great subject, and
evolves thu only line of duty for the friends OF tenn
perance in she Assembly It's cesr, comprehensive,
and convincing. The Register is entitled to many
thanks fer its many able articles in favor Of tempe.
rance Only few such leaoiDg public journals as
hs in the great centres of influence would soon SO
enie the path of politicians that the Maine law
would surely be enacted, and surely sustained. The
Register says:-
There is more involved in the answer to this ques-
ton than most people are aware OF. The troubles,
the disorders and contentious which characterized
the last session and made it memorable epoch in
the history Of legislation are pregnant warnings in
favor of careful selection Of theOccupant of the
Speakers chair. There are other qualifications, be-
sides experience and urbanity of department. that
should be looked to in making the selection. The
power and influence of Speaker over legislation is
wellnigh potential. In the formation OF the com.
mites alone he has power beyond that of ytwenty
otner members OF tne House over any ana l, an
measures tnat may come before III ana DeJond thls
in his decisions, by his efforts in favor Of against
bills that may be up for legislative action he ex
ercise controlling influence.
