of a career which cast off the sweet restraints

Speaker Ranks.

The manner in which Mr.. Banks has dis
charged his duties as Speaker of the House, is
itself victory. The Washington Correspon-
dept Of the Journal Of Commerce does him
justice when he says: 1880 1910 -
'sMr Banks has bad no majority to sustain
him in. the House, but,yet, though he has en-
countered a greater namber of difficult ,ques-
tons in his administration Of the duties of the
Chair than any one Of his predecessors, moi
one of his decisions have been overruled, or
even seriously questioned by any lalgemlnori-
ty ofthe House ~ This is the best proof of the
confidence reposed by the House in his impair.
tiality and ability as Speaker. II is also ad-
nitted that in the dispatch of business he has
hardly ever had an equal in the Chair, and per-

pected to find some fault with him on this
