YES, AND HOW IS 1T!

The New York Tribune of yesterday
says: "His Che President's) previous
" recommendations were wisely disre-
garded, the leaders of the party passing
"them over with quiet smile We shall
not attempt to controvert this assertion be-
cause, with few exceptions, it is entirely
true. The leaders of the party in Congress
have disregarded nearly every one of the
Presidents suggestions and recommends
tons in his annual and special messages.
They ignored his views upon the currency
and passed bill directly opposite, which
he was compelled to veto. They have paid
no attention whatever to his opinion upon
civil service reform, upon the Cuban ques-
ton, cheap transportation and a score of
other matters more or less important.
What is the result? The exceeding wise
gentlemen and able statesmen in the two
branches of Congress who undertook to
manage the machine in their own way,
who were quietly smiling" year ago, are
not quite so happy to-day. The fact is the
majority Of them are out of employment
and are likely to be out Of it for the balance
Of their natural lives.

TIVE assistant organ of the Democracy in

that it is not in favor of the repeal of the
constitutional amendments, because it would
be impossible to secure the assent of the

impossible. But it is in favor of attempting
''to wipe off the statute book laws UNJUST

UAREER.

washington Cor. Pittsburg Leader,
When q politician first takes the Speakers
chair he has 70 deal with q very unruly body.
Then there is such voluminous mass Of rules, TO
which some tricky members are constantly tax
ing technical exceptions. To hesitate, under any
circumstances, in giving a correct construction
Of rule, is to lose the Chairs hold upon the
House.
Ofcourse no man can be familiar with all the
technicalities Of the rules Of the House without
long years OF patient study. Now, the Speaker
has an able staff Of assistants and secretaries,
many Of whom have been in the service Of the
House ever since they were children, have i'm
bibed the rules through long associations until
they have become mere instinct with them.
These men are the greatest possible aids to a new
Speaker, and even afterWard are otter implicitly
relied upon in parliamentary corner.
One Of the most celebrated Of the Speaker
aids was Thad. Morris. He died during Schuy-
really power behind the throne. He mad been
q messenger in the House when q small boy and
had grown up In It's service until he occupied the
position Of Speakers page, which means con-
hdential secretary He died at q very early age
under thirty. He was one OF the most Semark-
able men. ....
He was Of quick, nervous temperament, large
brain, accurate memory, and uneTring Judgment
He was with Banks in his remarkable career as
Speaker, and stood by him, day after day, quietly
whispering behind him the means TO unraTel
knOttY points Of debate. One Of the greatest
reasons Of Banks success as Speaker. be never
having q single decision overruled, was on ac-
count Of his implicit reliance upon his youthful
teacher, Thad. Morris.
Schuyler COlfax would have made an utter
failure at first had Il not been for Thad. Morris.
Under his clear training COltax became flashed
