The herald and mail. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 1873-188?, 1876-04-21
The MaIlet and the Speaker.

A Washington letter to the Boston
Herald says: The little mallet with
which the presiding officer in the house
punctuates its proceedings is fatal in
strument in the hands of Cox. 1t is
curious to note the power of weakness
which comes out in the handling of the
gavel. To use it promptly, at the right
time and sparingly, is the secret of sue
cess in the chair. The slightest intem-
perance with the gavel vitiates quickly
the power of any presiding officer. Mr..
Kerr understands this, and never an
noys the house by frantic hammering.
Mr.. Cox's way is to keep up petty
pounding, which would give blind per-
son in the gallery the impression that
somebody was putting down carpets be-
low. Kerr's gentle and deliberate, but
emphatic and forcible manner, would al
most enable him to dispense with the
gavel in the ordinary proceedings of the
house. When there is disorder, Kerr
does not Jump up and pound and blus-
teringly add to the confusion, but he
sits quietly in the chair, tells the house,
in pleasant lone of remonstrance, that
there is SO much confusion in the hall
that it is impossible to go on with the
business of the house." and remains ST.
lent until members have settled into
their seats and the confusion is dimin-
ished, so that any members voice can be
heard across the hall. A prominent
member of the house insinuated to me,
the other day ,hhat Mr.. Kerr was better
speaker even than Blaine; that Mr..
Blaine excited the house by his rapid
manner and his energy of utterance, fre-
quently arousing antagonisms. and add
ing heat to the debate. The house feared
MI. Blaine; it respects Mr.. Kerr, and
his speakership is thus far more success
full than many of his own friends thought
it could be.

And her ewes like the skies of May,
And her steps like the rose.leaves strown
