able the people at distance to see the great
show and its earlier procession and return
homo afterward. This agent has under his
employ scores Of men who go hundreds of
miles along the lines and bill the stations.
There are large parties making up to come

such another entertainment as no man ever
saw before. We do not blame our community
for catching the fever.

Sneaker of the House.

The N. Y Evening Post says "Ihe
Speaker Of the House of Representatives
is the most powerful man in the Govern
ment next to the President himself" ana
gives the following reasons for the re-
mark:
"While it is the Presidents constitu-
tional duty to execute the laws, ana ne
is entrusted with certain limited powers
to that end, the Speaker exercises. or at
least can exercise, upon the making OF
the laws not only more influence thah
the President but sometimes even more
than the majority of the House over
which he presides. The principal le9ls-
lative work of she House Of Representa-
tives is done in the committees. There
bills are discussed, amended and prepar-
ed in detail The House itself is more a
voting than delberating body. DEBATE
is limited and generally exercises scarce
ly any influence upon the votes OF MEM
bers, except when SO directed rs to make
an impression upon public opinion cal
culated to frighten time-serving politl-
clans in Congress. To change legisla-
tive measure in the House against the
wish of the committee having it in charge
is very difficult unless the attempt be
aided by the Speaker. 1t is, in the hrSt
place, the privilege of the Speaker to ap-
point the committees which prepare leg
islation. Then it is the Speaker who
recognizes members who CLAIM the
floor. 1t is within his power TO give the
preference to this one or that one as he
may prefer the proposition to be brought
forward by this one or that one. lie
construes in the first instance and en-
forces the complicated rules of the House
which are a profound mystery to most
members, and he may construe and en-
force them or omit to enforce them in
favor of or against motions or amend
ments as he may favor or oppose them,
and the ruling of the Speaker is but rare
ly reversed bv a vote of the House. The
action or pretended action Of the House
of Representatives is not seldom so rapid
and confused that scarcely anybody but
the presiding officer knows what is go
ing on, and he may sometimes put mo-
tions to vote, and declare them car
ried or defeated without attracting the
attention of anybody except those i'm
mediately interested. 1t is therefore as
sumed by many that when the Speaker is
in navor of measure his support is al
most as good as a majority, and that
when the Speaker earnestly opposes a

bill it's friends will have to be very keen
and active to save its chances. 1t is
needless to point out how dangerously
such power may be abused when en-
trusted to an unscrupulous man."
