RULES OF THE HOUSE.

Henry II. Smith has spent his entire
manhood in the Clerks office of the House
of Representatives, and is the admitted
Parliamentary authority of the House
He has contributed paper to the Chicago
Current on the subject of the reformation
of the rules of the House. 1t deserves to
take place as a State paper. Nothing more
clear or convincing has ever been written
on the subject. It is too long to be epito-
mized here, but the recommendations as
condensed by the Current are as follows:
l. Unload the Appropriations Committee.
?. Give daily consideration to the House
calendar.
3. Cali the committees in their order for bust
ness on either the union or House calendar as
signing TO each committee one day.
/. Preserve the true power of each committee
By accurate reference of bills
.. Earlier references.
o. Appoint permanent Chairmen of the two
Committees of the Whole.
:. Prohibit the " farming" OF the time of g
member in speaking.
S. Act Oh all Senate bills favorably reported
by House committee.
9. Call sessions on the 4th of March and sec.
ond Monday of November.
10. Perfect u set of Joint rules
Mr.. Smith was the clerk of the commit.
tee that formulated the present rules. That
committee literally manacled the House
and gave the key to the Committee on
Appropriations. Practically the House
can do no business without the consent Of
that committee. Indeed the Chairman Of
that committee is Congressional dictator
The rule abolishing the morning hour u
increased his imperial powers Formerly
the Committee on Ways and Means was
the leading business authority of the
House. That was bad enough, but the
change made by Messrs. Randall, Alex
Stephens Blackburn, Garfield and Frye
who originated the present rules, was the
refinement of error. Mr.. Smith tells us
that the Forty-sixth Congress only got tc
business on the union calendar once, and
the House calendar twice; the Forty
seventh Congress twice on each calendar
and the Forty-eighth twice on the union
and three times on the House calendar, SC
that in six years time the House slipped
out of the grip of the committee only a
dozen times. The Current is right when il
says that the growth of the one-man and
committee power in the representative
House Of this free government has gone OF
long enough. The House is probably con
WINGED Of this, since it has entered upon 8
reformation of the rules with an apparent
disposition to correct them.

What q oIa5her Found Out.


The masher is constantly getting himself
and other people into trouble. In South
srn hotel yesterday mssher admired =
beautiful woman at the dinner tsble, way
laid her in the hallway and embraced her.
The woman was married appealed to her
husband and the mssher was thrashed,
fined $25 and had 20 fee the town; mashed
again and well nigh treated to feathers and
tar.
A stamp clerk in the Pittsburg postofice
admired lady who occasionally came to
his window for stamps Finally with the
shipper and confidence Of 8 regular stamp
clerk masher, be asked the lady to CORE
spond with him and to address him as
James Mcmillan. The lady did correspond
with Mcmillan and also put Postothcs In
apeetor Spese on the track of her letter.
TskipR advantage Of his position Mcmillan
40, tracted the letter from the general deliv-
ery box, as detected and dismissed front Q
service with dishonor and chsgrin enough to
last him for q week.
Mcmillan was married of course. But,
married or unmarried, the man should learn
that while il is an excellent thing to be at
feetionste, it is not best to be suddenly
demonstrstiye with other mems wives or to
become petty thief in order 10 enjoy mo-
msntsry qualification OF the MASKING pro-
ueusity. Then 3 masher ought to be s1re
that he has mashed somebody before be a.
tempts embraces or correspondence with
strange women. Sometimes they are per
feet angels and sometimes they are only
.hrsWd women with tings of malice in the
hIoni. The masher should be more careful,
AZ IsaSS IL he cannot be Q man.
