The contest over the rules of the House
was not waged on personal grounds.
Although some Of the implacable enemies
Of Mr.. Randall in his own party saw fit to
make it the occasion for display Of malice
toward him personally, and although he
seemed too much inclined to accept the is
sue In that shape, the struggle was begun
and carried on to victory for the right on
q far higher plane than that Of personal
hostility to any man or set of men. Per-
sonal and political friends of Mr.. Randall
voted against him. Representatives who
do not like Mr.. Randall personally or politi-
cally voted with him. 1t was n movement
Of the people, for the people, by hepeople,
through that legislative body which is
peculiarly their own, to break shaclSles
which had been found odous and injurious,
20 secure larger liberty in legislation, so
that q majority of their agents might be
able TO do their bidding. 1t was success
ful effort to break down artificial barriers
erected "to protect the people" against
their own chosen proxies. 1t was intended
TO take the popular branch of the national
legislature from the control of single
committee and place II where II belongs.
in the hands Of the majority.
We use the word majority in no partisan
sense. Comparatively few divisions in the
House are made on party lines. So long
as the Senate remains Republican and
the House Democratic, 1t may be fairly
assumed that but little legislation Of
a strictly partisan character will be at
tempted And while the dominant party
in the House is split into irreconcilable fac
tioDs on each and all Of the great issues Of
the day, we have an additional qua uarantee
that when votesar taken the line of di-
vision will very seldom coincide with the
line Of demarkation between Democratic
and Republican seats.
1t was not unnatural that the people
should desire the demolition of barriers that
enabled the few to defeat the many. If they
felt that the country needed protection
against the unrestricted rule Of bare ma
jority they knew that the fathers had pro-
vided such protection, in ample measure,
by making the smallest state the equal Of
the greatest in the Senate, and by lodging
the veto power in the hands Of the Execu-
tive. To have the very name of republican or
democratic government burlesqued by keep
ing the House under the rule of eight men
majority of single committee-was re-
proach which the average citizen was capa-
bic of understanding and resenting. The
vote of 226 to 20, by which the majority
took the scepter from the few and gave 1t
to the keeping of the many, was, therefore,
simply vlndcation of the principle that
is supposed to be the chief cornerstone OF
| our governmental edifce.

AmericGn-built torpedo boats have been
repeatedly tried In English waters in com
petition with the best English boats, and
in every instance been found to be faster,
lighter, more buoyant, and every way su-
perior In nautical qualities TO the English

built steam and sail yachts has never been
equaled by yachts of any other nation.
Our army and navy were at the close of
the war, twenty-one years ago, the largest
and most powerful in the world but 1t was
not our policy to keep them upon war
footing, The army was at once reduced
from one million to twenty-five thousand
men, and the navy from eight hundred and
thirty-siX vessels to about Que hundred.
The transports were sold into the coastwise
and river service, while the poorest iron
clads and cruisers were either broken up or
sold.
A small number of naval vessels Of the
best types are now needed, and will in due
time be added TO our navy without any as
sistancc whatever from English builders.

MANNING ON CUSTOMS SERVICE
The Secretary of the Treasury Talks
About the Tariff and Its Intricacies.

Secretary Manning in conversation yesterday,
respecting the proposed examination by the
SeDate into the working OF the New York GUS
tom house, said that he should welcome the
cooperation Of committee OF the Senate, if
one be created, to that end. He said, however,
that during nearly all of the present year an
active inquiry into the condition of the custom
houses had been going on under the initiation
and supervision of his immediate predecessor
and himself IL there has been defective ad.
ministratiOn since then which had escaped his
attention he would be glad to know of II. Any
other specific inquiries addressed to the de-
parment by either house would receive i'm
mediate and thorough attention.
Mr., Manning remarked that he had, in his
annual report TO Congress, described his own
ideal Of d collector of customs at any of the
great ports, and he had distinctly intimated
his own conviction that satisfactory exccu-
tion of the present tariff law would severely
test the best efforts Of static of the best officers
that the country could supply.
The point of attack now, he said, Is the ap-
praising department, and, for obvious reasons,
he should, he said firmly and earnestly uphold
the conscientious conduct of those officers
against all comers. The collector at New York,
he said, was necessarily and naturally assaied
by selfs interests, because in case of Disagree
ment between two re'appraisers. his decision is
final. The Secretary had no doubt that the
senate and the country would discriminate
between the existing tariff system, or rather
the existing tariff chaos, created by law, and
chaos.
The civil service law has Mr. Manning ad.
ded, practically taken awaS from the Treasury
Department the selection of such most import
nnt subordinatcs as examiners, inspectors,
weighers, gaugers, and measurers. The gen.
eIal appraisers, the appraisers and assistant ap-
pTaisers are nominated by the President and
confirmed by the Senate, Mr.. Manning said
that he expects, soon after the holidays, to send
10 Congress special report on one branch OF
the customs system, and the prolet of law.
which. If adopted, will work therein needed
reform.
The Secretary concluded by sayingithat II is
vital to the public welfare that, in custom
house matters, there be concert of action, good
understanding, and pleasant forms between the
Senate and the head of the Treasury Depart.
mcnt and added: II shall do my utmost to
promote this, and shall not unduly intrude my
PARTY affiliations or my party prcjndices, which,
| nevertheless hope and believe, are reasonably
| strong,

Nor is it necessary for Congress to appro-
pIiHtc any large amount to put iron ship
building plants into the navy yards. The
private shipyards are already fully pre-
pared to meet all the requirements of the
navy, and government work, to q greater
or less extent, should be given to them, in

Some Of our navy yards have ample facill-
