supporters of favorable result that they

THE RULES OF THE HOUSE
Hartford Courantl
In contribution to the current number of
the North American Review, the Hon. Tbos.
B. Reed Of Maine tells how the transaction
of public business in the House of Repre-
sentatives at Washington has been clogged
and sometimes blocked in recent wears by
the obstructive tactics of factious minority
entrenched behind the rules. Ar attempt
abate this evil, and Mr. Reed calls upon the
American people with one voice to help ana
support any honest effort to do business and
to shorten congressional sessions" The
people can have just the sort of Congress
and just the sort of legislation they want, if
only they make their desires known with
the necessary emphasis. There is no dan
ger of the new rules being oppressive and
tyrranns. The Republican majority in the
new House is too slender, for one thing, to
permit any success full attempt to ride rough
shod over the rights of the minority,-even
II the disposition to do so existed. Nor
does Mr. Reed anticipate Democratic filibus-
tering against the proposed changes. ITO
suppose" he says, that the opposition will
refuse to do their legislative duty unless
they can dictate the rules is the widest
dream Of parliamentary instruction that

to the Office, which commands a salary of
$500 or $500 year, when some of the white
citizens held an indignation meeting and an

postage stamps to them. Gomez filed his
bond, however, after some delay, and re-

The Grand Jury, which has been investi-
eating the Flack case did its work most thor
oughly. Not only did it indict the principal
actors, including Flack, but it very severely
commented on the performance of Judge
Bookstaver, who granted the divorce. saying
very plainly that he was guilty of careless
ness scarcely less than criminal, or Of cor
ruption. 1t seems to BIZ an almost inevitable
inference from what the jury say that had
he not been judge, and therefore not amen
able to the grand jury, an indictment would
have been found against him. But the jury
very plainly indicates that in its opinion it
is the duty Of the legislature to investigate
his performance, with view to his removal
from the bench If he is found guilty. New
York justice is apt to be so mealy mouthed
that it is very refreshing to read this strong,
clear, courageous presentment against men
OF great influence. 1t shows that after all
justice is not for the poor alone in the me-
trnpolis.

Of the officers named was Commander

The Secretary of the Navy, however, de-
