When the senate amended the Congel
silver bill. that had passed the house
eliminating the Objectionable features
which was almost the entire measure
and substituted therefore provisions that
conformed to the popular demand, and
passed it by = practically unanimous
vote. its revivifying effect upon the
country was electrical. Everybody fel,
encouraged at the prospect Of a speedy
let up of the general and heavy pressure
that has weighed down the commercial
and industrial interests these months
and years. Everybody hoped the house
would see its way clear to take up the
Plumb bill as soon as it was received and
pass it, and thus add to the encourage
ment the people felt at the then auspi-
cious outlook. But instead of this that
body Immediately commenced TO dicker
and daily and oscillate, and finally DASH
ed the buoyant hopes of the people by
practically killing the measure. and the
only one so far that has come so near en-
actment that has in it anything like gen.
eral relief
What is gong to be the result OF this
Cannot now be told 1t is evident that
the house does not intend to pass such a
financial measure as the country at large
demands. ANY other sort of measure
had better be left nnenacted for it will
certainly be repudia'ed by the people
the first opportunity. and that will come
with the first Tuesday in November.
AT this writing the situation is any
tLing but encouraging. but We cannot af
ford 10 give up the contest. There is too
much a, stake. Iuvo:vcd in the issue is
the welfare and prosperity of the coun
try. the vital interests of sixty millions of
people as against simple reduction of
the rate OF interest and discount for the

made on the floor of the house Tuesday.

from such source cannot but be taken
as an insult to the people. This. how

The arbitrary course of Mr.. Beed as
Speaker of the House is disorganizing
his party. For time, at least, the pow.
er of the republican caucus is broken.
On plain issue with the speaker, back.
ed by Mckinley and Butterworth. the
democrats have had notable triumph,
and the effect will undoubtedly be felt
till the close Of the session.
The contest between the Speaker and
the House continued for two days. The
first day closed with the adoption Of NJ.
Mills resolution, in effect rebufing Mr..
Reed for the usurpation of power. Then
Mr.. Mckinley moved an adjournment.
trusting to party influences to drive the
deserters back irto the ranks.
Friday the conflict was renewed, on
Mr.. Mills motion to approve the correct
ed journal, and again the democrats tri-
umphed, the vote being 13a to 130. in
favor of adopting the motion of Mills.
1t is rarely speaker is so openly and
and boldly rebuked. The force and ef
feet of those votes were well understood.
Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Butterworth al.
pealed to their followers to vote against
the resolution, declaring them to be re
buke to the speaker. MIR. Reed himself
made this plain, saying that the question
was as to the ruling of the speaker, and
claimed that it was justified by innumer-
able precedents.
In the face of these arguments and ap-
peals, the motion supported by the dem.
ocrats prevailed, and the action Of the
speaker was repudiated by the House.
A vote such as this leads in England to
the dissolution of Parliament. In Amer.
ica, it only indicates that to the list Of
republican speakers whose course has
been openly condemned by the people
the name of Reed is added to the names
of Colfax, of Blame. and Keifer.-Cour

Mr.. KeIIey's Road to Fame.

Are nomination to Congress is an Oc
casion of which Harrison Kelley doubt.
less flatters himself he has reason to be
proud. Mr.. Kelley may have wabbled 8
little in the past, as he was unused to the
position and perhaps did not fully under
! stand the athletics of aTtful lodging,
which comes with experience and prac-
iice. His constituents in their platform
adopted al Emporia have laid down the
law SO clearly that in following its in
struciions he will have an easy and pleas
ant time OF it.
OF course the convention has renewed
lis allegiance TO The party and the plat
form of 1888. \ republican convention
could not reasonably be expected to do
anything else But If Mr. Kelley desires
to be faceiious lie will ask the committee
of notification hCw it reconciles the
pledge of reduction Of the tariff to the
Mckinley bill, which increases the du-
ties on imports by 80 millions of dollars.
There is room for fine bust of humOr
here if Mr.. Kelley Is in the mood. And
when he reads the clause of the Emporia
platform whicn thanks the administra-
tion and Mr.. Blaine for the policy of
reciprocity of trade and intercourse with
Mexico" perhaps he will inquire if
there is anything in the tariff bill to war
rant Mr.. Blaine's satisfaction or their
own Endorsement. And as he casually
glances al the line, i've are unqualified.
lv in favor of the free coinage of silver
he may he inclined to ask his Kansas
friends if they have been keeping up
with the journal of the house of repre-
sentatives. And in the same breath he
may inquire what is meant by las early
date rs possible" with reference to the
passage of a service pension bill, and if
he will be justified in opposing the poll
cy of his party on SO many important
questions. These matters being satisfac-
torily disposed of, Mr.. Kelley will readi-
ly understand the renewal of allegiance
to the party and the platform of 1888.
Altogether Mr. Kelley is started off on
his second trip with a clear idea of what
is expected of him. To-day he will read
the platform, saw wood and say nothing.

numerously signed, would have any

been implicated, besought. inpOrtuned,
urged, threatened and what not these
weeks and months: if they will not hear
these it is useless to expect them to heed
any request or demand now, from whom
soever made. But there is way of re.
lief, if not immediate certainly not very
long deferred, and the people of the
country, firing of promises observed only
in the breach, are going o avail them
selves oft. Of course there Is no peace
able way of compelling those now acting
in the capacity of representatives to do
the bidding of those who sent them, but
if they will not the people will surely try
another set. and they will keep it up un-
til faithful ones are found.
These remarks are prompted by the
skullduggery practiced over the silver
bill but they apply with equal force to
the tariff bill and some other measures of
pressing importance to the people.
