THE DANGEROUS RULE OF THE
SPEAK Err.

THE DANGEROUS RULE OF THE
SPEAK Err.
Speaker Reed has at considerable
length in the North American Review
replied to the attack made upon the
House rules by Mr.. Carlisle. AS a
matter OF course, Mr.. Reed defends
those rules as by himself promulgated
and construed; possibly, however, his
opinion of them would have been
modified, had some other man been
constituting them. But under their
working it has been very evident to
!. the, country at large, that so far as
the House OF Representatives is con-
cerned, Reed is the absolute master Of
the legislation for the Union. His
conduct in the chair has not only
called for the most bitter protest from
his political opponents, but has started
serious inquiry on the part of
his party friends as to his
true motives. For it must be borne
in mind that he has not had plain
sailing in the house even among the
members of his own party, and the
Republican senate are openly mimi
cal to his course. The question re-
ours is Mr.. Reeds grasp on states
manship and his reading of the future
so far in advance OF his confreres that
with an absolute assurance he is right
and heriosm that stops not even at
their censure he dares to follow his
convictions at whatever hazard to
himself and them? Or is not the
converse true-that blinded by the
glory of the power his prestige of posi-
tion gives him and rashly unmindful
of consequences, in mad rush after
future and greater hOnors, he hopes to
startle the nation with an i'm
pudent display OF fancied
greatness, dazzle the ignorant
and unsuspecting, dumbfound the
thoughtful and by an exhibition OF
Napoleonic bull dog determination
compel the granting of the honors his
soul is furnishing for? Reed has his
eye so intently fixed upon the presi-
Dental chair, that it is not lowered to
rest upon the stumbling blocks wait
ing to tumble him into opproLrium
and everlasting forgetfulness. His am
bition has over leaped all bounds.
Gould he but read with calm and
thoughtful mind Cordinal Woolsey's
warning to Cramwell what an awak-
ening would take place within him?
But what then of a nation and its in
terests while this puppet OF the hour
is daring to place himself in the way
Of its sunshineY Must G0O00,OO0 of
people remain quiescent while this
ambitious man over their disgrace
is trying to mount to power? What
would be their condition now were it
not that senate outraged by this
mans arbitrary assumption CT power,
and more influenced to clip his wings
than mend the legislation of the house,
are found solidly arrayed against him?
The speaker of the house is clothed
with more power than any other man
in the United States not excepting the
president, and the people OF the Union
should look to it, that the speakers
chair cannot be filled simply by the
creature of inordinate ambition.
Would not two safe guards be the di-
rect election Of the speaker by the
people and heightened term of the
president that ambition might have a
long stay in inactionP

If THE commission is so ruinous to
railroad interests, so anarchistic in its
effects, is it not rather strange the OPP
ponents Of the measure do not adduce
cumulative evidence to that effect from
the twenty-six States of the Union
now operating under a commission?
What a splendid chance they would
have with such proof at their back, to
utterly crush the amendment now
pending. But they are as silent as
clans about any such proofs and only
indulge in vain vaporings, the children
of their fears or their desires. The
commission amendment is sweeping
on to victory and its course cannot be
stayed.

What of the Judge Allen Industrial School
Fund?

To the Editor of the Statesman.
A considerable time ago Judge Allen
died IN this city leaving the largest
part of his estate to the city to found
an industrial school. Such school
would be particularly advantageous to
our city at the present time in the way
of instructing many of our young peo-
pie in working machinery and in the
proper understanding of many prac-
teal points about manufacturing and
developing the many resources OF our
section. Many Of your readers would
like to know just what has been done
towards carrying out the purpose Of
Mr.. Aliens will in this direction. Will
not some one who knows please rise
up and explain what is being done in
this matter? Yours, ETC.,

WILKES BARRE, Pa, Sept. I2.-The
South Wilkes Barre shaft OF the LehIgh
and Wilkes Barre coal company was the
scene of a violent explosion of gas at 2
O'Clock this afternoon. A gang
of men were at work in the mine
clearing up the work of the fire last
March and searching for the bodies of
the eight men who were killed in the ex-
plosion at the time.
All that could be learned at the South
Wilkes Barre shaft up to 6 O'Clock this
evening was that but one man, George
Ford, was killed IN the explosion.
Isaac Jones was badly in
jured. The gas was ignited BY
Ford who dropped his lamp from
the carriage on which he was descend
ing. The excitement was intense until
the rescuing party who went down were
hoisted to the top. They brought with
them six men, who were in the slope at
work with Jones, the man injured. Men
are still in the shaft searching for Jones'
body
