Republican audac1ty can scarcel

when one OF the door keepers of In
House, claiming to be acting unde
Instructions from the Speaker. a,
tempted to use force 10 preven
Representative Enlos Leaving III,
House for few minutes. Mr.. Enloe
US any other American citizen would
have done, insisted upon his right tt

Mr.. Einoe brought the mater befor,
the House as a question Of personal
pr,vI 4, and very naturally wanted
to know iftho Speaker had issu ed
such instructions, and il so by what
authority.
The Speaker denied having issued
such Instructions; but vt the same
time stated it as bis opinion that the
door-kecper bad done right. Saint
Joseph Cannon, who is second only
to Dir. Reed in audaclty, defended
the action ofthe insoent door-keep.
er.e Mr.. Enloe protested that if off,
GERS Of the House were to be gwen
the authority to keep members in
the House against their wills, they
would some day keep them out Of
the House by the same authority.
Tho fhatter was finally referred 10
the sco mmittce on judiciary, and
majority OF that COMMITTEES bring
republicans but little is to be@ex
pected In the shape ofjustics.
Trnly one might ask. under what
form OF Government do We live?
