The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1890-02-06

The republicans are extremely anxious
to conceal the real condition of the agri-
cultural classes of this country. The
policy of the republican party has been
TO build up manufacturing at the expense
OF the farmers, and the latter have been
tickled with the fiction of home market
until they have become the servile tools
of the protected classes. A step made
by the democrats to gather statistics
showing the number of mortgages on
form property has met the determined op-
position of the republicans. The revela.
ton would have no effect on the farmers
They will hug the shadowy home market
and continue to vote for protection while
N oTtgaging their farms to those whom
protection benefits. THERE'S 10 hope fol-
the farmer until he loses his property
Then he can realize fully what the home
market has done for him.
On this question Senator Spooner and
Sawyer stated there were no farms mort.
gagged in their section. The Milwaukee
Journal with characteristic ENTERPRISE
gathered statistics on the subject and
presented them in its issue OF last Satur-
day. The publication was a complete
and incontestable REPUTATION of the state
ments of the senators. But that will
make no difference with the farmer. He
viii feel about election times that he is
really prosperous and that his property
is due to protection and be will vote &C

To FULLY understand the difficulties
in the house and the action of Speaker
Reed. the circumstances which made him
act as he has must be understood. There
are several contested election cases for
the house to decide The democratic
contestants in most cases have certltl-
Gates Of election and the purpose is to
Dust these and seat their republican COM
petitors The house has always hereto
fore proceeded, like all legislative as
semblies, under a code of rules. These
rules limit the powers of presiding Off
Ger, as without them he is practically
supreme A committee was appointed
at the beginning of the session to pre-
pare a code of rules. Ordinarily this is a
very easy task and consists mainly in
adopting the rules of the preceding body.
At times some slight notifications are
made. Any person who has been men,
Der of county board or of a city council
knows how important code of rules is
and how it facilitates business. Under
code Of rules democratic members could
not be ousted from their seats summarlly.
This the republicans wanted to do and
for this reason the committee on rules
has not yet reported though the adop-
ton o. rules for the guidance of any legis-
lative body is ordinarily one of its first
acts. Thus the committee on rules be-
gan the tactics of delay so as to furnish
Speaker Reed an opportunity to do ex-
actly what he has done. When the demo-
Gratis are ousted the committee on rules
will report and then business can pro-
ceed as there will be safe republican
| majority.
When Reed is commended for acting
arbitrarily the impression is sought to
be given that he did so to facilitate the
progress of business. But this is an
error. He acted as he did to unseat dem
ocrats and put republicans in their places.
The committee appointed to prepare
rules are responsible for the delay and
| they had caucus instruction not to re-
| port so that Reed could usurp power.
| He prostituted his position at the dicta-
ton OF his party caucus and has justly
| earned the execration of all fair minded
| people.
The republican members of the COM
| mittee on rules are the real obstruction
lists. Two months have passed and they
have made no report. Without rules the
house is just, as Carlisle describes it, the
same as political convention, all the
power being in the hands of the presid-
ing officer. 1t is most humiliating thing
to have the United States Congress thus
sink its dignity that the republican ma
jority might thereby be increased, and it
is simply scandalous that the arch-con-
spirator should be glorifed for acting in
famously. Such proceedings are not apt
to increase respect for oui form of gov
erument.

The Chicago Inter Ocean in speaking
of the Bennett law states the results
achieved in Chicago through the operation
of law quite similar in its provisions.
The law is enforced with great difficulty
and persuasion rather than compulsion
is used. But through the law 1892 chill
dren out of 1902 of school going age who
did not attend school at all, have been
induced to attend school and two fairly
large school buildings have been filled
with children who were receiving no IN
struction. In 400 cases the parents were
Indifferent whether the children attended
school or not; in S37 cases the children
were physically unable to attend; in S7S
cases the labor of the children was neces-
sary TO the support of the families, and
in All cases the parents were too poor to
clothe the children properly. Charitable
societies have interested themselves with
the last named and the children are clad
and educated.
Isn't this a splendid record for a law
which is being abused, misconstrued and
denounced as inimical to foreigners and
morality? Nearly 1900 children of one
city who were being reared in ignorance
are enjoying the advantages of schools
1t would seem folly for the churches to
fight such work as this.

THE actions of speaker Reed would not
have such bad appearance had they not
been wholly in the line of the republican
programme to seat the republican claim
ants for contested seats before the adop-
ton Of the rules for the guidance of the
house which have not yet been reported.
The strongest argument against Reed
was his own speech some years ago. Then
he argued that measure of which the
minority disapproved so strongly as to
adopt obstruction tactics should be an
proved by majority of ali the members
elected. In the present instance the re-
publican majority began the dilatory
proceedings. The committee on rules
having majority of republican members
refused to report. The contested cleo
ton cases could be settled under these
rules and the action of congress would
then be precedent for the future. But
the republicans did not choose to act
under rules which would he binding and
chose instead to rely upon the arbitrary
ruling of speaker who could be relied
upon to disregard precedent and his own
expressed opinions.
The worst feature of the whole affair
is the support Reed is receiving from the
republicans of the country. His pur-
pose was to secure seats for republicans
who did not hold certificates of election
and who come from democratic states.
The republicans did not want the con-
tests decided on their merits and Reed
was relied upon to carry the matter
through. This he has done and now it
is probable the committee on rules Will
report. The people will blindly sustain
this partisan act and Reed will be the
party god because of his willingness to
act in accordance with the worst elements
of his party.

REED thiuks his exhibition of extreme
partisanship while in the chair entities
him to the presidency. sThere is no doubt
that his action strongly commends him
to a large section of his party. But is it
not sad commentary upon our politics
that the source Of greatest strength to a
politician is the prostitution of the Office
he holds to party ends. Reeds action
was solely for the purpose of enabling
the republican majority to seat the re-
publican contestants by the force of num-
bers without regard to justice. 1t simp-
ly showed that he placed party above all
considerations of justice or fairness. But
il has made him a hero when it should
blast him politically.
Years ago James G.. Blaine felt the
public pulse and knew he could best pro-
mote his political interests by an exhibit
ton of fierce partisanship. He proceeded
to shake up the southern brigadiers and
his name at once became a household
word. Later, when he no longer sought
the presidency with sharpened appetite,
the statesman crowded out the politician
and then Blalne's sun set. Now it is Reed
who is the favorite because he manifests
a willingness to sacrifice principle to ex-
IRENE partisanship.

The Sentinel says that the ruling OF
Speaker Reed not only accords with the
facts and with common sense, but is in
clear accord with the constitution" Then
Congressman Reed must have been sadly
ont of line with common sense and the
constitution when some time ago he
spoke against the very thing he is now
doing. Blaine must also have been out
of plumb which is'a queer condition for a
republican to be in according to republi-
can doctrine. Seating Smith by sheer
force of numbers without giving heed to
the merits of the case is in accord with
common sense too, no doubt. Common
sense and the constitution have grown
to be queer articles under republican
manipulation.

TMIE has got himself into deuce Of
a boat by announcing his intention of
being again candidate He has killed
himself politically and is evidently aware
CT what he has done. Harshaw, Cheek
and Thayer are outspoken that they are
not again candidates though the others
are vet to hear from. Rumor has it
that they have combined to secure a re-
nomination, but what Rumor says on this
matter is to be taken with considerable
allowance. When one goes out it is prob
able all will with the exception of Gov.
Hoard who has had only one term.

THE Inter Ocean advises now that
Smith Of West Virginia is seated, that
the committee on rules at once report.
Why should the committee not report be-
fore tie viliainy OF seating Smith was
consummated? The republican party
has ii great deal to answer for. It faint
ed the life blood of the nation when it
seated Hayes in 1877. 1t corrupted the
national Judiciary which up to that time
never bent its neck TO the yoke of ex-
IRENE partisanship. The constitution is
now mere nnllty when the exigencies
OF party demand that it should be SO.
The republican party has blasted popu-
llT government.

IT Is barely possible that some of the
republican c. 5. Senators whose titles are
not clear might be indisposed to raise any
question as to the election of a colleague
who presents himself with credentials.
If this does not save Brice he may save
himself the trouble of a journey to Wash
ington. The republicans are in the humor
to count him out with or without reason.
They clearly perceive the majority of the
people are opposed to,them and they must
rely on villainy to retain their hold.
There is nothing they will not do to hold
their majority

WHAT is to become of the farmers home
market if all trade restrictions with Cana
Ia be removed? Republican statesmen
seem inclined to favor a commercial treaty
with Canada but forget that In 1888 the
farmer was warned against the demo
cratic party which would throw open the
home market to the wheat growers OF
Manitoba. What is to become of the
farmer If this treaty becomes an estab.
lshed fact?

The Mayor offered the following:
WHEREAS, the piers of the harbor of
Manitowoc have been built out to the re-
quired length insuring a sufficient depth
of water ION clay bottOm) for lake craft
of the deepest draught to enter in any
weather, and
WHEREAS, the harbor is one of the
most accessible on the lakes, but OWNS
to It's running west nearly on line with
the piers for distance of half mile or
more, the heavy swells from the lake,
especially from the northeast, run up
this entire distance creating such COM
motion that vessels sometimes tear away
from their moorings, and
WHEREAS, the harbor traffic is all car
ried on within the specified space and is
even moving lakeward and is fast in
| creasing, the new route via Ludington
being an important addition, and
WHEREAS, the city has expended large
sums for dredging in the past and will
| do so in the future. and
WHEREAS. the docks all along the line
are being constantly damaged by the
action of the waves, and when the neces-
sary depth of water has been obtained
by dredging the entire width of the river
up to the dock lines, the total destruc-
| ton of the docks is only question of
| time. and the expense of rebuilding these
| docks which has proved so costly already
would be an vulnerable burden to many
/ of their owners, involving as it would a
much greater outlay than the original
cost OF construction. Therefore be it
! Res0lUed. to make this harbor available
| as it should be, and nearly perfect, it is
| imperative that some outer breakwater
be built to protect the shipping in the
| harbor and the inner harbor itself. For
| that purpose we respectfully beg con-
gress to appropriate such an amount as
may be recommended by Major G. E. L.
