Speaker Reed is a man with back
bone. whatever else may be said of him.
Only person of heroic nerve would dare
TO set aside the precedents of 100 years
and make a new ruling in opposition
thereto. This is what Mr.. Reed did when
he decided that Congressman should be
considered present, for the sake OF a
quorum, though they were not voting.
This is a startling departure from Gus
tom. but it is not public calamity.
Heretofore legislation has been blocked
by the refusal of one party on the other
to complete quorum. Enough mem
bers being present to permit legal legis-
latiye action, for party reasons certain
members have refrained from voting
and been counted not present. Thus
was the public's time wasted and the
public's money paid out uselessly. If
Speaker Reeds ruling sticks, this clog
ging resource of the politician will be
abandoned, and the public will be a
good deal better of.

Reeds Suicidal Violence.
PHILADELPHIA Times.l


The Democrats Of the popular branch
Of Congress should be much more COM
placent than they have been hitherto
under the suicidal violence Of Speaker
Reed. There is not a man of general
intelligence in. either party who is a
dispassionate observer of the struggle
in the House who does not know that
Speaker Reed 3 revolutionary arrogance
must speedily destroy his party major
ity in the body, and end in the inevita-
BILE defeat of his party when 1t next APP
peas to the country. Unless the Demo
Gratis are thrown into paroxysmal ac-
ton by Speaker Reeds destruction Of
his own party. they have little else to
make them lose their tempers.
When Speaker Reed refused recogni-
ton to a member Of the body when he
rose to a question Of the highest privi-
lege-that of correcting the Journal as
to his own public action be was guilty
of the most insolent abuse of the priv
leges Of the Chair ever witnessed IN any
reputable deliberative body, and it is
amazing that there was not one Repub-
lican leader on the floor possessing the
honesty and courage to halt the Speak
er IN the interests OF public decency.

Unless those Republicans in the House
who believe themselves to have a politi-
cal future interfere and compel their
Speaker to condescend to lawful and
regular methods heavy responsibility
will rest upon them. What Is going on
in Washington is simply the substitu-
ton by the Republican Speaker of mob
rule fos the rule of law and order in
the National Legislature.
That is a very grave matter. What
is doing now. if it is carried through
to the end. amounts to the permanent
abTogation of law and of orderly pro-
ceedings in the House OF Representa-
tives. For what the Republican ma
iority does now, that Democratic ma
jority Will hereafter do. There is no
help for that.

BALTIMORE ouhsJ
The struggle which has been IN pro-
eress in the House Of Representatives
for several days past is in many aspects
one of the most remarkable that has
ever occurred in Congress since the
foundation of the government. Ihere
have been previous sessions which have
witnessed debates as fierce. excitement
as high and disorder as wild as
have prevailed in that body this
week. but there has rarely, If ever,
been an occasion in congressional
annals which more strongly JUS
titled them. The country cannot
contemplate this conflict and the causes
which have precipitated it without IL
digpation as well as apprehension, FOR
the position which Speaker Reed and
his Republican colleagues have as
sumed in this Congress is without
parallel in the past. and is big with the
grave.t dangers for the future. In the
whole century of our national exis-
tence the House of Representatives has
never before had Speaker who so con
tenptuously ignored the rights OF the
minority. or who so coOlly trampled on
all parliamentary precedents and con
stitutional privileges.

Mr.. Speaker Reed is making for him
self n reputation that will stick to him
and that will follow him into that OBJ
scurity which awaits men who are
guilty Of such disreputable partisanship.
For the moment his fellows on the moor
of Congress will applaud while they
despise him. But no man ever offended
the morals and decency of the country
without suffering for it. He has pur.
chased a crop Of infamy which Will
faint his private as well as his public
life. for men cannot be dishonest IN
politics and above suspicion in business,
The INSCRIPTIONS partisan is justly re-
garded as man who will take advan-
taee of his fellows in any other walk IN
life to serve a purpose or gain an end.

The Result in This District

trict: comment reserved.

didate did his whole duty manfully
ably and with admirable skill and
energy: that the true Republicans OF
this District rallied to the Republi-
can standard with surprising una>
minity an enthusias n.
AS for this journal its every issue
since the Republican nomination has
been wide awake and unceasing in
urging Republicans to do their duty
and adocating Austin's election: our
duty as we conceive it. This we
have done without reward or the hope
of reward, further than an approx.

We take it that to the true Re-

more valued than at this hour OF

Now that it is beyond question that

ton is being INDUCED in with regard tc
the speakership. Mr.. Springer Of
Illinois, and Mr.. Cri51 of Georgia, are
among the most prominent Of those

honor. Mr.. Mills of Texas, is credited
with no ambition for the Office, and has
frequently stated that he would prefer
to be known merely as TIE leader OF the
house and chairman Of the committee
on ways and means Mr.. Bynum OF
Indiana, Mr.. MILAN of Tennessee, and
Mr.. Cultivate of Ohio, have also been
named for the office. Mr.. Wilson OF
West Virginia, regarded on all sides as
one of the brainiest men in the house,
would undoubtedly make an admirable
speaker
The most interesting piece of gossip
which was much discussed Wednesday
points to Dan Lockwood, the newly
chosen member from Buffalo, n. Y, as
the next speaker. 1t is urged in behalf
Of this new candidate-if such he may be
called when the idea has perhaps not yet
occurred even to himself 1t will not
be advisable for the Democrats in the
next house to choose an ex-conferate for
their speaker. Besides, the south, in
the person Of Mr.. Carlisle has had the
Office for the last three congresses, and it
it time that some other section should
have the honor. That section, it is
urged. should be the north, and Of all
the states in the north, New York is the
one which it is the most desirable to
save in 1892. To make any man speaker
Of the house would contribute largely to
the end.
