The Dictatorship at Washington.

The high-handed position assumed by
Speaker Reed in the House of Representa-
tives recalls the scenes in Congress during
the war, when the Republican party disre-
garded law and precedent and even trampled
upon the constitution, at the demand of party
exigency. The Republican majority in the
House being too small to enable it to carry
through obnoxious party measures without
difficulty, scheme was concocted by which
that majority could be increased by the ad
mission of every Republican member, wheth-
er elected or not, who contested the seat of
Democrat.
It has been usual, at the beginning of
session, to adopt rules of procedure, so that
the business of the House could be carried
on systematically. Congress has been in
session for two months and the committee on
rules, under control of the Republicans. will
not report. Therefore Speaker Reed as
sumes to be law unto himself A quorum is
only ascertained by a sufficient number of
members answering to their names when
called. Speaker Reed sets this parliamentary
EulC oSluC, ICluSCS W CutCI eniu mUtlUus uduc
by Democratic members, declares measures
carried when majority of the members have
not voted, refuses to allow any correction of
the journal when manifestly wrong, will not
permit any appeal from his decisions to the
House, and acts altogether in the most un-
just and despotic manner.
As ex-Speaker Carlisle says, the House
has been for two months in the same condi-
ton as a political convention, in which the
chairman and his partisans absolutely con-
troll all the proceedings. No measure can
get before the House for consideration unless
the speaker chooses to allow it to be present
ed, and members have no means Of know
ing in advance what they are to be called
upon to discuss or decide.
By his arbitrary rulings, sustained In some
instances by less than quorum, he has sub
verted nearly every principle of constitution
al and parliamentary law heretofore recog-
nized in the House.
By means of these tactics on Tuesday the
Republican contestant from WestVirginiawas
declared a member of the House, thereby ad-
ding one more to the Republican majority.
The Republicans, finding the Democrats
determined to contest every inch of ground
until rules were adopted, on Wednesday for
mulated s set of rules, some of which confer
unusual power on the Speaker.

The TARIFF TURMOIL
Ways and Means Committee
Flooded with Questions
ABOUT PROBABLE PASSAGE
Ofthc Mckinley lslll-Tho Measures
Mny Not Take Eject Until Next
Year if tho Dill Is Pusscd-A f
Long Debate In Prospect.

WASHINGTON, May "a large mum.
Der OF inquiries have been received by
Republican members ofthe Ways and
Means Committee, respecting tho date
Of probable passage Of tho tariff bill.
The date fixed in the bill for the begin.
ming oiits operations Is July next, and
from the statements contained In these
communications it appears that the bus!
iness OF the country is in a very un.
settled condition in anticipation Of un.
looked for changes in the tariff: It is
stated that the sugar trade in particular
is depressed and disturbed. II
10 these inquiries the reply is made
TINT the Senate cannot possibly pass
tho bill finally before the first OF July,
which fact In itself would necessitate q
change in the date iixed.in the bill; aud
the probabilities are that the change to
be made will provide that the bill! shall
not take effect before the beginning OF
the next calander year, and possibly not
until the first OF July, 1891.
Tho committee was in session this
morning trying to reach an understand.
ing respecting the time to be allowed for
the consideration OF the bill in the
House. The Democrats wanted three
weeks at least-two OF them 10 be dc.
voted TO general debate, while the Re.
pnblicans desired to limit the general
debate to ono week and the detailed con.
sderation OF the bill to another week.
No agreement has yet been reached, and
it may yet remain for the Committee on
Rules 10 arrange the programme.

Socialism Oh the lyane,

day, has robbed Socialism Of pretty near.
ly all OF its influence as IN intiuidating
agency, and henceiorth its power over the
laborer will wane until it ceases forever.
Socialism in the congested regions has
hitherto occupied the peculiar position OF
an ill.detined and altogether impractical.
BILE leprinciple accepted by those who knew
nothing oil as 4 means Of obtaining they
knew not what, and who cared less SO
long as it might bring their superiors
down to their own level, and never once

The present outcome OF long weeks OF
boasting and threatening ON the part OF
the Socialist leaders andagitators cannot
fail to open the eyes ofthe toilers to the
injury which their afliliation with these
people is snbiecting them to, and the
prediction is safe that the power OF the
Socialist to continue the use OF the
laborer rs catspaw is at an end, or so
nearly 80 that further dangeris removed.

Some Bron,l Hints.

WASHINGTON, May 2. 2.-Ex.President
Cleveland notified President Harrison
that he would leave tonight for. New
York. During his sojourn here he was
visited by all OF the leading Democratic
tariff rcformers, and impressed them all
with the Importance OF adhering to the
line of policy laid down in the Demo-
cratic platform OF 1883 and tho Mills bill.
Messrs. Carlisle, Mills, Breckenridge and
other prominent leaders on the Demo.
cratic side informed him that they in
tended TO devote all their time in the
coming debate to showing up the in
iquities aud irregularities they profess to
see in the Mckinley bill.
1t was evident, from casual remarks
which were dropped by the ex.President,
that he is in the field for 1892. When an
intimate personal friend told him that
he would like to see him back again, he
very coldly replied that stranger things
had happened. This indicated that an.
other four years lease would not be dis
tnStpful fE .nTtt Ers.
