The Speakers Ruling.
Especial to the Press

Special to the Press.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The two things
that have served above all others to estab-
lish the position of the Speaker in reference
to the question of quorum on unassailable
ground in the public estimation have been
the natural common sense of the position
and the calmness and evenness of temper
with which he carried through the ruling.
The great body of men and women who do
not keep close run of current events in Con-
gress, but who yet have real interest in the
welfare of the nation, were profoundly i'm
pressed with the self control exhibited by
the Speaker in the face of the most exasper-
ating assaults that have been directed
against the presiding officer of any parlia-
mentary body for many years in this coun-
try. To the readers of the newspapers, the
admirable conduct of the Speaker has be-
come an old story by reason of the number
of times that it has been commented upon.
Nevertheless, here in Washington, the Re-
publicans do not cease to talk of it, as the
visitors from all parts of the country, who
are continually coming in, do not let them
forget 1t. Mr.. Reed has not ceased to re-
ceive letters commencing him for his self
control. The latest one is from member of
the Society of Friends, very eminent man
both in that society and in the nation. man
whose yeas and nays have marked the
Quaker in the busy turmoils of many high
places. He writes to Mr. Reed as follows,
and 1t is safe to say that no letter of congrat-
ulati0n and commendation is more highly
priced by the recipient:
Il have watched thy contest with the en-
emy in the House on the rules with interest
and admiration, and allow me to say in all
candor that do think my friend, that thee
outdid thyself confess that with all my
cultivated gentleness it would have been i'm
possible for me to have submitted to those
outrageous taunts and insults without ever
being betrayed into an impatient word. That
cannot convey to thee the full measure of
my admiration and congratulation for it. l
am very sure that the best sense of the coun-
try, Republican and Democratic. approves
and applauds the result"

GRAIN STANDARD.
The Products Of the Soil Should
BE Classified,
Especially Wheat, Corn, Rye,
Oats and Barley

Argumnet Of Consrossmau Morcy Before
the House Committee on Agriculture
Then the Hard-WorlsIng Tiner of the
Soil Would No Longer Be at the Mercy
of the Inscriptions speouistor
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. Representa-
tive Morey made an argument before
The committee on agriculture in favor
OF National standard for American
grams, which was ordered printed by
the committee. Among other things
Mr.. Moray said:
'Jt is the great Office Of the farmer to
furnish the food supply Of the world.
How can we best enable the American
farmers TO supply our people? Upon
what condition can the consumer ret
the best bread, and the farmer tho most
certain and adequate reward for his
labor and his toll Many panaceas are
offered; all kinds Of chimercal schemes
are invented and presented to the farm
or as cure for all the ills he has fallen
heir to-
But. Mr.. Chairman, IN my opinion.
one of the most Deneficient things that
congress can do for the farmer will be
to enact legislation such as win tend to
elevate the standard of the products of
the soil; such as VIII encourage the
ralslng OF better wheat, corn and oats.
and Will protect the same from being
adulteratcd and degraded before II
reaches those who buy il for bread If
congress, by q law, helps to bring about
this beneticent result, il will secure
purer food to the people which is their
right and to the farmer q suraf una
better reward for his labor, which is his
due.
From the nature Of his occupation,
the farmer is isolated and somewhat re-
moved from his fellows, each operating
independently The product of his
farm IS IN each case limited in quantity,
ana forms the smallest part Of the ag-
Bregate production. and ii only becomes
commercially a part of that aggregate
after it passes from his possession into
the hands Of the middle men.
Here, the good and the bad, the
clean and the filthy. the sound and the
unsound grain are assembled together
and the result is that local and sppcu-
latiye interests deteriorate ana degrade
the products Of our American farmer
with injury to both consumer and pro-
ducer thoughtful and experienced
men have given this subject long
patient and patriotic consideration, and
the result of the best thought is That u
National standard of classification and
grading OF wheat and other grain is tho
best means Of further improving tine
quality Of our food products, and the
best protection Of those who raise pure
grain against deterioration by mingling
herewith grain Of inferior quality nm
