No More Tom Reedism.

Chicago Post: The drst duty Of the tariff
reform majority in the Fifty-second con-
gress will be to wipe out tbs BLACKBOARD
rules established by the rulian Reed and to
restore the house of representatives TO the
plane of not only deliberate body but q
body of gentlemen.
The tariff reform majority will be 30
large and its powers 80 absolute that q
temptation will assuredly arise to take re-
prisals on Reed and his ilk. We doubt not
there will be democrats in the house who
will urge such reprisals and thus seek to
perpetuate the reign of lawlessness which
has disgraced this country since the Maine
bully assumed his seat. Following
the example OF the Fifty-6rst con-
.gress, its successor might consist
emily unseat every republican representa-
tive and. by installing democratic bull
dozer in Reeds chair, suppress all debate
and convert the house into another bear
garden.
This might by the unthinking be regard
ed as creditable party achievement; it
would, in fact. be q reversal and abnega-
ton of the peoples will calculated to invite
such defeat in 1882 az has overtaken the
Reed clan in 1880. II would mean per-
petuation Of the disgraceful and rufianly
scenes of the past few months. and, il per-
sisted in, the abolition Of government by
the people through their representatives.
We have had enough of Reed closures
and of Reed tactics generally.

have but three months hold on power.
The first move OF the repub licans will
be to pass an apportionment bill that
will give them increased strength in the
electoral college in 1892. The republi-
can leaders have prepared bill provid-
ing that the house shall consist OF 356
members instead Of 332, as at present.
States like Kentucky, South Carolina
and Indiana will be allowed to retain
their present number. The increase
will be one each in Alabama, Arkansas,
Missouri, North Carolina and New Jer-
sey and two in Texas-a total OF seven
in democratic states; and gain Of one
each in California, Colorado, Kansas,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Oregon, Wash
ington and Wisconsin; two each in
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Minnesota
and three in Nebraska "A total Of seven
teen in republican states. To make
this increase take effect in the Fifty
second congress the senate will author
ize special elections to be held in those
states in November, 1891.
While they have been beaten in a
majority of these states this year the
republican bosses OF course count on
getting many OF them back into line in
the presidential year, and from every
state to which they allot another con-
gresham they get one electoral vote.
The coming winter in Washington will
see a mighty battle between the minori-
ty in congress, which now stands for a
great majority Of the American people,
and a majority, whose acts have been
condemned by the people and which
will continue menace to our institu-
tions until it's existence ends on the
fourth day Of next March. ..

THERE is plenty Of time to choose the
man for speaker Of the house of repre-,
sentatives Of the Fifty-second congress.
Good material is abundant, but if the
democratic leaders are wise they will
study closely the meaning of the over
turning Of republican majorities in the
west this year and consider whether it
is not good party policy to continue Of
fensive operations in that section where
the people have just given hearty en-
dorsement to the principle OF tariff re-
form. The next speaker will come from
the middle west il good politics control
the democratic caucus.

The Portland Oregonian tells the re-
publican brethren to cheer up, that
Quay will continue to be their leader.
1t cites the overthrow and subsequent
restoration to power of the notorious
John Nipple Mitchell, of that state, as
showing the willingness OF the 6. o. p. to
forgive its unsavory leaders whenever 1t
finds it cannot get along without them.
1t says:
Attacks were made upon Senator Quay,
Of Pennsylvania, The republican conyen-
ton Of the state passed resolutions cypress
ing confidence in him and approving his
career. Now. q democratic governor has
been elected in Pennsylvania as a rebuke to
MI. Quay. But there is nothing likelier
than that within few years Mr.. QUAY will
be the most popular man in Pennsylvania.
Some years ago the republican party in
Oregon was defeated because senator was
endorsed" yet now there is no opposition
to that senator in tho state. Instances
like these should comfort those persons
who hold that ''the people are ALWAYS
right"
That's the way to talk. The vast ma
jority OF the American people are fools.
A few OF you are right. Quay is all
right; Dudley is all right; Harrison is
all right; the theft Of Montana was all
right; the Mckinley bill is all right; the
force bill is al right. You are the peo-
pie; the mass Of the voters Of the coun-
try are blockhesds. Drat 'em! Keen

The significance of the democratic
victory in Montana calls forth comment
from the press Of the country. The st.
Louis Republic says: ..
Montana resumes its place in the
democratic column, and rebukes the
fraud by which she was deprived OF the
senators of her choice year ago. The
two Dakotas also show signs of getting
together with Montana and applying for
admission to the democratic fold"

Republican Reflections.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: There are
about 100000 fewer people in the country
in 1880 than we're looked for, but the cleo
tions show that there are at least ,O0O, 600
too many democrats.
The elections add two names to the roll
of "men Of destiny" They are those of
Robert E. Pattison, Of Pennsylvania, and
William E. Russell, of Massachusetts.
The Christening rod of defeat may occa-
sionally be applied with advantage to q
political organization, but wearing out
hickory stick on the soft parts is little too
much of a GOOD thing.

BLAINE FOR 1892.

An Able Republican Newspapers Views
OH the Election Result.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat: The elections
just held clear the political atmosphere of
all doubt and speculation regarding the
chances in the republican national conven-
ton OF 1882, and bring one figure clearly
and conspicuousiy into the foreground.
The figure referred to is that of James G.
Blaine. 1t would be vain as we'll as sense
less to deny that the tide, for the time being
at least has turned against the republicans,
The reverses which have been suffered are
not confined to any one state or section, and
cannot be explained by tho operation of
any local influences or tendencies. They
we're met with on the Atlantic seaboard
as we'll as on the Pacific slope, and were
felt in the northern section Of the Missis-
sippi valley az we'll as in the great tier of
commonwealth which, in the old sectional
nomenclature. were called the border
states. The causes of this condition OF
things must necessarily be as general as the
field of their manifestation is varied and
widespread. While several agencies have
been actively at work in bringing about the
republican defeat, the principal instru-
mentality, and the one which alone would
have been sufficient to account for the set
back. is the Mckinley tariff act.
The elections mark new epoch in tariff
legislation. In the record of customs re-
vision on the Mckinley plan the last chap
ter has been closed and the word fms has
been written. Hereafter tariff revision will
mean reduction and not an increase in
rates. In the changed conditions which
confront the party James G. Blaine ia the
