The Lottery Decision and the New Rules
Speak Praise for the Last Congress.

Speak Praise for the Last Congress.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. TIA king this
afternoon to an Associated Press reporter.
ex-Speaker Reed said:
The withdrawal by the Louisiana lottery of its
demand for new charter is one of the tri-
unphs OF the Fiftyhrst congress Now that the
supreme court has sustained the constitution
atty OF the antilottery postal act, even the lot
terry company recognizes the futility OF future
existence. The acts of the Fifty first congress
shall stand we'll in the test of time.
With regard to the rules iust adopted, Reed
said that the principle OF responsible govern
ment in the Hosse had been more ruthlessly
recognized in that part of the new regui stIous
regarding the power OF the committee on rules
than had ever been dreamed of in the Fifty-frst
congress. The power 10 enforce the will OF the
House on important measures was lodged in
that committee, so that party legis,a-
ton could have full swing, while
the bill OF an individual member, even
if approved by the House, was at the
mercy OF fihbusterers The right of present
quorum had been denied and the right OF
member TO be present bur for voting purposes
sosent had been revived. All this, however
time and the supreme court would take care of.
Meanwhile it viii be source OF regret to the

WASHINGTON CRY. Feb. 4.--The Peoples
party in the House OF Representatives is in
tact a. political organization and united
as to party measures. and it has press.
In the caucus which met before the organ
ization of the House nine independent
representatives decided 10 preserve their
political autonomy on all questions 10 the
end of the session. Within the past few
days various reports Of alleged dissensions
in the ranks of the nine representatives
have been current and they complained
tonight that these rumors were inspired
by politicians of other parties and tele-
graphed throughout the country for politi-
cal effect. They therefore determined to
issue an address 70 the country. in which
they say that at no meeting was any mo-
tion or suggestion made that the Alliance
should join the Democratic party or cast
their lot with 1t. A disagreement oc-
CURED because certain Alliance
congressman thought the contest

and others that independent action was
necessary. There has been no split, and
each member believes in independent po-
litical action. The only dissenslon that
has come came when they had confer
ences with congressman who adhere TO
old party lines. In an interview Watson
OF Georgia said:
When Livingstone and those who follow him
say they'are for the Oesla demands, but will
hold them in subord nation 10 the Democratic
caucus or Democratic party machinery, they
Certainly take very different view OF the neees-

as honest in our opinions as Livingstone in his,
therefore while the laws we seek to have passed

ing them is so radically different that conflicts,
mutual distrust and irreconcilable differences
naturally arise. Upon that ground we have
