Czar Reed Attempts "a Continuance 81
his Bullying Tactics.

His Bullying Tactics.
EX-Spcaker Reeds attempted criti-
cism of Speaker Crisp's ruling on the
question of quorum in congress
was ill-timed and pointlcss. 1t was
worse even than that for it was
the malicious effort of batficd and
disappointed usurpcr to vent his rage
upon a man who respects the constitu-
ton and the rights of the representa-
tives of free people. Mr.. Reed is so
pulled up by the recent decision of the
supreme court sustaining his quorum
counting rule that he fails to discern
the distinction between upholding Il
rule and the propricty of establishing
such a rule If the late congressional
ear possessed average discretion he
would be very quiet upon the subjec,
of quorum in the presence Of man
who, when their positions in the house
were reversed, proved morc' than a
match for the temporary autocrat.
There is another reason for Reeds
silence on this point which he would
appreciate if he were not inSensible to
humiliation. He led his party 10y his
revolutionary practices To the most
disastrous defeat in its history. Any
man not having the skin of rhinoc-
eros would in Reeds place feel lcenly
the shame and disgrace of that defeat.
But the eN.Speaker, like "a genuine re-
publican, ignores the crushing condcm-
nation of himself and his rules by the
final arblters, the people, and finds
cause for gayety in the technical ruling
of court. The mockery of his pre-
tended smartncss is strikingly shown
by the absence from their seats of some
two hundred republican members of
congress for whose defeat at the last
election he and his rules are largely
responsible. Chicago Herald.
