Reed on the Rules.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Feb. 5.--Ex-Speak-
er Reed said in an interview regarding
the rules adopted by the House yesterday
that ''the principle of responsible govern
ment in the House had been more ruth
lessly recognized in that part of the new
regulations relating TO the power of the
committee on rules than was ever dreamed
of in the Fifty-first Congress. Power to
enforce the will of the House was lodged,
in important measures, in that commit
tee, so that party legislation could have
full swing, while the bill of the individual
member, even il approved of by the House,
was left to the mercy of the fillibuster
The right of present quorum had been
denied and the farce of the member pres
ent for the purpose of being absent has
been revived
1.-THE debate" he continued, has shown
that the good example of the last two
years has not been entirely lost What
used to be calleI 'tyrany and is now on
the road to be called good sense has been
established in the great and unexampled
power conferred on the committee on
rules. The folly of wasting the time Of
the House i'm the reference of bills has
been forever doIe away with.
