REEDS VINDIOATION.

One of the first things done by the
Democrats after they got control of the
House of Representatives was to change
the rules adopted by the Fifty-first
Congress. These were the famous Reed
rules, their object being to prevent fiji
clustering by dilatOry motions and to
enable a majority to transact business.
The country has not forgotten what
bitter contest there was over the adop-
ton of these rules, how violently the
Democrats opposed them, and what an
amount of abuse they heaped on
Speaker Reed for enforcing them. They
denounced the rules as infamous, and
Speaker Reed for enforcing them as a
tyrant, a car and everything else that
was odious. AS soon as the Democrats
got control of the House they adopted
new rules, which again made it
possible to filibuster. An expe-
rience of two sessions has dem
Onstrated the necessity of stricter rules

indications are that the House will re-
adopt the Reed rules. or something very
like them. 1t is found absolutely neces-
sary to do something TO prevent fill

legislate. Representative Catchings. of
Mississippi. who was prominent men,

who voted against the adoption of the
Reed rules, says:

Quite q number of leading Democratic
members of the House, including Mr..
Crisp. who, undoubtedly, will succeed
himself as Speaker, have expressed
themselves in favor of such change in
the rules as that above indicated. When
the change is made the Democrats
ought to have the grace to admit that
they were wholly wrong in opposing the
Reed rules of 1890, and that the abuse
and utilization which they heaped on
him for enforcing them were unde-

which happened in the last century. As q
bit of history it might not have been so
readily recalled by any save English
students had it not been for the verses

of maturity destroyed ON illusion. 1t Is
not meritorious. 1t is u series of stanzas, OBJ

gravity of the subject saves the production.
Here is one stanza:

There is little poetry and less rhyme In
those lines. These are not much better:

The resurrection and rereading of the
old poem proves anew two things. namely:
That poet laureate cannot always be key ed
up TO the true poetry maklng point. and
that only the choicest bits of literature.
and especially of verse. should be prepared
for young peoples use in schools. for it is
what they learn there that they remember
