WASHINGTON. Sept. 4, 1893,
rom Our Regular Correspondent
Ex- Speaker Reed has never
displayed greater ability as q
ready debater and an able expo
nent of parliamentary law and
precedent than during the debate
on the new rules, now going on
in the House. The kicking
democrats, of whom there are
quite number, have gladly fol-
lowed his leadership, in exposing
the weak points in the proposed
rules, which he has been merci-
less in doing. The ring demo
Gratis" as several of the kickers
have called those who unquestion-
ably follow Speaker Crisp, have
no man to pit against the ex-
Speaker In debate, and since the
bitter experience of Speaker Crisp
when he left the chair and at
tempted to combat Mr.. Reed, they
no longer try, contenting them
selves with out-voting him and
bis followers, and upon several
occasions they have found that
very difficult to do. The admins
tration Is in no hurry for the
House to adopt its new rules;
hence the adjournment from
Saturday until Wednesday. The
Ways and Means committe Is at
work on the tariff bill-fourteen
days of public hearings began to-
day-and Mr.. Cleveland has no
other work cut out for the House
inst vet and he is not anxious for
it to strike out at go-ss-you
apleRse gait.
History is repeating itself IL
the silver fight in the Senate. The
Southern Senators who have been
relied upon by the silver men
from the Northwest to aid them
in preventing vote apon the un-
conditional repeal of the puichas-
ing clause of the silver law are
slowly but surely going over to the
administration, and during the
last two or three days the pros
pect for an early vote has very
much improved, although the
thick and thin silver men still
say they will fight to the last, but
it is plain to be seen that tLey
ara no longer confident of success,
