When Speaker IhomaS Is. REED
brings down his gavel at the
opening OF the Fiftyfourth Con
gress there will be significant
vacancies ON the Democratic side
of the House, where before there
were familiar faces The most
picturesque features of the Dem
ocratic side will be merely mem.
cries. No longer will Kilgore of
Texas sit ON the back row and
object to every favorthat is asked
of the House, or break doors in
with his mighty foot in his frant-
ic efforts to escape from a roll
call. Hatch of Missouri, the
pseudo friend of the farmers and
perennial candidate for theSpeak-
ership. will smile his complacent
smile at home, not atWashington.
Bynum of Indiana will open his
lips no more on the floor. A
majority of many thousands has
put paddock on those lips and
thrown away the key.
Mr.. Reed will look in vain for
the diminutive figure of Wilson
Of West Virginia, whose pose of
a tariff leader lasted for so brief
an hour. The college professor
in politics has been retired to
very private life by the laborers
whose wages he would take away:
and no amount of healths drained
in English wine cups can bring
him back to misrepresent the
State of West Virginia. Bourke
Cochran and Caruth of Kentucky,
joker and story teller par excell-
ence of the House, were left at
the nomination post. Bryan, the
boy orator of the Platte, who
looks like Samuel j. Randall and
talks like Coxey, got buried be-
meath the Nebraska avalanche,
and will practic law instead of
politics. Tom johnson of Ohio,
famboyant and fanatic free trader
must hencetorrh worship his pat
ron saint, Henry George, in tie
privacy of his Cleveland resi-.
dence.
Judge Holman of Indiana, who
called himself the watchdog of
the Treasury, but who was really
the dog in the manger, can growl
atappropriations no longer. His
district used his favorite phrase
Of a object and the false econ.
omist will give wal q q man who
does mo- i,ssievv ~ ne penny,
wise, pound foolish principle.
The assistant watchdog. Dockery
of Missouri, has also been left at
home. Harter of Ohio. whose
speeches were comic operas, will !
not appear on the stage of the
Fifty fourth House.
Enloe of Tennessee was taken
up in the Tennessee cyclone and
carried to a land whence he will
not return 10 Washington. Bland
of Missouri is another one OF the
missing. Breckenridge of Ken
lucky leaves his seat in the hands
of a Republican tenant, and the
historic old Ashland district, the
home of Henry Clay, isredeemed.
The other Breckenridge, the one
from Arkansas, tariff smasher
and Cleveland worshiper. about
whose head still hangs the cloud
of the Clayton murder, was de.
feated by his own party in his
own district and sent to Russia
as a consolation by the ex-leader
IN the White House.
DR.. Evert of Massachusetts
must hereafter practice his Latin
erigrams and free trade theories
upon his schoolboy pupils, and
not upon The House. The seat of
DIR. Lockwood of Buffalo, famous
as the discoverer of Grover
Clevelan'l, who wishes that he
had notl aged the partof politi.
cal Colun.bus, will be filed by a
young Republican. 1t will be a
new ID altogether different
House v nich Speaker Reed will
face al or March A, 1895. Rut

of the House Republicans will
