RrrD.s wANINa POWER.

A large bunch Of .nfu nt.al members
Of the House OF Representatives are in
open revolt against Speaker Reed. Dhey
believe .h3. the Speakers do-no,hing
policy has been inspired less by patriot
ic u..dera-.oas than by a desire TO
promote the safety Of MS presidential
boom. so they have held several con-
fa-euces recently with a view to COM
pell.1g him TO take a stand en- the is
sues of The day. OF course, it is very
likely tlat This move against Reed IS in
The interest of some rival presidential
boom. fer the Republicans in Congress
are playing a purely political game, in
which the interests Of the country ara
not considered. But Reed IS in no po-
si.cn 90 ignore or resent a demand from
any wing Of his party that the party
shall DO business. After his smac, and
caust.c comments ON Democratic mac
riv.ty in former Congre it will be
interesting 10 watch his own course IN
this instance.
Speaker Reed has none too many
friends in this Congress. He is not the
Car he was in The palmy days Of the
FIy-frst Congress which passed the
Mckinley iniquity and looted the treas
urv by means Of his gag rule. Then
his iron wll was directed 10 the sup
preston and intim.la..on Of the Dem
oc.atlc minority. and the more he in
vadad the rights Of Democrats the more
he became the Republican idol. Now
the Democratic minority is but an in
significant figure beside the great and
mw.ellly Republican majority, and the
iron will Of Speaker Reed, directed to the
suppression of recalc:traut Republicans
..--> 80 ser''-a- ding or ai- .o-r-, pres
] idenLal aspirations ra5ler than to the
4 promotion Of general party welfare, has
provoked al rebellion which Mr.. Reed
knows his gag is powe-less to suppress.

Transvaal situation, says: The atti-

seems TO indicate that there is rather an
attempt to intimidate Germany than a
serious intention to go to war. The
Transvaal question will only acquire
serious importance If fresh develop

event the complete isolation Of En-
