SPEAKER AUFOCRAT.

The Wichita Eagle is usually quite a
sensible and independent journal I'M
TIL the time arrives when the party
lash becomes too hot and frequent. In
the matter Of the contest Of Jerry
Simpson with the autOcrscy of the
speaker, it has virtually taken sides
with Jerry. In one of Its issues it
contained the following.
The spea ker's powers, not necesSa-
rily Reeds powers, but the powers of
that office, have OutgrOwn in every par
ticular what was originally intended.
The speaker IS an absolute car. With
out his help a member of congress
amounts to no more than page. With
out his nod no bill can pass the house.
His power is equal to that of the pres
ident, if not greater, in all legislation.
A twO-third vote may pass bill over
the presidents veto. No vote can
overcome the speakers disapprOval.
No member of congress can secure
recognition from the speaker for the
motion for final passage until he has
pre-arrsnged his motion with the
speaker; until the speaker has read
the bill entirely through; is acquainted
with all its provisions and can see no
harm in it, II, however. he believes
the measure Unsafe, he may and does,
refuse to approve it or recognize the
member who desires to pass it.
This rule makes the member of con-
gress a mere puppet. They do not re-
sist this aud cha nge the rules because
under the present system legislation is
slow and safe. Still the autOcratic
rule Of the speaker is wrong. His
power has been extended beyond all
decent limit, and it should either be
curtailed or all other members of the
House except the speaker be called
home on a vacation"

sleNs or GOOD OMEN.

The phenomenal growth of the
peoples party during the last six years
and the work Of the Chicago demo-
cratic convention in formulating what
| is practically a pOpulist pl tfOrm and
placing its most able and pronounced
advocate of those doctrines upon 1t as
a candidate, are not the only omens
in the political hor zOn indicating
harder times and closer limitations for
those who neither toll nor spin and
yet ale arraved like monarchs both in
the power and habilliments Of power
over those who labor and are heavy
laden.
The legislatures Of more thsn one
State, of what We Term the 'effete"
East, and under republican domino
ton, have undertaken legislation af-
fectlng vast property accumulation,
which il proposed by populists or Bry
An democrats would have received the
carping cries of the mental and small,
as cOnfsCatiOn.
The New York legislature, which is
in the very home of Mammon, passed
an inheritance tax law which is about
as severely graduated as has ever been
prepared Oy the widest pOpulist. The
new law is that all inheritances shall
be taxed five per cent up to $500, 900,
and one per cent additional for every
$3.50 900 in excess of tDat amount up to
SO, 900 900, at which the maximum tax
rate shall stand at fifteen per cent. If
it receives the approval of the governor
there will probably ensue an exodus of
millionaires out of New York, like the
exodus of the Israelltes out of Egypt.
But several other States have adopted
similar laws. most notable among
them Ohio, which it is said, has driven
its BriCes and like characters to take
refuge in New York, from which they
may now be compelled again to move.
Illinois has also an inheritance tax
and other States seem likely in the
course of little time to follow so that
BY and by the regenade millionaire
may have no where else to 60 and will
have to pay the tax. SO far these
statues have we'll stood the tests in
courts.
Michigan, stirred to activity on the
subject by the wakef I'll efforts of her
but honest governor, is
wrestling with a bill to tax the rail-
roads in proportion to their earnings,
the tax with the greater
volume of business. The governor
may veto the inheritance tax law in
New York and the senate may kill
Governor Pingree's measure in Michi-
gan, but nevertheless, these things
show what public sentiment is, and |
will be.

THE sch oil text book law which WAS
taken into court on injunction pro
ceedings to test its cOnsJitutiOnality
has met a better fate than was ex-
pected in the lower court. The pro-
ceedings were commenced in the dis
trict court of Shawnee county before a
republican judge. 1t was de-
clared to be constitutional in every
part. They have appealed, but the
members of the commission have been
notified and are gathering at Topeka

doubtless begun at the instigatlOn of

decided to bid and in fact did offer a
number Of books at prices TO comply
with the law which about cuts the old
prices in the middle. Then all at
once they hauled out and this case in
court doomed IN sight This shows
cOnelusively that the company can
furnish the books at a profit at half the
old prices.
