REED RECOGNIZES NOTHING HIGHER
THAN HIS OWN WILL.

Speaker Reeds readiness to reverse
rulings made by him as Speaker and
opinions given by him as an authority
on parliamentary law would be anus
ing, if the matter was not of two seri-
Gus nature to be so regarded. What
ever standing as an authority on pre-
liminary rules and practice Mr.. Reed
had previous to the present session of
Congress, has been lost by his decisions
which have made it plain that he recog-
nizes nothing higher than his own viii
in making decisions. Heretofore many
people who disagreed with Mr.. Reeds
parliamentary rulings in many particu-
lars have been willing to give him
credit for conscientious belief in them
himself, but they are not now. After
all, Mr.. Reed is not solely to blame.
A few of the republican members of
the House could at any time rebuke
the methods pursued by Mr.. Reed, by
voting with the democrats, but they
have not done and are not likely to do
so. On the contrary, if Mr.. Reed
should rule that the Chaplain's prayer
was out of order and democrat appeal
from the ruling, the republicans would
almost to o man vote to sustain the
Speaker. With the republicans in the
House, it is not question of which is
right to do, but of what Reed wants
them to do. Senator Morgan was
doutless out of order when he made
that attack upon Speaker Reed of the
House on the floor of the Senate, bur
the attack was certainly deserved ant
Senator Morgan's assertion that the
present methods of the House are no
constitutional is receiving close atten
tion, and may result in change.

The selection of Whitelaw Reid and
his brother-in- law, Ogden Mills, to be
respectively Special Ambassador and
Secretary to the Ambassador to repre-
sent the Uaited States at the Queens
Jubilee ceremonies in London, is anoth-
err indication of Mr.. McKinley'y dispo-
sition to cater to the wealthy. White

money and some never very clearly ex-
planned business manipulations, as re-
quired controlling interest in the pa
per established by Horace Greedy, and
later by political trickery got Levi P.
Morton turned down by the republican
National Conversion and himself sub
stituted for Ben amin Harrison's run
ming mate in his last campaign. These
may be reasons why he should be es-
pecially honored, but why Mills who
has never been anything but an idle
society man should be honored is in
explainable on any other ground than
that of money worship ON the part Of
Mr.. Mckinley.

Realize Their Mistake.

New York, May ga dispatch from
Wilmerding, Penn, to the Evening
World is as follows
Six hundred angry and disappointed
mon, who paraded and labored and
voted for Mckinley six months ago, be-
lieving that he would be, as he was
heralded, the advance agent prosperi-
ty, last night tore down the picture of
the president from the walls of their
clubroom. 1t had hung there in an
honored position. They stamped it
under foot and tore it into shreds.
Seven months ago SO strong was their
belief and SO fervent their desire to aid
in McKinley's success that they formed
themselves in clubs and purchased uni
forms to wear in parades. When the
famous parade took place in Canton,
Ohio, in honor of the republican candi-
date these workmen paid their own ex-
penses to the town so as to take part in
the demonstration. Now they bitterly
regret what they did,, and no words
are strong enough to express their feel
ings,
The scene when the portrait of the
president was trampled upon and then
torn to bits was dramatic one.
