the small village of Ballston. This lane is an
execrable one. 1t is full of rocks and RUS
and the devious way in which it twists aud

AN ATTACK ON THE SPEAKER

Congressman Terry of Arkansas ran
counter to the rulings of Speaker Reed at
thursdays session of the House, with the
usual result. Mr.. Terry was squelched ::
but not before he had hurled a number of
abusive epithets at the gentleman in the
chair. This, owever, was not the first
personal attack upon the Speaker since the
extra session began; for several members
OF the minority appear to have made il
their rule OF action to assail the brainy
Chairman at every opportunity. They
have been squelched; but they have
managed 10 get in their contemptible
filings. Thisis good politics." from the
standp point OF buncombe Congressman.
The mem bers of the minority face
tower Of strength in Speaker Reed. They
cannot trifle with him. They cannot dis
turb his solid self-possession. The special
business for which the extra session was
called has been done all too prom pity to
suit the minority. and its united voice
howis oct its rage whenever it can against
the sage parliamentarian whose com N on
sense rules made it possible for the House
10 debate and pass the Dingley tariff bill
within reasonable space of time

G0LD-MINbRS' CONVENTION.

The International Gold Mining Conven-
ton, which meets in the city of Denver,
Colo, in the second week OF JULY
promises to mark the commencement OF a
new era in the mining industry Of the
western hemisphere. No State in the
Union and no part of America is more
deeply interested in the work OF that con-
vention than our own State of California,
and We are glad to note that the miners of
this State will be we'll and ably repre-
sented at that gathering.
Secretary Irwin Mahon of the Denver
executive committee in letter published
yesterday commends THE CALLS cham
P onshlp of the miners cause, and declares
that this paper strikes the rail squarely
on the head" in stating that 1.-THE creation
OF Department of Mining in the Federal
Government and 3 Cabinet officer repre-
senting this vast interest will be vigor-
ou,ly expressed in the convention" as
will also be "a revision and extension of
the Federal mining laws" The move
ment inaugurated by the Miners Conven-
tion In this City has been cordially sup
ported by The CALL with the object of
obtaining from the General Government
the recognition which The Importance of
the mining industry demands, and will be
aided in the strongest practical bic manner
by the favorab bic action of that convention.
THE purposes of this convention are
manifold, says Secretary Mahon. 1T is
the initial step for i thoroughly reliable
business campaign of education in all
branches OF mining, and coming as it does
when universal man is seeking the
precious metals IL is deemed especially
opportune for North and South America
to show what they can do in the produc-
ton of the precious and blse metals, and
at the same time answer the great demand
now being made By the people for reliable
information on mining topics"
There is much merit in the suggestion
OF Secretary Julius Sonntag of the Cali
forEia State Miners Association that not
only the miners but other large Iocal in
dustrial bodies should send representa-
tives to Denver. There is a sentiment
even outside of California in favor of
holding the next international convention
OF miners in San Francisco, and our citi-
Zens should, so lar as it les in their
power, encourage the idea. If the proper
effort be made there is hardly a doubt but
that this City will be awarded the con-
vention for 1898.
The San Francisco call., 1897-06-05

alluding to Mr.. Reed as 1.-The Car" They
used this term frequently after he had en-
forced his famous quorum rule during his
first term as Speaker. They then de-
nounced Reeds rules as unjust and op-
pressivei and yet al the very next Congress,
when the Democrats came into power. a
Democratic Speaker found himself com.
PEELED to adopt Reeds rules in order to
control the House.
Speaker Reed can be depended on 10
reduce the cranks and howlers and
mischief-makers of the House to proper
state of subi9ction; but, as he declared
when he ,quelched the rebelious Jerry
Simpson, 1.-The Hou>e is my master; am
here to carry out the will of the majority"
The words uttered by Congressman
Payne OF New York. in defense of the
Speaker, after the Terry TRADE, are worthy
of re production, as they peak plain trutn.
I'VE have sat by, day after day, and
seen him insulted because we know in
suits from that SIDE of the House could
not hurt him. We saw it tried in 1890
and 1891 We saw him atIacke !, insulted
and even abused with foul names but the
abuse recoiled upon its authors and the
committee sustained the Speaker. Evil
IDENTITY there are still those over there
(poiniing 10 the Democratic sideJ who be-
lleve that lhey can gain some notoriety or
fame by hurting insults at the gentlem an,
whose place in the chair stops him from
defending himself"
The tactics OF the minority are those of
obstruction and delay, and when lis ef-
forts to block the path of legislation are
frustrated its leaders work up a theatrical
rage, inveigh against the chair, and cry to
the galleries that this is no longer free
country because tie majority, represen ted
by tn Speaker, Will not permit the minor
ity to monoDolIze the floor and control the
business of the House.
When the historian of the future shall,
with Impartial judgment, dwell on the
merits Of the statesmen VINO stand in the
forefront OF the peoples fight to-day. he
will accord the need of a deservedIy great
name to Hon. Thomas B. Reed of Maine.
