Every other means having failed to
bring Big Bully Reed TO a sense of his
duty as the presiding officer Of the low
err house of Congress, it is now pro-
posed. on the suggestion of Senator
Morgan. to inquire into the constitu-
tional.ty Of existing conditions in the
House. This is probably the wisest
plan of attacking Reeds abuse of the
power Of the majority centralized in
one boss. Reed, with the consent of
the Republican majority in the House,
assumes the power to run that body
as he pleases. He has declined to APP
point the committees and thus COM
plete the organization of the House
for the transaction of business. He
forces the House to adjourn for the
greater part Of the time.
If it can be shown that this course
is contrary to the constitution and af-
fects the legality of the session of
Congress so vitality as to invalidate
legislation. Speaker Reeds abuse of his
power will be rebuked and corrected
in the best possible way.
This is a country of constitutional
liberty and law. The rights of the peo-
pie are founded upon organic law and
their liberties are protected by law.
If it can be demonstrated that political
abuses can be corrected by law and
the rights of minorities in Congress
protected by law we prove the sound
ness Of the foundations of the govern
ment. The proper way of remedying
all wrongs and abuses is pointed out.
The argument of hopeless inertia and
of anarchism-thata abuses can only be
corrected by revolution-is answered.

EWING BROS.

come only through personal Kho"I-
edge He visited an extensive camp
of nacificos. Camp Florido, within an
bour's ride of Havana. Hundreds OF
nalm buts we're spread out on either
side of the railroad tracks, a barbed
wire fence eightFeet high was stretched
on the outskirts OF the settlement
while outside the fence ran a deep
ditch. On knobs and hills were the
fortilinios, or small forts, garrlsoned
with seatinels on the lookout. Inc
pacifcos were desperate with hunger
but they dared not break through the
fence into the open country to OBTAIN
food. They would be shot before they
crossed the ditch. The poor wretches
were wandering around within their
pen liked Gagged animals.
Mind you, these people who are SUI
fering the pangs of hunger are women
children and old men, non-combatants'
who only want the opportunity to work
the soil for food. Calhoun saw hun
dreds of women and children in actual
starvation. He saw peaceful people
with their wrists and ankles badly
swollen and or inquiring of a physi-
clan the cause found that they were
in the "anaemic" condition, the blood
turning TO water for lack of food. Ana
many of these starving people are
American citizens. whom the Spanish
will not permit to leave the towns 10
obtain food.
These are some Of the conditions as
seen by the special Commissioner.
Evidence has been submitted to show
that in the interests of commerce alone
the United States has sufficient cause
to intercede. Calhoun. leaving COM
mercial conditions aside, will likely rec
ommend that the war be brought to
a speedy close for the shame of it upon
the American people. The federation
Of Weyler's mode of warfare almost
within sight of our shores, is more than
a liberty-loving people can stand.

The Fairmont West Virginian makes
the statement that there are now "a
million more men at work than there
were last fall" AS our contemporary
does not give its authority, it must
nardon us for doubling the truth OF
its statement. We know that the times
are generally conceded to be worse to-
dav than they were before the cleo
tion. We know that the columns Of
the press have been full of news from
all quarters about the shutting down
of mills and factories, etc, and the
turning of thousands out of employ
ment in consequence and because OF
shorter hours and the cutting down Of
working forces We have not heard
Of any concerns starting up. Our con-
temporary has just gotten the facts
backward. as some Republican editors
we know of have a trick of doing, II
ANYTHING. there are a million less men
at work now than there were last fall.
