s9 Advices from the house at Washington
rule into effect during the debate on
the Loud bill that is likely to work a rev.

cussion must be confined to the measure
under consideration.
Mr.. Reed has been roundly abused for
his dictatcrial way of managing matters In
the house and his virtual reduction of that
popular body to n condition of absolute
servtude to the speaker. rendering the
latter indeed and In truth a kind OF pariia-
mentafy autocrat, has provoked wide
spread protest and criticism This last
ruling, however, shows that even a car
can have his countrys interests at heart
at times and do something worthy Of pop.

The usual speochmaking in congress Is
foreign TO the bill under discussion Some
honorable gentleman grants ten minutes OF
his time to some other honorable gentle
men. while the naval appropriation iii,
for example, is before the house, or the
committee Of the whole, and the latter
honorable gentleman proceeds to discuss
the tariff question. or the silver quasiicn.
or the opening of the Uncompahgre indian

another ten minutes is granted to some
other honorable member who IL filled TO

house without action, after three or four
