The House Committee on Rules.

The weak and tottering triumvirate that
now constitutes the committee on rules of
the House Of Representatives have charge
of machine they are finding too difficult
to manage. They are worn out left overs
from the time when Reeds powerful hand

Henderson, Payne, Dalzell and Grosvenor
useful engine greasers, but when he left
and they assumed his task the difference
between a skillful engineer and a set of
amateur stokers soon became apparent.

compliant errand boys for Reed, do not make
suitable men to carry on his work, baleful

House
After all, there is plenty of intellect in

manhood by artful clap-trap 6nds himself

reasonably certain that he is now serving
his last term as Speaker, no matter which

Reed introduced a system Of autocratic
control by the Speaker that was ct only for
Russia, but he was able to uphold it. The
triumvirate Of lackeYs on whom his mantle
fell found it a task far beyond their powers
Three commonplace tricksters, or three
thousand for that matter can never do the
work Of one man Of commanding power
and intellect.

pletely given over TO uarrowness Of spirit

such iuterrogatories. That such speeches
as that Of Senator DolIiver, upon such an
occasion, was in bad taste goes without say
ing. There was no necessity for it, certainly
no necessity for contrasting the patriotism of
one religious people with that of others. It
was an insult to every soldier of every reli-
gious body in the Northern army who did
not belong to the Methodist body and an
insult TO every member of the Methodist
Church south of the Ohio River who wore
the grey.
Such speeches are harmful They add
nothing to the church it is intended to
commend, and it detracts nothing from
other religious denominations whether in
territorial OF not insulted by such things.
In marked contrast with Senator Delivers
speech, was that of the late President Nc
Kinley at the unveiling of the Cross Of
Peace on the site of the Cathedral Of St
Peter and St. Paul. There was nothing in
the latter's utterance save pure fervor and
genuine religious feeling. No sign Of in
tolerance in the broad catholicity of the late
President We would advise the Junior
Senator from Iowa to look over the files Of
the Washington Post and read what the late
President then said. 1t would teach him a
lesson Of tolerance of which he stands in
need, aud also a lesson in good taste in
which he seems sadly deficient

DoIliver,s-Demagoguerr

The.ceremonies attendant upon the laying
of the corner stone Of the College of Gov
ernment-the Mckinley memorial build
1ug-whiCh is to be one of the many com
prisiug the American University, were in
the main interesting and edifyiug. The
speeches, some Of them, were in good taste
and appreciated. The enterprise, which is
exhibited in the institution is commendable,
and every citizen and resident of Washing
ton is doubtless glad to see the buildings
arising one after another and become part
of the adorument of the Capital Every
one who can appreciate such an enterprise
must be gratihed that such an institution Of
learning has, in fact, become a reality, and
that it will 60 forward to final completion.
But It seems strange in such a simple
thing as laying a corner stone even though
by a sect that the occasion could not pass
without sectarianism being introduced al
most to an unpardonable degree. Not only
sectarianism but demagoguery Senator
Dolliver, who is eloquent, man of ability
and force, could not in the short space Of
time allotted to him avoid giving a fling at
the other religious bodies of the United
States by showing how much more patriotic
the Methodist church was during the late
civil war,than they. He said the Methodist
church hadlsent more soldiers to the army
in the North than any other one church;
the inference being Of course that the
Methodists we're the more patriotic. To
that he added some words Of Lincoln to sus-
tain him. We used the word demagoguery
a moment ago. In reading over what the
Senator said we cannot use any other word
that will 6t 80 we'll in his hunting up what
Lincoln said upon an occasion very differ
ent from that which called for the services
Of the Senator. The laying Of a corner

ing and teach men to preach peace on
earth and good will TO man, " it seems ought
not 70 be used for the purpose of drawing
inyidious distinctions which can only be
harmful, or if not positively harmful can
only wound.

senator Foraker,s speeeh.

Seuator Foraker's speech on the Philip
pines was an exceedingly clear and com
prehensive exposition Of the administration
policy towards these dependencies. 1t was
NOT expected that so good a soldier as Cap
tain Foraker would justify He'll Roaring
lake" Smith Nor did he. But the Senator
followed the set purpose Of the majority to
make the army in the Philippines an issue
in his praise of its valor and endurance.
The Democratic position has not been and
will not be hostility to or criticism Of our
soldiers in the archipelago. They are
simply machines and Senator Foraker's war
experience admonishes him that confronted
by an enemy the American soldier will and
must 6ght. Thislis a ervldifierent thing,
however from the slaughter and butchery
order to make. Samar "a thowliug wilder
ness" and 10 kill all over ten years Of
age" The Senator in touching on this
order expressed himself. better than in any
other portion of his speech, if we except
the decidedly telling points he made on
Senator Patterson's Colorado newspaper.
He thought or hoped, If he did not express
a belief, that 'theEorder OF General Smith"
would turn out to be less revolving or ex-
plainable by further light and facts not yet
in possession Of the public. Let us hope so
for the honor Of the country and the honor
of American ans. The most atrocious
Spanish butcher ever sent to Cuba as cap
tain-general issued a proclamation to shoot
all Cubans over sixteen years of age who
were captured away from their habitauons
or assigned districts. This proclamation
referred only to male Cubans
But Smiths order limitcd the living to
ten years of age and the haoitations Of the
Filipinos were to be their sepulchers ire
spective of age or sexl
The light and playful portion of the
Senator's speech was a rich treat to the visi-
tors in the gallery and reads entertainingly
in print. We were present and heard the
asJouuded Colorado Senator's editoTials-or
rather the editorials in his uewspaper-read
by the Ohioan. There were prolonged mo-
ments during the reading when we would
scarcely. as a consistent Democratic writer,
exchange newspaper properties with Sena-
tor Patterson with his toga thrown in. The
Ohio Senator could have entertained and
held a much larger audience with this por-
tion of his speech.

We saw statement not long ago that a

tories and that such of them as had already
been made repositories were inclined to
withdraw from circulation their issue Of
bank notes, and also to withdraw the bonds
that were deposited as security for such cir
culationi the reason being that it was more
profitable to loan the government money de-
posted with them than to loan their own
notes and be responsible for them. We do
not pretend to great financial ability but
from above statement it would seem to an
amateur in finance that but one side was re-
ceiving any great benefit from such
scheme. The banks which have the money
on deposit are the only persons deriving any
very great profit They Of course could and
would make money. But how about the
people who put up the revenue? Where do
they come in? From whence comes their
profit? Does it not seem queer to one not
inside Of a charmed circle that a great gov.
eminent should tax people far beyond it's
needs and deposit the surplus in pet deposi.

York for instance to be loaned out to the

The Republican tendency to centraliza-
ton of power enabled Reed to issue ukases
in the shape Of the bills he permitted to be
enacted by Congress He said to each aud
every member of the House, 'go' and he
went Do this, " and il was done. Hen.
derson in trying to pursue the same course
finds himself like the old farmer who
yoked himself TO an unbroken steer IN order
the better to train the beast, but found that
the steers ideas on the subject had power
Gul weight.
AT all events, it would seem that the
spectacle of three ordinary political aero
bats and coutortionists trying to play tile
part Of trumvirate of iron handed tyrants
is one that should be found more tiresome
than edifying when the performance has
been so long drawn out.
To be ruled by powerful monarch is bad
enough, but to stand and COVER before
three fustian kings, with pasteboard crowns
and cornstalk scepters, is hardly the part
Of men of mettle. To tamely lay down
your arms to trio of Falstaffs, that have
more wind than wisdom, more bluster than
courage, and more paunch than power, and
who will flee bowling to the tall timber if
you but say boo to them, seems pity and
entirely gratuitous and unnecessary.

Lentz, of the Columbus (Ohio) district,
in the last Congress, had the sagacity and
quickness of perception to see the hollow
ness Of the assumptions Of this committee
on rules, made up OF the same asses mas
querading in lions skins that now constitute
1t. He quickly sized up the true character
and standing of the outfit, and he did not
revere it a little bit as the rasping language
in which he characterized its different
members in debate, fully demonstrated.
An excellent strategist, and a quick and
power hittersh introduced the committee
on rules to their first taste Of real misery
and if he could have had the support he
would have in this Congress, he would have
made a mere reminiscent wreck of these
seli-adoring tiu-armored, small majesties
So much did they fear him that they con-
centrated the Republican power Of the state
and nation to keep him from returning to
this Congress, and then only succeeded by
a very narrow margin, and by the use Of
fraud and chicauery.
