sideration." He was as good as his
word. He did give the matter con-
sideration until the close of the con-
gress, but he did not permit the ma
jority to rule. He never allowed the
bill to come before the house at all.
Now IT does not require consti-
tutional lawyer to explain that the
constitution of this republic of the
people never intended that one man
should throttle the representative
of the people, and prevent them
from legislating. That IS the stand
which is taken by Col. Hepburn and
a majority of the house; and that
is the reason that it is easy to fore
see that the rules will be changed,
so that no man who may occupy the
chair of the speaker shall have such
imperial power in this republic. 1t
is barely possible that the house will
name it's own committees, as the SEN
ate does; but that reform is not so
imminent.
So long as the speaker is permit
ted to name the committees and dole
out the chairmanships there will be
speakership. For example, four
years ago, New York man was
candidate for the speakership, and,
if he had succeeded, a Kansas man
would have taken his place as chair
man of the committee on Indian af-
fairs. Naturally enough the Kan
sas man supported the New York
man for the speakership, and there
by consulted his own self interests.
Under existing rules no representa-
tive of the people is allowed to lift his
voice in debate, no matter what out
RACES according to his opinion) may
| be under contemplation. The speaker
sits in his exalted position, and never
sees nor hears any representative of
the peop.e who may clamor for recog
milton, n.ess the repres sentative shall
have previously called and stated his
business and secured permission from
| the speaker to address the house. In
that event. if the speaker fully under
| stands the situation and agrees to
give recognition" as they term it,
| the representative of the sovereign
people may be recognized and heard
Under existing rules every bill Of
fered is referred to an appropriate
! committee for considera ton. That
looks we'll on paper. But the presiding
officer scans the bills, and informs the
| chairman of each committee which
| bills shall be considered and which
| shall not be considered. To such an
autocratic condition have the rules
| brought the house that not even be-
| fore a committee of the house does
a representative of the people have
any chance of success, without the
consent of the speaker. For example,
you or some friend may have a bill
providing for the payment of a claim
arising out of the civil war A bill
is introduced and referred to the COM
mittee on war claims. Your bill NAV
not amount to more than 81 900, and it
may be just claim. But the speaker
tells the chairman of the committee
that the claims in all similar bills
amount to upwards of S., O0O, 900, and
that none of those bills shall be re-
ported. The chairman, who was ap-
pointed by the speaker. does as he is
ordered; and your bill dies with all
others by that peremptory order
no matter whether right and justice
q are on your side. SMITH D. FRY.

FESTIVAL SPIRIT IN ART.
A Grand Theme for Some Artist to
Place ON Canvas-A Name That
VIII Always sInspire..

Hail gladstone season of Holy Days!
-haid to those phases of the season
of cheer exemplified by art wherever
found-art in the palace or in the cot
lin the forest or in the open-art
upon the stage-art in the shadow of
ten thousand belfries-art in canvas
touched and awakened into splendid
color by the hand of genius.
The season of Festivity and of its
twin sister, Hospitality, has always
appealed to artists. Just as the Ro-
man drama is said to have had its rise
in the festivities of the rustic youth,
so it is true that many glorious can
vases, ancient and modern in senti-
ment, have been resultant from his
tory's feasting days-some splendid
ones, indeed, by roor, hungry paint
ers who never lived to experienee<for
themselves anything approaching the
safety in which they reveled on can
vas.
A grand theme for a painter some
day, says a writer in the National
Magazine, would be New England
Christmas table scene-in the early
part of the nineteenth century, fol-. in
stance, when wide, old-fashioned fire.
places, with side-settle and backlog
and crane-hanging and warming-pan
comforts were the order of the day:
when, as also at Thanksgiving, all the
members of the family come together
to the home ireside-when the live
oak ceiling timbers rang and rang
again with Yule-tide cheer.
The one for whom the years great
est Holy Day was named will, as in
ages past, inspire the artist as long as
| the world shall last. From the baby
in Mary's improvised cradle in Bethle-
hem down to the cruel cross on Cal
vary, each step of His life has been
painted again and again.
