THE PASSING OF THE HOUSE.

TN0OiNS VI i'1 w w.
The San Francisco Chronicle con
tends, and not without some reason
that by the adoption of the Reed
rules the house of representatives has
abdicated it's high functions, and be.
come merely a machine for register
ing the ediCtS of a few men. With
the adoption of these rules, the Chron-
icle says the house ceased to be an
important factor in shaping public
opinion or IA forum worth entering by
one ambitious Of political distinction.
As a matter of form, all laws must
receive its approval but the public has
ceased to takc note OF or care what
takes place in its hall, for the national
policy is determined in the senate

Such a condition Of affairs. con-
tinues the Chronicle, lis bad for the
house and bad for the nation. The
house of representatives is closest to
the people. and is the only forum in
which the varying shades of popular
opinion can fnd adequate expression
1t is the only Legislative body in which
the popular will can make itself
properly felt. 1t is the forum in
which it was intended that the details
should be minutely discussed. 1t was
