qHt SPEAKER'S REFORMS.

President Hadley, III one of his public ad-
dresses has happily distinguished between true
public opinion and that something which often
passes for public opinion. but is really an ag-
giomeration of private interests He gave warn
ing against the danger Of letting the latter sent-
ment control legislation-a danger TO which this
country is peculiarly liable owing to the system
Of district representation. This tends to make a
majority Of Congress speak for the selfish inter-
ests Of tneir districts brought into some sort of
mutual accommodation. rather than the inter
ests Of The whole country. The Treasury is
especially exposed TO this danger. A large
number Of congressman, each wanting an ap-
preparation for some purely local purpose, may
combine TO secure vast sum of money, which
nobody who thought merely of the welfare Of
the nation a whole would dream of spend
3ng
No doubt this is one Of the legislative evils
which need guarding against and it is fortI-
nate if Speaker Cannon has, as reported, in
making up the House committees tried as far
as possible TO place on particular committee
men whose districts have no special interest in
the business of that committee. As old mem
beers have sort Of vested right in committees
on which they have long served, he has natu-
rally made no revolutionary changes. But in as
signing new men and in making necessary rear
engagements he Is said 10 have sought TO make
the committees representative of a true public
epiniOn and inclined TO look at every PROPOSE
ton from the national point OF view
Another sort OF special interest which Mr.
Cannon has dealt with most commercially was
Tie ins0lent demand OF the chairman of the
legislative committee Of the knights OF Labor
that he should appoint certain persons 10 the
labor Committee. This demand took the curl
oGs form Of calling on him 10 override the MI
ndrity leader and name two Democrats from
tic same State not recommended by AIr. Will

We long ago thought the Earl of Dunraven
was out Of his proper element in sportsman
ship. At least in international yachting. That
was because he showed certain infirmities of
disposition in the face of defeat which seemed
TO disqualify him for a satisfactory career in
that vocation. We are now the more convinced
of it because o. the admirable fitness for an
other calling which he is displaying. Ameri-
cans have little to regard him with af-
lection Nevertheless, despite certain unpleas-
ant memories, they are inclined TO regard him
with justice. Therefore, it is agreeable to re-
cord that in the domain of craftsmanship
and especially of economies, Lord Dunraven
has recently displayed qualities which go far
toward atoning for his unfortunate experiences
and exhibitions in the races for the Americas
Cup.
We have hitherto referred TO his services in
bringing about the understanding and agree
ment with Mr.. Redmond and other Irish leaders
under which the Irish Land bill was
framed 1t was and is probably no eXaegera-
ton 10 describe these negotiations, in which
he took a leading part and which are called by

For his services in that case Lord Dunraven
deserves to be gratefully regarded throughout
the United Kingdom. Now he is taking part
In the fiscal controversy which is equally cred
liable though not so conspicuous recent ut
terance of his upon this latter subject is worthy
of citation. as indicating the sanity and prac-
ticalty of his reasoning. He says:
The whole theory of free trade is based on
the extinction of nationalities and the substitu-
ton of cosmopolitanism; and the speeches of
all those who designate themselves free trad
ers" and free fooders' rest. consciously or un-
consciously, on that foundation. The ultimate
theme of their discourse is that il is of no con-
sequence whatever in what portion of the earth s
surface our capital. whether in money or work
ing men and women. is invested; and from Il
cosmopolitan point of view the thesis may be
correct. If one language, religion, literature,
government and eXchequer universally prevailed,
and nations had ceased to exist. the particular
field for the employment of capital would be

But as long as the sentiment of nationality. in

In that Lord Dunraven is exactly right Dis
ciples of TOlstoy holding that patriotism is the
greatest of crimes and that love of ones own
country over any other is an awful sin, will not
agree with him. But they are few. and are
not growing in numbers rapidly. The average
