House Rules and Responsibility.

VIII they be changed at all at this ses-
SON or even at the next?
There are two questions Would 1T be

tie matter he decided within the party?
Is IT not, in sense. Il family matter? And
Question two is. Is a union as to details
possible between the insurgent republicans
aud the democrats?
ON this latter point an unnamed in
surgent is quoted as follows:
The democrats are an uncertain G4an-
tity. OF course. they voted solidly the
other day with us on the Gardner reso-
luton. That was merely an academic
proposition favoring s. change in the rules.
and the democrats went on record as
tavoring a change But when we come
before the House with specific amend
mentS. these same democrats may declare
that they are not sufficiently strong and
oppose them on that ground. or they may
amend the amendments in way the re-
publican insurgents cannot support
There is also the danger that many o,
the men who do not really wish q change

democratic side as well as on the re-

Scientific Graft Hunting.

The graft hunters in Pittsburg were up
to date in their methods, using a flash
light to photograph one of the bride
takers In the act of accepting a roll OF
bills from a supposed contractor who had
been 'held up for funds in exchange for
the privilege OF selling paving blocks TO
the city. This photograph will be offered
in evidence to prove corruption. Why
was not a talking machine employed as
we'll? The combination would have been
Enthusiastically effective.
But it may not be necessary to rely
upon such means to secure convictions.
The cases appear to have been well
worked out by the detectives employed
on them, and, indeed, it is now stated
that the inspiration for the whole enter
prise against the sra!ters came straight
from federal headquarters, and that
the governments resources were employed
in preparing the way to the punishment
of the bride sivers and takers. If any OF

that And there the allies would be likely
to part company.
This is given as a feature of the case:
Representative Champ Clark. the new
minority leader. does not feel himself
warranted In binding his party to any
program until he sees how the democrats
line up He objects to forming an alli-
ance with the insurgents. which they may
break later and leave the democrats high
and dry. The minority is willing to stand
for amendment of the rules in accordance
with the Denver platform. but it would
! like to get some of the credit for the
reforms
Mr.. Clark is a shrewd man in his day
and generation. If the democrats carry
the SiNty-second House he will be the
speaker. His elevation to the minority
leadership Of the present House, which
carries with It the same position in the
next House, means the gavel for him as
soon as his party can control it.
Now when the gavel comes Mr.. Clark
wants 1t to bring along some power. He
has served in the House long enough
to know the value of thesspeakership. and,
with the office in his eye, he is not likely
to aid in robbing it OF its consequence
In all probability, he favors changes in
the present rules, but not such as would
leave the speaker merely presiding
officer.
1t would not emharrass Mr. Clark to
help the republican insurgents embarrass
Nr. Cannon, and then, at a later day, in
the event Of democratic success, ask his
own party for rules restoring to the
speakership much of lis old prestige.
Political leaders accommodate themselves
easily to circumstances. In the Eifty-first
Congress when Mr.. Reed as sneaker was
applying the rules he had framed, no.
body on the democratic side of the
chamber opposed him more vigorously
than Judge Crisp OF Georgia. In the Fifty
second Congress Judge Crisp occupied the
chair. and applied with success and great
energy the very rules which when he was
in the minority he had denounced un-
sparingly.
The republicans should attend 10 this
business themselves. They will control
the next House and be responsible for it
business, and hence its business should
be transacted under rules OF their own
devisement. Let them make all changes
necessary.

Money Spent at Christmas.
rom the Newark Star.

From the Newark Star.
Undoubtedly a great deal of money is
wasted during the Christmas holiday sea-
son that could be put to better uses, and
in too many cases is needed after the
holidays. But the great bulk Of the
money spent is well spent. Christmas
comes only once year. and the spirit 1t
brings in it's train is the best and hap
piest of the year. and is richly worth
paying for. Nor do its ideals depart with
the old year 1t would be strange. indeed,
If the desire to give pleasure and happi-
ness to others, which the Christmas sea-
son awakens, should not make men and
women less selfish and more kindly the
rest of the year. 1t would be singular If
all the sweetness of the Christmas festi-
val should be confined to the season and
the holiday. Is not much Of the benevo-
lent spirit. the charity and good will wit
messed from January to December, due
to the influence of Christmas and its Gus
toms? And, therefore, if there is much
wealth expended in holiday giving and
holiday entertainment, does it not bring
rich returns? What, indeed. would the
civilized world be without a Christmas
festival and without its traditional and
beautiful Observances?

likely to be accepted in the form pre-

Longs Reply to Reuterdahl.

Inc reply of John D. Long, Secretary of
the Navy under President Mckinley. to
an article by Henry Reuterdahl. in which
the latter. to the diScredit of the former.
refers to the work of preparing the navy
Tor the war with Spain, deserves to be
studied at this time of frenzied contro-
versy for its effectiveness and restraint.
Epithets are completely barred. The word
liar does not once appear And yet one
lays down the paper well convinced that
Mr.. Reuterdahl, as Gov. Long charges.
wrote without sufficient paration. and
in doing SO did a great injustice, not only
to the head OF the Navy Department. but
to the large staff of competent and pa
triotic men who were assisting him.
Just how the reply would have read
couched in popular terms must be left to
the imagination. Mr.. ReuterdahI wrote
fresh from an interview with the man to
whom he assigned the whole credit. He
had not interviewed Gov. Long, or any of
the other navy officials whom he was
aspersing. His information, therefore, was
not only incomplete, but one-sided. Ii
was bound to reflect its source. There
are men who with such a case to deal with
would have exhausted the vocabulary of
denunciation. But Gov. Long disposes of
his man without drawing on that vocabu-
larry at all.
Maybe Gov. Long was influenced some
what by the reflection that his fate was
the common fate of all'' in that business.
Mr. Mckinley and all his advisers were
ridiculed as members of the Peace So
ciety. There was a great outcry for i'm
mediate action. ''On to Havana was as
loud and impatient a cry as ION to Rich
mond' had been forty-odd years before.
And many of those who uttered it were
wholly unadvised as to what would be
necessary to reach Havana. So possessed
were they by the martial spirit that they
would have started in a rowboat, equipped
with bulldog pistols.
The President and his advisers were not
so impetuous. They knew what the ex-
petition demanded. Before 4 start for
Havana was made there was work TO be
done. Nobody was idle. Both the War
Department and the Navy Department
were rushed to the limit. Everybody re-
sponded with will. Otherwise We should
have failed The situation had ripened so
quickly we were in no condition to meet
even Spain. But. with everybody re-
the start was made and Havana reached.
Still, all of this was lost on the Hot
spurs They continued their vocifera-
tons. and somebody in the House of Rep
resentatives claimed that the President
and his friends had been dragged into
the war by the scruff of their necks.'
1t is largely a matter of temperament.
Some persons work quietly, but none the
less industriously and successfully. Others
create stir and keep it up as long as
they are employed. They invite observa-
ton. They reach out for all the reward.
And occasionally they get it all. Noise
and audacity are potent factors some
times. A brass band is not the thing for
"a ducking party or fishing party but
it draws a crowd on the street, and the
unthinking follow with raptures. much
