ALL THE COUNTRY AGAINST CANNON.

IT n the great struggle in the House of Representatives for the
overthrow of Speaker Cannon the popular feeling is almost
a unit against Cannon. The newspapers OF the country, no
matter what their politics, are in sympathy with the efforts made
TO get rid of the domineering power of a man who has bestridden
Congress like a vulgar Colossus, debating what laws the people
shall have and shall not have, standing in the way OF national re-
forms and favoing policies and measures inimical to the national
welfare. There were revolts, easily suppressed, against Cannonism,
and the party revolters got their punishment, while the supporters
of Cannon were duly rewarded. On Thursday revolt turned into
revolution. The limit of Cannonism had been reached in the House.
Suddenly the arbitrary speaker found that he was at bay, and had
to use for his own protection the parliamentary arts he had so
we'll conned. BY subterfuge he held his ground. But whether or
not he should successfully beat off the attacks of men bent upon
his decaptanon, the battle was lost to him Not long ago the
assurance was given that Cannon would be a candidate for the
speakership of the next House. The events of this week dispose
Of that prospect. To many Republican leaders who are not "in-
surpentsa the sacrifice of Cannon would give great satisfaction,
for II will take Cannonism, as an issue, out of the political cam
paign this year. For the same reason, Democratic politicians
might be disposed TO have him rehabiitated in authority, as a spec
tacle for the people. Something of this nature has been whispered
in Washington, and it is remembered that the amendment by Demo
cratic Representative Fitzgerald, of New York, last spring was the
bridge over which Cannon passed to renew his autocrauc power
Bt the situation today forbids these tactics. With all eyes on
Washington. the Issue was bound TO be settled, and settled right
