Cannon Comes Back"

In the Lower House. as said above,
the sensation was unexpected. though
II was divulged later that II was pre-
arranged. Il may be designated as
the coming back" OF Speaker Cannon.
II will be remembered that last March
the insurgents. aided by the Demo-
Gratis, stripped Mr.. Cannon of much OF
his power by sustaining an appeal
from his decision and charging the
committee on rules ON Monday a like
motion TO the SO called Norris re-
solution was put before the house and
Cannon ruled as he ruled last March
but this time. to the amazemont az
the House and unmindful Of their in
consistency. the Democrats Joined
with the stand-patters and sustained
the speakers rule. thus reversing the
ection of the House last March and
putting themselves on record as re-
dictionaries.
Democrats on Record
The Insurgents endured their re-
versal without murmur. but from all
over the Republican side the Demo-
Gratis were tainted for their disloyal-
ity and for being mere opportunists.
Now that they are soon TO be In
majority in the House they are will
ing to recede from the advanced
ground thcy helped the Insurgents
TO take last year and seem to be plan
ming to secure for their leader MIR.
Clark, the same autocratic power that
Speaker Cannon has welded. The
only defense that Mr.. Clark had 10
make for his change Of front and
that OF his party was that every
man voted as he pleased and | adj
vlsed them to do So"
So the Democratic party is on re-
cord already, and II the House Of
Representatives is TO be liberated It
is yet to be done by Republican In
surgents.

FAILURE Of MERCANTILE COMPANY
D Be INVESTIGATED BY GRAND JURY.

month. At the time of the failure oil
the latter concern it was stated that the
cause OF its failure was that its funds
had been tied up in the trust company.
Douglass Stuart was appointed receiver
and afterwards Fl. Noel Garner was ap-
pointed special commissioner to prepare
statement of the liabilities and assets
OF the concern. Since that time the
silence Of the tomb has enveloped every
thing and everybody connected with the
former institution, and the only answer
that was made to repeated questions
was that the affairs we're in such a
trangled condition that it was impos-
sible to make any statement.
It was stated that a report would be
produced in August and again Sep
tember first was named as the time
when some light would be thrown
upon the failure but both of these
dates passed without a word. In the
meanwhile many rumors have been
spread over the city in regard to the
company but they only brought forth
general denial that there had been
no criminal action on the part OF any
one connected with the company.
The Gazette in an editorial a few
days agopointed out the fact that the fail
ure of the Mercantile was a more seri
GUS matter to Alexandria than that of
the Trust Company. While the credi-
tors of the latter institution were scat
tered all over the state those OF the
Mercantile were confined to this i'm
mediate vicinity.
