i’huci’h ui ihc .Speaker.
The National Republican, publish-
dl nt Washington, wants the powers
of t.ho .Speaker of the lioueo limited.
It says :
“The Speaker of tho American
House of Hoprosentatives is an ab
solute despot, with more power than
is possessed by tho rulers of most of
tho civilized nations on the earth.
“It is not absolutely certain, Ihon,
that with all tho legislation having
to pass through tho committooB, tho
man having power to select tho mem
bers of each committee can control
the legislation on any subject- can
force his viows upon tho House and
prevent the consideration of any
ntoasuro ho is opposed to ?
“It is not absolutely true that this
has been done—that the Sprtakor liau
prevented legislation by the powor
ho oxorcised in the soleotion of tho
committees ?
“A vast majority of the poo'plo
wuy demand cortain legislation.
Two hundred and sixteen members
of the House (ouo less than two-
' thirds) may favor it, Tho Senate
may be ununimoua for tho meusure;
tho prosidont may recommend it,
but tho Spoakor, because of his right
to solcot committeemen, can defeat
it.
“Tho House snrrondored its pow
er of legislation through that rule,
union two-thirds of the members
are in favor of a measure and unite
to suspond tho rules.
“And under a onetom which has
grown into a monstrous abuse, oven
a two-lhirds majority cannot over
como tho Sponkor’s powor, and that
is the custom by which the Speaker
refuses to recognise any one to make
'a motion or Qflor a resolution to silt
lH'ml tho rules unless he is advised
of the pbjeot sought to bo accom
plished.'
• ’“Tho powor to name tho cornmit-
,1.008 makes the Spoakor an autocrat
who controls legislation. Tho u-
surpatior. which permits him to re
quire a mombor to ask for rcoogni
"tioii makes him n despot and tho ro-
pioHontatircs of tho Ameriouu people
his abject dependents.
“Tho rulo should bo ohangod, and
tho House scluot its oommitteos ns
tho Sonato does; that is, lot each
party oIioobo tho mou it desiros to
have sorvo on the various ootumit-
teos. Thou tho roprosou tali von of
tiio peoplo could frame and present
legislation.
“Tho usurpation should ho over
thrown which requires tho mou se
lected by the pioplo of tho United
States to nuke their laws, to approach
title of tlmir own number and ask
permission to bo heard on tho floor
of the House. The {Speaker should
ho required to recognise tho flrst
man who rises to address him, and
then lot the ilouso determine wheth
or it will act upon tlui meusure ho
propses.
' “This would bo tho Democratic
—it would bo the Kopubliou* me
thod; tho ones now in voguo uro un
democratic, unropubtioan, unworthy
the ropiosoutativos of a froo peoplo,
"Tiio facts uro as stated. Let tho
pross of tho oountry discuss it and
break down thesa despotic methods
in legislation,” ,;
Tho Kepnblican has scon its party
use the despotic powers through its
•Spoakor for fifteen years without a
pvotest. It fools tho woight of the
injustico whotv tho powor ts rricldod
by any other party.
Hut wo arc fur from saying that
there is not sense and wisdom in the
proposition laid down. There is a
radical defect somewhere in the sys
tem which makes it ncccessary for a
representative to pniohaso of the
Speafcet the privilogo of being hoard
upon llio'fiohr of tho House, and
which fhuWit incumbent upon him
to humbly laj liteplans before that*
'officer and obtain his approval be
fore they can bo offered. Tho sur
plus ;icumulation hi tho treasury to
day, which threatens the peace
nude, is a direct result of this evil
No man Could get tho Iloor to offer

Eight years of careful experiment and painstaking research have resulted in tho
discovery of an infallible specific for tho cure and prevention of tho most, fatal and
dreaded enemy of the feathered tribe—Cholera. After tho fullest and fairest tests
possible, in which every claim for tho remedy was fully substantiated, the remedy
was placed upon the market, and everywhere a single trial lias been all that was re
quired to prove it a complete success. The directions for its use are plain and sim
ple, and the cost of the remedy so small that the saving of a single fowl will repay
tho exbunse. Its effect is almost magical. If the remedy is given as directed, the
course of tho dlaeoso is stopped at once. Given occasionally as a preventive, thore
need be no fear of Cholera, which annually kills more fowls than all other diseases
combiued. If. ts true to name, a Cortaiu Cure for Chicken Cholera. No poultry
raiser or farmer can afford to bo without it. It will do alt that is claimed for it.
