THE POST. I«*ak- j * ipcd j vm.ii*. i.!i \) .H’n:: ! : J. A. PEACOCK Cclltor. ii w Ill '81® in : *.YT 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 h motion to repeal a park of tho lu tonml Rovouue lux, oven after 30- curliu’ by purchase from tho Speak cr himself the privilege. And a ms jority of tho House and Senate ware in favor of such roptak lit this in stance, therefore, the defective sys tem not only defeated the public .. ... will, but put a vtain upon llm S .1 li fu-idr w mu li r m never be tWii;.".

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. For Salo By ‘ H. IIIOKS & GO., J. T. SMITH and W, F.
