Washington , D. C. Until the
membership of the new llules
Committee of the House of Rep
resentatives has been determined
upon and that Committee acts in
regard to some specific legisla
tion , it will be impossible to de
termine whether the "recent
revolution" was worth while or
not. There seems to be a dis
position on all sides to let the
matter rest now for the present
session , and certainly no faction
or party or individual has cause
to be very jubilant over the out
come. The Democrats simply
played the game and do not seem
to be criticised from any quarter ;
the so-called regulars contended
till the last for party solidarity
while the action of the so-called
insurgents is very hard to an-
aljze. Sonic of these men un-
doubtly thought they were work
ing for and voting for a prin
ciple ; some of them , undoubtlv ;
as was the case of those who re
fused to rejoin the party after
the decisive test concerning the
Gcmtnittee on Rules was over ,
simply showed their spiteful
nature and that their action was
provoked by animo-ity toward
the Speaker himself.
The fart that Mr. Cannon was
rc-r lected Speaker by ten voles
mnrc than he got at the beginn
ing of the contest was certainly
very significant. The uplift
mag.izitus , for reasons best
Itnown to themselves , which have
been cryinjr out against so-called
Cannonism , will get verv little
comfort from the outcome ia
facit , so many and diverse are
the opinions , particularly of the
honest and impartial newspaper
men , that it shows that no de
cisive victory was gained by any
one. If it is true that the old
Committee was dominated by
the Speaker , it will be equally
true that the new Committee
will be dominated by him and
by his friends , and Mr Can
non will continue to wield the
gavel until the end of the foist
Congress.
The fact of the matter is that
the Comittee on Rules is only one
of the 00-odd Cotnittces of the
House , and has really less to do
with legislation than is generally
thought. While it has the
power to be of considerable im
portance , yet this power is rarely
used. Most of the legislation of
the House of Representatives is
carried on without resort to any
action whatever on the part of
this Comittee It is only when
a democratic filibuster is on , ot
when it is necessary to put
through an important bill with
expedition that the power of the
Cornijtee is brought into play.
And while the majority of the
new Comittee will be dominated
as was the old by the so-called
regular organization by thin Con
gress , at least , there will be ap
parently no difference as to the
result of its actions.
There may be developments
during the session that will in
crease or decrease the prospects
of the Republican party , and
there may be influences outside
of either House of Congress
that will also have their beatings
upon the result of the campaign
and elections for instance , the
decisions of the Supreme
Court , particularly upon the cor-
slitutionality of the corporation
t x and the legality of the .Stand
ard Oil Company and the Ameri
can Tobacco Company , may all
have their effort upon the minds
of the people and weaken cr
strengthen the Republican pos
itions , according to how the de
cisions may strike the people.
