TV ASIIINGTON LETTER;
Proa tar - leg-alar Correspondent
Gag lnnr is to ruin t h o
House again and, iHeas prea
ent indications are at fnult,
the MifKinley gag s ' k v ;o
be even tvorse tlimi the Reed
gag. All th piVi-i v lallc about
changing tli House rules in
the interest of more liberties
for individual members, has
been hushed up in the appli
cation of the gag.even before
the House assembles. Even
Henhurn, of Iowa, who defied
Reed in the last House and
made a iavageattaek on the
injustices of the rules which
made a tyrant of the speak
er, has allowed himself to be
gHgged and has acquiesced
in the program which in
cludes a readoption of the
Reed rules without any chan
ges that will, lessen the spea
ker's authority over legisla
tion. The order for the re-a
doption of the Reed rules
enme from Mr. McKinlej who
feared that without them, he
would be unable to jam some
of the legislation he will ask
for through the House, with
its narrow republican major
ity. According to present plans
the gag rule is also to be ap
plied to the gold standard
bill prepared by the House re
publican caucus committee,
which is now being consider
ed by the republican mem
bers of the Senate Finance
Committee, who for somerea
son persist in withholding
their endorsement of . it. In
stead of having the bill fol
lowing the usual routine of
being referred to the commit
tee, it has been decided to
have it endorsed by the re
publican caucus when it meets
to nominatt House officers
and ordered passed by the
majority of the House.
At the last meeting of the
Washington Antii-Imperial-
ist League, a r?solution was
nnammously adopted, call
ing attention to the atten
tion to the anniversaries of
the death and birth of Geo.
Washington Dec. 14, and
Feb. 22nd the trend toward
imperialism on the part of
the successor, now in office,
in direct contradiction to the
leosons taught by the life and
laid down by the farewell ad
dress of Washington, a.nd
the necessity of keeping the
life of Washington as a bea
con light before his country
men. As one of the ways of
doing this, the league offered
a prize of f 10, for the best es
say, to be written by a school

Representative DeArmond,
one of tha candidates for the
democratic leadership of the
House, has very positive o
pmions as to the policy r that
should be followed by t he
democrats of the House, du
ring the present session of
Congress, He thinks the dem
ocrats should be aggressive
from start to finish in, order
to place the republicans on
the defensive and exp06e
their weak spots to the coun
try; that they should put
themselves on record as fa
voiirig the withdrawal of U.
- .'-.;,; r v.-V
S. authority from- the Philip
pines, and the establishment
of an independent govern
ment by the Filipinos; that
they should advocate the re-
tarn to the Cubans of their
own theirs not odly by nat
ural right, but by thesolemn
promise and declaration of
Congress at the. opening of
the war with Spain; that
they should make plain to
the count rj that the admin
istration party is the protec
tor, as in a large degree it is
the ereator of trusts; that
they should ;vigoroubly op
posejlhe enactment of gold
standard legislation, if the
majority dares to attempt
to carry out plans which the
money kings are trying to
compel them to accept; that
they should oppose tu crea
tion of a large standing ar
my as one of the methods of
cripplingimperialism if it can
not be headed off, and that
they should ruthlessly eipose
t,he steadily growing eztrav
agance in public expenditures
and the unequal burden of
Federal taxation borne by
the poor. Of the coming ses
eion of Congress Judge De
Armond said: ''It promises
to be an important and fur
reaching one. It will not be
surprising if its influence up
on the approaching national
election should be great, if
not controlling."
Rep. Ball, of Texas, who is
a supporter of Rep. Bank
bead for the democratic lead
ership of the House says that
while the contest is spirited,
it is being conducted in such
afriendly way that no wounds
will be left at its close to mar
democratic harmony, and
that as yet no candidate has
enough votes pledged to win.
Mr. Ball says the talk of a
dendlock in the interest of re
electing Mr. Bailey leader, is
arrant nonsense; that Mr.
Baily always makes an open
fight or none, and that he
meant exactly what he said,
when he announced at t h e
last session of Congress that
he would not again be a can
did ate.
