both sides of a question. Slow but

sider the Hon. Payne fit for leader;
just as Mr. Gallinger is leader of the
Republican side of the Senate be
cause his party did not think the
Hon. Penrose fit for leader. Never
theless, if the tariff should again be
paramount, Mr. Fordney, of Michi
gan, will be the Republican leader
the House and Mr. Penrose the
Republican leader of the Senate, for
Mann and Gallinger are not strong
on tariff.
The Republican party has pro
duced such leaders in the House as
Thaddeus Stephens, Robert C.
Schenck, James G. Blaine, James A
Garfield, Nelson Dingley and Thom
as B. Reed all powerful personali
ties and very able men. During
much of the time old Pig Iron Kelley
was the chairman of Ways and
Means, but while the negro question
was on deck, there were a score of
more prominent men on the Repub
lican side of Congress than old Pig
Iron. Ben Butler completely over
shadowed him; so did John A. Lo
gan. Even Colfax was more promi
nent.
In the lofty sense, the greatest
leader of the Senate the Republican
party ever produced was Fessenden,
of Maine. He it was who defeated
the impeachment of Andy Johnson
and thus save his country from a
great calamity. After his death
Morrill and Sherman dominated the
finance committee until Aldrich got
safe in the saddle; but during all the
years reconstruction was on the
hooks Morton, Sumner, Conkling,
Carpenter, Trumbull, Edmunds and
Hoar were the real leaders of the
Senate.
Congressional leadership in the
United States is not what parliamen
tary leadership is in England. With
us every fellow who can deliver the
brains is leader, especially if he can
throw in the tongue with the brajns.
When Hon. John G. Carlisle rose the
first time in the House of the Forty-
fifth Congress to address the com
mittee of the whole, he was un
niiuvtu. it was a sirange lace, a
new voice; but he had not spdken. a
quarter of an hour before Congress
recognized him as the first mind
then in public life and he remained
leader for about twenty years. Had
he been gifted with the powerful
will and tremendous moral force of
Tom Reed, or Grover Cleveland, what
leader he would have been! Bat
Carlisle was nothing but logic. He
had no fire. He hated controversy.
He dreaded to make a speech. His
real place was Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, for he was not only
the greatest lawyer of his day, but
as honest as he was clear-headed.
The Republicans are boasting of
the terrible things Mr. Mann is go
ng to do with Mr. Kitchin. We
halj see. Claude can beat him to
death with a game of eloquence; but
the eloquence does not go as far as
did when Henry Winter Davis was
holy terror in Congress. Congress
has got to be upstart enough to de
mand food for thought rather than
pleasant sounds for the ear.
It will not be many moons
until
Congress will be in session and then
let the wool-pulling begin. There is
WHO MAY TRY CAUSES.
All proceedings in ouster shall be
summary and triable as an equitable
action, and Criminal, Circuit and
Chancery Courts have full Jurisdic
tion and power of courts of equity.
The defendant has 20 days to an
swer, and the petition and answer
shall constitute the only pleadings.
Upon filing the petition the prose
cutors issue subpoenas to witnesses
who appear before the- prosecutors
as in the taking of depositions in an
equity cause. All petitions, unless
filed by the State, district, county
or city attorneys, must be verified
by oath, and defendant's answer
must be on oath. Either party may
appeal from the Judgment, but such
appeal will not vacate the judgment.
If, upon final determination in' the
Supreme Court, an ouster decree is
reversed, the defendant is restored
to the office and the salary. Actions
against delinquent officials have pre
cedence over all civil and criminal
cases in the court below, and appeals
have precedence over all cases in the
Supreme Court.
Defendants, pending final adjudi
cation of ouster proceedings against
them, cannot be susDended from of
fice uatil given five days in which
to appear before the court in which
proceedings are pending.
Writ of ouster issued upon final
hearing disqualifies the officer ousted
from holding office again for a
pexiod of 1ft years.

Mayfield was fined $100.
