We hare bad an idea for sometime that the speaker of the house possessed just a little too much power for one man to have; and that the fate of many a good and mer-' itorious bill might be knocked in the head by the speaker if it did not suit himself or his friends. Furthermore the great middle west that feeds the nation was tired of having Little Rhode Island, not as big as our coun ty, dictate what it should do. They had done it until the joke was galling It was bound to be a real storm that broke, and it came and as a thunder storm clears the air of obnoxious gases so the political Blorm caused by the insurgent, acted in the same way New leaders more in harmony with the spirit of the times will now step in and assume the leadership and the great big golden west will be heard from whenever needed in the future and don't let it escape you.
