Onr REPRESENTATIVE.

The First District of Maine has reason to
feel the greatest pride and satisfaction in its
representation in Congress. Mr.. Reed has
achieved within the limits of his first session
one of the most notable successes in all par
liamentary history. 1t is rare that men,
ber secures even hearing at his first ses-
sion. Mr.. Reed has secured hearing not
only by the House of Representatives but
by the whole country. In his first session,
in body controlled by his political opponents,
he has attained already national reputa-
ton of high order. His very first words of
brilliant sarcasm directed at the virtuous Fer
nando Wood attracted marked attention.
His elegant, tasteful and scholarly remarks
on the presentation of the King statue met
with deserved favor and approval. His great
speech on the William and Mary College bill
proved the death blow to that claim and to
the great mass of Southern claims Of which
that was to be the precursor and precedent.
He uttered the brave, strong and sensible
words which were needed to open
the eyes of the nation to what threat
ened the public welfare and prosper
ity. The movement upon the national
treasury which seemed well nigh irresistible,
pushed on as it was by the resolute greed of
the whole South, supplemented by the mawk-
ish sentimentality of some Northern mem
he thrust back with powerful hand, and gave
notice to the Southerners that, so long as
such men as he had place at Washington,
their schemes could not thrive. And now,
placed in the important and responsible posi-
ton of member of the Potter committee,
he acquits himself with like honor. The
miserable creature, procured by the Demo-
Gratis to smirch the reputation of the Presi-
dent and his associates, fares hard under the
scathing cross-examination of our repre-
sentative. We can feel secure that, with
this able and acute lawyer scrutinizing the
proceedings, no unfair advantage can be
taken without his vehement and effective
protest.
The great advantages of such representa-
tion in Congress are obvious. The District
which sends such a member does large serv'
ice to the nation, and the good OF all is the
good of each. A strong and influential man
can also afford most important service to his
immediate constituents, and Mr.. Reed il
always ready and eager in such service
He starts in mis- public career witt

inence, honor and usefulness. With hi

"The Uery man OF all others aoho has the

mankind, none has been more efectual than
that aohich deludes them avith paper money.
This Is the most efectual Of intentions to fer
