The Leader of the House.
Pittsburg Paper Looking to Maine for
Him.
Especial to the Commercial Gazettel

Especial to the Commercial Gazette.]
The fact that the Republicans in the House
are still without recognized leader is a matter
of no small concern in view of the approaching
contest over the Tariff Commission bill. A
popular leader is always highly advantageous
to party, and particularly SO when there is
but small and uncertain majority. Mr.. Kas-
son of Iowa, was generally regarded as the one
most likely to develop into leader, but there
seems to be lack of confidence in him which
operates against his procuring that following
which is essential to successful leadership.
He has long experience and decided ability as
a parliamentarjan, hut he is not regarded as In
entire accord with his party on all questions,
and the fear that he might lead them astray
will prevent a number of the members from
giving him their confidence.
Mr.. Robson of New Jersey, has some of the
elements of leadership, but falls so far short in
others that he will not attain to that distinc-
tion. He is not as alert and wary as Kasson,
and does not possess that degree OF popularity
which is essential to sway the vote of his
party. His abilities as speaker and his stead
fastness as Republican are not questioned,
but still he has failed to attract any considera-
BILE number of followers. Neither he nor Kas-
son are lacking in that general respect and in
fluence to which their peculiar abilities entitle
rise to the height of leadership.
Mr.. Reed of Maine is, in the opinion of not
few members, the coming man, and will moro
nearly approach the standard of Blame or Gar
field than any other member of the House.
He is forcible and earnest speaker, fair par
liamentaran, and never fails to command at
tention when he addresses the House. He
always speaks to the point, never speaks for
the sake of talking, and quits when he has
fully presented his argument He has good
deal of personal magnetism, is affable and
courteous, and is rapidly growing in the esteem
and confidence of his fellow Republicans. He
is ten years younger than Robson aud four
teen years the junior of Kasson, having just
turned forty-three While it is true that lead
ers cannot be made to order, but must obey the
laws of natural development, still some grow
with much greater rapidity than others, and
Mr. Reed seems to belong to this class. It
would not be surprising, therefore, il another
son of Maine should achieve the distinction of
leader of the House.

Domestic accidents are common to women, and
some of them are very serious. Mrs. Warner, of
South Rondout, Ulster Co., N. Y, some weeks ago
attempted to take from her child pair of shears
with which it was playing. A slight struggle en-
sued in which the point of the shears entered Mrs.
Warmers left eye, entirely destroying the sight.
Her family physician di what he could but intense

threatened the loss of the other eye. Total Blind

an rr etrievable calamity, In this strait Mrs. w
applied to the well-known and skilfal Surgeon, Dr.
Dapid Kennedy of Rondout, N. Y, who removed
the injured eye by very successful operation, set
ting aside all danger of further harm to the sight of
the other eye, but. owing to pain and mental dis

A QUESTION is raised about the citizenship
of Mayor Grace of New York. He came to
this country when fifteen years of age, and
in 1867 took out naturalization papers upon
the declaration that he had been five years
in this country, when in fact most of that
period had been passed in South America,
where he had large business interests. His
friends, fearing that such naturalization
was not valid, had him take out new papers
the day before he was elected mayor, using
the former ones as a legal declaration of his
purpose to become citizen. 1t is doubted
if he is now properly naturalized.

IT is much to be regretted that Governor
Plaisted could rot be induced to nominate
Mrs. Sampson for the Registry of Deeds OF
Sagadahoc County. 1t was the place which
she desired, and which she ought to have,
for she deserves well of her countrymen for
the sake of the good things she has done
herself and for the memory of her soldier
husband. The Council expressed their will
ingness, and even eagerness, to confirm her
for the Registry, but Gov. Plaisted saw fit to
refuse this and to name her for place to
which the Council could not consent with
out abandoning the principle for which they
had been contending for more than year,
and to which the Supreme Court had given
judicial sanction. We hope that the Cover
nor will appoint her to the Registry or to
some other good post which it will be posi-
BILE for the Council to sanction.

The restrictions in regard to the importa-
tion of American meats have been largely
withdrawn at foreign ports. The people
would have American meats, and showed a
marked preference for American prices.
The dangers from trichina, etc., we're no
doubt largely exaggerated, and it is probably
the case that American pork and lard are
greatly superior to any articles of the sort
