Mr.. Hewitps tariff bill ha. two distinct
objects in view. The first part of it con-
tains series of provisions based on the
recommendations of the Secretary of the
Treasury with respect to the construction of
the present tariff Law, the object of which is
to simplify the administration of the law.
The latter part of the bill proposes reduc-
tion of revenue by putting on the free list
all the articles that were placed there by
Morrison's bill and few Others There are
provisions also which reduce the tax on GER
tain articles. 1t is estimated that the reduc-
tions provided for in this bill would amount
to $6O,000,000. So much of the bill as re-
lates to the .simplifcation of the administra-
ton of the tariff law will very likely be
adopted, but the portion that changes the
tariff is pretty likely to be stricken out. 1t
is hardly possible that the House will under
take TO tinker the tariff again this session,

Mr.. Reed.

The first caucus in this district TO choose
delegates to the district convention was held
In The town of Eliot in FORK County last
Saturday evening. Delegates favorable to
the denomination Of Mr.. Reed were chosen
and resolution urging his denomination
was unanimously adopted. So 1t will be, for
substance, in nearly every town in the Dis
trict. The ability and fidelity of his service
In Congress, the national distinction he has
won as leader of the Republicans in their
struggles there, and his efficient advocacy of
the interests of the people of this district on
every occasion when they have been assailed
unite TO convince all earnest Republicans
that it would be a great mistake to SUPER
eede Mr.. Reed at this time.
The only hostility to Mr.. Reed grows out
of an opinion that he has not always shown
the wisest judgment when called upon to
advise appointments to Office. So far as this
opposition is an ebullition of personal disap-
pointment 1t will meet with little sympathy.
If in one or Two instances mistake has
been made through too confident reliance on
the judgment of others, while there may be
occasion for regret, there is no reasonable
ground for harsh and inconsiderate con-
domination. No man can be expected to
make no mistakes in matters of this kind
and probably Mr.. Reed has made as few as
anyone would have done, or any successor
will do, while Congressman are required to
decide between the claims and recommen-
dations of those seeking office. But this is
but the least part of Congressmau's duty
although no doubt it is often the most vexa-
tious.
In the performance of his larger duty as
representative of the interests and sentiment
of the people Of this district, aud an advc-

According to the Pope's latest encyclical
letter the Free Masons are the children Of
Satan, who are doing their best to ruin the
Holy Catholic church and who are little
better than secret assassins of everything
which is good. To the ordinary observer,
not gifted with spiritual insight, the Free
Aasoas look like very respectable body of
men, whose chief objects are to promote
friendship and to give charity. Centuries
ago they had political aims. and then the
Pspal denunciation of them was not un-
called for. At tue present time such de-
nuncistiou as Leo XIII. pours out is simply
absurd, at least SO far as it concerns the or
der in this country.

The correspondence between Gen. Butler
and Mr.. George 0. Jones is very edifying.
Mr. Jones asks Gen, Butler if he will accept
the nomination of the Greenback party and
promise not to desert before election. Gen.
Butler retorts through the New York Sun
"who is JonesP" and Jones replies that If
the General was as much of Greenbacker
as he professed to be he would know who
Jones is. At present Jones appears to be a

ty he has been unexceptionably true, cour-
ageous and influential. Without special ia
vor or extraveous advantages he has by in
dustry, talent, and indomitable will fairly
won recognition and confidence as the ablest
Republican leader on the floor of the House
OF Representatives. Throughout the nation
1t would be considered that the party was
deprived of one of its stouiest cham
plons, Who stands in the front line
OF its fighting forces if Mr.. Reed
were defeated. He CALAMITY maintains
In an arena where the weak cannot stand
the prestige of Maine talent for political
leadership, aprestige achieved by a long line
of distinguished and honored statesmen.
For his sterling merit, and abundant sue
cesses he has the respect and the cordial con-
fdence of his constituents. He is Republi-
can by conviction whose fidelity does not de-
pend upon the qualification of his personal
ambition. Nobody suspects that personal
disappointment would swerve him from
steadfast devotion to the Republican cause.
He is not an Argus Republican. No cir
cumstances can be conceived of which would
induce him to treacherously court the SYM
pathies of the enemies of the Republican
party, much less TO help them to a triumph.
He deals with friend and foe squarely He
serves the canse to which he is devoted in
good faith and with noble zeal, and if he
has in him something of the spirit of tie Ro-
man Coriolanus, who
Would not fatter Neptune for his trident
Or Jove for his power to thunder.
He has right, in view of what he has Of
ten accomplished in the fierce conflicts of
the capital, to say, with the same grand hero,
Hyou have writ your annals true, it's there
That, like an eagle in dove-cote,
Fluttered your Volscians in Corioli;
Alone didit.
For these great services to the State, beside
which any errors that have been charged, no
matter how true they may be, are trivial, he
will be renominated and reelected.

Wendell Phillips.
BY NORA PERRY.


[of the following poem, which was recently print
ed in the Congregationalist MIR. Whittier is quoted
by the Boston Advertiser saying Nothing has
been written or said of Wendell Phillips better;
certainly no poem has been SO good as this. 1t is
true, vigorous and discriminating
Along the streets one day with that swift tread
de walked living king-then He is dead,''
The whisper flew from lip to lip, while still
Sounding within our ears, the echoing thrill
OF his magician's voice we seemed to hear
In notes OF melody ring near and clear.
So near, 50 clear, men cried SIT cannot bel
II was but yesterday he spoke to me;
But yesterday we say him move along,
His head above the crowd, swift-paced and strong,
But yesterday his plan and purpose sped;
1t cannot be today that he is dead.'
A moment thus, half dazed men met and spoke,
When first the sudden news upon them broke;
moment more, with sad acceptance turned
To face the bitter truth that they had spurned
Friends said through tears, How empty seems the
town."
And warning critics laid their weapons down.
He had his faults, they said but they were faults
VI head and not of heart his sharp assaults
Flung seeming needless from his quivering bow.
And needless striking either friend or foe
Were launched with eyes that saw not foe or
friend,
But only, shining far, some goal or end
That, comprised once, should bring Gods saving
To purge and purify the human race
The measure that he melted out he took
And blow for blow received without look
Without sign of conscious hurt or hate
To stir the tranquil calmness of his State.
Born on the heights and in the purple bred
He chose to walk the lowly ways instead,
That he might lift the wretched and defend
The rights of those who languished for friend.
So many years he spent in listening
To these sad cries of wrong and suffering
It was not strange, perhaps, he thought the right
Could never live upon the easeful height,
Nor strange indeed, that slow suspicion grew
Against the class whose tyrannies he knew.
But, bitter and unsparing as his speech
He meant alone the evil deed to reach.
No hate of persons winged his fiery shaft
He had no hatred but for cruel craft
And selfish measurements where human Might
Bore down upon the immemorial Right.
Ev'n while he dealt his bitterest blows at power
No bitterness that high heart could devour.
How at the last this great heart conquered all,
We know who watched above his sacred pail
One day living king he faced crowd
OF critic foes over the dead kiug bowed
A throng of friends who yesterday were those
Who thought themselves, and whom the world
thought, foes.
