GEMS FROM REEDS SPEECH.
Revenue Reformers and the Down frod-
den Rich Farmer ofthe Broad West

Monopoly said Horace Greedy, a
the Democratic party for the Presidency
monopoly Is perhaps, the most per-
verted and misapplied word in our much
abused mother tongue" How very lame
this language Is. suppose that during
the ten years last past have listened in
this hall to more idiotic raving, more pes
tiferous rant on that subject than on all
the others put together. And yet do
not regret it. What beautiful sight it is
to see the revenue reform orator go into
action against monopoly. Nelson. as he
stood blazing with decorations on the
decks Of the Victory on the fatal day Of
Trafalgar; Napoleon at Friedland, as the
Guard went cheering and charging by:
Thomas sayers, as he stripped for the
championship Of England, when Heenan
had crossed the lifting waters, the eagle
soaring to his eyre the royal man eating
Bengal tiger in his native Jungle; nay, the
very bull himself, the strong bull of Bash
an, as he uplifts his below over the
rocky deserts Of Palestine, are all but pale
reminders Of one Of these majestic crea-
| lures.
| But If the revenue reform orator on the
monopoly is terrible, like an army with
banners, there is "A theme on which he can

ten years ago. TO me, innocent, untravel-
ed, it seemed as if the Western farmer was
the most woe begone, down trodden, luck
less, unsuccessful, dispirited devil on the
face OF the earth. The Eastern vampire

down his fences and scattered his sub

ishment, who had never seen ten acres

great staple stretching way out to the
horizons edge, to see tracts of land winch

acre of it in Maine we would have sold it

that we did not do it more thoroughly.
The cleaning looks bigger than the har-

Western congressman were great orators
and did this for practice. Since then
have not been so much moved by it.

number of miners in Western Pennsylvania

he paid his miners only "A cents per ton for
mining coal, when all surrounding operators
paid 70 cents. Thus, whatever may be the
amount of coal mined for Mr. Scott, it may
be 1000 tons per day, during last year he
pinched cents per ton from every man and
boy in his employ before it was received.
There was 500 per day in that item alone.

MR.. BLAINE ENJOYING PARIS
His Health Perfect and His Travels Civ
ing Him Pleasure and Instruction
His Denial That He Has Instigatet
Any Newspaper References to Him
self Since He Has Been in Europe

Blakely Hall, the special correspondent of
the New York Sun, cables his paper from
Paris as follows Il met Mr.. Blaine in his
apartments at the Hotel Binda to-day, and in
the course of the talk that followed l was
convinced of the sheer and unmitigated falsity
of the remarkable series of petty lies that
have been set afioat about his health.
On the first day of my arrival in Paris l
saw Dr. G. c. Daboll, of IA Avenue de
rOpera, who, in company with all the other
Americans in Paris, talks about Mr.. Blaine
morning moon, and night. My windows,
said DIR. Daboll, overlook the Hotel Binds,
and am able to tell you from personal OBJ
servations that all the talk about Mr.. Blaine s
feebleness is bosh of the most transcendent
description. Every morning. while l am
still at my window shaving and getting ready
for the day, see him start out from the
hotel for his morning walk He moves like
a man of 90 years, with his head erect his
shoulders thrown back, and as he still retains
q remarkably neat figure he presents the look
of, and undoubtedly is, a perfectly healthy
man. He has a free and powerful walk, such
as any doctor in the world knows from a
glance is inconsistent with the maladies from
which it is alleged Mr.. Blaine suffers.
IL had seen him at frequent intervals
during the past eight years, notably during
the presidential campaign of 1884. The last
time saw him in New York was about two
months before he sailed for Europe. He
was then more or less run down by overwork
and show ed the effects of it,
He Is ESJorISe LIFE.
found him standing near one of the big
windows amusedly watching street incident
on the sunlit Avenue del Opera below.
Speaking of the interviews that had been
published with him Mr.. Blaine said that
since he had been in Europe he had not
authorized or instigated, even in the most
remote way, any newspaper reference to
himself. He had made up his mind at the
outset to keep resolutely out of the papers
as far rs his own efforts could conduce to
that end, and this resolve he had kept and
would continue to keep. Chasing . lie, he
had learned, was . stern chase throughout,
No matter how fast the truth pursued, the
lie was always ahead. Mr.. Blaine's intention
is to stay on this side until possibly the mid
die of July.

The Bddeford Daily Standard relates the
following ingenius method which a widow
woman in that city who has six small
children, adopted to overcome the usual
objections of the land lord against young
people,
Every house owner knows that children
do not improve the interior appearance of a
house, and this lady, being obliged to leave
her tenement, found it extremely difficult to
get another, for being obliged to say that
she had large family of children, each
householder refused to talk with her. At
last she resolved upon desperate plan. She
had come across a very desirable tenement
on Beach street so taking her six little ones
into Laural Hill cemetery she gave them
orders not to leave it for an hour She then
sought the owner of the house to hire it.
Have you any children Madam" asked
the owner.
Eyes sir, handkerchief to her eyes,
but they are all in the cemetery the lady
answered.
She got the tenement and the children
were resurrected.

A BraWny Girl.

This morning at an early hour
when Luna was in the western sky,
the general frequenters of the coffee
stands were imbibing their morning
refreshments, the show and dance of
the theatre had just come to a
close. One of the workers with her
escort had just seated themselves for
a cup of coffee. Another man who
had been imbibing freely of other
drinks than coffee, went to the couple
and it is presumable that he said
something not very palatable to the
parties, for in an instant the girl got
up and in connection with words, not
found in the dictionary, and more
forcible than polite, gave monsieur a
good pushing, and he, in his inebriate
condition, trying to support himself,
got all the chairs down, when another
push and stumble over the chairs
brought him in contact with the hard
flags, face down, blood flowed profuse-
ly from wound on the forehead and
a muchly bruised up nose. Monsieur
was taken to his room where he now
studies over the fallacies of human

MIR. Cleveland's Chinese Record.

san francisco FOst.
The bold attempt of Mr.. Cleveland
to nulify the Chinese Restriction act,
first by Mr.. Bayard's orders to Con-
suls to issue certificates to Chinese,
and then by trying to secure the pas
sage of consular certificate law by
Congress, makes it difficult to claim
all the anti-Chinese virtues for the
democratic party. Mr.. Bayard was in
formed by Consul Mostly ON May 10,
1885, that counsular certificates were
illegal. Three months later Mr.. Mos
by's successor, one Withers, was Or
dered by Mr.. Bayard toissue the certi-
ficates from Hong Kong and it was not
until February, 1886, that Congress
man Morrow, backed by the protests
of the Pacific coast, succeeded in get
ting the order withdrawn, and it was
on April 6, 1886, that President Cleve-
land appealed to congress to make
consular certificates legal. These are
facts of official record, and any voter
may verify them for himself. The adj
ministration that dismissed Col.
Mostly from the Hong Kong consulate
for characterization at the demand
of the Chinese, because he would not
violate the restriction act, will have
serious difficulty in posing as a foe of
the cOolie.
