man strangers first want pointed out to them
from the galleries. His wit is seldom amiable
and his satire is biting. Few men on the
other side have the hardihood to provoke him
to a tilt, and the one who dares is usually sorry
Tor 1t afterward. As leader of the republicans
In the last House he made enemies by the free
use OF his favorite weapon, leaving stings that
ranked In the flesh, but these enemies are not
OF the party that will elect the next Speaker.
his campaign will probably differ widely from
that conducted by the other candidates. If
there Is any Establishment and diplomacy in ii,
1t will not be like Tom Reed. He will be more
apt to demand the support Of his colleagues
than to plead for it. Perhaps his greatest dan
ger Is that he may offend some of the new men,
bers by his independence during the canvass.
IL ne had to meet his rivals in joint debate
there would be no doubt about the result. He
would unhorse them all. He got to be leader
OF his party in the House not because they all
loved him and freely yielded him the honor,
but because no one else could stand when he
wanted the floor. During the Forty-eighth
Congress he had to unhorse Frank Hiscock to
take the lead, and it was pretty sharp rivalry
between them. After that no one disputed his
leadership, until just at the close of the Fiftieth
Congress. when it was seen that a speakership
prize would be awarded by the republican party
to their leader in the Fifty-first Congress-
Reed was the caucus nominee and got the
complimentary vote for Speaker at the begin
ming Of the Forty-ninth Congress, and it was
only during his absence, or when his attention
was distracted, that his New York ex-rival came
to the front. Again, at the opening of the
Fhtieth Congress. Reed got the Complimentary
vote OF his party, and throughout the long
tariff debate he poured the vials of wrath upon
the heads Of Mills and the other tariff re-
formers. Once only was he seriously discom-
fitted. and that was by a member of his own
party, when he and Ben. Butterworth had
tilt. They are not the best of friends, and
once Butterworth silenced him in debate
Toward the close of the session Cannon, Nc
klnley and Burrows began an open rivalry
with the Maine man and a very interesting
friendly contest began, which viii end only
when the new Speaker is elected. Reed has no
gentle speech nor winning ways. His campaign
will be a serious one from start to finish. He is
no parllamentarlan. as Burrows is. Only once
does the writer remember to have seen him in
the chair, and then there was deal of romping
in the House which he found it hard to check
IL he Is elected Speaker he will not have any
friendly assistance from the democrats and ne
will probably not try especially to please them.
Now, Burrows Is the blandest and most diplo-
matte man in the House. He is student of
parliamentary law and diplomacy He has the

fire; not needing to be destroyed; not thistle
like in spirit, but helpful cheerful; not like
the misrule, tyranny and injustice of the So
called rule of wicked men (BeliaIites or
worthless fellows).
z. Suggestions.
1. Rulers should be just, and rule in the fear
of God.
2. Believe the Bible, and find comfort in ii
as product Of the Holy Spirit Often read
the Psalms.
3. Fear God; obey him 50 love him as to be
afraid to offend him.
4. God elevates the poor and humble. We
recall the case of Mary the Mother of our
Savior's humanity. Many young men in our
day are in tho way toward prominence. A
goodly number of our greatest men were Of
humble origin. The names of Lincoln, Wilson,
Fillmore occur. The famous Bishop Prideaux
when o student worked in the kitchen of
Exeter College, Oxford. The learned John
Kits bad q most humble origin, and with rea-
son chose for the motto of his seal, I" Per
Ardua," meaning through severe struggles
comes success.
5. Attach value TO the last words. We have
in the Bible last words of Jacob, Moses Joshua,
David. And we shall never forget Chrst's last
words.

Tho aiountaIn Meadow Massacre.

Miles w. Buck, Fifer, Co. T., 18th u. g., w.
rome. Pa, says that there must be some nj stake
in regard TO COmrade f. q. Bartlett, whose
obituary notice recently appeared in this paper,
being one Of the survivors of the Mountain
Meadow massacre. The comrade could not
have been one Of that ilfatcd party, AS only
four children were spared. aud two of those
were murdered few years later for showing
signs Of remembering the affair The other
two remembered it, and this was the cause of
John d. Lee who was in command Of the Nor
mon troops ut the massacre, being put to death.
Comrads Bartlett was no doubt one of Ere.
mOnt's party, who buried the remains shortly
after. During 1874, rs. the writer was stationed
at Camp Cameron, Utah, where Maj. Lee, the
Mormon leader, WAS prisoner for this ofIense.
In conversation Lee told the comrade that
he (Lce) was forced to do what he did, being
under cath as a member of the Endowment
House. The writer says this correction Ia not
to take one iota Of honor from his deceased
comrade, as tho bravery Of the Fremont com.
mand was UNREASONABLE.

-Four huttoned gloves of either dressed or
undressed kid are worn with walking cos
tunes. They are made with drawn seams"
Capped and sewed through and through. and
have Paris points like cords slightly stitch
ed, instead of broad rows of stitching on the

for buttons; these are of heavy Suede leather
or kid, either gray tan or black, tan being
most used Some new gloves for very cold

a thorough knowledge of two elements Is
necessary in order to make q map, with q
view to an accurate determination Of the
positions Of places. These elements are lati-
tude or distance from the equator, and lougi-
tude or distance east or west Of the meridian

Of a cantilever bridge is this: Take two Sec
saws and place them i'll line, so that the
ends of the two balanced boards shall be some
distance apart; weight the outer ends, and
lay a board between the inner ends Now, if
you've anchored the outer ends securely, YOU
