CURRENT COMMENT,
MIR. REEDS GREAT STRENGTH.


They are all afraid of him. 1t is evidence
OF the great strength of MIR. Reeds canvass
Tor the Speakership OF the House of Repre-
sentatives that the other candidates are cast
Ing about for means of strengthening the op-
position to him, without the least prospect
OF being able to concentrate their forces in
behalf IT any one of their own number. II
Is apparent that the second choice of their
supporters is more likely to be Reed than
any one else, and with division among So
many candidates, and with one distinctly in
the lead. 1t is the second choice that is likely
to decide the contest Some of the support
ers of Henderson, Cannon and Burrows NAV
pc more favorable to Mckinley than to Reed.
followers are more likely to go to Reed than
TO any OF the other three On the other
hand. the supporters of Reed seem to have
no second choice. The contest is Conducted
In very gentlemanly manner ON ali sides

SO far there are no indications that the
effort to solidify the West against Mr.. Reed
has made any appreciable progress. As well
as can be discerned from this distance the
attempt to inject sectional feeling into the
contest has been a failure. One reason is,
perhaps, that what we are accustomed TO
speak of as the West is by no means homo
geneous group OF States with identical inter-
ests OF course they have some interests in
common. They are all chiefly agricultural
States, but in other directions their interests
are far from identical. In the matter of
transportation to the seaboard, for instance,
the interests of the Northwest and centra
West are almost hostile. Minnesota and New
England are much nearer together on this
matter than Minnesota and Illinois; and an
alliance between the Northwest and New
england today would be more acceptable to
the public sentiment of the former than an
alliance with the central West. But In this
speakersLip contest there is no occasion for
sectional feeling. Mr.. Reed has been the
leader of the Republican majority for two
Congresses, and has had very Influential
voice in determining the attitude of the
party on economical matters. There has
never been an intimation that his leadership
was in any way inimical to Western inter-
ests or that his policy was sectional. Such
being the case the insinuation that his eleva-
ton to the Speakership would unfavorably
| affect Western intetests can hardly make any
impression.

1t seems that the Brazilian government has
not proclaimed universal suffrage, as first
reported, but has imposed an educational
qualification. Persons who cannot read or
write are not to be allowed. to vote. Proba-
Dly this condition will exclude about as many
and about the same persons tina the property
qualification under the empire did. In view
Of the condition of large part of the people
OF the country this restriction the suffrage
