A Big Currant Bush.

Perhaps the most wonderful currant bush ever seen is owned by R. Lonnen, of Mayville, N. J. He found the bush growing wild in the woods, took 1t home and planted it by the side of the house. The bush has grown up the side of the building to height of about twenty feet, and is about seven feet wide, bearing entrants as large as an ordinary cherry.

extreme opponents of Speaker Reed are
compelled to acknowledge his capacity to
lead his party. But few presiding officers
have been called on to face critical positions
IN such numbers as has Reed since his eleva-
ton to the Speakership aud iu every in
occasion; and has carried his party over the
threatening breakers. On the organization
OF the House on the tariff bill, on the silver
legislation, and in the federal election con-
test ne has gone to the trent when the
chances for defeat seemed more than equal,
and each instance he has witnessed Repub-
llcan success on the floor of the House.
AS before indicated, there are many influ-
entail Republicans who do not agree with
the Speaker as to the wisdom of certain leg
islatlon, but at the same time they admire

conditions within his own party with which

an injustice TO the Democratic leaders on the
floor OF the House. There are beyond CUES
ton great many Republican members of
congress who differ with the Speaker as to
the policy OF passing certain laws. but by
reason VI his aggressiveness and confidence
In his course they have deferred to MS Judg-
ment and assisted him in legislation.
Aside from the hesitation within his own
party lines, the Speaker has had to contend
with shrewd and experienced leadership on
the Democratic side of the House. On the
fe eral elections bill this feature was parti
eu'arly noticeable. Representative Hemp
hill made record all through the struggle.
which cannot help but win for him The
plandlts OF his party. He was alert, and
TOOK advantage Of every opportunity, retain
Ing a calm, dispasSionate exterior, which
gave his party associates confidence. and
won for him the respect of his opponents.
But against all these odds the tact and per-
severance of the Speaker prevailed. If any
further demonstration of his ability to lead
his party associates was required, Mr..
Reed has furnished it since his elevation to
the Speakership. The Speaker is a leader
In every sense Of the word.

Mr.. Pattison whom the Democrats have
nominated for governor of Pennsylvania
was elected to that office some years ago
owing to the decentralization existing among
the Republicans at that time. This year ciI-
cumstances are different. Though there was
a spirited contest for the Republican nomin-
ltion, the result was generally accepted by
the party and there are no signs of any con-
siderable detection. Pattison to be elected
must get large number of Republican votes.
for the Democratic party of Pennsylvania in
straight contest is generally showed under
by from 10000 to 10000 votes. That Patti
son can draw off enough Republicans this
year to overcome this majority is exceeding
iy improbable.

The Democrats of Bangor and Belfast
have no doubt been greatly inspirted by the
license resolution adopted by the second
state convention, and no doubt will poll
their full strength at the September election.
But while Bangor and Belfast and some
other cities have been inspirited by the con-
vention's action, it is safe to say that the
back towns have been dispirited, so that the
net result Of the resolution will be more like
ly to be loss than gain.

1t appears that the second platform of the
Democracy has been reported incorrectly, as
was the case with the first one. The Bangor
COmerclal asserts that no resolution commit
ting the party to license in case
the prohibition amendment was re-
pealed was adopted. The Commercial
thinks that 1t will be time enough
to decide by what system of taxation and re-
gulation the liquor traffic can best be dealt
with after the amendment is repealed. We
quite agree with the Commercial that there
is no need of the gentlemen who have started
the crusade against prohibition racking
there brains at present for a substitute to
take its place, neither is there likely to be
for many years to come.
