Speaker Reed was reelected to Congress
on Monday as was expected. 1t is charged
that it was by discreditable means. The

"Mr. Reed has found way to count a
quorum in Congress when none existed,
and his party workers may have discovered
a way to produce an apparent majority for
him in bis district"

ANOTHER DEMOCRAT UNsEATED.-Mr.
C. R. Breckenridge, of Arkansas, was un.
seated Friday. This conclusion has been
expected ever since it was decided that it
would pay the dominant party to pass a
force bill. As in two many other cases of
the kind during this session, party exigen-
cies rather than credible testimony prob
ably decided the event. But as Mr.. Brock
inridge said in his parting speech, the peo-
pie of Arkansas will at the first opportunity
reverse the decision of the House by send
ing him back to it.

ton at least ten days before the adjourn
meet.

SECTIONAL LEaIsLATIoN.-In the, Senate
on last Thursday, by vote of "a to "a the
finance committee received its first defeat
since the consideration of the tariff bill be-
gan, and binding Irvine is placed upon the
free list. Just after that the boiling repub-
licans scampered back to their party lines
and voted to increase the duty or cotton
bagging. Binding Irvine is used principal
ly by Western farmers in binding up their
wheat. The republican Senators from the
West induced the democrats to vote with
them on Irvine, but when they were asked
to reciprocate with regard to cotton bag
ging, which is used almost exclusively in
the Southern States, the party whip was
cracked and solid republican vote was re-
corded against free cotton bagging. Sena-
tor Vance, referring to this incident, says
it shows the pending bill to be a sectional
measure, and that the Southern States are
getting the worst of it right along.

Senator Sherman says "the argument
for absolute free trade with Canada is as
strong as it is for free trade between the
States of the Union''
No one doubts the benefits of free trade
between the States, SO that Sherman could
not express in stronger language his idea
that we should have "absolute free trade
with Canada What is the matter with
Sherman and other heretofore leading high
tariff Republicans?
Are they becoming ee.traders, what
they have falsely denounced Democratic
tariff-reformers with being? They are in
advance Of the Democrats on the question
of free trade. Both the Democratic and
Republican parties have pledged themselves
to tariff, reform, by which the Democrats
mean reduction of tariff duties, and the
Republicans an increase of duties las Shown
by the Mckinley bill. The 1eform the
Democrats advocate is reduction of Fed
eral taxes, and the reform the Republican
advocate is an increase of Federal taxes
quite an important difference.

better prices would be realized for the in

Arrest OF Supposed Train. Wreckers.

A dispatch from Albany, N. Y, says
that John Herman, West Albany freight
brakeman, and John Cordial, a freight
conductor, were arrested Monday on the
charge Of completely in the wreck on the
New York Central Railroad on Thursday
night last. 1t is surmised that John Reed,
who was arrested Sunday, gave informa-
ton upon which the two men were ar
rested Monday.
A dispatch from Poughkeepsie, N. Y,
says an attempt was made on Monday
night to wreck the St. Louis and Chicago
Express which leaves New York on the
Central line at p. M.
When the Aagman discovered and at
tempted to remove the obstruction, he was
fired upon, when he went in the direction
of the coming train and sot the danger
signal which stopped the train. The flag
man said the ties protruded above the rails
and would have certainly thrown the train
from the track. The fast train was com.
posed OF seven or eight sleeping cars, all full
OF passengers, two ordinary passenger
coaches and a baggage car. There were
eight ties on the up main track. There
were also two ties placed alongside of the
rail toward the south, so as to ditch the
train.

SILENCE THE CONFESSION OF GUILT.
His silence, under such circumstances, is
the confession of guilt. An honorable man
does not long daily when his honor is as
sailed. He has delayed too long to justify
convicted criminal before the bar of public
opinion. Under such circumstances he
should be driven from the head of party
whose very life his presence impsrils. The
republican party has done enough for its
pretended leader. Let him be relegated to
the rear. 1t is no longer a question of his
vindication; it is now question of the life
of the party ITSELF"
