REED ON THE STUMP.

The Speaker Neglects Public Business for
aPartisan Purpose.
Boston, Sept. 3.-Speaker Reed addressed
large audience tonight at Faneuil hall.
In the course of his speech, he said in part:
It is amusing to note the history Of the
house of representatives and congress, to
see how in detail is carried out this princi-
ple-that when things are to be done the
republican party does them. The great
struggle which has been made by the dem
ocratic representatives for years has been
not to be economical in the
expenditures Of the government. but
to cut down the sum total of
appropriations. They have been striving
in every way to pile up surplus, not mere
ly by taxation, but by parsimony in their
action in tho expenditure of money. So
long as they could point to the ologRing of
business which results from the storing of
money in the treasury, they seemed happy.
but now they are busily engaged in show
ing that the surplus has disappeared. They
are now unable to be contented, either
with a surplus or without one. There
is no doubt but that the expendi.
to approach the receipts, but any man
would make mistake if he believed it was
in any way the result of extravaganza or
carelessness with public money. There
| have been advertisements sent broadcast
of this surplus and every human need and
want has been set together to try to get
money out of the treasury for other than
public purposes. But not one of these
schemes has been successful. All expendi-
ture has been legitimate, lust and
proper. We shall expend nearly
our income. We shall also reduce
taxation to the extent of 100000 IN ad
dition thereto. One great element of ex-
penditure is the pension legislation which
is not understood in New England and the
character of it is not fully appreciated
With us the soldier in comparatively content
with what he has received and what il
promised him in the near future. But in
the west there exists a different feeling
These stories about past surplus have sci
men wild with the idea of service pen
sion, which would bring an emolument
to every man in the service. We have had
to meet not merely the contention of those
who are parsimonious and not willing 10 dc
what was far to the soldier, but those who
wished to do such things as, with the pres.
emit revenues of the government, are impos
sible without bankruptcy and ruin. The
| republican party grapples with the question
| and solves it with that measure of justic.
which is satisfactory to the whole people o.
the country. So have We met all such ques
| tions."

Bankers in Conference,

SARATOGA, Sept. 3.-The annual ccnven-
ton of the American Bankers association
opened to-day. President Charles Parsons,
president of the State bank of st. Louis,
delivered the annual address. He treated
all financial questions of Importance, par
ticularly the silver question On the latter
question he argued, as congress had al
ready passed law for its solution. that
law should be given chance to show how
1t worked. Agitating the question at
present would only result in harm to the
country.

In the Interest Of Science.

PARIS, Sept. S.-Jacaues Constant was
guillotined yesterday at Epinal. Within
one minute after the knife had fallen his
body was handed over to DIR. Gley, pro-
fessor of physiology of the faculty of the
University of Paris. DR.. Gley stated that
he was able to observe the heart beating for
elk minutes after he received the body.
His experiments prove that the contrac-
tions of the venticles and auricles are indie
pendent of each other. This is the first
time in the history of science that such an
experiment has been made on a human
body.

Talks With Deity While Hxpnot,.ed.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 3.-Two physicians fled
complaint in the probate court to-da, for
an inquiry as to the sanity of Mrs. Wood
worth, the evangelist, who has been holding
meetings here for several months. The
doctors think her peculiar mental and
bodily state is due to hypnotism exerted by
Mr.. Woodwork, and that its effect is most
pernicious. The basis for inquiry lies in
the fact that Mrs. Woodwork has stated
that while in this state she has conversed
with the deity and descended into hades.

1t will soon be time to make some ar
rangements for winter sports. The sooner
something definite is determined upon the
better it will be. There are enough people
in the city who would patronize good ice

vim and confidence will take this matter in
hand he may make few dollars this win,
ter. There are several good places in and
near the city that would make desirable
locations for a rink.

The company says that it has no interest In

continue this system under the Weekly Pay

Mr. Connolly. In reply, says that the company
has no right to deduct any such Indebtedness
from the wages earned under the Weekly Pay

TO the Storekeeper is matter outside OF the
