aeed.s Plan 70 Secure a Re-electlon.

Reeds Plan TO Secure q Reelection.
There Is no doubt that Speaker Reed is a
man of great resources His congressional
district is a rather close one. At the last
congressional election he carried it by less
than 2, 900 majority, and it is asserted quite
freely that if voters had not been corrupted
by very literal use Of money he would
have been defeated. But be that as it may,
1t is quite certain that be has grave doubts
Of hIs ability 10 secure a reelection, and be
is, therefore. utilizing every chance 70 In
crease his vote.
A few days ago the Secretary of the
Navy published an advertisement stating
that couple Of ships we're to be repaired
and two buildings were to be erected at the
Portsmouth navy yard. The advertise
meDt attracted considerable attention, be
cause 1t seemed TO be understood tia. that
navy yard was about to be abandoned as
virtually useless, aud it was known that the
vessels it was proposed to repair were
worthless.
The Portsmouth navy yard is situated on
both sides Of the Piscataqua river, that
part Of 1t which is in Maine being known
as Kitfery The men that the Secretary
of the Navy will employ will be placed, no
doubt, in the navy yard at Kittery, and
care will be taken, Of course, to point out
to those who apply for employment that
the condition of their employment is thas
they will vote for Speaker Reed for con-
gress.
In this way at least $4,000 can be taken
out Of the treasury to help re-elect Speaker
Reed. The resolution now pending in the
House calling upon the Secretary of the
Navy for information relative to the neces-
sity for employing many hundred men in
the navy yard at this time Will doubtless be
passed. but there is not much probability
that the investigation will take place u Ill
after the congressional elections in Maine,
and Speaker Reed, if reelected, will not
care then whether the committee reports
that the Kittery navy yard was used to
assist him in getting reelected or not
The republican leaders are continually
talking of the necessity for the force bill to
insure purer elections in the south, and yet
1t seems that they sanction an indirect use
Of the public money to assist one Of their
number IN keeping his seat In congress. 1t
cannot be said that there is any immediate
necessity for doing the work in the
Kittery navy yard that the Secretary
of the Treasury has determined to have
done. The opening of the navy yard,
therefore, just ABOUT a month before
the Maine congressional elections justi-
fies the conclusion that the yard is to
be opened for no other reason than to assist
MIR. Reed in getting a reelection.
Mr.. Reed has been posing as a great and
pure man, but it is now apparent, Of the re-
ports from the First congressional district
Of Maine are correct, that he is willing to
resort to all kinds Of devices to keep his
place in the House. In view of the charges
made against him. and which as far as we
know have never been denied, 1T is in exceed
ingly bad taste for HIM to insist upon the
passage of the force bill in order, as he says,
to secure honest elections in the SOUTH.

Teller Refuses TO be Frightened.

Senator Teller, Of Colorado, is showing a
good deal of backbone. During the debate
on the tariff bill on Monday, Senator Blair,
Of New Hampshire, undertook to drive the
republican senators into adopting rule 70
cut of debate, 50 that the bill could be
rushed through the Senate without cousld-
GRAFTON, just as il was rushed through the
House under Speaker Reeds gag ruie He
read an article from the New York Tribune
entitled, The Cost Of Senatorial Courtesy"
in which it is stated that millions OF
dollars are being sent out Of the
country TO pay for imported goods which
could be manufactured in this country just
as well as not, and which would be if the
Mckinley bill should become a Law, because
the purpose of that bill is to check importa-
lions. The article further states that if the
Senate should fail 70 pass the bill the coun-
try would know whom to hold responsible
for its failure
Senator Teller was not alarmed in the
least by the reading of the threat Of the
chief republican organ. He said that DO did
not propose to vote for bill that would not
stand the test Of discussion and examination,
and, hence, he would not favor a gag rule
that would enable the Senate to pass a bill
with which few, if any, Of the senator's were
satisfied.
Senator Teller's remarks ELECTED expires
sions Of approval from the democrats and
were received with favor by some of the
republicans. The tariff bill has not the
hearty approval of a majority Of the repub-
lican senators. because they know that there
is no demand for such a bill Nowhere in
the west or south is there a sentiment in
favor of higher duties. Even the national
republican platform does not call for
greater protection. 1t only favors an
equalization of the tariff burdens. This
Mckinley tariff bill, however, raises the
duties all along the line to the point of pro-
hibition and, if it should become law, would
greatly increase the burdens of the people
1t is evident from what Senator Teller
said that gag rule will not be adopted by
the Senate. That being the case the force
bill will not be passed, because that bill
cannot be passed without a rule limiting
discussion and prohibiting dilatory motions.
