Speaker Reed has again dis
played his ability as a statesman
in a most marked manner, and
there are few men now in public
life who would have had the cour-
age to risk as much as failure
would have cost him in this case.
A short time ago the republican
House caucus endorsed the Win
dom silver bill and it was reported
to the House. There were quite
number of republicans who were
opposed to certain features of this
bill, and in Difference to them
another caucus was called last
week to consider the question.
At that caucus Representative
Mckinley, who is an able lieuten-
ant to Mr., Reed, proposed a new
silver bill as a compromise and it
was accepted by the caucus, al
though there were still a few
republicans who were not entirely
satisfied. The next day speaker
Reed called meeting Of the COM
mittee on Rules and a rule was
adopted to call up the new silver
bill at once and fixing upon Sat-
urday afternoon at 3 o'clock as
the time. for taking the vote upon
it. This went through with a
rush in spite of the kicking of the
democrats, who saw all their hopes
Of republican split upon the
silver question vanish into nothing
ness. Saturday afternoon the bill
was promptly passed and another
diamond was added to Mr.. Reeds
already brilliant diadem as party
leader.

A very funny incident occurred
during the debate on the silver
bill in the House. Mr.. Walker of
Mass. was making a speech and
he got SO warmed that he, SEEM
ingly unconsciously, removed his
coat and finished in his shirt sleeves
to the great amusement of his
colleagues and the galleries. 1t
was probably the first time that
a Congressman ever made a speech
III the House in that condition,
and it will not be forgotten soon.
Senator II. II. Price, OF Black
River Falls, who showed that he
was a man of convictions and not
afraid to express them when he
made speech in the senate

urges the passage of the Joiner
local option bill, was in Madison
recently and had a long secret
conference with the Governor.
Politicians there believe this young
man has a bright future before

opposition and he was followed
by Senators Sherman and Hiscock
