THE REMNANT OF REEDS CONGRESS-
1t Is Likely to Look to Blaine for Leader
ship and Adopt His Reciprocity Idea.

a.
WAsnINGToN, Nov. lit is rather
early to be laying down programme of
operations for the Fifty-sccond Congress
further than to predict that the next
House will modify the present tyranni-
cal code of rnles, and cndeavor to repair
some OF the injury inflicted by the lcg-
islation of the last session But as To
what will be done during the brief rem
nant of the Fifty-ilrst Congress interest
runs nigh.
As already stated in these dispatches.
the general opinion is that the Rcpubli-
can majority will not relinquish their
high handed style of legislation and
pursue more polite and conciliatory
course. Hardly anybody can be found
who thinks that the passage of the
force bill will lie even attempted.
There will not he any movement in the
direction OF repeal Of tho tariff bill
but it is generally understood to-day
that the President will recommend and
with the assistance OF Secretary Blaine
and the rest of the cabinet will try to
push through some new and positive
Legislation i'll pursuance OF Blaine's re-
ciprocity idea.
1t is also believed to he the plan that
the State Department shall take vigor-
Gus action this winter in the matter of
preparing treaties, with the object of
promoting reciprocal relations with
Cuba and with the Pan-American States
1t is said that President Harrison now
thinks he made great mistake III sid
ing with Reed against Blaine last sum-
mer, and i'll smothering his reciprocity
message at Reeds instance. Now the
President has humblcd himself before
his Secretary in due form and is eager
to follow his lead, as the only thing
that can possibly cxtricate President
and party from the present bad tangle.
AS the Star says this evening:
Many Republicans, who fully appre-
ciatc the meaning of their defeat. look
to Mr.. Blaine to do something in this
direction to save them. and arc ready to
turn the party command over to him. Ii
is expected that the stroke attempted al
this session will be to agitate the reel
procity question so as to distract at.
tcntion from the Mckinley law, and al
the same time to steer as clear as posi-
bic of the radical course which was fol
lowed during the last session

A Lesson in sclr-ReIianoe.

Mr.. Depew told me an anecdotc. A
good many years ago a young freight
clerk was employed at one of the coun-
try stations on the Erie Railroad. He
was farmers boy. who had nothing
but common school education. but
was regarded as pretty bright chap.
He indicated this youthful reputation
by his management OF the little freight
business TO which he had to attend. and
was soon transferred 10 a more impor-
tant place near Buffalo. There he be-
gan TO reveal the genius that was in
him by suggesting certain new methods
of dealing with freight and there he
came under the eye OF Commodore
Vanderbilt.
Some time later after the consolida-
ton of the Hudson River aud New
York Central Railroads the old Com
modore desired TO get man 10 take
charge of the freight business. and
thought of this young man. He sent
for him and offered him salary OF
$l5. 900 year TO assume the duties OF
master of freight transportation. The
clerk was a rosy-cheeked, yellow-haired
young man, who at once accepted the
offer with such confidence In his abili-
ties as TO please the old Commodore,
who hated "A man who had no self-con-
iidence. Not long after hc took charge
very complicated aud difficult pro-
blem in freight transportation arose.
II puzzled the young fellow so that he
could not sleep nights. If he made a
mistake he felt that it would he fatal TO
his reputation, probably 10 his career.
while II he succeeded he We Id simply
accomplish what he had been hired TO
do. At last in his anxiety he ycntured
TO call upon the old Commodore, stated
the difficulty TO him, and asked advice.
The old man looked at him moment
and then said
Jim, what does the Central hire you

ton
well. do You expect i am going 10
earn your salary for you?'
That was all the Commodore said.
and the young man turned on his heel
and left him. He went out and acted
on his own Judgment; acted with uner.
ring foresight, and was soon promoted
10 the Presidency. Later on he

himself in the services OF the Central
