from the Albany journal,

The House Of Representatives has adopted
code Of rules; and Thomas b. Reed OF
Maine comes out Of the storm and into the
mould.
[From the ST. Louis Globe-DemocratJ
The rulings Of Speaker Reed on the QUO
rum question will form a recognized princi
pie In procedure In the House hereafter
whether under Democratic or Republican
control. They are based on reason and will
be authoritative for all time.
From the Boston Traveller
The country is to be congratulated on the
end Of this unprecented contest, which opens
up prospect Of securing needed legislation
and Speaker Reed Is entitled TO great honor
for the courage, tact, GOODNESS and ability

Evidence seems to be accommodating that
the scene Of the Sawtelle murder was New
Hampshire, and that Maine was only the
burying ground. This will relieve the State
OF Maine Of a big bill of expense for his trial
and for his support for the remainder of his
natural life. 1t will also result in quite as
satisfactory disposal Of the culprit-indeed
In the opinion of great many people much
more satisfactory one.

The salt Lake Mormons have abandoned
their avowed intention of appealing to the

Some Ohio politicians seem to be itching for
an opportunity TO wash their dirty linen in

letters that will compromise some prominent

The row that is waging among them is nj
edifying and does not promise well for the
future of the Republican party In the Buck

The Salisbury ministry is inclined to
dodge as much as possible any discussion of
the report of the Parnell commission. Mr..
Smiths proposition to refer 1t to the people,
which has been adopted by the ministry, is
simply plausible subterfuge by which the
Tories hope to rid themselves of a trouble
some question. But the Parnellites do not
intend that the government shall escape
thus easily. They mean to keep the COM
mission matter as prominently before Par
lament and the people as possible. 1t is in
pursuance of that policy that they going to
move that the government pay Parnelrs ex-
penses before the commission. Probably
they do not expect to get the bill allowed.
but 1t will furnish basis for discussing the
commission verdict. II this fails doubtless
other motions with the same design will be
offered.

The Bergen County IN. j. Democrat has
been reproving the Democrats of Hudson
County Of that State for stnfing ballot boxes.
This is specimen Of Its singing rebukes:
The Democrats have majority large enough In

stunning ballot-b0xes with fraudulent tickets was
unnecessary The parties to the crime ought to

The natural inference seems to be that the

very high-cheSted, square-shouldered
aud long, stiff, slim-waisted figure which

getic young person is tall and breezy,
