The friends of Mr.. Reed might we'll
feel alarmed at the prospect of the
teeth to teeth" encounter which Mr..
Compton proposes to force upon the
big man from Maine did they not know
perfectly well that the ex-spe&ker is
perfectly able to take care of himself.
Last winter he did the country a serv-
ice which will not be forgotten, in
showing how the business of the house
ought to be conducted He gave the
phrase majority rule real meaning,
which it had been too long without.
The minority wept, howled, kicked
down doors and threatened dire ven
geance, but Tom Reed remained cool,
strong, collected and unframed. In
short, he acted mans part.
The prospect is that if anybody has Il
good time in the nondescript congress,
Thomas Il. Reed will be the man. He
has keen sense of humor and the
operations of the Fifty second congress
will be Of character to amuse the
most stolid.
1t is very probable that the rag-tag
and bobtail majority will find Itself
fully occupied in attending to business;
but if any whiskered member from the
trans Mississippi plains or any blatant
braggart from the bayous of the gulf
thinks that he can extract pleasure
from a teeth to teeth encounter with
the staIwart son of Maine he is wei
come to try it. He will not try it

No Thought of Evacuating Egypt.

LONDON, Nov. 10.-Lord Salisbury
created decided sensation at guild
hall last evening. His positive declara-

which Gladstone had raised at New

take the opportunity to drop significant

MALICIOUS FALSiFICATION.
Facts Regarding Mr.. B1aine's Letter o
the Mckinley BIZ.

Facts Regarding Mr.. BIaines Letter on
the Mckinley Bill.
The letter of Secretary Blaine on the
Mckinley tariff law ought to set at
rest for all time the silly free trade
falsehood about Mr. Blaine's opposi-
ton to the measure which is proving
in all respects SO satisfactory to the
American people. Secretary Blaine
year ago in his speech at Philadelphia
unequivocally denied the story, making
much the same statement contained in
this letter, and there is not a demo
s-s-ei,-~stfuvr Or orator IN ONO VINO mas
used the garbled extract from Blaine's
letter to Senator Frye who did not
know at the time that he was willfully
misrepresenting the secretary of state
in SO doing. 1t was q piece of malicious
Justification on par with the Morey
letter, and the usual ''bunco'' methods
of the democracy in it's efforts at de-
ceiving the public.
No one was really misled by this
dodge of Gov. Campbell and his party,
however. The public at large knows
too well that the Mckinley bill has
enlarged the market for American
wheat and pork to be Influenced by
any such garbled extracts from old let
ters as the free traders have peddled
about As Secretary Blaine explains
in his recent letter, the state
ment which the democrats have
been quoting was written three
months before the Mckinley bill
became law and while it was
still in its formative stage, and it was
used in connection with an indorse-
ment of the bill as in general salts
factory 1t was as follows: II do not
doubt that in many respects the tariff
bill pending in the senate is a just
measure and that most of its pro-
visions are in accordance with the wise
policy of protection" Then followed
the sentence quoted by the democracy.
1t will be seen the connection shows
the secretary's meaning and robs the
sentence of the harshness which is ap-
parent when it stands alone.
The garbled extract from Blaine's
letter to Senator Frye is at best an old
story and the bourbon revival of it is a
miserable deception. 1t was written
before the bill became a law and does
not apply to the law in it's present
form in any way The truth is. as
Secretary Blaine very clearly points
| out. that the objection he made to the
bill was entirely removed before it be-
came law, and that the law has
most abundantly proved its value by
opening markets for fifteen million
dollars worth of American pork an
nually aud for hundreds of thousands
Of bushels of wheat, as well as foi
tens of millions of dollars worth O
our manufactured products. No law
ever on the statute books accomplished
so much in widening the markets fol
our products and contributing to the
general prosperity of the nation as th'
Mckinley law That fact alone is it
sufficient justification as well as th'
| fullest answer to such garbled quota
tions as this disreputable lie about tn
condemnation of the Mckinley law b,
