long ago repudiated his methods. They
would have done it in public if they
hadn't feared the party lash so much.
The only men who have been in sym
pathy with him have been the frantic
radicals like Cannon, Dunnell, Bowel,
Mckinley and the fanatical Kerr of
Iowa. Not one of these men will be in
the next House. Except for that bel
lowing bull, Boutelle, there will not be
a Reed man on the Republican side.
Possibly 1t will seem to some people
that this thing has worked itself around
to an exceedingly just and happy result.
Possibly it will seem to be a very appro-
pirate thing that the only Speaker of
the House Of Representatives who tried
to degrade his office to mere party uses
should come to wreck for it.
Before his election to the Speakership
Mr.. Reed was regarded in Washington
as a big, slab-sided rustic from Maine,
somewhat ill-natured, to be sure, but
supposed for some reason to be good
natured, and, from the size of his bullet
head, to be wise. If he had never been
Speaker he might be held in like esteem
now. In the light that has been shed
upon Mr.. Reed in the last IA months
people have realized the extent of their
mistake. Mr. Thomas Bracket Reed
has been accurately sized up. He will
never be Speaker again, even if the Re-
publicans win another House. One dose
of that sort is enough.

As the Thief on the Cross Went to Para
disc, So Murderers on the GalIows May
Go to Heaven.
Editor Gazette DC J0Rrndl' Allow me
space in your valuable paper to answer
the letter in last nights issue by "P. b.
c., entitled ga remonstrance." In the
first place he accuses ministers of the
gospel with giving condemned prisoners
a false hope of eternal life and Gods
mercy In the second place he declares
the word of God to be full of the
celebration that after death men are
judged according to the deeds done in
the body" Thirdly, that heaven is u
enter, place where the wicked are pun
ished for their sins, no matter how much
faith they may have.
To prove your correspondent wrong,
in the first place, let him turn to the
gospels and there read our dear Savior's
own promise, slim that cometh unto
me will in nowise cast OUT and again
God so loved the world, that He gave
His only begotten Son, that whatsoever
belieyeth in Him should not perish but
have everlasting life"
Secondly. The word of God does in
deed tell us very plainly that unless we
try to live good life we cannot enter
the kingdom of Heaven. But it is also
full Of the sweetest promises of pardon
and peace. When the thief on the cross
offered up his simple prayer of faith,
Lord remember me, when Thou cometh
into Thy kingdom" instantly came
the answer from our dying Lords
lips, "This day thou shalt be with me in
paradise" That dying thief had no
''good works" to offer to his maker, but
we know he entered the glorious city
clothed with the robe of righteousness
provided by dying Saviour's love.
Thirdly. If heaven be place where
"only the righteous can enter" how can
any one be saved? For scripture tells us
that eve are all as an unclean thing, all
our righteousness are as filthy rags"
And finally, where was the use of all
the Saviour's sulferings, if man by his
own righteous acts could make his peace
with God and purchase heaven? For
the apostle expressly declares that,
"Christ Jesus came into the world to
save sinners" A BELIEVER.

Announcement is made Of the death,
at Nyack, N. Y, of John w. Towt, a
prominent abolitionist of ante-bellum
days. In connection with his death il
is stated that he once lived in this city,
where he was engaged in the saddlery
business, and was compelled to leave
within AS hours for presuming to in
struct class of negroes in reading and
writing. Inquiry of Municipal Court
Clerk Hyland and other old citizens
failed to bring forth any recollection of
Mr. Towt as a citizen of this city at any
time. 1t is probable that some other

The Correspondent Interviews Bis
marck's Double--The Affair a Practical
Joke.
BupA PEsTH, Feb. 16.-The PeSther
lloyd publishes letter and vouches for
the correctness Of its details relating to
the famous Abranyi interview, claiming
that it was practical joke designed by
gentleman on Abranyi, the Hungarian
deputy, in revenge for some fancied
grievance which joker had against
Abranyi. The result was according to
the PeStter lloyd that man resembling
Bismark was employed to impersonate
the ex-chancellor and Abranyi is said to
have fallen into the trap and to have in
terviewed Prince Bismarck's dummy.
Herr Abranyi, it will be remembered
in August last, published an account of
an interview he was supposed to have
had with Prince Bismarck. The ex-
chancellor Immediately after the pub
LEGATION referred to repudiated all the
assertions made and Abranyi was re-
fused admittance 10 the -chancellor's
presence. Abranyi was highly incensed
at this proceeding and at the taunts and
ieers he received on all sides from the
press and from his friends and acquaint-
ances. Finally he was goaded into
publishing letter August 25th in which
he reproduced his former statements
and insisted upon their entire correct
ness. This brought out another denial
from Prince bismarck and q renewed
onslaught upon the unfortunate Hun
garian deputy. On August 2Sth as a re-
suit of his alleged interview with Prince
Bismarck Abranyi resigned his seat in
the Hungarian diet. Two days later the
unlucky interviewer published circum-
stantial account of his alleged interview
and was announced to be seeking a re-
election to the diet.
The last heard of Abranyi was on
September Goth, when the Hamburger
Ndchrichtea said that Abranyi, in con
sequence of the iibing he had received
on account of his alleged interview with
Prince Bismarck, was suffering so Sc
verely from nervous mania that his
friends had decided that it would be
necessary to place him in a lunatic
ASYLUM.

.AN OMEN. PERHAPS.


New York Herald special.
Blood will tell.
Not ga many years ago" / was often
an auditor in the Massachusetts, senate
to the eloquence of Charles Theodore
Russell, one of the ten per cent of the
forty" represented in the senate or
upper branch of the great and general
court of Massachusetts,. The senate
then stood SO Republicans; Democrats.
Charles Theodore always got there
logically, but the tide of politics was
against him. Men who opposed him
''tiopped''- one Albert Palmer,w who,
by the transmutation of politics, was,
within two little years, Boanerges of the
Republicans in the senate, his principal
opponent being Governor RusselPs
father, and Democratic mayor of Boston
but the sturdy old Democrat was left
to revel in his old age upon the honor
reflected from his son.
Governor Russell--well, it is tough for
us young-old fellows to see the young
sters coming up-he wore knickerbock-
ers when | played short stop in an anna
teur nine, rides from his house in Cam
bridge to the state house on horseback.
This morning his ride was varied. He
was thrown by his horse, which was
frightened by an electric car on Brattle
street, Old Cambridge. The governor
was wholly uninjured, was on his feet
in an moment, and Selling the animals
bride succeeded IN quieting him. He
then remounted and proceeded to Bos-
ton. The "whirligig of time" has q
moral perhaps.

An epidemic with the general features
of the grippe has within the past few
days spread to remarkable extent
throughout the city. For month past
it has existed, in more or less modified
form, but the recent changeable weather
outbreak, until the victims of the dis
ease in both its more extreme and milder
phases are numbered by the thousands.
Local physicians give varied diagnosis
of the malady. Some call it influenza.
Others explain it as malarial fever.
Others still treat it as a bad cold, while
there are one or two say it is reappear-
ance of the grippe. General treatment
seems to be similar to that for a bad cold.

New WESTMINSTER b. G., Feb. 10
This city was yesterday visited by fire
which destroyed in the neighborhood Of
100000 worth of property and caused
the death of John McCannon, a mem
Der of the Volunteer Fire Brigade.
The fire started in the premises
occupied by Il. Stiersky, watch
maker and ieweler, on Columbia street,
and the whole block of buildings was
ablaze before the fire department had
succeeded in getting to work. For two
hours the firemen fought the flames, and
were just getting them under control
when an explosion in the rear of one
store occurred. 1t broke almost every
pane of glass within a radius OF half
a mile and burst all of the hose pump
ing on the fire. The Masonic
Temple next adjacent had, up
to this moment, been considered
absolutely safe but the breaking of win.
dows caused draft which sucked the
flames inward and in a minute the whole
interior of the building was afire. 1t
was in four story brick buildings valued
at $4,000. 1t was occupied by stores,
offices, lodge rooms and provincial reg
istry offices. Nothing was saved out of
the building but the papers from the
registry office.
Floods of water were poured on the
Masonic block continually but 10 times
the amount Of water would have had
but little effect on the fire. Firemen
worked hard but to no avail. Their
streams of water burned to steam almost
before they reached the skirts of the
frightful sea of flame. The whole sky
was atlame with the lurid reflection. 1t
was stated that the light of the fire was
seen at Blaine and far up the Frazer
valley and out on the gulf.

The Brooklyn of Boston.
New England Magazine.

NOW EHEldHu hdbaAihv'
To certain portion of the American
world outside of Massachusetts,, Cam
bridge stands, l think, for Harvard Col
lege and not much else. The town, it
is true, borrowed its name from the old
English university town because of the
college, and in the expectation that its
college or prospective colleges were to
fulfil function in New England which
Trinity and St. Johns, Caius and
Corpus, and other Cambridge colleges
had been filling for centuries in old
England. But while the old town
which grew up about the bridge over
the river Cam has remained from first
to last, through all the centuries, only a
university town-dull, apart from the
intellectual brilliancy which shines from
the colleges, and slow, save for the fire
and dash infused into it during terms
by the choice body of English youth who
gather there-the new Cambridge hash
late years stridden forward almost like
a western town. 1t has spread itself
out for miles away from the college,
and is at this day full of intelligent life,
of Young and active life, and Of munich
pal life purely its own. II is
often called the Brooklyn of Boston,
separated from it only by its broad tidal
river, the Charles, as Brooklyn is sep
arated from New York. It has within
its own area miles upon miles of streets,
many thousands of inhabitants; and it
demands for itself, or at any rate is in a
condition to wisely and profitably use,
every municipal and public advantage
which its own efforts or the philan-
thropic acts of others can secure for it.

The Sussex Levy Court.


The levy court adjourned on Tuesday
until the regular March session without
receiving the report of the famous in
vestigating committee, although what
purported to be such report was circu-
lated during the campaign last fall for
political purposes. There is a mystery
in this matter that the Republican ma
iority do not care to have revealed. The
party that promised such great reform
and economy in county affairs and ac-
cused the Democrats of keeping every
thing hidden from the people, as the
very first opportunity institute star
chamber proceedings and refuse to let
the tax payers know the cost of the in
vestigation, or in what way the money
was expended. The levy court acted
contrary to law in giving the committee
power TO pay bills without orders from
them, and it is acting in bad faith to the
people as long as it refuses to receive
the report Of the committee and udit
the expenses. The people have right
to know in what way the taxes they pay
are expended, and though the conduct
of the levy court may shield individuals
for while the voters will have their
turn in short time and will punish the
wrong doors. Turn on the light, let
who may suffer.

ILL-FATED JoHNsToWM
The Place Flooded and All the Bridges
Wrecked.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, Feb. 16.-The heavy
rams for the past 30 hours, and the rapid
melting of the deep SHOWS in the noun
tains, caused the rivers to rise rapidly.
The new bridge at Walnut street was
carried away, which dislodged the rail
road bridge at that point.
During the afternoon the Poplar street
bridge was carried away, and striking
the Broad street bridge carried it away
also. All other bridges were also carried
off except the new one at Franklin
street. BY night all of Cambria was
under water as well as some Of the prin-
cipal streets of the south side and the
main streets of the city. People left their
houses, many in boats, and others on
horseback and in wagons.
A number of very narrow escapes
from drowning occurred, and one
woman and a child floated down the
street in a small hut before being res
cued.
