Felt on Giving up Power.


Felt on Giving up Power.
Strange as it may seem, Speaker
Reed had some very warm personal
friends on the Democratic side Of the
last House. There were several with
whom he loved to linger and exchange
jokes as much as with any OF his
brethren on the Republican side. And
he has tho greatest respect for those
Democrats with whom he has had the
hardest and most acrimonious contests
both in committee rooms and in the hall
Of the House He is not on speaking
terms with Mr.. Mills, OF Texas, but
only the other day he expressed the
highest regard for the fiery Texan.
"Mr. Mills" he said, ''is a hard
lighter. l sometimes think he shows
more fight than is reasonable or fair.
but he is a straightforward, honest.
manly man. l never know him to tell
lie or do mean act"
Representative Grain, of Texas, ia
personal favorite with Mr.. Reed. The
relations between the two are so friendly
and intimate that Mr.. Grain had no hos
ltation in.stepping up to the ex-Speaker
after the final adjournment Of the House
and 1nquiring what apology he had to
make for his igh-handed treatment of
the House. Mr.. Reed paused, smiled,
searched the ceiling few seconds for
an answer, and then said:
My dear boy, you puzzle mo. Your
question makes me fool pretty much
as Lord Give, according to his own ex-
preston, might have felt when he was
under examination by committee of
the British parliament on charge of
having acted in too high handed man.
ner in India.
"You remember that as commander
of the British forces in India, Clive was
accused of accepting for his own bene-
mt presents from tho native princes
whom he had Subdued, and of being un-
kind in his treatment of some of those
native princes. Give thought of the
condition in which he found British in
terests in Inuia and the condition in
which he left them. lie recalled the
horrors of the black hole of Calcutta
and the fact that there was not Brit
1sh force within $4,000 miles to ayenre
that artrocity.
Moreover he remembered that the
British had been deprived of nearly all
the foothold they ever had in India and
were on the point of being driven bag
and baggage into the Indian ocean whom
he organized, almost created, small
force with which he turned the tide on
the natives and established the British
empire in India. Then he remembered
how complete his victories were, what
vast opportunities he had for revenge,
how thoroughly he had the barbarians
in his power and how little mercy tho
barbarianS deserved.
Whom he.thouqht Of the opportunities
he had and how little advantage he took
OF them, of the temptations that had be-
set him and of how littlo he yielded,
his Indignation at the party charges
preferred against him boiled over, and
he could not help exclaiming:
MY, God, gentlemen, 1 am amazed
at my own moderation"
"And you will not forget" Mr.. Reed
added suggcstively, "that the House of
Commons, as result of that investiga-
ton, passed unanimously resolution
declaring that Lord Give had rendered
great and meritorious services to Eng
land and to India"
