Hon. Thos. B. Reed Unanimously Nomi-
mated for speaker-The Other Omcers.
There was nothing like turmoil or anxiety in
or around the caucus held on Saturday evening
by the republican members Of the House. The
hall Of the House being thoroughly occupied by
the democratic caucus the republicans met in
the Judiciary committee room, where, after
some delay because . quorum was not
present, Mr.. Henderson Of Illinois called the
caucus to order. Mr.. Dalzell Of Pennsylvania
acted - secretary. The only nomination for
the speakership was that of Thomas B. Reed Of
Maine, made BY Mr.. Burrows Of Michigan. In
presenting Mr.. Reeds name Mr.. Burrows eulo-
gised the work Of the Fifty-drst Congress and
Of Speaker Reed. Mr.. Reeds nomination was
unAnimously satisfactory, and that fact being
declared by the chairman the ex-Speaker made
brief but earnest speech, in which he prophe-
sled the speedy return to Legislative power Of
the republican party. All the minor officers Of
the House who served the Fifty-Arst Congress
were renominated without opposition

Assistant Secretary Grant is Acting-The Desk
With q Hole in 1t.
The desk Of the Secretary of War presented a
strange appearance this morning. 1t had been
stripped of all books and papers and the great
hole burned through the top several months
ago was exposed to view. The desk will be re-
paired during the interregnum elapsing be-
tween now and the coming of a new cabinet
officer. The hole in it has been heretofore COW
cred up by plotting pad, as Secretary Proctor
did not care to lose the use of the desk long
enough to have it patched. 1t is an unusually
handsome piece of furniture, being made of
carved rosewood.
Gen. Grant is acting secretary according to
the statute, which was amended at the last ses-
sion Of Congress to permit such service tocon-
tinue for thirty days instead of ten days. as
heretofore, without special designation by the
President. This was done TO avoid embarrass-
ments similar to those encountered between the
death of Secretary Window and the appoint
meat Of Secretary Foster.

If improved rightly the good weather Of
this week may be the means of restoring to
the State Fair the prestige which has been
lost through the accumulation of a large
debt and succession of bad seasons. While
the State Fair has been struggling along
with debt and foggy weather the eastern
Maine Fair, with no debt and smiling skies,
has been earning name for itself and money
for its proprietors, until it has come to fill
almost as large place in the public eye as
the older and larger state fair. Without
wishing to disparage in the least The fine
show established at Bangor we must recog-
nize that the older fair is after all the greater
and better. The farmers of Maine are con-
sentative, and cling to the old and the es-
tablished with great constancy. They have
stood by the State Fair through bad weather
and bad financlering, and have kept 1t up as
great fair. Luck is turning to their side
now. and If the opportunities presented are
improved properly, the fair may be put upon
a secure basis. The Eastern Maine Fair has
heen the success 1t is because it has had ex-
cellent management by one or two men. The
State Fair has been handicapped by having a
larger number of managers, and consequent
ly there has been less unity of purpose.
Careful management will make the State
Fair greater than its patrons have ever ex-
pected.

The investigations into the charges of off.
cial corruption in Canada are having some
surprising results. While the liberals have
been battering at the conservatives for the
malfesance In the department of government
presided over by Sir Hector Langeyin, the
conservatives have been carrying on an in
vestigation into the conduct of the govern
ment of Quebec, which is in the hands of the
liberals AS result the railway committee
of the Canadian Senate have reported that
Premier Mercier, of Quebec, with several
associates has misapplied $4,000 of the
bounty granted the Bale des Chaleurs rail-
way. 1t must be remembered that the Do
minion Senate is conservative body, the
members of which hold office for life.
and are appointed by the governor general
upon the recommendation of the Premier.
Such body might be very ready to find
cause of condemnation against a liberal
provincial government If such finding would
help out their own party. Nevertheless it is
hardly probable that such body would
yield to party pressure so far as to condemn
Mercier without some grounds. 1t is very
often the case that both PARTIES are con-
cerned in any thieving that may be going on.
With men Of both parties in it. the chances
OF immunity are much better, as has been
demonstrated often in this country.

The chairman of the Massachusetts prohi-

Of that party this year is to break down the
Republican party. That is the mission OF 1t
in almost every State, and has been for many
years past. The promotion of temperance
is secondary matter with it. Because the
people understand this is one reason why it
makes no more progress.
