SPEAKER REED.
1.-THE newspapers of the United States
WELD public sentiment more than does Con-
gress. The publication Of our proceedings
in full in the Congressional Record detracts
from Congressional influence rather than
adds to it, England has but one news cen
tire, or centre of public sentiment, and this
IS London. The United States has a half a
dozen, and the newspaper correspondents
devote themselves to the reporting Of mat
tiers of local interest in their various sec
tons rather than to the giving in full the
general Congressional news. If the Con-
gTeSSiOnGI Record was abolished the news of
Congress would bs made much more i'm
portsnt in the eyes of the people and our
proceedings would be much more fully re-
ported. As it is, in the New York news
papers you will find fuller account Of the
dolngs OF the legislature at Albany than
you will of the doings of Congress, and this
| is due both to our rules and to the Record.
| hope the time will come when matters of
public interest can be more quickly brought
before Congress than is possible now"

"The copyright bill is bound to pass
sooner or later, and it will, think, go
| through this session. | believe it will
cheaper books to American readers and it
will make literature profession. AS it is
now man who has copyright in England
has to have the book published in that coun-
try before anywhere else, and he has to be
also in the country at the time it is pub
lished. Mark Twain copyrights his books
in England as well as in America He has
them issued q few hours there before they
are issued here and he goes up to Canada
and stands on the Niagara bridge when
they are issued from the press. The Cen
tu7y magazine is doing well We are glad
to see new magazines started, for they
foster taste for reading and thereby help
US. We have circulation of about twelve
thousand in England, but we do not cater
to the English trade and we aim to publish
an American magazine for Americans

at seems to me that the Republican party
needs regeneration. There are too many
diverse elements pulling in different ways,
and the Democrats are solidly against the
whole. The defeat of the election bill was
q serious mistake, and it will have bad
effect upon the country. What we need
more than anything else is honest elections
and the assurance that every mans ballot
will be counted. AS to candidates, do not
think that President Harrison will be re-
nominated and | do not think that he will
desire denomination. There are numbers
| of good men, and among the possibilities |
would mention Speaker Reed, Mr.. McKin-
Hey, Senator Allison, General Alger, and
last but by no means least, General Clark
son. Clarkson would make strong candi-
date. He would bring all the young blood
OF the party to the surface and would be
elected if it is possible for US to elect any
one Senator Sherman is also a possibility
and there are OTHERS who have a chance al
the nomination. As to the Democratic can
didate it may be Cleveland, but would not
be surprised that when the convention
meets Hill may be the nominee

II sold picture the other day to Senator
Kellogg over the story of which the Sena-
tor laughed. 1t was a water color sketch
of little negro boy and girl playing check
/ ers, and took it from life NV first mod
els were two little negro boys, Sambo and
Jim, and both were as bright little raga-
mullins as you will find in Washington. At
the third sitting Sambo did not appear and
when | asked Jim what was the matter he
said with grin on his face:
"'Oh, Sambo, he amt comm today
"'No!' said l.
"'No' said the little darkey, as he
laughed again and sucked his thumb
"'Un Sambo haint comm tomorrow

ono said 1, rather surprised, and

"'No, un Sambo. amt comm next week,
neither. He CAN'T come no more. Sambo )

"Well, had to take Sambo out of the
picture and got that little coiored girl to
take his place"

cry of the next campaign will be economy
! in government expenditure and this will be
bigger issue than the tariff. l predict
/ that the next Congress will be the most con.
servative and creditable we have had for a
dozen years. 1t will surpass the Forty
| fourth Congress, the first of which reduced
the appropriations S29,000,000 and resulted
in the election of Tilden and Hendricks. |
was member of that Congress and at its
second session we cut down Uncle SANS
expenses s34, 900, 900, and our appropriations
at that time were only little over one
hundred and siXty-two million dollars. This
year we expect to spend 1862, 600, 600 and the
increase is astounding. 1t is astounding
and terrible and the people won't stand it.
EX-SENATOR CHENEY, OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
'The chief issue of the next campaign
will be the tariff, and the Republican can
didates will be elected. Who they will be
l DON'T care to prophesy. 1t seems to me
that President Harrison is very strong to
day and he has made no mistakes. AS to
the Democratic nomination, Cleveland will
probably head the ticket and 1t seems to me
that the election of Hill as Senator from
New York was the result of bargain by
which Cleveland was to get the Presiden-
tial nomination. l hear German also men

manager. 1 suppose the Democrats will

They cannot misrepresent the Mckinley
tariff bill as they did during the last cam
paign. Even the clerks in our New Hamp-
shire stores aided them. remember one
day during the campaign passed through
my kitchen and saw that the cook had laid
in an extra barrel of sugar. When I asked
why she had bought so much she told me
that the clerk had told her of the Mckinley
tariff, and that everything was going up. ]
informed her that sugar would be at least 2
cents pound cheaper as soon as the bill
went into effect, and l give this merely as
an example of what went on all over the
country. was in London at the time the
Dill was before Congress. The business
men there were excited over it, and big
manufacturer of pulp told me it would ruin
him II it passed. The truth of the matter is
