EvEnYBopY WILL AGREE that the speech
with which Mr.. REED al iourned the Fifty
first Congress was signally powerful and
felctous effort. However individuals
may differ with Mr.. REED as to the essence
of his philosophy, no candid and inteli-
gent man will deny that his statement of
II was strong, graceful and luminous in
the extreme. In truth, the man is an
intellectual giant. Everything about him
is on the heroic order. His brain is in
perfect proportion to his stature and his
grth and whether he be always wise or
not, he is certainly always positive, force
fnl, ingenious and sincere. Every sem
tence in that brief and compact two min
announced theory and proclaimed a
conviction. II was n collection Of aphor-
isms compressed into creed.
We have our doubts, however, as to the
propriety of Mr.. REEDS position in pre-
ferring the verdict of the future to that of
the present. If his work has been in
tended for the next generation he might
he justified in assuming that an intelli-
gent estimate thereof was not to be ex-
peeted now. But such is hardly
the case. No future time will
AFFORD so favorable means of
weighing exactly the performances of
the Fifty-first Congress. 1t may be that
in the single case of the tariff Mr.. REEDS
portulate is vindicated, but as regards the
bulk of the record, truth and justice will
gain nothing and must lose much by any
appeal from contemporaneous appraise-
ment.
II was not to discuss Mr.. REEDS philoso-
ply, however, but to commend his tren-
chant and vivid and impressive oratory
that this article was begun. The CRITIC
has not been In sympathy with his be-
liefs, his purposes on his methods from
the outset and is not likely to change
its views at this hour of the day.
What we wished was to express our
cordial admiration of the mans power,
his indomitable resolution, his forceful
and brilliant intellectual equipment. He
will return TO the Fifty-second Congress
shorn of much of his merely physical au-
thority but of none of his intrinsic power.
lie will be then, as he is now, a con-
spicuous and attractive and potent factor
in public affairs. No hostile majority can
obscure his unique individuality; no per-
srcctive, however formidable can dwarf
his towering form.

Why Do Not More Women Marry?

10 The nemtn's DepGtmeat Of ne Nt,o York
'Rfcorder.
have seen several articles in your very
interesting paper ON the subject, "Why
do not more women marry There
have been various answers given, but !
think the true reason is-because they are
not asked. In New York City-I am now
speaking of the upper class-there are two
women 70 every man, and II is manifestly
improbable that every girl should have a
proposal and even IL the number of girls
and men were equal, there. would still be
n great many girls who would die "old

ried, but | am sorry to say the men are
not. Why this is so ! do not know, for
there are no happier people than the mar
ried men. B. l.. III.
The president of the General Federation
of Woman's Clubs writes the Womans $
Departments
MANY women do not marry because
they do not meet the man who truly
loves them and whom they truly love in
return. Others because they will not
marry for home or to please friends, or
to escape life of single blessedness.
Some are nnamiable coquetish, un-
cultured, extravagant and eXacting. They
lack marrlageable qualities. Others from
observation fear to. marry lest they find
themselves in an uncongenial relation
from which there would be no escape.
They had rather bear the ills they have
than to fly to others they know not Of.

Expecting that the Democrats would
make objection to the resolution tender
ing the thanks of the House to Speaker

his support to the Republicans rather

The End.

IRON me NeW l0'H sun.
The Congress of the Force bill, the Nc
Kinley bill, the pension bills that have
empted the Treasury and sheolized the
surplus, the Congress of Reeds hammer,
Rowell's axe, and Cannon mouth, ends
appropriately in scramble for small pri-
vate jobs on the part Of the statesmen for
whom there is no tomorrow.
Mark off the Fifty-tirst Congress with Il
blacker line even than distinguishes the
Forty-third or the Forty-seventh, and turn
a clean page for Number Fifty-two.
Democratic high jnks over the execu-
yember should be tempered somewhat by
the reflection that trouble now begins for
the Democracy. The overwhelming ma
jorty by which the party of the people
controls the incoming House of Repre-
sentatives is in itself a source of danger.
If the fools were all dead, or all Repub-
licans, the prospect would indeed be
bright for the first session Of the Fifty
second Congress, distinguished by such
moderation, practical common sense and
devotion to sound Democratic policy as to
make the result of the Presidential cleo
ton of 1892 dead sure, and to render the
redemption of the Senate an event of the
near future.
The past, at least, is secure. The Force
bill is beaten, Reeds hammer is broken,
Rowell's axe has flown off to Blooming
ton, H., and Capnon's mouth is shut
tighter than Jackson.
