Arizona republican., 1894-11-15

say that no more tariff legislation will be enacted by the Fifty-third congress in the brief remaining hour of it's ex- istence.
 What of the Flfty-fourth congress which has just been elected? The house is clearly Republican by hand some majority, and in the senate the balance of power probably will be held by the Populists, two of whom, Jones and Stewart, of Nevada, are of Repub- lican antecedents.
 It is not a matter of serious conse quence whether the senate is Republi- can or anti-Republ blican by small ma jority, for no Republican legislation of value could possibly become law over President Cleveland's veto, and no anti Republican legislation can become law, since the house is sure to be strongly Republican.
 The speaker of the Fifty-fourth con- gress is sure to be that great Republi. can statesman, Thomas B. Reed, man in every respect intellectually worthy to wear the manual of statesmanship dropped by Maine's great representa- tive, James G. Blaine, of glorious memory.
 MT. Reed is to be congratulated on the fact that the election swept out of congress number of Democrats and Popnlists who are sure to make life a burden to presiding officer of brains and executive energy.
 MT. Reed will, it is true, regret the absence of Bourke Cochran, a Democrat of brains, eloquence, culture and genial lty, but he will note with pleasure the absence of that ancient political raven, croaking from cornice, Holman, of h. diana; he will not deplore the defeat of "Where- Was-I-At" Cobb, of Alabama :; he will be glad that Lafe Pence, of Colo rado, and Sockless Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, have been obliged to hang their Populist swInette upon the willow tree, whose dropping branches are the weep
 
 Mr. Reed will be glad, too, that his prospective parliamentary lite is to be frightened by the probable absence from the house of Anti Option" Hatch. Of Missouri, not to speak of the lesser lights from that state who have been quenched, such as Congressmen Dockery and Champ Clark, whose unique elo- quence electrified Tammany July 4. MT. Reed will miss, too, that brace of Populist hooters from Nebraska, McKeighan and Kerr, the sage hens of the Populist con- gressional camp. MT. Reed will miss Tim Campbell, of New York, who once feelingly said "Gintlemen, what is a mere trife like the constitution between frinds?'
 MT. Reed, with his keen sense oi humor, will greatly miss Tim Camp. bell, who has persistentlv during his congressional year contributed more than his share to the gayety of Nations MT. Reed will miss Tom Johnson, ot Ohio,, who was bowling "free trader on his feet until DalzeIl, of Pennsyl- Vania, exposed his hypocrisy in busi. ness; but, most of all, Reed will miss his old-time antagonist, Bill" Spring CT, of Illinois, whose carcass Reed has shot full of the arrows of his wit and sarcasm for dozen years past.
 Reed used to say of the late "Dick'' Townshend, of Illinois, and Springer that "they were both iackasses; the only difference was that while Springer was the broadest if not the biggest jackass, Dick Townshend was the most intense." MT. Reed will miss also MT Bynum, of Indiana. who, in August 1891, as a wise man from the east labored to convince the people that it would be nice thing to have free wool.
 The country Is enjoying free wool' today and Bynum's successful efforts tc secure that boon to his country have been rewarded by his retirement tc private life. Indiana had no use fol | Rvnurn a frar ha votpd for tba Wilson
