Mr.. Reeds Speech.

The JOURNAL il glad to present to its
readers this morning the text Of Mr.. Reeds
mastery speech closing the Republican side
of the debate upon the Wilson bill. We
commend it to our readers, and trust that
no one of them will neglect to give it a
careful reading. Mr.. Reed never INDUCES
in commonplace remarks. All of his
public speeches are marked by sound logic,
breadth Of view, and wonderful clearness
and originality of statement. He is leader
of leaders, unrivalled in the arena Of de-
bate. We will not undertake to review Mr..
Reeds speech here. Its logic cannot be
successfully overcome. Its conclusions are
irresistible and speak for them
selves. The thoroughness with which
the fallacy of the Democratic
position is laid bare, leaves nothing to be
desired, and will not fail to have great in
fluencc with the intelligent people of the
country.

Cleveland's trend, the whiskey trust,
must feel little sore that the part Of the
tariff programme which referred to that
trust didn't meet with the approval Of tn e
House. The little extra tax imposed on
the whiskey trust would be more than COM
pensated for by the extension of time in
which the whiskey could remain in bond.
The storage of it's goods would more than
offset the little increase in tax. Mr.. Ding
ley's amendment, which was adopted. pro-
vides that the government shall not store
the trusts liquors any longer than it has
been doing, three years, no matter what the
tax may be. The amendment was timely
one and Mr.. Dingley is to be congratulated
in being instrumental in removing one of
the many iniquities of the Wilson bill.

MAINE GOSSIP.

The Maine Central has a good road bed
and while safety is not sacrificed for the
sake of making great speed some records
are occasionally made that are worth noting.
Speaking of the time made by train from
Portland to Bath the last Sunday in Janu-
ary,a passenger states that after leaving the
Union station the train hauled up over Port
land street bridge and then had to stop
for the eemsphore to give right of
way. He says: 1--WE left Portland street
at 10 80 p. M, and at 1856 were going in
to Brunswick, shutting off under the over
head bridge. We left Cumberland at
1910 and at 10 43 we left Yarmouth after
making one stop, distance of four exact
miles. We left Hillside at 1852 1-2, dis
lance of ten good miles. From the time
we started till we shut off under the bridge
going into Brunswick, a distance of 26 1-2
miles. we made the run in % minutes, with
the freight engine lis with only five-foot
driving Wheels" Carroll was the engineer.
The trial of Prawda on the charge of
numbering his mother-in-law is the more
interesting from the fact that the accused
man was put on the stand. If he doesn't
understand English better than he appeared
to he may have made blunders because of
his ignorance. If, however, he isn't SO ig-
norant of the language a. appeared he had
an advantage over the cross examiner.

Don'ts for Furnishers.

There should be book of "Don'ts" to
warn people what TO avoid in furnishing
their homes. The first should be. Don't
buy anything simply because ir is pretty
and beautiful in itself, but consider it in
relation to the spot where it is to be placed
Don't buy heavy, large pieces of furni-
ture for a fat nor for little house.
Don't if you expect to drift from fiat to
fiat fter your summer sojourn, buy fitted
carpets nor bedroom suits of wood and
heavy chairs and rockers. Don't try to
furnish a whole house with a few hGndred
dollars, pictures, ornaments ana all. Be
content TO wait for something. Don't, if
your means are limited. try to pitch your
whole standard of living and having as
high as few choice and elegant wedding
presents that kind friends have given you.
Don't keep the largest and sunniestToom
of house either for reception-room or
for a guestroom for an occasional visitor
