NJ. Reeds Speeches.
Boston Transcript

There is a distinct flavor of statesman
ship which separates MIR. Reeds speeches
from ordinary stump addresses. They ap-
pear to have country rather than party for
thtir main care; they are more carefully
thought out as general thing: have way
of treating the other side alphabetically,
as only mistaken, but meaning to
be patriotic, too: in short, have
philosophical vein of comment and
criticism and besides they possess GER
tain amount Of candor which is decidedly
refreshing in an argument meant to uphold
only one side. Mr.. Reeds method of do
log that is unique, interesting and original.
He has grown greatly in mental stature
since the speakership opened new world
of influence before him, and presented OPP
portunities which he worthily improved.
Mr.. Reeds genial qualities enlisen his
more solid appeals, and render it almost
impossible for them to engender animosity,
however close and cutting they may be.

The sale of accordions in this country is
steadily decreasing, other instruments
taking their place, especially mandolins
and guitars, of American manufacture.
The present annual consumption in this
country, exclusive of toy accordions, is
estimated at $50, 900. Accordions are made
principally in Saxony, Germany.

Paymasters' clerks in the navy occupy
an anomalous position. The clerk is a
civilian, though he wears an officers uni
form and is more or less subject to naval
discipline. He is not permanently en-
gagged, but many clerks remain for 10, 10
or 20 years, often following the paymaster
from one billet to another and passing
from paymaster to paymaster, according
to the exigencies of the service. The
clerk is fairly well paid and his position
aboard ship is dependent almost solely
upon his own personal character.

The young man who would succeed the
present Gar of Russia, in the event of his
death, is said to be weakling, effeminste
both in mind and body. He is reported to
entertain a warm affection for France
and to dislike both Germany and Eng
land. He is said to be somewhat given
to visionary dreams, one of which is
the extension of the present great railroad
now building into Siberia to America, by
bridging the Behring sea. This is certainly
project large enough to employ about all
the active energies of an extended reign :
but it may already have been sue
ceeded in the young mans imagination
by some more allurng project. No won

VOICES OF THE PRESS.
Tom Reed on CheapnCss.
Iowa State Register. }

The doctrine of cheapness has been
taught by the free traders. Their theory is
that chespness in itself is blessing. The
Republican party, believing in protection,
has combated this idea. 1t has said that
cheapness in and Of itself is not a virtue.
Gov. Mckinley once said that cheapness
may mean cheap man, and exPresident
Harrison put it in nutshell by saying that
q cheap coat may cover cheap man.
Thess sayings have been distorted by Dem
ocrsts. But what these men meant was
that cheapness means cheap wages and
therefore, a man who is compelled to live
chesply, an undergrad, underfed man.
But Tom" Reed in his recent New Y ork
speech put it better than either Mckinley
or Harrison, for Reed is MASTER of the ep-
igram. lie spoke of Legitimate cheap
ness that is chespness that does not rob
the workiugmsu. "For chespuess with no
money to buy" he said, lis mockery to
the soul, while cheapness with good wages
is the delight of life" Solomon might have
said this Thousands of men are witnesses
to its truth at the present time. What does
i, benefit him that laboring man can buy
a wooden SHIFT for a few cents cheaper
which of course he cant-as long as he
earns dollars less every week, or may not
be earning ANYTHING at all.

sense to bring forward the name of Lester D. Phelps, who was thereupon unani- mously nominated. Mr. Phelps election is far from assured as following so stormy a convention, but if he is elected the dis trict will get ffrst-class judge, a man of known integrity and ability, and consider able knowledge of law, and with good fund of common sense and discretion. He is assistant clerk of the Holland county superior court, is an army veteran of wide acquaintance throughout the coun- ty, and many warm friends will hope for his election. .
 The democratic convention on Tuesday, at the Stafford Springs House, nominated for senator Sheriff Kibbe, of Ellington, who had declined renomination to the office of sheriff. Thus we have running for senator on the democratic ticket the last candidate for sheriff, and for sheriff the last candidate for senator MT. Kib- be made good run in 1890, and will pull a strong vote for senator in his own town. The district is naturally republican, how ever. The probate convention, held at the same place on the same day, nomi- mated for judge of probate E. l.. Burr, dry goods merchant and a well known citizen. MT. Burr has good qualifications for the place, and stands high in the esti- nation of the community. He will poll good vote. Pitt Barrows, of Mansfield, was chosen member of the state central committee, having one more vote than c. H. King, of Stafford Springs.
 Candidate Coffin, who has recovered from his cold, is speaking in some of the principal towns, and is making good inn pression as candid speaker, with good knowledge of state craft. His clear cut, good sense favorably impresses the peo- pie, and his clean record in public life is an unanswerable appeal for support. He is no machine man, but was the choice of the common people as a candidate, and his strength is in the high regard felt for him by the rank and file of the party.
