The Verdict Of Time.

Now. when the Hon. Thomas B. Reed
Is called by the united voice OF his party
to again assume the Office Of speaker OF
the national House of Representatives,
one recalls the stormy scenes Of tie fifty
first Congress, when Speaker Reed with
the foresight Of the statesman and the
courage Of an intrepid leader, boldly but
calmly, dispassionately but earnestly. and
loyalty supported by his Republican col
leagues, put in force rule dictated by
common sense and by means Of which the
House Of Repre- natives was enabled to
perform the work which it was chosen to
perform, and which it would have been
unatIe to do under the old and obsolete
order of things.
Mr.. Reed first made sure he was right
and then went ahead. Some men may
feel sure they are right and go ahead, but
history calls their judgment in question.
Mr.. Reeds judgment has been vindi-
Gated, not only by the grand work done
very men who before had denounced him,
the members of a Democratic House
forced to adopt the identical principle
upon which Speaker Reed took his stand
These wordc from the valedictory adj
dress of Mr. Reed as speaker on the 4th
of March, 1891, read in the light OF subse-
quent events Ike the words ofsprophecy;
Confident as l am of the verdict of time,
on what we have done | am still more
confident that the highest communication
to be given US in the future Will be not
for what measures We have passed, valu-
able as they are but because we have
taken so long stride in the direction of
responsible government. Having demon
trated to the people that those elected to
do their will can do it, henceforth excuses
will not be taken for performance, and
government by the people will be stronger
in the land

1t is the common belief that Mr.. Reed s
chances of getting the nomination are

jealousies and stumbling blocks in his

may cause. Statesmen who esteem them

In estimating Mr. Reeds expectations,
however, it should not be forgotten, al
though it seems to he forgotten usually,
that the Dirigo colossus has many mis-
sonaries engaged in his propaganda.

men have soft side for him, although
they must remember with what zeal he

Hon. Benjamin Harrison and free coin

Mr.. Reeds weak point is in the South,
Through the Republican states of the
North he is sure of friendship and sup
port. Members Of the House who are not
bound by local causes to the advocacy of
other candidates, will be found to BE- good
Reed men. They respect his talents.
They wonder at his genius. The Reed
cult is more widely diffused than is the
sentiment in favor of any other candi-
date
Finally, the feeling that Mr.. Reed can
be counted upon to do effectively and
with no weakness or hesitation whatever
may be thought good for his party, will
gain him adhcrents. The trimmer, the
conservative, the timorous respectable
have their uses; but when great party,
flushed with success, looks forward to a
period Of power, the man of daring and
of tremendous will may not seem it's least
attractive figure.
