assistance of his brother he succeeded in
entering the seminary at Corydon, Ind.

as schooling was concerned. He began

painstaking lawyer. With the first shrek

That speaker Reed will WELD an
enormous power over the legislation Of
this session of congress is certain, but
we do not believe he will be powerful
enough to carry out what has been this
week announced as the Reed prOgam
i. e. to conline the legislation of the
session to the regular appropriation
bills and to bring about an adjourn
ment before the summer opens.
There is a power mightier than that
of any aspirant for the Presidency,
even though that aspirant be Speaker
of the house of Representatives,
lie opinion. And that power will de-
mand in tones which Speaker Reed
will not dare to disregard that con-
gress do something to stop the further
issue of bonds, if it does nothing else.
This is not question of partisan pol
itics, but one of the very greatest pub
lie interest. 1t is we'll known that If
congress does not legislate on this
subject another Issue of bonds will be
made inside of three months. If con-
gresS refuses to prevent that issue OF
bonds, Will it not come III tor an equal
share of the condemnation which the
public, and its members, have given
the Cleveland Administrations?
