SNeuker Reed.

The position of Speaker Reed al
this time is very conspicuous one.
as well as very risky one. Ii re-
quireS a good deal of courage for him
to thus assume a place that is beset
with chances of mistake and misfor-
tune, and certainly he is to be admir-
ed for not shirking such a test of his
ability. The fact that he is candi-
date for President is no secret. He is
not only willing to take the office. but
anxious to get it. and all of his pro-
ceedingS from this time on will be di-
rected to that end. According TO the
latest accounts, this ambition has al
ready worked Il material change in his
habits and methods. He is no longer
frankly humorous and sarcastic. hut
inclined to dignity and reserve. The
correspondents interrogated him in
vain for views and comments. and
even his intimate friends miss the bub-
bling merriment with which he was
wont to set the table in roar. There
is evidence in his manner, il is said,
that ne feels Il necessity of taking
himself seriously. of presenting an
as he can with that chcrubic counte-
nance from which the light mustache
has been detached for some strategic
reason. He is as friendly as ever.
but it is in a different way. suggcs-
tive Of a caution that keeps back the
good things which might ne said ''cX-
cept for these bonds
1t is Mr.. Reeds privilege. Of course,
to seek the Presidency. and there are
Il great many of his fellow-citizens
who would like to see him secure it.
But at the same time there is occa-
sion for general regret that he has
allowed the bee to get into his bOnet.
He is easily the most interesting and
man now in American
public life-that is. he was before this
thing happened, and now for several
months to come he is TO play sober
and taciturn part. thus eclipsing the
gayety of the nation in pronounced
degree. We are not to expect any
more of his characteristic quibs and
pungencies until after the next Repub-
lican National Convention. He has
sworn nhimselftO monotony and solemni-
ty, and will be like an ordinary states
man so far as amusement is concerned.
There are pitfalls for him to avoid
and snares fer him to escape. and he
must concentrate his whole mind upon
these matters. He does not dare to
indulge his remarkable drollery when
a crisp joke may cost him a delegate
or fine bit of irony turn State
against him. 1t is a great pity, and
a public loss, that this could not have
been avoided. At most. there is little
enough brightness in our politics. and
the suspension of Mr.. Reeds surpass-
ing service in that relation leaves us
poor indeed, and at time, too, when
We particularly need that sort of
thing as aelief from the dull and
tiresome speeches that are sure to be
made during the present session of
Congress.-Globe-Democrat.

The Annapolis and Baltimore short Line
Railroads Protest Against Atffi-
tional Assessment.

General Manager C.. A. Coomhs. of
the Annapolis and Baltimore Short Line
Railroad, was before the county COM
missioners yesterday protesting against
an additional assessment ON the compa-
nays $ roadbed aud rolling-stock. The
county commissioners postponed con-
slderation of the case until April 18th.
at the request Manager Coombs, who
asked TO confer with the directors.
The road, it was stated, is already as
seSsed IN Baltimore county for $4,000,
the p' lncipal office being located at Cliff
fords. The county treasurer of Anne
Arundel had increased the asses >ment
on the roadbed from $4,000 to $1,000 Il
mile for the twenty miles of road opera
ted IN Anne Arundel county. There is
also contention as to whether or not the
rolling stock should he taxed i'm Anne
Arundel unity, some of the commits
sloners claiming that Anne Arundel is
entitled to this revenue from the COM
pany.
Mr.. Coomhs stated that he preferred
that Anne Arundel should get a share,
but doubted if the transfer could be
made from Baltimore county, which
already assessed the railroad property.
This additional assessment would in
crease the taxable basis of Anne Arun-
del over $4,000. Since the decision of
the Court of Appeals placing Acton S
resort at Brooklyn in Anne Arundel
comfy this property has been assessed
at $4,000. Other new property was add
ed yesterday, including personal ASSESS
ments. Sheriff Linticum was assessed
5000 additional, and number of citi-
Zens who have escaped taxation hereto
fore will be put on the list.

Hoods Sarsaparilla has achieved great
success in warding off sickness which,
if allowed to progress, would have un-
dermined the whole system and given
disease strong foothold to cause much
suffering and even threaten death
Hoods Saruaparilla has done all this
and even more. 1t has been taken in
thousands of cases which were thought
to be incurable, and after fair trial has
effected wonderful cures, bringing
health, strength and joy to the afflicted.
Another important point about Hood Is

just enough sentiment, humor and
pathos in it, and one cannot tell until

Mr.. Mccarthy has made an especial

elaborately, and has given much atten-

Reduction Of EnlIstments- Orders Issued
Athletics at the Academy.


The reduction made by the Senate to
1000 enlisted men from 1000 allowed by
the House will seriously cripple the de-
partment In commissioning ships dur
ing the next year. Secretary Herbert
states that the battle-ships. two moni-
tors and three or four cruisers, besides
one torpedo-boat and the ram Katahdin,
will be ready for service before Novem-
Der next, and that To properly man them
at least 500 men will be required.
The reduction, therefore, of 900 will
undoubtedly prevent several of these
vessels from being placed In service un-
I'll more men are authorized. Few-of
the ships now in commission have the
full complement their displacements de-
mmds, and even with the number origi-
nally allowed by the Hcuse bin it would
have been difficult To commission all the
ships now nearing completion.
