CURRENT COMMENT.
MR.. REED AND THE PRESIDENCY.
(Alhany State \

III LIZ IthlLD AMI LIE 1nEClDENO L.
(Albany State.
The remoteness of the State of Maine
is the only objection against our regard
ing Thomas Brackett Reed as one of the
most formidable of the Presidential can
didates Yet it availed nothing against
James 9. Blaine's selection and New
England will not tolerate the dismissal
of Reeds claim through any geographical
accident. Reed is broad, strong man,
precedent-inaking, Speaker. and an
epoch-making Republican. His force is
centrifugal His influence is dynamic.
His personality is magnetic and irresista-
ple. In the Parliament of Great Britain
Reed would have become, ere now. one of
the central figures of Europe. Perhaps
he is one OF the ten great moral, mental
and physical giants, categorically pro-
dnced within the quarter of each century.
Practically as Speaker-elect of the next
House, Reed may be expected to improve
his exceptional chances to impress him
self upon the heart and mind, fand imag-
ination of the country. Nc man can pre-
dictate his opportunities, but every man
can estimate his advantages.

VIRGINIA FOR REED.

Wash. Cor. Baltimore Sum-
The statement is made ON good outhor-
ity that within the past week or two
there has been general agreement among
the Republicans of Virginia to support
Thomas B. Reed for the Republican
presidential nomination. This has been
done without any particular effort upon
the pant of Mr.. Reeds friends to produce
such result, and is rather the effect OF a
sentiment growing out OF the relations
which Mr.. Reed has maintained with
prominent Republicans of the state, and
will enter into, with others, as speaker
OF the next House. In fact, the senti-
ment has swept over Virginia, while those
who have been, in a measure, respon-
slble for it ,have been practically un-
conscious Of its growth. 1t now in
c)udes, it Is believed, almost all the
prominent Republican leaders and the
majority of their followers. So general
Is 1t that, Reed delegation from ths
state is thought to be assured, no mat
ter what efforts the friends of other can
didates make to prevent.

Charm and Courtesy in Letter Writing
BY Frances Bennett Galloway. (New
York Dodd. Mead & Co. From the Pub
lishers Price 81. 90. Miss Galloway,
who stands alone perhaps as an instruct
or of the art, has seen her opportunity
and has ventured to supply want which
many must keenly feel to exist. The
pleasures of letter writing have largely
disappeared for lack of that cultivation
which is so necessary to the habitual
ease and facility of correspondence. Miss
Galloway has approached her subject not
only with the tact and proficiency which
come from long experience and training,
but with literary and sympathetic spir-
it and fund of practical wisdom, sug-
gestiveness and good sense which win
and attract her readers. 1t is book for
which there is distinct field and it
would. We should think, be especially
helpful and valuable in reading circles
and among Chautauquan students :

NO BEER IN ALASKA.

The Governor Says the Establishment of
Breweries There Would BE Absurd.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-For some time
the interior department has been carry
ing on a complicated correspondence in
regard to the licensing of the manufac-
turer of beer in Alaska.
Two persons of Sitka, Miss Paulina
Cohen and R. Witt, have complied with
all the internal revenue regulations for
such work. and would have had their
breweries in operation before now but
for the refusal of Governor Sheakley to
issue the necessary permits.
The last letter in tho correspondence
shows his reasons for this refusal, the
matter resting entirely in his discretion.
He says:
"The executive order concerning the
sale of intoxicating liquors in Alaska for
medical, mechanical, and scientific pur-
poses, is of such restrictive character as
to render its operation almost impractic-
able. To license a brewery to manufac-
ture beer for these purposes in the vii
lage of Sitka, town of less than 400 in
habitants, where the beer can only be
sold on prescription of a regular prac-
ticing physician, would be absurd"
In spite of the governors argument,
Witt and Miss Cohen still desire to start
their breweries and have appealed to the
secretary of the interior. No action in
the matter has yet been made by the
latter.
