looks bettei than he has for scyera,
Years. He is decidedly opposed Ia
the plan Of fighting the Presidential
campaign IA year AHEAD Of time, ANA
thinks much ammunition - icing
wasted by democrats in y~a,ion< states.
The StateHaent i-r4sN positively
made. ana generally believed, that the
decision ot the Supreme Iou,f. which
NIL he handed down HtNt week. Will
declare the entire Mconlc tax to le
unconstitutional.
The peculiar stand taken ~ tie
British government. in ;efasjn. 10 e.
euact the regulations IN itice li~tstaf
to prevent Illegal s~ealiag in Eyalins
Sea. is harshly criticised. 1t is ii
practical notification OF all tie mtas-
urer for the protection OF the seals
which were agreed uio& al the Paris
arbitration, and may result in the
United States officially declaring the

as authority on the politics of his
state. is III Washington. Speaking Of
the situation lie said: Moth Carroll
ma. despite the revolution Of last No
vemhes. is still democratic state. and
democrats will regain its control with
ia the next two years. The coalition
between the republicans and ~lopulists
will be short lived. Already they are
t'rin@ of the fusion compact. aud
though il may bold together for one
Dore campaign, that will be the end
OF it. 1t doesn't take any prophet to
= tell that the combination. in the very
natule OF things, could not be perma-
rlnEt 4 iANr Sbp.-ita.i..1 .I,t,
who have gone - to tie fusion side
IN the hope Of spells. will be Kicking
themselves ere many days 20 rs for
deserving Their party. toH they will find
that the fellows they deserted to will
be empty handed themselves.
Every body is glad that President
Cleveland decided not to court-martial
Admiral Meade for his recent VERY in
discreet remarks in q printed news
paper interview. That he was GUILTY
OF a very serious lnfracti0n of the na-
val regulations, for which Il Young
Ell officer would have deserved severe
punishment, there IS no noubt. But
the Admiral has grown old in the ser
vice. is high-tempercd, aud has a dis.
ordered liver which makes him see
things to worry him in incidents that
Others would never hottie: therefore
ever body is glad that he will escape
with a Ieprimand, and on every hand
L. head the wish that Secretary Her

Mr.. Reed did not say what other OBJ

indications that some of them will moi
be pleasant to certain Iepuhliean=
Congressman, who, believing them.

Sitiofs under the next House. have

heard &Sout the ronSpi,acies. aud
there are reasons for the belief that
the Congressional coNspilators will
not fare well when Mt. Reed makes
up the ~c9hruittees Of the House. He
hasnt he reputation OF turning the
