MIR. REEDS POLICY.

II Speaker Reeds address in the Re-
publican caucus of the members of the
House foreshadows the policy of the
party leaders in that body, that policy
will meet with very general approval
and will greatly strengthen the conf
dence of the country In the patriotic
purpose and wisdom Nof Republican
Statesman ship The declaration of Mr..
Reed that at is our first and greatest
duty, to do all that we can to restore
confidence to business will. of itself,
tend to inspire confidence. The promi-
nent leaders of the Republican party
in Congress are in close touch with the
business and industrial interests Of the
country. Confidence has been growing
ever since the election of November,
1894, because it's verdict was the death
knell to the free-trade movement. The
Speaker recognizes the impossibility of
general tariff legislation along Repub-
lican lines so long as Mr.. Cleveland is
President Therefore he has declared
against such line Of action because it
would beAa waste of time and would
defer the relief of the treasury. A few
measures can be tried in that direction.
but the Speaker undoubtedly expressed
the general sentiment of the country
when he said that it is impolitic for
the Republican House to waste it's time
upon measure which the President will
not permit to become a law. The Speak
er, however. gives the President a hint
that his interference will not be per-
mitted by this as ii was by the last
House in framing revenue bills. For the
Republican House the Speaker declares
that 1t will be ready at all times to
furnish adequate revenue for the govern
ment, but of the sources of that revenue
the House will be it's own judge. be-
cause that is it's constitutional preroga-
tive. In this expression the Speaker
makes it very clear that the first duty
of the House is to provide ample reve-
nues to lift the treasury out of the bot
tomless pit of deficit into which Demo-
cratic incapacity has plunged it. II the
House shall proceed along the conserva-
tive lines which the Speaker indicates
1T will commend itself To the country.

THE sPEAkERsHIP AND THE PRES
IDENCY.

The election of Mr. Reed to the speak
ership of the new House of Representa-
tives was foregone conclusion. His
ity and his previous experience made
the selection proper and Inevitable. 1t
is fortunate for the party that the action
of the Republicans in this regard has
been unanimous. and will be heartily APP
proved by Republicans everywhere.
Mr.. Reed will take the position some-
what handicapped by the fact that he is
an avowed aspirant for the presidency.
There is a political tradition that the
speakership does not lead to the White
House.. but 1t is not altogether well
founded. 1t is true that Henry Clay.

Mr. Blaine, who was elected three times.
both failed to reach the higher position.
but James X. Folks who served two
terms. was afterward elected President.
though he was not candidate nor even
thought of for President when he was
elected Speaker
Probably the greatest danger that be-
sets an aspirant for the presidency who
becomes Speaker of the House Is the
temptation to form the committees or
control the action of the House in his
own interest. OF course this would be
highly improper as well as dangerous,
but as human nature is constituted the
temptation does exist. II Mr.. Reed Is
wise he will not yield to it. and there Is
no reason to believe that he will. In
deed, he is said to have repealed every
suggestion Of the kind. To friend who
made such a suggestion he is reported
to have said: 81 shall do nothing of
the sort l shall appoint no man. and
shall pass over no man because Of any
thing that may happen in the future
or of any relation which that man might
have to the future. I shall hope to APP
point the committees so that they may
work for the best interest of all the peo-
ple.
Mr.. Reed probably knows that he
serves his party best who serves his
country best. and that the best service
he can render the Republican party
and himself is to try and organize and
control the House for the benefit of the
whole country. The Republican party is
bigger than any one man. and the coun-
try is bigger than the party.

DO NOT PAY FOR THE DIGGING.

A recent crop report issued by the
Agricultural Department at Washing
ton says: 1.-The most serious complaint
of the potato grower this year is the
low price OF the product The report
from the departments agent for Wis
consin and Minnesota represents that in
the latter State the tubers do not pay
for the digging" The potato crop is
not relatively as important in Indiana as
IT Is in some other States. vet II is of
very considerable Importance. Farmers
did not have TO wait for the Official an
partment that the price OF the product
this year is so low as to leave little or
no profit. but as the same is true OF
most other farm crops and of live stock,
they have not found special ground of
complaint In regard to potatoes. In an
era Of Cleveland prices for all farm
products there is no ground for COM
plant in one case more than another.
1t does not seem to have occurred to
the Secretary OF Agriculture that in call
ing attention to the low price OF potatoes
he would furnish a new ground OF con-
trast between the promises and perform
ances of the Democratic party. One OF
the stock arguments OF the party press
and leaders In 1892. and one that doubt
less had considerable weight, was that
the value OF all farm crops would be en-
