Mr.. REEDS OPPORTUNITY.

Thomas b. Reed was yesterday nom.
mated once more for congress. The
nomination was unanimous, and equiv.
alent to an election. In accepting the
nomination Mr.. Reed made a speech,
and one designed for the ear of Ameri-
can people, taken collectively. He is
one of the few great men of this nation
whose craftsmanship commands such
high respect that when he speaks there
is a general hush of attention.
Mr.. Reed is bold and vigorous de.
batter. In congress he won the leader.
ship by always aiming straight at the
bulls eye. Yesterday he referred to
the fact that two months ago every
body conceded that the Republicans
were sure winners, while now "there
are those who tell us that all things
have changed, that these very men who
were being arrsyed for decent burial
had burst the cerements of the grave,
and TRANSPORTED by some new arrange
ment OF crowns, thorns, and crosses of
gold, were to lead us to new happi-
ness, and even repair all the damages
they themselves had wrought"
Mr.. Reed then proceeds to discuss
free silver and expose the fallacy of it.
His argument is clear and unanswer.
able, but it falls far short of meeting
the requirements of the case. The
change of the last two months is not
due to the adoption of the free silver
policy by the Democracy. That of it.

The secret of the transformation
must be sought and fought in the false
Interpretation put upon the st. Louis
platform, The financial plank of that
platform, as a matter Of fact, commits
the party to precisely the same mone-
tary policy as that laid down by con-
gress In the Sherman act of 1880 and

government is and always has been TO
"such safe system of bimet. |
allism as viii maintain at all times the |
equal power of every dollar coined or
issued by the United States in the
markets and in the payment of debts"
That, we repeat, is the Republican doc.
srine, as laid down in st. Louis, but
the Democrats thought they saw in the
use of the phrase maintain the pres.
snt gold standard" a chance to make
he people think that the Republicans
propose TO demonetize silver and adopt
he single gold standard. Therein, and
herein only, is found the explanation
" this bursting of cerements.

Republican success let him come to the

OLD HAvDEN nI1s TIE Mack.


We doubt If any speech will be made
that will go straighter to the heart of
the question than that which colOred
man who calls himself Old Hayden,
and as such is affectionately regarded
by the members of the Thirteenth
Ward Republican Club, made at the
ratification meeting. Hayden was a
slave until he was over 30 years of age;
he can not read or write, and is not a
polished orator; but he knows a few
things and says them forcibly.
What he said was in this wise:
"The white gentlemen who have
talked before me have told you about
sound money. / don't know much
about money; amt hardly seen none
since the Dimycrats cut down the tar
lit and the wages, and made all kinds
of work scarce. But its old Hayden's
opinion that there amt no money that
isn't sound, unless its counterfeit. A
greenbaek's sound money, and SOS
silver dollar, and SOS a five dollar gold
piece. And the Republican party
made EN- sound. 1 don't care nothing
about your currency plank. What l
care about is work; when there is
plenty of work there is plenty Of mon.
ey-and it's sound moneg when you 90

protection means plenty of work, plen.
ty of money. They tell me that Old
Hayden must turn Dimyerat now.
cause the Republicans is for gold mon
ey. Well, amt seen no gold money
for long time; If they is going to paw
me in gold it's all right-iess as soon
take gold as silVer-but 1 can't get
neither gold nor silver without work
The Republican platform says. "Give
Old Hayden work"-that's what it |
says. That's what protection means
when Harrison was president and |
the Mckinley bill was in force Old |
Hayden didn't have an idle minute. |

The OLDEST LOCK.



The very oldest lock in existence In
one which formerly secured one Of the
doors of palace of Ninevth. Ii is a Ri-
gantic affair, and the key t. il, which ia
as large rs one ms.4 can conveniently
carry, reminds one of the Scriptural pas
sage where the prophet makes reference

This enormous key to the 10 * from

and OF the thickness of four inch drain

ed chamber, where a large wooden door
had probably once stood, the gigantic
brass hinges and heavy bars being still
in fair condition, though somewhat cor
roded- This relic OF the oldcn times has
but few points of resemblance to the
keys of modern manufacture, or even to
those Of the early part of the Christian
era The tubular idea had never been
thought out in those days, but the key
is fearfully and wonderfully made, be-
ing equally rs intricate piece Of ma
chinery as the lock i'll which il was
used A great many of the bars and
pegs in the lock are believed TO have
been made Of wood. as their places are
now empty. The notches and pegs in
the key, however, show that there were
corresponding pegs and bars in the lock
at one time The great lateral iron lars
at the end Of the key, with their COM
plicated series Of notcheS, crossbars,
bumps, etc, are proof that the lock was
once similarly provided This being the
case, it is reasonable TO suppose that nc
one time tine door to that palace could
not have been opened until the key had
been inserted and the impediment TO
the drawing back Of the bolt removed
by raising up so many bars and pins
which had fallen down into their places
upon the key having been withdrawn.
