REED rs. SKLvEB CRAZE.
Thomas B. Reed. the brainy ma,

Thomas B. Reed, the brainy man
who counted a quorum for business
under the theory that the people
paid members Of congress to work,
be present and vote, made speech
on the Goth nit. full of practical
points. He made a solid blow at
Bryant when he said:
1.-TWO months have slipped away
hardly time to ripen strawberry,
much less system of finance-and
there are those who tell us that all
things have changed, but these very
men who were being arrayed for de.
cent burial had burst the cerements
of the grave, and TRANSPORTED by
some new arrangement OF crowns Of
thorns and crosses of gold, were to
lead us to new happiness, and even
repair all the damage they them
selves had wrought.
"Now this may be so, but to me it
does not seem probable. Human ex-
perience in every walk of life teach
es us that those who have blundered
will blunder again and that the WIS
est course is not to employ a ship
captain who has not yet emerged
from his last shipwreck, but the safe
sailor who has never lost a ship, a
passenger or letter, but who has
sailed safe through every sea. He
may have lost masts and sails and
even been rudderless for hours, if he
has every tine come safe to shore,
better have him than all the lands
men who are forever shouting what
they can do and never dare to tell
Of what they have done. Boosters
are worth nothing. Deeds are facts
and are forever and ever. Talk dies
on the empty air. Better pound
of performance than a shipload of
language

TIE JUDGESRLP.

The placing of Judge Faulkner's
name oa the tickets for the demo.
cratic primaries, while no doubt
very complimentary, was somewhat
of a mistake. 1t was we'll known that
Judge Faulkner had no opposition,
and such actions are likely to stir
up a fight when none is necessary.
Of course, all know that the Judge
is a democrat, but it would have
been much more pleasant and COM
plimentary if it could be known that
for ono time since the war, Judge
was elected without opposition and
on his merits.

Death of Robert Garrett, Ex-President
Of the 8. & 0. r. r.


BALTIMORE, Nd, July Robert
Garrett, ex-presldent Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, died at Deer
Park, Nd, yesterday morning, at
three o'clock, aged 40 years. Though
he had been in the care of a physi-
clan for several years, his death was
quite unexpected. Five weeks ago
he left "Uplands," his country home
and went to the mountains for the
summer. He was rather weak, but
his appetite wss excellent, and his
general physical health was better
than it had been for some months.
Robert Garrett was born in Balti
more on April 9, 1847, and was
graduated at Princeton College in
1867. After travel in Europe, he
entered the clearinghouse of Robert
Garrett & Sons, founded by his
grandfather, and had there q thor
ough business training. He entered
actively into railroad work, where
he continued for sixteen years, in
1871, when he became president of
the Valley Railroad, in Virginia.
Six years later he was elected third
vice-president of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, and in 1879 first vice.
president, upon the resignation
of John King, Jr. When his father
died in September, 1884, Robert
Garrett was naturally selected as his
successor. For several months.
since the death of his mother, in
1883, he had virtually been the pres.
ident, and was elected to the posi-.
ton at the annual meeting on No
venber 20, 1884.
