The Rewards of Public Life,

1t Is one of the unpleasant anomalies
Of Republican institutions that as a
rule--to which of course there are con-
spicuous eXceptions-men worthy of
continuance in public life are too poor
to afford political honors, while men
wealthy enough to afford them seldom
possess the requisite qualifications for
them. That men who serve the public
honestly and with singleness of pur-
pose in posts of prominence in the ma
tional government often find difficulty
in living within their none too ample
incomes, and that the talent and in
dustry which they exhibit in this large
ly thankless service of the public Of
ten would, If utilized in the private and
more selfish battle for business or pro-
fessional advancement, bring to them
and to their families comforts and even
wealth far in excess of the honest pos
sibilities Of public endeavor have been
proved over and over again.
This line of thought is suggested at
this time by a renewal of the gossip,
now somewhat more plausible than
heretofore, which credits Speaker Reed
with the desire to retire from public
life next March if not permanently at
least for an interval of private money!
making under circumstances which
can excite no question as to his probity
and freedom from corruption. Says the
Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Times-Herald, to whose usually
accurate pen we are indebted for the
latest presentation of this interesting
rumor:
1t Is well known to the Intimate friends
OF Mr. Reed that after the Fifty-iirst con-
gress when he retired from the speakers y
chair, he seriously contemplated the i'd
of resigning from congress and resumirg Z
the active work of his profession. 1t Is
also known that Mrs. Reed would be glad
to see him leave public life. Mr.. Reed Is
poor man. He has one daughter, a very
charming and talented girl of aboii is
and he IL naturally anxious 10 provide for
her. The speaker will be over 81 years
old when this congress expires, although
his wonderful physique and magnificent
vitality convey the impression that he IL
considerably younger. He is aware that II
he Is to make money he has not much
more time to lose. His friends feel sure
that In few years he will be one Of the

The WOman's Paper.

1t will, we think, be generally admit
ted by all who have read our woman
Paper" that, in both quality and ar
rangement. it far exceeds expectations.
There does not seem to have been
single serious omission from the list OF
articles that aim to chronicle the ad-
vantagies which residence in Scianton
offers from an intellectual, an artistic.
a social a religious and phlanthropic
standpoint The only regret which
arises in connection with the enter
prise Is that its interesting contents
should in the natural order of news
paper longevity, so soon be doomed to
destruction. They would be well wor-
thy of permanent preservation in book
form.
Apart from the financial success of
the undertaking-not yet fully deter
mined but at all events enough to form
a tidy nucleus for the Scranton Young
Women's Christian associations new
building fund-the Woman's Paper re-
veals an intellectual standard among
the women of Scranton which cannot
fail to inspire among their brothers and
husbands and men friends renewed and
augmented admiration. 1t may be that
we ought not to confess to Il feeling of
agreeable surprise over such an admir-
able vindication of our community's
mental possibilities; it may be that the
polite course would be to take all this
complacently for granted-but frank
ness compeis the confession that our
perusal of the Woman's Paper was at
tended at every point with a sense of
the unexpected, with kind of shame
faced consciousness that heretofore we
had rated too modestly the capabilities
Of the papers originators; and we sus-
pect that our experience in this direc-
tiOn had plenty of parallels.
But be that as it may, it is only fair
to take this opportunity of voicing the
general commendation which the novel
venture has elected; and of adding, on
The Tribune's behalf. a hope that the
completion of yesterdays special edi-
tion will not mark the end of the pleas
ant interest which the women of Scran-
ton have lately taken in local Journal
ism.

We do not anticipate that Mr.. Reed

stronger that he will be called by the
public he has so well served, to yet
higher position of trust and honor,
position which his robust personality
and marked gifts of intellect will re-
store to its old-time but lately lost
dignity as the second highest position
in the republic. At the same time, the
foregoing citation presents a tempta-
ton often present to public men who
would scorn to stoop to questionable
methods of increasing their worldly
possessions, and reveals a condition of
affairs difficult to remedy. Talk as we
may-and do. these days-about the
rifeness of jobbery and corruption at
the national capital, there yet are meny
sincere and devoted men in public life
who do not permit themselves, directly
or indirectly, to be bought on bridled;
who give the time for which the people
all too stingily pay them wholly and
willingly to the people; and who, in
consequence, after years of faithful and
honest service, are liable to he beached
by a turn in the political tide with
scarcely dollar saved against that
contingency.
For men like these public life holds
out, at best, only II poor prospect of re-
ward. The only consolation in view for
them is that they as a rule are men so
great as to be nearly as men in this
practical age can be, above the need of
