publican opposition to continuance of
the present civil service situation. These
republicans believe in real civil service re-
form, but not in the sham article for which
Mr.. Cleveland is responsible, which cover
ed with the protecting cloak of civil SER
vice reform, thousands Of democrats who
entered the public service by the dis
missal of repn blicans, for no other cause
than their republicanism. Reduced to
what they consider its legitimate func-
ton, every one of these repu blican repre-
sentatives would vote for continuance of
the civil service law, but rather than see it
continued in its present shape, they will
work for it's repeal or crippling in any
manner within their power, and they will
not lack for staunch supporters among the
rank and file of the party throughout the
country.
If this isn't the short business session
of congress that it ought to be, the re-
publican leaders of the House are fully
determined that no blame shall be laid at
their doors. Since the first day of the
session they have been hustling. Last
week the Pension Appropriation bill was
reported and passed, and this week the
legislative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill will be put through. The
disposal of two of the regular appropria-
tion bills before the Christmas recess will
be record of which the republicans of
the House may well feel proud.
A little thing like fact never bothers
those who lie through choice When
Senator Hoar presented the petition of
some native HaWaiians, against annexa-
ton, to the Senate, the liars all rushed
statement off that Senator Hoar was the
champion of the petitioners and intended
to fight annexation. Now, where do you
suppose Senator Hoar got that petition?
From Secretary Sherman, one of the
staunchest advocates of annexation. It
was taken to the State department. by the
Hawaiians, and Mr.. Sherman told them he
would have it laid before the Senate,
which had the treaty under consideration,
asking Senator Hoar, as member of the
committee on foreign relations, to present
it. Every day senators present petitions
with which they have no sympathy, and
nothing is said about it, but in this case
the paid lobbyists lied in order to i'm
press their employers with the idea that
they were earning their pay.

THE GREA TEST LIVING
AMERICAN.

America has many able and brainy
men in public life, but none so really
able, really great as Thomas B. Reed
of Maine. Mr.. Reed did not get the
republican nomination for president
at the last election, but American
history affords several instances
where greatness has failed to attain
its highest ambition. A Washington
journal, speaking of the leaders of the
present congress says:
| Foremost is Thomas Bracket Reed
of Maine. This distinguished states
man is respected by his foes and
greatly feared byhis friends. OF his
intellectual capacity, it must be said
that he resembles his physique. large,
broad and expansive. Mr.. Reed has
been accused of many things; they
have called him car, usurper, a
tyrant, and have tried to paint him as
a general all round hideous creature:
when the facts are such that to know
Tom Reed is indeed pleasure. His
vast learning, executive ability and
absolute fea-lessness make him the
master mind of the republican party.
AIR. Reed has absolutely no respect
for the opinion and theories of
minority. His philosophy is that the
people have spoken and the duty of
the majority is to carry out that
verdict. The opposition of the mi
nority members TO any proposition
that Mr.. Reed sees fit to put through
congress, is to him only cloud of
smoke, for he never hesitates to go
right through all the thunderclaps of
opposition wrath, knowing as he does
the foolishness of catering to their
whims. Reed is a man of purpose and
action, all Of which is the outgrowth
of thought based upon partisanism.
He is a party man, and mighty as
such, and the republican party has
not in its ranks any man in public
life to equal him III audacity and exc
cution of what he believes to be the
best interest of his party. Personal
ly Mr.. Reed is one of the best natured,
jolly good fellows known in Washing
ton. He has a rich vein Of New Eng
land wit and the many terse COM
ments that he makes exhibit the
magnitude of his grasp upon questions
of state.
During the extra session of con-
gress Mr.. Reed proved himself to be
the master of both the majority and
the minority. Upon the republican
side of the house there was the silence
which indicates fear among it's mem
Oers, and if there is any great ability |
among the republican members of
-he 55th congress it certainly has
never staggered the country, and it is
not anticipated that Mr.. Reed pro-
poses to admit these aspiring states
men to become intimately acquainted |
With that looking glass that reflects
he magnitude of brilliant minds.
Thomas Bracket Reed is the whole
republican party of congress and in
many respects the whole House of
representatives., and is apt to remain
20 until a greater one succeeds him,
,r the present system of house rules
s changed.

One thing which doubtless contrib
uted largely to the defeat of the Re
publicans in the New York City and
State elections, was the great hue and
cry against the Raines liquor law
which the Republicans evaded and
democrats denounced. Sometimes a
party reaches the greatest strength
when it excites the prejudice of the
Incorporate and viscious, who are en-
listing the power of the beer maker
and the rumseller against any
thing that makes for sobriety and
happiness. Official report shows,
however, that "the new law brought
to the city treasury 1900, 00C more
than the old law, while the reduction
of saloons was 1900, and this ratio the
lowest in the city's history" These
causes and facts seemed sufficient to
make the law hateful to many.

The most intensely interesting people
OF the world just at this moment are the
millions OF famine and plague stricken
India. But little is known Of this region
by the people of the United States. Such
reports as come to us are the things
seen through British glasses. What has
been the effect OF British rule in India /?
Why these terrible famines? Why
plaques? Julian Hawthorne has been
sent by the Cosmopolitan Maya
zine to India to obtain answers to these
questions at first hand and depict the
situation as it appears to an American.
The March Cosmopolitan contains the
first of what is probably the most impor-
tant series of articles ever presented in
this magazine. Nothing has been pub

the larger operations OF business-at least
nothing by the class Of men fitted for
such work by thorough familiarity with
the subjects of which they write. The
