Enouqh to Make Ones Tendrils Relax.


We are not sure that We love Hon.
Thomas b. Reed as fondly as we once
lid He SIN has our respect and admira-
ion, but we seem to miss some ingred-
eut OF warmth and tenderness III the
feeling with which we now regard him.
II caused us both sorrow and surprise
o make this discovery. We had thought
chat nothing could impair our affection
for Mr. Reed But the truth may as well
be told. We Do not love him as we did.
Mr.. Reed has not been kind TO Hon.
Jerry Simpson. He allowed the honor
able Jerry TO frisk and sport about for
several days. to wag his tail half of and
BARK. and double on his tracks like any
thing. and then. ali Of 4 sudden. without
A word of warning. he pulled the string
ana instantaneously transformed the
joeund undulating. and vociferous Simp-
son into Il limp and silent vision Of
Inertia. 1t was not fair. 1t was not
merciful. Simpson is a thing of gracious
ness and joy. He was not made for the
rude buffets of the world. He is the gos-
samer that bathes and floats in sunshine.
He is the iris on the ring doves bur-
nished epaulette He is the cadence of
the fairys song. He is anything and
everything Of melody and grace. lie is
light airy, tuneful, brisk. chock fun of
JOY and frolic Innocence. Why should
big Tom Reed have swung that great
Beotian club To crush so bright and
beauteous a buttcrfly2
And. now that Simpson is called in, so
TO speak, what does Mr.. Reed propose to
give us for amusement? What is the
House doing, anyhow. to commend itself
10 the gratitude of the American people?
Mr.. Simpson has been sat upon. and. pro-
ieeting from either margin of The speak
er's superintendent mass, one discerns
the tips of two fine quivcring ears and
the points Of 4 pair of lifeless patent
leather shoes. 1t is the end of Simpson
No more shall we revel in those artless
antics. no more drink in the music of
that joyous noise. But what compensa-
ton does Mr.. Reed propose? What are
we to have instead of the merrimcnt now
quenched forever? He has taken Smp-
son from us: silenced. crushed elm
mated him. What next? Is this 10 be
the end of things? If so. Mr. Reed is no
longer the object of our love From this
moment we untwine the tendrils of our
'heart that for SO long have coiled about
his Brobdignagian form, and give them
to another.

Between the Devil and the Deep Sea.

The tariff, which the country fer
vently hoped could he put in some per-
manent form by the 55th Congress, is
laboring between Scylla Jones and
Charybdis Stewart, or to be palmer, the
devil and the deep sea. In this in
stance both these perils rise up out of
arid wastes of that ro-pugilistic blot
on statehood Nevada by name. Jones
is for free silver, also for tariff that
may suit the peculiar notions of his
particular friends. Stewart is for free
silver though the heavens fall and
other people prefer to catch larks. AS
for the tariff he is thought to prefer the
protectionist variety, but long ago
came to the conclusion that a tariff. a
revenue, the payment of debts. flood
all depend on free and unlimited coin
age of the silver controlled by the
great silver trust of which Stewart is
by no means insignificant factor. So
while Jones says / will not trig the
wheels of tariff legislation with silver
bullion, provided you give me what I
want, Stewart brings on the trigs and
announces that he proposes to use
them. If Jones, Kyle. Pritchard, Shoup,
Tiller. Wilson and Wolcott will all uni

Stewards free silver rider well and

declared that they would not en-
barIass the measure with their none
tary views. If so well and good and
they are entitled to credit along with
thanks. But it will be remembered
that Jones was one of this number
and we have already been afforded some
idea of the payment he proposes to ex-
! act. Now If all these various silver
men exact equal tribute with Jones the
result at best is scarcely likely to be
completely satisfactory. And if their
requests are not needed, why there il
