Left the PIncc for Their One

CARSON CITY, New. March 1S.-AlI the
special trains left last night. taking home
the San Francisco crowd and most of the
Eastern people TO Reno. where they made
connection with this mornings train for
Denver and Omaha. The regular trains
north and south this morning took away
the remaining visitors-those from Nevada
towns-and Carson has resumed its normal
condition. The majority of the people are
glad that the fights were held here. as the
visitors left a large amount of money.
The hotels. boarding houses. restaurants,
livery stables and gambling houses got
about all OF il, but the storekeepers, in adj
dition TO the profits from the little trade
they had. will ultimately receive "A large
portion of IL. so they. too. are pleased.
The ministers and their congregations are
the only ones who feel any chagrin. and
speak OF the disgrace brought upon Carson
by entertaining a lot of pugilists and their
friends and admirers.
The fakirs have disappeared. having gone
away with the shell men and the wheel of
fortune. but the gambling houses are open
as usual. having dropped back TO their
customary games. The sports from abroad
patronized them night and day. but, IL Is
said. did not a k home with them much
of the capital.

SPEAKER THOMAS B. REED.
He Is Needed as a Brake to Check
Reckless Legislation
Philadelphia Press.


OF course, Thomas b. Reed is the unan-
imous candidate of the Republicans for the
speakership in the new Congress which
meets tomorrow. OF course. he was nonl-
mated last night by reclamation There
was no competitor and there could be none
There was no other thought and no room
for any other thought. Mr.. Reed is primate
in the House just as Mount Washington is
primate of its whole range-beCause he is
the biggest and tallest of the group.
There have been some mutterings of oh
lection rather than of opposition. There are
some men who want a ruler who does not
rule and a speaker who does not speak any
thing but yes. They resent Mr.. Reeds
placid and serene but twenty-ton power OF
shaking his head and saying no They
broad and brawny hand calmly resting on
them. but want him TO take it off and let
them go as they please. This would give
1t would permit a billion Congress TO be-
come a biliion and a hundred million Con-
gress. But Mr.. Reed, who stands at once
as a brake and a pilot. has his Gown notions
of public policy and his own way of entorc-
ing them. and in that way he Is so strong
and masterful. so regnant and Irresistible,
that the feeble muttering dies away IN a
unanimous chorus of
Mr.. Reed is so great a debater that no
one who admires superb parliamentary
fence can fail TO miss him from the floor
and TO regret sometimes that he Is not
there 10 illuminate discussion with the
ness with the bolts of his logic. But he Is
so much more powerful and useful as
speaker that men consent 10 DE ueprlNeu
of the joy of his debate for the advantage
of his captainship. With the transforms
ton which has been gradually going on the
speaker has come to exercise almost un-
limited power. He not only holds the reins
over the House in the pathway II takes.
but he does very much to decide what
pathway IL shall follow. He Is almost as
great a power in legislation as the Presi-
dent is in administration. Through his
committees and his autocracy under the
rules. through eyes that see only what ne
wants TO see and ears that hear only what
he wants TO hear he is well nigh absolute
For this work Mr.. Reed has supr' me
genius. His overtowering intellectual force
is united with overtowering will and de-
termination. He is a born ruler OF men,
What is still better. his power has been ex-
ercised with the Conscientious purpose 10
serve the public interests. He has realized
his responsibility and has risen 10 its. de-
mands. He has imposed restraints where
some men wanted freedom; he has sup
pressed undertakings which chafed under
the control. but his strong hand has been
laid down for the most part with as much
Judgment as frmness. and this is why the
country rejoices to see him remain In the
sneakers chair.
