A correspondent having asked the
Butte Miner why it praised Speaker
Reed, who is an enemy of free silver.
answered: Speaker Reed is an enemy
of silver, but so is every other Repub-
lican in the United States. The Repub-
lican party is the open foe of free coin
age. 1t stands on record as the enemy
of every step in the direction of bimet-
allism. 1t says that it believes that the
free coinage of silver would ruin the
country. 1t stands up for the Roths-
childs and saws TO the common people
that they have no rights which the
millionaires are bound to respect
Mark Hanna recognized these facts
when he stood up as the representative
of the Republican party, but he was a
mere novice COMPARED with the car
who stood I'D in the house of repre-
sentatives and made the people bow
down before him. Speaker Reed is the
Republican of Republicans, and if the
party had been as just as it is corrupt
it would have placed him in the presi-
Dental chair" Whatever may be said
of Reed it cannot be denied that he is
great man. If there is such a thing
in politics as logic. Reed should have
been the logical candidate of his party
at ST. Louis.

THE AGONY Is OVER.


Corbett, the champion and pugilistic
pride of the American people, has met
the enemy, Fitzsimmons, and is his
All the agony of suspense and expecta-
ton is over. 1t is well that it is over,
and it is we'll that it ended as it did.
That time in the career of the cham
pion when the best interests of all de-
manded that he should be put out, -
had arrived. He had become arrogant
and insolent and repealed men by his
arrogance and insolence. He deserved
and got a licking. Glory, But he was
not always a hired batterer, a savage
beast. Once he was a public benefac-
tor; it was when he licked Sullivan,
who had reached the pinnacle of pugil-
istic fame and had become the terror
of little newsboys. He also performed
a public service when he whipped the
mouthy Mitchell. Nor will it be long
before Fitzsimmons' head will swell to
such dimensions that he, too, will have
to be put to sleep that the round red
head may become natural in size once
more. And all this is as it should be.
And what shall be said of each ex-
champion? "Superfluous lags the
veteran on the stage"

John Reese, of Greggsville, the

Grisf-coronsr sshuitIe will Go Out.

A terrible accident occurred late yes
terday afternoon, about q mile from
Greggsvllle, a short distance east of
Wheeling, resulting in the death Of
John Reese, we'll known young man of
Greggsville, a son of John Reese, ST.,
owner of a peddling coal bank at
Greggsville. Though young Reese was
Killed by another man, his companion
on hunting expedition, aside from
what could perhaps be termed careless
ness, the young man was biameless,
and the result OF the coroner's inquiry
Will no doubt develop that fact
From what could be learned of the
particulars OF the tragedy last night, 1t
appears that Edward GUNNER, young
man who lives with his parents at S6OS
Wood street, South Side, and Sam Det-
wIler nephew of Jake Detwller, the
South Wheeling salOonist, went out to
Greggsville In the morning to join
Gummer's friend, John Reese, jr., for 4
days hunt In the woods near that VII
lage. They were out during the morn
Ing and afternoon, and nothing was
heard OF the pair until about 4'SO In the
afternoon, when GUNNER returned to
GreggsvilIe, almost crazed by grief and
told people whom he met that there had
been an accident and that young Rees
had been killed.
The tragedy occurred about mile
from Gregasville, on Pole Cat run. The
young men were resting under a tree,
GUNNER ACCOMPLISHMENTS thegun
came down prematurely. There was an
explosion and an agonized shrek and
Reese fell to the ground. His death was
all but instantaneous, his only utterance
being the words, II am dying" Gum
mer Immediately started for GTeggs-
Vile to tell of the tragedy,
When GUNNER arrived in GFeggsville,
with the story OF the accident, a num-
Der of persons went to the spot with
him and at o'clock brought the body
to Reeses parents home. Coroner
Schultze was TO have gone out to hold
an inquest last night, but later decid-
ed to defer that formality until this
morning. Mr.. GUNNER came to town
on the o'clock motor.
Mr.. GUNNER went 10 Coroner
Schultze's office, on the South Side, soon
after his arrival in town, having first
notified Lieutenant Ciemans, OF the city
police force, but under the clrcum-
stances It was not deemed proper to
arrest the young man, simply because
no had committee no crime. Coroner
schultze took Gummer's deposition,
which was in effect that he and Sam
Detwiler had gone TO the country on the
o'clock motor yesterday mornIng,get-
ting off at Altenhelm, and going thence
to GregGsville, where he met his friend,
John Reese, the younger. and the three
started for the woods with the intention
OF spnding the day in hunting. In the
afternoon they sat under tree, and as
they got up to start for home, GUNNER
stumbled and his gun exploded, the
charge entering Reese's head at the
right side. Reese fell and expired al
most Immediately, his only words being
