SPEAKER REED.

Inc greatest man in many ways in
American public life today. Thomas
Bracket. Reed win preside over the Ge-
l1berstions of the House in Pres
idend MoKlnley's new Congress,
having just been unanimously nominat-
ed and elected for that office by the Re-
pubiicans-a natural tribute to his great
ness. For sometime past certain news
papers hayelDeen industriously at work
circulating stories to the effect that
there was really doubt of Mr.. Reed S
succeeding himself as Speaker although
it is fact that no real doubt of his re-
election has for an instant existed. Of
course Mr., Reed has his enemies, many
of them bitter ones and some Of them in
the halls of Congress By their recital
of their personal grievances against the
Speaker. they have furnished the fuel
which certain peopls hays endeavored to
kindle into red blazs. Like sulphur
match on windy day, when ignited it
sputtered moment and went out!
The opposition to Mr.. Reed in the
House has come from three sources:
From green members, ignorant of Con-
gressional custom and procedure, pulled
up with ideas Of their own greatness as a
result of sudden and oftentimes acci-
dental election to Congress, who sinart
because they are not given an INN ediate
opportunity to dazzle "a long suffering
and benighted nation" with the eleotri-
| cal illumination of their newly discov-
cred craftsmanship.
Second, from self seeking men of small
abilities who always look with jealousy
if not regret, upon the great success of
another. and who with entire consistency,
conscious of their own inability to reach
such goal, view with envy the lofty
height where MIR. Reed has climbed BIZ
transcendant abilities
Third. from class of really able and
honora BILE men who lack 1.-THE power OF
yielding gracefully to policy impera-
tive for the general veal if the yielding
compels the sacrifice of some measure In
which they or their constituency have an
especial interest.
1t is practically from these three
sources that the little flames OF opposi-
tion to Mr. Reed for the Speakershir
have sprung up and sputtersd moment,
only to be quickly and effectnally extin.
guished by the irresistible current OF
statesmanlike courage and performance
which has Won for the Speaker the graft
tude of nation and the admiration OF
the world. The nation had already
chosen MIR. Reed for the Speakership
the caucus but ratified the country q
choice.
Every particle of this opposition alluded
to is but an added tribute to his states
manship and courage.
There is one rare trait in the make
up of Thomas B. Reed-not too common
in our political life. His friends are
proud of 1t and his enemies admire it.
In the whole course of quarter OF O
century of public life Mr.. Reed has yet
to espouse q cause for personal gain al
the expense of the country's welfare OF
the public purse.

In his inaugural President Mckinley
says ST do not sympathize with the SEN
timent that Congress in session is dan
gerous to our business interests. Its
members are the agents.of the people and
their presence at the seat Of government
In the execution of the sovereign will,
should not operate as an injury, but e
benefit" A rare opportunity is now
afforded the present Congress, now con-
yeued in extraordinary session, to give a
striking example of the verify of this
statement, and that they will do so, is
the very earnest wish Of a patient and
long suffering people.

their intentions to assess the franchise

in this State whether owning property

This catches the Southern Pacific

Board will demand of it 5212 cents
yearly on every 500 of a franchise
valued up in the millions.
