SPEAKER REED.

Speaker Thomas B. Reed OF
Maine, has the reputation of being
a very arbitrary and a very able
man. Although the leading Re
publican in Congress, he hits his
Republican friends some hard
raps. He has recently contributed
to the Press, an article on "Pros-
perity," which bristles with points.
In getting at the present condition
OF things, he says of the great ma
tlonal movements, 1--WE are much
In the dark as to the action of great
bodies of men. Nevertheless,
there is reason to believe that man
kind as mass acts by determinate
laws, the courses and directions of
which we are every day more and
more finding out"
This rule, or principle of action,
so clearly put by Mr.. Reed, is pre-
cisely the one which the Adver-
tiser has attempted, for several
years, to declare and illustrate, as
in operation in the annexation
movement. That it was not hap
hazard affair. That the sentiment
of the people of the United States,
in its favor, was one of gradual
growth, and that growth was as
much subject to law, as the growth
of shrub or a tree.
For doing so, this paper has
been soundly abused; what? do
you mean to say that the people
of the United States cannot make
up their minds right off, and an
mex us? Traitorp The idea
seems to be that if public opinion
Is not ripe, all you have to do is,
to bury it in the ground several
days just as children bury a green
banana, and then kick off the dirt
and take it out ripe, and ready to
eat.
We do not claim that Mr.. Reeds
opinions have, or could have, any
force in this community, but they
do have very considerable force in
because he ranks as a
very acute thinker, and has
the reputation of telling the truth,
even If it is an ugly truth. While
the majority of his Republican
friends say that the prosperity of
the country is due mostly to the
new tariff. Mr.. Reed does not
hesitate to say, that it is due most
ly to the change in business CON
ditions, and he, in his article, shows

inscribes for the unborn millions
the fact that 'she must have lunch
con in the middle of the day." He
has nothing to say about the eX-
Queens luncheon. As a seafarm-
ing he wanted to say "lobscouse
at eight bells" He says that when
this hour arrived, it was the wish
and order of "Her Majesty" that
the betting should instantly be
thrown off the wheels of the Royal
Court machinery, and silence reign
and no business be transacted until
his luncheon was finished with the
consumption of a quart of "swipes"
of the make of 1894.
AT 9 p. M, Capt. Palmer tells
the world, he was allowed to retire,
and in the sweet restoration of
sleep, gather strength to prosecute
those comprehensive schemes,
which would make his name i'm
mortal.
The reporter finally pressed the
Captain on the delicate question,
whether or not, his profound ad-
miration had not passed into an
attachment" which might
might not be mutual. The report
er went too far. The chivalry of
he Captains nature, reinforced by
he judicious use of ''swipes" re-
used to open the gates behind
which will the caverns in which
lept the ambitious hopes of his life,
mid coils of rope and gallons of
whale oil. If he 1oved a Queen" j..

the operation of general laws
through all the commercial panics.
Here, as in America, there are
men who know nothing about, and
do not care about the operation of
laws. They want things ito be
done right off" They wish Pro-
violence to whisper in their ears,
my dear sir, only tell me what
you want, and you shall have it.
And, when we tell them of the
working of the laws that Speaker
Reed refers to, they cry out, ''Ohl
bother laws, we must have intsant
action, and the man who whoops
it up for instant action is the man
for u.s."

Speaker Reed does not have
much confidence in the most of his
fellow citizens. He says, 'men
and nations and the whole civilized
part of the race go from one ex-
IRENE to the other" 1t is so. in
all things. He advices business
men, to let the business world set
tie itself, and to carefully keep,
meanwhile, the medicine men of
finances, with their feathers and
their rattles out of the way"
Having now the written opinion
OF one of the most prominent Re
in favor of our position,
we shall be able to bear with more
fortitude, the adverse criticism of
those who believe that political
events are like radishes, all you
have to do is to plant them, and

Let lis Say ..Telepheme.n

A new word is needed to express a
new fact in our daily life. Science
brings many things, and new relations
arise that must he defined in language.
Thus came the telegraph. In that
case Greek gave the name for both the
instrument and its product. We say
telegraph for the instrument and tele-
gram for the message.
More recently the far.talker has been
put into our hands. The word "tele-
phone" was readily invented, and rs
ready adopted. No word has been
suggested as a suitable term to express
the telephone message.
The word required in this case is tel
epheme The first two syllables are
derived from the Greek "telos," mean.
ing a distance. The third syllable,
pheme, is from "phem" meaning,
speak, or say. The sense Of "tele'

fact of our daily experience. Besides

The Grand Opera.

Marietta does not often have granc
opera on the boards of her theatre, bu
last night was one of the few times She
has had the opportunity TO listen tc
the exalted art. The De Pasquali Com
.pany has but four people in their caste,
but these four handle their work with
out serious breaking of connections for
lack of numbers.
Signor De Pasquali the tenor, has
robust voice of great range, and he has
the fire and grace of an actor. His
wife, the soprano, is wonderfully
pleasant woman to listen to. She has
a light soprano voice, as clear and heX-
ible as that of bird. Her rendition
of the Ave Maria was beautiful, and
the audience was granted an encore.
Mr.. Shonert, the pianist, contributed
largely to the success of the entertain
ment
The audience that gathered to hear
the opera was small one, but it thor
oughly enjoyed the evening.
