times and in several places at once.
A lot of pressed straw stored in the

must have gone up in smoke. Mr. Hall,
who was clearing up around the house
on Thursday, says the Piscataquis OBJ
server, burned some brush not far from
the house and supposed the fire was all
out before he left but it held until Satur-
day night and the wind blowing caused
the fire to work its way to the house. The
house was not valuable.

(Boston Transcript

Speaker Reed has been for years the
target of much indiscriminate criticism,
based upon his alleged dctatorial rul-
ings. 1t has not appeared to worry
him great deal because too much of
it has been in the way of buncombe.
Certainly his good nature and patience
are almost limitless. and SO great is his
popularity that had he been nominated
for the presidency last year he would
have received in New England quite a
as a protest against their own candi-
date and platform, but for his own
sake.
The speaker very generously allowed
Mr.. Simpson to have all the rope he
desired. 1t was another striking illus
tration of the complacency and fire.
quent sense of amusement with which
larseness endures the assaults of little
ness, and conspicuous instance of
large-minded condescenson that in
stead of permitting this TRADE to lose
itself in the winds of time. he consented
to honor it with notice and an explana-
ton. Mr.. Simpson may not appreciate
that explanation but We think the pub
lie will. 1t likes manly statements
when the time comes to give them. and
Mr.. Reed has meekly taken quantities
of abuse without being precipitate in
his reply.
Instead of elevating himself above
the heads of his associates and stand
ing defiantly upon his official authority
Mr.. Reed explained that the House
delegated to him certain powers for
its purposes. and its purposes alone.
and not for him to employ in selfish or
arbitrary uses. IF the House thinks
that any occupant of this chair" said
Mr.. Reed, lis not carrying out it's
wishes, is not acting as it's representa-
tive. the remedy is in the hands of the
House at any time. and the chair
cheerfully welcomes any action on the
part of the House, whose representa-
tive he is" The atmosphere seemed
considerably cleared by this skilful and
manly treatment of Mr.. Simpsons
second hand grievance. There isn't
much satisfaction in continuing to call

knowledges his responsibilities and his
limitations.

The Buzzinq Of the BIS.

When the Democrats in the national
House put Baby Bailey of Texas over
the heads of former leaders and made
him, by reason of his candidacy for
speaker, leader of the Democracy, 1t
was remarked that Mr. Bailey was not
an admirer of Mr. Bryan, and that the
latter gentleman should look to his
laurels. Moreover since that event Mr..
Bryan has displayed more activity and
his goings and comings before the face
Of Providence have been remarked
upon. Some have even assumed that
he would cultivate the sobriquet Bill
as a sort of offset to that of Baby
and sort of competitive seductiveness
and alliterative sweetness to the presi-
Dental bees which might seek to
might easily suppose would superin-
duce supersensitiveness to signs.
omens and other portents. If that be
so we are at a loss to understand why
Mr. Bryan should go on clinging to the
Chicago platform as a drowning man to
a straw after such a warning as the
broken platform in Florida afforded
him. But he is not alone in being
chided by the fates
1t behooves Mr. Bailey of Texas to be
careful. We doubt whether the break
in his rivals platform is equal in all its
awful impoI lance to the "break" Mr..
Bailey made when he went to the
President and told him that he should
be obliged to decline an invitation to
dinner as he had no dress suit to wear.
1t is related of that impressive scene
that Mr.. Bailey stood erect in the ra-
dance of his Texan manhood and ar
rayed in the splendor of Prince Albert
and a pleated shirt with three glowing
studs. One cannot doubt that in that
exalted moment his heart strings Were
tangled at thought of the millions who
have no dress suits. We trust that in
the holiness Of his spirit he did not
soar above the level-headed reply OF
the President, Come just as you are
Bailey because it seems that if Mr.
Bailey were ballasted with a few grains
of such rare good common sense as the
President offered him he wouldn't be
so likely to get above the job of carving
his future. Mr.. Bailey is. however, in
measure excusable for his fiightiness
after seeing such things as this in
print: when Mr. Bailey talks there is
low musical sound that suggests a
babbling brook, with patches of mint
near by
If he will permit we would suggest he
bear in mind that his constituents pre-
fer the mint to the habble, that in some
rarts OF Texas they have no use for a
brook except TO irrigate the land. They
might be able to comprehend Primes

passed by the 6Sth Legislature OF

that body. The index by subjects is
something new in that line and was

A very peculiar death is reported by the
Lewiston police matron. She was asked,
Wednesday forenoon. to bury young
woman at the expense of the city, and
she went TO the house where the girl. a
pretty iifteen-years-o young woman.
had died. The body looked as if the girl
had not been over strong, but there were
no indications of long sickness about her.
When asked what she had died of. the
family with whom she lived said that it
was sick headaches, and that was all
she could get out of them.

A noteworthy stroke of enterprise to
be credited to Editor Shorey of the

paper they don't deserve to be pleased.
