REED FOR SPEAKER.

The talk that has been appearing In
some of the papers, that the President
would oppose the reelection of Speaker
Reed because of the latter's opposition TO
the policy OF expansion is without any
support from authoritative sources. Those
nearest to the President say that he has
no intention whatever of interfering with
the House in the matter of the speaker
ship. 1t is a question whether he could
defeat Mr.. Reed if he wanted to. The
speaker has a very strong hold on his
party. and, besides, the Republican party
is by no means a unit on the policy of eX-
pansion.
MIR. Reed has not had anything to say
recently in respect to that policy When
he was last heard from, however, he was
against it, In fact, the ablest of the New
England senators and representatives APP
pear to be against it,
One of the Republican leaders, speak
ing of the speakership a day or two ago.
said that MIR. Reed would be renominated
and reelected without a dissenting voice.
1t is safe to say that he stated the situa-
ton correctly. 1t is necessary TO the plans
Of the Republicans that a strong man
shall be in the speakers chair They will
have very small majority-so small that
ii will be necessary to enlarge it in order
TO be always certain of a majority, there
are so many absentees. In order to get a
larger majority it win be necessary TO
unseat some of the Democratic members.
II is reported that preparations are be-
ing made already for this work. No man
is better qualified for carrying through a
programme of that kind than Speaker
Reed. That is one of the reasons that
there will be no opposition to his re-elee-
ton.
He will not have much of an opportun-
ity in the House TO oppose the Presidents
policy of expansion. There will. of course,
be much legislation connected with it.
but Mr.. Reed is too good a party man
to oppose his party when he cannot make
his opposition effective. The policy of ex-
pansion Will not be strongly opposed by
him unless there is quite general revolt
in his party against ii.

ME GnNERNon,s nACKnoNr.

The Governor has the backbone to adopt
a clearly defined financial policy. There
was some doubt about it when he was
making speeches during the campaign and
saying nothing in particular. There was
even doubt about it when he sent a spe-
cial message to the legislature a day or
Two ago in which he pointed out the de-
plorable financial condition of the state
without recommending any way out of the
difficulties. Now he is going to make re-
Communications. He has found out what
the leading men in all parts of the state
think ought to be done. and he has decided
upon his course of action. He will recon-
mend that only Confederate veterans who
are in INDECENT circumstances and not able
to earn a living. and widows of Confeder-
ate veterans who are wholly dependent
shall receive pensions. That is what was
intended when the pension legislation was
enacted. But if reports are to be credited
the intention of the law has not been ad-
hered TO. It would not be surprising if the
number of pensioners not entitled to re-
ceive state bounty We're greater than the
number entitled to it. If the pension roll
were made up of those that have real
claim upon the state for assistance the
probability is that the treasury would be
saved 100000 year.
The Governor also proposes to recon-
mend a reduction in the amount appro-
priated for schools. In connection with
that recommendation he ought to tell the
legislature that no county should have
more from the school fund than it pays
into the treasury for that fund. The rea-
son that the people of so many counties
have so little appreciation of education is
that il costs them very little. If they
were compelled 10 pay for it they would
value il higher
Recently we have seen much in the pub
lie prints about the low rate of taxation
in 1888. 1t was only two and half mills.
And the assessed value of the property
of the state that year was more than S1Oi,-
100000 less than it was last year. when the
tax rate was six and a half mills. Thus
we see that with more than hundred
millions more of property the tax rate
an astonishing increase there has been
in the cost of running the state govern
ment i'm the last fourteen years and how
lacking in foresight some of the legisla-
lures have been in handling the states
financial affairs!

Annexation or ProtectOrate.

Either annexation or a protectorate will
