How Congress Will
Seem Without Reed
Mcfarland, in Philadelphia Record.

Mcfarland in Philadelphia Record.
m " AUTOCRAT, an aristocrat, in
IAN the best sense, Mr.. Reed de-
Iu\ served the title of great COM
uN moner" more than any other
man, for he has eXerted all his great
powers to maintain and extend the au-
thority and influence Of the body i'm
mediately representing the people, and
has withstood the enCroachments of the
senate and the much greater encroach-
ments of the executive. Mr.. Reed de-
precates the growing power of the ex-
ecutive, regardless of personal or par
tisan considerations. Mr.. Reed thinks
it most significant that the makers of
the constitution provided in the very
first article, before everything else, for
1.-The congress-" and, moreover, that
the article provided for the house of
representatives before it provided for
the senate No old-fashioned Demo-
crat could be more concerned at the
concentration of federal power in the
executive than the man VINO was nick
named the American Gar" Yet. so
strong is the force Of temperament,
that, il MIR. Reed were president, l
suppose he would govern like Cleve-
with the breadth Of view and the com
prehcnson OF congressional conditions
that only long service in the house can
give.
When Mr.. Reed came to congress, 90
years ago, he had state reputation
as a successful lawyer OF great prom
ise who had done We'll as 5ttorney gen.
! eral and in the Legislature, as well as
i'm the office Of city attorney Of Port
land, where, as in other places, hc ac-
| cOmplished things which had not been
done before. But here he was for the
! time being unknown, and, having been
! placed on obscure committees that
! never met, seemed likely 10 remain
| IN the eclipse of the famous Maine men
| then in the zenith. Mr.. Reed. as he
! has often said, did not want TO come
/ 10 congress. Indeed, he had never
! wanted any office except those in the
! line of his profession, and he felt then,
as nov, that no man can love the life
| Of a congressman unless he likes to
| set mp early I'm the morning and run err
| rands for his constituents around the
white house and the departments most
| Of the time. and this he certainly never
! did. 1t is rather strange that he
stayed here, but the genius in the big
awkward body behnd the large moon

The City Postofice team played tie
game with picked nine of East Washing
ton players yesterday, which proved to be
an interesting exhibition from start 10 fin
ish. The Postoffice boys refused TO play
after the eighth inning. The pitching of
Taylor was the feature of the game until
the eighth inning, when five runs were
made on hits, which lost the game to the
Postofiice. An error was made by Cham
berlain. The teams lined up as follows:

require some carrying. AS was to be ex-
pected, the yacht is painted green, but the
shade IS not quite pleasing. The Eldred
looked charming last year with her light
tint of green, and it was quite as near to
the true emerald as that of the Shamrock
is. 1t is TO be hoped that some change may
be made in this respect, for, as we say. the
yacht has nothing to spare in the matter
of good looks.
1T is a pity that better trial ship than
the Britannia has not been found. though,
after all. the main advantage in having a
trial vessel like the Valkyre lies in the
greater satisfaction it would give to pub
lie curiosity The Columbia's trials with
the Defender go TO show that she is not,
after all, so much superior to the older
boat as was thought at first. but on this
side of the water people are inclined to dis
count the value of such trials unless they
actually witness them. The Defender, how
ever, is a fast vessel, and the Columbia
should satisfy her owners If she can beat
her by four minutes in a good breeze over
the short trial course. Anything more than
that would establish a very decided feel
ing of nervousness among those interested
! in the Shamrock
