REED TO OLD CONSTITUENTS
Farewell Address of the Former
Speaker of the House.
portland PreSS.)

. llOItlanO 1ItSSs)
The Press prints the following address
! by former Speaker Reed to his old con-
stituents:
"To the Republicans of the First Maine
District:
while I am naturally reluctant to OBJ
trude myself again upon public attention,
even here at home. / am sure no one
would expect me to leave the First Maine
District after so long a service
without some words expressing TO
you my appreciation OF your friendship
and my gratitude for your generous treat
ment.
words alone are quite inadequate, and
I must appeal TO your memories. During
three and twenty years Of political life,
not always peaceful, you have never
questioned a single public act of mine.
other men have had 10 look after their
districts My district has looked after
me This. in the place where l was
born, where you know my shortcomings
as we'll as ] do myself. gives me a right
10 be proud of my relations with you.
No honors are ever quite like those which
come from home.
1T would not be just for me TO with
hold my thanks from those Democrats
who have so often given me their votes.
This friendship / can acknowledge with
all propriety, even In letter TO Repub-
leans. for both they and you know that
l have never trimmed a sail to catch the
passing breeze or ever flown a doubtful
flag
"Once as a 'riband to stick in your
coat is worth nObody's consideration.
Office as opportunity is worth all con-
sideration. That opportunity you have
given me untrammeled in the fullest
and amplest measure. and / return you
siucorest thanks If / have deserved any
praise II belongs Of right TO you.
whatever may happen, | am sure that
the First Maine District will always
be true to the principles Of liberty, self
government, and the rights OF man.
THOMAS Il. REED"

not. there was absolutely no legal evil

THE MINERS STRIKE.
Men Returning to Work on Loup
Creek.

The Charleston (W. Va.) Courier say,
the miners strike In the New river coal
region has assumed considerable proper
tions, though there are great many ~
the miners still at wsrk. The order 70
strike seems not TO have been generally
obeyed. The miners who struck at the
Sugar Creek and Macdonald mines, AZ
the terminus OF the LOup Creek branch
of the Chesapeake and Ohio reilway,
have gone back 10 work, they having
been paid the advance Of cents per ton
demanded by them.
The difficulty. 1t appears IS tina. the
operators cannot run their mines ana
nav the additional . cents as long as the
selling price OF their coal remains what
IL Is now, and there is no reduction ia
freight rates. These operators are now
having 40 cents a ton, or cents more
than Is paid by the operators at Sugar
Greek and Macdonald, even after the
Increase OF 5 cents has been granted. IRE
coal on Loup creek Is so much more
easily mined than that on the New river
thai the men can make more at work IN
those mines at 80 cents than they can az
10 cents on New river. This places the
Loup creek operators at great adyant-
age over the operators on the New river.
What seems 10 be needed Is readJust-
ment of prices and freigH rates
