Now that much of what Congress
failed to do is justly chargeable to the
Speaker, we are glad to note that Dem
ocratic opinion of Speaker Reed is be
ing shared by our Republican friends
AS long as Democrats and Populists
we're the victims OF his tyranny the
Republicans hailed and applaudec
Reed as great and good man. But
when his tyranny operated upon Repub
licans they began to hawl. 1t does

KENTUcKY's highest naval officer is
John Crittenden Watson, and we are
rejoiced that the failure of the Senate
to confirm the nominations for promo
tons results in the advancement of this
gallant Kentuckian to the position of
Rear Admiral, ranking both Schley
and Sampson, as he retains his former
relative rank. and all the Commanders
90 up together. Senator Lindsay is
credited with championing the cause
of the Kentuckian, but back of him
stood the Lexington Gazette which
first called his attention to the injustice
that had already been done to Critten-
den Watson by the Secretary of the
Navy in advancing both Schley and
Sampson over him. The CLIMAX made
an humble appeal for justice to the
distinguished Kentuckian, but the Ga
zette deserves all honor.

living in the Fourth ward. The
family was away from home. Their
wash woman brought the weeks wash
ing home, and there being no one TO

along, spied the basket, and went
after it. They dragged the clothes
out of the basket aud scattered them
all over the yard. They evidently
got into a fight among themselves as
