One OF the leading newspapers Of Ber-
lin sounds = loud warning Of impending
panic In the financial world OF the great
and prosperous German empire. II ad-
mits that trade and industry are flourish
ing and that the wealth and strength Of
the country are increasing as they never
did before. Nevertheless this Journal
predicts a great crash In the business
in Germany and urges its readers to be
ready for a tremendous financial storm
The reason for such predictions Of
trouble OF the gravest sort IL the fact
that in the past six months new stocks
and bonds have been issued in Germany
to the amount OF about 3A0000o.000. The
average output Of such securities has
been only fs7 600 90 a month. And that

Of guilt or innocence. He has q super
fetal smartness. which enables him to
quickly turn to his momentary advan-

brought out against him. This il not
necessarily evidence Of his Euilt: he has
had the subject In mind for several
years and the false testimony IL 20 no
torious that he has had ample opportun-
ity to prepare for It and refute It.
He has not a legal mind. and he is the
victim Of injustice. Yet he has the same
fault a. his accusers in the respect that
he seeks to make much Of trivial mat
tiers and rctard the disclosure Of the
more important. He II disposed to be

judgment of the people not Of the Latin
race. He il not q Latin himself. but
generations OF association and perhaps
his immediate training have brought to
him much Of the tendency 20 dramatic

What makes his flippancy and dispo-
sition to irrelevancy for the sake Of
fiashy point the more conspicuous IL the
wonderful ability Of Labori. The chief
counsel for the defense II q remarkably
able lawyer. He has what appear to as
to be the faults Of the French school in
some degree. but he Ii at times mani

attitudinizing Of his client A superb
advantage snatched in cross-examin-

REED N nrrsnEnExr.


In = fsw days Thomas b. Reed WIN Be
. private citizen. and . ve-y striking
personality Win have been withdraw
from public life. His retirement from
congress and determination TO devote
himself to the practice Of his profession
are dictated by wisdom. and the prob
ability 10 that while many explanations
have been offered, the true one II that
he intends TO accumulate competence.
Had Mr. Reed chosen to devote his
talents to private business, there b no
doubt that he would have made q
handsome income and not been depend
ent at his present age upon his work
for sufficient to keep up his establish
ment.
When Conkiing was compelled to re-
tire to private life by the triumph Of
his political foes. he entered into active
practice and In one year made twice az
much as the salary OF the presidency
amounted TO. In a very few years he
amassed small fortune. although he
honorably made good tsO.0oo which had
been squandered by the trustees Of an
estate whose appointment Conkling had
procured. There are other Instances In
history Of men Of capacity who have
been compelled late In life to admit that
public honors are not always acc0mpan-
led by fortune
Although there have been several
speakers OF exceptional character, Reed
r. one Of the few who has left q deep
impress upon the house Of representa-
tives. He found legislation hampered
by fiction. which. well intended in the
beginning. had been distorted and
abused for partisan purposes. He made
several changes In parliamentary mat
tiers. Of course always with the sup
port OF majority OF the members.
but the principal reform he achieved
was based upon common sense
BY his ruling the old-time absurdity
was abolished. and II q member were
physically present he could not be made
constructively absent. The Democratic
minority had succeeded in blocking
business by refusing to vote and 50
showing want Of q quorum. and then
without Inconvenience responded on the
next motion. For this reform. which
really added dignity to the legislative
body OF a great nation. ne was de-
nounced as car: but gradually the or
position disappeared and the fiction will
never be revived. There was nothing 10
he said In favor OF the pretense that
men were absent when an q matter Of
fact they were present. and It would
only have brought rldicule upon the
party TO have resisted In fact Crisp
adopted the same rule.
Reed In a very remarkable man. lie
represented his district In congress from
1877. and no other candidate was seri.
ousiy considered during that time. He
has great strength Of character. COM
bined with sterling ability. Immaculate
probity and great good humor. Ils
ready Wit was frequently sharpened by
sarcasm. but ne was not often bitter
An instance OF his humor was given
when ne was In Seattle. He told the
people Of this city that the Eastern peo-
pie were deeply interested in our future
He said: I'VE sent you freely both OF
our sons and our money--and you kept
them both"
