1t is a well known fact that the salaries
of public men in Washington do not allow
opportunity for the accumulation of much
property. The ordinary mem Der recslve:
$500 yearly, and the Speaker $1,000.
These figures seem large. But 1t is to be
remembered that the Speaker of the
House Is expected to move In the social
circles of the Senate and the Cabinet; and
Ii has been well known for many years
that in both Senate and Cabinet men of
great wealth predominate. This has in
eyitably resulted in "a costly scale of social
entertainment. The Speakers are not men
of wealth generally; but men who have
risen through shaer ability and hard
work. For them to maintain social rela =
lions with their peers means an expendi-
ture for which the salary is not suited.
In England, in "A capital that can hardly
be much more expensive than Washing
ton is now, the Speaker gets SIS, 600 a
year. with peerage and pension at the
end of his service. While Mr.. Reed and
his family have never made elaborate
social display in Washington, they have
liNcu as ooohiue bho VI uhO ScSohh
official in the American government.
Many influential frienus of Mr.. Reed
have long urged him to go to New York,
assuring him that with his ability and
reputation he could easily command q
prinoely income. The firm of which he is
to become the senior member is very
prosperous one of fifteen years. standing.
1t consists of John W. Simpson, Thomas
Thatcher, William IL. Barnum and Philip
&. Bartlett. MIR. Simpson is son-in- law
of the late George Iseny and hasibeen for
years counsel for the Manhattan Trust

speaker Resd has known the members
of the firm for many years ana has had
frequent business dealings with them.
Though he had received offers to go to the
head of several perhaps better known
firms he early expressed his preference
for the one with which no Is to be associ-
ated.
The Speaker is said to have been as
sured of an income of at least $50. 600 q

President of the United States. from in
surance companies alone. He will con.
tinue to act as referee for the several in
surance corporations for which he has
his income may yet amount to 500, 900
annually.
1t does not seem probable that Mr.. Reed
will give up his residence in Portland.
This is the city Of his birth, and he has
alw avs been greatly attached to 1t and its
people. He has also lately acquired q
summer home at Grand Beach. which he
has found very enjoyable in summer.
AS to future political preferment, 1t is
not believed that Mr.. Reed has it at all
in view. He is too much of student OF
American history not to know that the
Presidency of the United States is be-
slowed as much by accident as on account
of merit; and that some Of the noblest OF
Americans have embittered their lives in
seeking to grasp the elusive honor. He
has never given any indication that the
Presidency is very near To his heart. In
deed, he said to friend shortly after the
trying canvass which terminated at st.
Louis that the only time in all the con
est when he felt respondent over the
prospect was early in the canvass when IT
looked for time as though he might be
nominated. In the midst of the most
seductive temptations he held firmly to
