THE INTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING, APRIL II, 1890.
IfRccd Should Retirs,

There is persistent rumor that
Speaker Reed intends to retire from
Congress without serving out the term
for which he was elected last fall-in
other words, that he may be expected
to resign In short time, his reason be-
ing that he is DESTROYS of availing him
self of an opportunity to take up the
practice OF law in Boston or New York
with u view to making money. This
story is reiterated In the Washington
specials to some of the Sunday papers,
with the statement that Speaker Reed
has long contemplated this step and
that his intentions have been known to
many Of his personal friends.
1t is said by the press writer's that the
speaker, who possesses rare legal abili-
ty. has unseltishly devoted the past
twenty-five years to public life. and
now that he feels old age coming upon
him 1t is source Of worry to him that
he is not well fixed in this worlds
goods. He expresses desire to resume
the active practice Of his profession.
With his prestige and legal ability, it is
asserted. Mr.. Reed will have no trouble
IN obtaining at the very outset prac-
tice which will yield him a large in
come, as he Is already considering Of
fers from large insurance corporations
to act as their counsel.
II the reports prove to be authentic.
the decision OF Speaker Reed to retire
from Congress and public life Will be
regretted generally throughout the
country. Notwithstanding the fact
that Mr.. Reed. during his career as pre-
siding officer of the house, has met with
severe partisan criticism. and has occa-
sionally crossed swords with a leader
of his own party. he has won and re-
tanned the respect of the entire country
for that wonderful tirmncss which has
characterized his conduct and stood
him and his party in such good stead at
critical periods. Among his personal
admirers and those who concede to him
his rare qualities of house leadership,
are many who have more than once had
cause to fee! the full. force OF his abili-
ties in this line. 1t is a remarkable fact
that Reeds rules" which were so bit
terly denounced at one time are now
accepted as authority In parliamentary
bodies, regardless OF party.
As to the political effect and signifi-
canoe of Mr.. Reeds resignation OF his
membership in the house. that is mat
ter for discussion when what is now
but n matter of speculation really
comes to pass. Mr.. Reed has not yet
confirmed the report, though the story
is circumstartial. and seems to come
from his friends.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

BY local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an innamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachlan Tube. When this tube gets In
famed you have rumbllng sound or
imperfect hearing. and when 1t Is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to It's normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh. which Is nothing but an in

Mr.. Bryan himself said. the important

the cost of it, but by the sentiments
which are woven into the post-prandial
oratory."

It was the Milwaukee speech in new
dress, an echo from the speeches OF '96,
with some additions to make 1t fit '99.
AS In Milwaukee. Bryan made the mis-
take of repudiatlng the idea of har-
mony in the Democratic ranks except
upon the terms he lays down-that
those who did not vote for him and the
Chicago platform must not be received
back into the ranks save as penitents.
They must come admitting they were
wrong and that the principles adopted

Dry. That Is to be the main Issue with

lleve in It must remain outside the

speeches Is that he desires no more
votes than he received before. He lays
down iron-clad rules to everyone not
an original sllverite; he extends no
olive branch to Democrats who voted
against him that has not thorn in it.

The Quay Trial.

The admission Of the Red Book of the
Peoples Bank, together with other doc
uments that were offered as evidence In
the Quay trial, Is construed to be q
victory for the prosecution and to have
weakened the cause Of the defense con-
sidernbly, but the construction does not
appear to be well based. While 1t Is
evident that the courts decision In the
matter of the Red Book is q distinct
advantage to the prosecution In the
way of placing 1t in possession of q
means to get at the records, 1t is the
opinion of those most interested in the
case that the admission Of this evidence
Is simply Indicative of the. intention of
the court that the case is to be tried on
It's merits. The Pittsburgh Dispatch,
commenting on this matter, falls to see
how the admission Of the Red Book Is a
victory for the prosecution. and the
Dispatches judgment in this matter,
considering It's well known attitude to-
ward Quay, may be regarded as entire
ly unbiased. 1t holds that the prose-
cution has the case yet to make. al
though the states attorney Is entitled
to congratulations for winning his
point In the face Of the arguments of
some Of the most brilliant lawyers In
the state.
The point is pertinently made that.
when 1t Is considered that the affairs Of
the Peoples Bank were in a badly mix
ed condition, and that the management
seems to have been deficient in the
matter of observing banking rules, but
on the contrary quite proficient in the
ability to yield to political influences,
there is no telling that the books of the
bank are correct evidence, because they
may not give correct information.
Even the judge Of the court, in rem
der,ng his decision. declaredthat in ad-
hitting the books. 1t did not follow that
their contents could be accepted as evil
dence. The trial Of the Quay case, in
fact, seems to have only opened. mere
ly the preliminary skirmishing between
the attorneys having taken place. The
interesting developments are yet to
come and the outcome is by no means
certain.

For Just clasp of baby's hand.
Who sings up there In the anEel-land,
A waiting kiss from those dear lips,
