REED AND SPRINGER.
The Cars Famous Report
to the Judge.

ARaos. j.. Cummings, the ols-
tinguished newspaper correspond
ent, in an article on "Thomas b.
Reed, Speaker. in the Saturday
Evening Post, has the following
account OF tilt between the Gear
and Judge Springer:
Mr.. Reed was ever testing the
metal Of his opponents, and knew
every weak point in their armor.
He was fine listener. and in his
quiet moments was always gauging
the ability Of his antagonists.
While leader on the Republican
side oi the House he had a loyal
following. 1t was SO intensely
loyal that it supported him in his
new departure after he became
Speaker. Occasionally murmurs
of mutiny were heard, but they
were promptly silenced by the
'firmness Of the Speaker. Aside
from his official duties, Mr.. Reed
was social power in congress.
He chatted with everybody, and
bis laconic sayings became pro-
verbal. His worst political ene-
mics seemed to have the keenest
admiration for him.
Probably the sharpest reply that
be ever made in debate was to the
Honorable William NJ. Springer,
of Illinois. Mr.. Springer was per-
sistent in discussion and an expert
in chop logic. While discussing
some proposition before tho House,
he observed Mr.. Reed standing in
% side aisle listening to him in ap-
parent astonishment. When the
Illinois representative had re-
,sumed his seat, the man from
Maine threw open the lid OF the
s desk at his side. He drew there
from an old volume of the Con-
gressional Record and read a COM
splete reply to Mr.. Springer's ar
.gument. He threw down the
book, saying:
~ quote from speech made BY
the honorable gentleman from Iii
nois in the Forly-fourth congress. "
II was home thrust. The
House roared, and Mr.. Springer
for moment was thoroughly dis
concerted. He secured the floor,
however, and promptly acknowl'
edged the corn. With great inge'
nuity he began to frame a reply
He alluded to the present age al
an age OF progress. Men had pro-
gressed artistically, scientifically
and politically. What would have
been orthodox in politics fifty
years ago might not be orthodo,
now. Aside from fhis, men wer'
liable to change their opinions
Sir Rsbert Peel changed his in re-
gard to the Corn Laws, and more
than one American statesman hat
found himself mistaken in th'
course Of time and changed hil
views.
.sI honor them for it," Mr.
Springer said. "An honest mar
always expresses his honest con
viction. tits this that makes hin
The nobIest work Of God. As TO
me, in the language Of an smiuen
American 'statesman, / woul'
rather be right than President.
"Ya.as,v drawled Mr.. Reed

The reply brought down th'
house and destroyed the effect Q

a loaf Of bread at Harsba & Spauld-

Yesterday morning he went to the
refrigerator to get his bread The
odor coming therefrom wasn't as

School matters in the territory
are just now attracting the atten-

Washington. The disgraceful
methods of the Cherokee school
board for some years back would,
ii fully exposed, make some
mighty interesting reading, and
doubtless soon decide congress as
to future legislation along this line.

CHAPTER XII,

Philip took the advice of his cap
taip; he had no difficulty in finding
himself received by hospitable mer-
chant, who had a house at some dis
tance from the town and in healthy
situation. There he remained two
months. and then re-embarked few
days previous to the ship being ready
for sea. The return voyage was fortu-
nate and in four months from the date
of their quitting Batavia. they found
Themselves abreast of st. Helena; for
vessels, at that period, generally made
what is called the eastern passage.
running down the coast Of Africa, in
stead of keeping toward the American
shores. Again they had passed the
Cape without meeting with the Phan-
tom Ship: and Philip was not only in
excellent health. but in good spirits.
AS they lay becalmed, with the islands
in sight, they observed boat pulling
toward them, and in the course of
three hours she arrived on board. The
crew we're much exhausted from hav-
ing been two days in the boat, during
which time they had never ceased
pulling to gain this land. They stated
themselves to be the crew OF small
Dutch Indiaman, which had foundered
at sea two days before; she had started
one Of her planks. and filled SO rap
idly that the men had hardly time to
save themselves. They consisted of
the captain. mates and twenty men be-
longing to the ship. and an old Portu-
guese Catholic priest. who had been
sent home by the Dutch governor for
having opposed the Dutch interests In
the island Of Japan. He had lived
with the natives. and been secreted by
them for some time. as the Japanese
government was equally desirous OF
capturing him. with the intention Of
taking away his life. Eventually he
found himself Obliged to throw him
self into the arms Of the Dutch. as be-
ing the less cruel of his ene-

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects OF the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS. manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIo SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, sing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per.
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make 1t the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities OF the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP

effects and to avoid limitations, please
