Speaker Reeds Retirement.

Inc announcement is made from
Portland, Me-, by way of a special to
the Chicago Record, that Speaker
Thomas B. Reed. of the house of rep
1esentatives at Washington. has writ
ten letter to one of his constituents
TO the effect that he has determined to
retire from congressional service at the
close of his present term This would
indicate that he intends to leave the
house March next, although he was
reelected to the Fifty sixth congress.
Whether true or not, such action by
Speaker Reed would in no way surprise
those of his friends who are nearest to
him and sharing his confidence.
1t has, in fact, long been an open
secret that Mr.. Reed was ambitious to
represent his state in the senate. Be
fore his election to the speakersbin ha
was never regarded as a man disposed
to push his way forward to an extent
He relied too much upon his mental
powers to compel recognition. and he
nourlsEed the belief that Mr.. Hale
would, at some recurring election bv

Place to him. Mr.. Hale was first eIect-
ed TO the senate in 1881. to succaed

rye entered that body in March of
the same year, as the successor of
James u. Blaine. on his resignation to
become secretary Of state In the cabi-

at the very outset. to precipitate con-
fict which, sooner or later, must In
evitably result in trouble
Justice Brewer is evidently not very
deeply impressed with the idea of
manifest destiny" and he does not
mince words in revealing the hypocrisy
embodied in the phrase. He referred
to the existence already of the black
race of the South, brought here as
slaves and now fully clothed with all
the privileges of American citizenship,
and of the veXing problems still I'M
solved bearing upon that ever growing
community. now approximating 12,000,-
0G0 human beings. Can we expect to
find safety in adding to our difficult
ties?" he asked, and he added impress
siVely:
Can We relieve against one problem of deal
ing with ignorant and unfit masses here by
adding millions more TO the problem? This is
no trifling question and Is not answered by
any gush about duty ard destiny; in fact
all this talk about destiny is wearisome. We
make our own destiny. We not the vic
TINS, but the masters. of fate, and to at
tempt TO unload upon the Almighty RESPONSE
bility for that which we choose to do is not
only an insult to Him. but to ordinary hui
man intelligence. We are told We have be
come so great and powerful that the world
needs us but what the world most needs is
not the touch of our power but The bless
ings of our example. 1t needs the bright eX-
ample of free people not disturbed by any
illu-ions of territorial acquisition, of pc
cuniary gain or military glory. but content
with their possessions and striving through
all the abilities activities and industries of
their wisest and most earnest to make the
life of each individual citizen happier, bet
ter and more content.
These are strong words, considering
the high judicial source whence they
emanated; and how will the imperial
lists and advocates of territorial eX-
pansion make reply? Doubtless by
blacklisting the speaker and CHASING
him with the other traitors who have
dared to expose the fallacies and
sophistries associated with this new
policy.
Justice Brewer strongly sustained the
attitude of the Federation of Labor in
opposing the imperialistic policy of the
administration. In many other ways
he probed the shallow arguments of
those who have thoughtlessly allowed
themselves to be carried away by the
colonial craze. 1t was at the conclu-
sion that the meaning of his subject,
"a prophecy or an exception" was
made clear. If this instance is only
an exception and should be wisely
treated as such. we may escape peril;
otherwise the dangers pointed out may
well be accepted as a prophecy of the
future

Nine. Eames-Story gave a Valentine day
dinner at the Hotel Marie Antolnette, at which
the De ResZkes and other notabilities were
present, says the New York Journal. Indulg-
ing in q pleasant conceit, the prima donna
surprised her guests by serving what seemed
to be gigantic pate, but out of which crept
a chocolate-colored child. And thereat Jean.
the tenor. sang to it French lullaby.
Nine. Lilh Lehman is an ardent cham
pion Of birds and animals. Possibly she is a
little partial to the cause of the birds, as
might be expected of one sweet singer to an
other, but her sympathies are not confined
to the Audubon society. She is an honorary
officer Of the Berlin Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals, to which organize
ton, according to report, she has bequeathed
her fortune
Not long ago Nine. Lehman received a
request for her autograph Such requests are
more than daily occurrences during the Ameri-
can sojourn of the great singers, who are
really very generous in their responses In
this case the applicant an agitated young
woman who secured the unusual privilege of
being personally received by Nine. Leh-
mann. Naturally she had arrayed herself In
her most sumptuous street raiment in order
to honor her hostess and, incidentally. do
credit to herself. To this end, therefore. she
wore large hat, whose ample area barely ac-
commodated the feathers heaped upon it.
Autograph album in hand, the young woman
entered~the singers apartment, her feathered
adornments quiveriEg conspicuously with the
excels of her emotions. The desired auto
graph was graciously given. but the inter-
view did not end there. Nine Lehman
could not neglect so pafpable an opportunity
for missionary work in behalf of her bird
friends, and the result was that the be-
feathered visitor was quite won over, and
went away promising to abandon borrowed

Effects of the Cold Wave.

Less than fortnight ago the North
west was in the clutch of cold wave.
the severity of which. taken in con-
nectiou with the duration of prevailing
low temperature. has rarely been
equaled. This has been succeeded by
the opposite extreme, and the third
week in February finds the ground al
most destitute of snow. which has
rapidly melted under the influence of
clear skies and the increasing power
of the suns rays. Here. however, the
snowfall has been so light since No
vember as hardly to be worthy of COM
ment. But to the eastward and south
ward most extraordinary conditions
exist; for the Atlantic coast and mid
die and central Southern states are
practically buried in snowdrifts, which
it will require weeks Of bright sun
shine to thoroughly extinguish. The
worst feature Of it all Is that the area
of low temperature extended so far to
the southwark as to practically ruin
the orange groves and the early vege-
table crop Of Florida; and no doubt
much damage has been inflicted upon
the agricultural interests of all the
gulf states. so far as early produce Is
concerned.
+ Aside from the harm done in the sec
ticns in which frost Is a rare visitor,
no reports have been received which
Justify belief that the cold wave will
have an unfavorable effect on agrf-
cultural interests in general. The ex-
tremely low temperature did not find
the plant of winter wheat unprepared
for the visitation. Some fields were.
1t is true. exposed on account of the
absence Of snow; but the fall came in
most instances In advance of the severe
freezing weather. so that the plant
was measurably protected.
Perhaps the greater danger really
lies ahead. The existing high tenn
perature, by uncovering the plant, ex-
poses the roots to the effect of freezing
In the event Of an unusually cold snap
preceding any future snowfaHs. And
later still. as the season advances and
the thawing-out process is resumed,
many plants must necessarily be al
together uprooted and destroyed.
Meanwhile. 1t must be source Of
congratulation to residents of the
Northwest that, barring the sense of
personal discomfort inflicted. severe
weather, owing to the methods of crop
ping pursued here. leaves no track Of
ruin behind, as in sections in which I'M
usually low temperature Is only an oc-
caslonal incident. The preparation of
ground in the fall for the planting of
wheat In the spring is always a wise
provision, as the upturned soil is bene-
fitted either by the advent of snow or
the process Of freezing. Spring plant
ing occurs when nature can be count
ed upon to do its work Of termination
without hindrance; thus the farmer can
spend his winter months free from
worry as to the effect of cold weather
on his winter crops.
Taken altogether. the climate of the
Northwest. despite its extremes of sea-
sonable heat and cold, is about as at
tractive and desirable as any to he
found within the national area.

order that the latter might have the best Of

Miss Davis Joined the Nielsen company In

Mr.. Reed has had to go before his con-
stituents every two years for re-elec-
ton, and in one or two struggles he
had close call.
Mr.. Hale Is wealthy man. having
married the only daughter Of Zaohariah
Chandler. of Michigan. But he has
chung tenaciously to the senate. and
has just been reelected for another
term of six years. 1t SO happened that
Mr. Hale and CMr. Reed occupied SINH
lar positions on the question Of expan-
sion, and Mr. Hale did not feel like
passing from public life at the present
time. This fact, of course. barred Mr..
Reed. Senator Frye's term does not
expire until March 8, 1901
1t is alleged that Mr.. Reed recognizes
the fact that his election to the presi-
dency is beyond possibility. He Is. es-
sentially, a poor man. after more than
twenty years service in congress. and
will soon enter upon his sixtieth year
OF life. His purpose is said to be to
enter upon the practice OF law in New
York city. There is no doubt of his
success, financially. in that field. and
he has declined several propositions in
the past in connection with that lucra-
tive service.
1t was said of Roscoe Conkling that
when he retired from the senate in
1881 he was over $50, 900 in debt, and
that during the first year of his prac-
tice in New York his income was $780,
600. Mr.. Reed would doubtless COM
mand an equally profitable clientage.
1t is to his credit. in the point of wis
dom. that he recognizes the barriers in
his way to political advancement and
chooses to devote the remainder of his
years to demonstrating fruits COM
mensurate with his great intellectual
abilities.
