Meriweather md Mr.. Carson were

this forenoon. They talked freely
about the affair ana expressed them
selves as having no fears about the
final outcome of the in vestigation.
The DR.. said the reports as published
we're generally correct with the ex-
ception that he did not shoot at Mr..

out of the fact that when he took the
second shot at @. F. Meyer Mayhugh
was between him and his target.
Besides the parties under arrest G. F..

The Republican Gear as an Obstacle,
to National Progress.
Speaker Reed is no fool" Mr.. Han
ma is quoted as saying, when asked
concerning the reported determina-
ton Of the man from Maine to antag-
onize the administration.
There is possibility that the Ohio
Senator overrates the stuffed Cars

led with political strabismus ever
since the national convention that
nominated Mckinley, and caunot sec

Instantaneous; and Mr.. Reed has
fed with such gustatory ardor upon
his own greatness and ambition, that
his intellectual Indigestion ls under
going disorder of the most aggrava-
ted type. HIS system generates
spleen like a weasel's and yellow
jaundice has had such an effect ON
his appearance that he has mistaken
himself for. worshipful Chinese Joss.
As Mr.. Reed stood before the
House during the last hours before
Congress adjourned, he felt proud of
himself, and his nostrils dist ended
with the paintings of victory; he had
defeated the Nicaragua canal bill; he
had defeated the bill for promotions
in the navy; he had been instrument
al in making a scandal of the civil
service laws and the census; in vari-
Gus ways, SO far as he dared in the
face of the public opinion, he had
frustrated the policy of the President
and had sprouted quilts of displeas
ure and CRITICISM at every measure
like fretful porcupine.
Reed is big block in the way of
national progress. He is a barnacle
on the ship of stale. Like John
Sherman, but without as much reas-
on, he is embittered by disapoint.
