Tom Reed was not foolish enough to
be eloquent. He talked TO juries and
not to galleries. He preferred point
to parade He had read much; he

wit. He left the hourishes TO men
Of less solid requirements and mental
acuteness. Sagacious, shrewd, with
sort of crystalline intellect, there
have been few pithier debaters He
will be remembered among the master
hands at the complicated science or

work in committee was thorough and

his professional brethren, and at the
best period Of his powers.

The following able and discrlminat-

is taken from the editorial columns
of the New York Sun.
We commend 1t to our readers as

Mr.. Reeds political career ended by
his own act He saw the inevitable
and would not yield to 1t. lie pro-
tosted to the last against the acquisi-
ton of the Philippines. He had 1t
in his power TO remain leader and a
force in politics. He chose to leave
them and he deserves the honor due
ho courage and sincerity.
As Speaker Of tho Fifty-hrst Con
Eress no had forced Il violent minority
to submit TO the majority. On other
terms republican self-government is
impossible. The Democrats were
quick enough to borrow his method
when their time came, and meekly
followed the man whom they had as
sailed with 80 much ferocity of epithet,
In q few years he who had 30 signally
defended tho right Of the majority
to rule, became a member OF a little
minority Of his party, So the Repub-
lican party lost the services OF one Of
its most capable statesmen.
Selt-assertive, conscious of his
powers, impatient Of slower minds and
intolerant Of supple and circuitous
ways OF action, in the last resort he
preferred his own opinion to that of
tho public. If this characteristic
worked sometimes tolis own disadvan-
tage, It worked often to the advan-
tRge OF the country. He mover shirked
responsibility. AS Speaker he some
times saved the Republican Executive
from tho unpopularity OF n veto. He
blocked legislation fearlessly. In the
estimation OF some, the post OF
Speaker OF tho House Is como to he
the most powerful in the American
system OF government. That depends
somewhat upon who occupies It. Mr..
Reed had masterful qualities which
have been recalled regretfully by some
OF the very men who were irritated by
his imperIousness.

officer in the army. Thanks to this

be obliged to retire from the army. as
he was so heavy that il required two

thin in a few weeks, and to such an eX-

was to his doctor that no was indebted
for becoming q general. The means con-
sisted simply in never eating more than
ono dish at each meal. no matter what
that dish may be, and q person may con-
sumo as much as the stomach can bear.
and satisfy the appetite without the least
reserve. Nevertheless. nothing but the
ono dish should be- taken; no coudt-
ments, or soups. or supplementary des-
serts should be allowed. This system
was recommended TO a lady who was
slightly obese. and who put 1t into prac-
tice with the best results The lady OBJ
served that she suffered no !ncoaven-

result obtained by the medical officer may

And chaiced in the blossoms thou hast

To give me pleasure for f1eeting day.

It is because thy love hath brought me
