Reed and Mast.


Two persons who have played important
parts in the politics fthe country have passed
away within a week-Thomas B. Reed and
Thomas Mast One used sharp and biting
tongue; the other pencil Of ridicule. Both
had passed from public notice. Thomas
Mast. the once famous cartoonist, spoke
through pictures, and it has been charged
that the death of Horace Greeley was largely
due to the effects of Nast's pencil during his
candidacy for the Presidency in 1872. He
felt keenIy the misrepresentation by means
of cartoons, and these, with crushing defeat,
fastened his death. Horace Greeley was
never himself after the election Of 1872. His
spirit was crushed and he felt Inundated and
cast down.
Thomas B. Reed, who was regarded as
dulard as boy, arose to be a leader Of his
party in the House of Representatives by the
time he reached the age of forty five. He
served many years in the House and was
three times chosen Speaker. 1t is difficultto
discover how he reached the eminence he did.
He made no speeches of any considerable
length, nor any showing of craftsmanship or
profundity. He was master of parliament
tary rules, and he was quick at reparee and
had biting tongue. Yet he was the master
of the Republican party ofthe House, whether
as Speaker or leader of the minority on the
floor. In the latter position none failed to
follow his lead upon all measures. In the
Chair all fastened to do him reverence. When
the Republicans hada majority in the House
no other person was thought of for Speaker.
He was always the unanimous choice of the
Republican caucus.
While Reed was the Republican leader in
the House for so many years there is not
single statute of importance that bears his
name. He was not the author of any measure
of national consequences. In fact we do not
recollect any measure of national application
that bears his name. La connection with his
service in the House the counting of a quorum,
by including those who did not vote or he
could see in the cloak rooms, is what gave
him almost his sole notoriety. For this he was
roundly criticised and denounced. For this
he was termed Gear Reed, but the precedent
he set has been followed in large measure
ever since, and the "Reed Rules" still stand.
In calmer moments Congressman and the
people in general believe that the majority in
Congress has the right to conduct public bust
ness, and this is the principle Reed establish
ed He also accomplished the further public
service Of making the party in power keeping
aquorum present when party measures are to
considered.
In his later years of public life Mr.. Reed
found himselfout of harmony with the ruling
powers of his party, and rather than have an
open rupture with Mckinley and his advisers
and managers, he resigned his seat in Con
gress and settled in New York, where he had
achieved some eminence in the practice oflaw.

The Venezuela Trouble.

The foreign feet off the coast of Venezula
Tuesday seized all the warships of the repub-
lie. As reprisal, President Castro threw
several German and British citizens into prl
SOD, and called on the Venezuelans to take up
arms. Minister Bowen secured the release Of
the Europeans. Both sides TO the contro
versy declare the action of their opponents
unwarranted.
Fridays dispatches say that the Venezu
elan authorities at Puerto Cabello are fortify
ing that town. They have seized and impris
oned the British and German Consuls there
as well as other Britons and Germans. ane
have taken possession of their property. The
authorities also seized a British steameI
which was discharging a cargo of coal al
Puerto Cabello. This vessel was unable te
escape owing to break down in her machin
cry. The American Consul at Puerto Cabelle
attempted to intervene, but he was dsre
garded.

COMPTROLLER Herring sUs-
TANNED.
Court Decides That The Public School
Fund Is Distributed In The Proper
Wav.


In the case Of Robert Shriver vs.. Joshua
W. Herring, comptroller of the state treasury,
Judges Jones and Thomas on Tuesday filed
an order dismissing the plaintiff 9 petition with
costs to the respondent.
On May Is last Robert Shriver, citizen of
Allegany county, filed petition in the Circuit
Court for Anne Arundel county asking that a
writ of mandamus be issued directing the comp
troller to apportion the school tax fund to
the white schools to the several counties and
the city of Baltimore in proportion to their
respective white population upon his dis
tribution to be made on the 10th day of JAN
uary, 1908, and at each subsequent quarter
thereafter as required by the laws of the State
of Maryland
Mr.. Shriver alleged, among other things in
his petition, that notwithstanding certain pro
visions of ar.itle ~ of the Code of Public
General Laws, declaring that the fund be dis
tributed to white schools as to their popula-
ton and to the coIored schools as to their
population; that it has been the practice of
the comptroller to apportion the fund distri.
bufabie to the white schools of the city OF
Baltimore and the counties in proportion to
their respective populations, including both
white and colored between certain ages and
to apportion the fund distributable to the col
ored schools, to the counties and Baltimore
city in proportion to the colored population,
including only the colored schools-that is to
say, for colored schools, only the colored are
counted, while for white schools both white
and colored are counted, Notwithstanding the
fact that the colored children do not attend
white schools and get no benefit from them of
any kind. The petition goes on to say that
the method of distribution is manifestly un-
just, negotiable and contrary to law, and
works great hardships to the citizens of Allie
gany and other counties of the state having a
small colored population, and imposes a
heavier burden upon the taxpayers of such
localities to maintain their white schools than
would be necessary if the state fund was
equally distributed To this petition Attor-
ney General Rayner for Comptroller Herring,
filed an answer and to the answer the plain
tiff demurred, and the Court overruled the
demurrer and allows the Comptroller to make
the distribution as he has formerly done.

Foreign Born Insane

Evidence of kind to bring support for
Immigrant restriction is accommodating rapidly.
Goodwin Brown, representing the New York
Lunacy Commission, testified last Monday
before the Senate Committee on immigration
that the cost of the foreign born insane TO the
States in the past ten years reached the sum
of $50, 100000. We are not so much con-
cerned about the cost to the States, but it is a
terrible thing that we should permit the pure
current of the nations life blood to be mud
died in this manner. A special agent of the
Treasury Department recently declared after
a long investigation in Europe that the dis
eased, the defective, the weaklings and the
dregs of Europe, who had been declared unfit
by our Consuls and were not received by the
steamship lines plying to our ports, were COM

Has 25 Fingers and Toes.

Suffering from typhoid fever, Gustav Weiss
kell, years old, was admitted to the Balti-
more University Hospital last Saturday after
noon. The child, who is the son of Freder-
lick and Emma Weiskell, arrived in Baltimore
last Saturday on the North German Lloyd
steamer Koln from Bremen. When the Ko n
arrived in Baltimore the child was tak.a im-
mediately to the hospital, where the disease
was diagnosed as typhoid fever. When the
physicians at the hospital examined the patient
it was found that the boy had seven fingers on
his right hand and six on the left. He also
has six toes on each foot. On the right hand
the thumb and first two fingers are the same
as those of ordinary mortals. The ring fng-
ers and the little finger are double. On the
left hand, on which there are six fingers the
first three are normal, but at the joint of the
little fingers there is an extra growth, which
can be easily called sixth finger. The toes
on each foot show the same popularity. The
extra toes grow just at the base of the little
one. The child appears to suffer no ineon-
venience from these extra fingers and toes.
The father of the child has goue on to Chi
cago, the destination of the parents, but the
mother remains in the city waiting for the
boys recovery, which is expected shortly.

This years pension bill carries an appro-
priation of $139, s47. 600. This is more than
any of the great military nations pay in time
of peace, for its whole military establishment.
1t is curious to note, further, that the total Is
greater than for the current year. Though
the increase is slight, it shows that the addi-
tons to the pension roll are still in excess of
any falling off, although 81 years have passed
since the last gun was fred in the Civil War,
and there are more names upon the pay roll
now than there were then.
