present in the body and under the
eye of the Speaker. This device was
to be employed in the Fifty-frst Con-
gress to defeat proposed tariff legis-
lation. The Republican majority,
with Speaker Reed as it's leader, pro-
posed to remove this abuse. When
the crisis came, and the minority re-
sorted to the old dodge to deprive the
House of quorum, the Speaker pro-
ceeded to count non-voting members
before him and reckon them in the
number necessary to constitute aquo-
rum.
The battle was long and bitter. A
storm of opposition was aroused and it
broke with vindictive fury on the
head of the Speaker. Mr. Reed was
the one man among million for the
emergency. Cool and deliberate in
the riot raging about him, assailed as
never was a Speaker before, he rode
the storm as the eagle rides the gale
Never faltering, never erring, ever
ready for the assault on his rulings,
he came through the revolution of
parliamentary procedure i'll complete
and most brilliant triumph.
Denounced by the Democratic mi
nority with unmeasured violence and
bitterness, nevertheless, in the ensu-
ing Congress when in the seesaw of
political fortunes, the Democrats were
themselves in the majority, they
adopted Speaker Reeds rules, and
these rules were subsequently sus-
taineud by the Supreme Court of the
United States. 1t was the most re-
markable battle and victory in parlia-
mentary history-and Mr.. Reed was
it's hero.

THOMAS b. REED.

Excepting the President himself is
there a man in all the United States
whose death would produce Il sensa-
tion so profoud, cause regret and sOr-
row 50 deep and Widespread, whose
name would have homage so high, ms
that of Thomas Bracket Reed? Would
the departure OF the Russian Gar
evoke such demonstrations of honor as
follow upon the demise of the Ameri-
can "Czar?"
The events of his life are briefly
stated. He was born at Portland, he
received the customary education of
the American youth of the middle
class, he graduated from the college
of his native State, he served his coun-
try in the navy in the time when the
nations life was in deadly peril, he
began the practice of the law in the
city of his Ls-th, he represented that
city in both branches of the Legisla-
ture, he was attorney general of his
State, he was the solicitor of his ma
tive city. events following cosecutive-
~ on his first entrnce into active
affairs; and from public life in his own
Washington, its Representative in the
10th Congress of the United States.
In that larger field of usefulness and
development he came directly TO the
fore front in the leadership of his party,
an Office he held by the glad assent and
insistence of his party till he volun-
tarily resigned political life to resume,
after Il score of years, the practice of his
profession in the nations great met
ropolis. in which he continued to shine,
the beacon light of chiefest bril-
liancy in contemporaneous affairs.
What Tom Reed thought, what Tom
Reed wrote or said, was instantly ac.
corded the respect and interest due TO
the thoughts or words of the prime
minister of American public opinion.
The bald statement of the facts Of
MIR Reeds career, from the school
boy to the time when his will and
towering personality dominated the
national House of Representative in
1890, in a parliamentary revolution
that made that branch OF Congress
whit he had said it was not, delib-
erative hody, is the merest skeleton of
a Biographical story.
The elimination of MIR. Reeds par
liamentary career was reached in the
Fifty-frst Congress. For the fist
time since the return Of the Southern
States toful representation in ON
gre,S the Republicans had majority
in the House of Representatives The
Senate was Republican, and the
Chief Executive was Republican.

Paine'S Celery

Is An InfaIIibIe Cure for All Forms of
RHEUMATISM.

Although we are all born with prin-
ciples of dissolution in our frame
which continue to operate from our
birth to our death, we are under obi
CATION to Heaven and our loved ones to
keep ourselves free from disease and
suffering. While death must come to
every human being, pain may be avoid
ed and our days made happy and long,
if we keep the blood and physical
structure in proper condition
At this tine, we warn the thousands
of rheumatic sufferers of the folly and
danger of allowing rheumatism to run
unchecked at this season of the year,
we can comfort them with the happy
assurance that Paine's Celery Com
pound permenantly cures the terrible
disease. This wonderful medicine has
won the hearty indorsation of medi-
cal men, and its virtues are lauded by
tens of thousands rescued from agony
and death. Mr.. Charles w. Tucker,

LITTLEFIELD ON TRUSTS.

Mr.. Littlefield of Maine proposes to
regulate the trusts by requiring every
commercial organization with more
than So, 900 capital to file annually a
statement giving the particulars of its
organization the names of constituent
companies; detailed return of capital
stock itemized return of indebted
ness; assets at present market value
earnings, income, expenses, divi-
dends, salaries and wages.
All other inquiries are to he an
swered upon oath; capital stock not
paid in to be taxed one per cent and
this tax collected; penalty for neg
lect an injunction, and the Interstate
Commerce Commission to publish the
returns received.
Any plan may be a good one,
The better it is, the more difficult
of adoption by Congress. Congress
can regulate the trusts if it will.
The Notwithstanding to prob
ability is that Congress doesn' I
want to, and won't, This possibility
pertains chiefly to the Senate. Sena-
tors in one way or another, directly OF
Indirectly, in interest or sympathy,
are allied with the trusts-at least,
so it appears. The Senate appears
like Il body of men from whom has
been eliminated that virile patriotism,
that manly courage and independence,
that sturdy regard for duty, that puts
self interest Of every description stern
ly under foot. and labors and votes
for such laws as on honest convic-
ton from Independent information and
Judgment will be for the best interest
of the country, that is to say, the peo-
pie of the country.
There is a fine opportunity for Sen
ators and Representatives who would
object to being thus classed to show
that effelninacy has not overcome them,
that the wiles of the rich have
not ensnared them, that they have the
moral courage to stand up against, to
speak and labor against, combinations
of capital that manifestly are injuri-
GUS to the people at large. 1t will
be reassuring to see Senators and
Representatives indicating their per-
sonal regard for the duties and re-
sponsibilities of the high offices in
which they have been placed by the
vote of the people, their masters.
