fine TRIBUTE TO REED
Mark Twain's Glowing Appre-
ciation Of the Ex-Speaker.
HIS FUND OF HUhoR LIKE A MINE

-
morist-Loss Of Such q Man Re-
gardedl as Unthinkable ~ Was the
vanishing Of tho Campanile.
To the memory Of Thomas Bracket
Reed, ex-speaker Of the house Of rep
resentatives, Mark Twain pays the fol-
lowing tribute in HaHper's Weekly:
He wore no she'll. His ways were
frank and open, and the road to his
large sympathies was straight and un-
obstructed. His was a nature which
Invited affection-compelled it, in fact
and met it half way. Hence he was

to half of the nation. The abbreviating
of such mans name is patent Of
nobility and Is conferred from the
heart Mr.. Reed had a very strong and
decided character. and he may have
had enemies. do not know. If he had
them-outside of politics-they did not
know the man. He was transparently
honest and honorable, there were no
furtivenesses about him, and whoever
came to know him trusted him and
was not 6isa appoillteG. iIv was wise,
he was shrcwd and alert, he was a
clear and capable thinker, logical
reasoner and strong and convincing
speaker. His manner was easy and
engaging. his speeches sparkled with
felicities of phrasing thrown off with
out apparent effort. and when he need
ed the happy help of humor he had a
mine of it as deep and rich as Kimber-
ly to draw from. His services to his
country were great, and they were
gratefully acknowledged.
I cannot remember back to tim'
when he was not TON" Reed 10 me
nor to time when he would have been
offended at being so addressed by me.
I cannot remember back to time
when could let him alone in an after
dinner speech If he was present nor to
a time when he did not take my eX-
travagances concerning him and mis-
statements about him in good part nor
yet to a time when he did not pay then,
back with usury when his turn came.
The last speech he made was at my
birthday dinner at the end Of Novem-
II Der, when naturally was his text.
Ny last word to him was in letter
the next day. A day later l was illus,
trattng fantastic article ON art with
his portrait among others, portrait
now to be laid reverently away among
the jests that begin In humorN and end
in pathos. These things happened only
few days ago. and now he is gone
from us. and the nation is speaking of
him as one who was. 1t seems incredi-
BILE. impossible. Such man. such a
friend, seems to us permanent pos
session. His vanishing from our midst
Is unthinkable. as unthinkable as was
the vanishing Of the campanile that
had stood for thousand years and
was turned to dust in moment.
~ have no wish Mt this time to enter
upon light and humorous reminis-
cences connected with yachting voy-
ages with Mr.. Reed In northern and
southern seas nor with other recrea-
tions in his company in other places.
They do not belong In this paper. they
do not invite me. they would jar upon
me. l have only wished to say how
fine and beautiful was his life and
character and to take him by the hand
and say goodby as to n fortunate
friend who has done well his work
and goes a pleasant journey.

Fargo's Water System Unsatisfactory.

40
Fargoans are becoming decidedly in
terested in a water supply. The pres
ent system is unsatisfactory as the
fluid is unfit for either drinking or
culinary purposes and in the spring it
is. a mixture that defies the analysis
of a chemist. All kinds of plans have
been suggested. from artesian we'll
supplies to piping water from some of
the Minnesota lakes. 1t is thought
that Fargo and Moorhead could unite
in a system. The water committee OF
the Fargo council has been struggling
with the matter for some weeks and
is formulating renort to submit to
the council. In addition to the poo
water supply of the local system the
plant is operated at loss, and it is
possible that the meter system will
beSadopted or fiat rate made higher.

EsTEE,
United States District Judge, District of
Hawaii.
December "a, 1902
JUDGE HIGHTON'S STATEMENT.
Henry E. Highton, in an interview
with a reporter of the Pacific Com
mercial Advertiser, in relation to the
decision of Judge Estee, said:
The action against Mr.. Peacock, the
motion to strike out parts of his an
swer, and the decision of Judge Estee,
are, in no sense, in the slightest degree,
a reflection upon his integrity or truth.
Whether there is or is not unnecessary
acerbity in the proceedings, it is not
for me to say. Upon that point the in
structions of the Treasury Department
seemed to convey g, correct understand
ing of the. situation. Mr.. Peacock had
no personal interest in the Julia E.
Whalen, and merely purchased the yes
sci for the Marcus Island Guano Com
pany. When it was determined to OBJ
only the factotum for that purpose.
Mr.. Peacock had voted under the mon
archy, and, as l am informed, when the
Organic Act was passed, there was a
serious question mooted among law
yers, as to whether he and others in
a corresponding situation did or did not
instantly become citizens of the United
States. AT all events, to save any pos
sfble doubt and also to crafty his own
wishes, he was formally naturalized be-
fore he conveyed the Julia E. Whalen
beneficially owned.
Lawyers understand perfectly well
that a decision that an answer is
evasive, sham, immaterial and irrele-
want involves no charge of moral OBJ
liquity. A defendant of the tenderest
conscience, in meeting a complaint un-
der oath, is the most likely to bring
himself within these legal objections to
his pleading. A motion to strike out,
such as has been presented in this case,
is mode of testing the question wheth-
er, in law, denials are sufficiently direct
and positive. 1t may be appropriately
added that the Collector of Customs of
Honolulu, on request from the attorneys
for Mr. Peacock, declined to allow the
oath attributed to that gentleman, al
though presumptively in the proper
book, to be examined. without written
permission from the Treasury Depart
ment The attorney who drew the COM
plant must have had access to the
paper, which is not set forth in words,
as it is written, but pleaded according
to the Interpretation adopted of its SUBJ
stance and effect
.Flaring headings and comments
might easily convey false impression
of the whole matter, which might be
interpreted in a sense that would reflect
upon kamaaina, well known and re-
spected on these islands and else
