it does not apply equally i'll all things,

IN PRAISE OF THOMAS B. REED.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Some men have greatness thrust
upon them, but few are born great or
greatly accomplish.
Thomas B. Reed. from plain surround
ings and humble beginnings. made steady
and consistent progress toward greatness.
II was no surprise TO those who knew
him intimately at home and abroad that
he became an heroic figure in the nation
but only that his real qualities of construc-
tive leadership and his giant intellect were
so slightly appreciated nationally.
With him 10 perceive the right was great
ly TO pursue it He was no tyrant or czar,
but kindly generous and great in his
broad and comprehensive view of men
and affairs. His natural, innate modesty
was most charming, but he had courage,
fearlessness and the strategy of a lion
when aroused in matters of reform and
progress.
His Iife's work and victories, great and
small no monument can more fully per-
petuate than the deep lines in which they
are engraved in the hearts of his friends
When Reed was 'stumping in York
County. Me, in one of his early canvasses'
after speech a woman rushed forward,
shook his hand and said: There, l have
shaken hand with Tom Reed, future
President, and ] never intend TO wash my
hand again.

PAINFUL But INEVITABLE.

Some comment has arisen upon d
painful incident which was recently re-
ported from the local immi grant station.
An aged Russian was SO desirous of en-
tering this country that he tried 10 dye
his beard SO as to make himself appear
Younger than he was. The trlch was
detected and an Investigator was
made. He was found TO be not GRIM
inal nor suffering from any contagious
disease But he was so old as 10 De
bevGnd the age of confident self-support,
he had scarcely any money or other
property and be had no relatives or
friends here who would take care or
him. He was therefore likely to become
Il charge upon the public for support,
and he was accordingly excluded and de-
ported.
1t was a sad case. The disappolnt-
ment of the poor. old man was heart
rendinG. He had come hither hoping to
spend his last years in at least less dis
comfort and privation than he had SUI
fered in Russia. He probably had hoped
to engage in some profitable occupation
suited to his years. or. failing that. to
find here more abundant charity than
Russia afforded But he was sent back
TO the lot from which he had fled, even
worse off than he had been before he
came hither. since much of his scanty
means had been spent on the frultless
voyage It is not pleasant to imagine
the feelings with which he returned
from the inhospitable New World to the
inhospitable Old,
Yet practically the incident was lneV-
liable. Had it been in fact and in po-
tentiality unique. it would have been In
human and intoIerable We could not
afford to repel thus just one solitary
supplicant for asylum. But once the
precedent We're set Of admitting one
such the door would be open for an in
fiux of myriads Of the aged. intirm and
empaupered of all lands. That would
be a burden which humanity does not
require US TO assume and which. indeed,
discretion. regard for our own security
and prosperity and a sense OF justice
toward the existing population or TINS
country all earnestly forbid. 1t is Lard
TO bar the gate against the needy. but
If would be worse still to open II with
out discrimination

pressed in your paragraph from which l

THE DIFFICULTIES OF TURKEY.
After two years of revolution and
reform the new era in Turkey seems
TO be so well established as to warrant
expectation that it Will be enduring
There are probably many observers who
are agreeably disappointed. having looked
for q speedy reversion to q worse state
than the former: and also many who
are disappointed because they expected
greater degree of progress than has
been effected. Avoiding these extremes,
the more judicious view was that prog
ress would be generally sustained and
sure, though it would naturally be slow
and subject to fuctuations and this
view has been verified by the course of
events
Our Paris correspondent presents to-
day the observations Of an exceptionally
Informed and expert authority, 10 the
general effect that the Ottoman Empire
is now suffering from what we may de-
scribe as one natural but not altogether
regrettable difficulty, and from two not
unnatural but, we may hope, temporary
evils. The difficulty, il so 1t may be de-
seribed, is the radical difference or ma
tonal policy between the two major
parts OF the population, the Arabs and
the Turks. The former are for decen-
