SPEAKER REED AT HOME. Given an Ovation on His Way From Boston to Portland, WIS REVIEW OF THE SITUATION—SUMMING UP WHAT THE REPUBLICANS HAVE DONE—-LEGIS- LATION THAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED— MINORITY CRITICISED—EVILS OF FILIBUSTERING. Speaker Reed was given awarm welcome in Massachusetts and Maine. His train was greeted by crowds all along his journey—at Heverhill, Dover, Salmon Falls, North Berwick. Ke..nebunk and Saco. Last night at Portland Mr. Reed addressed 3,000 people at the city hall. He was unable to proceed at first for the long continued applause. . SPRAKE ED'S SPEECH. Mr. Reed sar Parties have their years of depression and their years of exaltation just as individuals have their moments of depression and of good cheer. Parties have periods when they ao great work and periods when they scem to have no other hope than the mere preservation of existence. Since 1874, when the republican party first faltered in its great duty of preserving liberty and equality before the law for all citizens of the United States. a republican House of Representatives has been rare. This has not been because there is no longer a republican majority, but because by frauds too apparent to be denied, by ballot box atufling too notorious to be disputed, twenty- tive seats in the House have been wrested from us under the open. defiant deciaration that the southern democratic white man shall not only rule the black man of the south, but the white man of the north. Two years ago, under the tremendous stress caused by the battle set in artay by the free traders, the republican party trigmphed so signally that even the cohorte of fraud were routed, and after a few ineffectual straggles to count us out we had the House by the small majority of five instead of our real majority of twenty-five. THREATS OF THE MINORITY. “Long before Congress assembled the air had becn resonant with the hopes and threats of the minority, with declarations that they were torule in utter disregard of the will of the of the United States. At the very worst © measure should pass which did not havethe sanction of their high approval. If any man here thinks they reckoned without their host, they had no foundation on which to build their hopes and their threats, he knows little of the deep-laid schemes of many years to ren- der the r-publicans powerless whenever they should g2t control. For years rule has been piled upon rule and decision upon decision to Fender logisiation dependent upon the suffer- ance of the minority. Filibustering lurked in line, The power of obstruction was without limit. You will naturally ask why it Was that thoso Who most of the time had the majority should so strengthen the minority. If Jou will consider the nature of the two parties the cause cannot escape you. The democratic party wants no legislation. It is not charged ‘with the progress of the world. All the soutb- ern men who control the party want or ask for is to be let alone. When the republican party comes into power it has work to do. If that ac- tion can be prevented what more should the southern democracy desire? Hence all their plans, whether in power or out of power, are centered in obstruction. EVIL OF FILIBUSTERING. “Now, the House of Representatives is not a body quick to do business under any set of rules. Its large numbers and the divers inter- ests they represent will always make it slow and cumbersome. But a system which en- abled one member to hold the whole House at bay until the going down of the sun, and then to hold it until physical exhaustion set it free, ne-fifth to hold it forever, was evidently tem which rendered elections useless and called a halt to civilization itself. Of what use was it to summon into the field an army of orators to explain the questions of party policy? Of what use was it that the great throng of journals set themselves to ex- plain to the people the needs of the hour? Of what use was an election itself, that grand culmination of the power of the citizens, if after all nothing could be done without the sanction of the beaten party? What states- man could there be so foolish as to battle for power with responsibility when he could have the same power without responsibility? at kind of a fight is that to go into where the victim will be victorious and the conqueror powerless? Says the Koran: ‘Dost thou think, U man. that wecreaied the heavens and the earth in jest? Are elections a farce, and is government by the people a juggle?’ Do we marshal our tens of millions to the polls for sport? If there be anything 1m popular gov- ernment it means that whenever the people have elected one party to take control of the House or the Senate that party shall have both the power and the responsibility. If that is not the effect, what is the use of the election? Itwas with far other ideas of public duty that the minority met us at the opening of the session. Not only were no measures to pass which did not have their approval, but no rules even of procedure were to be permitted except those which seemed suitable to the beaten party. NOT PROUD OF HIMSELF. “So we began life without any rules, The Constitution says ‘the House may determine the rules of its procedure,’ and does not say that it must. After two months’ time the op- eS found that under the Parliamentary jaw which has been built up by the American people in consonance with their institutions the public business was going on eve! y without their consent, and they began to ¢lamor for the very rules they had denounced. F heed not describe to you the scenes of dis- order which were preliminary to the establish- ment of sound business principles in the House. It is enough to say that the good work was done and the House of Representatives has taken a large stride toward business and the performance of duty. Will you, my old friends and neighbors, permit me just one word which is purely personal? Any time these last eight months I have been the subject of much indis- eriminate praise and much indiscriminate blame. The one is just as much deserved as the other. ¢ events do not tarn upon one man. © of Representatives was ready and ripe for change and the people stood ready to approve. What all the world wanted was easy to do. I am not greatly proud to be Speaker of the House, but I am proud with all my heart to be oue of that magnificent major- of the House of resentatives of the y-first Con; which for nine long months bas never for one moment faltered in its duty, REPUBLICAN YROMISES EXCEEDED. “When we cleared the decks for action there was plenty of work todo, and we have done it to the fall measure of satisfaction. We have achieved all thatthe republican party prom- ised. and more. Most platforms are but glit- tering generalities—good enough for the cam- paign—but our last platform has been treated by the House of Representatives like a deed of We promised the peoplo that the tariff should have fair and exhaustive treatment, that the principle of protection should have Tull recognition, and in three important bills we lave kept the promise to the hope. By the administrative bill a wiso and discriminating effort has been made to secure to our mann- facturers and merchants the complete benefit of the rates of duty imposed by law. By vir- tue of that bill we hope we have bid farewell to those wicked undervaluations which cheated the honest importer out of his trade and the houest maunfacturer out of his business. We hope that we have made valuations and duties alike in all ports, so that men may choose with- vut loss freely where they will land their goods. THE TAMIFY. “Two years ago the democracy in the House admitted that, owing to the cbange in the methods of manufacturers, the whole woolen industry was tottering to a fall unless woolens and worsteds were put upon a footing of equal. ity." Nevertheless, for the par] ‘of adding to the votes of the Mills bill, which could never pasa, they sacrificed the woolen industry, which needed mmmediate attention. Without delay and without waiting to strengthen their own tarnff bill by the support of the worsted men Maj. McKinley and Gov. Dingley pushed through the measure of Justice which has res- cued so many of our woolen mills from disas- ter and ruin. “But these bills, useful as they are, were but the foreruuners of that tariff bill over which the Senate are ng? og” the multitudinous waves of oratory. McKinley bill was not made in the closet; was not the product of one maa who tried to know everything. If any est was represented, an: ithad the correction of every fact. If a bill fashioned in that way, after fall consulta’ on with all the le, does not contain the wishes and the wit of the United States, it iz use- less to hope for such a bill, SILVER LEGISLATION, “Another great achievement of the House of Representatives is the silver bill. It was nec- essary to provide such increase of currency as would supply the loss of circulation of na- national banks, such increase, too, as would Provide a growing peoplo with the money they need for more prosperous business, The min- ing camps, the t ssewe pioneers pf civilization in the tar west, rved also all the encour- agement they could havo consistent with sound currency and genuine bimetallism. On that subject the republicans had promised that all the silver dollars should be furnished which could be kept equal with gold. Such a bill, fulfilling that promise to the uttermost, now adorns our statute books asa tribute to the wise conservatism of the republican majority of the House. Already silver seems to be climbing to par with safety to all the interests of the country. “There was also anothcr promise to be kept, made !ong ago, and often renewed. For years the republican party have declared most right- eously that there could not be ins republic a duty more sacred than tho duty of upholding the right of every citizen to participate in gov- ernment. Who has forgotten the ringing words of that great soldier, so soon to lic among the unforgotten brave on the heights of Arlington: ‘The people have made up their minds that they will have a toyal government and an honest Lallot and a fair count?’ THE ELECTION BILL. “The House of Representatives, true to its duty, has passed a bill which, when it becomes a law, will give to the people of the United States the suffrages of millions, It will enable yotes to be cast and to be counted as cast. What an enormous hubbub has been raised about that simple bill, There has been noth- ing like it since Walter Scott described the up- rising of the virtuous people of Alsatia on the approach of asheriff. What is this bill on which so many interesting epithets have been rained. It is a simple proposition to have United States supervisors to see that Unite States clections of United States officers shal be honestly conducted; that all honest votes shall be cast and honestly counted as cast, If there be any man in this country who opposes this bill there will not be many years before he will look like those who proclaimed the divine origin of slavery. That the democrats now de- nounce with violent epithets arepublican me: ure is no new fact in their history. So pei cuted they the saints. When Abraham Lincoln proclaimed that this land conld not be perma- nently half free and half slave the democracy of my younger days nll declared that he said so because he wanted his sister to marry a negro. So when the republicans of our day prociaim that in a republic one million of voters can never be permanently disfranchised the demo- cratof our day shouts ‘negro domination’ and ‘bayonets.’ “Lneed not, however, explain or defend the elections bill, The distinguished author of that bill, Mr. Lodge, bas left nothing for mo to say, since ho has himself, toid you the true story of its meaning. LABOR LEGISLATION. “Notwithstanding the fact that by far the greater number of journals which reprosont organized labor aro against the republican party, notwithstanding the fact that their committee on legisiation departed declaring, some ‘of them, that no legislation could be had from the republican House, it remains a fact that every bill which they presented without an exception has been taken up, considered, debated and, with proper amen ments, has been passed. A dispute also aris- ing out of the first eight-hour law, a dispute im which this district is interested, which has been before Congress long before my day, has by this House been sent for judicial determina- tion to the Court of Claims, and, if the Senate shall agree, that vexed question shull be settled by acourt of law and the men interested will receive their just dues or know that they never bad any. HOW TIME 18 WASTED. “Having thus completed a brief review of the more important measures passed by the House a list of measures which will probably be found in importance and usefulness without a parallel in the history of the country, Ishould do but scant justice to the body to which I be- long if I stopped there. To fally enable you tocomprehend the magnitude of the work done and the courageous persistency of the majority I must detail, even if but briefly, the difficulties under which the work bas been done. Every inch of our progress has been contested by the opposition. Highway rob- bery of time has been abolished; petty larceny has not. Only a strong. vigorous public senti- ment prevailing among all the constituencies will ever do that. Some of the wastes of time I shall describe to you. We spent two months and half in organization, in the preliminary struggles to settle the right of the majority to control, andin determining the rules of the House proceedings. We were forced to spend more time on contested elections than any democratic Congress because the fraudulent certiticates came from the southern states, and we were obliged to consume the time of the House iv giving those members seats who could have had certificates in the beginning had they been fairly treated. So justly were the democrats treated by the returning officers that not a single tbr apse seat has been con- tested. Our loss of time from contested elec- tions will not be less than twenty days. TOO MUCH OBITUARY ELOQUENCE. “One other cause of the loss of time will be @ surprise, perhaps, to the community at large. Noman would regret more than I to be thought wanting in all proper respect for the dead and all proper reverence for departed comrades and for the teelings of surviving friends, yet the method by which the House shows this respect and pays this reverence is very costly to the nation. Since tho election of the present House ten members have died and one Senator. Among them have been the most famous men of the House—William D. Kelly, the great champion of protection; Samuel J. Randall, heart of oak and will of iron, the strongest force in half a century, and Samnel Sullivan Cox, at once brilliant and laborious, When we have paid due reverence and spoken proper eulogy over these and their companions not less than twenty-one working days will have to be counted. is means almost an entire month of time. When John Bright died the English house thought it could best honor his memory by going on with tho business of the country. These losses which I have enu- merated could not perhepe be helped without greater reforms than can be hoped for in many years. But what is about to be described could be avoided by either the commonest patriotism or a healthy public sentiment in the House. It ought to be known all over the United States that with 330 members it takes twenty-five minutes to make a rollcall. Whenever the yeas and nays are ordered it means a loss of half an bour. Our ancestors, when they established in the Con- stitution the provision for the yeas and nats, did not know how fearful they were wasting the time of unborn generations, Now the ses- sion of the House a one mouth and a-half longer thaa the present ses- sion thus far. During that séusion of two years ago there were two hundred and twenty-six roll calls, of which eighty-six were recorded during the long filibuster against the direct tax bill, leaving but one hundred and forty which were sceming|y legitimate. I euy these one hundred and forty were seemingly legitimate, for I have uo doubt that onc hundred would have fully complied with the demands of the Constitution, One hundred roll calls would have been more than ample for all proper pur- poses for the whole of this session. And yet we have had four hundred. Three hundred of these bave been utterly useless—mere wanton waste. A legislative day, exclusive of the read- ing of the journal, is a se: hundred roll calls then mean twenty-five leg: lative days. Think of twenty-five legislative days wasted in mero useless calling over of names, and all done to waste time, with the public business unfinished, PARTY RESPONSIBILITY. “But in closing what I have had to say it would not be just to rest the claims of the House — ren the catalo; of its great ds, What the House has shown the coun- try that any House can do is worth a prince's ransom. Henceforth promises canuot be ex- cused except by performance. “Henceforth great measures cannot be lost and nobody know what has become of them. Party responsibility has begun, and with it also the responsibility of the people, for they can uo longer elect a democratic House and hope that the a neutralize their action, or a republican House without being sure that it will keep its pledges. If we have en the precedents ofan hundred years, we have set the precedents of snother hundred years, nobler than the last, wherein responsibility will wait on power, and wherein the people, H. G. O. Morrison, one of the oldest pioneers ot Minneapolis, a prominent ‘died St Paul, seventy-three EVENING STAR: HE WANTED “GREEN GOODS.” A Maryland Farmer Who May Find Himself in the Penitentiary. . . Chief Post Office Inspector E. G. Rathbone has been organizing a raid on the men who write letters offering to sell counterfeit money and those who answer them offering to buy. The law of March 2, 1899, makes the sender of a letter in reply to the circulars of these men equally guilty with them. Between forty and fifty letters addressed to Adam P. Conklin, Hoboken, N.J., have been seized and J. J. 8. Nicholson of Matthewstown, Md., the writer of one of these letters, was arrested yesterday by Post Office Inspectors J. E. Jacobs and A. G. Stoutenburgh, charged with using the mails for illegal Nicholson was arraigned _— fore United States Commissioner ogers in Baltimore and was committed in de- | fault of $1,500 bail. Conklin is said to be an old offender, and hundreds of his circulars are in the ion of the postai authorities, The counterfeit money purporting to be for sale is stated to have been printed trom genuine plates stolen from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in the Treasury Department, The post office in- spectors do not believe thet Conklin really handles counterfeit money. They think it is the old sawdust game, pure and simple. If wouid-be purchasers of the “‘green goods” ask for asumple they are furnished with one in the shape of a genuine @1 silver certificate bill, which they have no trouble in passing. ‘The letter that caused the arrest asked that $50 be in ones and the rest in fives, moderately worn. The penalty for an offense under the law of March, 188% is eighteen months in the peniten- tiary and $500 fine. A STARTLING FAILURE. Sawyer, Wallace & Co., of New York, Make an Assignment, The assignment of Sawyer, Wallace & Co., of New York, came like a thunder clap out of a clear sky, and wasa surprise on all the ex- changes and street. Samuel A. Sawyer, David L. Wallace and Thomas Miller comprise the firm, exporters of breadstuffs and cotton and dealers in leaf tobacco at No. 18 Broadway. The cause is the losses the firm have sus- tained in their toreign option business, The first intimation of aay trouble was just before the closing hour of the exchanges, when a number of the firm’s contracts were closed out. Shortly before the closing of the couuty clerk's office a goneral assignment. without any pref- erences, to Marshall Ayres was filed. The firm made the following statement: “It is with inexpressible sorrow that we are forced to close our thirty-seven years’ business career by a general assignment for the benefit ot our creditors, Our resources have been completely exhausted by losses in our foreign option business (wheat and provisions chiefly) conducted through London. Owing to the number and variety of these foreign accounts We cannot state the amount of our liabilities or assots, but when we can do so a meeting of our creditors will be called if they so desire. Mean- time we have turned over to our assignee, Mr. Marshall Ayres of the city of New York, ail our assets, both partnership and individual, with- Pape preference of creditors, Sawyer, Wallace 0. Tho firm had branch houses in the following cities: London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Marseilles, Madrid, ‘is, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Buda Pesth, Trieste, Leghorn, Barcelopia, Lisvon, Mann- heim and Havre, Houses on Wallstreet say the cause of the failure was the result of the efforts made by the firm to squelch competitors in the commission business by doing their commission business with European speculators without a margin and at a small commission. In the pork deal last January the firm is said to have sustained losses of $1,000,000 on this account. The claims for these losses against European speculators are among the nominal assets. It is estimated that the sum total of nominal assets will reach $1,750,000, among which are included the #1,000,000 lost in the pork deal. It is believed that they have protected their interests inthis country and that their chief losses, which may reach’ 1,500,000, will be in London and mainly on their pork dealings, It was said that some losses had been made through speculations of young Mr. Sawyer. A FATAL B. AND O. WRECK. Two Brakemen Killed and an Engi- neer Dangerously Wounded. About 8 o'clock Wednesday night an engine on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad ran into » freight train of about twenty cars at Manning- ton, W.Va., Wrecking the entire train, killing two brakomen and dangerously wounding En- gineer Cordell, After the accident the wreck took fire and sixteen cara and contents were consumed, The wreck was a very bad one, blockading the line, and no trains could be gotten through yesterday. Judge Noyes’ Sudden Death. E. F. Noyes, judge of the superior court of Cincinnati, who fell dead shortly after 11 o'clock yesterday, had been on the bench and heard an injunction case, but as he was too un- well to proceed he left the bench and was on his way to the street car when, at the corner of the court house, he suddenly fell backward and died instantly. ‘The cause is supposed to be apoplexy. Judge Noyes was about fifty-seven years old, He entered the Union army at Cin- cinnati in 1861 as major of the thirty-ninth Ohio regiment of infantry and soon afterward bocame its colonel. July 4, 1864, nt Ruff's Mills, Ga,, in a charge upon the enemy's earthworks, which he led, he lost a leg. He left the army a brevet brigadier general. Since the war he served as city solicitor of Cincinnati. as pro- bate judge of Hamilton county, as governor of Onio and was minister to France under ap- pointment of President Hayes, Last year he was elected to the office of judgo of the supe- rior court of Cincinnati for a term of five years He had returned ten days ago from a twenty days’ vacation spent upon the sea coast and appeared to be in excellent health. He leaves a wife and one son, who is about twenty-four yenrs old. Judge Noyes was widely known a0 public speaker of more than ordinary power and in nearly évery political campaign sinco the war he has been active not only in Ohio but in other states as & campaign speaker, = ta Leasing of Convicts Abolished. The Mississippi constitutional convention was in session all day yesterday and finally dis- posed of the penitentiary question by the adop- tion of a substitute for the committee report, which does not materially change the original report, but gives the legislature a larger dis- cretion than was at first proposed. It provides that no convicts shall ever be leased or hired to any person or corporation, Paplic or private, after December 1, 1894, and that the legis! ture shall abandon the leasing system as soon possible. The judiciary committee, to whom was referred the question as to the authority of the convention to enacta constitution without submitting the same to jhe people for ratifica- tion, submitted its report. The committee ex- press the opinion that the convention may con- etitutionally make the constitution or ametid- ments which it shall adopt absolute and final, without submitting the question of ratification or rejection to the qualified voters of the es ‘Why Weaver Will Not Run.

THE EVENING STAR is offered to the pu lic, in good faith and with confidence, as THB BEST LOCAL ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE UNITED STATES. In point of fact, may be truthfully said that it is without ap equal in this respect any where in the world These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on euch Monday in the year, and condensed | from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tuz Stan on the | 18th of January, 1890. Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— LL. The Star has three times the circa- lation of any other paper in Washing= tout 2 The Star's circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other daily Papers published in the city added to gether!! 3. The Star has a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchase | ing population, than any other news: paper in the world!!! 4. The Star bas the Jargest regular and permancnt home circutation et any two-cont afternoon paper in the United States !t!! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: DAILY CIRCULATION Iw 1835-96-87-88-8B, 1SS3. 1856. 1887.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- ecribers. ‘The remaining 6,740 copics represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, ond by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied regularly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), go that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle, While ita aggregate circulation there fore gives Tut Stan a distinctine and enviable position in modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which | ft is relied upon by members of the | household, and particularly by the pur- chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper. It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the fall satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising bueiness men of Washington, who scek and kuow where to find’ THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tae Stan's advertising patronage Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which «ny article is beld by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by | mopth, and year by ycar,—in the face of ad- verve claims and pretentiouscompetition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF KEW ADVERTISEMLNTS *RINTED Lt 1885-86-87 88-88. 3886, 1887. 155%, 1889. 2,785 3,200 3,615 4,076 4,550 3.847 3,024 4,528 4,669 4,603 5,495 5,475 4,956 5.556 5,395 5,171 6,033 4,006 5,520 3,915 4,483 3.508 4,608 5,412 6,559 4,689 6,107 5,007 5,795 in the way of tax sales, poll lists, eiection returns, ‘etc., such as occasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included in its patrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, fm proportion to the extent and high charactet of its circulation, Tux Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hereis e can be abundantly verified THE CIR
