CLEVELAND, the Washington Cufstal learns, didn’t want her husband re-elected, and doesn’t want him renominated. Undoubt- edly Mrs. Cleveland is sincere in everything she says; but when Grover and she assume indifference to ‘92 they are taking the best method of sending themselves to the front again. And one is so changeable when a nomination to the presidency is involved! Grover was so changeable in 1888, and so forgetful of a letter in behalf of one term only that he didn’t recall it until he had been whipped! People are honest, but they are so uncertain! MR. REED AND CONGRESS. REPUBLICANS of the house can do no better work this ses- sion than they have done in selecting Thomas B. Reed of Maine for speaker. His aggressiveness is pronounced, but tempered with most excellent judgment. His experience is large, and in all his progress to the leadership of the house there has been no uncertain or backward step. He is a thorough protection- ist, but conservative enough to counsel no radical tariff legislation that would not be wise. He is a self-made man, and there is no young man who cannot contem- plate his career with en- couragement to himself, or old one who cannot look upon it with pride as a new vindication of our system of politics. With a broad, lib- eral mind; with the shrewd- ness and far - sightedness which the Republican party just now especially needs; a plain, honest man, gifted as to thought and speech; a Republican with the good of his party at heart; a man whom his opponents for the speakership and his enemies in the other great party re- spect, Mr. Reed is better for the position than any other man that might be men- tioned. And this may be said without reflection upon Mr. McKinley, or the other gentlemen who aspired to the place, each of whom would have made a good speaker, but not one of whom would have been so precisely the right man for the chair. . With the work of organization thus admirably begun, the Republican party of the country may look with confidence for a profitable session. And it needs to be good work throughout. With the three branches of the government in Republican hands, and with at least one very serious question to be acted upon, there will be more than the usual amount of danger in any mistake that may be made. Congress must be courageous, but cautious; it must act as well as debate. Fortunately the party is united the country through, and will support, from the first to the last man, every enactment that is wise and just. LULLABY.
