SEATTLE MING CO.GROCERS,

SPEAKER REEDAs Sketched by ? San Fraaclsco Chronicle Artist.

If the member answered to his name hewas present. If he did not answer he wasnot present, although he might he sittingIn his seat on the floor of congress. Therefusal to answer to his name gave everymember of the house the power to Indulgein what has come to be known in parlia-mentary tactics as filibustering. Reed had-.one on record as being opposed to these

\u25a0 tics of obstruction, but it Is probablehat few. if any, of the members of theouse kne*v when Reed was elected speak-

er that he was going to cast precedents tothe winds, and to emhark in somethingabsolutely new and revolutionary In thematter of parliamentary procedure in thehouse.

that if he did not do it within that timethe correspondent would attack Reed inhis newspaper and teil all he knew. Reedreplied to this note very quickly andcurtly:

"Don't wait two days: do it now!"

Can Be Called m tiealni.

Mr. Rt»ed is certainly one of the mostbrilliant Among the party leaders. He isthe tfnly man who can be properly termeda genius. One would hardly think of ap-plying that term to Senator Allison, orGov. McKmley or Gov. Morton. Ex-Presl-dent Harrison, who has shown himself to

be one of the ablest of our pubKc men.would be termed a genius only by his mostdevoted admirers, while everybody elsewould say that he was a man of great tal-ent and great versatility and great forceof character. Reed is different, just asBlaine was different, with the differencewhich we try to indicate by calling a mana genius.

When the Fifty-first congress met it isprobable that Reed had already formedhis plan to do this. The Republican ma-jority was a narrow one. The Democraticminority had very many able leaders who

the organization of the houseand the conduct of its business at everypoint until finally th«> great day came.

When S.trineer. of Illinois, in one of them<»*t exciting sr-ene* which the house hasever wltn««*e,i. asked Heed by what au-thority he < ounted men as present whohad not answered to their names, Keedreplied that Ik- did it "under the author-ity of gen- ral parliamentary law." Thisreply K « become one of the famous My-in»» in political parlance.

It * in in February. I*oo. that Mr Reedfirtt counted a quorum. There were notRepublicans enough present to constitutea quorum, which Is. of course, one morethan half the number of members of thehouse Sickness and absence had reducedthe Republican moml*ershtp below thatpoint, and when the roll call disclosed th-itfa< t there was a hush In the house and amoment of great expectancy. Mr. Reedquietly noted the presence of enough Dem-ocrats to make a quorum and announced"that a quot im was present." The Dem-ocratic minority protested in the mostvigorous manner against the use of power,but Reed successfully carried his point.MeCrenry. of Kentucky, who was one ofthe men Reed noted as being present,ir ->e and asked how Reed knew he was

present. Reed replied in his inimitabledraw! and in tones of greatest sarcasm:

the gentleman deny that he ispresent?"

Mr. Reed was never appreciated by thecountry at large until wirhin the last sixor eigftt years, because of an intellectualIndifference which kept him from puttingforth his strength. If he had been ofBlaine's nervous. excitable and showy-ten perament. he would have had through-out his twenty year.* of congress the samepri'mtnerK-e that Blaine had throughouthis congressional career. But in Wash-ington City Reed has always recog-nised by those who had the chance ofhearing his remarkable conversation. Ifnot by chose who heard his speecnes andrea l what he w rote, as an unusual and or-iginal man from whom almost anythingm ght be expected in the way of intellec-tual achievement.

"A laiy giant," was the way he wassummed up a dozen years ago. and theonly question was whether the giantwould ever think it woriih while to ariseand show what he could do. Six yearslater he did arise, and he soon made hisname a household word all over th.s coun-try, and his doings familiar to all whoread newspapers and magazines in othercountries. Since then he has grown steai-ii> In the public estimation, and ins justas steadily developed his intellectual re-sources, until now he is recognized atsomething like his real value.

For the first ten years of his congres-sional career Reed made few set speeches.He was watchful and alert, however, andthere was little legislation during thatperiod which he did not follcw closely andof which he did not have a comprehensivegrasp. He was gradually forging aheadto the position of mentor of his party Inthe house, and on all the great questionsof the hour he expressed himself clearlyand intelligently. Hts candidacy for thespeakership In the Forty-ninth congressnaturally marked him as the Republicanleader, and as a party spokesman it thenbecame necessary for him tn attack or de-f'-nd at greater length than had previouslybeen his wont. His speeches from thistime on in relation to great public ques-''n \u25a0 h .s the tariff, the currency, for-«ic aff urs and other measures of the dayw» re strong, brilliant and cor, vim irg. Inlater years his public addressee both ina ! out of congress have stumped him as?* !> ? * of tremendous tr.te if- tt. d fon-e,»:th a eomprehen>ive gr *;> of our poli-te .ti an J economical probt.-ms such as isp<><>=-aed by but f«w othtr men in the

ways furious and the leading quality Isthat of c-o«e argument withclear statement.

His speech !n JSfW on the tariff quesfTon.when the Mills bill was 'before oongrt-vc.

was one of the most original and n»as,?r-

ful expositions of the subject in the entiredebate. <>Bher men knew a« mucti of thederails. Vut Mr. R>»e»i grasped an Warn-mated the ruifng principles. He had deep-ly studied and reflected en the fetchingfree trade fallacies of Rastiat, and pierced

fh«n» with a gleaming and merciless logic.His speerti on the Wilson bCi pursued anentirely different tine, rhe suVject from a whoTly distinct «»tandpoim. andit was no less original and brilliant titanhis earlier discussion of the polio - o£ pro-tection. He is not rlietorifai. but philo-sophical in his method. This truth issignally Illustrated in his remarkable cam-paign speech a: New York in ISS2. Alto-gether unfcke rtie ordinary campaign ora-tcry. ft was a masterful exposition of thegrowiti and underlying character and t na.

enctes of parties, and ft was distin-guished throughout by philosophic in3igh»

and the historic perspective.But after all it is true that, great as

Mr. Reed is in power of speech, tie is sti.lgreater in power of action. By his con-summate ruiership in the Fifty-first con-gress he made a new epoch in legislative

history. That achievement ranks among

the best triumphs of governmental genius

and marked a spirit and personality hornto rule. Senator Lodge said recently thatif our political system were like the En-glish. Mr. Reed would twice have beenprime minister and head of the govern-ment. and that he ranks with Henry Clay

and James O. Blaine as one of the threegreat speakers of American history. There

is no other in the Hat. accomplished andcapable as some of them were, that ap-proaches these three. The Philadelphia

Press not long ago observed; "His intel-lectual force and vitality, his towering

genius, his courage and independence, hismastery of men fit him for the sceptre. Heis a candidate for president by the divineright of conspicuous qualification, and ifhe should be nominated we should all havethe satisfaction and prme of feeling thathe is indeed of heroic proportions."

Mr. Reed has ail the strong New Eng-land traits and some of the fine ones. Hisfeet are always on rhe ground and his eyesare always on a level with those of othermen. There is nothing of the transcen-dentalist about him, and he is a philoso-pher rather than a poet, but he has idealsas well as ideas, and he admires and prac-tices the sterner virtues. His private lifeis irreproachable, and his home life isbeautiful. His wife and his daughter andhe are three most devoted and intimatefr.ends.

It was reported at one time that Mr.Reed contemplated miring from politics,to enter upon the practice of law in NewYor city. The people of his congres-sional district, however, persuaded himthat he was needed in the national legis-lature. Mr. Reed was renominated forcongress and elected by the largest ma-jority ever given him. After the statecampaign In Maine he started on a stump-ing tour, making speeches ? in severalstates and closing the campaign in Cali-fornia.

Tacoma. Nov. 10.?Special.?Thomas B.Reed, of Maine, speaker of the house ofrepresentatives, accompanied by hisdaughter, 'Miss Kittle Reed, CongressmanAldrich and Mrs. Aldrich of Illinois, arriv-ed here tonight at 10:10 on the train fromPortland. The party* will spend the nighthere, going to Seattle at 10:30 in the morn-ing.

Mr. Reed's special car. Coronet, in whichthe party travels, is decorated on the in-terior with flags and roses. In the cozylittle saloon Mr. Reed received Congress-man Doollttle, Editor Snowden, of theLedger, Frank Vaughan and the Post-In-ttlliger.cer correspondent tonight. Verylittle was talked of in a political way.except the results of the election. Felici-tations were exchanged on the .esult in

Oregon and California. Said Mr. Reed:"I am only sorry Washington did not go

for McKinley. 1 have always had a great

retard for the Pacific coast states, andwhile the campaign was in progress Iurged that efforts be made to save asmany of them as possible for the Repub-lican party. The victory shoull not be asectional one. and for that rfason our suc-cess in Oregon and California, two of the

states, is especially gratifying."This was practically all of the discus-

sion of matters political. Mr. Reed saidhe desired very much to see Mount Rainierand hoped the weather tomorrow Votiltlhe clear enough to get a good view of theCascades.

Replying to a question as to the com-plexion of the senate and likfly legisla-tion. Mr. Reed hegged to be excused fromtalking for publication on these matters,not desiring to predict what le? slat ionwould be enacted or what form it wouldtake regarding the flnarieia! question.

COXGRESSM4X ALDRICII.

Congressman J. Frank Aldrich, of Chi-cago. who accompanies and is a warmpersonal friend of Mr. Reed, was bornIn Wisconsin in 1853. He removed'to Chi-cago in I**l, at tending, the public schoolsthere and Chicago university. He grad-uated from the Rensselaer Polytechnicinstitute. Troy. N. Y.. in 1877. with the de-gree of civil engineer. He engaged in themanufacture of linseed oil and subse-quently in the gas business. Mr. Aldrichhas been a member of the Cook county

board of commissioners, and was presi-dent of that body in IS*T7. He has also beena member of the board of education, andwas chairman of the committee of citizensof Chicago appointed from the variousclubs and commercial organizations to in-augurate and further the drainage act.He was a commissioner of public worksin Chicago from 1891 to 1593. He waselected to the Fifty-third and later to theFifty-fourrh congress from the First Illi-nois district. Mr. Aldrich has alwaysbeen a close friend and great admirer ofMr. Reed, and prior to the nominatingconvention at St. I»u'.s in June wasamong the foremost of the Reed leadersand managers. Mr. Aldrich visited Seattlefor a day t*h<e first part of last August,when he was on his way to Alaska.

"The Waifa of Sew York.**

Katie Emmett is responsible for thechief interest in The Waifs of NewYork." which commences an engagement

of two nights at the Seattle theater onnext Friday. It must be called a comedydrama, because, while the play is verymuch like the old-fashioned thing we usedto call it has a good deal n.orecf the 'humorous and less of rhe thrilling.

What Public Spirited CitlaeasCa» Do.

Queen Anne hill is to be made into abeautiful park, which will make it one ofthe most attractive spots in the city. Itis already almost covered with handsomeand picturesque residences, and when theparking system is put in it will add great-

ly to the beauty of an already attractivepart of the city. C. C- Crane, one of theenterprising residents of Queen Anne hill,

in speaking about the proposed improve-

ment of the hill yesterday, saidi"The plan is to park and terrace the

entire hill, and to reach the top of the de-clivity by means of a large winding drive-way. with as small a grade as the actualconfiguraton of the hill will permit. Thisdriveway will have about a 6 per cent,grade and willbe the main artery. Fromthe main boulevard or driveway will belateral roadways leading to varions parts

of the hill. As the visitor goes up the hillhe will meet park after park rilled withgrass plats and rare flowers. shadeand ornamental trees, and such other or*

nate ornamentation as will make the walka series of pleasant prospects."

The residents of the hill have fully en-tered into the spirit of the affair and arefullyprepared to carry out the plan. Thofull details have not yet been arranged,

but they will be by next Tuesday evening,

when they will be unfolded at a receptiongiven by the Queen Anne Club.

The first step in this work was takenyesterday at a special meeting of the citycouncil. George Donworth. C. C. Crane.H. R. Clise and other residents of QueenAnne hill, appeared before the council.They said they purposed constructing awinding driveway on Queen Anne hill,with a grade of about 8 per cent., so thatthe ascent and descent can be made bypedes»l.lans and vehicles with ease. It Isproposed to exchange and purchase theproperty necessary for the driveway.

The grading will cost SIO,OOO. but all thecost will be borne by the property owners.The entire cost to the city will be $250 forthe expense of surveying.

It was purposed to start the new drive-way from the foot of Queen Anne hill onQueen avenue, at Roy street. The road-way will cut across the lower part ofGeorge Kinnear's ground, below his resi-dence, to Olympic avenue; thence along

Olympic avenue to near Kinnear park,then it will swing around and back acrossAnne street; then across Alley street bymeans of a bridge high above that street,reaching the top of the hill on Highlanddrive, near the residence of C. C. Crane.At Alley street a branch will extend eastto the Queen Anne Club house.

It was explained to the council thatGeorge Kinnear owns nearly all the landover which the driveway is to be con-structed. with the exception of some lotsowned by Mr. Crane. They will donatethe necessary land as soon as the metes

and bounds of the roadway have been of-ficially determined. The intention Is tomake this roadway a public thorough-fare, and to transfer the necessary prop-erty to the city by deeds ratified by or-dinances.

After the plan had been fully explainedthe council adopted a resolution directing

the city engineer to make the survey andsecure the necessary land and have theproperty deeded to the city. Then thework of construction of the roadway willbe begun.

BREVITIES.

The mixed bow'iing tournament thatwas to take place at the S. A. C. alleysthis evening has been postponed Indefi-nitely.

Mr. P. Paulson, of 1012 Main street, re-ceived a dispatch yesterday morning ofthe sudden death of his brother at Mos-cow. Idaho. The deceased leave* a wifeand two children.

was an enthusiastic procession-moved up Second avenue last night. The

grand marshal was Harry Hill,who wheel-ed the body ,>f the parade. H. D. Hasemnn,in a wheelbarrow. It was a result ofelection enthusiasm, and as numeroushalts were made between Yesler vv?y andPike street It was made a very pleasantaffair.

A light delivery wagon, drawn by a ponyand belonging to the Pacific market, wasbroken up on the corner of Columbia streetand Western avenue last evening. The run-away started on First avenue south anddashed up the street to Marion, down toWestern avenue and around the block,when the horse, which had broken awayfrom the wagon, stopped in front of them irket. in the Colman building.
