CURRENT COMMENT.
MIR. WEBB FOR SPEAKER.
(Old York Transcript.

The Portland Press brings forward as
"a candidate for Speaker Of the next Maine
House of Representatives Richard Webb,
ESQ, of Portland, and urges his selection
on the ground that the approaching Leg
islature has to deal with the important
question of taxation and that an equit
able distribution Of its burdens demands
the selection of Speaker of the House
who is identified neither with the great
corporate interests of this State nor with
the Grange, and presents MIR. Webb as
such a man. Mr.. Webb was one of the
cons srv,,tive mem bers of the last House
and commanded the respect of all fac
tons of that body. He is young lawyer
OF the highest standing in his native city,
both for integrity and ability. In any
event his candidacy, by virtue OF his
qualifications If for no other reason, can
not but meet the respect and careful con
sideration of the Representatives OF York
county. Moreover, there are those west
of the Androscoggin who feel that Ken
nebec has, and is to have, all she can rea-
sonaDly ask politically for the next two
years.

Tientsin, which now seems to DO the
storm centre In China, Is in the same
province rs Picking. and Is the next
city In size. 1t probably has several hun
dred thousand inhabitants. By the treaty
of 1858 1t was made one Of the SO called
treaty ports, but was not opened to trade
until 1858. There is u large foreign set
Element in the city. consisting Of three
concessions. Many missionaries and
merchants are gathered here. UndouDt-
etily the attack referred to in~the de-
spatches is on these foreign settlements.
Whether it is being made by the Boxers
or Chinese troops is not certain. Tientsin
Is on the river Pei-ho, at the mouth oil
which the engagement took place between
the allied fleets and the Chinese forts.
One purpose of the taking Of the forts
was no doubt that the allies might SEND
a relieving force to Tientsin to assist the
foreign residents there who were already
threatened Much OF the news from
China is unreliable and the reports OF
general massacre are to be received with
caution. The despatch from MIR.
Brown, one of the missionaries in Tient
sin, received by DIR. Leonard, Secretary
of the Methodist Foreign Missionary So
ciety Is, however, very ominous. 1t IL
certainly natural to interpret 1t as mean-
ing that all the missionaries except those
mentioned as saved, have been killed.
but 1t is by no means absolutely certain
that that is its significance.

Mrs. Fem upon this banquet given by
the Congregational contingent OF the

who were In attendance ct the meeting,
and which, Of course, was interdenomi-

being the only Portland lady delegate.
WIN you please allow me 10 Rssy that nthe
letter written to the annual nesting by
Mrs. Judson Smith, president Of the
Woman's Board. Boston, and read by Mrs.
Houghton OF Brunswick, was gratifying
and very GLADLY received. It was Allied
with helpful thoughts. The remarks
made by Miss j. l.. erie, assistants treas
urer, upon the minor incidental expenses
Of the managers who now meet the en-
penses OF postage and stationery from
their own private resources, rather than
draw from the regular funds OF the So
that each member of the Branch pay the
additional sum OF five cents annually
towards creating permanent fund from
which these expenses may be met.

today, but may have dropped out In the

A correspondent in communication
published elsewhere, furnishes proof that
Mrs. Mary Baker q. Eddy, known to the
Christian Scientists rs Mother" Eddy,
Is in good health. At the same time II
Is admitted that she did refuse to show
herself to the faithful who wanted to see
her, on the ground that to do so would
In some way hamper her work for God
and the cause. OF course we do not pro-
fesss 10 be able to comprehend the mysteri-
Gus ways in which Mrs. Eddy's mind
works, nor should we be guilty OF so
rash an assumption as that any way
could be better than her way. We merely
suggest that IL an ordinary mortal had
been alleged to be in feeble health, and
this allegation was prejudicial to
cause in which he or she was deeply in
terest.d. he or she would have been like
ly to seize upon so favorable an
opportunity as was offered Mrs. Eddy
to disprove the allegation in the mosl
convincing way.

The Democrats can easily Guido in vio-
lent and sounding language the resolu-
ton which the Republicans adopted in
regard to trusts, and no doubt they will
take advantage of their opportunity. Yet
the Republicans have gone as far rs any
party that is likely to have to follow words
with acts can afford to go. Trusts, or at
any rate, some trusts, are an evil, but n
promiscuous onslaught upon them could
easily do more harm than good. The
matter is an exceedingly delicate one to
handle. The number OF methods suggest
ed for the abatement or restriction OF
trusts has been about as great as the
number of men who have given atten-
ton to the subject. OF course the Demo-
Gratis being comparatively free from all
danger of having to follow up their
words with action can storm away mere
ly for the sake of stirring up class preju
dice, and undoubtedly this is just what
they will do to their utmost.

One of the conditions of peace proposed
by the revolutionary element at their
meeting in Manila Is the expulsion Of the
friars, and it was ths condition which
was the most strenuo1sly insisted upon
by the assembly:apparently as the despatch
states that it was "vociferoasly ac-
claimed 1t is the ons condi ton that II
will be far more difficult To accede to
than any other that has been named or is
likely to be. The Paris treaty practically
obliges us to protect the 'friars In the en-
joyment of their property and rights.
Furthermore there is very strong body
of religionists in the United States that
would make very strenuous opposition to
such action as the Filipinos demand
even were it not in conflict with the
treaty. We know what happened
when Governor General Leary expelled
the friars from Guam. The emphasis
which the Filipinos give to this particu-
lar demand is corroborative to a certain
extent of the claim that has frequently
been made by men who have studied the
situation in Luzon-Presldent Schurmann
OF Cornell University among them-that
the rebellion against Spain was really a
~rising against the friars, and one reason
for it's continuance after we too possess
ion was the belief that the friars would
enjoy the same powers and privileges I'M

r.. ,hs Fyy;,or or the Press.

TO the Editor Of the Press:
/ would like to correct through your
paper some statements made in recent
issues in your editorial columns, in re-
gard to Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy.
Attention has twice been called lately,
in the PRESS, TO the rumors that Mrs.
Eddy is an invalid and not able to see
visitors. This statement is entirely with
out foundation.
The writer has met personally, several
people who have within three weeks
called at her home, Pleasant View, and
have seen her walking and talking with
friends.
l have before me two kilograms, as fol-
lows, from Mr.. Calvin A. Frye, Mrs.
Eddy's secretary, who is surely in posi-
ton to know her physical condition.
Concord, N. H., June 81, 1900.
1.-The reports of Mrs. Eddy's illness are
not true. She never was in better
work and as usual drives out every after
noon.
(Signed) CALVIN A. FRYE"
Concord, N. H., June 81, 1900.
"For six consecutive afternoons multi
tudes thronged about Mrs. Eddy's door
and saw her go to her drive. On two OF
these days she personally addressed them.
After granting these privileges she an
nounced her gates would be closed for the
remainder of the season.
"(Signed) &c. A. FRYE"
The impression was given, In the
PRESS editorial, that Mrs. Eddy refused
to see any of the visiting Christian Scien-
fists. This, as will be seen by the above,
is not true. Her letter quoted In the
editorial was authentic, and was read In
the Mother church In Boston, June 10th,
being occasioned evidently by the large
number OF callers, some days as many
as three hundred.
/ trust you will grant this article the
same prominence given to the criti-
cism, as Christian Scientists ask AMI
expect from the newspapers an impartial
presentation of facts.

The Philippine plank of the Republican
platform is undoubtedly much milder
than extreme jingoes desired. That,
however, is not a fault, but virtue. Oul
future policy in those islands will have
to be determined largely by the course OF
events which cannot be anticipated. Cir
cumstances may arise which will make il
evident to the fiercest jingoes that our
best policy is to get out of them. 10
have declared that we intended to hold
the islands forever would have been ex-
ceedingly foolish either from the stand
point of present or future politics. 1t
would have unnecessarily affronted
those Republicans who believe that when
ever the Filipinos have demonstrated a
capacity for self government, they should
be given the same Independence which has
been promised to the Cubans, and should
circumstances arise in the future which
made it evident that 1t was for our own
interests to get out of the islands II
would have put the party to the neces-
sity of going through the disagreeable
performance Of turning right about face.
All that Is necessary for existing emer-
gencies has been said in the platform.
10 have said more might have alienated
many votes whose support may be need
ed to elect the ticket, and it might have
embarrassed the party in the future.

The New York Tribune declares that
Notwithstanding the fact that Addicks
was made a member of the national
committee and his delegation admftted
TO the convention. he is u traitor and a
oorruptionist 1t may be said that the
two great mistakes of the convention
were the election of George b. Cox as
national committee man from Ohio
though of course that was really the work
Of the Ohio straightforward the admis
sion of the Addicks crowd. Very likely
the latter mistake would not have been
committed had the convention not been

story Of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years by
the chains of disease is the worst form Of
slavery. George ID. Williams, OF Man
chester, Mich, tells how such slave
was made free. He says: MY wife has
been so helpless for five years that she
could not turn over In bed alone. After
using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she
is wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work" This supreme remedy
for female diseases quickly cures nervous
ness, sleeplessness, melancholy, headache,
backache, fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine Is Godsend
to weak, sickly, run down people. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only so cents. Sold

Roosevelt's nomination for the vios presl-
d ency renders II necessary for the Repub-
licans TO hunt mp new candidate for
governor Of New York. Doubtless that
work will be carried on under the aus
pieces Of Mr.. Plat, who favored
making Roosevelt vice president
that he might get new man for COVER
nor who would be less independent than
the Rough Rider. b. b. Odell, the
chairman of the Republican State Con-
vention, is the man who is most frequent
~ spoken of in this connection, largely
for the reason, no doubt, that he Is sup
posed to be acceptable 20 Plat. Mr.Platt,
however, seems to be keeping his own
counsel and nothing has yet fallen from
his lips to indicate what particular person
he favors. This year the chances are
that he will be under less constraint than
two years ago. Then he was practically
compelled by circumstances to take
Roosevelt, though he professed to be do
ing 1t voluntarily. This year there Is
not likely TO be any popular uprising for
any particular man and so he can In all
probability make the selection without
much Interference provided he Is disposed
to make one that Is fairly good. 1t IL
the general opinion that the re-
tirement of Roosevelt has depri we'd the
Rep lblicans of the candidate for COVER
nor who could poll the most votes, but
that Is by no means certain. Certain
legislation, the franchise tax measure
especially, which Roosevelt was instru-
mental in putting on the statute book.
undoubtedly had a.ienated a good many
powerful interests In the state, and there
was strong probability that Roosevelt
would have encountered their opposition
If he had been renominated. Considering
the narrow margin by which he was elect
ed two years ago 1t is by no means un-
likely that this oposition might have been
powerful enough to defeat him. -
