THE SPEAKERSHLP CONTEST.

The contest for speakership of the
next House of Delegates seems to
have narrowed down to Mr.. Noble
L. Mitchell of this county and Mr..
Isaac Lobe Straus of Baltimore City.
So far as we can learu the position is
conceded to Mr.. Mitchell by every
one except few of Mr.. Strauss per-
sonal friends in Baltimore City. This
is the only outcome of the matter
when all the circumstances in the
case are taken into consideration.
NJ. Mitchell has been elected to the
S. te Legislature for four terms and
ca, time has served not only his
&C ituents, but the people of the
w i State, with such a degree of
dill. Srnce as to attract general atten-
tic. He has gained public notice by
be ring the title of watch dog of
tn, reasury," and received this mark
OF is. motion on account ofhis action
In opposing every measure which
called for the expenditure of money
that in his Judgment was unneces-
sarv. He has an excellent knowledge
of parliamentary law and possesses
the qualities Of leadership, which
would enable him to hold in control
thu majority of the next house.
We do not wish to detract in the
slightest from the ability of Mr..
Straus. He is one Of the coming
public men of this State and every
where that he has gone the public has
ben quick to appreciate his many
abilities. Hartford county is especial
1y interested in his future welfare and
may sometime before long show that
appreciation in a more substantial
manner.
At the present time the graceful
thing for Mr.. Straus to do, would be
to accept the will of the majority
and take his position on the floor as
one of the Democratic leaders, where
he could do his party vast amount
of good. He should appreciate the
courtesy that has been shown him
as new member, to be considered as
a candidate for Speaker, and now is
the proper time to step aside and
make way for the man that a ma
joritv of his fellow-members desire.

THE SCHLEY CASE,


On Saturday President Roosevelt
took decided action in the Schley con-
troversy. He showed by his de.
terrnined action that he intended to
dispose of the matter as effectually as
possible without delay.
BY the Presidents direction the
Court of Inquiry was disposed of. A
severe and singing censure was given
Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles,
Commander Of the Army and Ellis
torian" Edgar Stanton Maclay was
dismissed from his position as laborer
at 'le New York Navy yard.
Tis is the first time since the
fam us controversy that has en-
b. led the NAVY for three years and

d., ,'Sed of these three subjects in a
whlrlwind fashion. Secretary of
War Root signed the reprimand
given to General Miles, which he
states was done by direction of the
President.
The General was taken to task on
account of an interview which recent
ly appeared in one of the Western
papers, in which the General states
In speaking ofthe Schley controversy,

nlc1t of Admiral Dewey in Tire matter

matter in clear ard concise manner
and believe his conclusions will he
endorsed by the patriotic people of
the United States. have no sympa-
thu with the efforts which have been
made to destroy the honor of an
officer under such circumstances"
Exception was taken to this Ian
guage by the Department on the
grounds that an officer of the Army
especially one holding the high posi-
tioa of a Lieutenant General had no
right to take sides in a controversy
which might cause bad feelings be-
tween the Army and the Navy.

UNCLE SANS GREATEST SECRET.

UNCLE SANS GREATEST SECRET.
If.@ere is any secret which Uncle Sam
jeu' Iusly guards it is the process of
manufacturing the fibre paper upon
which his money notes are printed. He
pays Massachusetts, firm forty-tllree
cents pound for it, and this firm does
its work under the surveillance of Gov
eminent agent. The paper is manufac-
tured of the finest rags, cleaned, boiled
and mashed into pulp. Asitis rolled into
thin sheets silk threads are introduced
into it by a secret process. These are the
Distinguishing marks making imitation
of the paper well-Iigh impossible. The
sheets of paper, already counted twice
and placed in uniform packages at the
paper mill, are stored in Treasury vault
and issued to the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing as wanted. Before leaving
the Treasury they are counted three times
more, and the receiving official at the
Bureau must receipt for them. Then the
DuiuASs alS ulIN iStppSu tllu lIlS Sheets
are counted twenty-eight times by a
corps of women. This is to insure that
each printer gets the recorded number
no more, no less. If one sheet of this
precious paper be lost the entire force of
men and women having access to the
room where the displacement has occur
red are kept in, like so many SCHOOLGIRL
dren, to find it. Each sheet is issued from
the vault for the printing of a definite
amount of money upon it. If the lost
sheet were intended to ultimately repre-
sent four thousand dollars worth of
notes the group of employees to whom
the responsibility Of its displacement has
been traced must make good that amount
if they cannot locate it within reason
able time. The most expensive loss which
has thus occurred was of a blank sheet
issued for the printing of eighty dollars
upon its face.-John Elfreth Watkins, Jr,
in the January Ladies Home Journal.

ment's sensitive regard for the honor
of the officers holding commissions
in the navy than the belated censure
which is now visited upon the
special laborer" historian of the
United States Navy.
Having administered reprimands,
rebukes and censure all round, the
next thing to be done is to squelch
the 76,OO0,0O0 persons, more or less,
who are in hearty agreement with
Admiral Dewey and General Miles.
These people ought not to be allowed
to go at large and criticise the YER
dict of the Court of Inquiry. Such
criticism is subversive of discipline.
1t is undeniable that if the ranking
officer Of the navy and the ranking
officer of the army are not competent
to pass judgment upon military and
Neutrality-suspicious., the untutored masses
have no business airing opinions
which reflect upon the Court of In
quiry and the Navy Department.
Having rnuzzled Miles and ordered
Dewey to be dumb about the battle
of Santiago, the next thingis to close
the mouths of the ignorant and un-
thinking millions who refuse to be
convinced by Admirals Benham and
Ramsay. 1t is a stupendous under
taking to make 100000 people
keep quiet, but possibly the miracle
might be wrought if a "stinging
reprimand" or crushing rebuke''
could be administered. Let the
powers that be command hepeople,
in the words ofthe plantation darby,
to ego way back and sit down" Per-
haps the people, as one man, would
go Immediately into retirement and
brood in silence over the wrong done
to Admiral Schley. Here is chance
for our official "rebukers" and "cen.
surers" to quell the nation with a
choice collection of phrases. Let the

Of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-

One day keeper accident

This suggested the idea that it

then the monkeys have received

that suits the circus men.
