THE sPEAkERsHIP A COVER.
Under Contest for 1t the Trust and
 Tariff Fight Will be Continued.

Washington Letter in Boston Herald.
 Under cover of a contest for the speak ership of the Fifty-eighth congress, the great struggle over the trusts and the tariff that threatens the autonomy of the republican party is now under way. Whether legislation shall be passed curb ing the trusts and providing for publicity of great corporations, and whether an amendment to the constitution centraliz- ing federal power over state corporations shall be started on it's long and difficult career, may depend upon the outcome of the contest now under way between six or seven ambitious republican representa- lives.
 So, too, may the question as to whether the tariff shall be disturbed and modified to meet the demands made by both east and west, depend upon the outcome of this speakership fight. If one of cer- tain class of candidates should win it would undoubtedly be regarded as a tri- umph for the American Protective Tariff league and for the 1et-well-enough-

 There are some who would make it ap- pear that this contest for 'spcager involves nothing else than the ambition of half a dozen men, more or less, to fill Speaker Henderson's shoes. But the contest is broader and deeper than that since it is perfectly well known that 1t will be the policy of the administration to meet the trust question by legislation, to give Cuba reciprocity and possibly also to remedy some of the defects of the present tariff, where the schedules are prohibitive in- stead of protective. No stand pat can didate could afford to favor any of these things.
 President Roosevelt is not taking any part in the fight for speaker. He will tell all candidates that they are equally his friends.
 All of the candidates in turn are declar- ing they are Roosevelt men, and point that will probably have weight as a de- termining factor in the struggle will be: Which of these candidates for speaker will be of the most help to the admnis- tration in putting the party in shape for the great Presidential battle of 1904?

DEnnery's interesting drama, ''The Two Orphans" with Kate Claxton, will be the attraction on Friday. matinee and night. at the Jefferson theatre. It is hard ly necessary to say anything about ''fhe Two orphansf' for the play is so fami- liar to theatre-goers. The play itself is Kate Claxton's characterization of the blind s'Louise".

MACLAY's REVISED HISTORY.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The interminable Sampson-Schley
controversy receives another airing in
Edgar Stanton Maclay's revised edition
of the third volume of his History of
the American Navy" Chapters XIX
and %X1II have been pretty we'll made
over by the author who won so much
| notoriety by reason of his severe stric-
| lures upon Admiral Schley's course be-
| fore and during the battle of Santiago.
| He adds forty pages to his appendix to
| give the official documents relating to
| the case as brought out at the inquiry
| which his book precipitated, contribut-
ing likewise new preface. In his fore
word he takes occasion to remark that
he has been misunderstood and that he
does not question Schley's physical
courage" whereupon he proceeds to
withdraw some previous allegations,
concluding, however, that "as whole
the results of the searching invest lsl-
ton by the court of inquiry have justi-
fled the historical position taken In the
preceding edition Of this volume re-
garding Commodore Schley's conduct
in the Santiago campaign" Mr.. Mac
lay furthermore relieves Admiral Samp-
son of all responsibility when he af-
firms that mo person reading proof
sheets of this work has ever approved
of the writer's criticisms
However, Mr.. Maclay's historical po-
siton" may have been affected by the
inquiry, it is worth noting that in the
new edition there are no references to
Lack of decision and enterprise.

The most humiliating. cowardly and la
mentable report ever penned by an
American naval officer.
These sentences and many more like
them have been stricken out and the
plates have been recast from matter
drawn from the testimony submitted
to the court Of inquiry. The historian
has sought new evidence to prove his
argument, and while the tendency of
the book is not changed in the revision
and he stands his ground firmly. there
is total lack of abusive allusion. In
stead of caitiff and coward Mr.. Maclay
presents the facts" permitting his
readers to draw their own conclusions
He contents himself with remarks such
as these:
1t appears that for two and a half days
after his arrival off Cienfuegos Schley
made no serious attempt of his own voli-
tion to ascertain whether or not Cervera S
squadron was in that port-the vital OBJ
ject of Schley's mission.

miles from Key West to a point about -

Spanish ships in plain sight at the har-
bor's mouth.
When Mr.. Maclay thinks that his
readers may perhaps regard him as a
partisan he appeals to 1.-The unanimous
verdict of the court"

Exhalation from cemeteries is not dan
gerous because the action is slow and
the dilution by atmospheric air large.
Transfer of solutions, however, to wa
ter courses adjacent Is dangerous ac-
cording to the proximity of the river
and the use of it for city or town sup
ply. The popular idea that earth acts
as Il filter and removes all danger is IA
fallacy-filters simply stop the passages
of materials mechanically, such as
straws, fragments of fibre and such.
All materials capable of solution pass
through any filter, as may be readily
shown by easy tests. ANY matter
which will dissolve in water must pos
sess atoms smaller than the ultimate
atoms of the water, hence If water Will
pass the filter the smaller atoms must
also pass. Try to filter salt out OF
water: you may do this to eternity, yet
the salt remains i'm the filtered product.
Try TO remove any substance dissolved
in alcohol, ether or benzine and you
will fail every time. The illustrations
shown by merchants of decoloring coll
ored water are dodges-the color Is me-
chanically mixed with the water. Let
chemical mixture be made and you
can filter for ever yet the color goes
right through with the liquid employed.

A SONG TO BRAVE WOMEN.

They were married in the autumn when
the leaves We're turning gold,
And the mornings bore a menace OF the
winters coming cold:
Side by side they stood and promised
hand In hand, to walk through life
And the parson said. God bless yOu.' as
lie named them man and wife.
They had little wealth TO aid them little
of the world they knew:
But he whispered: "Oh my darling, |
have riches, Il have--you.'
Then they vowed that walking ever side
by side and hand in hand.
They would gain the distant SUBMITS of
their far-off happy land
Side by side they walked together, linser-
ing sometimes for a kiss,
Dreaming of those far-on SUBMITS, of the
futures perfect BLISS
But the battle-stress was on them, and
the foeman bade them yield.
And their onward stepS We're hidden by
the smoke upon the field;
And his heart grew faint within him as
he mnrmured: II must fall,
For the foeman presses ever, and his CO.
horts conquer all"
But the woman, loyal ever, only whis-
pered: You shall win,
You shall snatch the victor's laurel from
the battle-strife and din"
Then again he struggled onward though
his wounds We're gaping wide,
Listening ever for whisper,-"I am bat
tling by your side"
struggling onward, struggling ever
though the msts We're dark about;
Beaten downward by the foeman, lost in
mists of gloom and doubt;
Still he heard that gentle whisper that
his spirit must obey
Till he reached the golden SUBMITS past
the borderand of gray,
Then the world, as wise as ever, said:
Behold conuuering knight"
For II never heard the whisper that had
urged him to the height
Call II fable, fable only; 10. the world Is
full of these.
Men who struggle onward upward, till
the splendid prize they seize:
Men who stumble, stumble often, dazed
or stricken I'm the din,
But to rise and falter forward at the
whisper. You shall win"
And We name them knights and heroes of
the battle and the fray.
Knowing not that there behind each is
the ore who showed the way;
Just some little, loyal woman forcing
back the tears that blur.
You may honor your brave hero; will
sing a song to her

previously practised are inimical to the
community not only adjacent, but to
very considerable distance away be-
cause of the contamination of water
considered above.
Third-The process of decay through
decomposition under ground in the
usual manner of earth burial is hor-
rbly offensive and disgusting to one OF
thoughtful mind, and the idea of sub
jecting our dearly loved ones to this
procedure is beyond description bar
barous. None but those who have seen
it can imagine the dreadful mass or
putridity permeated by snails, moles,
rats and other vermin of the TOMB
which invade the coffin shortly after Its
deposlture. 1t is the. immense eNcep-
tion that ever body dries ND without
this terrible environment under ground
no matter how much care is taken in
the way of embalmins.
Fourth-The love with which we sur
round our family and our close friends
does not cease at death, and we are,
when the last summons comes, anxious
beyond expression, to pay them the best
and loving respect when we lay them
away forever. In comparison with
earth burial I'm all It's disadvantages, as
shown, cremation is most beautiful
observance In its simplicity, the SUI
preme reverence with which the dead
is touched, the entire department show
ing how each and all concerned in the
process from the lowest employe to the
