The mannerin which thsSpsaker,

The manners in which the,Spsakel
of the House prevents numeronJ
men from talking bills to death, il
being denounced by the Democratic
members and the Democratic p1ess
The Every Evening says; THE
Speaker has autocratic powers in
his dual capacity as presiding officer
OF the House and chairman of the
committee on rules, as he suffers no
restriction as to whom he shall
recognize to have the privileges of
the floor when debate is under way.
He may thus keep the argument in
one channel by denying recognition
to the opponents of a measure. And
the committee on rules also fixes the
time that shall be permitted for de-
bate of any measure. In fact, the
speaker and the committee on rules
are the entire House.
While it may be wise in body 50
large and having SO many men
eager and able to talk, to have a
reasonable restriction of the length
of debate, the existing rules deprive
the House of all pretensions to be-
ing a deliberating body. 1t is a
body ruled absolutely by the Speaker
and the committee on rules
The body being Republican one
is what calls forth all this hot air.
Ii the tables were turned and the
Democrats We're III control i'll the
House of Representatives. the Every
Evening would not have Il word to
say in condemnation of the manner
in which the House rules We're APP
piled especially towards the Repub-
lican members. Take a retrospec-
ton and look over the files of this
paper and see what it ever had to
say about the manner in which the
Democratic Legislature was enated
III Delaware for years past.
TO-DAY the conciliation commit
tee Of the National Civic Federation
will meet in the Mission building in
New York. tt settle the threatening
strike Of l4o,0 coal Qliners in the
Pennsylvania anthracite region.
John Mitchell. president Of the Uni
ted States Mine Workers. and Sena-
tor Hanna viii take take part in the
settlement. The settlement of the
miners grievances by arbitration
is welcome sign in the labor world
and ii pays much better than
strikes. The big corporations have
as much at stake as the miners and
they cannot afford to have a strike
ON their hands.

THE Sugar Trust will be probed
this time if all calculations do not
fail. Senator Teller yesterday of
fered a resolution in the U. s. Sen
ate to investigate the interest of the
Sugar Trust in the Cuban sugar stu
RtiOn. A subcommittee has been
appointed consisting of Senators
Platt, Burnham and Teller to make
inquiry and they have been given
authority to send for persons and
papers and to make the investigation
us thorough as possible. Prominent
merchants engaged III the Cuban
sugar trade and some of the princi-
pal Cuban sugar producers will be
sent for to testify before the com
mittee The Sugar Trust is having
n much harder time of it than the
Beef Trust. especially at present,
The Beef Trust needs looking into
and a remedy applied that would
result in this gigantic octopus giving
the people a chance to parchase
their supply of meat at reasonable
prices. There is no reason for the
present ruling prices asked for beef
Or pork. The Beef Trust has the
people by the throat and means to
squeeze the last penny out Of them
for their enrichment. The demand
for beef has fallen off over a third
since the advance III prices.
Now woman letter writer figures

llered Mrs. Collins and got her $50.
That the murderer is living i'll Tuck
erton. n. j.. at the present time.
The State detectives still cling to
the belief that Collins killed his wife.
Sheriff Hart thinks he has Mrs.
Collins murderer arrested and now
locked up in a cell in the George
town Jail. He says the manner in
which her throat was cut and beaten
shows the work of a crazy man.
Elmer Collins has been taken
away from the scene Of the murder
by his relatives to keep him from
being interviewed by the deter-
tives. Every known clue has been
run down by the detectives en-
ployed by Collins relatives and as
much interest is taken III the cap
ture of the assassin aS on the day
the crime became known. Why SO
many colorea men have been Su,-
picioned is mystery without amy
other evidence than purely rl1rum-
stantial evidence, which is all the
detectives have to work ON.
