[From The Commoner.I

Speaker Henderson Withdrawal
from the congressional lace furnishes
the most sensational feature OF the
campaign. He is the present speaker
of the house of representatives ana was
a candidate for reelection His district
having an overwhelming republican
majority his election seemed assured,
notwithstanding the activity OF the
democrats and the desertion OF some
republi -ans-supposed to be compare
tiyely few. 1t must have required
some powerful cause to have forced a
withdrawal under such circumstances.
What was the cause3 In his letter he
gives but one, namely. that he finds
many republicans in his district In
favor of putting trust-made articles. on
the free list as remedy for private
Inonopolies, and as he is opposed to
that remedy he declared that ne pre-
ferred to retire to private lie ratner
than strike such blow at the system
OF protection. 1t is only talr 10 as
sumo that the republican detection In
his district is SO serious TO MAKE MIN
believe his election impossible, for on
10 other theory would he be .Justlhed,
even according to his own logic, In
refusing to make the fight. II ne Pc
lieyes, as he evidently does, that the
nations prosperity depends, upon
maintaining high tariff wall then
it was his duty to. fight for its preser-
walton. He could not in such case
consult his own convenience or the
effect of defeat upon his own political
fortunes. A surrender without
fight is rank cowardice except in the
case of overwhelming Odds and even
then 1t is better to die fighting. If, by
SO doing, the cause can be strength
ened elsewhere.
Mr.. Henderson is the leader of his
party In the house of representatives
and he must have known that his
abandonment Of the fight for the
reasons given would weaken the very
cause to which he declared nimseII
devoted. 1t must be remember TOO
that the action was taken without con-
sultation with those who sharewith him

What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called

discovery. For forty years he has been
