SPEAKER HENDERsON's declina-
ton to stand for reelection TO con-
gress on the republican ticket is the
political sensa alton of the day, HIS
published reasons are a difference
of view with his state platform on
the tariff question. Speaker Hen
derson stands for the tariff as it is,
and congressional control of trusts.
His party in Iowa declares for a
revision and reduction of the taritf
to the end that the trusts may be
checked in their rapacity upon the
people. Speaker Henderson thinks
this a concession to the democratic
position of placing trust made arti-
Giles on the free list, and because of
this lack of harmony between him
self and his party declines the nom
ination rendered him. Ex-Governor
Boies is the democratic nominee,
and the defamation of Mr.. Hender-
son almost assures his election.
At the same time it accenuates the
split IN the republican party
throughout the middle west and
gives bright hopes of democratic
house.

TEXAS cotton mill managers in
session at Brennan have taken the
initiative in the matter of child
labor in cotton mills. Their action
can well be emulated by cotton
mills in other states, A committee
composed of H. w. Fairbanks, f.
A. DuBose and d. G. Giddings. Jr.,
reported a resolution and agreement
that no child under II years of age
should be allowed, under any cir
eumstances, to work in the mills,
and no child under ii to labor at
night. Between the ages of II and
IA they may labor in daytime ~
if they can read and write ~ if the
child has a widowed mother or par
ents physically incapacitated to
support it. The LIGHT endorses
the action of the cotton mill mana
gers in this matter, showing as 1t
does the highest humanitarian mo-
tives, and etfectually killing oil
what promised to become a politi-
cal question in time.

A Mystery Of the Sea.

The greatest mystery of the sea,
which has given rise to innumerable
theories but which the shrewdest
minds have been unable to fathom, re-
suited from a voyage begun in this
port number of years ago, says the
New York Times. The Marie Celeste
put out from Brooklyn, bound for
Mediterranean ports. There was Il
large crew and a full complement of
officers on board, and the captains
wife went along as a passenger. About
a month afterward the Marie Celeste,
with all sail set, was found abandoned
500 miles east of Gibraltar. All the
boats We're at the davits, the life boats
We're all in place; there We're no evil
dences of fight or struggle, and the
vessel being sound and in good condi-
ton, there was no apparent reason why
the crew should have abandoned her,
and nothing to show how they got
away.
The Marie Celeste was taken to Glib
raltar and put in charge of the Ameri-
can Consul there, and it was hoped
or some members of it would turn up
to shed light upon this strange mys-
terry. But months passed, and no word
was heard from them. From that day
to this not the slightest evidence has
ever been found to show exactly what
happened. The whole crew has van
ished. A prolonged investigation was
made before the ship was finally sold,
without discovering anything to clear
up the mystery.

pushed. There are being uncovered fig
ures in connection with the service, by
those who wish TO show how much IL
has cost. which viii leave the impress
sion that there has been too great lax
ity In management. In their zeal to
show that the cost Of the service Is so
great that private corporations could
handle the business and make money
Gu; of IL for less than the government
has done the work, the officials of the
war office promise to run into criti-
cism which will be all the harder for
them to bear.
That there will be hard fight
against the cutting off of the service is
az certain as that there will be other
cities than San Francisco which will be
in the bidding for the concession. Seat
tie and Portland must be reckoned with
in any discussion of the future of Pa
ciflc Coast shipping. Already there are
rumors that the northern cities have
the capital and the push to get into the
field for this trade and If the present
service is retired it is almost an even
chance that the service will leave San
Francisco through hook or crook with
IN year. When Hill and Lamont get
after something that they want they
usually get it, and there promises to be
no change in this instance.
Another thing which must not be
lost to sight in this matter, is the fact
that many of the vessels purchased b.
the government for its transport serv-
ice were under foreign flags when they
were brought in, and they have not yet
been given American register. Until
this is done the ships could not engage
IN coasting trade, and in the matter OF
a sale their price would be at least q
per cent below what it would be If they
had the papers from this country
Even the power of Secretary Root
would not be sufficient to have passed
bills granting such papers to these for
eign built ships. Congress is very jca..
Gus of its prerogatives and would be
likely to resent any attempt of the eX-
ecutlve departments to buy outsid,
ships and then give them register
through pressure upon party members
Altogether it would appear that the
service will not be cut off just yet.

TARIFF ON COFFEE.

While there is now being brought
forward in Congress many plans for
the lettering of conditions of the insu-
lar territories of the United States,
there is one point which should not be
lost to sight in the struggle for advan-
tage. That is the benefits which would
accrue from a tariff on coffee,
There is probably no single product
which would attract so many interests
to its support, and which would at the
same time have so good answers to Of
fer to those who would oppose such
enactment. Out of all the advantages
Of such fight, it would be the first
that every insular territory would be
In line to urge the advantage of such
a tariff. Already there is going up
cry from Porto Rico that the com
petition of the South American product
Is running the industry in the little ISL
and, The effect here would be to put
on its feet an industry which would
offer homes to the worthy, employ
ment to the family and profit to hun
dreds where now lands are unproduCt-
i've
But the objection would be urged
when argument was commenced for the
addition of such tax, that 1t was in
opposition to the old-time Republican
doctrine of a free breakfast table
There is much in this on the surface.
but in effect it means little. For in
stance the drinker of coffee never gets
any advantage of decrease in the
price of coffee. There have been many
fluctuations in the price Of raw Rio in
the past, yet the price of the retailed
product has been practically the same
to the consumer. Even another argu-
ment may be made which should have
greater impression upon the working
man, who would see in this tax an at
tempt to make the pressure too heavy
upon his table.
When the California producer asked
that American dried fruits be protected
there was a cry that this would be a
! tax upon the poor mans living. Yet
the effect was to give to every man
in the country cheaper food than ever
before, just as soon as the industry
had been placed on its feet through
the operations OF the tariff law
