The withdrawal of Col. Henderson
from the congressional race will precip-
itate lively contest for the republican
nomination for the speakership of the
next house. Washington adyices in
dictate that there will probably be a
dozen or more active candidates. Chief
among them will be Mr.. Cannon, of nli-
nois; Mr.. Littlefield, of Maine; Mr..
New York; Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio;
Mr.. Hemenway. OF Indiana; MIR. Taw-
ney, of Minnesota, and Mr.. Lands, of
Indiana. 1t is generally thought that
had not Mr.. Moody, of Massachusetts,,
recently left the house for the cabinet,
he would have been the leading candi-
date for speaker.
It, is too early to indicate which of
those mentioned would prove most ac-
ceptable in this difficult and trying po-
sition. 1t is significant that, had Col.
Henderson continued in the field and

OF opposing him for the speakership of
the new house with younger man who
is more decided in supporting the adj
vanced positions taken by some Of the
party leaders, some one more in har-
mony with the administration, but this
talk, 1t Is stated, has never been seri-
ously considered in Washington, tho it
may furnish cue for future. action.
It is believed that the situation Gre
ated will strengthen the presidents po-5
sition before the country on the trust
question, and that Speaker Hender-
sons withdrawal will have no more
effect on the present admin
istration's trust policy than was pro-
duced on President McKinley's expan-
sion policy, which avowedly was the
chief cause Of Speaker Reeds retire
ment from congress.

coAL srRlkE PERSISTENCE.

The anthracite strike in PennsyIva-
MIA seems to be taking on a singular
phase. The coal operators are resum-
ing mining steadily, SO that the amount
produced is large enough to figure ma
terially in the eastern markets. While
a number of other collieries have been
opened this week. AT the same time,
the union strikers at a midweek meet
ing laid plans for continuing the strike.
for an indefinite period. More money is
to be raised to support these men and
a campaign is planned that will, the
officers OF the sunion believe, keep the
men firm and end in victory. President
Gompers, Of the American Federation
Of Labor, has been on the ground and
with other officials has been making
estimates of the number of men who
had returned to work, the progress be-
ling made by the operators, the amount
Of coal they were turning out. the
| number az strikers work had been pros
yided for, the number dependent on the
union. the amount of the strike fund
raised. the manner Of its collection and
distribution and the possibilities of the
future. It was arranged to call for
more funds and voluntary contribu-
lions.
With fixed determination on both
sides, with the operators resolute In
their purpose to resume mining IN
greater degree, and the persistent
/ avowal Of the strikersh that they will
resist further resumption Of mining
with all means that unfonism has at
their disposal" situation is created
| that may result in a clash If the strik-
ers attempt unlawful methods. II they
keep within lawful and peaceful bounds
1t looks as if the operators would soon
be able to get along without them. It
is stated as matter of fact OF the
'Fminers who have gone, to work at least
80 per cent Of them went on strike and
held out until they were convinced that
there was not q chance left of winning.
The country is watchingS this conten-
ton with the greatest solicitude and in
terest, and since all persuasive methods
have been exhausted in futile effort
to bring these interests into harmoni-
GUS action, all that can be done is to
see that both sides keep within lawful
bounds until the end is reached.

Use of Nuts as Food.

New York Tribune.
The more extensive use of nuts as
food is advocated with zeal by the
earnest opponents of the eating oflarge
quantities of meat, and the raisers of
"goobers" and pecans in our southern
states are looking forward hopefully
to an increased demand for their crops.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
sales of these nuts will steadily in
crease, to the advantage both of pro-
ducers and consumers.

Sympathy for Henderson.

Mr.. Editor: Speaker Henderson's de-
clination comes to ME as personal
sorrow as well as a political regret. 1
think he has made. the mistake of his
life, that he has heard complaints of
some who have been so ungenerous as
to be unjust, and they have seemed to
him as vastly more numerous than
they are. NY personal feeling impels
me to say ugly things of some anti
Hendersonite republicans, but political
considerations forbid. They made the

CHICAGO Turns Out Moro Than a Mil
lion Pounds a Day of It.

IChiCagO RecOrQ-heFdlu.J
The centenary Of the discovery of
glucose, which occurred last Sunday,
has received considerable attention IN
Chicago, which is the headquarters OF
the industry that turns out this pro-
duct.
One hundred years ago 1t was dis
covered that starch might be treated
with acid SO as to yield a certain kind
of sugar.
More than SO years passed before
any practical use was made of this
knowledge, and it was only little more
than 90 years ago that the, manufac-
ture and use of glucose on large scale
began.
About that time people began to
complain that their sugar and syrup
were adulterated with glucose, not
that they could detect it Tor them
selves, but because they had been In
formed that glucose had come into
large use as an adulterant.
So rapid has been the growth OF
the advance of glucose that we are In
Uniformed that it is now adulterated
with cane syrup. Glucose is only three
jfifths as sweet as cane sugar, but 1T
lis recognized as a harmless adulter-
ant and it's popularity is increasing
steadily.
| one factory in Chicago turns out
more than 100000 pounds of glucose
a day. This adulterant goes into a
great number of articles, and yet very
1 few persons have even seen 1T. Glu-
cose is colorless, transparent sub
4 stance, and in ordinary temperatures
lis so thick that it will scarcely run.
It is estimated that three-fourths
| of all the table syrups consumed IN
the world today have at least Is per
cent of glucose.
The glucose industry has become
very profitable. Many thousands of
persons are employed in 1t and their
number is increasing steadily.-Chi-
cago Record-Herald.

WASTED OPPORTUNITIES.

The students of the University of California have smashed railroad train, those of Harvard have held up surface transit for a period, and the sons of Yale have engaged the local police. Over the latter, it is said, they won a notable victory at the slight cost of. three prisoners and trifing casualties. This certainly shows that high spirit is not on the decline at our historic universities. We regret to notice the absence of similar exploits in our local and neighboring universi- ties What are the students of this city doing to waste their time duck ing freshmen in the fountains when the police force certainly calls aloud for the root and branch methods that have been so successfully employed at New Haven? What are President Woodrow Wilson's PrincetonianS about that the ancient upholstery of the Princeton branch cars remains 1n situ. although President Wheeler,s literally educated Californians have sacked the t1naesthetic furnishings of an immaculate express? Faraway fathers and anxious mothers hear of the decadence of youth under the in-
 iuence of the higher education, and surely need, from time to time, such newspaper accounts of high enter prise by college students, to show them that the ancient fiber is still ound.--New York Evening Post.

Protests continue to arrive at the treasury department at Washington. says a correspondent. against the drastic measures which the secretary of the treasury has adopted to relieve the money stringency among the Wall street fspeeulators. The protestants claim, with reason, that the suhstitu- tion of state bonds and miscellaneous securities for United States bonds is menace to the financial integrity of the government and establishes most dangerous precedent, They say that with such securities listed according to the private Judgment of the secre- tary and his advisors, treasury state ments will come to mean nothing and subsequent secretaries are liable to find themselves loaded Up with worth less collateral as heritage from their predecessors. It is more than proba- ble, however, that those who thus pro- test fail to appreciate the magnitude of the pressure which was brought to bear on MT Shaw by the Wall street interests, which even went so far as to spread report to the effect that he intended to resign as a practical threat to compel his acquiescence with their wishes.

It is now predicted that the presi- dent will take more drastic measures to end the coal strike and will possibly call congress in special session. Just what congress will be asked to do, if so called, is not made clear The op- orators, although constituting com bine in violation of the law, are the absolute owners of the coal mines and it is questionable if, under the law, congress can enact legislation which will affect the case. The one weak point in the presidents argument was the fact that Governor Stone had failed to preserve order in the coal districts, for that enabled the opera tors to intimate that the government was in the same position as the strik- CTS. President Baer practically told the president that he had interfered in a matter that was none of his busi- ness and President Olyphant sent a representative instead of coming him. self to the conference, while President Cassatt of the Pennsylvania railroad, ignored Mr Roosevelt's invitation to be present.

PRoFITING BY DISTRESS.

It is not difficult to believe the state ment that the soft coal operators who have recently consolidated under a community of interest agreement are creating a forced shortage by holding back shipments. The strikes having occurred in the soft coal regions are said by dealers not to warrant the presents scarcity of bituminous coal, and the non-arrival of it is said by them to be due to desire on the part of the operators to force the prices up. The retailers are violent in their de nunciation of the sssoft coal ring. 2
 When the thirst for profit possesses men they will go to any lengths for money. It is not surprising, therefore to learn that the soft coal trust is making hay while the anthracite mines are idle. But the people, what of them2 Must they be ground be- tween the miIl-stones and not raise a finger in their own defense?

HELEN KRAMER CARRIES MAIL.

$ ss4
 Miss Helen Kramer, who has ru- ral delivery route six miles from Louisville, is the only woman carrier or that class in Kentucky and one of the few in the United States. She en- tered upon the discharge of her duties about. three weeks ago. Until that time she was in charge of the Shive- ly pOstOmce, which is now abolished. Since the death of her father, five years ago, he has been the only SUD- port of her widowed and invalid mother. About this time she secured the appointment of postmistress of the fourth class office at Shively, which is not a salaried position, but pays ac- cording to the number of stamps can ce1ed at the office. This was not suf- fcient to support herself and mother. so she secured the agency of a number of newspapers. These she distributes every day by means of a horse and cart to her subscribers, all of whom live within a radius of few miles of Shively. The knowledge she has thu acquired not only of the roads and mails but of the people in that section of the country, made her the logical candidate for rural carrier A few days before starting on her route Miss IS1amer completed her car rier uniform, which is of the regula- tion blue-gray color. The postoffice ] department is usually very thorough 1 in providing against every contingency l that may arise i'll the administration of the service. It had not, however, decided upon any particular pattern I of uniform for rural mail carriers of l the QentIer sex So Miss Kramer was forced to provide herself with a pat

Those Kansas City platform adyo- cates that met in New Haven yester- day have courage, at least, even if it is misdirected. With Alexander Troup absent from the meeting and only fourteen persons present it was, so it is said, the sense of the meeting that a third ticket be put in the field. La bor Candidate Charters will make rather a sorry showing on such tick ct. We think our friend Charters made the miEtake of his life in not appearing before the county conVen- ton in Waterbury and re1desting his delegates to make tb/ nomination of Tomlinson unanin1ous.
