pressions of regret and protest. without.
however. modifying it in the slightest
degree--it is not surprising that Repub-
licans throughout the country are al
ready giving consideration to the sue
cession. The speakership is the. most
important position in American public
life next to the presidency. Upon occa-
sions it is the most important one. The
speakership in large degree controls
the house. To be elevated to it is an
honor and a token of confidence to
which no man in congress would be in
sensible.
We observe the suggest ton in num-
ber of newspapers--it is even more than
suggestion. it is an assumption-that
the successor to Colonel Henderson will
be a western man. We are unable to
understand why. If what Colonel Hen
derson says with reference to western
sentiment be true, the election of ii
western man might be interpreted as Il
blow at projections. We do not think
that the Republican party is ready to
abandon or in any way weaken the doc
trine of protection to American industry
and labor. II the selection of a western
man for speaker should lay the party
open to any misunderstanding on this
score then emphatcally a western man
should not be chosen
But regardless of the sectional uues-
tion. why should not the next speaker
be chosen because of his fitness for the
p!ace--because of his long experience,
his familiarity with legislative methods
and government needs. his understand
ing of parliamentary practice and of the
currents and crOsS-currents of public
life" If a standard OF this kind were
to govern, then Pennsylvania could
easily fill the bill in the person of Hon.
John Dalzell. Mr.. Dnlzell is perhaps
the most industrious man in congress
For years he has been recognized as
one of the foremost leaders. He has
risen to this rank through no fictitious
aids, but solely because of his signal
ability, industry and reliability The
spsakersh!p in his hands would involve
TO experiments the house and the coun-
try would both feel Immediately at
ease.
There is another member of the Penn
sylvania delegation who would acquit
himself with distinguished credit in
the speakers chair. We refer to
Hon. Marlin E. Olmsted, who has
upon occasion presided over the
house with exceptional skill. He Is,
1t is true, one of the younger members,
but his growth in usefulness and in the
recognition of his colleagues has been
rapid and steady. He would make a
fine speaker.
The talk of selecting the next
speaker with view to revolutions

open is to be taken with discount

TAX SALE CERTIFICATES.
Questions at Issue Between Real Estat.
Exchange and Commissioners.

Mr.. John E. Mitchell. secretary of the
Washington Real Estate Exchange. has
sent a letter to the District Commits
sioners renewing former request that
tax certificates. when issued, shall give
all the information regarding the status
of the taxes against the property for
which the certificate is issued. showing
the irredeemable as well as the re-
deemable tax sales. The letter is in
reply to one received from the Commits
sioners in which was inclosed report
OF Mr.. II. H. Darneille, Assessor of the
District.
Following is the letter:
AT the last meeting of the board of
governors of the Washington Real Es-
tate Exchange your reply to our com
munication of July 10 was read. and it
was unanimously resolved to present to
you for reconsideration the requests
therein made.
In the Assessors reply to the Com
missioners he asserts that it would be
difficult and take up too much time to
enter the irredeemable tax sales upon
the certificates, and yet, he adds, infor-
nation concerning tax sales which are
beyond redemption can be furnished at
any time
Would not the convenience to the
public be sufficient to warrant the entry
at the time of examination?
Such information was for long pc
riod furnished upon the certificates, and
was only discontinued July 8. 1901.
I'VE do not claim that there is any
law directing the placing of such infor-
nation upon the certificates, but request
the same as valuable aid to the tax
payers. and as matter within your dis
erection.

CURES CONSUMPTION AND ASTHMA

own laboratories under the supervision
OF Prof Koch II is sent to the origi-
nal Koch Lung Cure, at 7S0 llth st. NV,
Washington.
BY the inhalation method as used by
he original Koch Lung Cure this germ
killing remedy is combined with heal
ing oils and breathed directly into ths
tubes of the lungs. and II comes in di-
rect contact with the disease itself. and
thus the poison which causes consump
tion is killed and the healing oils OF the
Inhalation are enabled to heal up the
places.
AT the Berlin University, Prof. Koch
teaches how TO cure consumption to his
students. AT the German government
laboratory, OF which he is chief. he
promuIgates his formulary for curing
consumption.
The Washington times., 1902-08-24

BY the use of the inhalation invention,
which carries the healing oils directly
into all the air tubes. decay of the
lungs is arrested and the sore and dis
eased places are healed, and the oily
medicated vapors are brought directly
IN contact with the affected parts
through the tubes OF the lungs. and re-
suits are secured in consumption, bron-
chitis. catarrh. and asthma which never
were and never could be accomplished
by the old way of taking medicine into
the stomach.
Thousands of people die every month
OF lung disease just because they either
do not know of this treatment, or that
their family doctor prefers to treat
them with stomach medicine, which
passes right by the lungs and which
never did cure a single case.

then come the coiorados, which are about
midway between black and yellow. At
ter the colOrados come the colorado ma
duros, which are a dark brown, and
then the maduros. which are well-nigh
black. Formerly another color was in
vogue. This was the oscuro, and 1t was
a shiny black. But of late the fashion
has been for light cigars. and the word
oscuro has almost dropped out of use.
Fashions Change Like Clothing.
Fashions in cigars change just as do
fashions in hats or clothes Twenty
years ago manufacturers spent large
sums upon various devices for sweat
ing" wrappers, so as to make them coal
black. because the black cigar was tifen
king. Five years, ago there was an
equally strenuous demand for light
wrappers, and manufacturers were at
their wits end. Scores of schemes for
bleaching tobacco were tried. but be-
fore an efficient one was discovered
there was reaction. and at present the
greatest demand is for cigars of a
sensible medium color. Five years ago
also. spotted or speckled cigars were
in fashion.
1t is the fond belief of the majority
of people that cigar of light color Is
milder than a dark ore. but this, ex-
cept in rare cases. is not necessarily
true. The Sumatra wrapper on the
average smoke" weighs but a few
grains. 1t forms, in truth, less than /
per cent of the entire cigar. and in con
sequence it may be seen that its inlu
ence upon the smoke" must be small.
Nevertheless, the average smoker holds
to his error religiously, and even re-
tailers usually speak of a dark cigar
as strong" one and of light cigar
as mild. KANSAS City Journal.
