To the first demand the operators reply
that they will not recognize the union as

1t has been good many years since
David Bremen Henderson, now Speaker of
the National House of Representatives.
won reputation as strong man In debate
He would never have become famous
to even the slightest extent in that line
If he had displayed on the floor of the
House no better logic than he has used
in giving his reasons for retirement as a
candidate for congress. His first state
ment on this subject was weak, but his
supplementary remarks are simply ridicu-
lous.
He declares his belief that a majority
of the people of his district are in ac-
cord with him on the tariff question and
yet he will not give them a chance to
vindieate him.
He openly condemns Governor Cum
minis for his advocacy of tariff revision.
but Governor Cummins can have nothing
to do with this question until he ceases to
be state official and becomes a federal
one.
Henderson contends that the tariff
should be let absolutely alone and yet he
applauds every suggestion of the Presi-
dent for tariff revision and trust regula-
ton.
Speaker Henderson seems to be very
much flurried. He has evidently seen
something that impressed him profoundly,
but apparently he does not know what
to make of it.

THE LEAVEN SPREADING.

There has been systematic effort on
the part Of the Republican press TO make
Il appear that the break for tariff revision
in the ranks OF that party is confined
almost entirely 10 Iowa where Governor
Cummins is its leader and where its ag-
gressive strength was undoubtedly the
cause OF Speaker Henderson's retreat
from the field OF active politics.
This attempt 70 belittle the tariff re-
form movement I'm the Republican party
has failed signally.
Evidences that il Is widespread and de-
termined has accumulated so fast and bro
ken out I'm so many quarters that 1t is
now admitted even among the faithful
that the Republican party needs some in
fiuence TO rally It TO its former solidity
on the protection idea.
In Wisconsin and Minnesota the tarin
revision heresy seems to have spread al
most generally among Republicans as in
Iowa
And we find Il cropping out most i'm
pudently I'm staid old Massachusetts,.
which next TO Pennsylvania, has been
regarded as about the most impregna-
bic stronghold OF the protective policy.

eERMANY,s MEAT PROBLEM.

While the people of the United States
are compelled by the trust TO pay eXoro-
liant prices for meat, the people OF Ger
many are subjected to a similar hard
ship BY the operation OF a protective
tariff.
Recent reports OF our consuls In various
parts OF Germany state that there is
great and growing amount OF suffering
in that country on account OF the very
high price of meats.
This sad condition is the result OF a pro-
tective policy which the government has
adopted in compliance with the clamor OF
the agrarian party.
The operation Of this law is shown by
the fact that while 100000 hogs are need
ed from abroad to supply the actual
needs OF the German people only 7o,OOO
are admitted under the exceptional clauses
OF the law.
The German farmer is thus given al
most a clear field. but the prediction that
the stimulus OF protection would soon en-
able them to supply the home market
has by no means been verified. A lead
ing German newspaper says: "All cattle
products have now been high in price for
ten years. but the farmers have not full
filled their promises. and they are still I'M
able TO satisfy the demand"
The present German tariff is having
the effect Of creating and maintaining
an intense class feeling that may work
mischief before long. While the agrarian
element demands the continuance Of the
law which causes the present high price
OF meat, a much greater number Of Ger
man people demands the repeal of this
tax and their wrath at its imposition
grows every day.
There are grave dangers in the situation
which the government is observing not
without apprehension.

there is this plain lesson in the result:
1T is that the people are interested in
tariff reform. In saying this we mean
the Republican people. The Democrats
have long been identified with it, though
sometimes, we are compelled to believe
in a perfunctory way. Thoughtful peo-
pie Independent in politics have been log
ically forced to the conviction that the in
- est OF the few is favored by high pro-
lection at the sacrifice of that of the
many. The Republican party, which has
stood out against any modification Of the
tariff, has been in Bourbon attitude IN
so doing Events have at last been too
strong for il. The experience OF the peo-
pie has overcome the purposes OF its
leaders. A stage has been reached where
the uprising of a Republican to say that
tariff reform is needed meets instant re-
spouse from the rank and file of his par

times seen in the west. The experience

Notwithstanding this, however, the in

THE REAL ISSUES INVOLVED
IN THE GREAT COAL STRIKE

would have to admit:
First, that every workman whose name
is not on the union rolls as a member in
good standing snail be discharged.
Second. that no non-union men shall
hereafter be employed.
Third. that IL a union man shall hereaf-
ter be dismissed for any cause. he shall be
reinstated on demand of the union or it's
representative; and fourth. that the fore
men and superintendents shall be agreea-
BILE to the union.
On the other hand. the mine workers
say this is not a fair statement Of the
case. Their statement is that on February
14th the United Mine Workers sent let
ter to the coal producing companies in
wiling them to confer over the wage scale
for the year beginning April 1, 1902. The
companies declined to discuss the question.
A convention of the men was held and
the following demands were made:
First, an increase OF 20 per cent In
wages to all men performing contract
work.
Second. eight hours to constitute a days
work for all persons employed by the day
or week, without any reduction in their
present wage rate; and
Third GOAL TO be accurately weighed

of bank deposits in the United States is
not only much greater than 1t was year
ago and very much greater than that OF
any other nation is now or ever was.

the United States had on deposit in banks
no less than $500. OOO. 600, an average Of

BAD SPELLING.

Many reports and comments which are
largely circulated are circulated to create
the impression that the average of Amer
lean spelling is improving very slowly, if
at all.
We read often OF examination papers
prepared by students high up In our col
leges and universities which present spec
linens of spelling that would reflect upon
children who were in their second year
at school.
Some years ago the committee that visit
ed West Point TO represent the govern
ment at the final examination at the mil
itary academy expressed in its report its
surprise at finding so much bad English
and incorrect spelling among students
who proved remarkable proficiency in
their highest and most difficult studies.
We observe that of 141 students who
took an entrance examination in spelling
for Northwestern University 50 missed 20
or more words out of list of $50 which
was fairly selected without special search
for the unusual and the difficult.
Professor Clark, of the institution at
which this remarkable showing was made.
said Of it:
LAS long as the word method of SPELL
ing is taught in the public schools, just
so long viii boys and girls enter college
unable TO spell correctly"
This remark probably indicates the
main reason why so many public school
pupils and college students spell badly.
They are not taught to spell scientifically
and in a language as complex and varied
as ours the word method will never
make a reliably accurate speller.
A reform in spelling is one of the most
evident needs OF our schools.
