THE sPEAKERSHIP.
From the Philadelphia Press.

Pennsylvania. year after year. sends a
larger Republican delegation to the house
Of representatives than any other state
in the union. A Pennsylvania Republican
has been the senior member of the house
for almost a generation. The cardinal
principles for which the Republican party
stands finds in this state their staunchest
ana most steadfaSt advocates. The Re-
pu oican national ticket for many years
has obtained its largest state majority in
Pennsylvania. In recognition of these
facts, it would be an act of grace. as
well as an act of justice, for the Rcpub-
licans Of the next house to select their
speaker from the Pennsylvania delega
ton.
There is no lack of men of experience
ana ability in the Pennsylvania Republi-
can delegation. There are several who
have every qualification for the speaker
ship. General Bingham, of this city. the
father of the house. is naturally thought
of in this connection, but 1t is understood
he does not desire to he a candidate.
Congressman Omsteds claims are being
urged by some of his friends. He would
make an excellent speaker, but his COM
para,ively brief service in the house
would operate against him as "A candi
date.
The logical Pennsylvania candidate is
its representative in the house committee
on rules, Hon John DalZell. of Pittsburg.

already proposed his name. Under Mr..

no doubt. want to retain 1t. In the null
tlplicity of candidates, Il is, however, any
mans fight. The Pennsylvania delegation
should present it's candidate. Mr.. Dalzcll
is in a better position than any other
member from this state to command out
side support. The delegation, therefore.
should present him unanimously. 1t is
true, he has not always been In harmony
at all points with the state organization.
but this is year when there is general
disposition to heal past breaches and
unite the party.
Mr.. Dalzell Is and always was staunch
Republican. The principles and measures
of the Republican party have no abler
advocate and exponent on the floor OF the
house than the member from Pittsburg.
Pennsylvania is fortunate in being able
to command his services, and the Penn
sylvania Republican delegation should
make united effort to place him In the
speakers chair.

the month of $146,599. as against de-

earnings and income from all sources
for the two months of the present
fiscal year were $246S a decrease of
$2,957 442 over the corresponding period
OF last year; expenses and taxes were
$685. O51, a decrease of $2,S4S.405 leaving
a deficit of $3l6, 100 as against a deficit

were $524,45,, a decrease of 81 ,6629Si,
showing a deficit for the month OF
$3.50, 144 as against net earnings in Aug

months of the present fiscal year the

as against net earnings for the corre-

The rate of loss shown in the case OF
the Lehgh Valley Coal company would
amount, on the above basis, for the
period of the strike to about $500, 600:
and in the case of the Reading Coal
and Iron company to nearly $4,000 O00
This is exclusive, of course, in each in

and to the loss of markets, the latter

Assuming the power of the federal
government to be so extended, either
by constitutional amendment or state
consent, as to enable 1t to own and
| manage the fuel and railroad industries
of the country, we should then come
plump against the question of dealing
with the labor problem involved. Should
the government try to run the mining
business at a profit? To do so would
mean disputes over wages, and either
strikes or Il rapid disappearance of the
chance to operate profitably. TO run
1t at loss on the other hand, would
be in effect to pension the labor en-
gagged In 1t, at the expense of the tax
paying public-a situation which would

New York writer further shows, if the
federal government must mine the coal
to save the people from failure of the
SUPPLY, it must distribute it also. If
the People must have cheap coal they
must be protected from railroad rates,
which might neutralize all the advant-
age of government sales at or below
cost in the coal regions. This would
lead logically and necessarily to the
naturalization of railroads. But a
large part of the country's fuel supply
consists of bituminous coal. The gov

IL Democratic Campaign Book
issued a few weeks ago by
the Democratic Congressional commit
tee. In their state convention at New
Haven, Sept %, the Connecticut Demo-
Gratis declared: 1.-The Democratic party
believes that reciprocity with Cuba is
demanded by the highest considera-
tions of morality" and."we favor an
immediate and substantial reduction of
the tariff on Cuban imports by recip-
rocity, treaty or otherwise, in order
that the tariff relations between the
United States and Cuba may be made
mutually profitable and that our obl-
cations to assist the young republic to
a permanent place among the sister
hood of nations may be fully recog
nized and promptly met"
This platform of the Connecticut
Democrats is not in perfect harmony
with the Democratic Campaign Book
which declares In practice reciprocity
is worse than protection" and "Recip-
rocity is based upon the same false
llieDllSS as iS I)IOlttliOil, anu ike pro-
lection is a sham and a humbug." The
Campaign Book also says: "As Cuba
is comparatively prosperous. and wages
are about double what they We're
few years ago. there is no excuse for
making donations to Cuba even if the
ordinary people could get them" Again
that book says: RECIPROCITY as pro-
posed with Cuba is of the Hawaiian
kind, and would benefit the owners of
Cuban lands and the sugar and to-
bacco trusts, which are the principal
purchasers of Cuba most important
products
The question will naturally be asked
which represents the Democratic senti-
ment of the country. the Democratic
platform in Connecticut or the Demo
cratic Campaign Book, published by
authority of the Democratic Congress
sional committee?
