Speaker Henderson's Latest.

Speaker Henderson gave the country the
first surprise in the campaign, and now he
gives 1t the last. His withdrawal as a can
didate for reelection was, all things con-
sdered. no more startling than Is his earn
est solicitude now for the success of the
policy he then in effect repudiated.
General Henderson declined reelection
because the platform on which he had been
nominated did not suit him. 1t antag onized
as he thought, the policy of protection, and
as he had all his life been a protectionist
he could not accept a commission which
would commit him to the other side. He
had, it is true, stood on the same platform
last year, and all the other republican lead
ers in the state were standing on it again
this year; but somehow he could not bring
himself to stand on 1t again. and he
made way for another man. The man Sc
lected to make the race in his place proved
to be personal and political friend of the
Speaker, and he accepted without qualiica-
ton what General Henderson had declined.
General Henderson has hurried home
now to cast his vote for the republican
nominee, and supplements that exhibition
of loyalty by an appeal to all of his friends
to go to the polls and make success over
whelming. That is to say, he wants the
people OF the district TO approve Dy tneU
ballots the platform he rejected, and to
send man TO Congress to do what he could
not have gotten his own consent to do.
Judge Birdsalrs election will mean an in
dorsement of the Iowa idea as to the
tariff, and Judge Birdsal as a member of
Congress will be expected to vote in con-
formity with the meaning of his commits
sion.
1t has probably dawned upon General
Henderson, as 1t must have dawned upon
many others sooner or later, that the Iowa
idea is no assault on the policy of protec-
ton, and will not injure protection If car
ried to the last logical Interpretation and
execution. Tariff revision is a matter of
necessity, so recognized even by many Of
the men who are listed among the advo-
Gates Of do-nothing course. There was no
greater need five years ago for the drafting
of the Dingley law than there is at present
for its amendment. Amending a law does
not condemn the principle upon which 1t
was originally drawn. 1t adds to the laws
efficiency. 1t merely takes account Of new
conditions created or revealed by the law,
and strengthens the whole situation in
tended to be controlled by the law. Duties
for protection where protection Is in the
American interest are as popular today as
ever they were.

pie, and in this matter have had their sight
sharpened by self-interest. They have fol-
lowed our recent progress with curiosity,
and even some alarm. II does not strike
them as the fruit either OF luck or accident.
and as they trace in it order and method
and conquering intelligence they are anx-
ious for details. And Mr.. Mosely and his
commissioners are on the hunt of them.
England is still in the lead as a manufac-
turing nation. but her supremacy is clearly
threatened.
Mr. Mosely, in interview, speaks of the
United States in the old form. He should
not say the United States are making pro-
gress. but that the United States is making
progress. He Is visiting a nation, and In
that fact is contained much of which he
seeks the explanation. We are going ahead
now as one people, firmly convinced that In
union not only is strength but our saliva
ton The forty-five states are not loosely
held together by rope of sand. but by the
iron of patriotism that has been tempered,
in the fiercest fire. But this and many.
other things will soon be impressed upon
him as he familiarzes himself at first hand
with our institutions and achievements. and
may his stay in the country be both pleas
ant and proflta Bile. SD

A Boer Opinion.

General Delarey, who has sailed from
England for South Africa, said on the eve
of his departure:
Il cannot understand why Mr.. Chamber
iains mission should be regarded as extra
ordinary or surprising. AS matter of
fact 1t Is the only sensible thing to do and
the necessities of the situation make it i'm
perattYe. The condition of Cape Colony
especially is worse today than during the
war The whole South African problem is
so complicated and difficult that no minis
ter. however able, should attempt to deal
with 1t without seeking personal knowledge
of its principal features"
The situation in South Africa may not be
- bad as described. But, naturally enough
the Beers view it in a discoura ging light
and want the strongest influences in Eng
land brought to bear on 1t in their behalf
Mr. Chamberlain's visit is almost certain to
result in benefit to them. He of all the
English statesmen is the most interested in
a final settlement in South Africa which
shall benefit everybody In the country
white or black, native or foreign-born. The
Beers and many OF his own countrymen
hold him responsible for the war, and his
best reply IN support of his contention that
the war was forced upon England will be
permanent peace and great prosperity
where angry unrest and backwardness so
long prevailed.

The Cup Yachts.

A new yacht for the defense of the Amer
ica's cup Is now assured, and preparations
are already under way for her construction,
along lines which of course are kept a
close secret A syndicate of wealthy men
has been formed to build this new flyer.
which is to be made as nearly perfect as
unlimited money will permit. When she
slides into the water next spring there will
be three crack crafts in line for the cup
races-the new boat, Columbia and Consti-
tuition. Neither of the old boats is to be
regarded as out of the calculations for
Lipton's new challenger is yet to prove her
superiority to Shamrock II. If he cannot
do better than that boat he might as well
grounds for believing that Constitution,
which last year yielded to Columbia the
honor of defending the cup, can be made
speedier even than the latter yacht by alter
atoms in her rigging and a change in the
cut of her sails. AS matters stand, Upton
and the American cup syndicate have equal
chances to beat last seasons craftsman
ship in the production of a speedier boat
No new IDEAS are in view for the hull, and
novelties are conceivable for the rig
The sole question is whether there can be
any material additions to the sail area
which will not be compensated for by the
time allowance which such gain in power
would involve. Aside from this, the details
of workmanship in the construction will
count for practically all that may cast
difference in favor Of these two new COM
petitors.

An English Compliment.

Alfred Mosely. man of note in the En-
glish Industrial world, has arrived In this
country a few days in advance of a COM
mission he has organized for the study of
the industrial development of America. The
on the sea. represent, we are told, ''carpen-
tiers, plasterers, iron founders. boiIermak-
ers. shipbuilders, cotton spinners, tailors,
bookbinders, printers. weavers. electrical
workers and every other trade in the Brit
ish Isles" The investigation Is to be as
thorough as possible, and presumably the
reports when completed will be given TO the
public. 1t is easy to believe that the visit
ors viii be cordially received wherever they
may go, and that pains will be taken that
they may enjoy every facility for the prose-
cution of their labors.
This visit Is a very high compliment to
America, and. strangely enough, the COM
pliment Is paid at time when there is
disposition at home here to depreciate our
selves. You may hear In nearly any quarter
that nearly everything is out of joint; that
our Industrial methods are either immature
and slapdash, or else most dangerously reck-
less; that as an Industrial people we lack
system: that whatever we have accom-
plished has been mostly by main strength
and awkwardness: that as the result of 1t
an we are about to be ground to fine pow
DER between disconnected and aggressive
labor and the powerful and aggressive
trusts.
Evidently the English are of another, and
better, opinion. They are an observing pen

A Corner in Candy.

Now a marked rise in the price of CANDY
is threatened result of cornering op-
erations and the application of the trust
principle to the manufacture of sweets. If
the juvenile taste demanded only plain con-
coctions of boiled sugar there would be no
danger OF either shortening of the guam
tity or an increase in the price But as
long as the pampered young public asks for
fiavors there will be possibility of fiuctua-
tons to discomft the youngsters and per-
haps their parents. For II has been found
possible to corner the supply of peppermint
and spearmint and such essential oils.
which enter largely into the manufacture
of the toothsome commodity. A few men
have gradually concentrated this industry
at Kalamazoo. Michigan, and now they
have grip on the market which is threat
ening to squeeze the candy prices up to
keep company with those of beef and coal
OF course, the adult world Is not itself con-
cerned at present over this situation But
1T will probably have early occasion to la
ment the trust tendencies of the fiavoring
extract manufacturers. It Is hard to per-
snade the candy-hungry boy and girl that
1t Is wrong TO patronize monopolies. They
see no farther than the corner grocery OF
the neighberhood notion stand or the drug
