About rheumatism.

There are few diseases that inhlct more
torture than rheumatism and there Is
probably no disease tor which such a
varied and useless lot of remedies have
been suggested. To say that it can be

make, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
which enjoys an extensive sale, has met
with great success in the treatment oil
this disea.e. One application of Pain
Balm will relieve the pain, and hundreds

rAFTs ARMY PROMOTION SCHEME.

TAFTS ARMF PROMOTION SCHEME.
The bill prepared by Secretary Taft
for changing the method of promotion
of regular army officers is likely to
be difacult to pass. It's central feature
is authority TO weed out the large num-
Der Of officers who by reason of physical
OF mental incapacity are able, through
the old system of promotion by the
rigid rule of seniority. to block the
way of younger and more capable
officers TO the places to which they are
by merit entitled and in which 1t is
the public interest to have their serv-
ices.
1t is a familiar fact that as the case
stands the most capable officers are
too often held back in the lower
grades till they reach an age at which
some of them become incompetent for
the higher grades. The inevitable eff
feet of such a system is to weaken the
military arm, and it's general tendency
is to paralyze the ambition and effort
of young officers whose career is be-
fore them.
Secretary Taft's bill, which has been
prepared with exceeding care and in
the light OF thorough investigation,
prescribes a system of examinations
which would summarily rid the serv-
ice of large number of officers who,
though they have not reached the
legal age OF retirement. are a detri-
ment both by their mere presence and
by keeping accomplished officers out
of their proper places, and also, opens
a way by which officers of exceptional
abilities and successful devotion to
duty can be promoted in accordance
with their merits without waiting for
the inconvenient and often unjust
operation of the seniority rule.
Such propositions to reform the mil
itary establishment have had to en-
counter obstinate and too frequently
insuperable opposition, and there is no
reason to hope that Secretary Taft's bill
will be an exception to the rule.

SAN FRANCISCOS FIRE SETTLEMENT.
The settlement of San Francisco fire
losses is turning out to be not the sim
pie and easy matter. that was antici-
pated when the public was encouraged
by the announcement on behalf OF
some OF the companies that they would
meet their contracts promptly and in
full. The settlement has not been
prompt, and now the question is
gravely raised whether it will be in
full.
The circumstances are so extraor-
binary that delay might be pardoned.
but il is a grievous disappointment and
hardship that the property owners are
now meuaced with loss of large part
of their insurance. 1t is not surpris-
ing that they rebel when two-thirds of
the companies having risks there go
on record as favoring settlement at %
per cent of the face of the policies
The law affords no practical remedy.
since litigation involves interminable
delay, which in many cases would be
far more injurious than submission to
the proposed cut.
II appears, too, that the. roseate rep
resentation given out after the earth
quake and fire. that with few excep-
tions the companies involved were
solvent, was unwarranted. There is
reason to believe that good many of
them have not sufficient surplus to
meet their obligations in full. On the
other hand. it is TO be said to the credit
of twenty-five or thirty OF the compa-
MES that they propose to pay in full
without regard TO the action of others.
While the situation is unfortunate
for San Francisco. II is really hardly
less serious for the Insurance business
in general, the good faith and prestige
OF which are at stake. II is we'll

DELAWARE DEADLOCK BRokEN.

story of the effort of the notorious j.
Edward. Addicks to break into the up
per house of the national legislature.
1t is the shame Of Delaware that Ad-
dicks should have been able so long to
play the game OF dog in the Manager.
Without single qualification of intel
Delaware for the deliberate purpose of
securing senatorship as he had been
in the habit of securing franchises and
other valuable things from legislative
bodies. 1t would be Incredible n it
were not authentic history that he
should have come so near his aim as
he apparently did. or that in persistent
pursuance of his enterprise he should
have been able to hold vacant one seat
to which the state is entitled for eleven
years, and to deprive the state of rep
resentation in both senatorial seats
during two years of that period
Delaware and the whole country are
to be congratulated on the conclusive
defeat OF such a political freezeout
game, though it would have been bet
ter had II been done sooner.
