President McKlnley's reform of. the deformed civil service Is raisins the anticipated yell from those who have made up their mlnd.H not to be pleased with what the administration docs, but this matters very little. The president's action Is approved by com mon sen.o and that is cnoiiKh. The. Old Soldiers. In contrasting tho two generations of Holdlors represented In yesterday's memorial exercises, let It not bo for gotten that while the young soldiers of the war with Spain merit all tho praise which they have received, the debt of tho nation to the "old soldiers" is still unextinguished and Inextin guishable. They made It possible for tho United States to retain and main tain the nmBnlflcpnt vitality in a cause of humanity which brought victory so swiftly In tho iccent passage at arms. Hut for them, thoie would be no majestic republic, supreme atnon? the nations of the western hemisphere and exerting today un influence' in the determination of the world's great nf fulrs Bceund to that of no power on earth. The wisdom of their achievements it conspicuously attested by tho very men of the South whom they opposed Time bus wrought no giander vindi cation of the doctrine of national unity, as cbamploiK'd by the veterans of the Ulue, than Is supplied in its frank ac (cptunue by the lepiesentutlve veter ans of the Cliny under tho impetus of the iil'W patriotism Inspired by the conflict with Spain. We need today cast no letlectiop. upon any section; we need hatk back to no old topics of dissension; but us chroniclers of Im partial history wo must take the ac tions of the South itself as establish ing beyond controversy tho piudenec and the benefits of the extinction of secession. The differences of tho past may have been Inevitable; the heroism and tho fidelity on both sides constitute a common glory; but the present, with Its leunlon of hearts and hopes. Is tho bcal of posterity's approval upon what the "old soldleib" did, and recognition of that fact Is tho Northern veteians' Just due. All honor, then, to the men of whit ened locks and enfeebled tread who marched In yesterday's review and nil honor to their comrades whoso work on earth is done! General Otis has declined at present to substitute Knglish for Spanish as the olllclal language of Manila, and he is wise. The Kngllah language can take caic of itself. The Cnnvass for the Speakership. The house of representatives of the Fifty-sixth congress will contain 185 Republican members, distributed as follows: California B New York 10 Connecticut 4 North Caiollna... '1 Delaware 1 North D.iUutu ... 1 Illinois n Ohio 13 liiJI.ina 0 Oregon 3 Iowa ll'ronnsylvanla .... 20 Kansas 7lthode Island .... 2 Kentucky 'J South Dakota ... L Mnlno 4 Tennessee 2 Maryland 4 Texas 1 Massachusetts m lUiVrrmont 2 Michigan Minnesota Missouri Nebraska New Hampshire.. New Jersey 12. Washington 2 West Virginia ... 3 Wisconsin 10 Wyoming 1 Total .lbo To secure the Indotsement of tho H publican caucus the winning candidate for the speakership must poll 9.1 votes. Thus far only three state delegations have decided to go as units for the can didates of their choice. Representa tive Hopkins is sure of the II votes fiom Illinois and Ilenrosntatlvo Hen derson has Inuu and Wisconsin, 11 plus 10, or 21 in all. Tho friends of Hopkins claim 6 of the 7 votes from Kansas, a claim which, if Itue, would put Hop kins and Henderson neck and neck, with the latter one vole ahead. Should Itppresentatve Sherman Fiicceed in solidifying in his behalf the votes of New York. New Kngland and New Jer sey his strength would reach a total of 41, or with the addition of the one vote from Kansas alrpady announced as his, 43, 4S less than a majority. Pennsyl vania, Ohio and Michigan could, with one scattcrlns vote, supply this void; and while there Is some talk of op position to shei man in New Yoik and Massachusetts, tho chance that the thieutened defection will become seii ous Is generally considered remote. On the other hand, a concentration of the votes of tho group of states known as tho Middle West upon one man, either Henderson or Hopkins, would result in an ensy victory for that man, there being In the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Min nesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Michigan and Mis souri exactly 03 votes, the number re quited to elect. The man who comes within 15 to 20 of this figure will, by tho very momentum of his candidacy, be likely to win out, thiough the gravi tation to his standard of members anxious to land in tho victorious camp. Should the Pennsylvania delegation decide to vote as a unit, Its 20 votes would obviously bo Influential. Whether It could command tho speakership for one of its own members is as yet un certain, although stranger things have happened; but It cettalnly could In any event by unanimity hold tho key to the situation. Professor Qoldwln Smith fears lest American expansion In other directions should leave the annexation of Canada In the lurch. That rests almost en tirely with the people of Canada them selves. At a dinner given on Monday by tho Union league of Philadelphia to near Admiral Sampson ft letter from Cap tain Itobley D, Evans, late commander of tho Texas, was read. In this let ter, speaking of Sampson, Evans said. "You, of course, know my feelings toward Sampson. Everygno who fought under him, except one, has tho same. Wc honor him; wo respect him; we lovo him." Tho exception Is Ad miral Schley. Still, to uso tho falr soundlng words of Schley, "there Is honor enough for nil," It turns out, as we thought at tho time, that Oenornl Iiwton never said 100,000 American troops would be re quired In tho Philippines, The man who said Lawton said this was a yel low reporter and ho has already been disciplined. Rightly Directed University Work. With Its accustomed enterprise tho University of Pennsylvania announces a course In commerce, diplomacy and International law, tho object of which Is to nsslst young men In preparing for n diplomatic career. That recent events In our national history have made probable larger future openings fur trained diplomatic and administra tis talent Is generally believed, and the University of Pennsylvania simply adapts Its curriculum to this foreseen demand. The course will extend over two years. Touching American diplomacy and foreign relations, It will treat of the chief phases of our International relations from the beginning of the Revolution to tho present time, includ ing among Its topics our first commit tee on foreign relations; embassies nnd agencies In Europe; tho French Alli ance; the Treaty of Paris; Jay's treaty; netitinl trade and the right of search; Influence of tho French revolution and the Napoleonic wars upon our nffalrs; boundaty disputes; the Louisiana pur chase and successive annexations of territory; the Monroe doctrine; rela tions with South American republics; canal diplomacy; the slave trade; com plications during the Civil war; Mexi can intervention; fisheries nnd Bering sea; international arbitration; com mercial treaties and reciprocity; rela tions with tho West Indies and rela tions with the East. There will bo equally detailed study of the recent diplomatic history of Europe; Instruc tion In International law; a study of American and European commerce and commercial relations with especinl ef fort to get at tho underlying princi ples; lectures on American and Euro pean constitutional law, modern legis lative problems and the history of law and legal concepts; Instruction with reference to colonies and colonial gov ernment, lectures covering correlated phases of economics, finance and bank ing and sociology, and last but not least, practical exercises In English composition, to aid the pupil in putting his thoughts accurately and easily on paper. In the circular of information outlin ing this Interesting departure in uni versity work, we are correctly told that "the expansion of American trade and commcice, with tho coincident exten sion of political obligations to new quarters of the globe, Is deeply affect ing the commercial and political life of the country. To meet successfully the manifold problems which confront the government In our now possessions there Is needed a trained corps of ex perts, possessing an Intimate acquaint ance with those branches of political nnd economic science which relate spe cifically to the class of questions to bo dealt with. Tho eager search by American manufacturers for new mar kets In Europe and the far East is but one indication of the opportunities of fered to those who have been thor oughly prepured to undertake the con duct of commercial negotiations in for eign countries. The course In com merce and diplomacy has been ar ranged with a view to offer such train ing. Students who have completed tho two years' course will be qualified to assume the responsibilities of commer cial representatives or consular agents. "In adjusting the work of the two years, the aim has been to combine with tho technical preparation a gen eral training in politics, law and econo mics. Thus the course on American commercial relations gives the student a knowledge of the policy of the Fed eral government, and of the forces which determine such policy; while the work In the economic resources of Eu rope and the United States furnishes the material without which a thorough understanding of the conditions of our commercial development Is Impossible. In much the same way, tho general course In American diplomacy and for eign relatione is intended to serve as ft ground work for the study of interna tional law, particularly as its princi ples have been modified by the atti tude of our government in Internation al negotiations. From a practical point of view, these courses supplement one another Intimately. The consul In foreign parts deals primarily with questions of commerce; while In all countries where the system of consular Jurisdiction prevails, a knowledge of In ternational law, treaty rights and kin dred matters is of the utmost import ance to the merchant. "Tho emphasis laid upon practical work is designed to prcpaio tho stu dent for immediate entry into the gov ernmental or commercial service, Tho Commercial Museums, which ate soon tu bo removed to tho immediate vicin ity of the university, will enable stu dents to supplement tho moro formal Instruction by means of a first-hand acquaintance with the products and resources of every quarter of the globe. Reports on the trad und commerce of different portions of Asia and South America will be required In order to famlllarizo the student with the tech nique of one Important branch of con sular duties the preparation of offi cial documents. While the course In commerce and diplomacy Is Intended primarily for those who contemplato public or business career.-, the training offered will bo of great value to tho citizen. It Is quite certain that ques tions of foreign policy will occupy nn Increasingly Important place in Ameri can political life, which means that un der our system of lepubllcan govern ment every citizen must pass Judgment upon the policy of the country. The training of collego men to correct hab its of investigation und reasoning Is therefore of the utmost Importance to our future welfare." Tho contrast presented between the attitude of this practical and progres sive Pennsylvania institution of higher instruction and thai of the older uni versities which arc expending much of their energy Just at present in captious and futile criticism of tho national government la certainly refreshing. It should further endear "Old Penn" to all who appreciate wisdom in conjunc tion with common senFo. No doubt Governor General llrookc may be deficient In some things, but tho Cuban politicians had better real ize that back of Urooko stands Uncle Sam, un Individual who is not easily balked. i It Is early yet to determine the suc cess of the peace congress; but it 13 something In civilization's behalf that there should bo so many good Inten tions. - As a Memorial day after-thought It mtiBt be remembered that Grovor Clevelnnd still holds the champion belt for large catches of bass. In arranging tho army pay rolls the Cuban ofllcers have evidently displayed something like the astuteness of a Tammany ward boss. It Is now In order to consider plans for an old-fashioned Fourth of July. Scranton's asphalt cannot be repaired with delays. TOLD BY THE STARS.

LTHOUGH representatives of tho lj press arc not permitted to attend A tho conference at Tho Hague, a Hi good deal of Information is forth Uu coming with regard to tho purport of the proceedings, it is generally ac knowledged that the Czar's primary pur poso has no chanco of fulfilment, but that, nevertheless, tho conference will not havo been called entirely In vain. Not only will no serious attempt be made to bring about a reduction of arma ments, but there Is no prospect of un agreement on tho part of tho great pow ers not to Increase their existing mili tary and naval forces. Our own govern ment would certainly refuse to re nounce Its intention of expanding our navy to proportions commensurato with our commercial capabilities and our na tional Importance. Surely foredoomed to failure, also, Is tho proposal that tho powers represented at Tho Hague shall pledge themsehes not to adopt any fur ther improvements In rifles, cannon nnd other apparatus of war. Such a stipula tion would be obviously unjust to na tions thot aro distinguished for Inventive talent and are thereby enabled, in somo degree, to counterbalance the numerical inferiority of their standing armies. :o: It seems, too, lmprobablo that our plan, oilgimilly put forward at tho Congress of Paris in ISM, and now resubmitted, our plan, namely, for tho exemption from capturo at sea of an enemy's pilvato property not contraband of war, will bo accepted at this conference. Eng land, which opposed the project forty three years ngo, still views it with dis approval, and it is reported that Franco and Italy aro also arrayed against it. The promise to abstain from privateer ing, however, is certain to be renewed by those powers that formerly subscribed to It, und It Is possible that the repre sentatives of the United States may now tako a similar position. It will be re membered that our government refrained from Issuing letters of marque during the recent war with Spain. Wo observe, finally, beforo turning to what Is ex pected to constitute the chief work of tho conference, that the delegates are ltkly to concur In establishing a fixed In ternational rulo for tho treutment and exchange of prisoners of war, :o: Those who havo hoped that tho confer ence would justify Its name, and prac tieally promote the maintenance of peace by encouraging recourse to arbitration, seem likely to be gratillcd In part. Both England nnd Russia have submitted pro posals for the creation of a permanent board of aibitratlon, end a third project is to bo propounded by the United States. The details of none of theso plans are yet known, if they have been formulated, but the principle common to them all is the establishment of a permanent inter national board of arbitrators which will sit, doubtless. In a country the neutrality of which is cither guaranteed or gen erally respected, that is to say, in Switz erland or Ilelglum, Tho question whether, In nil cases, recourse to this tribunal shall bo voluntary or compulsory is cer tain to provoke prolonged discussion. H Is reported that Russia would make ar bitration obligatory in Judicial disputes and In controversies relating to pecuniary claims, and also as to the interpretation of clauses in treaties, where these do not involve a nation's honer or territorial In tegrity. It would be, of course, easy to adduce Instances In which two governments might leasonably differ as to whether national honor or territorial integrity was Involved In the Interpretation of a treaty. Where such a difference oc- cured a nation would be recognized as tho sole judge of Us own honor, and no arbitration would take place. There are a multitude of questions, however, like most of those which wore recently dis cussed at Washington by the Joint High Commission, ns tu which nobody would set up the plea that a nation's honor or territorial Integrity was, in any way, affected. If England and the United States wero now bound to icfer such questions to a permanent board of arbi trators, somo of our contioversles with Canada could be speedily adjusted. The Rubinisrlon to arbitration, on tho other hand, of a dispute like that about the Aluska boundary would be not compul sory, but voluntary. There Is no doubt, however, that, were It once made h rule of international law that a particular class of questions must bo settled by ar bitration, a considerable impetus would be given to the sentiment In tavor of io currlng on utmost all occasions to the same peaceful tribunal. Thus, altlioimli there would still remain conditions under which a resort to war could not possi bly bo averted, the number tf such io srettable contingency would perhaps le minimized, :o: Something has been culred for the can ho of humanity and progress In tho cry fact lhat representatives of tho most civilized' nations on earth have as sembled for tho avowed purpose of dc- vIMng pacific methods of sottlhifc national controversies. Even should they fall, they will huvo recognized with memora ble distil etness tho desirability of suc cess. It wculd bo deplorable, however, should the historian hnvo to record that such a conference, held nt the close of tho nineteenth century, had proved bat rcn of pcMtlvo results. That such a wholly negative outcome of a beneficent de-ilRn will have to bo recorded Is, hap pily, Improbable. Something substantial seems likely to bo done, although It will, doubtless, fall far short of whnt philan thropists would like to sco accomplished. HOW TO CURB TRUSTS. From the Chicago Record, It Is all very well to say In goneril terms, "Wo aro ngalnst trusts," but that, when said, amounts to little. It will be found that tho trusrTroblcm l3 not aa slmplo as it seems. Tho tendency to ward combination and production on a largo scale Is characteristic of the age. Within proper bounds combination and consolidation are bcnetlclul. In somo In stances tho economics effected result both In lower prices and better scrvlco to tho consumer and higher wages nnd shorter hours to tho employe. To prohibit ull combinations, therefore, as a means of suppressing trusts, would be retroces sion, and in not a few cases would provo Injurious to tho people. It must bo re membered that labor unions aro organi zations In tho nature of trusts, yet no political party today would dare to pass a law for the suppression of trusts that did not except theso organizations. Tho legislatures of Arkansas and Texas havo recently pa&scd stringent laws for tho suppression of trusts nnd combinations. One effect; In Arkansas wns to drive all tho Insurance companies out of tho state. Tho Texas law, which Ib moro stringent still, has not gone into operation yet, but It will be surprising If Its enforcement does not give rise to a popular demand for its repeal. It Is practically impossi ble to suppress Injurious trusts by a pro. hlbltory law unless tho law is made to apply to combinations in general, and In prohibiting all combinations the pub lic Is deprlvng Itself of tho benefits of progress. o Trusts owe their power for evil In most cases to privileges conferred by law. It would seem to bo tho sensible thing to do, therefore, Instead of calling for dras tic legislation to prohibit trusts, in which category would be Included combinations of all kinds, beneficial and otherwise, to begin by withdrawing nil special privi leges that tend to promoto trusts. In evitably tho trust question leads Into Iho railroad question, for many Injurious trusts depend for their cxlstcnco upon discriminating rates and facilities. Tho party that wishes to handlo tho trust question Intelligently must put forth a plan for requiring tho railroad and ex press companies to treat all shippers alike. Permit discriminating freight rates to remain, and laws making membership In trusts a criminal offenso would provo of littlo avail. Tho object of tho Btato should be to Insure equal rights to jail and special privileges to none. When that is done no necessity may cxisi ior iorriintlni riirrpilv Kiinnresslnir trusts. As a last resort, the stato has tho cntlra matter In its own hands in Its control j over corporate powers. Corporations aro creatures of law. Instead of allowing corporations to develop into trusts and then seeking to suppress them, there fore, tho state should strike at the root of the matter by refusing to glvo such largo corporate powers. In tho Interest of Investors in corporate stocks, too, tho law-making nuthority that creates cor porations should rcqulro publicity In thu affairs of such concerns. o- A programmo of action ulong these lines to curb tho evil of trusts Is moro difficult to work out than one calling slmplv for the direct suppression of all combina tions, but it promises much more of benefit to tho people.

The organist of one of the principal Methodist churches in Hartford, Conn., says : " I was troubled with gastritis and nervous dyspepsia for two years. I would go to bed at night feeling perfectly well and wake up next morning with a splitting sick headache. I would be si hot at times that my flesh seemed burning up and flasher of light and darkness would come before my eyes. Thcs'. spells continued sometimes for a day and a half and whil' they lasted I was so stupid I hardly knew my own name. I commenced taking Ripans Tabulcs, and before I had used three dozen of them they made me entirely well. I take a Tabule occasionally now just to keep my stomach in order when it shows any slight indication of a disposi tion to rebel."
