The BeaI Tariff Problem.
From the Springfield Republican.

The truth is that the world is entering upon
an era of the greatest commercial development
and competition it has ever seen. The tact is
beginning to work upon the minds OF the great
statesmen of the world that the true grandeur
of ma. ions is not in military supremacy, but in
the arts of peace and the triumphs of COM
merce. To-day there is not power on the face
OF the globe which is governed by statesmen
which is not actively and assiduously spread
ing its commercial opportunities. Great Brit
tain has practically abandoned all foreign poll
cy, but tl.at which is concerned in the suprem-
acy OF commerce. She throws away fortresscs
anu provinces to secure the Suez canal and has
has her ambassadors seeking reciprocity at
Madrid and Mexico. She throws aside imper-
ial sway over her colonies in order that they
may more completely develop their commercial
greatness without hampering restrictions from
her majesty's ministers of parliments. Bis
marck with equal vigilance has his eye upon
every unOccupied harbOrage of the wild conti-
nents where Germans can found colony, and
for the first time in the history of nations as
sembles conference to establish commercial
freedom over one OF the great basins OF Africa.
At such a time no Chinese policy of non-inter-
course, or OF selling all and buying nothing
back, such as Pennsylvania favors, will suffice
for this country. This vast hive of 60,000000
people, with teeming soil and cunning hand,
must have more commercial freedom, or it Will
sutfocate. That is the whole and precise issue,
more freedom or suffocation,-a market to
sell and buy in or constant and distressing glut
from domestic overproducion.

ROBBERY AT JAMAICA
Landlord Mclean of the Jamaica Hnus
RelieYed of $16O-A TreacherOus Friend

Landlord Mclean of the Jamaica House
Relieved of $150-A Treacherous Friend.
Geo w Davis, "silver plating" agent stole
$3.50 from Landlord Mclean of the jamaica
house Sunday night, and is now an inhabisant
of the Newfane Jail. The robbery was a most
daring one and created great sensation in Ja-
maica. Davis came to Jamaica in May and
has made his home at the Jamaica house ever
since, with the exception OF Il few weeks spent
in Dorset During that time he has gained the
confidence of the family, borrowing money
and making himself generally useful about the
house. The keys Of the house were often en-
trusted to him. Monday he had talked of go.
ing away to get money to settle up with, but
before he went he rendered all the assistance in
his power to find the missing money.
Two young men were searched in his pres
ence, and expressing himself as "sorry for
Frank" he left on the morning stage for Man.
chester. Suspicion being finally aroused, Off
GERS Shumway and Sprague followed him and
overtaking the stage near Bondville they pro-
posed to search Davis, who laughingly allowed
it to be done. Just as they were about to let
him go the rustic of crisp bank notes was
heard between the lining and outside of his
coat, when he acknowledged the robbery. re
was taken back to Jamaica, waived eI,amna-
ton and in default of furnishing 200 bail. was
escorted to Newfane Jail - await trial. He
stole $l20 of the money from McLean's pillow
and $50 from .ue bar room safe. Davis had
the ccneek to ask Mclean to go bail for him,
but upon being refused SAID, 81 stole the mon
ey thinking you would never find me out, and
in time come back and pay you all l owe, bor-
rowed money and board bill" Davis hailed
from Orange. Mass, where he bore bad repu-
tation. Davis takes the matter coolly and has
confidence that he will never be punished for
the crime. He claims he had no intention OF
committing the crime up to Sunday at mid
night, but the belief is general that he not only
intended this but to rob Snaw, the bark dealer,
as the key to his room was missing several
days before the robbery.
The matter has caused considerable stir
among the Vermont hotel keepers, who hold
much of his stuff as secarity for his board.

CommIssIoner of Pcnsions.


Mr. Clarke is one Of those government officers
who have risen to the position they occupy from
holding subordinate places in the same depart
ment.
He is son of the late Joseph Clarke, of Brook
field, N Y. He was educated at DE Buyter in
stitute and the Clinton Liberal institute of New
York, after which he studied law. Having,
however, no taste for the practice of his profess
sion he engaged in business, choosing Newport,
Rhode Island, as his place of residence. In 1868
be was member of the Rhode Island legisa-
ture. At the outbreak of the late war he enter
ed the service in the Second Regiment, Rhode
Island Volunteers, and served his Country with
honor and distinction during the war, gradually
advancing by promotion to the rank of lieuten-
ant-colonel. He was honorably discharged
from the service in 1868, on account of severe
wounds received in action.
In February 1867, Mr. Clarke accepted
clerkship in the Pension office, and advancing
through several grades, was IN July 1876, pro-
NOTED to the position of chief clerk of that bur-
eau. He resigned his position in 1879. and took
charge of the reform school of the District OF
Columbia. In the same year congress created
the office of deputy commissioner of pensions
expressly for him, and he accepted it. When
in 1881, congress created the offices of first and
second deputy commissioners of pensions, the
appointment of first deputy was conferred on
Major Clarke.
In November 1880, the president appointed
him "Commissloner to examine and report
upon the construction of a portion of the North
ern Pacific railroad west of the Mississippi riv-
er," the duties of which, he performed in very
manner.

REV MOTHER MARY FRANCIS CLARE.
The Nun of Kenmare.

The honored lady whose benign features are
presented in the accompanying picture, is now
in this country for the purpose OF collecting
means to assist her in the establishment of
training schools for girls in England and Ire
land.
The Rev Mother Mary Francis Glare, whose
name prior to her becoming nun was Miss
Cusack, has been "in religion" twenty-five
years. She is said to be the only woman who
has been granted private audience by Pope.
Leo XIII honored her in this way in reeogni-
ton of her steadfast zeal in religion and her
philanthropic labors among the Irish peasantry
during periods of famine. Her contributions
to Catholic literature inclnde "Llfe or st
Francis" the only one of her books which has
been printed In the United States.
The Convent Of Kenmare, in which the rev.
erend mother labored for twenty years, was
founded by the Abbess O'EIagan, the sister OF
Lord Chancellor O'Hagan. OF late years the
reverend mother came prominently before the
world on the occasion of the apparition az
Knock.
The Nun of Kenmare is eminent for her phi-
lanthropy During periods of disaster in Ire
land, she spent her days and nights In visiting
the cabins of the peasantry in kenmare ana
giving theif wretched inmates spiritual and
bodily comfort. The convent recently estao-
lished in Nottingham, England. Is under the
special patronage of Cardinal Manning.

Tascality on every side.
The ways and means committee house has
refused to report the moderate and reasonable
bill prepared by Mr. Hewitt for the abatement
of unnecessary and burdei;s Dme tariff taxes.
The evident intention Of the Democratic leaders
is to do nothing.
The southern senators and representatives
have had meeting to discuss the bill to grant
aid for education in the south, and the
matter Is to be pushed. Congressman Willis of
Kentucky and the committee on education wag
instructed to speedily move that the house 20

the senate educational BILL or, Ailing In that to
move on the third Monday OF December to sus-
pend the rules and fix a day for the considera-
tion OF the senate bill. Mr. Willis was also au-
thorized to appoint committee of to secure
the presence Of enough members Of the house
to bring the measure up for consideration and
passage. There Is opposition to the measure
from Missouri and Texas, but the other south
ern states favor it. The question entered into
some of the election contests. The passage OF
the bill is warmly urged by TIE Charleston Is
c. News and Courier.
At the request of Gen Grant, Senator Mitch

But the Lobby Arguments are stronger.
From the Newport Express


Possibly if our legislature had known of the
trouble in the Hooking Valley in Ohio they
might have been more ready to pass the bill
providing for railroad commission. 1t ap-
pears the owners of small mines in that region
are anxious to operate them but the railroad
company refused to give them switch tracks or
furnish cars for the reason that several of their
directors are largely interested in the mines
where the workmen are now on strike. In
one case an injunction was issued compelling
them to furnish cars to mine which already
had a side track but the company beat
the mine owners by refusing to let
their cars run beyond their own road, COM
peing reloading to go to distant points. Per-
maps no extreme case like this is likely to arise
in this state but there are occasions enough
where the check of a board of wisely appointed
railroad commits sioners would be Vast pub.
lie good. The people viii keep this and the
town system OF schools in mind and two years
hence will have legislature which will enact
both measures.
