The Comnaissionership.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 15.--Ed,tor
Critic: While we hear so much recently
about the appointment Of q District Com
missioner from East Washington, is 1t not
pertinent to ask wherein that section has a
greater claim than others which have not
had representative on the board2 Why
has not South Washington an equal claim,
or Mount Pleasant, or Anacostia, or
Benningss II seems to be absurd 10 argue
that any section Of the District should
claim that q resident within its borders
should be recognized by the President In
making HIS appointments, while men emf
nenty more fitted for the position might re-
side in some other section. Take, for ex-
ample this fact; Every President Of the
United States elected to the Office since
1851, except Cleveland, has been from the
West.
Why, then, shouldn't the East rise in
its wrath and demand that President be
placed In the Executive chair from it's Sec
tionY Equally absurd is this demand for
sectional appointments In the District by
the President. What the people of this
District want is men broad-minded enough
to wisely govern every section within its
borders, and who will rise above mere
boundary lines; men, too, who will appor-
tion wisely as well as mathematically the

actiial support rendered In dollars and cents
TO the Districts treasury by each section.
Give us the men best fitted for the place,

whole, and not as asseetion (Which latter
would lead To endless bickerings), and then
we win have Government of which we
may be proud. F. II. L.

THE FOOLS REVENGE.
Creston Clarke Scores Triumph at the
Opera House Last NIGHT.

CrestOn Clarke Scores a Triumph at the
Opera House Last Night.
To those who saw Creston Clarke in
Hamlet and who were present at the
opera house last night genuine
and pleasing surprise was vouchsafed i.
Creston Clarke demonstrated that he is
already great actor in certain roles and
in the light of this second performance
it is apparent that his rendition of Ham
let was not more acceptable, because in
his fear of being written down
as in any way ranter he
has gone to the very opposite extreme
and given us a cOlorless counterpart of
the melancholy Dane, one from which
the soul mas been extracted. AS Bertuc-
clio, the ester, clothed in motley attire,
Mr.. Clarke scored a success last night,
nothing short of triumph. From the
first scene to the last he held the closest
attention of his audience Unlike the
previous evening, people forgot they
were looking at and listening to Creston
Clarke; it was the man swayed by the
passions of love and revenge who was
seen; it was the man Bertuccio
who trod the stage before them.
The actors power of throwing into his
face the passions swaying his soul was
simply marvellous. In his cunning the
fox-like principle was as plainly marked
as could. In his eyes there cleaned the
spirit of hatred while the rest of the
faced evnced servility. In speech and
gesture, in walk and manner he was Ber-
tuccio. The stage has found another
great tragedian, and the theatre-goe
of Fort Worth will watch with interest the
career Of this new star. In Richard ,Iago,
Brutus and other roles of like character
Mr.. Clarke cannot fail to be successful.
The management should if possible in
duce Mr.. Clarke to return to Fort Woreh
and repeat the performance of "A Fool 8
Revenge, - and if so the opera house
should be crowded.
The support was, with one or two ex-
ceptions, excellent. The FIordelisa of
Miss Bateman was very fine, and this
young lady win become a fine actress if
she viii but learn to take shorter steps
while treading the boards. The
Dutchess Francesca of Mrs. Augusta
Foster was excellent.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX. Jan. 29-The
strike Of shopmen and motive-power men
generally in the employ of the san An
tonic and Arkansas road was formally
inaugurated in this city to-day by all the

bTakemen are all N the compact, and if

morrow all traffic of the road Will be

Manager Y0akum are both in New York,
and their subordinateS here refuse TO talk
about the policy TO be persued by the COM
pany under the present circumstances.
At another largely attended meeting of
the companies employees tonight with
closed doors il was decided after a lengthy
debate lasting until y clock TO declare
a general strike at once, so that all traffic
of the road is practically tied up The
engineers declare that they viii run loco

MARSHALL AND THE t. So.

a Petition from the People of Harrison
County to the Twenty-iirst Legislature.
Special to the Gazette.
MARSHALL, Ten. Jan. %. As is well
known by all, for the last eight years
there has been an effort made TO get the
Texas and Pacific railroad 10 recognize
and carry ont in good faith a contract en-
tered into by the citizens of this county
and Col. Thomas Scott, who was presi-
dent OF the road. The contract was that
for certain subsidies given by the county
and city the general offices, principal ma
chine shops. etc. , of the road should be
located and maintained at this place.
The subsidies were granted and
during Mr.. Scott's presidency of the
road and in fact up TO the time the road
fell into the hands Of Gould the agree
ment was carried ont by the railroad.
After Gould got control of the road all
the offices were removed from here with
perhaps the exception of the general
superintendent, the citizens, through an
executive committee, all the time pro-
testing against the unjust and Inwar-
ranted action Of the road. About the
time the road passed into the hands of
the receivers they again sought 10 have
the road carry OUT It's agreement, but
they ignored everything, alleging that
the citizens had no such con-
tract. 1t was learned that they
contemplated removing the general
superintendent Office from here,
and 10 Try to prevent this last act an in
junction was obtained before the district
judge and suit entered to perpetuate the
injunction. The road being in the hands
of receiver, the suit was dismissed in
the district court and filed in the United
States circuit court, by instruction of
Judge Pardee, where the case was called
for trial. The case was heard by judge
Sabin, and a Judgment entered perpetu-
ating the injunction and declaring that
the city of Marshall did have a
contract with the road in accord
Rnce with the donations made.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Jan. 29.-The
city was treated to another financial SEN
sation this afternoon in the assignment of
John z. Sullivan, clerk of this (Marion)
county, to Phillip NJ Capen, as trustee
for the creditors. Sullivan has for several
years been one of the most prominent
Democratic politicians in the city He
says the liabilities are only $50, 200 and
his assets worth $40 900. The assets
consist principally of farm property, all
OF which is mortgaged to County Treas
urer Loftin to secure S22 200 due the
treasurer, and is also mortgaged
to secure his bondsmen. Sullivan 5
Office yields large revenue--in the
neighborhood of Sl5 200 annually. He
claims that his campaign to secure his
election cost him $40 900. Sullivan dates
the beginning of his financial troubles to
the time of his Indictment with Coun-
Gilman Coy and Attorney Bernheimer,
charged with committing the celebrated
tally sheet forgeries of 1886. Coy and
Bernheimer are now serving sentences in
Michigan city penitentiary. Sullivan's
case was never tried but it cost him a
great deal of money, as he is commonly
reported to have furnished means TO de-
fend Coy, Bernheimer and other indicted
parties.
