NEW YORK, Sept S0-An Ottawa special
says: From what can be gathered in official
circles here the captain OF the government
cruiser Critic has made serious mistake
in seizing the American fishing schooner
Davy Crockett at Souris, T.. +. l., on the
25th inst. The commanders OF Canadian
cruisers were instructed 70 avoid making
seizures unless under exceptional circum-

government that every cause that might
raise dispute over the Atlantic fisheries
should be avoided this year while the Beh-

captain OF the Critic has been requested 10
explain his action at once, and II there Is
a possible chance OF clearing the seized
schooner Il will be done.

The First Ward.

Ah0 aEos
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
If there are Republicans in the First
ward Gas indicated by the Sunday Regis
teri who intend to scratch Mr.. Hitler and
vote for a Democratic alderman, let them
remember that the defeat of the regular
Republican nominee in that ward may give
the Democrats full CONTROL of every board
in the city to be elected by the next
board of aldermen.
If those gentlemen who made such Bit
ter personal fight against Mr.. Hitler desire
to dig their political graves they cannot do
it more effectually than by carrying their
hostility 80 far as to now oppose his cleo
ton. In the contest for the nomination
they were fairly and squarely beaten by
Mr.. Hitler. If Mr. HUM had received the
nomination, Mr.. Hitler and his friends
would have worked zealously for his cleo
ton. Now that Mr.. Hitler has the nomina-
ton the supporters of Mr.. HUM are in
honor bound to vote and work fol
the Republican nominee. Any othel
course would be a violation of good faith
and party honor. Men who go into and
submit their claims to q caucus are expect
ed to abide by the results of that caucus,
whether pleasing to them or otherwise.
Now that the nomination has been fairly
and honorably won by Mr.. Hitler per
sonal feeling should be laid aside and the
solid Republican vote should be given to hin
as the chosen nstandard-bearer of the RepYb
lican party in the First ward. Mr.. Hitler

MORE PLAIN TALK

Republican newspapers in the great
West are very outspoken concerning the
new tariff. Among those which have
freed their minds are the Chicago Tribune,
the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the Minneapo-
lis Journal, the st. Louis Globe-D Democrat,
and the Omaha Bee. And it is not alone
from the newspapers in the large cities
that the protest comes. The Peoria Qlli-
nois) Transcript recalls the fact that be-
fore the passage of the bill, it, with
numerous other republican sheets, warned
congress that it would not be acceptable to
the West" The elections have been held
and ''the people have condemned that bill
SO long as this is government of the peo
pie, by the people, and for the people,
says the Transcript, ''the will of that peo-
pie must be respected. If there are matters
in the Mckinley bill that require alteration
that alteration should be made. The Repub
hcan party is the one to do this, and il
should be done promptly" And th'
Rockford Register says: The cause of tn,
revolution which transferred the contro
of the poplar branch of congress to tn,
Democrats being known, it is the part o
wisdom for the Republican leaders a
Washington this winter to prove them
selves true servants of the people by re-
pealing the Mckinley tariff and adopting
in it's stead measure perceptibly reduc
| ing the old schedules. This is the com
mand which went up from the people tn
4th of November, and the fate of Republi
canism in 1892 depends on the promptnes
and good faith with which this popula
mandate is obeyed by the ffty-frst con
gress during the remnant of existence re
naming to it.
| This is the voice of part of the people
It should receive careful hearing frou
the Republican leaders.

Says gossiper in the Cincinnati Times
Star: Henry Clay has daughter buried at
Lebanon, Ohio. She died while Henry
Clay and his family were on their way to
Washington by stage coach many years
ago. She was a girl twelve years of age
and her loss was sad blow to her father,
who at the time was go pressed with bust
ness cares that he was compelled to bury
the body and go on to Washington, intend
ing some day to return and remove it to
Lexington, KY. But he never did 80, and
the grave may be seen yet in the old burial
ground surrounded by wire fence. The
tombstone is one of the flat tablet style,
and relic-hunters have so marred it that it
now presents dilapidated appearance.
To such an extent was this spirit of relic
seeking carried on that the graveyard au-
thorities at last set posts every two feet
apart around the grave and wrapped them
around with wire strands to the extent of
twenty or more, SO that it is almost i'm
possible for anyone to climb over and chip
off piece of the gravestone. AS the old
burial ground is being rapidly abandoned,
| it is only question of a few years until
Henry Clay's daughter will be the only oc-
cupant.

1t is interesting to notice how European
nations have made progress in their efforts
to civilize and Christianize Africa by gob-
bling up the best parts of her territory.
The European possessions in Africa, which
in 1876 amounted to 1,179,33 square
miles, now spread over an area of $780,
406 square miles, which is very consider
able part of the II, 300, 900 square miles
that the continent of Africa with its
islands is estimated to contain. The al
lotments are as follows in square miles:
Portugal, 774, 1893; Spain, 10000; France,
$500, ,s4s; Germany, 1,O35, ,7s0; Congo
Free State, 1,0Oo, 900; Italy, 800, 900; Great
Britain, 1,9O9,4 ,445. Egypt and the inde-
pendent African states cover about 1 300,
600 square miles, and there are about z, 500,
600 square miles that could still be seized
upon if the land were worth the seizure, or
did not involve too much expense or
danger.
So goes the world. The Africans will
perhaps not stand civilization and rum any
better than tho North American Indians
have, but they are Gin for it," and will

This crime of neglect seems to be more
general among club men than in private
circles. Once or twice have heard "pre-
siders" wax wrathy in discussing it. Not
long ago member of popular Chicago
club said they never knew how many to
expect to their regular club dinner. They
usually could tell what number not TO ex-
pect. Regrets came struggling along, but
they came sooner or later, even if the Last
were received when soup was being served.
Notes acknowledging invitations with &C
ceptances were sent by some very prompt
ly and others not at all, and many times
they would serve dinner for one number,
and find, on sitting down, from ten to ff-
teen more guests than acceptances re-
ceived. 1t should be made rule that no
acceptance signifed a regret, and the
guest who has been SO remiss informed of
the fact upon his arrival. There is one
man in Chicago SO particular about this
kind attention that he even acknowledges
invitations to come and look at fine pic
lures, statuary or any invitation not hav-
ing a strictly commercial basis. The re-
suit is that this man is one of the most
popular man in Chicago in all circles, So
cial and commercial.
