ANOTHER MRS. MONTAGUE.
Barbarous Abuse Caused the Death of
Her Step-daughter.

LONDON, May THE second wife of
James Clark, q carman, was arraigned
to-day on the charge of having caused
the death of her step.daughter, aged
nine years. She was committed for
trial. and her husband was severely CEN
sured by the magistrate for not having
prevented the cruelties that led to the
death of his daughter. The evidence
showed that the child had been treated
with the greatest brutality.
The little girl was often tied to tho
balusters Of the Clarks' house and was
kept there for seven hours at stretch.
Mrs. Clark frequently beat her terribly
with strap or heavy cane, and very
often when she claimed that she dis
covered the girl telling falsehoods she
tied a string tightly about her tongue
and left her for hours TO suffer excru-
ciating tortures. The child finally gave
way under her step-mother's treatment
and died. The coroner investigated tho
case, and at the inquest it was shown
that the little girls body was Il mass of
bruises and sores, and that her head
was perforated to the bone. A physi-
clan testified that but for tho i'll usage
TO which she had been subjected and
the lack of food, the child would have
been perfectly healthy.

CLEvELAND's sURRENDER TO TAM
MANY HALL.

The New York Sun, In its issue Of Sep
TENDER IL. announces that on the 9th inst.
Mr.. Cleveland ''met by agreement at his
own dinner table three of the four principal
managers of Democratic politics in the
Empire state, who for seven years past
have marshailed the party hosts behind
the standard VIGOROUSLY held aloft by
David Bennett Hill. On this memorable
occasion Mr.. Cleveland gave full and EN-
phatic assurance that he appreciated the
nature of the situation, and that in case of
his election he would be a Democrat
and not Mugwump. He promised that
in the future his influence should
invariably be exerted on the side
of the Democrats and against their enc
mics. For this so indispensable agree
ment Mr.. Cleveland gave his word and not
his signature. 1t being understood by all
the gentlemen present that writing would
not add to the solemnity or trustworthi-
ness Of Mr.. Cleveland's declarations"
This statement announcing Mr.. Cleve-
lands surrender to David B. Hill and Tam
many concludes with most lngeniously
wordcd insult to "the Stuffed Prophet"
when it sarcastically says that writing
would not add to the solemnity or trust
worthiness Of Mr.. Cleveland's declara-
TONS"

ticEt. New Jersey and New York ct the
East to repudiate the tariff plank Of the
national Democratic platform when the
Solid South, the Democracy Of the West
and the New England Mugwump Democ-
racy are radical free traders" The South
always held that protection was uncon-
stitutionai after 1916. when Calhoun
for the last time spoke for protection. The
basis of South Cardinals threatened
rebellion IN 1882 was her revolt
against the protective tariff on the ground
that it was unconstitutional and that
South Carolina as a sovereign state had the
supreme right 70 nullify Federal law at
its discretion. The Southern Confederacy
prohibited protection by its constitution,
and it is the South today that again DOM
mates the Democratic party and declares
through o Democratic national platform
that protective tariff is unconstitutional.
If Mr.. Cleveland Is elected he will be DOM
mated by the Solid South, the West and
New England and the reputation of
''tariff for revenue only" by New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut will not pre-
vent its enactment by q Democratic con-
gress at the first opportunity.

THE "SKw FISHING BANKS"

Posr TOWNSEND, Sept 81. 1892
To THE EDITOR: A paragraph hiss been going
the rounds OF the press stating thas 1.-THE tug
Tyee recently, while cruising ten miles south
west OF Cape Fiattery, discovered fishing banks
apparently unknown, as the latest governments
charts do not show them, the least depth Of
water in their vicinity being eighty-two faith
oms." My attention having been called to this
statement, wrote Capt. Tanner, OF the United
States Ash commission steamer Albatross, at
Mare Island navy yard, and have just received q
reply from him. dated september II. in which
he states:
About that fishing bank the tug recently
found. 1t is on the latest charts and was exam
ined by the Aibatross. There are many spots
from which fare, or more. could be taken, but
Good fishing will be found in the region about
Cape Flattery wherever the bottom IL composed

region about Cape Flattery which were taken in

vessel and tugboat should have . copy, but
every newspaper on Puget sound should have
one in its editorial rooms for reference
The spots mentioned by Capt Tanner are SIM
ply hnmmocks of rock and gravel formed by the
swirliug currents, which, at certain periods OF
the ebb tide, rush with great energy around
Cape Fattery and between Tatoosh island and
Duncan's rock and Duntze ledge. This region
has been carefully surveyed by the Aibatross,
and the soundings are all laid down on this

MAYOR RONALD AND THE HEALTH
BOARD.

The assault made upon the health board
II in keeping with those which have been
made, at various times since the
entrance Of the present administration
into power, upon tho board of police
commissioners. the board Of public works,
the board Of park commissioners and the
library commission. In every case the re-
moval Of commissioners has been
sought for the one reason that
they were not In political accord
with the dominant party. Whatever
ostensibls reasons may have been urged
In each case, this has been the real reason
In all The logical result of the course, As
pursued, will be to drag all city depart
ments into politics, and to make of our
city government huge political machine.
Heretofore the board Of health has been
exempt from these attacks The high
character of its members as gentlemen, as
citizens, and ~ physicians of high stand
ing, taken together with the fact that
they serve without salary or remuneration
of any kind, should, it would seem,
protect them from suspicion. This
has not been the case, however. Bills
audited by them have been cut down UNI
mercifully, and in many cases the amounts
allowed by the auditing board have been
altogether incommensurate with the
service performed. For instance,
where teamster has charged
$l.Oo for hauling dead dog twelve or
fourteen blocks, the auditing board has
cut the amount down to fifty cents-less
than would be charged for hauling .
trunk the same distance, although the lat
Ter would be much more pleasant opera
tion.
This constant cutting down of the
amounts allowed by the board finally led
to a conflict between the health board
and the auditing committee: where
upon the latter demands that
Health Officer Sparkling be removed.
There is no pretense, however,
that he has not been a capable and earnest
official. The only dispute apparently is
rs 10 the reasonahleness of the bills which
have been passed upon by the health
BOARD. On refusing to remove the official,
whose conduct they had approved. the
health officers were requested by Mayor
Ronald To resign. They have refused TO
do this, however. and it is 10 be presumed
that the next move will be TO
undertake to remove them. The mayor
has already declared that they are
'interloping officials and that Is
apparently enough In the eyes of the
present administration TO justify their re-
n,oval, bat whether IL will be regarded as
a good legal ground for such action re-
mains TO be seen. We think il will not.
So far as the public discussion Is con-
cerned the health board has certainly the
