DON OUIxOTE CLARK.
The NEWS has received the following
letter from Mr.. II. G. Clark:

The NEWS has received the following
letter from Mr.. II. G. Clark:
To the Editor Of the PrOrtience Netos:
You say we had better not "swap horses :"
by making changes in the city government.
IL we have men in the City Council whose con-
duct requires investigation, il would seem the
part of wisdom for the Republicans to pass
them To the rear and replace them with men
who will give character to the party,
Electing Republican senator and losing the
mayor by some thousand votes, would seem 10
point in the direction of placing the strongest
men 10 the front. III. Q. CLARK.
II will be noted that Mr.. Clark has not
surprised his friends or his enemies by
assuming new role. He is nothing if
not critical. 1t makes little difference
to him whether the foundation for his
criticism exists only in his imagination
or whether it rests as firmly as his coal
pockets. Ph9nix-like, out of the ashes
of his own defeat, Mr.. Clark rises as
chirk and CHEEKY as ever. He will not
down.
Mr.. Clark's Introductory sentence is q
positive statement which we shall not
attempt to refute or confirm. His sec
ond begins with condition. He evil
IDENTIFY has suspicion that his position
is not tenable. 'If we have men in the
city government whose conduct requires
investigation" says he. Well, if we
have, let's investigate them. But we
are yet to be informed that any consid
cradle body of men have required" an
investigation of any member of the
council. There were some gentlemen
Investigated, or said TO have been inves-
tigated. But the people decided to re-
turn nearly every one of them to his
post, and the committees report has
found its place of eternal rest. 1t is
very easy matter TO ask for an investiga-
ton, but to find anything by investigat-
ing is quite another thing.
II men in the City Council are to be
subject to investigation at every petty
or causeless whim it will soon become
difficult to find any one of character will
ing to accept nomination for any public
office. None but Mr.. Clark and IA few
of his friends therefore having "re-
quired an investigation, it would seem
unnecessary that the Republican party
should pass any considerable portion of
its members "to the real" and "swap
horses" at this time.
AS to placing 1.-THE strongest men to
the 'front.'" all will agree with Mr.. Clark,
but perhaps few will agree with him as
to who the strongest men are. From
present appearances there seems to be
but one of the strongest men in the city
who is willing to accept any Office that
the generous public may bestow, and
his name begins with "C' and ends with
SIX"
The moral teaching of Mr.. Clark's let
ter cannot be denied, and the wisdom of
it is quite plain; but it is conditional on
that eff their conduct requires" and
thus far nobody has required any such
thing. Mr.. Clark only needs to curb his
imagination and TO lose his reasoning on
facts in order to become one of the lead
ing moral teachers of this age.

purchase of their products. This will be
reciprocity on the highest plane
The treaties need only ratification by
the Colonial legislatures and approved
by the British government. The latter
is merely a matter of form. The day
has gone by when Great Britain essayed
to coerce her colonies. The ratification
by the Colonial legislatures is considered
certain, in view of the extension of trade
which would result.
Protection and reciprocity, these two
fit together like the blades of pair of
scissors and the garment they fashion is
prosperity.

year.
And her young. artless words began TO flow.
)ne day we gave the child colored sphere
of the wide earth, that she might mark and

By tint and outline all its sea and land.

Between her baby fingers; her soft hand
Was welcome at all frontiers; how she leaped
And laughed and prattied In her pride OF oiissl

On our own isle she raised Joyous cryi

Don't believe that the " chances" " of the
men who lead the country are greatly
affected by every little gust and Whit of

Hungry Holiday for Thousands.
LONDON, Dec. 27.-England Is having
severe and trying Christmas weather. A
vigorous frost prevails throughout the
country and the average temperature is
about 90 above zero. London Is buried
under dense fog and It Is difficult to see
anyone q few feet away. Many accidents
have occurred in Glasgow, Manchester and
Newcastle, owing to frozen boilers burst-
ing, and two persons were killed by an ao-
cident of this character at Airdrie to-day.
Twelve skaters lost their lives by drown
Ing In Great Britain yesterday. The poor
are suffering terribly In London. Last
night the Salvation Army shelters were
crowded, all being accommodated whether
able to pay the small charge for lodging or
not. The Salvation Army also enter
tanned multitude with free Christ
mas dinners- Quantities of coal
were also distributed by charitable sgen-
Giles to the needy poor and special vista
tions made TO the district where suffering
most sbounds. The privation in London
among the unemployed increases with the
advance of winter, and Notwithstanding
the numbers already here, multitudes con-
tinue to throng in from all parts of the |
country.
Advices from Lancashire state that the |
locked out employees In the cotton manu- |
featuring districts had a hungry holiday,
thousands of them being dependent upon |

about begging, and IL Is feared |
hat the rigorous weather will cause the |

THE DUBLIN OUTAGE.
Investigating the Cause of the Ez
Plosfon-An Arrest.

Investigating the Cause of the Ex-
plosfon-An Arrest.
DUBLIN, Dec. 27.-James Stephens, the
former hesd-eenter of the Fenisn brother
hood, who has shown decided leaning
toward the Parnsllites since permitted to
take up his abode again In Ireland, has
been interviewed in regard to the explosion
which killed Detective Synott. Mr.. Ste
phens warmly denounces the authors of
the explosion as enemies of Ireland. The
Fenisns, Mr.. Stephens ssid were incapable
of such cowsrdly work.
The government is apparently working
upon the theory that the explosion was
the result of conspiracy. No suspicion
against hr. Stephens exists, but 1t is init
mated that some Of the younger advocates
of physical force have been very busy of
late. The anti-Parnellites are throwing
suspicion on the Parnellites and the latter
assert that no more reason exists for sus-
pecting them than for charging the crime
to their antagonists.
A man named Kevaps has been arrested
at Nensgh, county Tippersry, on tbs
charge of being connected with the Dublin
explosion. Kevans Is stranger to The
townspeople and is unable to give salts
factory account of his recent movements.
Kevens is twenty-six years of age. He
admits that he was in Dublin last week up
to Sunday morning. .--. -- -
The arrest of Kevens caused great ex-
element. A police sergeant had been in
formed of the arrival of suspicious look
ing stranger and had followed Kevens
from place to place. In his possession
were found discharge papers bearing the
name of q steamer plying between Mon
treal and Glasgow and dated in July last.
Colonies Msjendie and Maginn to-day
made q minute examination of the scene
of the explosion. They secured as speci-
mems for further study some of the de-
bris resulting from the explosion. Among
their finds ia massive granite slab. five
inches thick, upon which the explosive
rested and through which q hole was
blown.
LONDON, Dso. 27.-The executive mem
bers of the Irish National lesgne of Great
Britain at a meeting this evening adopted
a resolution, declaring that they view with
adherence the outrage perpetrated In
Dublin, and that said outrage emsnated
from enemies of home rule.

was no danger. In q few minutes
