dreds of millions of money has been
offered to the government at per
cent in the face of a great war-thus
demonstrating that. providence saved
the nation from pitfall of debased
money, fiatism, and Bryanism, worse
than war
We commend the wisdom and dis
erection of President Mckinley IN all
his dealings with the Cuban ques-
ton, the patience and caution with
which he approached .the awful re-
probabilities of war, and the vigor
and thoroughness with which
he prepared for it harrassed
as he was with the clamor of the
impatient, so that in less than eighty
days from tho destruction of the war
ship Maine the United States navy
achieves a victory equal to any in
modern warfare, and we see mighty
army of volunteers marshalling and
fleets gathering.
We congratulate the country upon
the splendid exhibition of American
spirit and valor in the harbor of Ma
Mia by Commodore Dewey and his
gallant officers and men upon the
brilliant victory added to the laurels
of our navy, and we trust that equal
opportunity and success may be
granted other naval commanders I'M
til not a Spanish vessel is left upon
the waters.
We congratulate the farmer, the
artisan and the laborer, interests en-
bracing practically all the people OF
this district, upon the improved con-
dition--prices of farm products going
up while the producer sleeps, and full
time. and often extra time, for the
men in the great manufacturing plants
which have given the district world
wide fame. The Republican idea OF
home production was never better
exemplitied than in the relation which
exists between the farmers and the
great concentration of market and de-
mand within the limits of this dis
trict.
We denounce populism as degrad'
ing to the spirit of a free and high
minded people, in cultivating a con
temptible whine instead of heroical
l ly mastering adverse conditions, OF
patiently enduring the results of oul
own mistakes-in supplanting indus
try, economy and individual effort by
patent right schemes to beat work
and a dependence on some myster
, ious power of government; and il
proof of its degrading tendencies W.

CAPTAIN CLARK IS SICK
COMMANDER OF THE OREGON
SENT HOME
The Brave officer Worn Out by His
Wonderful Work Since Leaving
This Coast

WASHINGTON, August 5.-Captain
Charles r. Clark, commander of the Bat
tleship Oregon. now mi Cuban waters off
Santiago, has been invalded home. The
news of Captain Clark's illness came as a
shock to his Washington friends in and out
Of the navy, who have followed with ii.-
tense interest his notable trip from San
Francisco around the Horn to Florida and
noted with added interest his conduct of the
Oregon in, the battle with Cervera's squad
ron.
| Definite information concerning his H.
ness is not obtalnable at the navy depart
ment. Secretary Long said tonight that
Captain Clark had been granted leave of
absence on account of sickness, but he had
no knowledge of how sick he was or from
what disease he was suffering.
1t is believed at the navy department
that Captain Clark is suffering from some
climatic affection, induced by the extreme
nervous strain under which he has been
for months.
Captain Clark entered the navy on the
29th day of September, 1860. He was COM
missioned as captain on the 21st Of June,
1926, and took command of the oregon on
the 18th of last March. He Is a powerfuA
man, both physically and mentally. He
has never known what it Is to be sick, hav-
ing had scarcely a days sickness In his life.
NEW YORK. Aug. 5.-The Washington
correspondent of the Tribune, telegraphing
of Capt. Clarks sickness. says:
For some days 1t has been known that
the strain of overwork incidental to the
memorable voyage Of his peerless ship
around Cape Horn and the arduous tour
Of watch duty off Santiago, eliminating
In the magnificent dash past the other bat
tleships when Admiral Cervera attempted
10 escape, had seriously affected Capt
Clarks physical strength, and that he was
on the verge of breaking down. Only few
weeks ago his responsibilities were aug
mented by the selection of the Oregon as
Commodore Schley's flagship, and orders
were issued appointing Capt. Clark chief of
staff. The additional duties imposed by
this assignment were of an exhaus,ing and
worrying character, and they quickly told
on him
Naval officers fear that Capt. Clark's
active career is ended, although in rare IN
stances a period Of rest has resulted In the
complete recuperation of officers under
somewhat similar circums tances, notably
In the case of Admiral Sicard, who was
compelled 10 relinquish command of the
North Atlantic squadron several months
ago. but has been able to preside over the
sessions Of the naval war board"

a tale of terrible suffering on the New

relief to persons sick and dying from star
walton. Large quantities Of provisions

The failure Of the fisheries will tend to
further increase the suffering.
