FOR JUDGE BRADFORD AND MIR.
VANDEGRGFr.
One heart-broken man occupied a
seat in a car attached to the train
which pulled out of the depot at
French street just before noon this
morning. He was Thomas s. Clark,
convicted and sentenced to five years
in the penitentiary at Trenton, N. j.,
for aiding and abetting William n
Boggs in defrauding the First National
Bank OF Dover. Clark was accompan-
led by United states Marshal Short and
Sheriff Finn. He carried a vallse, and
to it was tied a small bundle wrapped
in paper TO a Journal man, who in
terviewed him at the station, Clark
said:
Il am going to my sad punishment,
but l am innocent of the charge for
which l must suffer. am going 10
prison to put the hours in as happily
as can"
"Mr. Clark" asked the reporter,
whom do you blame for your trou-
ble?"
'Wen," and here he heavily sighed,

Strength in Unity.
To the Editor Of the Enterprise:


On Saturday we had brondside
from one of st. Louis 13-inch
guns and every shell pierced the
armor. If we fail to profit by the
good advice he gave us, IN which
he 80 plainly proved the effect of
unity of action in upholding our
association and the good results to
US both now and in the years fol-
lowing, by keeping up to the high
est standard any association can
reach, we are surely fools of tine
first water. l do hope that never
again in the history of our associ-
alton will it become necessary to
call a meeting for n similar pur-
pose. For great rs the cry was,
when it came to the actual facts
there was no real cause for COM
plant.
The arguments in favor Of work
ing together and the strength OF
unity made me think Of the act Of
the old Pennsylvania farmer who
had twelve sons. When on his
death bed he called them all to.
gether and asked them to bring II
stick .each. When they had all
assembled, he asked the weskesi
to break the strongest stick, which
he did without trouble. Then he
directed them to tie the remaining
sticks in n bundle and told the
strongest Of the boys to break the
bundle. but he failed even to bend
it. Whereupon they all saw the
point and promised the dying
father that, come what might, the,
would always stick together.

The Portland daily press., 1898-04-28

To rely upon public sentiment to de-
termine whether special session of the
legislature should be called IS practically
to hand over the question to
people who DON'T know anything about
it, and whose sentiment in regard to it
is just as likely to be wrong as right.
The Constitution says the Governor
vene the legislature. Evidently the in
tention here is to place upon the Cover
nor the determining Of what an extraor-
binary occasion is, and whether or not
the legislature should be called together.
II it had been the intention to place the
responsibility Of deciding these things
on the people provision would have been
made for referendum. There can be no
doubt that an extraordinary occasion" is
present, SO that the only question left is
whether there is good reason for calling
the legislature together. If all necessary
provisions can be made for the defence OF
the State without an extra
session. then there is no good reason for
calling it together II, on the other hand
legislation Is needed to enable the COM
mander-in-chief to put the State in as
thorough condition Of defence as the sit
uation calls for, then, not only is an ex-
ira session needed, but omission to call
one would. if any disaster should result,
bring down upon the person or persons
guilty of it the condemnation of the peo-
pie of the state. 1t lies with the Cover
nor and his Council to determine these
matters, and the responsibility cannot be
shifted upon the people. If later on it
should appear that there had been failure
to provide for emergencies, and that it
was due to neglect to call the Legislature
together, it would not be much of de.
fence to say that public sentiment had
not insisted on special session. The
reply would be, and it would be conclu
siye one, that the officials who knew tie
facts were the proper parties TO decide
what was necessary and expedient.
The Portland daily press., 1898-04-28
AT THE PHILIPPINES.

If the report from Madrid is true that
the Spanish squadron at Manila has de-
termined to fight the American fleet I'M
der Admiral Dewey, we may expect very
soon to hear of a conflict. Admiral
Dewey sailed from Hong Kong for the
Philippines several days ago, and as
| they are but $50 miles away he must be
close to them by this time. The report
from Washington was that his instr uc-
| lions contemplated nothing more than a
peaceful blockade of Manila, like that
being carried on around Cuba, and that
| bombardment of the town was not in
| tended, but if the Spanish fleet comes out
to meet him of course be will fight. Ad-
| miral Dewey's squadron is composed en-
tirely of modern war vessels, four of them
protected cruisers, and one Of these the
Olympia, which is regarded as the best
vessel Of her class in our navy. The
| Spanish fleet, on the other hand, is of a
very inferior class. 1t contains four
cruisers, but none of them is protected,
and one of then, is of wood. Barring un-
forseen accidents conflict between the
| two fleets must almost cert ainly result in
| victory for the American feet.
With the Spanish fleet disposed of Ad-
miral Dewey will have little trouble in
investing Manila, and perhaps, with the
| assistance of the rebels. in taking pos
| session of it. Manila is the only base
which Spain has in the Pacific,
and it is absolutely necessary for her to
retain it to be able to attack our com
MERGE in that ocean. Without it she can
not procure coal or the other supplies
needed for her ships. If Admiral Dewey
succeeds in destroying her squadron and
selling Manila he will, have
struck a fatal blow to Spanish operation 8
in the Pacific.
