capt. Clark orrhr oregon.

The Montpelier journal is doing a good
work in its campaign demanding Of the
government for Capt Clark of the Oregon
the recognition which he deserves. Capt.
Clark was next to Admiral Dewey the
popular hero of the Spanish American
war, and with good reason. He brought
the Oregon at racing speed $4,000 miles
and the vessel was ready for an engage
ment when the long journey was over.
The chief honors in the naval battle
which resulted in the destruction of the
Spanish fleet of Santiago were awarded to
the Oregon. Starting from poor position
in the race for the Spanish fleet the Ore
gon ran away from all of the American
vessels with the exception Of the cruiser
Brooklyn, and actually excelled in speed
her own trial record run The Oregon
was an important factor in destroying four
Of the Spanish cruisers. The records and
reports show that the big battleship was
handled with a consummate skill, without
which the Viscaya and Colon would have
had good chance of escaping
How is the man who was the domnat-
ing force in handling the Oregon reward
ed? Sampson, Schley, Philip and even
Higginson, who was GO miles from the
scene of the great battle, have been made
rear admirals. Honors have been shower
ed upon Wainwright Of the Gloucester and
others; Dewey has been given the highest
recognition in the gilt of the nation, and
all of the officers who fought with him
have been advanced But Clark, despite
his conspicuous services, ranks lower to-
day, on account Of the promotion Of the
others, than he did before the war.
The Journal states the case correctly
when it says: Capt. Clark's name and
fame in the naval history of his country
are secure. He will stand with the nations
foremost heroes. No one stops to inquire
the rank of John Paul Jones, or Hull, or
Perry, or Decatur, or Farragut. Clark
will be as big hero as captain as with the
rank of admiral. But people like to see
republics grateful, and to show their graft
tude while the objects of it are living
They like to see the honors and emolu
ments of extraordinary service and devo
tion to duty fairly distributed Because q
man is as modest as he is brave they dom
like to see him overlooked or slighted
while valor's naughty champions are mo
nopolizing everything in sight"

Proposed Government of Hawaii.

The Senate bill to provide a government
for Hawaii, now in process of enactment,
is criticised on the ground that it practi-
caly constitutes the President dictator.
1t vests the executive power Of Hawaii in
a governor appointed by the President
with the advice and consent of the Senate
but removable by the President alone
He has the veto power over bills passed by
the Legislature, under restrictions similar
to those circumscribing the legal power Of
the President of the United States.
The highest embodiment of the judicial
power is a supreme court, of which the
chief justice and the justices are appointed
by the governor, with the consent of the
Senate of the territory. The legislative
power is vested in legislature consisting
of two houses, styled respectively the
Senate and the House of Representatives
but the chain of authority proceeding from
the President down is completed by link
in section 10, "that in case any election to
a seat in either house is disputed and legal
ly contested, the supreme court of the
I6TIllOT1 Vi hdhdll sndll uc lub SOlt JuuBS
of whether or not legal election for such
seat has been held" and not only that but
"lf it shall find that legal election has
been held, it shall be the sole judge of who
has been elected"
So the President appoints the governor,
whom he may remove at pleasure, and to
whom he may therefore dictate policy, if
he chooses; the governor appoints the
highest court, whom the President is there
fore able to name from Washington if he
wills; and the judges have the power to
empty the entire legislature of the men,
bers originally certified as elected and fill
it up again from the list of the defeated,
and nobody can go behind their decision
in such case. 1t should be stated, how
ever, that considerable doubt exists as to
whether this provision regarding contested
election cases will get through Congress.
The House at least seems to be against it,
The bill is regarded as of great Importance,
as IL may serve as basis in arranging for
the government of the other colonies.

A Foe to bogus Insursnee Orders.

Major George s. Merrill, g. who died
Friday at Lawrence, Mass, was for many
years editor and proprietor of the Law
renee American. He was a captain in the
civil war, and one Of the most prominent
members of the Grand Army, holding the
position of national commander in 1881.
He performed great public service as in
surance commissioner in Massachusetts,,
holding the office nine years, beginning
with 1888. He caused the suspension of
irresponsible organizations which robbed
the people of the state of hundreds of
thousands of dollars He fought inces-
sanity against the short term endowment
orders which overran Massachusetts, and
beguied hundreds of poor people with
promises contrary to all known rules of
finance.
These concerns were strongly intrenched
in the Massachusetts, legislature. State
ments OF leading lawyers in the Bay state,
who were in the employ of the concerns,
were scattered broadcast to give people
confidence in the promises which were
held out. Many Of these concerns prom
ised three dollars for one and five dollars
for one within short period, claiming
that they were able TO make such payments
through the assessments received from a
constantly increasing number of new mem
bers. Thousands of people joined these
orders, but Thousands of others were I'M
doubtedly kept out Of them through the
fight made at that time by reputable news
papers and Major Merrill Those who op-
posed the orders had only short time TO
wait for vindication, as collapse followed
collapse, and the dupes were glad to get
from receivers fractional part of what
they had paid. Readers of The Phoenix
will recall the incisive letters which Major
Merrill wrote in 1890 to this paper, to ap-
pear in articles refuting the fallacies Of
financial charlatans.

The new members of the Philippine COM
mission have been named this week-Hon.
Henry c. Ide of st. Johnsbury and Gen.
Luke Z. Wright OF Tennessee. Judge Ide
is we'll fitted in mental capacity and train
ing flor his new responsibility. He has
been known in Vermont for years as a
brilliant lawyer, but came to the attention
of the country at large as chairman of the
commission representing the United States,
England and Germany which settled the
land troubles in Samoa, and later he was
chief justice of Samoa. The Philippine
commission now consists of Judge Taft,
chairman, Dean Worcester, Judge Ide and
Gen. Wright. One other member will be
appointed. This commission will contain
two Vermonters, Judge Ide and Dean
WorcesteE and the chairman is the son OF
an eminent Vermonter.

Judge Ross is measuring up to the full
stature of a Senator of the Vermont cal
ibre. Littefeld of Maine in the House and
Beveridge of Indiana in the Senate came
to fame through their maiden speeches,
but both efforts have been completely over
shadowed by Senator Ross's address in
support of his resolution that the provi-
sions Of the constitution do not unaided
by act of Congress, extend over Porto Rico
and the PHILIPPINE Islands. 1t is said that
the President read and re-read the speech
and called the attention of the cabinet to
it. The President expressed the opinion
that Senator Ross had pointed the way
through the maze of constitutional discus
sion regarding the right of Congress to
legslate for the Philippines without first
extending the constitution over the islands
The speech will be printed as Republican
campaign document and will be sent to
lawyers and others all over the country as
an unanswerable argument on the consti-
tutional rights involved in handling the
Philippines. 1t is said that Senator Ross's
speech changed the whole course of legisla-
tion for Porto Rico.
