THE coMMERcrAE CLUB.

The Commercial club is a comparatively
young body. 1t is the outcome OF the
public spirit and local patriotism of the
younger generation of our business and
professional mcn. 1t has won for itself
a very high place in the general esteem,
and it has justified the general good will
with which it is regarded by the excellent
work it has done for the city in many
different directions.
TIL e Clio is delighted to observe
the evidences of increased and increasing
prosperity on the part of the club which
its removal into its new quarters indi-
Gates. Such bodies are invaluable. They
are indispensable to the growth and
progress of the American municipality,
and they are, as social influences alone,
worth perhaps more than in any other
of the relations in which they stand to-
ward the communities in which they are
maintained.
The st. PaM Commercial club has more
than realized the purposes of those who
called it into existence. Composed Of
bright and alert men in every rank Of
life, it has made its way to the front,
has profoundly Influenced the progress of
local affairs, and has done first-class work
in many different directions in placing
the advantages of the city before the UNI
derstanding Of he people of other COM
munities and sections throughout the
United States.
With men Of recognized great personal
energy and local devotion, active daily
in its concerns and ready to give freely
of their time and labor for the promotion
of it's success and for the Advancement
through it of the citys interests, it is not
surprising that its success has been al
most phenomenal.
AS long as such organizations as the
Commercial club flourish in the city,
there can be no fear that any oppor-
tunity for the promotion of the city's
welfare in any direction whatever will be
allowed to escape.

EILTHY H4RfT..

It is unfortunate that the health COM
hearty popular or official cooperation
which his efforts to bring the splitting
nuisance to end have deserved. If ever
we are to have a thoroughly clean and
healthful city the practice OF splitting in
public places must be as unsparingly
dealt with as it has been in the street
cars of this and other cities.
1t is not to be denied that we have
made material advances in this direction
within the past few years. Whereas spit
ting on the sidewalks was universal
habit then, it is to be said at least that
there is fair minority of thoughtful and
clearly citizens who now give their ap-
prevail to the regulation by carefully
avoiding the offense themselves.
New York City was the first municipality
to establish and enforce the regulation
There has been such an Improvement in
the public health, traceable in no small
degree to the enforcement of the regula-
ton, that it is surprising that the ex-
ample of the big metropolis should not
be more generally followed.
DR.. Ohage and his assistants have
been at pains to post up at prominent
points throughout the city conspicuous
notices requesting discontlnuance or
the splitting habit. That represents the
full extent to which The city may be said
to have gone in the enforcement of the
regulation. 1t ought to so inuch ful Their.
The common council ought to take the
matter in hand and enact q rigid ordi-
nance on the subject and the police de-
partment should be required to enforce
it and bring into court those found will
fully disregarding it.
1t is not necessary to point out to any
intelligent person the truth that the spit
ting habit is highly promotive OF c11l-
sumption, and diseases of the respi1a-
tory organs. Until we have put our
selves on record as determined to enforce
obedience to this requirement of personal
and collective cleanliness we cannot
avoid the imputation of being an I'M
clearly community.

4 NEEDED PROBE.

Representative Williams, of MISSISSIPPI
pi, has done great public service
through the introduction of his resolu-
tions in the house of representatives on
the subject of Simpsons and Crownin-
Shields responsibility for the scurrilous
abuse of Admiral schley involved in
Maclays naval history.
The resolutions themselves are very
sldllfully framed. They bring out, either
in their recitals or otherwise, the salient
facts relative to the attitude of the two
officers named and of the navy depart
ment itself toward the scandalous libel
of Maclay, and direct public attention
toward the published statements i'm
puted to Maclay to the effect that he
had the direct sanction and approval of
the officials named and of other officials
of the navy for the Introduction of the
scandalous matter in his book. More
over, they direct attention to he fact
that this man Maclay has throughout
the entire affair been able still to hold
his position of clerk in the department
Were he not backed by strong influence
he would long since have been dismissed
No ordinary clerk would be retained an
hour after official conduct Infinitely less
scandalous and destructive of the morale
of the service than that OF which he is
undeniably guilty.
1t was not possible to bring Admiral
Sampson before the court of inquiry.
Nor was it possible to conduct the ex-
animation on any lines which might en-
able the public to learn how any book
authorized by the navy department could
by any possibility have embodied such
malicious statements.
Such an inquiry as Congressman VIII
liams seeks will give all the public en-
lightenment which it was not possible
to get through the court of inquiry. Both
Crowninshield and Sampson deserve to
be court-martialed if they gave their
sanction to the statements; and, whether
they did or not should be made known.
The responsible head of the navy de-
partment ought not to remain under the
imputation that for personal or partisan
political reasons he would have tolerated
such an utterly indefensible course to-
ward any officer whatever.
The surprising testimony given by
many naval officers in that inquiry can
be explained perhaps on no other theory
than that an inside, administration
Clique exists among naval officers, the

National Committeeman Norman e.

clares that the Kansas City platform

Certainly it stands. No man, no body

But that fact does not act as nar

Conflict of Great Minds.
Two men of such transcendent abilities
as Hamilton and Jefferson in one political
household could hardly have gotten along
without friction had their political opin-
ions been in accord. Their interests and
ambitions would almost inevitably have
produced clashings and discord. But such
men holding views on all important topics
so Numerically and fundamentally on
posed to each other were bound to come
into conflict. AS a matter of fact. during
almost the entire period when they were
both in the cabinet these two giants faced
each other in. stern and uncompromising
controversy. Between them WASHINGTON
had hard time of it.
OF course, their differences were not in
any large degree personal---very. were
rather differences arising from radically
dissimilar conceptions of the constitution
and OF the true powers of the federal
government. Hamilton was an extreme
Federalist. He wished a strong central-
