BE JUST TO CLARK.

The Journal prints elsewhere on
this page a strenuous appeal by the
Memphis Appeal in behalf of Cap
tain Clark. From Galesburg, Ill, a
correspondent sends a clipping from
the Chicago Journal bearing the title
above Subjoined is the article,
which is printed in double leads:
We heartily endorse the plea, made
in behalf of the heroic Captain Clark
of the battleship Oregon, by the es-
teemed Commercial Appeal of Mem
phis.
4 AS the Commercial Appeal points
out, Capt. Clark has not only receiv-
ed no reward for his great services,
among the most important rendered
during the Spanish war, but is actu-
ally lower in relative rank than
when he and Schley, almost single
handed, destroyed the Spanish fleet
off the coast of Cuba
To state this fact is to make it's
monstrous injustice obvious to the
dullest mind If ever an officer of
the American navy deserved well
of his country Capt. Clark is that
man. Who has forgotten the cool
struction from the Spanish fieet-none
the less menacing because it was
afterward found to be imaginary
steered his magnificent ship down the
edge of the world, under the light of
the southern cross, around the troubled
Horn, up again, and came breath
less, but eager and prepared for ac-
ton, to Schley's side outside of San
tiago?
And who can forget how he, with
Schley on the Brooklyn, bore the
brunt of the battle on that July day,
and with Schley swept the Spanish
ensign from the wearied seas?
Yet Clark has seen such braggarts
and do-nothings as Evans, such snarl-
ing, envious absentees as Sampson,
heaped with honors, while his portion
has been neglect and, apparently,
oblivion. But oblivion can never be
Clark's fate, so long as men remain
who honor courage, capacity, and the
record of great deeds. Shall this
man go longer unrecognized and UNI
rewarded? With our Memphis con-
temporary we say, emphatically, MOI
These utterances, with many Others
of similar character, serve to show
how intense and widespread is the
feeling in this country on the subject
of the navy departments strange
treatment of the officer who is hard
ly second in services rendered and
honors won in warfare on the seas il
the late conflict with Spain.
The contemporaries are in error il
saying that Captain Clark is lower il
the order of precedence in his grade
than when he fought in the battle of
the Cuban coast That condition existed
till Congress, at its last session, adopt
ed the recommendations of the secre
tary of the navy, which advanced Cap
tain Clark, in the grade of captain

FIRE IN LISBON, N. H.

Lisbon, N. H., Nov 4.-Startng in
the peg mill of James G. Moore early
Sunday morning, fire destroyed large
part of the business section of this town.
The inhamable material in the mill made
a tremendous blaze, and the flames
quickly spread to the adjoining buildings
on Main street. Not only were the
principal business blocks burned, but Sc
vera dwelling houses also were swept be-
fore the fire. The burned buildings in
clude Brigham's hotel, the bank building,
Cogswell and Olivier's store, block own

two or three halls. The telephone office
was also destroyed. The total loss will
amount to fully 100000 with insurance
of between $4,000 and 100000

AN IMPRESSIVE LESSON.

The following is commended to the
attention Of tax-dodging citizens in
Vermont
An Indiana court has made an ex-
ample of wealthy tax dodger who
for years has been defrauding the
State by making false returns of his
property He was fined 81, 900 and
compelled to pay back taxes for sew
enteen years on property that he had
succeeded in hiding out, and of the
existence of which his sworn tax re-
turns gave no hint. He got off light
enough, and his punishment is said to
have caused commotion among the
tax dodgers, who are numerous i'll In
DIANA as they are in every other
State. The honestt axpayers of In
diana have been paving this rich dead
BEATS way for many years, and it is
only justice to make him disgorge.
The indianapolis newspapers say that
a campaign against men of this class
has been begun in earnest III their
State, and that some of them are COM
ing up to pay arrears Of taxes which
they know they owe, and to increase
their tax returns to something like
honest figures. This is a reform that
should be made to extend to all the
other States. Atlanta Journal.

In the current discussion of the sins
of Tammany it is said that the gross
outlay of Greater New York in 1899
was 1886, 253, 245. That of Chicago,
Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, st.
Louis, San Francisco, Buffalo, Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit,
New Orleans, and Milwaukee-thir-
teen of the largest cities III the nation
combined was SIG, 715, 1862. These
figures include in all cases the repay
ment of temporary loans. The real es-
1896, 118. OF these combined cities it
was $93, 1872. In the maintenance of
pavements alone New York paid two
and a quarter times as much per
given area as these thirteen cities. In
nearly every department expenses
have been increased at wholly I'M
necessary rate. Money talks, and this
story of the corruption by means of
which Tammany keeps its grip on the
voting population of New York may
make a deeper impression than its
constant and systematic pandering to
vice. Money is the first thing for
which corrupt political organiza-
ton like Tammany Hall works, and
its adherents work for money. Lead

gether by "the cohesive power of pub

Once there was a merry villager in
a solemn opera company who had as
piration to be whole constellation all
by herself. She watched the starry
armament very carefully and noticed
that every star had plenteous collec-
tons of jewelry and so many diamond
sunbursts that they got tanned wearin
them. She forgot to remember that
all the stars had written testimonials
to patent medicines, and that the pic
ture of one of them or another went
with every bottle of tonic. She thought
all were stars who glittered and
straightway saved up her salary for
ten years and soon had bureau
drawer full of kohinoors. She then
applied for a Job on the strength OF
her gem museum. But the manager
asked her If her pictures were all over
the town recommending new sort OF
nutritious puppy biscuit. Then she
sadly replied that it was not. He re-
piled: You won't do. The diamonds
are all right, but we can't put them
on a billboard" Whereupon he blew
cigarette smoke through his nose,
which signified that the interview was
over.
