THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WAsHNeToN G. THURsDAY
TIE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Commander-in-C Chief Torrance was in
Washington last week, with Quartermas-
ter-General Burrows and Col. X. b.
Beath. Gen. Torrance came on from West

Gen. Torrance is giving up his time al
most wholly to Grand Army matters, to
the sacrifice Of his private business, and

peculiarly successful in always doing the
right thing at the right time and place

Arch to Rebel Dead.

The unwilling and dedication of a mem
orial arch to $3.50 Confederate dead Mt
tracted 5000 people from all parts of the
country TO Columbus, Ohio. The arch
was the gift of William III. Harrison, of
Cincinnati, former citizen of Columbus.
The soldiers to whose memory the arch
was dedicated were prisoners at Camp
Chase, west of Columbus, during the war,
and died in prison.
For many years the little cemetery was
neglected. Later, President Hayes paid
farmer to keep the burial ground free
from weeds. Former Governor Foraker
had the Government inclose the spot will,
a stone wall, and several years ago Col.
w. Fl. Knauss, Federal veteran, insti-
tuted yearly custom Of decorating the
graves.
There were many ex-Confederates pres
ent from all parts of the South, and there
were many floral offerings from -Confcder-
ate Camps. Among the speakers was
Gov. Nash. The graves were decorated
by the ladies of the g. A. r. and the
Daughters Of the Confsderacy.

PROMOTION OF CAPT. CLARK.

At last something has been done for
one of the greatest, and at the same time
the most modest of the heroes of the
Spanish War. Last Saturday the Presi-
dent sent in the nomination Of Capt.
Charles E. Clark, of the Oregon, to be ad-
vanced seven numbers. and be made a
Rear-Admiral. This is certainly little
enough reward for such distinguished SER
vices as he rendered, and which were ex-
ceptional in many striking respects.
Capt Clark was born in Vermont in
1913, and graduated from the Naval
Academy He acquired the reputation of
being a high-class, careful, but enterpris-
ing officer. and the beginning of the
Spanish War found him entrusted with
.!e command of the new battleship Ore
gon, built upon the Pacific Coast, and in
tended TO remain there. But the stately
board decided that that coast was in no
danger that the local defenses cond not
meet, while our feet off in the Atlantic
needed all possible strengthening in
view of the force which the Spaniards
might be able to concentrate upon some
point. Therefore, it was decided to try
the hazardous experiment of bringing the
ship eastward around the Horn. This
was a particularly anxious effort. The
Oregon was new and comparatively I'M
tried; she was the first battleship that
had been built by the mechanics of that
coast, and there was absolutely no telling
how such a great and complex machine
would behave on such a long and difficult
voyage. But the order was given, and
Immediately the Oregon began her mag
nificent rush Of 5000 miles to get into
the fray. Never was ship handled
more sunerbly. Every hour she was
pushed forward with all the power her
engines would give, every hour she was
ready for immediate battle with any enc
mics that might appear. and at no time
was there a single breakdown nor Il mo-
ments stoppagc for any cause, except to
take on more coal, or to send and receive
cablesrams. After passing the Straits
of Magellan, she came into the danger
zone, and it was feared that the Span.
iards, who were wellinformed as TO her
progress, might be lying in wait for her
with their entire feet But Capt. Clark
rushed on, ready to fight anything and
everything that the Spanards had afloat.
After his 15,000 mile rush, after going
through the storms of the Antarctic Win
ter, he came into the feet off Santiago
reader for battle than any other ship
there. When the battle came his was the
only ship that had full power on; he swep,
by the other ships and outran and headed
of the Spanish cruisers and delivered the
final crushing blows ,vbich cont @bo ,,.LoI,

chanical skill, and a Rear-Admirars rank
and pay are small rewards for it all.

THE Census Bureau has quite stupidity
made - the age limit for clerks, Prob
ably no civil service regulation ever had
less TO recommend II, which is saying n
great deal, for the pEigs who have leen
compiling those regulations have been
guilty of innumersble egrcgions foilies
There can be no question that the very
best clerical work done in Washington is
all done by men and women who are past
%. Still less question is there that nearly
all the inferior, botchy and erroneous work
is done by men and women under that
age. II takes many years to ripen a man
or woman TO the proper performance OF
the higher grades of clerical service, rs it
does for any Of the more important duties
of life. The right kind of clerk is very
mu:h better for any sort Of work after
45 than before. He has acquired GER
tainty, facility, a sense Of responsibility
that only long years of constnnt practice
can give. OF course, a man who Is bad
clerk gets worse as he grows older, but the
reverse is true of the man who is fitted
for his place.

MIR. BRYAN promptly recognized the lit
Vie trap that was prepared for him in the
nomination for Governor of Nebraska. and
decided not to enter it. Those who pre-
pared the trap must have had q low opin-
ion of his judgment in thinking it would
catch him. Nebraska is normally Re
publican State. The Republicans have
carried it very niuch oftener than the
Democrats. and when the Democrats have
succeeded it has been regarded as due TO
unusual circumstances. Therefore if Mr.
Bryan had entered the race the chances
would have been against him, aad when
defeated he would have been permanently
shelred, as discrcdited by his own State.
He wisely decided not to be played quite
SO easily by the party leaders who want to
get rid of him.

THE non-Christian population of New
York is increasing much more rapidly than
the Christian. There are now fully ESQ.,
600 Jews in the city, and the number is
increased by every ship that arrives from
Europe. Over 100000 Jews came in last
year. Besides the Jews there are very
many Turks, Hindoos, Chinese, japanese,
etc, etc. Among the Christians the Ro-
man Catholics are increasing much faster
than the Protestants. The Roman Catholic
church claims 954, G02 members. while all
The Protestant churches have only 332, SIC

the pig with some cracker crumbs, inter
mingled with onions and sage, and laid 1t
in a large Dutch-ovsn he found on the
boat. He washed some fine sweet pota-
toes, pared them, and put them with the
pig, covered the oven with its lids, and
set it on some Goals, heaping more Goals

Gid Mackall's mouth watered at the
sight, but the rest of the boys slept on.
Similarly prepared. the turkey was plac-

The grateful warmth of the fire suffused
