Nothing can be farther from the
fact. We are an ardent admirer OF
his. We recognize his ability and
pay homage to his success. His

discretions, is as beautiful and pure
as an angels dream. His business
life is above reproach. His ability
in certain lines is unquestioned.
His reply to Hon. Chas. A. Towne's
great free silver speech was
mastery effort and that 1t was so
regarded by republicans was proven
by the fact thatit was translated
into dozen different languages and
circulated by the million by the
National Republican Committee.
There are a lot of his political
actions we do not like aud which
we consider disreputable. We will
specify them if Mr.. McCleary OF
anyone authorized to speak for him
calls for such specifications. No
doubt there is a lot of things about
us he don't like and considers dis
reputable.
We disagree most radically from
him on the tariff question and on
the subject of reciprocity. Mr..
McCleary made a tariff speech in
the last congress. 1t was not
circulated as campaign document
by the republican national or
congressional committee. 1t is
reported that he will make tariff
speech some hours in length. We
venture TO assert that it will not be
circulated as campaign document.
The republicans will not dare to so
circulate it.
We have criticised and do criticise
Mr.. McCleary's position On the
tariff and reciprocity but it is a
mighty small mind that can't
recognize the difference between
criticising mans position and
criticising a man himself.

NOT POPULAR NOW.

When the German carp first came to this country 1t was hailed as a big fish blessing. Now the stories about the blessing are looked on as de- eidedly fishy, and wise men are killing carp. One has just been killed in yer- mont after long and comfortable life This fish, along with others, was placed in a small pond on a Vermont estate more than twenty-five years ago, when there was good deal of interest in the raising of German carp. All the others died or were caught, and this one had been forgotten. Attempts were after ward made to stock the pond with trout, and more than 100000 fry and fingerlings have been placed in this lit- tie artificial lake that covers a little more than an acre, but they never throve, and each lot eventually disap- peared. At length the pond was dragged with the idea of scraping the bottom and making it better place for trout. When the bottom was barred the big fish was seen burrowing in the mud. It was too far from the bank to be reached from the shore, and the bottom was too soft to walk on, so a man was summoned and dispatched the carp with his rife. The fish was twenty-seyen inches long and weighed twenty-three pounds. It had been fat tening on trout fry for quarter of a century.
 Of course this carp couldn't well com- plain He had had a good time and died fat. But perhaps he reflected a little just before his death on the fick- leness of popular favor.

The cirIr cIub of New Haven.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 It has been a matter of surprise to the writer that your columns have not yet contained that reference to this sub- ject which seemingly it merits While there are many and various organiza- tions of worthy object already thriving here. the fact that there is niche for the efforts of a Civic Club has been demonstrated already, though as yet but in quiet way It held it's first annual meeting last week at Center church chapel, where the writer sat and listened as q mere outsider. The bus- ness of the meeting was conducted by the president in dignified and orderly way. The reports gave the usual items of such papers and amount still in the treasury The verbal response 10 the call upon various committees gave a practical picture of the aims and plans of the Civic Club, displaying system and wise direction of effort. The intro- duction of Mrs. Hilligar, president of the Civic Club of Hartford, now enter ing upon it's fifteenth year of service was the eliminating interest of the gathering. Space cannot be taken for more than q brief notice of her dis- course. The placing of danger cards upon buildings where there was con- taglCus illness and the wise and pop ular use of the public parks, especially Riverside park, were times which inn pressed themselves upon the attention of the writer Tn Philadelphia, in Brooklyn, and a number of the smaller towns of New England, Civic clubs or their kindred have arisen fourished and benefited.
 While it is yet too soon to look for large results by the workings of the Civic club of New Haven, it certainly does not deserve ridicule or sarcasm, but rather the word of encouragement and commendation.
