Washington Post.
 The announcement was made at the White House yesterday that the Presi- dent had decided not to reappointl James S Clarkson surveyor of the port of New York.
 The dropping of MT Clarksen by the Roosevelt administration proba bly, VIII effectiually put an end to the public career of man who. until a compar- atively few years ago, was one of the most conspicuous and potent factors In Republican politics. MT. Clarkson att tained prominence while a citizen of Iowa. and was chairman of the Repub- lican National Committee during the Harrison regime. He was also at one time Assistant Postmaster General Giving all his attention to national poll itics Mir. Clarkson not only lost his financial interest In what at one time was the most profitable newspaper property in Iowa, but he also got out of touch with the local affairs of his State.
 When new men and new measures prevailed in Republican management. Mir Ciarkson was completely eliminated as a factor in his party's affairs. Then he went to New York. Powerful eff forts were made to have him given a good berth in the consular service in the Mckinley administration. but Pres ident Mckinley refused to do anything for him. Then his friends rallied to his support for Secretary of the Senate. but the late Senator Platt. of Connect- icut. and few other members of the powerful Senate coterie defeated his candidacy for that position. electing in his stead the present Secretary, MT. Bennett of New York. e.
 Soon after President Roosevelt was
 inducted into cffice the late Mark Han ua prevailed upon the President to give
 Mir Clarkson the lucrative post of sur veyor of the port of New York. While he was Civil Service Commissioner. Mir Roosevelt, in a speech at St. Louis severely arraigned MT. Clarkson as spoilsman, and he was naturally em- barassed when Senator Hanna, backed by Senators Allison and Platt of New York, insisted upon Mir.

 Republican conventions. Mir. Clarkson was an old and efficient hand at that business. Whether or not he was in- | fuentiaI in getting the colored vote of i the South for the President at the Chi cago convention will never be known, because as 1t turned out, there was no opposition to Mir.

 The Rnufisua of Jesus.


 The person and mission of John the Baptist seemed like the last effort of Providence to awaken the dull and skeptical nation. His garments. his food, his very self was a powerful ser mon. He preached in one of Gods first temples, with jutting rock for a pulpit, the whole dome of heaven for a sounding board. and the river for baptismal layer. He was veritable Mt. Sinai. He held the mirror of the law with an unwavering hand before the guilty conscience of the people. Each class of sinners. hypocritical scribes and Pharlsees, extortionate tax-gatherers. dissolute soldiers. all received their merited rebuke; multi tudes submitted to the baptism of re- pentance.
 A great audience. all Judea and Jeru- salem, city and county. attended the ministry of John. Courageous sincerity is a magnet that seldom fails to draw. There was a striking contrast between the appearance of the preacher and some of his auditors. at least. They were clad in embroidered robes, and wore silken and jeweIed girdles and turbands But beneath this fair and glittering exterior in many instances. was the moral filth of unregenerate natures. To succeed as John did. in extorting confession of sin from such as were priding and pluming themselves upon their ritualistic correctness, was something startling. This was the first hole drilled under the ecclesiastical establishment. the complete honey combing of which Jesus was to effect in his own brief ministry. The whole fabric which had been so long build ing. and seemed so secure. and was a refuge for those swho sought emolu- ment and power, would soon totter to its fall.
 John the Baptist was careful to affirm that his mission was purely prep aratory. He could not forgive sin nor cleanse sinners. He could only put them in the way of finding One who was mightier than himself. Well and faithfully did he perform this arduous task His highest ambition was to be a voice crying in the wiidernessS Pre- pare the way!"
 When he was at the very zenith of his power, his congregations largest, and his influence widest unexpectedly one day Jesus stood before him. re- questing baptism at his hands. John started back in self depreciation. at once recognizing and acknowledging g the infinite superiority of the One who stood before him. crying. T have need to be baptized of Thee" Jesus, in His reply. acknowledges that He stood under no necessity of repent ance. only affirming this ceremonial duty. and thus identify Himself the more thoroughly with those to save

This uncompromisinE prophet, with his sack-cloth garment ana cheap diet was the last and great est in the long line of those who had called the Lords people to account. and sought to prepare to receive the Mes siaha It was all in vain. The vine yard consistently brought forth wild grapes. John the Baptist's re- vival may not have been altogether superficial sensation. He was not re- sponsible for it if it was. No doubt out of his converts there were many among the three thousand whom Peter added to the Church at Pentecost. = Preparing the Lords way into the hu- man heart Is the most glorious work in which mortal can engage. It Is at the same time the most delicate and difficult Yet there is no enterprise in which we can engage in which we can be more certain of the approval and as- sistance of Heaven. He is a pub lie benefactor who pushes the people to put into public statement their secret conclusions Jesus Himself did not need to repent, but He did need to show by public sign that He was on the side of righteousness. A leader must be beyond his age to pull it on, like the beast that tows the canal boat The longer the tow the greater the speed. But the attachment must be real and practical. A detached lead- CT is no leader at all. '" A good modern version of Emerson's phrase is, Hitch your wagon to star, but keep the wheels on the ground" e" It is merely a curious question whether Johns baptism was an original rite or one that he adopted. It served the same purpose in either case.

 As the door closed upon the man she would never see again. the first Mrs. vanderveit buried her face in her arms on the table beside the chair and sobbed quietly. Suddenly she was startled by tapping at the door and then a childs voice called out:
 Mamma. Oh, mamma. Are you there?" Then the door was opened and the little boy rushed into the room. laying a bunch of roses in the lap of his mother, as she lifted her head and tried to dry her eyes,

"I am never without Cuticura Soar and Cuticura Ointment since tried them last summer. About the latter part of July my whole body began to itch. I did not take much notice of it at first, but 1t began to get worse all the time, and then 1 began to get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and other remedies that were recommended for skin humors; but 1 became worse all the time.

A friend asked me to try the Cuticura Remedies, and did, and the first appli- cation helped me, wonderfully.

FIL1BusTERING IN HOUSE.
Williams Forces Record on Waiving of
 Eight-HOur Law In Panama.

Williams Forces Record on Waiving of
 Eight-HOur Law In Panama.
 Washington, Jan. 26--The first at tempt at filibustering at this session occurred in the House today in a Dem ocratic endeavor to defeat the provis- sion of the urgent deficiency bill waiv- ing the eight-hour law for foreign la borers on the Panama Canal. The amendment was placed in the bill in committee of the whole after the House had divided many times on every pre- text which Minority Leader Williams could make the cause of vote. When the bill, to which the amendment was proposed, was finally finished late Tn the day, demand for separate vote and roll call on that amendment was made and ordered, at which time the House adjourned.
 The vote will occur as the first busi- ness tomorrow.
 The amendment was ruled out of the bill on point of order Tuesday and its insertion today was effected under the provisions of special rule brought in from the Rules Committee for that purpose. A roll call was had on the previous occasion on the rule, which was a test vote, and it was carried by 1858 to 9S, the Democrats making up the minority vote.
 The only other controversy of the day resulted from an attempt to in- crease by $115,000 the amount of the meat inspection by the Department of Agriculture This increase was refused after an animated debate in which Chairman Tawney characterized the movement as an attempt by the depart ment to coerce Congress into giving more money than the Secretary esti- mated for Those favoring the amend ment did so, they stated, in the inter ests of the cattle industry of the coun- try.
 The House adjourned at 5:SO o'clock until tomorrow.
