Clark, one of the brightest minds that has ever engaged iu journalism, died a few weeks fgo at Keokuk, Iowa, where for almost thirty years lie Lad lived and labored in the editorial cbair of the Daily Gate City and was beloved by all who came vitbin his genial influence, cither by personal acquaintance or through the medium of bis daily writings, "Sam" Clark was one of the men of whom it can be said with serious nieanir.2 that the world is better by bis having lived in i' Mr. Clark was not an adherent of any church; io fact he was known to have decided opposition to the forms of Christian religion, and was gen c rally known as an pgnostic, but bis real heart feelings relative to the eternal side of life are well illustrated by an editorial which he wrote some years ago and which has been re produced by the Gate City. A correspondent wrote to Mr. Clark, asking him to use bis pen to "kill off Christianity" and this is his editorial reply : "So the man and the hour have come at last. But the Gate City must be content to go its way with humbler matters. It was not made for so great a part in the world as killing off Ohtistianity. And then we have got some ridiculous super stitions that we cling to. Of course it is very cowardly and abject in us, but we are not great and wise and must go our small, foolish way. But we do know that (when we see a mother locking into the face of her dead child in its white shroud, with its waxen little hands folded, we are glad there is a voice sounding to the ear through all these nineteen centuries: "Suffer little children to coaio unto Me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." i Ami when the wife moans beside her dead husband it does seem sometimes worth while somebody has said, iu a strong masterly way : "I am the resurrection and the life." And when the father or mother dies who has lived a life so good and pure thnt it sweetens even the life of the censorious into praise?, one likes to think that worrying, poor, uneven life is not at all; but that really they have entered into a great rest, and the shelter of a mighty friendship which say?: "Faithful over a few things, I mtike thee ruler over many; enter Into the joy of the Lord." And do you know that we. have a foolish and unwise notion, someway, that the Lord's player and the ser mon on the mount have' Dot been failures. And that the history of the crucifixion has not been bad for the world. That do unto others as you would that they should do unto .yon, is really a golden rule; that some way, the song of Bethlehem sounding on through these centuries bus done something to bring peact and good will among men. A Christian may be n poor creature enough, but we wouldn't swap him off for any kind of a man the world ban so far produced."

OEUSFROM M'KIXLE Y'S L STTER. "M'KIXLE Y 1 Ml-Ell J A L ISM." The peculiar nature of "McKinley imteriali8m," in its relation to the government of li e Filipino, has do better illustration thin that Afforded by the president's instructions to the Toft commission as given in Mo Kinley's letter of acceptance. It shows In clear light the wanton reck lessness of the charges of the antis that the administration's objects are In perial aggression and the enslavcj ment of the islanders. This, in part, is what the president enjoined: No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law.' Private property shall cot be taken for public use without just compensation. In all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right to a For labor a abort day is better than a short dollar. They (the trusts) are dangerous conspiriacies against the public good and should be made the subject of prohibitory or penal legation. They (the inhabitants of Porto Kico) have a much larger measure of self government than the Inhab itants of Louisiana under Jefferson. Every effort has been directed to their (the natives of the Philippines) peace and prosperity, tbelr advance ment and well being, not for aggran dizement, not for pride of might, not for trade or commerce, not for ex ploitation, but for humanity and civ ilization and for the protection of the vast majority of the population, who welcome our sovereignty against the designing minority whose first demand, after the surrender of Ma nila by the Spanish arms, was to en ter the city that they miht loot, it and destroy those not in sympathy with their selfish, and treacherous designs. Nobody who will avail himself of the facts (which are given) will longer hold that there was any alli ance between our soldiers and the insurgents, or that any promise of independence was made to them. It is our purpose to established in the Philippines a government suit abic to the wants end conditions of the inhabitants and to prepare them for self government and to give them self government when they are ready for ii. The American people" will not make the murders of our soldiers the agents of the republic. As a protectorate power we could not initiate action, but would be It 1 I . a compelled 10 rouow ana upuoia a people with no capacity yet to go alone. If we cannot establish any govern ment of our own without the consent of the governed t,ucn we could not establish a stable govern ment or make ours a protectorate without like consent. Imperialism has no place in its creed or conduct. Freedom is the rock upon which the republican party was builded and and now rests. Empire has been expelled from the Philippines by American free men. The republican partj docs not have to assert its devotion to the Declaration of Independence. If our opponents would only prac tice as well as preach the doctrines of Abraham Lincoln there would be no fear for the sifety of our institu tions at home or the rightful in any territory over which our flag floats. Nations which go to war must be prepared to accept its resultant obli- gat ion, and when they make treaties roust keep them. The American verdict will be for duty and against desertion, OALVESTOX AXI POMPEII. For centuries history and romance have dwelt upon the destruction of Pompeii as one ot the world's most stupendous tragedies. But that ca lamity has been exceeded in the Galveston catastrophe in the opinion of the Spokesman-IJevicw. The population of Pompeii at the time of its destruction has been estimated all the way from 12,000 to 50,000, . with the weight of authority inclining toward the smaller estimate. In all probability the city was less than half as larne as Galveston, and since all reports agree that half the prop erty values of the Texas city have been obliterated, the material loss there will equal to the material loss of the ancient city, and may exceed it, since the United States quarter master there fears that the city has been "destroyed beyond its ability to recover." This will certainly be the case if later investiagation shall show that the deep-water channels into the harbor bave been filled with sand, as the government would hard venture another appropriation of $6,000.0000. In point of loss of life the Galves ton disaster surpasses the Pompeiian tragedy, even if the lower estimates bo accepted, The fatal shower of volc&uic ashes, sand, pebbles, and scoriae was not so suddenly over whelming at Pompeii as to preclude flight, and nearly all except the sick, prisoners, sentinels and a few who returned to secure some treasures saved their lives in that way. Hcbadule of Kipaodltnroa The balance-sheet of a nation, like that of a Arm or individual, indicates the business condition, says the As toria News. On the 4tb. of last March the United States had been doing business three years under the management ot William McKinley. The result of our imports and ex ports is shown in the republican platform. During the period of 107 years piior to the beginning of McKinley 's administration the excess of exports over imports was $383, 028,497. For the three years of McKmley's tern the ex nor t excess was $1,483,537,094. That is to say, the nation's balance on the right side of the foreign ledger, was near ly four times greater in the thfee years of McKinley s administration than in tbo whole previous period of the nation's history. A TJryanite exchange apologizes for Bryan's garbling of the quotation from Lincoln's inaugural address, in Bryan's speech on Labor day, by saying that "the quotation was per fectly correct but of course Bryan did no.t give the whole message Of course not. But the charec proven against Bryan, without shadow of peradventure, is not that he did not quote the whole message, but that he dishonestly refrained from quoting enough of the context to show what Lincoln meant. When Lorenzo Dow took for bis text: "lop not come dowD," in order to make an attack on the way women used to dress their hair in his day, the quotation was "perfectly correct,' but he garbled a text that says, "Let him that is on the house top not come down to take anything out of bis house," which has no more relation to "top knots" than Bryan's garbled extract had to his demagogic effort to create strife between capital and labor. An exchange declaies that "Mr. Bryan should cede Ibe sovereignty of his farm at Lincoln, Neb., to Spain or Jt ranee. The land whs ac quired by the United Stales without the 'consent of the governed' by another democrat, Thomas Jefferson, How Mr. Bryan can consent to live in Neoraska, when this circumstance is considered, is unexplainable." Bryan Is still quoting from Lincoln, but be has hitherto failed to mention an Instance in democratic literature wherein that party ever. said a good word for Lincoln when be was alive.
