CLARKE, the founder and dire?tor of the Pacific Garden Mis­ sion at Chicago, died Tuesday night at his home in Morgan Park. In early life Col. Clarke was extensively engaged in real estate and mining Interests, and made and lost much money. But for the last twenty years Col. Clarke had practically given his entire attention to self-sacrificing work among the neglect­ ed and criminal classes, f«p whose wel­ fare and reform his wishes amounted to almost a passion. His success and untiring efforts have given him and his Pacific Garden Mission a national reputation, and his name is known throughout Europe and even remoter countries. As if to indicate that God was in the "mission" with him some of Col. Clarke's investments in mining in earlier days, which he had long since forgotten all about, to his great surprise became valuable, and he considered himself once more rich. This increased his ardor in his work, and he drew un­ stintedly on his store until nearly all that, too, was gone. The expenses of the mission averaged $5,000 or $6,000 a year, and lt is estimated that a convert was made for every $1.50 expended. One of the most noted conversions was that of Harry Monroe about eight years ago. He probably will b?come Col. Clarke's successor in the direction of the mis­ sion. FOREIGN. & DISPATCH has been received at Berlin stating that Emin Pasha has ar­ rived at Bukoba In good health. He came via Darres Balaam, a port twenty- five miles south.

A trial of its machinery was In progress and the end of one of the boilers was blown out. At the same time an explosion occurred in the coal bunkers and set the cruiser on fire. The donkey engines were started and soon the fire was under control. The two ac­ cidents caused a breach in usual man- of-war discipline and some of the officers appeared to have lost their heads. AV hile nearly everybody on board was attempting to i escue the injured, quar­ termasters reported that they could not haudle .the ship. It was found that the steering apparatus had broken down. The cruiser was perfectly helpless and signals of distress were hoisted asking assistance. It was finally taken in tow and brought back to its mooting*. The dead number 22.

JOHN JOHNSON, one of the negroes im­ plicated in the murder of merchant Colquhoun, at Macomb City, Miss., was hanged by a mob of 2,000 citizens, both white and black. Johnson made a con­ fession implicating two other negroes, Joe Gray and John Williams. A PART of the Kentucky Malting Com­ pany's plant at Louisville burned, in­ cluding 165,000 bushels of malt. The loss will be $135,000; Insurance equal to loss. E. W. Herman, President of the company, says the Chicago branch of the company will prevent any delay in business. AT New Louisville, Ark., a negro named Ike Stuart entered the residence of Ben Matthews, a white man. thinking the lattei was absent, and attempted to criminally assault Mrs. Matthews. The husband, however, was sleeping in an­ other room, and, in response to his wife's cries, ran into iher room armed with his revolver -and shot the intruder to death before he had succeeded tii ac­ complishing his design. WASHINGTON* THE civil war Jn Venezuela is prao- tically at an end. After the defeat of Palaclo, near. Caracas, Crespo sent yord that he would allow the Dictator and his generals to remove all troops from Caracas and other cities still un­ der government control and appoint successors, to be named by Crespo; that all political prisoners were to be released, Palaclo to retire in favor of Vice President Villegas, and that he should issue a recall of Congress so that it might regularly choose a lawful successor to the Presidency. In return Palacio's life would be spared. Palaclo accepted and was escorted to La Guayra. THE extraordinary downpour of rain has done frightful damage throughout Eastern Canada, and has also caused a serious loss of life. The eastern Grand Trunk express was ditched near Hill- hurst Station. The killed are: Joseph Cown, Montreal, baggageman; Mark Dale, of Island Poud, engineer; George Bead, Bichmond, fireman; unknown man, thought to be a passenger. The injured include the mail clerk, two brakemen, two section men, and one pas­ senger. The mail clerk was reported to be missing. The locomotive and three cars went over the dump. The accident was due to a washout caused by the re­ cent heavy rains. About three miles from Cowansville the Canadian Pacific morning express with 155 passengers on board was ditched by a washout In a cattle culvert and the tender and bag­ gage-car overturned. The trucks were taken completely from under the first and second class cars and they re­ mained on the dump. Tl\p sleeper did not leave rails. None of the passengers were injured, but the engineer," John Bowker, Customs Officer Mr. Perkins, aAd the baggageman, McGoon, were seriously injured. All the trains from the north are tied up at St. Johns owing to the washouts. Miles of the country are under water and the damage to crops and farm property is immense. In Toronto several streets are entirely f ubmerged and the damage to property there alone amounts to over $200,000. The telegraph wires are down in many places. MARKET REPORT8, CHICAGO.

Ko country can be connted prosper­ ous the majority of whose people do not own their homes. Here, then, we have a food test of the relative benefits of protection and free trSde. Which system makes it easier for a working- man to have a home of his own? Among the iron workers of free trade England, and they are perhaps the most prosperous of all that coun­ try's worklnemen, one man out of ev­ ery twenty five occupies hia own home, la Philadelphia, the largest city of the greatest iron producing state in the 1'nion, there is one home to every five inhabitants, Tli© latest British Parliamentary re­ port on the "Housing of the Working Classes" says: "Even in the connt/y districts (where surely one would ex­ pect to ind more homes) human beings sre to be found hoarded together in a condition roasid Sifiblj* worse than that in which the 'beasts that perish' are usually kept by their owners." Thw IJwileu otales census of 1880 re­ ports that the number of dwellings in the United States in that year was 8,955,- 812. The population was a little over 50,000,000; so that there was about one dwelling to every six inhabitants. One out, of every six inhabitants occupied his own home. It ia to prntfx'ttftn we owe the lumr -number ol American homes. For the tariff maintains the American rate of wages; from our higher wages come the greater savings of our people, and irom the savings of the family comes the home. the Labor (oit of an Article *)«tcr- Wh«tli«r ft I* Chimp «>r Dear. Some plain facts from Mr. Dingley, of Maine, in Congress--Now, Mr. Chair­ man, the gentleman from Nebraska asked me whether goods are lower-- woolen goods worn by the masses of the people, especially those that are all wool--than la Great Britain. 1 answer him that while the cheaper HF«i€i©g oi goods that are not aii straight wool goodi are as low here as in En­ gland, yet all straight wool goods; are not as low here when estimated in money, but that they are much cheaper when estimated in labor or service, in which most, men ultimately pay for their scpplies. I will illustrate what I mean: The Chinaman gets 10 cents a day in money for his labor, while the American work­ man nets $1.50 per day for his labor. Mr. Scott: Or fifteen times as much. Mr. Dingley: Yes. Now the China­ man will take his labor and buy in China with it less than one-half of that kind of product which may be bought In this country by the labor of an American, notwithstanding the money price of the article is much lees in China than here. We all, or the most of us, unless we happen to have bonds to clip, ultimately pay for everything we pur­ chase in what? In our labor--in our service. Is that not true? Nbw, if we pay ultimately in service, the function of money and the part that, it plays in the transaction is simply to make the medium of exchanpe. It iB the medium 01 exchange between the labor and the product which the laborer seeks to pro­ cure,, Money is used for that purpose as a matter of convenience; that ball that it does, Now, when you say that a coat which eosts in Cork f8 is cheaper than one which eoslg $10 in Iowa, you have got. to know another fact before you can de­ termine it, and tnat is how'much does the man who lias to buy the coat get for bis labor or service in the two countries respectively. An article costing 50 cents In China, at 10 cents a day for labor, is much more expensive than one costing $1 here with labor at $1.50. There was a bright Hibernian in my state once who illustrated this point in a way that I trust my friend from Nebraska will ap­ preciate. He was a Republican and a protec­ tionist, by the way, and he had been over in this country for fifteen years. H® had not been able to get ahead any in the old country, but he came here to this country to improve his condition-- thi/s country where peoole are taxed so much, where such burdens are imposed upon them. He came here to improve his condition, as he did improve it. He secured himself a little house and paid for It. He had a little money in the Ravings b*nk,( and was getting along prosperously.v He went, back to pay a. visit to Cork, and while he was gone he bethoqghi Mm that as he had to get a new coat he would Duy one there. He did |so, and he paid $8 for it, and when he returned some of my Democratic friends, having heard that he bought the coat and paid $8 for it, and that the price of the same coat was 59 here, un­ dertook before a crowd of fellow Dem­ ocrats, one day, to rallv him on the point. So they said: "Mike, you are a protectionist, yet Bee what you have done. You have paid $1 more for that coat on account of protection than you could have got it for if we had been un­ der free trade." "Ah, not so," said Mike; "I can buy that coat in this country for six days' labor, and in Cork it will take twelve days' labor to buv it." [Applause on the Republican side.] Re fore and After election. The American people are often ac­ cused of displaying short memories, bat they have not yet had time to for­ get the Democratic cries about the "'billion-dollar Congress," the prospec­ tive ruin of foreign trade by the uncon­ stitutional McKinley tariff and the czar- tens and tyranny of ex-Speaker Reed in counting a quorum. A few months ago these cries were repeated with such seeming honesty and sincerity that many people were led to believe there was something in them, and they were not merely the latest cut and style of campaign lie just from the hands of Democratic artists long trained in the production of such false issues. A short time elapsed and the people learned from a decision of the federal supreme court that the McKinley tariff was strictly constitutional and valid in all respects, and that there was nothing to support Democratic charges to the contrary. Next in order came the official re­ ports of imports and exports showing that under the McKinley tariff our for­ eign commerce instead of being ruined had swollen to proportions never known before. So another Democratic campaign lie went by the board. Further: The supreme court at Wash­ ington not only upheld the McKinley tsriffs bnt (the Democratic justices con­ curring) declared the course of ex- Speaker Rfed in counting a quorum, legal and valid in all respects. So much for czarism, tyranny and oppression in the last Republican House. There remains one Democratic cam­ paign lie not entirely disposed of, al­ though rapidly disappearing, viz., that about alleged' extravagant appropria­ tions by the, so-called "billion-dollar Congress." But that particular lie hasn't much left in it. The people have learned that there was no "billion-dol­ lar" Congress, that no such amount of money was appropriated, and the Democrats now find they must expend as much as the Republicans, or else Sealing with , FiMintiM^V,Mr.ftiiliint, that there OOMw or wore fat pensions: then is no power In tlte party to whteii he and 1 be­ long to reduce the fixed expenditures ol the government, pie interest on the public debt, etc.; there It no .power on earth to re­ duce the expenditures for offices; there is no power to reduce taxation, and you can­ not diminish expenditures. In other words th» democrats lied when they chaffed th* Republicans with extravagance, anf they lied again when they promised to practice econo­ my and reduce expenses. - Exposed mad discredited . at every point what sort of campaign lies will the Bourbons produce this year? Do they really expect the people to believe anything tbev may say ? Can they not see what a nelp it would be to them now to have some slight reputation for truth and veracity ? • - . What w# Ac« n(i)iik( for> The chief points of the Republican platform: ... We relieve in the American doctrine of protection. W e believe that articles, except luxuries, which cannot be produced In the United States shor.Ul be free of duty. We demand that on ali imports compet­ ing with the .products of American labor duties should be levied equal to the differ­ ence between wages at home and abroad. We ask the people to pronounce a verdict Upon the cowardly course of the Demo­ crats in attacking the tariff piecemeal. We believe In reciprocity, which has opened new markets tor the products of the workshop and the farm. We believe in the use of both gold and silver money. We demand that every, dollar, whether of gold, silver, or paper, shall he equal to every other dollar. We believe in an International confer­ ence to secure a parity of gold and silver throughout the world. We demand that every citizen, rich or poor, native or foreign bora, white or black, shall be permitted to cast one ballot and hate It counted as he cast it. We propose to keep on fighting till we have honest elections in every state. We favor the revival of our foreign, com- raferce HI. American, ships. We demand a navy to protect our inter­ ests and maintain the honor of our flag. We demand that arbitrary combinations of capital to control trade conditions shall he ii|(iuiv rvgultttou. We believe in wise and consistent civil service reform. Wo believe in admitting all the territories Into the Union as soon as they are quali­ fied for entrance. We reaffirm the Monroe doctrine. We demand the restriction of criminal, pauper, and contract immigration. We demand that the employes of rail­ roads, mines and factories shall be pro­ tected against all needless dangers. We sympathize, with the oppressed in every land. We demand freedom of speech and of the press. We believe in popular education. '. We favor the construction and control of the Nicaragua Canal oy Americans. , We believe that the Columbian Exposi­ tion should be made a success worthy of the dignity and progress or the nation, and that the government should aid in this if necessary. Wc sympathize with all legitimate efforts to promote temperance and morality. We pledge to the loyal veterans of the war for the Union the recognition that is theirs by riant. We are proud of President Harrison's maunificeni administration. AIKI we propose to give the- country an­ other admit)istratioa just as good tor the next four years. j - . rr*M OplMiona mi Oar JR«puklt/»n L«ld- The Evening Wisconsin: Presideht Harrison was renominated, aot because he was the best man, bnt because he was deemed the most popular and avail­ able candidate, not in one section, but in every section of the Union, His pop­ ularity is widespread and general: therefore he was properly considered the strongest candidate. His adminis­ tration has been clean, pure, patriotic and wise, and therefore he possesses a grand record to go before the American people tor its approval. He is strong ia th© lloubtlul states, just where the Re- Eubtican party needs most strengt.li. [e is strong in New York, Connecticut, Indiana ana Michigan. With, the elec­ toral votes of the first three lie can be elected without th© votes of the silver states, so-called. He is sufficiently strong on the Pacific Coast to carry Cal­ ifornia, Oregon and Washington. We think also he will carry Nevada and Wyoming. Senator Jones ia a warm ad­ vocate of free silver, but he loves the Republican party even more, and with hi« influence Nevada will cast her votes for Harrison. With Harrison we have a good fighting chance for Wast Virginia, which has six electoral votes. The Inter Ocean: Mr. Depew well called Benjamin Harrison America's parallel to the younger Pitt.

Four years ago he was an expectation rather than a realization. His rank as a law­ yer was high and his record as a senator good, but his towering ability has been the surprise of his administration. The country supposed when he was nomi­ nated that he was a fairly able man, but hardly mere than that. His short cam­ paign speeches made them inquire: It§ it possible that a great statesman heads the Republican ticket? Fortunately for the real test of his ability the two most important cabinet officers, the secretary of state and of the treasury, were dis­ abled from official business at very critical times, and in both cases the President came to the front in person and conducted the affaire of their re­ spective portfolios, doing so in the most satisfactory manner, Those two epi­ sodes fairly demonstrated the remark­ able statesmanship of Benjamin Harri­ son, and, taken in connection with the general administration of affairs and the continued felicity of speech, has left no room to doubt that a very great states­ man occupies the office of President and is candidate for re-election. The Milwaukee Sentinel: That Ben­ jamin" Harrison should have been chosen by the national Republican convention to be the candidate of his party for re­ election to the high position which he now holds, on the first ballot, taken aft­ er full consideration and comparison of Tiews, is much more remarkable than that there should have developed a formidable opposition to his candidacy in favor of another leader long a favor­ ite with the American people, of excep­ tional brilliancy as an orator and ac­ knowledged eminence as a statesman. But the representative organization of the party judged, and acted upon its judgment, as correctly as in the cases of Lincoln and Grant. There is no ques­ tion or doubt as to the quality shown by President Harrison in the conduct of the executive office. He has never mad® •'m serious mistake, and h« has made no mistake of any kind in any of the cases where his judgment had an oppor­ tunity for free and untramreeled action. He could not make himself acquainted with ail the facts bearing upon scores of thousands of official appointments, but even in appointments to office his acts will challenge comparison with those of any of his predecessors. His tact has been unfailing and his patriotism un» questioned. The continuance of his ad­ ministration will be a positive assurance .. ibri,,_ il' th« BfljnwMifin aitgdStfttMfa convention st Miapeftpoiis, has done , It has nobly rodsemtd .1* hat proven itMrff equal to •%. 1*Ms risen to th« levfl . . opportunity, Asd to*d*y s P**ty--yes, mors than that, an enthusiastic- country--extends to the convention thanks and congratulations.

A$«*ce, who, if honest and intelligent, will deny that person­ ally President Harrison is such a as an American President ought always to be; pur® in character, incorruptible in office, strong in intellect, capable.by nature and by experience for the dis­ charge of a statesman's duties, prudent, sagacious and patriotic. The New York Tribune: Merit wins. The people recognize and gladly reward faithful and effective service. In sixty e*e»pt;«K, Liucuia and Grant, have rendered by wise ad­ ministrations such, exceptional service to the people as to secure re-election. All the efforts of zealous friends would have been of no avail had not the Re­ publican millions believed that Presi­ dent Harrison, by really rare sagaeity, fidelity and firmness, had deserved at their hands exceptional confidence and honor. Under no other President have American conasaercs Assssicsa try, and the prosperity of the American people made such progress, and the na­ tion rightly judges that triumphs in peace are no less worthy of laurels than triumphs in war. * * * The nomin­ ation of White law Meld for Vice-Presi­ dent completed the work of the con­ vention. On this subject it becomes the Tribune to speak briefly and simply. The distinction wag not sought, and cannot secure a more zealons and loyal support of the Republican ticket by the Tribune than it would have given to any candidate whom th© convention couta hay© chosen. Th® nomination of Mr. Reid does, however, impose upon this juuiuai upcvxut vmigaiivMs w and fairness and patriotism, which it will endeavor so to discharge as to de­ serve the approval of friends and the respect of opponents. The Indianapolis Journal: The re- nomination of President Harrison is a great triumph for him and for the Re­ publican party. Personally he could well have afforded to retire from public life at the end of one term. The past is secure and the record of his adminis­ tration is made, His rank among Presi­ dents and his place in history ar® al­ ready fixed, and he need not have feared the judgment of the historian, even if he had not been renominated. The President's triumph is emphasized and magnified by the violence of the opposition to him. It were needless now to recall the origin or motive of this opposition. In the opinion of the Journal it was ungenerous, unjust and. unworthy of those who engaged in it. Nevertheless, the fact remains that it was fierce and formidable, well organ­ ized and well led. That it did not suc­ ceed was due to the fact that th® Presi­ dent's character, and record were im­ pregnable, and that his place in the popular esteem was so firmly fixed that no movement against Mm could suc­ ceed. The attack developed his strength and demonstrated that he had a much stronger hold on- the country than was supposed. The President is decidedly stronger than he was before the opposi­ tion to his renotnination began, and very much stronger than he would have been if he had been renominated without opposition. The Republican party has had a fortnnate~and a narrow escape. The failure. to renominate President Harrison would have been, all things considered, a disgrace to the party , and would probably have led to its defeat. He would have been vindi­ cated by history, but the party never could have been. He would have sur­ vived the stupid blunder of failing to renominate the man who led the party out of defeat four years ago, and who has made success possible now, but the effect on the party would have been almost irreparable. Happily its tute­ lar divinity was at the helm, and it has been steered through the breakers into the open sea. Even if it should suffer defeat, which we do not think possible, it has been saved from the ignominy or committing suicide. laatrnctiv* Illustrations.

The statistics of the foreign trade have, as usual, given another hard blow to th© old free trade falsehood, "If we do not buy we cannot sell."

The Hat Wouldn't Shut Up. Lately the little sons of the Emperor of Germany we»e shown the mysteries of a chapeau-cla^ue, or crush hat Shortly afterward, in the ante-room of their father, they found a tail hat, and immediately desired to test their skill in shutting* it up. Being an ordinary hat, and without the claque mechanism, it natprally refused to shut. At last one, little prince, growing impatient, said to his brother: "Sit on it, Fritzchen!" Fritz obeyed; there followed a loud crack and a roar of laughter from the authors of the mischief. The Emperor sent out to ask the cause of the disturb­ ance. Pointing to the smashed hat, the young crown prince replied, with a military salute: "The obstinate thing wouldn't shut at first, but among us we managed to make it change its mind !" The wrecked hat was replaced by a new one, which the owner will doubtlesa keep as a souvenir of a very amusing episode in the life of his country's fu­ ture head. A Profitable Investment.
