cTawled into carriage to get out of the

old maid in it. No sooner was he in

away they went at lightning speed and
gave him free ride with the Old maid.

begging on the streets. The Mayor said

brass and not much Of a. ring anyway.

PERHAPS the rapid growth Of the interest
Of undergraduates in athletic sports which
President McCosh deplores, is due largely to
the fact that the majority of them are much
better qualified by nature to excel in physi-
cal feats than in mental achievements. 1t
is undoubtedly the case that large number
of the students at our colleges are men
whom college course will do no good.
They are not students by nature and college
work is to them the merest drudgery.
Boating and base ball are eagerly accepted
as relief from what to them is dull routine
of studies in which they feel no interest.
They enter college simply because they can
afford it and because it is the fashion.

The Bartholdi Statua.

Seven years ago visitors at the centennial
exhibition at Philadelphia saw placed in a
conspicuous part of the grounds an enor-
nous hand and arm In an uplifted position
and carrying the representation of a fam.
ing torch. This hand and arm, formed of
great plates of hammered copper, was part
OF gigantic statne of Liberty Enllghten-
ing the World, (which it was proposed to
place at the entrance of New York, harbor.
1t was to be the work of the French sculptor
Bartholdi, and was to cost about two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars. The mon
ey for the statue was raised by subscription
III France, and when the image was compleG-
ed it was TO be presented to the United
States in the name of the French people
At Paris, on late Friday, the work of fit
ting and putting together the immense
plates Of which it was composed was 80 far
advanced that invitations to view It we're
sent to President Grevy, Minister Morton,
and small select party of French and
Americans. Nearly one-half OF the superior
part of the statue had been temporarily set
up for the inspection Of the visitors in the
grounds attached TO the workshops of M.
Bartholdi, and this part, consisting of the
head, the body down to to the waist, and
The iron framework of the right arm, rising,
as it did, to some seventy or seventy-five
feet, gave an excellent idea Of the vast size
the statue is intended to be when it rises
fulI-draped from its pedestal hundred and
forty-fye feet in the air. The place selected
for 1t is Bedloes Island, which belongs to
the United States government and fronts
the Atlantic. The pedestal itself, ac-
cording to Gen. Stone who has charge
ofits construction, will be about one hundred
and forty-eight feet high, so that the statue
and the pedestal together will have height
of some three hundred feet, or an elevation
Of more than hundred feet greater than
the Washington monument in Baltimore
In the presentation of tue statue it was
made one of the conditions that the money
for building the pedestal, estimated at two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, should
be raised in the United States. Subscrip-
lions have heretofore come 10 slowly, but
the committee In charge of the matter have
now about hundred thousand dollars In
hand, and, as the statue is approaching
completion, expect to raise the remainder of
the required sums In various ways in time
for it to be used as the work ON the pedestal
progresses, and to have the-pedestal COM
pleted ready for the statue when Ii arrives to
be placed on it. The base of the pedestal
will be sixty-four feet square, and at the
platform ON which the statue will rest forty
feet square.

THERE seems to be some danger of con-
fllct of authority over the subjugated Indi-
ans whom General Crook is bringing home
ward in his train. Secretary Teller, who as
Colorado man has his own ideas about In
dians, is inclined to favor policy of retribu-
tive determination; but Secretary Lincoln is
not disposed to travel so fast, and shows no
particular willingness to submit himself to
the direction of the impetuous Teller. It
will be the opinion Of most people that the
sensible thing to do under the circumstances
would be to take General Crooks advice in
the premises. Though neither a Cabinet
officer nor a Colorado statesman, General
Crook probably knows more than Mr.. Teller
about Indians in general and these specific
Indians in particular, and he is hardly open
TO the charge Of sentiment or andue tender
heartedness.

THE Democratic national convention of
1880 declared for ''tariff for revenue only"
without any qualification whatever. The
Argus of yesterday quoted the following
definition of the Democratic idea of a tariff,
and endorsed it as sound in every particular:
A tariff for revenue, limited to the necessa-
~ expenses of the Government, and adjusted
with view to equality in the public burdens,
and also to the protection or encouragem ent of
home productive industry and labor so far as
sound policy and just regard for both public
and private interest may require.
The Argus, we believe, endorsed the Demo-
cratic platform of 1880 as sound in every
particul lar. Has it changed its views since
then, or does it believe "a tariff for revenue
only" is the same thing as a tariff for reve-
nue. adjusted to the protection or encourage
ment of home protective industry. If the
Argus had not protested with considerable
vehemence that it never straddled we should
be inclined to think thas it was INDUCING in
that performance on the tariff.

ONE receives vivid though far from sat-
isfactory idea of the condition of TIE United
States navy from the circumstance that Sc
cretarJ Chandler, whose salient characters
tic is solid business sense, has determined to
sell thirty of our ships of war to the highest
bidders to the end that they may be broken
up for old materials. These thirty vessels
were recently examined by the Board of In
spection, which reported concerning them
that they are not fiji to 90 to sea, and that
they are in such a diapidated and democrat
lied condition as not to be worth repairing
1t is to be hoped that these condemned hulks
will not be sold out until the four new steel
cruisers are under construction, or we shall
not have enough navy left to swear by or
appropriate money for.

Etiquette on Transatlantic Steam
Hartford Couran


Eighty thousand Americans annually visit
Europe. OF this number $4,000 sail from
the port of New York. They spend upon
an average while abroad $500 apiece.
The greater number are ladies. Such is the
statement made by a Broadway travelling
commission firm to a journalist The i'm
portance of these annual pilgrimages, which
are increasing year by yer, has developed a
system of ocean etiquette that governs the
conduct of what may be termed the best cir
cles of maritime society" Nowadays the
captain cf crack ocean steamer must not
be man OF Infinite tact and method, with a
thorough knowledge of what society re-
quires at his hands.
To sit at the fright of the captain, at ta-
Bile at once accords to tie occupants of that
distinguished honor the highest place in the
social scale on board ship, and the position
is competed for with an amount of anxiety
that is very amusing. The senior surgeon
and his assistant when two are carried) act
as deputies, and rank socially next in i'm
portance to the captain himself How to
accommodate the various claims for this
coveted distinction is matter of serious
moment. The personnel of the passenger
list is searched at least forty-eight hours be
fore the vessel sails. Very often the purser
is called into consultation, and the difficulty
is finally settled by placing card bearing
the passengers name upon his or her plate.
From this decision there is no appeal. 1t
frequently happens, however, that one or
more persons may consider themselves
sighted, and where it is probable that the
imaginary slight will disturb the social har.
the canfain lut Ii
meals in his own room.
In the hrst-class ships, as the Bothnia,
the Alaska, the Britannia, the Arizona, the
Baltic, and the Spain, which carry from $50
to 200 cabin passengers apiece, it is becom-
ing the rule to dress for dinner--the ladies
in semi-evening toilet, the gentlemen In
frock coats. A good story is told by Purser
Neppens of the Cunard line. SIT is rule,
sir" said steward to tall, fair passenger,
ITO put on frock coat at dinner" This
was after the vessel had been two days at
sea. The passenger persisted in wearing
his suit OF light tweed, and the request was
reiterated on the following day, which hap
pened to be stormy one. The vessel
lurched heavily, but the passenger appeared
in frock coat OF exquisite fineness. The
contents of plate of soup, however, soon
destroyed its gloss, and the gentleman re-
tired abruptly in confusion. He said MOTH
inc, however, until Liverpool was reached,
when, placing letter in the hands of the
pnrser, he desired him to give 1t to the man
ager of the line. Its contents were as fol-
lows: 'The line Line,

Medical Quackery.

The rather free translation of the remarks
of DIR. Wedgewood on quackery at the re-
cent meeting of the Maine Medical Society
which was published in the PRESS has given
rise to good deal of discussion and dissent.
The inference, even from the report in the
PRESS, that DR.. Wedgewood meant to charge
the church with endorsing medical quacks
was rather forced, and the exact language
of the doctor which we publish this morn
ing seems to furnish no ground for it at all.
There are undoubtedly quaeks who don the
garb of religion that they may the better
delude their victims, just as there are quacks
who hold diplomas from reputable medical
colleges, but the CHURCH is no more respon-
sible for the former than the educated med.
ical profession is for the latter. The so
called "faith cures" at first glance may
seem to duplicate the church, but we have
no doubt that investigation will show. that
the great majority Of educated clergymen
and religious newspapers, if not every one,
take no stock whatever in these alleged
cures as due to any miraculous Intervention
of Providence and do not hesitate to say so
publicly and privately.
There will be no dissent from DR.. Wedge
woods conclusions that the prevalence of
quackerJ in medicine is to be deplored and
that something should be done to remedy
the evil. What the most effectual remedy
Is is difficult question to answer Educa-
ton will undoubtedly do good deal, for
much of the success of quaek doctors is due
to the fact that among the ignorant sort of
superstition prevails that gifts of healing
have been conferred on certain men which
more than compensate for theirlack of
knowledge of medical science. Quack doctors
of this variety would find their occupation
gone if their ignorant constituency was edu-
Gated. But there is another and more dam
gerous class of quacks-men who pretend
to have knowledge and skill which in real
ity they do not possess-whom nothing but
legislation can reach. They obtain money
under false pretences and should be treated
Just like other swindlers. Legislation
against them has been several times at
tempted but has failed. And the cause of
its failure is due more to the jealousy exist
Ing between the different schools of the edu-
Gated medical profession than to the opposi-
ton of men prominent in religious and
temperance reforms"
