PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

The monster petition of the Salvation Ar

presented to the English Parliament, was
two miles 600 yards and one foot long, and
bore upwards of $4,000 signatures.
81 hear" says the leading writer in thai
greatest of gossips, London Truth, that the
Queen has been advised to pay Prince Henry
of Battenberg's Garter fees and the expenses
of his outfit as Royal Knight, instead OF
asking FariIament Ior the money, a demand
which would justifiably excite, however
great and general dissatisfaction.
Russian girls are learning trades in order
to make their own living. The women's in
dus rial schools are overcrowded. The girls
learn bookbinding, typesetting, shoemaking,
bookkeeping, making of toys and artificial
flowers, wood carving, and painting, schools,
libraries, women and children hospitals, and
many private offices are now superintendent
by women.
A certain mathematical professor is will
ing to demonstrate that baseball cannot be
pitched in any other curve than that caused
by gravitation, and to prove it offers to allow
any baseballist to pitch at him all day, the
professor to stand in line with the pitcher,
with wire screen between them extending
a short distance across the line, so that the
ball would have to describe a lateral curve
in order to miss the screen and hit the pro
feSsor.
The bicyclists of this country, and they
are legion, will doubtless feel much en-
couraged by the reports from Vienna of the
great success achieved by the bicycle scouts
employed in the recent military manGuyres
in that city. They not only appear to have
given great satisfaction as regards general
efficiency, but they are stated to have sur
passed horsemen in endurance. 1t is not
often that popular craze is good for any
thing but the bicycle seems likely to become
something more than toy.

Having published letter from Mayor
Wakefield of Bath charging Mr. James
Bailey of that city with accepting brides
from liquor dealers it is but fair to allow Mr..
Bailey or his friends to be heard in his de-
fence. Accordingly we publish elsewhere a
letter from Mr.. John Hayden of Bath in
reply to Mr.. Wakefeld's. Mr.. Wakefield in
his letter made direct charge of bribery
against Mr.. Bailey and asserted his ability
to prove it, If it is untrue Mr.. Bailey has
been grieyously wronged and is entitled to
large damages and the thing for him to do is
to bring suit in the courts. In no other
way can he get the vindication which he is
entitled to and which he ought to be anxious
for. Such defences as this of Mr.. Hayden will
never vindicate him as an honorable and hon
est man should want to be INDICATED. 1t is
not sufficient answer to Mr. Wakefield's direct
charge of bribery to say that every temper
ance man in town wants Mr.. Bailey for
liquor constable, neither does it relieve him
to say that he was caught in trap set by
Mr.. Wakefield or that Mr.. Wakefield aided in
an attempt to bride him. The vital question
is Did or did not Mr.. Bailey accept a
bribe? Mr.. Wakefield says that he did
and offers to prove it. Mr.. Bailey if he is
innocent ought to go into court Immediately
and call for proof.

The Argus doubts the ability of the Og-
densburg road to earn as much as the bond
holders committee anticipate. glance at
the gross receipts shows there is good reason
for skepticism in this matter. Thus in 1879
with gross receipts of $271, 433.70, the net
earnings were $96,O45.2s; while in 1884, with
gross receipts of 1884. 673.1O the net earninge
were only 9,SS1.47 In 1880 the gross re-
ceipts were only 1922, 659.5S and yet the net
earnings were $1O2, 695.27, or nearly $4,000
larger than last year when the gross re-
ceipts were over $4,000 larger. Again, in
1881 the gross receipts were 1908, 43O54, OF
$4,000 less than last year while the net
earnings were larger. 1t is hard to see what
there is in these figures to lead the bond
holders committee to expect a fair increase
of net earnings in the near future.

The report ON the Mohican proves that the
ship cost tremendously because she was
built in navy yard in California, where
wages and material were very high, under
the supervision of a naval hoard 1t proves
that she could have been built great deal
cheaper and quicker in a private shipyard on
the Atlantic coaSt-that it would have been
cheaper and better to have hired her built
under contract. The finishing of the I'M
completed cruisers is going to prove the
same thing-that John Roach could have
done the work great deal cheaper and
quicker than the navy department can do it.
1t always costs heavily to build vessels in a
navy yard, under government methods. 1t
always does, not only in the United States,
but also in England, France, Germany and
all other Countries So, when Secretary
Whitney broke down John Roach, he made
it cost the government more for these yes
sels and probably more or future vessels.
The navy department cannot complete them
for anywhere near the contract price The
navy department cannot do work as cheaply
as private shipyards. Therefore when the
navy department makes war upon private
shipyards it is leading directly to extrava
gance.

An English alderman, and besides the
President of hamber of commerce, who has
recently been visiting this country has gone
home and =enneuneod his conversion from
free trade to protection. 1t is the result of
extended observations among American in
dustries. He says that hereafter he will not
support at the polls any candidate for Parlia-
ment who is not in favor of an inquiry
into the results of free trade, and who
is not willing to return to the principle
of protection if investigation proves it to be
the best for Great Britain. He is certainly
outspoken for an Englishman in his own
land, but we have no doubt that he voices
the sentiment Of hundreds of his country
men who have not the courage to express
their convictions. 1t would indeed be strange
to see America moving toward free trade
while England moves toward protection.
