CAMP BEATRICE, REsTIaoUCHE RIVER,
Canada, June 29.--Twenty-four hours from
Montreal found me guest Of the Salmon
Club at Metapcdia OF course, l WAS hos
pitably entertained. The club has forty
members, mostly New Workers. The original
price of shares was $1,000 each. Now $4,000
Is their face value. Ex-Presdent Chester A.
Arthur Is president of the club. He is ably
assisted by acommittee which includes many
New York club men. The club has splendid
houses, offices and grounds, and II owns
scores OF miles of tho best salmon river in the

Aftor an excellent breakfast our party took

Bsek-Keeping in the Navy Departmeu

Beek.Keeping In the Navy Department. |
II would have been q genuine surprise if |
Nj. Calhoun, the expert who has had the
book keeping methods of the navy depart
pent under investigation, had found them
correct or intelligent. Everything else
being quite as bad as it could well be, there
was every reason why the accounts should
be In perfect harmony. And Mr.. Calhoun
has 80 discovered.
He finds that each of the eight bureaus
keeps its own set Of books, which show
only the particular operations pertaining to
it, and in no one are the methods the same
as in any other. He finds it impossible to
get Immediate information about any one
thing. If he wanted to know how much
money has been expended upon any one Of
thecruisers now under construction, he says,
it will take him days to get the informa-
tion. If he wanted TO know how much
money was in the hands of the paymasters
at different points, it would require weeks,
II not months.
m simply finds that there is nc system,
\ and that as result, almost any sort of
fraud might be perpetrated with little
chance of finding out when, where and how
it had been done, or who was responsible
for it. This was shown practicallya year
or two ago when a systematic and long
continued series of defalcations was found
to have been in operation in the bureau OF
medicine and surgery. But that anybody
should expect to find any other condition
than this, is more than can be believed. Al
everything has been going at loose ends IL
the navy department for fill twenty years
it would not have been possible to maxi
the accounts do other than represent thi
chaotic condition.
So much for the merely technical side o
the question from the accountant spoint o
view. When the dishonesty and the mis-
management Of the department are take
into consideration, it is plain that blind ac
count books would be the natural and nee
essary allies of such rogues as Robson an
Chandler, and Of such incompetents a
Thompson and Golf and Hunt. If the fin;
investigation which Secretary WhitEe
will order does not show that these bin
accounts have concealed the waste and IL
= theft OF millions hitherto unknown or III
Suspected, careful and intelligent men WI
have for many years watched the course
things will have good reason to be su
prised.

The Philadelphia Press is moved to won
der that a church up in Providence, II. L.,
having spire l9l feet high, decorated with
a gilded ball which has grown shabby, should
send painter up to that ".perilous position 7"
to regild it, The Press has probably not
heard that all over Europe for long ages there
have been built and building noble architec-
tural piles, dedicated to religious worship,
which abound in "perilous positions" for the
workmen who erect and maintain them. And
yet the common judgment OF mankind, OF
history and of art, OF religion and humanity
approves it Even here in old Lancaster the
painter goes up the 1877 feet of Old Trinity's
spire periodically to regild the ball and no
body is horrified at it

THE pocket borough of Woodstock, which
Lord Randolph Churchill has succeeded in
carrying in his contest for reelection to Par
lament recalls the pocket borough OF Ne.
vada in the United States, the only one re-
garding which the government of this coun-
try is called upon 10 feel ashamed. Though
it has never had 10000 people, including
Cinnamon and Indians not taxed, 1t has had
since its admission into the Union, two sena-
tors and one representative in Congress. In
1872 Nevada cast 14,6i9 votes in 1876, 1861
in 1880, ls,3i5 votes and in 1884, the num-
ber dwindled down to 127g7, or about twice
| the number polled the same year in the city
| of Lancaster. The men who represent this
| effete state are moneyed San Francis
cans of the type of Fair, Jones,
Sharon and Mackey, silver kings
claiming nominal residence therein. With
half OF the population of Lancaster county,
| Nevada has two voices in the federal Senate
| and one in the House. Let us hope tha
when another territory knocks at the door
of Congress for entrance rs a state, there
will be displayed more discretion than wa
exhibited in the admission of Nevada.

The preservative effects of cold have not
been well known until recently. Before 1874
or 1875 New York butter men lost much by
reason of that commodity becoming too soft
for use. One day an enterprising firm built
butter vault which they kept at the tenn
perature of 400 or 500, and they could sell
butter in July as hard as that in January.
Then followed the discovery that eggs kept
in cold place largely retained their fresh
ness, and the storage Of eggs became big
business, the stored eggs rating only about
two cents below the price in the fresh egg
market. Game and fruit were found to be
susceptible to the same treatment. But one
of the most useful ends effected by cold Is the
protection it affords TO furs in summer time.
| Furriers once had great trouble with them,
| it being necessary to knock the worms out Of
| their goods twice week, or the hair would
