The Critics Criticised.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL, The loss
of the steamer Cambridge is, indeed, a calamit-
event, and upon whom does the blame
rest? When such disaster occurs many rise
people are ready to tell us all about it." Some
newspaper reporters will work it up with dia-
grams and lucid explanations. he will know too,
as well as they.
Now let us see: Take chart No, 105 of the u S.
Coast Survey, and we find that Bantam" from
which the Cambridge took her departure for the
"Old Man., is IL. miles, statute, therefrom and the
course by compass from buoy to buoy + by n "a y.
on this morning of Feb. 10th the Cambridge pass
ell Bantam nearly one mile distant, the tide on the
first of the ebb. The course then steered was Z
81 n, the that Capt. Rogers had used in good
weather steamboat pilot for quarter of a cen
fury, and hasn't he carried the Lucky old katah-
DIM and other steamers over this route times
enough and safely enough, to know what course is
the true one?
And wheelsman Hall, too, who, as Capt mgraham
asserts, is "as good took wheel'
testfies that the steamer on this on the
fatal morning, which course if taken from the top
of bantam will run clear of the Old Man nearly
one mile, but as the Cambridge departed from the
former nearly one mile distant she should have
cleared the Old Man nearly two miles, which she
has done many times before when on the same
course.
1t has been said the weather was clear, so it was
overhead Monhegan Light had been SEEM also
Franklin Light miles distant, but had Allans is
land been plainly visible nearly two miles \ y L
of the Old Man the steamers position would have
been and her course altered.
No one believes that these ''long tried and faith
full men colluded to cast the Cambridge ashore
and why should the steamer take such a freak
"just this once to drift two miles in a run of 45
minutes. This only; on that morning an unac

The sch. Charlotte. T. Sibley, of Belfast, Capt.
Thomas q. Bartlett, has had many remarkable ex-
periences since she launched but her greatest
perils have been from fire rather than the sea.
Last summer at the great fire at Jacksonville the
Sibley was lying at the wharf in the wake of the
fire and narrowly escaped burning The captain
succeeded in hauling into the stream just in season
to avoid destruction.
Last week he had a narrower escape in the
great fire at Wilmington, n. c. The Sbley was
loading lumber at that port for New York. The
fire was raging along the water front and coming
directly upon the vessel. There was but seven
inches of water under the Sibey's keel and in a
few minutes she would have been aground. In
this emergency Capt. Bartlett paid a tug boat $50
to haul him into the stream. The wharf where the
vessel laid partially burned. The captain
writes vivid account of the fire and says some
square Triggers paid as high as $1,000 to be hauled
out of the burning docks 1t was a time when any
price would have been paid and the tug boats reap
ed a harvest.

Concerning OyerlayS.

TO THE EDITOR OF TIE JOURNAL: In reference
to the statement in the Taxpayer of Feb. 10th,
THAT during the four years prior to the incoming
of the Taxpayers administration, the ingenious
practice obtained of making the appropriations as
small as possible and requiring the assessors to
make their 'oVcriay' as large as possible under
the statute thus at the same time keeping down
the appropriations and keeping up the taxes" I
will say in reply that the Board of Assessors for
the four years prior to lSS2 were governed in max
ing their overlays by only two considerations. First
to make them sufficiently large to cover the anti
cipated Attachments and allowances so that there
should no deficiency come to The city treasury
from those sources. Second, to have II conv enient
fraction to use in assessing the taxes The over
lays for the four years prior to 1882 necessar
ly large as there during those Years taxes as
scsscd amounting to about $1,000 on property that
the city had voted to exempt and which the city
council allowed i'll the settlement of the tax collec-
tors with the city treasurer. Those exemptions eX-
pred i'll lSs2 And it appears from an examina-
ton that the overlays for the four years named
coed the allowances and Attachments but $573I

He Wanted to go to Sea.

On Thursday last Stanley Quincy, the sixteen
years Old of Richard Quincy, at the Head of
the Tide, Belfast, left his home without the know
drove his sister for sleighride, and later left
alone with the team. Not returning at night slis
picion was aroused and this was strengthened
when it was learned that he had taken his best
suit of clothes. A search was made and the horse
found in this city, and it was ascertaiued that
Stanley had borrowed $40 of the Hatch Bros. The
boy last seen in the vicinity of the steamboat
wharf and as the Penobscot left that afternoon it
is supposed he left her. Mr.. Quincy says
Stanley has had desire to go to and to visit
foreign parts, speaking particularly Of Australia
He had told his school fellows that he would not
remain in his fathers mill, but was going away.
The boy has an excellent home, kind and indulgeut
parents and his action much distress in the
family. Friday Mr.. Quincy went to Boston with
the hope of finding his son, and if he still
board a school ship Owing to The suspension
of travel by the storm Mr.. Quincy has returned
and have not heard whether his search was
successful. The young man has doubt been
reading blood and thunder stories of the sea and
thus became infatuated with the idea Of leading
sailors life. We venture the assertion that one
voyage in ships forecastie would take all the
romance out OF that young mans head and he
would willingly exchange Il life On the rolling

Ring Rule.

Under our system of government those who
hold the public offices are the servants of the
public. But when the offices are obtained and
held by corrupt means we sometimes find these
officials setting themselves up as the masters of
the people and if their acts are criticised they
eXclaim as did Boss Tweed, 'What are you
going to do about it, or declare that they
"don't care damn for the public" The orig
nator of this Taxpayer ring designed it to
include the county of Waldo as well as the city
of Belfast, and had visions of becoming a little
down east Boss" Tweed. But to use the slang
term he bit off more than he could chew. The
county escaped the clutches of this schemer and
his allies, while Belfast become their prey, and
has remained in the tolls for four wears. Ring
rule has had its day in Belfast, however. Even
if communism and corruption should carry the
day at the coming election the end will be near
AT hand, and the fight will go on until we have
turned the rascals out. We think they will 90

CITY Mls-Government.

The revelations which are daily coming to
the surface respecting the corruption in city
governments not only in the large cities like
New York. but also in the smaller cities of the
country, should challenge the attention Of all
honest voters in Maine cities, about to choose
new city governments. The fact is obvious
that many Of the small cities, as well as most of
the large cities of the country, to-day suf
fering under the curse of jobbery. Men who
few Years ago were poor, have suddenly be
come ''forehanded" ON small salaries and the
poor public stands quietly by and is plucked.
Why? Simply because in the cities the masses
