Les cartes.

Pendant IL service divin, dams
r'eglise d. Glasgow, Richad Mid
dleton, simple soldat, au lieu de
tirer de sa poche une Bible pour y
chercher, CONNIE ses camarades,

un jeu de cartes.
Cette Grange conduite fut bien-
tot remarquee par lie ministre ct le

Ue dernier lui ordonna de serre1

duisit apres Iofice, devant lie prin-
clpal magistrat de la vile, a qui il
porta plainte de la conduite indie

-Quelle excuse, lui dit le JUICE,

vous avez DIES raisons legitimes q

yards, is to draw of all the skilled labor
from the latter by the promise of higher paw
and easier work. Let a navy yard be estab-
lished at Bath and the private shipbuilder
will soon find that he is put at a dlsadyan-
tage, because the government can pay any
wages it sees fit, as it makes little difference
whether 1t builds at profit or at a loss.
while the private builder must build at a
profit to keep his yard going. 1t is easy to
see, therefore, that while work is being done
in the government yard, the private builder
will either have to offer as high wages as the
government, which very likely will prove
ruinous, or the government will monopolize
all the best workmen.
The true policy for Bath is not to adj
vocate the establishment of navy ward
there, but to labor for the abolition of
existing navy yards or the most of them. and
the giving of contracts for building our
naval vessels to private yards. Bath has
plenty of skilled workmen, an exceedingly
favorable location, and plenty of capital, and
ina competition for government contracts
would undoubtedly frequently be the sue
cessful bidder Establish navy yard there
and soon all private yards win disappear If
navy yard stimulated shipbuilding Kttery
would be the great shipbuilding town of
Maine to-day and not Bath.

BATH AND NAVY YARD.

Congressman Boutelle's speech at the Bath
banquet Saturday night, brief as it was, con-
tanned several frozen facts which it will
be well for the Bath people to bear in mind
in determining the direction which their agi-
tation shall take. In the first place he init
mated very plainly, that whatever might be
Baths advantages as site for navy yard,
there was very little prospect of Congress
locating one there. In the second place he
pointed out that 1t was very doubtful if a
navy yard even if established there would
DC Oh any benefit. Both of those opinions
are undoubtedly well founded. We have
great many more navy yards now than we
hceo' ana IN good many of them the sound
OF tne hammer Is never heard except about
election time. Instead of increasing the
number OF its yards the government ought
10 abolish the most of those 1t now has.
The work that is done in them-with the ex-
ception OF the electioneering which ought
not to be done at all-can be done more Cheap
ly and to much better advantage in private
yards. Men employed by the government as a
rule get higher wages for less work than men
employed by private concerns or indisidu-
ais. The effect, therefore. as Mr.. Boutelle
says, of creating government shipbuilding
yard in the neighborhood of private

If the sole purpose of navy yard were to
build ships Bath would be an excellent place
for one. But navy yard nowadays exists
mostly for the purpose of carrying elections,
Bath, therefore, has no show beside of

yard can be made to operate in two States
while at Bath it could affect only one

Every day brings the story of some new
railroad enterprise. Towns are holding
meetings and voting their credit. The peo-
pie of other towns are bestirring themselves
lest their neighbors may get ahead of them.
But railroad building has not always been

gagged in 1t. Towns that are not in debt

Ion happens to see his speech he will read

The Importance Of single vote is illus
trated in the peculiar condition of affairs
now existing in New Jersey. Without the
Second Assembly district of Mercer county,
the legislature, on joint ballot, would stand
80 for a ID smocratic Senator, 40 for Repub-
lican, with one labor member whose predi-
lections are unknown. But in Mercer coun-
ty, in which is the city of Trenton, there is
an uncertainty as to who is elected. The
latest canvass showed the number of votes
for the two candidates to be equal If the
Democrat secures the seat for Mercer dis
trict as there is a prospect that he will, and
II none of several pending contests result in
changing the occupants of several, the decid-
ing vote for United States Senator will be
cast by Labor Assemblyman named Dona-
hue His main object In casting the vote
VIII be, he says, to secure for Senator the
man most pleasing to his Assembly district.
Thus, by a remarkable state of affairs, one
little Assembly district of New Jersey may
determine whether the next Senator shall be
Republican or Democrat. There are
great possibilities in the way Of one vote in
New Jersey this year, almost as great as in
Massachusetts, in 1885, when Marcus Morton
received just the one vote necessary to elect
him governor

There is considerable discomfort in Aroos-

down to New Brunswick mills where it is

this country free of duty. The forests OF
Aroostook are thinned out, while foreigners
reap the profits. The complaint is certainly
just. Whenever Maine forests must be cut

The proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton Of Wisconsin, giving to women the right
of voting on matters pertaining to the
schools, will pass, if at all, by very narrow
margin. In 45 counties, with % counties not
heard from, at last accounts, it had 1859 ma
jority. A popularity Of the voting ON this
amendment is that the Republican counties
as rule gave majcrities for woman suffrage
the Democratic counties against it, Thus
Manitowoc county, the stronghold Of Democ-
racy, stood for suffrage $50; against suffrage
2,9l0. Manitowoc county is largely German.
In Milwaukee, where the heaviest vote was
expected against it. the voters were absorbed
In the new labor revolution, and appear to
have almost entirely forgotten it. Only about
230 votes were cast in the city, all for the
amendment. With opinion in the State SO
evenly divided, the women of Wisconsin will
need, il it be time that they have acquired
the new privilege, to use it, and nse it well,
If they wish to retain it. There must be no
innocuous desuetude about the new amend
ment.

PROTECTION SENTIMENT IN THE SOUTH.
Chattanooga Times

We estimate that the ten dailies of Ten
nessee have an aggregate circulation of 35,-
600 copies. Seven of these are Protection
lists of the Randall or Republican school, and
the seven circulate about $4,000 copies daily,
600 to divide among them. The Courier
Journal, Savannah News, Charleston News
and Courier, and Galveston News are the
only free trade dailies in the South much
known beyond the limits of their States, and
we can easily name four Protectionist papers
that have wider circulation and influence
than these enjoy. The large centres of trade
and industry have not much free trade about
them, judging by their newspapers. The
cities of Richmond, Augusta, Macon. Allan
ia. Birmingham, Chattanooga, New Orleans
and Columbus have no free trade newspa-
pers that are ever seen beyond the town linn
Its. Memphis has two Protecti0nst and one
