Many OF the readers Of the CAPITAL viii
read the following from the Somerset Her
aid Judge Irving home. one OF the associ-
ate judges of the Court of Appeals Bench.
and so well and favorabIy known here,
with considerable interest:
Some days ago Judge GoldsboTough.
of Cambridge. wrote To Judge Irving,
asking his opinion on some points OF law.
Judge Irving Immediately went 10 his
desk and wrote an elaborate reply. just
at this peint the Judge had some slight
interruption. and when he took up the
matter again, few moments after. he
placed his reply in pigeon hole OF his
desk, aud placing Judge Goldsbors " sh 5
letter in an envelope addressed it to that
gentleman. You may imagine Judge
Goldshorough's surprise on opening an
envelope postmarked Princess Anne TO
find the identical letter he wrote 10 Judge
Irving. A vein of humor seized Judge
Goldsborough on receiving his own letter.
and taking his pen he wrote as follows:
MY Dear Irving Sorry You have been
drunk; hope you are better now. Yours, &c,
GoLDsBoRoUGH.'
This note was inclosed in an envelope
with the same letter Of inquiry and for
warded 10 Judge Irving, who, on receiv-
ing it. laughed till the tears flied his eyes.
Judge Irving is noble exponent of So
briefly, and that fact is what makes the
joke capital one.

BAY RIDGE.
Another Big Crowd to Witness the Ply,
rotecanic Battles.


The grounds of Bay Ridge were literal
~ alive with people yesterday, being the
second day of Prof. Thayer's grand pyro-
techic display of the naval engagement
between the "Merrimac" and Monitor -
1t is estimated that there were over 600
people who witnessed this display last
night-over 200 going from Annapolis.
The trains from Baltimore and Washing
ton were crowded both morning and even
ing, to say nothing of the $500 that went
by way of the steamer Columbia The
dancing pavilion. the gravity road, the
merry go round and all the "amusements"
were crowded Eighty walters were busy
every moment in the day feeding the null
titude. The great attraction was the dis
play Of fireworks, the pyrorama of the
Monitor Merrimac battle. AT 100 the
large open field was filled by thousands
who cheered Justify at the brilliant dis
play. If II were possible the performance
was an improvement on that of Tuesday
night. There was a perpetual shower OF
fire for three quarters of an hour. The
mechanism was perfect and the Con
gress" and Cumberland" moved around
like "a thing of life, without hitch. -
One Of the most interesting features of the
fireworks are the tmaroons. which ex-
plode high IN the air with a terrific concus-
sion. These maroons are no larger than
an ordinary fire cracker, but they cost S.
piece and are, a chemical production of
Prof. Thayers.
When the "Merrimac" steamed out,
amid the strains of Dixie there prov
ed to be q great deal Of Southern
sentiment in the crowd, for The Bonnie
Blue Flag that Bears Single Star was
loudly applauded. New varieties of py-
rotechnics were introduced. The crowd
was lost In admiration and could say
nothing but Abr The appearance Of
the Monitor amid Hold the Fort
was greeted with loud hurrahs; and when
after terrific conflict of colored fire balls
the "Merrimac" was enveloped in red fire
and the Monitor" steamed around TO
the tune of Yankee Doodle" the crowd
shouted. So successful has the venture
proven and so satisfied is the management
that tho pyroIama will remain at Bay
Ridge all next week.

A Warming to Democrats.

There is a suspicion that a movement is
being inaugurated among protection Demo
Gratis t. defea. the re omination of Mr. Cleve-
land. As yet it rests upon nothing tangible.
1T is based wholly upon the course that IS
being pursued by the protection Democrats,
and the few newspapers which advocate
Mr.. Randalps plan for reducing the reve-
nues.
1t IS generally admitted that the conven-
ton will he almost unanimously in favor Of
Mr.. Cleveland denomination. How then is
it possible to defeat it, 1t can be
done in only one way, and that
way is TO make it impossible for
Mr.. Cleveland to accept a denomination. But
how can that be douel BY adopting plat
form upon which he cannot consistently
stand. But if the people favor his renomi-
nation, how can platform be adopted
which will be inconsistent with his record,
and upon which he cannot accent the nomi-
nation without stuldfying himself! To
secure the adoption Of such q platform
would be a pretty difficult thing to do, but
it can be done if the people are not watch
full of their interests.
Those in the Democratic party who do
not like Mr.. Clev.l land are the politicians
and the protectionists. They are active and
agg essive, and are pretty certain to be on
hand in their full strength when the con-
ventions in the different States meet to
select delegates to the national convention.
Ii II IS their purpose 10 try to defeat Mr.
Cleveland's denomination they will endeavor
6alncr0tas Ih yVb M lynnNy1 n
be in favor Of a repeal OF the internal reve-
nue. laws, and if they don't succeed in get
ting such delegates as they want they will
endeavOr TO have the delegates instructed to
favor platform committing the party to
repeal of those laws Between now and
the meeting of the State conventions, and
even after the meeting of those conventions
and before the meeting of the national CON
vention, they will continue their attacks
hope of influencing public opinion against
it, and securing u national convention that
will commit the party against it,
If platform is ad pied that virtually
condemns Mr. Clevelan's tariff message, it
is pretty certain that he will not accept the
nomination, even if it were unanimously
offered to him. He could not accept it and
be consistent, and to he Inconsistent
upon so important matter would insure
his defeat. There would be nothing left for
HIM TO do but to decline and that undoubt-
eddy is what he would do.
If the movement which is suspected, really
exists, there is chance for it to succeed. if
the Democratic masses are apathetic in the
matter of selecting delegates to the national
convention. If they are alive to their in
terests, However, there will be no difficulty
IN defeating it, because mne-tenths of the
Democrats want Mr.. Cleveland renomi
mated, and if the tariff is not reduced during
the present session of Congress, they want
a platform favorng its reduction adopted

Written by the President in an Album.
From the P,ttsb1,rg Press.


A lady went to the White House recently TO
obtain the Presidents autograph Handing
Mr. Pruden, the executive clerk, a bright clean
sheet of tinted note paper, with ter monogram
upon il, she requested that gentleman to ask
Mr. Cleveland to il scribe lis name thereon. Mr..
Pruden, always Ohliging, went to the President s
private Office to secure the favor for the lady
Returning in few moments he said:
'Ghp President sends his compliments, and
says that if you viii bring your autograph
album he viii be glad to write his name in il,
hut he never puts his signature upon a blank
sheet of paper"
he lazy was rather taken aback, but. thank
ing Mr.. Pruden for his kindness. returned home
TO bring her album The book beng a trihe
dingy in appearance, and also quite full OF auto
graphs, she determined to purcha Z a new one.
and have the Pre- identS signature TO start It, -
Proceeding to BallantYne's book store on the
avenue, SIZE bought Il new and handsome album.
and repaired TO the White House, arriving there
within twenty minutes from the time she had
left. Mr.. Pruden, smiling, took the book and
repaired to the President 70 obtain his autogra
for the perseveripg lady. Returning he gave
the book to the lady who. thanking him left
for Der home. Upon arriving there. she opened
the album to gaze on the valued inscription and
found the following:

to be one of my worst callers. Shed come in

hours and go out without buying a cent S

GLOW did you cure her?''
"Well, spoke to her in an off-hand way one
day and she fired up and said that as long as
kept clerks it was my business to be bothered.
Next day selected ten of the girl clerks, posted
EN- as to what to say and they rung her door
bell at intervals Of an hour all day and inquire
is she wanted a nurse girl. She didn't, and told
them so pleasantly enough until the tenth one
came. Then she said:
ia like to know why on earth all you girls
come here botherng me when don't want TO
hire?'
because, ma'am, so long as you keep ser
wants it Is your business to be bothered, was
the prompt reply.
Il think she reasoned out the analogy, for she
now sits down and buys what she wants, and
every clerk likes to wait on her.

Tho Rrotherhood,s Strike

The interview published In our dispatches
yesterday with Mr.. Arthur, the Chief of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
leaves the impression that the control of
the great strike that was inauguratsd on
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail
road has passed out of his hands. If this
impression is incorrect then he has ceased
to be the frank, conservative leader that he
has always had the reputation of
being, and is as radical
and reckless when he has
a point to gain as any one Of the labor lead
ers who have lately figured prominently in
labor troubles. 1t is not fair, however, to
condemn him hastily. His own statement
is that he had no part in bringing about
strike ON the Santa Fe road, and it must be
accented until it is authoritatively contra
dicted.
The strike is assuming alarming proper
tions, and threatens to paralyze the bust
ness of a large portion of the country. 1t
is reported that strikes are to occur on
other roads, at the rate of one a day, uatil
the managers of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincey are forced to accede to the de
liullNH vi the StI4heiS' lilo nope is UndU the
threatened roads will bring such a pressure
on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy in
favor of a settlement of its trouble that
it will make the concessions which the
striking engineers demand of it. This hope
may prove to be false one, for the reason
that that road has now enough engineers
and firemen to run the greater portion of
its trains with reasonable regularity and
promptness.
The course which the Brotherhood is pur-
suing appears to be an arbitrary and unjust
exercise of its power. II what
the management of the Santl
Fe road says is true, its
engineers have no cause whatever for com
plant. People who have no connection
with the original quarrel, and are in no
way responsible TO-. it, are being made to
suffer heavy pecuniary loss. This is not
right, and the continuance of the policy
which the Brotherhood is pursuing will
aherate from ii whatever public sympathy
it may now have.
1t is becoming more and more apparent
that some method will have to I've adopted
for setting labor troubles that vii, prevent
injury to great interests. If the principals
refuse to arbitrate their differences, power
must be- lodged somewhere to compel an ar
bitration. There are indications that Con-
gress is beginning to entertain this view of
the matter.
