PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

The Montefiore memorial prize at
Girton College, Cambridge, was won
this year by Miss Edith Emily Reed. 1t
is the years income from a permanent
fund and is worth about 1920.
Stanley has become so angered by the
fippant illusions in the American news
papers to his late canvass that he de-
clares he will never set foot in the
United States again.
Notwithstanding the intense hot
weather the condition of MI. George
William Curtis shows slight signs of i'm
provement and returning strength.
One of the largest ranches in the world
is owned by a woman, Mrs. Richard King
1t lies about forty-five miles south of
Corpus Christi, Texas, and contains 700,-
600 acres.
Senator Quay has purchased what is
known as the Matthew Stanley Farm,
four miles north of Coatesville, Penn.
The Senator passed his boyhood days
upon this farm, being nephew of Mat
thew Stanley, after whom he was named.
The farm contains 1870 acres, and the
price paid was $4,000.
Application will soon be made to the
government to protect herd of wild
camels that roam over the desolate
country in Arizona between Yuma and
-Ehrenberg and Wickenberg and the
Colorado river. The original wild camels
were brought to the far West during the
civil war to transport supplies across the
desert.
Lord Salisbury, the British prime
minister, has never once visited the
queen at Balmoral since June, 1880 when
he went there after Mr. Gladstone's
resignation to kiss her majesty's hand
on being appointed prime minister.
Lord Beaconsfield had similar dislike
of Balmoral, which he visited but once
during his tenure of office.
Castle Garden, New York, well known

shape of large pools or ponds for sharks
and other large. dangerous fish. 1t is
expected that the aquarium will be ready
in the fall.

Mr.. Thomas Watson has presented all
the evidence he has to sustain his charge
that drunken men have been Keeling
down the aisles of the House this session,
and that drunken speakers have debated
grave issues on the floor, and it makes a
very poor showing. Mr.. Watson, when
put on the witness stand does not pre-
tend to know of but one case of drunk
enness, and in this case if the member
was under the influence of liquor when
Mr.. Watson pronounced him drunk, he
was under its influence to so slight an
extent that other members of the House,
whose opportunities for observation were
as good as Mr. Watson's did not detect
it. But assuming that. this man was as
drunk as Mr. Watson alleges, it furnishes
very small foundation for the wholesale
charge which is made in his campaign
book. Evidently when Watson dropped
into the Peoples Party he found con-
genial home. To large extent the lead
ers of that concern are made up of ire
sponsible shouters and calamity proph-
cts. and Watson evidently has all the
needed qualifications to shine among
them.

One of the most impudent perform
ances of the filibustering minority of the
House is their offer Of compromise by
reducing the appropriation for the
Worlds Fair to s2,5OO,OO0 They have
',een claiming all along that they were
losing the appropriation on principle
scause it was unconstitutional OF
suse it was attached to an appropria-
n bill. If 81, 100000 appropriation
unconstitutional. S2,5O0,000 appro-
oriation is no less so. Their offer of
compromise negatives all their talk about
,rinciple and shows that their opposi-
n is founded on something entirely
ferent. SO much of it as comes from
W York is due probably to the fact
1T Chicago got the fair instead of New
,rk. The rest of it comes from no

BETTER LET HIM STAY.

The Biddeford Journal is making a
vigorous contest against the confrma-
ton of Mr.. Chadbourne as member of
the board of railroad commissioners. 1t
says that he is already member of the
state board of assessors and if he is con-
firmed for this position it will involve
the appointment of another Democrat to
take his place as a state assessor, thus
giving the Democrats two of the most
desirable positions under the state gov
eminent. Moreover the Journal does
not think that the Biddeford Democracy
is of character to warrant this recog
milton. AS MI. Chadbourne is. very well
located at the present time and as he is
now familiar with his duties, which are
of a responsible nature, it would cer-

tainly seem to be the part of good policy
to let him remain.
THE APPLl CATION OF IT.


In the debate on the Worlds Fair bill
in the House yesterday, Mr.. Cummings
likened ex- Speaker Reed to Marat-not
Murat, the great cavalryman, but Marat,
the French terrorist. The only fitness in
the application is that "a reign Of ter
ror'' takes possession of the Democrats
every time Mr.. Reed gets ON his feet.

1t is a little difficult to see what the
Homestead strikers expect to make by
swearing out warrants for conspiracy
and murder against the officers of the
Carnegie Company. There is not the
slightest evidence to convict them Of
either crime, so far as has appeared.
The Pinkerton men were brought to the
Carnegie works for watchmen and had
they not been interfered with there would
have been no shooting. All the evidence
goes to show that they were fired on
first, and only returned the fire in self
defence. The thing that the Carnegie
managers desired to avoid above all
things was disorder and riot, because
disorder and riot would be sure to
brighten away the non-union men who
might otherwise apply for work. Had
they apprehended that such would have
been the result of the coming of the
Pinkerton men they would never have
brought them there. The assumption
that they were taken there to attack
the strikers or to precipitate riot is alb
surd. We think the Carnegie managers
were blind in not foreseing that the
presence of the Pinkertons might bring
the state Of affairs thatit did and for their
short sightedness they are blamable,
but we do not see how the legality of the
bringing Of those men for the purpose
for which they were brought can be
called in question. 1t was a mistake on
the part of the managers for which they
are perhaps morally culpable, but they
were guilty of no legal offence, and can
not be held before the courts for the con-
sequences. 1t looks as it this last move
of the strikers was made without any in
telligent consideration, especially SO as
their counsel who have managed their
side of the case from the beginning, and
who have apparently been loyal to their
cause, opposed it.

The only purpose OF the agitation
about the so-called force bill'' is to turn
public attention away from the Demo
cratic position fon the tariff. Ii the
Democrats in the manufacturing states
of the North could get the tariff out of
sight and the position Of their party in
regard to it could be obscured they would
be exceedingly happy. But their at
tempt to change the issue is not going to
succeed. Republicans have no objection
to meeting the issue of free ballot and
fair count which is raised by the force
bill'' but they do not mean that the
tariff issue shall be obscured. They do
not intend that the people shall forget
that the National Democratic Convention
voted down by large majority resolu-
ton declaring that
When custom taxation is levied upon articles
of any kind produced in this country. the diff.
ference between the cost of labor here and
labor abroad fully measures any possible
benefit to labor.
and refused to recognize this difference
in favor of the American worlsingman.
Nor do they propose to allow it to be OBJ
scured that the --(ational Democratic Con
vention also struck out a declaration
That in making reduction in taxes tits not
proposed to injure any domestic industry
leaving it to be inferred that in future
revisions of the tariff the Democratic
party would pay no regard to domestic
industries. No amount of shouting about
force bills will be allowed to obscure
these things. The Democratic party
are to be held up to their declarations of
policy made at Chicago. They are to be
compelled to defend them or to acknowl-
edge that they are indefensible.

none, and it is to be hoped that the ma
jority will stick by the bill and compel a
vote on it if Congress has to be kept in

No wonder the Republicans are afraid of the

No wonder the Republicans are afraid of the
Force bill issue. 1t is a measure that admits of
no defense. and they know it.-Argus.
The so-ealled force bill was measure
to secure free ballot and fair count in
every State in the Union at national cleo
tons, and the reason the Democratic
party opposed it was because they feared
that it would accomplish that result.
With a free ballot and fair count in
every State Cleveland would stand no
chance whatever of being elected Presi-
dent. On free ballot and fair count
it would be as useless for the Democrats
to attempt to carry the country as to
elect their ticket in Vermont. The
force bill had no force in it. 1t was a
fair measure to ensure an honest election
in all the States. That is why the Demo
Gratis opposed it. That is why the Argus
opposes it, Pretending to fear that the
constitutional amendment proposed in
Maine will disfranchise many worthy
people, and opposing it on that ground
it calmly looks on while thousands and
tens of thousands of voters are kept
away from the ballot box in the South by
intimidation. It has not word of re-
buke OF tisapproval for that, though it
grows quite maudlin when it contem-
plates the danger that some illiterate but
worthy citizen of Maine may be deprived
of a voice in the government by the pro-
posed educational amendment. And the
Argus has much to say about hypocrisy!
