Fish and Fishing.

1t is very odd that the newspapers will
persist in giving accounts of Sunday catches
of fish, says the Ellsworth Enterprise. THE
first of the week. sounds better.
S. E. Ogier, of Camden, last week caught
a trout in Meguntcool lake Il IL inches in
length, weighing over two pounds. being the
largest trout caught in that vicinity for a
long time.

Mr. X. I. Rankin, one OF Befasts most
ardent fishermen, has had excellent success
in Swan Lake. but last week he sought other
waters. Thursday morning at Hope he
caught three lalldloclled salmon and one
trout. The salmon averaged four pounds
each and We're Very handsome fish. As they
laid i'll l\nowltoM < Cos market beside a
deep sea salmon it would have taken a

its report of jgmnti.ts by vessels and
steamers from down the Potomac river, has

Mr.. Bracket and the Belfast Post Office.

The Journal has from time to time spoken
of the large and steadily increasing bust
ness at the Belfast post Office. The Dana
Sarsaparilla Company leads all other firms
in the amount of business, but Mr.. George
E. Bracket, Grand Secretary of the Grand
Lodge of Good Templars, has the largest in
dividual mail. Last week new record book
for registered letters was opened in the
money order department, the old one hav-
ing lasted just two years. 1t contained
record of many thousands of registered let
tiers received here during that time, almost
one-ouarter of which were for Mr. Bracket.
He receives more money through the mails
than any other person here, and has receiv-
ed very large amount during the eighteen
years he has been Grand Secretary.
A journal representative recently asked
Mr.. Bracket something about his work as
Grand Secretary. He said there We're about
;;25 lodges in the State, making the CORE
spondence heavy. The Grand Secretary has
about nine-tenths of the labor to do. "Why,
said Mr. BraclSett 81 write on an average
10000 letters yearly, which includes written
postal cards. Besides this | send out about

In return l receive about 1000 to 5000 let

paying their per capita tax frequently send

revenue from that source. | receive all the

cards, however, buy at the Belfast office.

amount relates to his private affairs,
The bookkeeping for a society numbering
;325 lodges and 10000 members is consider
able. The name of each lodge is written in
a large book, and debit and credit kept
with it. As the terms are by quarters, new
entries OF lodges have to be made every
three months. Mr.. Bracket receives some
assistance from Mrs. Bracket, who thor
uughly understands the business. Mr.. Brack-
EFT has been secretary so long he has the
matter systematized and we'll in hand. The
compensation, however, $500 per year, is
not large enough for the amount of labor
rendered and the responsibility belonging
to the office

The Wheelmen's Meet.

The Bangor Wheelmen have made prep
arations for the annual league meet in that
city May 3oth. The program was published
in the Journal last week. Arrangements
have been made with the hotels, steamboats,
and railway companies.
The Belfast wheelmen will go to Burnham
Saturday afternoon and take the Sunday
morning special train from Portland.
The Grand Army men of Bangor protest
against the wheelmen meeting on Memorial
day, and B. H. Beal Post has passed the fol-
lowing resolutions
Whereas, The League of American Wheel
men have announced that they are to hold a
meeting in this city on Memorial Day, and
Whereas, They are a body of men for
whom we entertain only the kindest feel
ings.
Resolved, That we in common with all
good citizens, most earnestly protest against
the Dissertation of the one day set apart for
all Union loving people to do honor to those
brave men who gave to the country all that
they had to give, their lives and that we in
wife all the community to join with us in the
fitting observance of Memorial Day.
To this the wheelmen say
That while the idea that the observance of
Memorial Day should be wholly solemn is
unuuestoned, it is an evident fact that it can
never be so carried out. Neither can the
people be made to devote Fast Day eXclus-
lively to fasting and prayer, or Thanksgiving
to the sole purposes for which it is appoint
ed. They will always be looked upon as
holidays, upon which the hard working peo-
pie have release from their daily routine of
arduous duties and may also have a little en-
joyment. Certainly the holidays in Maine
are few enough, anyway. Memorial Day is
the only day when the wheelman of Maine
can meet. The organization is composed of
representatives of the finest class of young
men in every city, who may be relied upon
to conduct themselves with the utmost pro-
priety and interfere in manner with the
observance Of the day by the comrades of the
Grand Army. Bangor is the only city where
an objection to their gathering was ever
raised.
Last year the annual meet was held in
Belfast on Memorial Day. During the exer-
cises of the Grand Army all wheels We're or
dered off the streets by the wheelmen them
selves, while many of the visitors joined the
ranks of the citizens and participated in the
memorial exercises. The wheelmen's parade
was so arranged as not to interfere with the
Grand Army and the boys conducted them
selves with the utmost decorum. There was
no friction here between the two organiza-
tions.

Thanks to the efforts of Senator FRYE.
the bill to abolish compulsory pilotage
fees is half way through Congress- Whetll-

Its passage by that body is doubtful. how

customary for the large sailing vessels in
the coasting trade to take tug in enter
ing and leaving harboIs. These tugs are
required by law to have on board compe-
tent United States pilots, but the vessel
which employs them has to pay the State
pilotage charges iust the same. Accord
ing to the Frye bill the masters and mates
of coastwise sailing vessels are enabled
upon examinations to be licensed as United
States pilots, and thus freed from liability
to the State tax The same privilege was
long ago extended to coastwise steamers

The Two Peoples Parties.

The European sensation last week was
a speech by Lord Salisbury in which he
declared for free trade While some of
the leading London dailies sharply criti-
else his utterances, it is evident that the
speech finds much favor with the masses
of the English people. and it looks as
though it might be the forerunner of Il
revolution. The Boston journal has thus
summarized Lord Salisbury's remarks on
free trade:
First-That after fifty years free trade
has failed to conquer the world.
Sec"nd-That protection is rapidly eX-
tending.
Third That Great Britain has stripped
herself ol the armor and weapons with
which commercial battles must he fought
Fourtll-That adherence t" free trade
may be noble, but it is not business

for England to sustain herself in the con
tiict of tariffs.
