early hour in the morning. Of course
this has been sufficient to discredit him
in the eyes of The Queen City, the
early hour at which the imbibing
occurred constituting an objectionable
violation OF custom. The investigation
of his charge is yet to be made, however,
and as it progresses we shall try and keep
our readers informed of the develop
ments.
We have given this brief outline of
events up to date, partly on account of
their intrinsic interest and Importance,
but more especially because this
episode suggests a practical way of
reforming our cities. 1t is always UNI
pleasant, and sometimes decidedly dan
gerous, for newspaper to undertake to
reform the particular place in which it is
situated. The wicked men whom it is
may be necessary to mention in the
course of its reform essays are some
times not pleased Herewith and
are occasionally moved to call round
dllu lfdh0 IlloHiaBlNCS alStSl OodDiC.
But if the reform work is begun
in a city some hundreds of miles
distant from the place of the reform or
gan this danger is reduced to a mini
num- Nothing worse than the sound of
imprecating voices is then likely to be
experienced. As it becomes safer
reform work of this sort will
become more popular with the
result that more of it will be done.
The organs of each city will set to work
exposing the shortcomings of some other
city and the other cities will return the
compliment. Lewiston having reformed
Bangor, Bangor will turn about and re-
form Lewiston; Augusta will reform
Bath and Bath Augusta, and SO on until
all the rottenness in the various munich
palites is exposed and extirpated. And
all the reformation will be accomplished
without any reformer being exposed to
the charge of disloyalty to his own burgh.
In the course of time it may happen that
our cities will be SO purified by this pro-
cess that it will not be possible to procure
even Uno beer in Bangor, and that "gas
house patch in Lewiston will be as quiet
and serene as a Saturday night Etalk. !"
Speed the day!

We presume that the compliments
that our esteemed Lewiston and Bangor
contemporaries are paying one another
are to be taken in Pickwickian sense.
At least we hope such is the case, for if
the vigorous Anglo-Saxon they are both
indulging in is not susceptible of modii-
cation by the famous Pickwickian rule
of Interpretation there is likely to be
blood on the moon in the very near fu-
ture.
The bone of contention which has
thrown these highly respectable and Wig
orous journals into such a feverish con-
dition of mind is the moral condition of
the Queen City of the East. The esteemed
Lewiston contemporary, which may be
considered the party of the first part in
asmuch as it initiated the controversy
which is now raging, recently alleged
through the medium of correspondence
that the legally constituted guardians of
the public morals in the Queen City,
were not altogether what such guardians
should be, and that through the instru-
mentality of something mysteriously
described as ''pull'' certain bad men
were allowed to play poker within the
precincts of the Queen City with impuni-
ty. There were some other allegations
but this appears to have been the most
shocking of the lot Of course there
was great commotion when the news
reached the banks of the Penobscot that
there were ''pulls'' and "poker'' In that
region, and that they stalked
around at noon day. An investi-
CATION was Immediately demanded
with two-fold object; first to discover
the proprietors of the pulls and
poker if any such things were about,
and second, if none were found, to dis
cover the author of the wicked fabrica-
tons an provide means for his condign
punishment. Meanwhile the esteemed
newspapers of the city began an investi-
CATION on their own aceout, not SO much
Of the charges as of the author of them.
This investigation is not entirely com
pleted, but it has already disclosed the
shocking fact that the author of the
charge has been known to imbibe inordi-
nate quantities OF corn juice at a very

''Where there were no parochial schools
it was the wish of the Holy Father that
the children of Catholic parents should
attend the public schools and receive
their religious teaching at home. Where
there were parochial schools, the church
preferred that the children should at
tend them, though no eompulsion was
sought to be exercised
These are the reputed words of Arch
bishop Satolli, the papal ablegate now in
this country, and the Archbishop
afirms that they accurately repre-
sent the views of the Pope as orally COM
municated to him for the express pur
pose of making them known to the
Catholic clergy and laity in the
country. They are far more liberal than
have been the views of the priesthood in
the United States as expressed on this
subject. They are an endorsement of
the views of Archbishop Ireland, the au-
thor of the Fai ibault experiment, an ex-
pertinent which encountered the almost
unanimous opposition of the Catholic
priesthood in this country. The attitude
of the governing body of the Romish
church in the United States has been one
of unqualified hostility to the public
schools, which they have denounced as
irreligious and ungodly. If the Pope's
views are correctly reported, they will
now have to take new departure-one
more agreeable, we imagine, to the laity
and more in accordance with the spirit
of the people in general.

WASHOUT AT ADA.
Eighty Feet of Track Suspended in the

The heavy rainstorm of yesterday
afternoon caused bad washout on the
D., G.. H. b NJ. tracks at Ada.
The culverts in the yards at that
place proved to be Of insufficient Ca
pacity TO carry OF the water which ran
in streams down the large hills that lie
south of the track near the Ada depot.
The washout 10 the worst that has
taken place on that road for q number
of years. A stretch of track eighty
feet long was left suspended twenty.
five feet high.
The west bound passenger train was
tagged and its passengers transferred
to train No. IL, which was cent from

additional help necessary to repair the
breach. A large gang of section men

thought that traffic can be resumed to-
day. 1t is impossible to ascertain what
the loss TO the company will DO, but it
must necessarily be considerable.
There were, At the time of the acct
dent, several cars of ties sidetracked at
Ada, and this will considerably lessen
the time used to repair the break.
Until the repairs are completed pas
sengers will be transferred TO relief

for an inferior system Of lighting. HIS
practical and theoretical knowledge of
electricity and electrical measurements
have made him an authority On
the subject II ten amperes of cur
rent and fifty volts of electro-motlve
force are necessary to produce the
standard efficiency in an ordinary
street lamp, and If the lamps 1T present
are operated with s.s amperes of cur
rent and only about thirty-fivs volts of
slsctro-motive force, II is evident tina,
ths city Is paying for light that

potential required, the mere horse
power must be produced; and the more
horse power produced, the greater the
expense of producing 1t. Consequently
any reduction of voltage must lessen
the cost OF operating the lamps, and
proportonatsly increase the dividends
Of the Grand Rapids Electric Light &
Power company. II is evident that five
sighsh&inch CARTONS are used rather
than nalf-ineh. although the Brush
company frankly admits that TIE
double carbon lamps furnish the only
