What anybody else has done or not
nothing to do with the case. Can our
neighbor meet straightforward
question with straightforward
answer for. once in the course of its
life?
By the way, there is another ques-
ton, propounded by The Herald,
which the Tribune has failed to
answer. 1t is this:
Our neighbor has stated several
times that on two occasions a Repub-
lican Senate passed a free silver coin
age bill which a Democratic House re-
fused to endorse. We ask for bill
Of particulars. We want to know who
introduced the bills referred to, when
they were passed by the Senate and
when rejected. We desire that all
the facts in relation to the matter
shall be brought forward so that the
blame may rest where it belongs,
whether upon Democrats or Repub-
licans or both.
Our contemporary should take to it.
self its own remark that: when a
newspaper tries to make point
through an unfair statement of the
real situation it generally fails. In the
newspaper it is as it is in the business
world when the attempt is made to
obtain property under false pre-
lenses"
We are sorry to say that it is the
usual method in use by our neighbor
down the street, particularly when it
finds itself in a corner. We would like
reply to the two questions referred
to above, and suggest once more
that they cannot be answered by a lot
of other questions irrelevant to the
subjects on which information is de-
sired

A NON-PARTISAl. FIRE AND POLICE
BOARD.

There must be something rotten in
Denmark. Since the enactment of the
non-partisan bill, the fire and police
departments have been stirred I'D
with dissensior. There have been
charges and counter charges, some
public, many private. Investigations
have followed in rapid succession. The
public is nauseatej, eisgusted, and
looks to the noa partisan board &c
spare no man or men in cleaning out
these Augean stables of insubordina-
ton The safety of the city from dis
order and fire is of Importance far
beyond the retention of any man. In
any case the public should have the
benefit of the doubt. There are many
men willings ard competent If we
cannot have peace without severe
measures. ei-c US severe measures.
We desire 20 whisper into the ears
of the departments the fact tia. if
you appreciate your positions and de-
sire the law 10 remain practically I'M
changed, you must stop this pickering
and pull together for the public veal.
We fear the law is inherently weak.
The men are encouraged to insubor-
dination by the fact that there is no
power to dismiss them without a
tedious trial. Chiefs may hold their
positions despite Incompetence until
unanimous board sLa1 decree their
dismissal. The law may be sound, but
SIS operation has been q failure.

which have been so natural to our
neighbor in the past.
When we offer an argument which
the Tribune finds unable to meet,
what can be prettier and neater and
more logical than to call The Herald a
"Chatterer.' 1t is just as convenient
and as full of reason as the more vio-
lent and abusive terms which come
so readily to the lip and the pen of
our elegant and erudite contemporary.
Let it be "Chatterer' by all means,
if that so pleases our neighbor. The
Herald is pleased to encourage the
least sign of improvement in that
quarter.

SHADOWS CAST BEFORE.
The Steamer Service Anticipated by
Shippers.

Car Loads of "Culls'' to Be Sent Back to
Berlfn-Western Flour Now Coming
In.
At the Grand Trunk freight sheds the
work of getting ready for the coming
steamers is progressing we'll. The ele-
vator is nearly completed and some
freight, notably loose grains aud peas
are coming in rapidly. Within the next
few days much will have to be done.
Some freight other than grains in bulk
is already here. There is big pile of
-four in sacks in one of the sheds, a pro-
duct of the mills of Minneapolis, and
flour in barrels, gilt edged article from
Hamilton, Ohio.
There is still some work to be done be-
fore the sheds will be ready to receive
the outward bound freight. The larger
portion of one of the big buildings is
still taken up by molasses in barrels,
consigned to Canadian parties by N. W.
Taussig OF New York, through William
6. Soule of Portland This freight will
be sent to Montreal as distributing
oSfipol, uAu WILL &O up ofOI tiO oloiAu
Trunk.
Then the "culls' from the great mass
of spool timber brought here from the
John Bennett mills at Berlin Falls, is to
be sent back to be worked up into small
spools. Mr.. Bennett annually loads a
number of steamers at this port for Scot
land, the work being done shortly after
the close of the regular steamer service
The stock is closely gone over at the
mills, but despite all possible care, there
now and then slightly imperfect piece
will slip in, or it may happen that a
piece will become slightly warped, and
SO will be thrown out. About five car
loads of these "culls'' will be taken back
to Mr. Benefits mills, and the work of
loading the cars is now in progress.
1t cannot yet be stated as an assured
fact but it is believed that the Allan and
Dominion lines will not have monopoly
of the business at this port, but that the
Donaldson and Beaver line boats will
touch here. 1t promises to be very busy

OLD SCHOONER CHASE.
She Rurst Into Flames While Going Out of
the Harbor Monday Morning.

The old schooner NJ M. SChase, built in
Bath in 1877, formerly owned by Edward
H. Chase of this city, and now owned by
w II. Holmes of Eastport, met with
ca1amitous misbap in this harbor Monday
morning. CAPTAIN James Kinds is
master. and the schooner was bound from
Eastport to New York with cargo of
21o0 cases of sardines, 900 herring and
considerable number of bloaters.
CAPTAIN Kinds says that when he
awoke Monday morning the wasa nearly
suffocated with smoke, but thought that
if came from his stove. The schooner
had been lying in this harbor since
October 20, when she came in here for
shelter.
Captain Kinds early got underway, and
stood on the wind until he got to Bug
light. Then he squared away to run out
of the harbor before the wind. Then the
flames burst out the hatchway. Captain
Kinds made as quickly as possible for the
western shore of Cushings island, and
beached the schooner off the Willows. She
was saen moving towards that point with
flames blazing up from her at about
M. by people living on the Cape. At
about 7. 45 the tug boats Fanny q. and
James Sampson went to the burning
vessels assistance and somewhat subdlied
the fire with their pumps. At about y a.
m. the fire boat arrived and went to
work, whereupon Captain Dodge OF the
tug Sampson, at the request OF Captain
Holmes of the NJ NJ. Chase, came up to
the city to wire the owners for instruc-
tons.
Captain Kinds says there is no lnsur-
ance on the vessele. United States Board
ing Officer Tobie, and the barge Office
crew visited the vessel, to ascertain
whether her cargo was foreign or
domestic, and TO und it the latter.
The fireboat used her hose and the
monitor tube, and filed the vessel with
water. But she heeled over so when the
tide went out that the freboat could not
reach part under the deck where the
flames worked destruction.
Captain Goud left about 5p. m. He
said the schooner was spoiled; but he
Thought about two-thirds of the cargo
could be saved. Tt is thought the cargo
is insured.
The crew of the Chase were James
Kinds. captain; Henry Farrow, VIM.
