PINGREE IN NEW YORK.

Potato Pingree, who is at present directing the affairs of Michigan as it's chief executive when he isn't busy getting points on municipal affairs in Venezuela, has been making a speech in New York before the Nineteenth Century club. Here are a few ex- tracts from his copious remarks:
 T was elected by the most influ- ential people of the city. Directly af- ter I was elected, I discovered that railroads were paying less than their lawful taxes. I said so, and the rail- roads support was lost to me. I found the gas companies charging ex- orbitant rates and I said SO, thus los- ing their support.
 "I found bankers speculating with the city funds. denounced them, and they said I was unsafe. I at- tackled the surface railroads and they called me an anarchist I was four times elected mayor. I lost lot of old friends, but I was elected by a larger majority every time.
 Tt is something to be proud of when the influential classes turn their backs on me and the common people stand by me. I have come to lean on the common people. They are the real foundation of good government. It is your so-called respectable peo- pie who are the most dangerous. Their cloak of emminent respectabil- ity hides them and people will not believe you when you show them up, especially when they are church mem- bers and wear long faces.
 My experience is that those who stand foremost in the synagogue and wear long faces on Sunday and spend the rest of the week in bribing alder men and getting up stock jobb.ng schemes to defraud the widows and orphans are most dangerous members of society,"
 It is such speeches that SOW the seeds of socialism and anarchy among thoughtless people, There are plenty | of persons who are too ready to de nounce and ridicule the respectable element of society. Appeals to preju. dice have the effect of arraying class against class, the laborer against his employer, and no good citizen will in dulge in this sort of harangue. The.t is much municipal maladministratio1 1 but the character of attacks upo1 those who are interested in good gov ernment is having the effect of keep
 ing out of office the kind of men wh, should be in.

THE LONDON CONFEDERATION.

The close network of streets in the neighborhood of St. Martin's-le-grand. London, is not far from the heart of the city, Many of the streets are so narrow as barely to permit foot pas sengers to pass each other, being mere alleys with great blocks of off ces on either side. Those streets which are accessible to wagon traffic consist of vast warehouses stocked from basement to roof with valuable goods. levin street, which was in the confagration the other day, is the locality where the art printers and merchants in fancy ware have their warehouses. The money loss must be enormous.
 In the center of the city, however, the number of narrow alleys betw cen the office blocks is much greater and if the fire had occurred there 1t would have been more difficult to control. There are few residents in that part of London, beyond the watchmen and I caretakers; at night and on Sundays the whole of what is called "the city, is deserted and quiet as the grave The clumsy contrivances for fight ing fire in London contrast curiousls with the modern and swift appliances used in an American city. The de- structive fire could not have reached such proportions in one of our cities. It was forty minutes after the alarm was given before the first engine ap- peared. This is a strange comment on the antiquated and awkward fire department of the largest city in the world. The catastrophe of 1866 came near to being repeated in this in- stance, and unless some more efficient fire regulations are adopted any day may witness fire equal to the grea. fire of London.

The cheering news comes out of Ohio that the legislature will be if teen republican majority on joint bal lot, which of course means the cleo ton of Mark Hanna for United States senator, all of which is very proper. It cannot be denied that Mir Hanna was the issue in Ohio Every effort was directed against him. All of the democratic and popocratic speakers fought MT. Hanna and him alone The governorship issue was lost sight of in the fight against Hanna, and the men opposed to him gave orders to trade everything to beat Hanna. But despite all of this MT. Hanna merges from the fight all right, and the off cial count shows that he will have fifteen majority when the time comes to elect a United States senator. Be ing endorsed by the republican state convention, he will of course have the united support of the republican leg islators, and the men who refuse to vote for him may as we'll get out ot politics, for the republican party has no use for renegades.

The Boy Orator is trying to make up with Tammany, but the Tiger is not in the mood. When the Tiger needed help in the recent fight it call ed on the Boy Orator to come from the wide and woolly west and aid in putting Tammany on top, but the Boy Orator was shy. He was afraid of offending somebody He wanted tc help and he did not want to help, and he was in what the Yankees call "a split stick" Tammany having won, it is only natural that the Boy Orator with look ahead for 1900 should now begin to make up with her. The chances are that Tammany will to- tally ignore Bryan, and turn in fol young Carter Harrison of Chicago
 who, without being asked, went to the assistance of Tammany and made the Bowery howl with shouts for the Tiger. It is current story that MT
 Harrison has the presidential bee ir his bonnet, and that when the time comes he will announce himself. ir which case Tammany will turn in fol him. and the Boy Orator will go down

Among the new improvements or dered to extend the commercial ad- vantages of the Ohio valley are six big locks on the Monongahela river. Expenditures of that character are well enough in their way, but they are surely taking on a character that should lead one to class them with the heaviest outlays at our seaports where the public hitherto has always suspected that the advantages of con- gressional log rolling were most read fly discernible.

GOLD BRICKS IN BIG DEMAND

Boston, Nov. 23.-John Reed, the confidence man arrested on suspicion of being one of the gang that attempt ed to swindle a farmer last week, turns out to be the leader of a gang of the sliokesh bunco and gold brick men that have operated in this sec t1on in a long time. Evidence has been found connecting Reed and oth- CTS of the gang not yet arrested with about every big successful confidence on gold brick game worked in New England for six months past.
 Besides being one of the two men who secured $3,500 from a farmer al Bridgewater, Reed helped to swdndle farmer at Durham, N. H., out cd $6,5O0 and got $4,5OO from another in Brattleboro, Vt. In the biggest daal of all Vermont bank president gave up $10,O00 to Reed and his pals for q gold brick
 In the case of the farmers the scheme was to interest them by an. nouncing an intention to purchase 2 farm and then to either inveigle them into a game of cards or work a gold brick scheme. In the case of farmer Gage of Durham, from whom they got $6,5OO, Reed was disguised as a minel recently returned from Klondyke and the possessor of about $20,OOO worth of gold dust. Giving the supposed gold dust as security Reed borrowed $6,5O0 from Gage and got out. Ths gold dust turned out to be brass filings.

THE AMPHITRITEs PERIL.
A Keg of Blasting Powder Said tc
 Have Been Found.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 23.-News of a serious nature in connection with the United States monitor Amphitrite has just leaked out. It is stated upon the authority of an officer of the vessel which has just finished repairing at the navy yard that while she was coaling at Lambert's Point, prepara- tory to her present cruise down the coast, the coal trimmers found some thing in the bunkers which was too large for lump of coal In ves.iga- ting it, they discovered that it was keg containing twenty-five pounds Of blasting powder, probably sufic- 1ent, had it got into the fire box, to have caused an explosion of the boil CTS that would have blown the big ironclad out of the water. The keg was opened and a handful of powder placed upon the deck and ignited as a test.
 There are all kinds of theories re- garding the matter, the most plausi- ble being that the keg was carelessly left in the car at the mines and the i coal loaded on top of it. Another is that some i'll advised Cuban sympa- thizer placed it there to prevent the vessel from patrolling the shore. This l theory is generally disbelieved. The agent of the Pcoahontas Coal company denies all knowledge of the affair, but does not deny that the kes
 was found. He is at a loss to ex- plain it.
