1HE attacks made upon Bishop Pot
w ter and the Subway Tavern by
Dr. f. C. Igleharr and others at
the meeting of Methodist ministers in this
city on Monday recall the hearty
Endorsement given to Bishop Potter by
the archbishop of Canterbury upon his
recent arrival in the country.
What DR.. Iglehart calls a '1ow-down.
greasy Bowery saloon" is fairly common
in England, where the "Public-House
Trust" organized as temperance meas
ure by Lord Grey, is very successful. Uni
ted States Consul Mahin Of Nottingham
gives an interesting account of this trust
In his report to the state department
Says Mr.. Mahin:
The origin of the enterprise dates back
to 1871 when the Rev.<Ospert Mordsunt,
on his appointment to a parish in WAR
wickshire, found himself the trustee of
village inn left by a predecessor In trust
for the parish.
He decided to run the Inn according to
the "Gothenburg'' system, which, 1t is
claimed, transformed Norway from the
most drunken to the most sober country
in Europe. This experiment was followed
by others.
The successful experiments of the Peo-
pies observation-disclosures association led
Lord Grey in 1901 to form the Central rub
lic-House Trust association for the pur-
pose of inaugurating Public-House
Trust company In every county. Begin
ming with Northumberland, Kent, Dur
ham and North Yorkshire, local trusts
have now been established in every coun-
ty in England except Leicestershire. Ok
f9rdshire, Berkshire and Buckingham
shire Trusts have also been formed In
Ulster. Ireland, and in South Wales. In
Scotland a Scottish Central association
has been formed this year.
At the present time about one hundred
and fifty public houses are under trust
management.
The underlying principles of the Public
House Trust association are:
The management of the house shall be
on the lines of a house of refreshment
instead of Lar.
Food and a good variety of non-intoxi-
cant drinks shall be easily accessible to
customers.
The licensing laws shall be strictly car
ried out
A holder Of a license must study the
comfort and health Of his customers; his
house must be scrupulously clean and the
rooms comfortably arranged. well warmed
in winter and well ventilated.
The manager receives a salary. with in
ducements to push the trade In food and

In Massachusetts,.

From the New York Post.
Mr.. Richard olney has absolutely de-
clined to allow the Massachusetts DEM
ocrats to use his name for the governor
ship. Castor having refused to stand
again, the choice seems to rest between
Congressman John r. Thayer, William
L. Douglas. and Charles S. Hamlin. But
Thayer can probably be counted out.
His popularity is great, but he has ap-
parently no strong desire to make a fight
for the governorship this year. Unques-
tionably, Hamlin's nomination would be
welcomed all over the country by those
who desire to see the issues sharply
drawn in this campaign. with him in the
lead, democratic principles, as laid down
in the st. Louis platform, would be hon
estly and fearlessly discussed. AS there
is some prospect Of a sharp fight in the
republican ranks this fall over reciproci-
ty. the democrats would make no mis-
take in nominating such an expert in
tariff matters as Mr.. Hamlin.

When a man reaches the age when the

State Troops and Appropriations.

''The repeated calls for state troops to
uphold the laws and preserve the peace
will, l believe, stimulate the authorities
to more liberal appropriations for their
support" said an officer of the Ma
tional guard.
Just at this time you will observe that
troops of Alabama and of Florida are
on active duty in a practical way, and
troops of Georgia and Missippi have re-
Gently been called out. 1t is becoming

Among the speakers at the republican
