Tho Annual Picnic of tSic RoadT Hellcf AKanciatiom The second annual picnio of the Ready Relief Association was held yesterday afternoon and evening in Enler's Washington Park. It was, undoubtedly, the affair of tho season in that plce thus far, and such an assemblage has seldom been Been on the grounds. At night myriads of Chinese lanterns lent a oharm to tho scone, and an excellent orchestra, assisted materially in enlivening tho fostivities. None of the usual scenos at ft picnic was missing, and the various amusements came in for a liberal Bhare of patronage.

Dancing was inaugurated at 4 o'clock, aud whon the last number had boon played and the loader of the oroheBtra shouted "Last stop, all out," tho members of tho association, all employes of tho Brooklyn Elevated Bailroad, for once were sorry that the trip was ended and expressed their hopes that next season the road would bo several stations longer.

tion has raised the standard of prison management and made it a difficult matter for the Charities Commissioners to select a warden whose record will equal that of the retiring official. The Fourth of July festivities have begun iu their usual spirited form, although the holiday is nearly a fortnight distant. Up to date seven people have been killed, three or four scorched and wounded and over $100, 000 worth of property has been reduced to aBhes on the altar of infantile patriotism. And the Fourth is yet to come Thieving of all kinds is mean, but the meanest robber of all is the one who waits ntil his intended victim is dead before he makes an assault on his property. The burglar exhibits some bravery, because he stands a chance of getting a bullet through his head when he enters a house, but the thief that goes to law to get what was never intended for him, after the owner of the property that he wants is in his grave and cannot help him Helf, ia a coward.

It is getting to that pass that wills might us well be left unwritten. Mayor Chapin, who recently moved into his new home on Eighth avenue, near Prospect Park) will have a distinguished neighbor in Mr. "Snapper" Garrison, the jockey, who has bought one of the adjoiuing houses. If neighborly association counts for anything, our esteemed Mayor is now pretty sure to become imbued with tho true sporting spirit. That ought to help his political aspirations, for he is already understood to be "solid" with that eminently respectable olement of the community to whom the race track is the embodiment of everything wicked.

In sentencing man convicted of blackmail, Judge Moore yesterday took occasion to comment on the character of the crime and said that "tho cowhide, applied twice a week for six weeks or eight weeks" would be an appropriate puuishment. This language may appear somewhat extravagant as emanating from the bench, but there can be no doubt that there is a foundation of justice to it, particularly as everyone is agreed that blackmail is an especially mean offense. Tho one point we desire to mako is that the bench does its full duty when it administers the law as found in the statute books. Emphatically it is not the business of a judge either to fall short, or go beyond that point. While Eepublican politicians are struggling over the offices, us though maintenance at the expense of the taxpayers was the sum total of human ambition, they have supplemented tho obnoxious exhibition by an astonishing display of impecuniosity.

A party of moral ideas," through its accredited representatives, refuses to discharge its jnst obligations. Only the other day tho Democratic General Committee performed a decent and graceful act by subscribing .500 for the sufferers by the Conemaugh flood. Instead of following this praiseworthy example the machine Bepublioans have gone to the other extreme by refusing to compensate the custodian of their headquarters. The performance is entirely in line with tho farce which has gone by the name of Republican "management" here in recent years. When Garfield and Arthur were elected tho General Committee plunged up to its ears in debt.

No other cause contributed more effectually to the defeat of Mr. Blaine for the Presidency than the abstraction of a large part of the campaign fund for ulterior purposes. With the election of General Harrison the "leaders" assumed a bold frout and pretended that they were about to become a formidable factor in affairs. What their pretensions amount to is shown by our reports of the outrageous squabble at the meeting of the Executive Committee the other night. The Eepublican politicians, unless they are more careful, will put a rod in pickle for their party.

It is a pity that the rank nnd file of the party are compelled to suffer from their transgressions. PERSONAL MENTION'. Lord Dunraveu thinks that tho Valkyrie will not compete for the cup. Tho President lias gone to Cape May for a short visit. Mrs.

THE PEOPLE I'VE SMII ED WITH. RECOLLECTIONS OF A MF.llllV LITTLE Lit By MARSHALL P. WILDER, The Amoricau Humorist. erol desire is that he may preserve the health and the inclination to serve in the exalted office which he now fills with such honor to himself and advantage to the State and nation. The partisan midgets who are busy with their little schemes to supplant him cannot comprehend the real nature of tho job they have undertaken.

ITIr. Wanamakcr'u Yacht. It is a well known fact that Postmaster General "Wanamakor would not use his yacht or any other means of conveyance simply for purposes of pleasure otf the Sabbath day. He believes that the amount of work done on Sunday should, as far as consistent with necossary demands, be minimized. A steamer that proceeds on a sea voyage or an express train carrying the United States mail under contract to perform a certain service in a certain time may be permitted to exact labor on that day, but when there is no necessity to work Mr.

Wanamakor is very clearly of opinion that it ought not to be required. The Evening Post, with a thinly disguisod evil design, invitos Colonel Elliott F. Shep ard's attention to the fact that President Harrison is in the habit of making Sunday excursions on Mr. Wanamaker's yacht, and urges him to utter some word of warning whereby tho Postmaster General may bo spared the eternal consequences of being even remotely implicated in a deliberate' desecration of the Lord's day. No better evidence could be adduced to' show that tho Po.it is a malicious paper, a promoter of strife between brethren, a journal fond of setting good people by the ears and one addicted to practices that do not harmonize with pure and lofty Mugwumpian ideals.

Unquestionably the Post's idea is that if Mr. Wauamakcr lends his yacht to be used by tho President or by anybody else for Sunday excursions he is just as wicked as the person who so uses it. There is a nice question hero which might very properly engage the attention of the Philadelphia Bethany and other sources of spiritual light, but it is not necessary for us to consider it. The fact is that the Post entirely misunderstands the nature of the arrangement between the President and the Postmaster General in respect to tho use ot tin; yacht. They never had such understanding as that which, with a view, if possible, of embroiling Colonel Shepard iu a religious controversy, it imputes to thein.

AVheu General Harrison mentioned tho satisfaction it would give him to take an occasional sail in Mr. Wauamaker's pleasure boat the Postmaster General politely extended the privilege without imposing any conditions whatever. Of course, as it turns out, this was a piece of carelessness on his part. He might have said: "You are welcome to it, Mr. President, on any iceek day." But because ho forgot to say this he must not be held responsible as if he deliberately connived at a violation of the Sabbath.

General Harrison is, like himself, an earnest Presbyterian, and Mr. "Wauamaker had a perfect right to suppose, that their views in regard to the Sabbath use of yachts were in harmony. That was a legitimate presumption at the time that his consent was given, and beyond any question it accounts for tho omission to impose the restriction suggested. Nor can the President be accused of having trifled with tho confidence of his Postmaster General, inasmuch as he has plainly stated that he does not go sailing on the Lord's day for pleasure, but for rest. The wicked Post will have to try some other stratagem to entrap the pious colonel.

Where I'rohiblliosiis! Are in Error. Wo find in our lively contemporary, the Voice, organ of the political Prohibitionists, this reproachful passage Our esteemed contemporary, the Brooklyn Baulk, deliiihts itself in measuring the posnibil ity of the success of the Prohibitionists by the size of their vote for party candidates. This is not. the clear, penetrating insight into causes which experience has led us to expect to find in the columns of the usually fair minded Eagle. The ioregoiug remarks are provoked by the Eaglk's contention that municipal issues should be determined on municipal grounds.

What the meager vote here for Prohibition Mayoralty candidates goes to prove is not that the people of this city are given over to the vice of drunkenness, but that, they are perfectly competent to exercise the right of local self government. There would bo less reason than there is for confidence in the capacity of voters to direct the administration of their own concerns it they surrendered, in any considerable numbers, to the agitators who persistently seek to confound moral questions with business matters. With the promotion of total abstinence the city government has no more legitimate relation than it has with prescribing what any citizen shall eat, the. niannej in which he shall he housed, or the hour at which he shall rise in the morning. The function of government is to impartially administer thslaws prescribed by the lawmaking body erected under the Constitution.

That government is host which governs ast. The further the people withdraw from recognition of this cardinal truth the greater is the danger to the perpetuity of republican institutions and the less the likelihood of adequate application of the democratic theory to the conduct, of affairs. With the professional Prohibition agitators between whom and logical temperance men the distinction must, always be maintained the eiiief difficulty is that they ignore the simple traits of human What an unreasonable person the voter would be who regarded Prohibition as the "root and crown of things" in the science of municipal government. Both in th' ory and practice he would place his hobby foremost ai every stage of political controversy. If, for example, an c.vraordinary emergency should arise affecting the' good name of the municipality he would still cling to his single idea.

A rogue, intent on plundering the public treasury, might be running for Mayor on the ticket of one of the two great parties. A citizen of sterling honesty and iron resolution might be the nominee of the other great party. Would the professional Prohibitionist relinquish for the time being his specific scheme and unite with the forces of good government against the elements of dishonesty, disorder and threatened spoliation? No; not though he knew that a slight concession on his part would save the city millions in money and free it from the reproach of surrender to thugs, adventurers and wholesale plunderers. Because the typical Prohibition agitator clings to his preposterous fetish under every condition, whatever usefulness he might otherwise possess is largely impaired, if not utterly destroyed. There is nothing to show that political Prohibition is making greater progress in this community than it was six years ago.

These are the figures of the Prohibition Mayoralty vote in the last three municipal elections compared with the total for other candidates: Of Building, Loan and Savings Associations. ProccedJngrs of the Second Annual Conren tion Held Becentlj at Utlca Tho Work of Local Organizat ions. The second annual convention of tho New York State League of building, loan and savingB associations was held at Ctica, N. on the 10 th and 20th hist.

About o'clock this morning tho safe at the post ofiicc was broken open by burglars, who got $25 iu money. Officers Parsons and Cornelius heard noise, of pounding, and in ascertaining the cause disturbed two men, who left by the rear entrance and escaped. In their haste the burglars dropped the safe stamp boxes, two overcoats and two umbrellas. On their way one fellow cried to his pal: "Run, Jimmy, run." Tho burglars first deadened tho safe, then drilled holes near the bolts, tinally using a jimmy to break them, being thin enabled to take the door out bodily. Their tools, ten in number, with a dark lantern, were left behind.

Emmereon, who is an old settler in Van Buren County, was with his family in his honse at night when tho storm was raging.

After an hour's rain the water gradually flooded his house, and, fearing danger inside, ho gathered two of his children in his arms and made for tho door to escape. As tho door opened a huge log ailoat dashed in the entrance and knocked the little ones from his arniB. They fell at his feet into tho svf ift current and wore lost. Ho then took up two more, one in each arm, and succeeded in getting out with them safely, telling his wife to follow with tho others, but in attomptiug to escape in the same manner tho mother, with two children in her arms and three clinging to her dress, was carried down with the flood and drowned. The father and two children, the only ones left in a family of eleven, escaped with their lives.

The night waB dark, and the father, with the only two survivors of his largo family, stood in water above tho waist, clinging to a tree for several hours, and when tho waters subsided in the morning a search was made and tho dead bodies of the mother and seven children wore discovered scattered here and there for considerable distance aronnd the place, the clothing having caught iu underbrush and the bodies held fast in that way. Two of the bodies were fonud in the garden Int. a short distance from tho house, to where thoy had been carried by the force of the water, and others as far as fifty yards from tho house. Captain Faulkinbnry saw a neighbor last Wednesday, who said ho had assisted in burying the whole family next day. Ho was told that it was the heaviest storm that has ever visited that sectiou of the State, describing it as a water spout, and although it lasted only a short while it worked a loss of lifo and property that cannot bo easily estimated.

The homo of Mr. Emmerson is a total wreck, it is said, and ho is almost distracted with grief. Further than thi Captain Faulkinbury could learn nothing definite, except that tho loss of livo stock and damage to property was great. If others sufferod a like fate as befell Emmerson, he was unable to find it. ENGLAND'S TELEPHONE MONOPOLY May Cnimu file Government to Take The Wires Irish Affairs.

London, Juno Tho tclcpliono companies of the United Kingdom arc much exercised over a statement made in the House of Commons tho other day by Postmaster General Baikes that the Government would probably soon take over all the telephone business of the country. The companies to day began the circulation of petitions in London and other cities protesting against this interference with their business. The throat of tho postmaster gnicral was called forth by the announce nifiiit that three of tho great telephone companies were negotiating for a consolidation and tho alarm on the part of their patrons at the monopoly proposed. The companies took the hint ami abandoned their consolidation scheme, but did what amounted to tho same thing two of thorn went out of business and abandoned the tield to tho third, receiving as compensation for their good nature an equivalent of which tho public is not permitted to know the nature. The company urges that it is furnishing a better service than the Government where the Government operates tho telephone, but although this scorns to he generally conceded it looks as though the outcry caused by tho consolidation into one vast monopoly would compel the postmaster general to carry out his throat.

The report comes from Paris that the French Government has sent some sort of an ultimatum to tho Servian Regency on tho subject of tho railway which the Servian Government has just con liscated. The road referred to was built by a French company, which still owns it. The Government at Belgrade, on tho pica that tho company, though dividing as per cent, annually nil its capital, was running its road without regard to the convenience of its patrons, took the lines into its own hands and is now operating them. Serious international complications have grown out of this step and tho outcome is awaited with considerable interest. The many political prisoners at present confined in the Irish jails are denied access to the daily newspapers nnd not a scrap of information from the outside world is permitted to reach their cells.

Some indignation is here by the revelation of tho cruel extremes to which this rule is enforced. By the special direction of the Judges of the Special Commission Court, now in session, Mr. John O'Connor and Mr. Condon, two of the incarcerated Irish agitators, were ordered to be supplied with reports of the evidence. The reports thoy got were cut from the newspapers, and what was their mortilieation, on receiving tho cuttings, to find that the backs of them were pasted over with brown paper, so that the prisoners should have no chance of reading a stray paragraph of news, telling them what was going on in the outer world.

A Home Rule member of Parliament announces his intention of calling the attention of the Government, through a question in tho House, to this piece of heartless cruelty. SEVEIIG STORMS. A Number of I'eoolo Killed anil Hiiildinu'K Kansas City, June 'J'J. Two cyclones, or one in tiro prongs, visited Albany, in this State, on Thursday. Dispatches from that town say: "It struck the frame residence of II.

P. Williams, three miles east of this city, and completely demolished it. Mr. Williams' year old sou and his mother inlaw, Mrs. Crispin, were instantly killcil.

Mrs. Williams was fatally injured, and three children were badly hurt. The cyclone wiped out the little Village of Lone Star, destroying tho storehouse ami goods of A. O. Townsond, the Baptist Church, school house and many resi lenecs.

Air. Townsond, the postmaster, thought to bo fatally injured, as is also Mrs. George Stineinan. Many other farm houses and outbuildings wcro destroyed, and it is impossible to estimate the damages. At a citizens' meeting hero to day several hundred dollars was raised and clothing for tho sufferers provided." It was an electric storm at Danville, where the house of Frederick Magnus was struck by a bolt of lightning, which instantly set tho building on lire.

Mrs. Magnus was shocked and it required quick work for Mr. Magnus to save her and his two sleeping children. The cyclone struck the Godfrey Reserve at Hartford Citj early yesterday morning. Shull and Smith's barn, thu largest in tho country, was utterly destroyed, including farm implements.

Several orchards were demolished and $10,000 in valuable timber. Tho cyclone passed over from northwest to sontheast. A fearful wind and rain followed tho cyclone. Water iu the rivers higher than at any time this year. A dispatch from Monticello, says a very heavy storm visited that section of the State Thursday night and tho streams are again overflowed.

The Sangamon River has spread all over the bottom and hundreds of acres of farm lands are under water. Much corn is ruined, while many fields are covered with weeds, the long con tinned rain having prevented plowing. Considerable damago was done by the lightning and high wind. During a thunder storm at Vandalia, Thursday oveniug William Stock, a carpenter, of St. Elmo, this county, was struck by lightning and instantly killed.

A severe wind storm passed over a section of country twenty miles west of Tuscola, Thursday night, doing much damage to crops and fruits and laying down barns and fences. At At wood it assumed the nature of a water spout, and in a few moments water was running several inches deep through some of tho business streets tho entiro width. The Lako Fork Canal overflowed its banks, and in many low places muh corn was ruined. A section of railroad truck on the Indianapolis, Decatur and Western road was washed out west of Atwood.

Ho also says that he saw tho men distinctly, and that he will be able to idontify them, and that his female companion also saw them, and that sho, too, will be able to idontify thoni. Brooks' explanation of hiB failure to toll hia story before is that he was afraid of losing his lite, as he believed tho men concerned in tho murder wore so desperate they would kill anyone who they thought might turn up as a witness against thorn.

Ho described tho three men whom he saw, and his description of one is said to fit Burko, the Winnipog prisoner. SULLIVAN AND KILKAI.VS BATTLE GROUND.

The total of the city budget as made up from the requisitions of the several departments is $10,030,042.87. There is an increase of $2,180,712.62.

Adding the County and Charities figures, which are chiefly borne by the city, the total is $12,733,692.87. The whole local increase is $2,550,666.67. The Board of Estimate will meet on Monday next to consider these estimates. Some of them are beyond its reach the principal and interest of the city debt which will be payable next year, for example, for which th'e increase amounts to $112,478.32. Other requisitions should bo closely and carefully examined.

The increase in the city budget last year was $240,031.84. It is greater this year by $1,940,680.70. Such an advance certainly should attract the attention of the Mayor and his cabinet. The taxpayers will the more emphatically protest against anything like extravagance because the Legislature has authorized a large addition to the bonded debt for the purpose of making street repairs and other improvements which else would have to be provided for by the treasury from year to year. One of the arguments in favor of the Mayor's bills, as they have been called, was that by distributing the expense of stich work over a long period of time the immediate load of taxes would be lightened.

So heavy an addition to these was not looked for forthwith. The Board of Estimate will doubtless find opportunity for judicious cutting. Of course, the needs of a great city grow, but the very fact that increase is unavoidable in some directions is conclusive against unnecessary excesses. The following table shows the additional demands of the several departments: Police 10,0 14.1)9 Education Fire 750,00 City Works 401,307.00 Health tUS.OO Parks a 7 0.8 3 0.1 8 The police requisition suggests the right rule. Commissioner Bell asks for half a million more in round numbere.

So far as this is paid for an increased number of policemen and for other means of strengthening the force there will bo no complaint on tho part of the people. But the Board of Estimate should set its face against an increase of pa'. Encouraging ITSr. Seiril. There are many societies for the encouragement of virtue, a few for the encouragement of Mr.

Browning, a vast number for the encouragement of talk and too many for the encouragement of politics. These bodies have definite and often worthy objects to accomplish, the Browning societies alone, having written and spoken volumes that may serve students of abundant leisure, in their attempts to clarify the dark, dense utterances of that poet and to deduce thoughts out of his words. An association with a different but no less admirable purpose has been formed in Brooklyn, with a view to encouraging ithc orchestra leader who is giving concerts at Brighton Beach, and in his honor it is called the Seidl Society. It. is real encouragement, too for its devotion does not manifest itself in writing essays, in making speeches and in twining wreaths of laurel around busts and portraits: it takes the heroic form of trips to Coney Island and the purchase of seats for concerts.

Its campaign began with a dinner, to which the object of its regard had no invitation, and that lasted all through tho first concert; but the society attended the second of Mr. Seidl's entertainments and gave him a big letter made of daisies, as a hint that it regarded him as a good deal of a daisy himself. It is a little si range that this society is composed entirely of ladies, the coarse half of humanity that goes to Coney Bland to drink beer and swim being excluded from its counsels, though, happily, not from its. advantages, tho concerts being free to everybodywho pays. There is a suggestion of Buntliorue.

and the rapturous maidens in tho mutual attitude of this musician and his admirers, for like the hero of Gilbert and Sullivan's opera, Mr. Seidl is devoted to Art, and like the numerous heroines in the same work the maidens are devoted to the Artist. Thcv listen reverently when he is present and join in a flattering concensus of approbation tor his merits when he is afar. Mr. Seidl also cuts his hair long.

It is sweet and pleasing to be thus singled out for distinction by ladies of cultivation and intelligence, and Mr. Seidl's lot will excite envy in men who have never succeeded in creating admiration for themselves in the breast of a single member of the fair sex. These disgruntled citizens will probably go into the gallery and smoke cheap cigars as an act of revenge for this disproportionate adjustment of regard; or they can hire orchestras of their own, set. up as rivals and gather a coterie of rapturous maidens for themselves. Seriously, the purpose of the Seidl Society is commendable and it is capable of doing good work.

The undertaking that it helps is deserving of prosperity and the giving of good music, in and near the centers of population has never been so easy, from a business point of view, that managers could afford to slight the practical aid of an organzation like this. There is a refreshing absence of the giggling girl and "young feller" element iu this company, for the misses and matrons who have organized it are students of a divine art, and can endure for an evening without ice cream or the attentions of "young fellers." In fact, the move toward emancipation from "young llers" gives the society an added importance and usefulness. By joining an association like this a woman, if she be unmarried or unengaged, need not sit pining at home for healthful recreation or refined pleasures because no "young feller" offers to act as escort. In union there, is strength, and the several hundred devotees of Brighton Beach music are, in their corporate capacity at all events, quite well able to take care of themselves, Not only is the direct aim of the society good, but it. is likely to accomplish good results through its example.

It would be fortunate for every commendable enterprise if it could have the support of an appreciative and enthusiastic organization like the Seidl Society. Ucurga F. Kil mil lids. Tf the alleged "movement" to supersede Senator Edmunds has no better foundation than the dissatisfaction that is said to prevail among Vermont office seekers, it might as well be abandoned. The very fact that Mr.

Edmunds has habitually declined to bind hin self by pledges to applicants for Federal employment; that he has taken little or no part in the quadrennial scrambles for and that he looks upon the whole business as a most discreditable feature of American politics constitutes one of his strongest claims to the respect and confidence of his constituents and of tho entire American people. It is true that tho Vermont Senator is a strong partisan. His granitic nature firmly and tenaciously embraces the beliefs which he has deliberately adopted. He abhors a trimmer, despises the man who shapes his course according to the shifting winds of expediency and is a consistent advocate of the purpose which parties were designed to serve. But the time never was when Mr.

Edmunds would consent to make his partisanship the shield of a dishonorable act, or of an improper nomination, or of anything that a self respecting man might not publicly or privately do. There is no prominent member of the Eepublican party who has given greater provocation to his political opponents; there is none who has exasperated them more; but we venture to say that there is also none for whom those opponents at heart feel a more profound respect. To suppose that the intelligent of the State of Vermont would exchange such a man for some politician who could be better depended upon to make a satisfactory apportionment of the Federal loaves ami fishts is to supposo an absurdity. Mr. Edmunds is a credit to his State, a credit to his party, a credit to the country.

The card that appeared in the Eagle yesterday, signed by some of the leading physicians of Brooklyn and severely critieisi ng the Health authorities for their treatment of Dr. Bogert, is fully justified by the report of Health Officer Smith at Swinburne Island as to the character of the malady from which J)r. Duncan is suffering. Dr. Smith telegraphed Dr.

Cyrus Edson and the Quarantine Commissioners a full history of the ease, and stated that since the patient's admission to the hospital his symptoms conclusively prove that his disease is remittent fever. The blunder of our Health Board recalls the analogous ease of Professor Proctor, the astronomer, who was removed from the Westminster Hotel, New York, "under the impression that he had yellow fever. As the removal was made at night in the midst of a severe storm it is generally believed to have been the real cause of his death. It is certainly a noteworthy fact that the members of neither Board appear to possess the scientific knowledge necessary to distinguish yellow fever from maladies closely resembling it. Southern physicians, to whom the facts in Professor Proctor's ease were reported, were unanimously of the belief that his symptoms would have deceived no doctor familiar with the phenomena oE yellow fever.

They trenchantly criticised the action of the New York Health authorities and plainly insinuated that they were not qualified to pronounce a professional opinion in the premises. Scarcely less severe is the censure passed by the physicians signing the above mentioned card on the Brooklyn Health Board. They inferentially accuse the mem "bersof the Board of gross ignoiauce. The declaration that Dr. Bogert was justified in taking time to form a correct diagnosis necessarily carries the presumption that the authorities acted without knowledge.

But it appears from the explanation made, by Dr. Bogert that the ease is even more aggravated than it appears to be in the card. His delay to report it did not proceed from his uncertainty as to the nature of the malady. "I never suspected," he says. "that.

Dr. Duncan was suffering from yellow fever, but all nloug was positive that he had an attack of bilious intermittent fever." Prom this the remarkable consequence follows that lie js detained a prisoner by the order of a board of professional men who were loo ignorant to Inlaw that lie had committed no offense. They acted fin the rumor that, the doctor was attending a yellow fever patient, whereas if they had made an examination for themselves and been competent to form a judgment as to the true character of the disease they would have discovered that there was no cause for alarm. The Truth About Merimsliip MlbtfidiCH. It is a common saying that the supremacy of British maritime commerce is largely, if not altogether, due to the bounties received by the vessels sailing Her Majesty's flag.

Tile advocates of subsidies to American ships have become so accustomed to pointing to England as an illustration of what can be accomplished under the bounty principle that their argument may be said to rest almost exclusively on that aspect of the controversy. And it is not to be denied that there is'a vague impression in the public, mind that English steamships are liberally subsidized and that thedccline of our own maritime trade lias been the result of failure to adopt similar methods of encouragement. Ttis well to know the actual facts. for they differ so radically from popular understanding, that one cannot fail to be impressed by them. To the Evening Post we are indebted for a valuable table of figures throwing a great deal of light on the subject at issue.

Our contemporary recently addressed a letter to the Treasury of the United Kingdom nuking for precise information as to what England was paying in the way of steamship subsidies, and received a reply under date (if June fi.

The payments are not confined to English vessels, for any line of steamships has the right to enter the list of competitors, the contracts being invariably awarded to the lowest bidders.

As a business department of the Government the foreign packet service is conducted on the same terms as the domestic branches, contracts being awarded on their merits wrhuut any regard whatever to claims of nationality or "the flag." Who over does the work cheapest gets it, and that is all there is to it. Now it must be admitted that there is no similarity whatever between. this system and the proposed payments ot bounties to American ships. As the I'ost says "The one is based on the principles of competition and the open market for carrying the mails, the Government being reimbursed by the postage money collected the other is a bounty on tin; basis of mileage sailed." The one is a purely business transaction the other aims to substitute senli inentalism for sense on the mistaken supposition that commerce will follow instead i( being regulated by its own unchangeable 'laws. And if it be said that England is en abledto be independent to day because of her liberal subsidies in the past, it surely does MEMORIES OF STUDENT DAYS.

But I see not only these kindly spirits, but I see my class gradually growing smaller, as. each year, one after another dropped out or fell behind, until our day of gl ad nation arrived, and tlie class of liitl had been reduced to Five years wo hud labored together, and among those who remained to the end strong friendships were formed uud a class spirit was aroused that has survived these many years. This class spirit has led us to meet as a class at intervals, and I am sure, from my own experience, that such meetings have been most pieasant and profitable. LONG ISLAND LITKiATiOXS.
