Gladstone is Baffled, Mr. Gladstone wrote a letter on the liquor question to the lute temperance congress which held its sessions in London. It is an instructive production. It is a confession by the most intelligent and distinguished statesman of the age that, after a lifetime of study, j he does not know near as much about the subject as Warner Miller, Roosevelt, Carlos Martyn and other proses sional reformers think they know, without. having studied the subject, at all. Mr. Gladstone says: “While pro : soundly sensible of Ihe immense im I portative of the liquor question, 1 cannot pretend that I have mnstered its difficulties. I see it clearly in certain of its aspects, but as a whole it baffles

me. I have no doubt that the local ri r.7;T|Jo' Is sound, but they must be of very sanguine temperament who believe that it is sufficient to dis pose of the entire question.” lie then says that the G ■ (honbur/ plan has been tried with partial success in Scandinavia, but he does not know that it would work well elsewhere. He has a poor opinion of “the scheme of limitation by reducing the number of licenses.” He thinks it unfortunate that “a plan of free trade, with strict supervision,” has not been tried in Great Britain. This statement from the greatest living Englishman, a man of profound thought, of pions convictions, of vast humanity, should teach a lesson of modesty and reserie to the preachers and teachers without a scintilla of his worth and knowledge who have estab Hshed rules of proscription in politics and society on this subject of which they understand so little Hud their knowledge is com| a>ulively vnluele s The liquor question is an unsolved problem, and is lik< lv to remain so m til mankind acquires from edueati.ni ami expei ience a great additional aim nm t

of practical An » i The Antrim Estate. A special from \inletsop, this state, has the following concerning the An trim estate. Whether the iviihr knows anything about it or md । mains to be seen. I’he special says; “The Antrim heirs of Ind tana, ivho have hired attorneys to go to Ireland to lay claim to the great estate sail to be held in chancery, have leceived a let ter from an English solicitor saying that for a few shillings it can be as eertained that there never was 1.i.00i), 00<l pounds tit any time in the Antrim family. Ifo flays a set of lawy. rs have been practicing the dodge of mak ing Americans believe they have largo estates awaiting I hem to such an ex tent that the English government now requires a report every three ye trs set ting forth all the funds in chancery amounting to more than $250. Ihe last report showed that there were two estates now on hand amounting to more than $75,0('0 and neither of these has any thing to do wit h the An

trim estate.” I’he Antrim heirs held a meeting in Chicago last week and employed an attorney f<> go to Ireland am! personally , investigate the matter. The heirs have unquestionably acted wisely in taking I such a step, as the question of the! legacy will thus be definitely settled to the satisfaction of all concerned.

Propelled by Air Leonard Wolfersperger, of Columbin Citv. has invented an air engine of small dimensions to be placed on the ■ rear axle of bicycles that will propel the wheel. The design shows an air boiler, plungers and other mechanical appliances, not, delicate or numerous, but thoroughly substantial. It will be necessary to start the bicycle by foot, power, which will assist the boiler to secure air sufficient to start the plungers and other parts, —these latter then supplying both air and power, and the wheel goes speeding on indefinitely at the rider’s bidding.
