terrible race over the three whole miles TIL
across the finish line Then most interest
ing questions will be settled. Then we shall
know beyond cavil who are the better oars
men-the student amateurs or the non-stu-
dent; who are the fnster--the English univer-
sity men or the American which country has
really learned to best combine skill, speed
and stay at the oar after long years of wait
ing we shall at last see the famous English
stroke with our own eyes and no longer at
second hand, and greatest of all, on track
superbly fitted for an absolutely fair test
tideless, currentless, straight and laned-it
will be clearly proved who are the fastest
gentlemen oarsmen in the world. On the
next day bring the great professionals to-
gether likewise, and thus. in the greatest
racing week any Of us will ever see, it may
be found that the best oarsmen in the world
are not professionals, do not live by the
Thames or Tyne, but again at Cornwall-on-
the-Hudson, or may be, better yet, by the lit
tie Kill Won Kull

Long Distance International contests
mt Saratoga.

The race between the three fastest uniyer-
sity fours Of Europe and the three fastest of
America seems (thnnks largely to the energy
of the regatta committee and its chairman,
Captain Rees), to be in an excellent way of
accomplishment, and, great and wide
spread rs was the interest in the Oxford
Harvard match in fours on the Thames in
1863, it promises to DO completely eclipsed.
And now the door is opened for meeting
never before possible in the annals Of
aquatics, one which, for brilliancy, thorough
ness and satisfactoriness of test and valuable
results, will Justly prove an event long to
be remembered. On the second day follow
ing the international university struggle
let Saratoga throw open on her magnificent
track race for the chosen amateur oarsmen
of the world. The prizes need not, indeed
had better not, be costly; a laurel wreath
was ample in ancient struggles for the
mastery. America has no other such course.
lighthouses are already erected. No other
place has been nearly so successful in hand

Barbados and the British West Indies.
1t is little difficult to understand why
the scheme of confederation of the Wind
ward Islands should provoke any real trouble
in Barbados, or that Governor Hennessy, in
seeking to promote it, should be accused of
encouraging sedition and setting class against
class A closer scrutiny of the condition of
the British West Indies may explain them.
In spite of Exeter Hall and the English
abolition societies. which are more hated in
the West Indies now than when slavery was
formally abolished, there is practical servi-
tude in these islands to-day. In Jamaica
the landowners held on to their lands when
emancipation made it impossible for them
to work their plantations, and rather than
permit the creoles to become owners of the
soil most of the estates were practically
abandoned. Thousands of acres in that
fruitful island have not been titled for nearly
half century, and the whole cause Of the
degradation of the people of jamaica and the
decline in prosperity fthe country was owing
to the stubborn dog-in-the-manger policy
pursued by the planters. If an oppor-
tunity had been afforded to the colored
people of the island to acquire land
and a real interest in the country Jamaica
would to-day be the most prosperous of the
Antilles. In Demcrara the planters have
been attempting to remedy the inconyen-
fences of the abolition of slavery by diff
fcrent kind of scrvitude, and the East Indian
coolies in that country are little above the
condition Of slaves. Barbados is the excep-
tional island. Every acre of this little speck
in the sea is under cultivation. The lands
are in the hands of the few and it is neces-
sary for all to work who would eat As mat
ter of course there is much oppression; and
the ruling class is extremely jealous of any
attempt on the part of the workinemen to
better their condition. This explains the
hostility to any liberality toward the poor
people by Governor Hennessy the absurd
cry of the planters against sedition, and the
exaggerated reports of outrages and crime on
the part of the negroes. 1t enables us
also TO read tho version of the troubles,
which comes to us this morning by way of
Kingston, between the lines, and will excite
more sympathy for Governor Hcnnessy and
his cause, both in this country and in Eng
land, than anything that has yet been said
on the subject.

Our Old Folks.

The other day we printed an interesting
conversation with the venerable Cook st.
John, of this State, in which he gave many
pleasant details of his experiences in this city
and elsewhere nearly a century ago. Mr..
st. John never saw General Washington.
although he was born as early as 1773 and
was in Norwalk, Conn, when the Father OF
his Country passed through that place on his
way to New York. To-day we give an inter
view with Mrs. Mary Reynolds Macdonald,
who has still vivid recollection of Wash.
ington and his appearance. II know just
how he looked" she said, ''for used to sill
hours and hours and see his picture, and
his every feature is impressed upon
my mind" Some of these recollections
are exceedingly quaint. Mr.. st. John related
a curious story Of Arnold and his colored
servant, and of the bride money which the
traitor concealed and the negro unearthed.
Not less quaint is Mrs. MacDonalds recollec-
ton of the watermelon which Pennsyl-
vania farmer provided for one of Washing
tons Christmas dinners, or Judge Bibb's
"reminiscences of Lafayette's visit to Alabama
in 1924. All these things are not very i'm
portant, perhaps, but their sources and their
quaintness lend them an interest which must
yield pleasure to many readers, especially at
this time. when everything relating to our
revolutionary leaders has freshness which
only the centennial of our national indie
pendence can give it.

PoLrTIcs AND INDUSTRY. President Mac
Mahon will scarcely be reached by the
intrigue on foot in Paris to induce him
to withhold the money voted for sending
French workmen to Philadelphia. 1t is
pretended by those who urge this step
that there is danger that the workmen will
give more attention to politics while in this
country than to the more legitimate objects
of the visit. If they should while here give
some attention to politics it will do them no
harm. Should they discover that our politi-
cal system, in spite Of many defects, is the
most admirable product of the country, and
report on their return that it seemed to them
the thing most worthy imitation of all that
they saw, they would probably horrify none
but reactionary deputies. This expression
of fear that these visitors will study cur
politics is IN indication of how ignorant the
average deputy is of our institutions If
they wish French workmen to learn thor
oughly that civil liberty and communism are
totally different things this is the place to
send them; but this fact the deputies do
not know. Doubtless the movement re-
ferred to in the despatch is the reply Of the
conservative party to the Hugo deponstra-
ton. 1t is pity that this envoy of work
men should have become party question,
but since it has it is at least satisfactory that
it is favored by the stronger party.

The ARGUMENT on the question of the
jurisdiction of the Senate in the Bclknap
impeachment trial was begun yesterday, Mr..
Montgomery Blair addressing the Court in
opposition and Mr.. Lord on the part of the
managers of the House of Representatives.
No great ability was displayed on either
side and we fear the question is not to be
argued with the ability adequate to its i'm
portance

Dur Dear Old Friend, ssThe Special"
On Tuesday, the 18th of April, Mr.. Henry
Irving, the celebrated English actor, ap-
peared in London in Tennyson's play,
''Queen Mary" 1t was theatrical event of
world wide interest, because of the author,
the actors and the theme. On Thurs
day, May 4, we have in contemporary q
charming criticism Of this performance,
written with taste and knowledge fine bit
of especial correspondence" The account
would be contribution to journalism but
for one thing. The HERALD, on April %,
published criticism three columns long,
containing not only all the critical opinions
of the accomplished writer, but most inter-
esting details important to womenkind, es-
pecially as to how the parts were dressed
and the stage was set. In other words, the
HERALD printed a complete picture of the
event just as our contemporary does now
The correspondents of tho two journals
were present and did their Office faithfully.
The difference is that the HERALD sent it's
account by cable while the other came by
mail. The further difference is that, while
the morning after the performance of play
by Tennyson all lovers Of the drama would
be curious to know how it succeeded,
no one cares now that the event is two weeks
old. A criticism upon Mr.. Irving MS Philip
is about as newsy as a criticism of Hazlitt
on Edmund Kean. 1t is not news, but liter
AZURE.
This only shows that the cable has de-
stroyed the usefulness of the dear old
special. His work is done. Let him write
never so well, let him turn his periods
with never so graceful flourish, let
him give his views, his recollections,
his learning and his hopes-who
really cares? 1t is SO old story
Everybody read it days before in the
HERALD. Although lovers of polite litera-
ture may lament the change, and look back
to the good old time when people wrote at
their leisure and there was room for gifted
men to discourse about Shakespeare and the
musical glasses, we are very well content
as it is.

from Madrid to the London Standard which

courage OF the Cuban patriots rises and the
Republic has new President and is in
