The New York Tribune says that
Blaine's prospects are still Frightening.
SO much go % even 10 render possible
that much longed for majority in the
Cincinnati Convention. II may be true
that he will receive the nomination, but
unless Bristow or Hayes accepts the
Vice Presidential nomination it will
prove an unfortunate result for his party.
Blaine Is confessedly SO weak in New
York and Indiana that his nomination
looks like almost surrendering those
States to the Democracy. That would
be shrewd loss; too great detection
to be borne, seeing that the Southern
vote will be an mutt excepting South
Carolina for the Democratic nominee
This time there will Be no convenient re.
turning boards in Louisiana or Missis-
sippi or Alabama to count 10 or out this
precinct or county, the vote Of which
may be inconvenient. II must also be
remembered that Congress will not be
likely to count out any States. This time
the equal balance of opposing parties
will ensure to some extent fair deal ell
round. That being the case the nomina.
ton of candidate who cannot at least
have an equal showing in New York or
Indiana seems to be suicidal. These
reasons cause Us still to think that Blaine
will not receive the nomination at Gin.

Nor YEr.-A week or two of breathing
time for the Great Powers is probably in
order upon the Eastern question, unless the
principalities grow tired Of being held back
by Power that really wishes to see them at
war with Turkey The conflicting reports
which have reached here respecting the
attitude of Servia show that it would require
but little precipitancy to turn the scale from
warliko peace to actual war. The insur-
gents in the revolted provinces having gone
SO far and held their ground so fairly prob3
ably count but little on the offers of the
Porte, and this continuous irritant on the
principalities may draw the evil humors to
the surface before the great diplomatic doc
tors can remove them by internal treatment.

cellors at Ems. Austria, whatever side she

Repeal OF tho Resumption Act.

One Of our Washington correspondents
draws attention to the strenuous attempt
about to be made in Congress for the repeal
of the law fixing January /, 1879, as the date
for the resumption of specie payments. Our
correspondent thinks it will receive the sup
port of soft money republicans rs we'll as
soft money democrats. This movement is
Of no Importance and deserves no respect.
Even if it passes the House it cannot pass
the Senate, and is therefore of no Importance.
When Congress adjourns the law will stand
precisely as it does at present. The attempt
to carry repeal through the House is a
trick of demagogues, with view to force the
question into the Presidential canvass. 1t
can have no effect at Cincinnati, because the
republican party is too shrewd not to take
advantage of the democratic split on the
currency. The fact that Senator Morton
went to Ohio last fall and spoke on the
hard money side should be accepted as
Convention will be unit on tho currency
question. Wild theorists, like Pig Iron
Kelley, have lost oil influence in the repub-
lican party since the discovery that the re-
sumption question can be used as wedge
to split the democratic party.
The expediency of repeating the Resump-
ton act is a question for the next Congress-
The act is idle without new Legislation pro-
viding means for carrying it into effect
There is no pressing need for immediate
action, for the present laws are bringing o
gradual contraction Of the currency, and
legislation tor accelerating or arresting this
contraction had better come year or two
hence then at present. If it is found in
1877 or 1878 that resumption in 1879 would
cause too great shock to business the period
can then be extended. The sound opinion
of the country cares little for the particular
date provided there is steady progress
toward resumption, and it is wise to post
pone legislation on the subject until the
country gets beyond the heat and turmoil of
Presidential election. The repeal of the
Resumption act now is not possible, because
the Senate will not consent to it, and the
passage of such bill by the House, with a
mere view to political effect, would be a con-
temptible trick, deserving the scorn of honest
men.

BoYs AND KNIVES are hard to keep apart,
but it is usually with the view of having
tool rather than weapon that the boy SO longs
for the blade The case of the boy Moore,
who stabbed and killed another boy in
trifling quarrel, shows how the cowardly re-
sort to the knife by old ruffians has its
demoralizing effect on the young Youth is
initiative, and the passions are often
stronger in boyhood than grown people are
apt to imagine. Hence, in a city where
policemen use their clubs on the slightest
provocation, and rowdy answers rowdy with
The knife or pistol, brutality is certain to be
encouraged in the adolescent. The COM
paratively harmless resort to fisticuffs seems
to have gone out of fashion alike for young
and old. Let us hope that pending the
millennium, when goodness shall be uni
versal, manliness in quarrel may take its
old place in our affections.

The New York Yacht Club Regatta.
Since the yachting authorities got the
sinister old weather prophet at Washington
under control we have been blessed with
better racing days for June regattas than
formerly fell to our lot. We cannot say
exactly how the job was done. nor can we
tell how long the yachtsmen will hold the
willy old disappointer in custody, but on no
other supposition than that they have him
..closed under matches" as Burns says of His
Satanic Majesty, can we account for yester-
days good luck. First Of all there was
little duck of breeze to make a pretty
start then outside the Narrows there was
just enough to make the yachtsmen shake
out every snowy inch of sail aboard till the
handsome craft fairly waltzed along the
waters, like summer queens dancing ecstat-
ically to the god Of day. Now aud
again q wicked puff Of wind would come
and bring down some of the lighter drapery
of these royal ladies by the run, and after
they had tripped out past the Hook Old
Neptune put such rollers under their flying
feet and the wind sung such hurly in their
ears that the faintest hearts and Trailer forms
among them we're fain to turn and show
their surf-white heels TO the sindecorous
powers Of wind and waves Then it became
a race in earnest, and the band of fearless,
hardy sisters, gathering their skirts about
them, went madly for the turning point
and home again, dashed with the spray,
which they did not take c,,,u 1ronO Sails but
by the bucketful. 1t was truly delight
full sport, and the Comet, as she came DASH
ing back through the Narrows, leav-
ing her lighter or more numbering
sisters behind, was picture that the
footed Thetis would have risen from
the sea to applaud if she happened to be in
the Bay yesterday. The Idler belied her
name in her hurry back to Staten Island;
