The preparations for the great sculling
race on Chautauqua Lake to-day, the
most interesting contest of its kind that
the country has ever known, are fully de-
scribed in our special despatch. The only
predictions about the result come indirectly
from betting men. who are Offering four to
three on Hanlan, but the odds being as
small as they are seem to show that Han
lan's past record has more to do with book
makers opinion than anything in the
present comparative condition of the
men. Both rowers were in fine spirits
yesterday we miss the stories, common
before any great contess between athletes,
of colds, boils, strains, &c.; so it is about
certain that each man, in addition to being
determined to do his best, is in condition
to do it. Fortunately for all concerned
the weather on Chautauqua Lake to-day
promises to be perfect, so that postpone
ment, with its attendant disappointments
and suspicious, seems almost impossible.
1t is difficult, too, to see how, without inten-
ton, ''foul" can occur, for each man has his
own course distinctly marked by flags, and
neither man can threaten trouble by at
tempting to take the water Of the other.
Taking all facts into consideration the race
promises to be prompt, hard, fair, fast and
decisive. D

Of view it appears severe to load her people
with inferential charges of heartless indif-

which are to-day laid before our readers,
and there the responsibility must
rest We leave it to the public,
after it shall have read the letter from
Ithaca, whether or not the case has been
made out, and whether or not our corre-
spondent exercised due diligence and
care in getting at the truth. In no
other part of the world has more money
been expended in providing accommoda-
tions for the weak and helpless than in the
lands of the English tongue. If one can
judge OF The adequacy OF the support of
these establishments by the am cunt of funds
expended it would seem beyond dispute
that oil necessary comforts and medical
care were supplied. Notwithstanding
these statistical evidences of our humani-
tarianism, investigation clearly demon
strates the grave fact that much of this vast
outlay, amounting, as We showed few
days ago, to millions each year in this State
alone, does not serve the purpose in salts
factory manner. One oftwo things is beyond
question-either the expenditure, large as
it is. is inadequate or tho money is diverted
from the real purposes for which it is as
sessed, and consequently misspent. Here
is a chance for some young, ambitious and
eloquent member of the next Legislature
to gain reputation for practical reform
which will last him through life and secure
for him the respect Of every lover of his

The libeller of Mrs. Langtry appeared in
London yesterday in new role, but not
successfully He tried the line ofapology,
and was prepared to make as abject dec
laraton of his own offencs as could be re-
quired even by any one who might wish to
witness an extreme case of humiliation.
This man, it will be remembered, published
the most atrocious scandals against a lady
of good repute. declared in public print
repeatedly that her husband had pc
titioned for divorce because of her
impurity, and facts of that nature.
and boasted of his publications as
great achievements. But, arrested on
the charge Of libel, and imprisoned be-
cause he cannot obtain bail. he grovels and
whines like a pitiful cur to have his bail
put down to point at which he can meet
the demands of justice. This is not q
pleasant spectacle, except in one important
respect. 1t is degrading to see man put
in such straits though even by his own
fault; but it is satisfactory to reflect that
some discipline of this sort is likely to arrest
the mania for libel, and if it does not reduce
the number of papers that have hitherto
lived by 1t at least to change the direction
of their activity.

trast to the English lines in this particular
respect. Not only are the hours for meals
more nationally distributed, but the food
itself is more carefully and skilfully pre-
pared. The fault of the table service upon
nearly all the lines is, as we have often
before urged, the sacrifice of simplicity
to parade. Instead of having plain
table dh6te dinner, with one soup,
a single kind of fish and one or two
joints with plain vegetable, all we'll
cooked, it is the rule to load the tables
with entrees and fancy dishes, most of
which are unpalatable ms we'll rs indigesti-

plan is to be done away with on one or two
of the lines, especially the White Star line,

1t might have been supposed that the
sweeping republican victories in Ohio and
Iowa would swell Cornell ratification
meeting at the Cooper Union to unusual
proportions. But it did not. There was a
very respectable meeting there last night in
numbers and enthusiasm, but one not ex-
traordinary in either particular 1t was
limited to the hall itself aud did not extend
out OF doors. The rank and file OF
the party are not pervaded yet with
an excitement quite corresponding
with the language OF their captains
with those of Mr.. Edwards Pierreponi, for
example, who made the principal speech of
the occasion and goaded his hearers with
an abundance of historical "reminiscences of
sectional animosity and civil war prelimi-
nary to indirect suggestions of renomina-
ton of General Grant for President II We
may borrow phrase from the vocabulary
of Mr.. Pierrepont's diplomatic predecessor
at London, he ''saw" Senator Conkling's
Brooklyn speech and 'went it better
in stalwartism. He styled tho demo-
cratic party 'confederates" and dee
clared that renewal Of the rebel
lion is question seriously involved
in the coming Presidential contest Even
Mr.. Hamilton Fish, from whom more tem-
perance of sentiment might reasonably have
been expected. contributed on infammatory
letter OF kindred purport
Now Mr.. Cornell, whose nomination, and
not that of General Grant, this republican
meeting ostensibly was summoned to COM
mend, may possibly be elected Governor Of
New York; but if he is it will be in
spite of and not by means of such
appeals as Mr. Conkling and Mr.. Pierrepont
and Mr.. Fish have addressed to their
audiences. There are great many repub-
lican voters with independent minds who
tolerate this beating of drums and blow
ing Of flies with sad reluctance, who do
not believe that there is the slightest
danger of renewal of rebellion, who dis
approve of stigmatizing their political
opponents with term odious because of
its imputation of disloyalty, and who yearn
for fair political discussions pertinent to
time of peace. There are quite enough of
these voters to insure Mr.. CornelPs defeat
if they should refuse him support solicited
upon the extravagant argument that the
safety of the country is involved in his suc-
cess. They persevere in upholding q stall
wart republican ticket mainly because they
conceive that abstinence from the polls or
voting for Governor Robinson means po-
litical assistance to Mr.. Tilden. In his
relation of scarecrow to these voters that
gentleman is quite as effective an ally OF
the stalwart republicans as ia Mr.. John
Kelly.

England with Russia on the subject of

other, and she cannot yield without dis
credit while the possession OF Herat by
her appears to be o necessary part of that
policy. England fancies that she has now
safely got all she wants and that she has
only to hold on to it and is not under any
obligation, physical or moral, to hold it
under any terms made with Russia. Her
view is founded upon her present aotual

We print elsewhere O communication

with justice Of the poor fare furnished

the Atlantic he never fully understood the

expression, ''Son of a sen cook" Undoubt-

his class. A Gordon Jleu is rarely an ad-

In the correspondence from Toxic printed
in to-day's Herald the reader will find a
story of unusual interest. This is the first
full account of the voyage of the Vega from
her winter station in the ice to Behring
Strait. An outline of this story, sent by
cable, was published in the HERALD at the
time of the arrival of Professor Norden-
skiold in Japan, but the ampler recital of
the same circumstances gathered by our
with the explorer and his associates will be
found to have an interest but little lessened
by previous knowledge of the main points
in the story. 1t is the detail OF such mar
rative-the recital of the daily winter life,
of the visits of the savages, of what was
seen and heard day by day-from which
the reader is able to construct in imagina-
tion vital conception Of the reality of such
voyage, and the general account Of that
detail is now for the hrst time sent forth in
print in this correspondence.
This story is such rs to suggest that
the full narrative Of this voyage, with the
studies of the various scientific depart
exceedingly valuable contribution to some
important branches of knowledge. Norden-
skj6ld's parallel of Northern Asia with the
United States as to an enormously. rapid de-
velopment of commerce and industry may
never be realized, and is In several senses
not particularly accurate. American growth
was due to causes peculiar to the time, and
not merely to the tact that bold explorer
had discovered an empty wilderness. That
wilderness also was an inviting ono--and
in climate suitable for the best develop
ment OF humanity. But the expressions of
European systems forced millions of en-
ergetic men to wander to new homes, and
there is no such cause in operation to
people Siberia, unless it may be in China.
But it is very possible that Nordenskj6ld's
discovery may change the future of North
ern Asia in the direction of that speculative
fancy, though not to the extent the COM
parison implies.
Perhaps the study of the race of men
whom Nordenskj6ld found in the eastern
division Of Siberia and his observation of
their regular winter and summer commerce
with this continent, will lead out some day
toward some satisfactory information on the
subject of possible prehistoric commerce
of the same sort as related to the peopling
of the continent of North America. He has,
it will be observed, no good opinion of Arc
tic dogs, and is inclined to believe that in
the season in which they could be of most
use to assist exploration they are apt to be
worthless because of debility consequent
upon partial starvation. But that is GER
tainly only local fact. Want seems to
prevail on oil that coast, and it is the tes-
timony of the explorer that the people
themselves were as hungry as their dogs. In
Arctic explorations in the northern regions
of this continent the same difficulty has
not been found, because the dogs, regarded
as working members OF the force, are prop
erly cared for.

The Planters Plan of Cuban Eman-
cipatiOn.

The Planters Plan Of Cuban Eman-
cipntion.
1t testfes to the foresight as well as the
stake the continuance of his Ministry ut
Madrid upon faithful fulflment of the
pledges of emancipation in Cuba which
Spain has made to the civilized world and
particularly to the United States. The So
called "Planters' Pian," which he resists,
of freeing only the very young and the very
children yet to be born and adults
upon reaching sixty years of age--is plain
fraud upon the treasury as well as an eva
sion of plighted faith. 1t would enable
masters to foist their incapable slaves upon
the public charge and retain the strong and
the vigorous, and by thus relieving them
from the burden of caring for the disabili-
age it would give them advantages over
any other class of taskmasters in the
world. Inevitably, also, it would add
fresh stimulus to the slave trade with
Africa. This is not emancipation in the
sense in which Spain has made promises to
Christendom. General Campos knows bet
ter, probably, than any other Spanish
statesman how inevitable it is that those
pledges must some time be substantially
redeemed and how temporary must be oil
the schemes of evasion and duplicity.
Without being in any degree sentimental
ist-on the contrary, having proved him
self o thoroughly practical administrator.
both in Cuba and at home-yet he is sensi-
BILE how powerful an influence the con-
science of a people has become in modern
government, and il he now resigns Office he
does SO in full faith that that influence
must call him to it again.
We will not affirm that immediate and
unconditional and universal emancipation
is the wisest policy for Spain to apply to
her colonial slaves. But it is evident that
this PLANTERS Plan" does not really mean
emancipation at all for several generations
certainly not for period reaching far be-
yond any which is consistent with her
pledges and her welfare. There is no ele-
ment Of stability in it. 1t will not remove
Cuban slavery from the arena of discussion.
It is trick for the propitiation of slave
owners. and the fact that its advocates are
the strenuous opponents Of a tightening OF
the oppressive commercial regulations
which hamper the prosperity OF Cuba and
impair its intercourse with the United
States bears additional testimony to the
utter selfshness of their motives. There
is small hope that any Spanish Ministry
which attains power by the downfall Of
General Campos will dovise a consistent
and comprehensive plan of Cuban reform
and pacifcation. More tricks, more eva.
sions, more embarrassment OF our concerns
with Spain and her colonies are every thing
that for the present We are warranted to ex-
pect.
