Ii Is not likely that any such crowd of people
Will turn out next Wednesday to see Ha1leq
and Riley row as lined the shores OF the river
last Wednesday, bdt at the same time it Is GER
tain that there will be enough spc GATORS
present to entitle their rights and convenience
TO some consideration at the hands OF the mar
ayers of the race. Ia this view it Is to be hoped
that the hour for starting viii be fixed long
enough in advance for full public notice, and
that then no change will be made nor any de.
lay allowed When It Is considered that i'm
menSe steamships and long heavily laden r..il-
way trains start every day of the year at the
exact time advertised, no good reason Is per-
Ceiyed why couple OF men sitting in little
boats. and In no wise dependant On the move
1entS of other people, cannot get under way
ct the precise minute announced. Athletes are
great folks, OF course, but they have no right to
k'U their whims against the time and comfort
of the public, without whose presence their
contests would be tame and spirltleSS indeed
In all the history OF this government but two
men have ever resigned seats in the Unite1
states Senate prior to the voluntary retire.
ment OF Gen. Gordon. The first was Henry
Clay, who resigned In 1912, his term then haT-
Ing about year to run His purpose was to
retire from public life and seek rest and repose
but he evidently found private life trksome. as
he was reelected to the Senate In 1SlS. Sen
ator Caldwell, of Kansas, resigned in 1878, but
under such circumstances that made it seem to
be not entirely voluntary act on his part
No Senator has ever, like Mr.. Gordon. retired
almost at the beginning of a term. He was
reelected scarcely more than year ago by
practically unanimous vote Of the Georgia
iegislature,-a compliment expressive OF con-
ndence that has seldom been conferred In the
election OF Senator'S Usually men struggle for
years 1or a seat in the Senate, often spending
the best part OF their life In their Efforts to
attain the seat, feeling that the honor and
dignity Of the position amply compensate for
the time and labor expended, and they are 10th

''De PTofundis." Mr.. Tennyson's latest poem
is published in another column OF to-day's
paper, not because we specially admire or un-
derstand IL, but, In the broad catholic spirit OF
true journalism, because 1t is the product Of
Englands chosen poet-laureate. and In the hope
that some OF our readers may find 10 1t beauties

The anttGrant republicans who are protest
Ing with so much vigor against what they call
the outrage perpetrated by the majority In the
Illinois convention, In selecting solid Grant
delegation and binding them firmly by instruc
tons, must have overlooked the fact that In
Nebraska the Blaine majority did precisely the
same thing In order to secure a united delega-
ton from that state for their favorite. The rule
must work both ways, and If 1t is Unfair and an
outrage In Illinois, 1t cannot be less unfair In
Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa, the Blaine states
which have denied the Grant minority represen-
tasion In their delegations In striving to ad,
vance the cause OF the candidate whom they
have entered for the presidential race, polit,-
clans are never very particular as TO the meth
ods they employ and usually, almost invariably,
where faction gets a majority it uses 1t with
as little conjunction as IL 1t were opposing po-
iitical enemies instead OF friends.
