THE GREAT MArcH At CREEDMOOR.

The feeling is now general that the Amcri-
can team is TO meet with defeat III the inter
national match TO be shot at CreedmoOr on
Thursday and Friday of this week. The Brit
ish rillemen come to this country with a high
reputation, and their practice has shown that
this is fully deserved. With all the unfavor-
able conditions that men shooting on new
ground in a new atmosphere and after a long
journey must encounter, they have rolled up
excellent scores, and have accustomed them
selves so quietly and easily to their novel
surroundings rs TO justify the strongest conf
dencc that their shooting in the great match
will compare favOraby with the best that
they have ever done at Wimbledon. But the
match is not yet shot, and it is possible that
the Americans may have surprise i'll store for
us. They have an admirable captain, and the
team is composed Of good material. 1t is true
that there have been hints that there were
some trivial iealOusieS and d,cOntents under
the surface, and that every mans heart was
not i'm the work so entirely and earnestly as
might be and should be. If there has been
any dissatisfaction or lack of zeal i'll any
quarter it has probably passed away. 1t GER
tainly must be overcome OF all hope of the
success of the team must be abandoned. A
cam that does not pull together rs one man
must fall as surely as any house divided
against Itself The British team seems to fur
nish model to all others in this respect. 1t is
made up apparently of IA harmonious earnest,
Jealous a lot of marksmen as were eyer got
together
Of course Americans want their representa-
tives to win if they can. But there will be no
soreness or burning if they do not.
America has had such brilliant series of sue
cesses at the batts since the first international
match in 1874 that she can well afford to be
defeated this time. Sir Henry llalford and
other British Tiilemen have tried So hard and
so long to wrest a victory from this country
at the ranges that they certainly deserve to
win at last A defeat this year will excite new
interest in rifle shooting in this country and
incte our maTksmrn TO more earnest efforts
They have been 50 uniformly successful before
against the best shots Of the world that posi-
bly, they have grown a little careless and in
different. Certainly there has been no such
general enthusiasm over brilliant craftsmanship
on this side OF tine water a there was III l. a,
1876 and 1877. \ defeat may be just what Is
needed TO stir the pride Of American rilcmcn
and set them at work harder than ever before.
If we are beaten this year, the match at
Wimbledon i'll 1858 will command the most
eager attention.
But however the contest of this week may
result it is n satisfaction to see an intcrna-
tionnl rivalry that is 50 fair and honorable and
manly. In nothing relating TO this match, or
any of the preceding international matches.

The conditions of mountain climbing seem
to he exceptionally hazardous this season.
The number of fatal accidents has been I'M
usually large and many of the victims have
been conspicuous for their intrepidity, expert.
ness and powers of endurance as Alpine travel
lers. The list is headed by the lamentcd Pro-
fessor BalfOur, who had not only won Il fore
most place among the rising generation OF mcn
Of science, but had also acquired in intervals OF
recreation an experience which gave HIM II
high rank among the group of Englishmen
fre1uenting the Alps in search of eXhilaIatlng
adventures. Mr.. Pcnhall is another English
man whose death cannot be attributed to any
lack of courage, self-posscssion and expert
ence, and like Professor Balfour, he was ac-
cOmpanied by a most trustworthy guide The
young German student named Schenkler, whose
body was found at the bottom OF preclplce
on the Great st. Bernard, was simply reckless
and foolhardy, for he was raw mOuntaineer
who had dispensed with the services OF guide
and lost his way in fog. The charge of in
experience cannot be brought against Herr
Rutti, who was killed in making an ascent of
the wilde Krau III the Bernese Overland, for
he was one of the veterans OF the Swiss Alpine
Club The death of Mr.. Gabbett adds another
prominent name to the list of victims Al
though he had failed to achieve such marked
success AS had fallen to Professor Balfour's
lot. he had made an excellent start in ii studiOus
career, having won IL reputation at Oxford
and become at IN early age IL lecturer in the
University of Durham. He was also us much
at home among glaciers as among books.
Season after season he had repaired to the

The Utah Commissioners report that under the
Edmunds act the names Of about 10000 Mormon
voters will be erased from the poll lists. The voting
population of Utah is about $4,000, of which not
over 5000 are Gentiles. This leaves the Mormons
a majority of 5000. Had the Commissioners con-
strued the act as to dlsfranchise the women. as
the Gentes claimed the Commission had q right 10
do. the Mormon voters would be In minority.
But the Commission wisely held that 1t had 70
right TO dislranchise anyone not living
IN poygamy. AS general thing Gentle
ladies refrain from voting, but now, since tho
approaching contest will be close Is likely that
they Will be prevailed upon to exercise that prlyi
lege for which the strong minded OF their have
clamored 50 long and so loudly If woman suffrage
is needed anywhere 1t seems that the Gentle ladies'
of Utah are the ones that should desire It most.

to be based on only 375 returns from IA many

from over 5000 correspondents, have not
proved sufficiently accurate. Nevertheless, the
prospect is that the yield of corn will be de.
cidedly larger than that of last year, though
there Is no evidence as yet that it will approach
the great crops of 1879 and 1880. The fall
in prices last week was about . cents in red

weak, and the markets at Chicago were greatly

The price of cotton declined on Monday one-
sixteenth Of a cent, but has since been steady
at 1921 cents for middlng uplands. Reports
of excessive rain at the South, and compare.

1t is said that the preachers of Paterson took
occasion yesterday to impress upon those OF
their CONGREGATIONS who braved the dangers OF
contagion and attended church the lessons
taught by the visitation of smallpox. Inc
lesson is very plain and anybody at as
lance can read it. If the authorities had done
their duty in the first place the disease would
not have attained the fOOthOld that 1t has
The good people of Paterson have brought
this sore alfliction on themselves by their neg
lect. We trust they are manly enough to
take that view of the case, and not to throw
too much responsibility on an lnscrutable
Providence. If they have rcpented we look TO
see them bring forth fruits meet Tor repent
ance in the future-to keep their city
clean and their tcnemcnt-houses from beng
overcrowdcd; to see to it that the Health
authorities do their duty, and that the pest
house is guarded so that patients cannot escape

nit from the Mayor Mr. kirkland ought
to have obtained the necessary permission be-

of reason that he was prosecuted for right

1t is worth while to note how few disturb
ances Occnr at the beaches at COney Island
and elsewhere III the vicinity of tins city
Considering the thousands upon thousands of
all classes that 20 down to these resorts by the
sea each season, and tho freedom with which
all kinds of liquor are sold, the immunity from
disturbance which respectable people have en-
joyed speaks highly for the management of
the hotel proprictors, as well as for the charac-
ter of the guests. The shooting of the man
Josephs at West Brighton is about the only
serious affray that has broken the serenity of
the summer. The police seem to he efficient
without being Obtrusive; but above all, the
people are good-natured and orderly.
Taken as a whole the Post Office employees
OF this city are probably as honest body of
men as can be found in long days journey,
but still it seems to be necessary TO take as
many precautions against dishonesty among
them as if they were all utterly without in
tegrity. Unpleasant as this may be to think
about, the result is beneficial. The Post Office
detectives declare that it is absolutely impos-
slbe for any employe to steal even the most
trifiing sums without being detected. dis
honest career is guaranteed TO be ended in
three or four weeks. There may be some per-
sons of lax principles on the force but if
they only understand that they are sure
to be found out, they will probably be able to
resist sudden temptation more easily. The
fate of the carrier Kenney who was arrested
yesterday, hangs over them if they do not
