John r. Mclean is still a young man but It Is
years since ne attained an unusual success with his
newspaper. Now lie has just demonstrated his
mastery Of the Democratic party in Its old strong
holds in Ohio. Washington Mclean tho Warwick
of the Western Democracy, never had firmer grip
on the machine in Hamilton County than his son
has Just shown. Judge Hoadly is wise in trying 10
make peace if 1t be too late for this campaign
He Is slow in nnding out that John Mclean is now
a bigger than old Pepdleton; but he has found
it. IL he could also make peace with McLean's cor
respondent, Woodward. IL might be better for him
still. But not for this campaign That is settled.
Not this year-some other year.
Democracy pretends to be passionately devoted TO
Civil Service Reform. But George II. Pendleton ia
nothing il not the leading Civil Service Reformer of
his party. and Saturday he was given tho
blacklist of black eyes. In his own State. in the
house of his friends. Any gentleman who thinks
that comment is necessary will be furnished upon
application with a hearty commentator to the
Utica Asylum.
The excellent ladies' of tho Woman's Christian
Temperance Union are now engaged in discussing
among other subjects the pernicIous effects of beer
upon the human frame. Beer consumed in immOd-
crate quantities undoubtedly results in a great
variety of ply steal evils, though the harm done by
whskey. But one illustration Of the ravages of
lager which was presented at the meeting of the
union yesterday seems singulary ill-advised. 1t
vas stated that beer makes dull and slow, and
that the beer-drnkng Germans who fought in the
war OF the Rebellion sluggish and inactive.
In view of the bravery and efficiency Of the German
soldiers in the Northern armies and In view of the
universally recognized fact that the army of beer
drinking Germany is the swiftest, surest and most
deadly military machine the face of the earth, it
might be we'll to revise this statement,
Milwaukee paper reports that Racine, Wis, is
losing ground rapidly owing to the encroachments
of Lake Michigan upon her shore line. Ii Racine is
indeed losing ground rapidly" then she is in a
position to sympathize with Judge Hoadly.
Mr. Gould shows no disposition to accept the
challenge of that bluff and hardy mariner Mr..
John Roach, who wants to race his steam yacht
Yosemite to Cape May and back, against Mr.
Gould's yacht Atalanta. the winner to take both
vessels Such contest would excite more interest
in yachting circles than anything that has 90
Cured for long time. 1t is bold offer on Mr.
Roachs part for not only would his yacht be at
stake but also his reputation as a constructor of
fast vessels If Mr.. Gould should lose the ATLANTA
be could draw his check for another and faster
yacht without much dscomposnre. But the loss of
the race would mean good deal moro than the
mere loss of his yacht to Mr. Roach. 1t is little
singular that with all the talk of steam yacht
matches and steam yacht regattas result is
reached. The owners of these vessels no doubt get
a great deal of pleasure cut of them in cruising.
and they seem content to leave trials of speed to
