THE YACHT RACE TOMORROW.


T. il idle TO speculate upon what the result
will he in the great international yacht races
for fine Americas cupc the first of which will
take place tomorrow over an OUTSIDE COURSE
twenty miles to wndward and return. If there
is n good breeze and not too rough sea, 1t VIII
certainly be q superb contest. NO two such
vessels ever were pitted against each other be-
fore. The value of the trophy for which they
sail is not to be estimated in dollars. lAe
vessels themselves are the most advanced types
Of the science of yacht building as it exists To-
day in the countries they represent. National
nride and reputation are staked upon the issue.
The British qualification in the event OF the
conesta,s victory, and our humiliation in the
event of the Puritan's defeat will both be inten-
si6ed over that which would be felt in another
contest. even though it involved, as this does,
the Yachting supremacy of the world, because
the historic trophy al stake has been the pledge
of an uninterrupted series of American
+,irunbs since il was first sailed for and won,
thirty -four years ago.
As a test of the superiority of the two types
of boat no race could be faircr, and the verdict
will be generally received as final and decisive.
This question enters into the present contest
os it has never entered into the earlier ones.
when one vessel is obliged to race whole
fleet it becomes Il mere scramble for the prize
Or when the champion is selected on the morn
ing of the event. and chosen specially to suit
the conditions of wind and water that prevail,
an obviously unfair discrimination is exercised
against the challenger. But in this case the
STRUGGLE is between two evenly matched repre-
sentative vessels each recognized rs The queen
of her native waters, each manned by repre-
sentative crew. and each chosen for her rcputa-
tion rs the best all weather champion.
Tomorrow will be a great day in New-lork
harbor. The pleasure fleet of the entire coun-
try will be floating there in one magnificent
squadron. Hundreds OF steamers, tugs and
launches. all the craft that can be spared from
the highways of commerce, will plough the bay
for the accommodation of such crowd OF
sight-seers as never before were collected to
watch n Yacht race. 1t will be glorious pan
Drama worthy of the event and Of the city that
makes il possible. We believe that the Amer
lean yacht will do her duty well, and we are
hopeful that the cOlOrs at her masthead will
wave with as cheerful serenity when the race
is over rs when she goes over the line at The
start.

THE ROCK SPRINGS MASSACRE.


For some months the contractors who work
the mines at Rock Springs, Wyoming Territory,
have been doing two things well calculated to
breed serious trouble. They have been import
ing Cinnamon in large numbers; they have
been discharging a proportionate number OF
white men to make room for this alien cheap
labor. There has been very serious trouble. 1t
came to a head on Wednesday. The men who
were Disseminated against rose up in their
unreasoning fury, not against q Q contractors
who were responsible for the existing state OF
things, but against those who bamelessly
profted by it. They murdered scores of
Chinese miners, hunted a still larger number
out of town, and burned all the Chinese dwell
ings of the place. The wretched victims were
treated with no more consideration than if they
had been 50 many mad dogs.
There can be only one Judgment in America
touching the treatment which those engaged in
the preparation of these arocious acts ought
to receive. Whatever their wrongs, they have
placed themselves without the pale of sympathy
by their brutality and should be made to suffer
the extreme penalty. Law, order, justice,
humanity, fair play, the good name OF the
country, unite in demanding that they shall not
escape. That there was much IN the situation
at the mines calculated to infame their
passions can readily be believed That they
" went fer the heather Chinee," smarting under
a sense of injustice, nobody doubts and large
portion of our people will doubtless conclude
that injustice had been meted out to them. All
the same, their conduct was without excuse.
Their wrongs were not made right by such high
crimes as murder and arsOn while the fact that
in their frenzied thirst for vengeance they
marked the innocent and the guilty alike for
destruction deepens the general indignation.
One result of the Wyoming massacre is
certain to be a revival of the vexed question of
Chinese immigration in all that it implies. 1t
is one of the burning issues Of the hour, and
the progress of events certainly tends to sustain
the views which the Republican party has
expressed in its National platform.

The character and work of John Roach we're
never so well appreciated by his countrymen as
since the attack of the Administration upon him.
American workmen especially have learned the
yalue of his services in their behalf, and the
talk about the millions in profits which he had
received from the Treasury has been shown to
be false. The political scheme which closed
the Roach ship yards is Observation-Disclosures
perhaps than the Administration would wish.
But this is not all. John Roach's personal
worth is also realized, and he is properly held
I'D to American youth as an example OF what
man unassisted may do for himself. 1t Is
pluck that tells, and the pluck of John Roach
is unsurpassed. Elsewhere in this impression
a Democratic friend of this American ship
builder describes how the obstacles In young
Roach's way were overcome. The story is a
valuable lesson for every boy.
The political campaign IN England hangs fire
except upon the Irish question. Mr. Gladstone
is back from Norway in better health than
when he left home but it is still uncertain
whether he can take part III the canvass. Mr.
Parnell, of all the leaders, is the only one who
has frankly announced his line of action. 1t

has met his demands with the reply "impossi-

that assertion in their mouths as they ought to
be doing. On the contrary, they are saying
little or nothing on that point. On all ques-
tons save this the Liberal party lacks unity
Everything waits for Mr. Gladstone.

raging in West Virginia--this time IN Clay County.

papers are making all kinds Of wild gucsses as to
its nature. The people think 1T is cholera, and
general panic prevails. About fry people. cniey
children, have been attacked. of whom more than
twenty have died. These meagre facts are all that
the outside world as yet knows about the disease ;
for Il is a strange fact that the remote regions Of
West Virginia and Kentucky are less known to the
rest Of the country than places thousands of miles
away. 1t Is possible that the fears of the people
may have magnihed some simple disorder into
deadly epidemic. At any rate, 1t will take some
