The principal event in yachting circles this
season will of course be the race for the Amer
lea Cup-unless, indeed, England becomes H.
volyed in war, and Lieutenant Hem, owner OF
one of the competing boats, is thereby pre-
vented from coming. As this great race VIII
doubtless be followed by minor ones, IN when
the Galatea and the Genista will take part
these contests. in addition to the usual races,
Corintbian and otherwise, will keep the lovers
of ocean sports busy-and happy. if they win.
NJ. Ferry is a man Of nerve, but he will dread
to face the Chamber of Deputies after this last
news from China. The reverse at Dong Dong
WAS bad enough, and although the Premier
10 in a
Chamber bravely the Government on Saturday
only succeeded in passing to the order OF the
day by majority of 46 out of 500. This Is
not strong support al best, and it Will be sur
prising if the Gefeat of the French troops at
Langson is not followed by the defeat of the
Ferry Government at Paris.
The New York Post Office is not the only one
in this State fondly sought after by hungry
Democrats A pretty little conflict Is waglng
over the Post Office at Elmira. Governor Hill
has a man for the Office whom the antl-lilll
faction in Chemung County is opposing bitterly.
The situation has an especial interest Tor out
sders. in that the result will be taken as an in
dication of the wishes of the President in re-
card to Mr.. Hills nomination for Governor this
fall If Mr.. Yeomans goes in, the fair inference
is that Mr.. Cleveland wants Mr.. Hill to be his
own successor.
Secretary Lamar touched a tender spot in
the North hwhen he ordered the Stars and Stripes
TO be hauled down half way in memory of the
traitor Jacob Thompson. The act is widely
denounced, not only in the Republican papers,
but by one or two respectable Democratic
Journals. Some of Mr.. Thompson's friends
a Iox~n Nfoip of ha
harsh things that have been uttered about
him. Nothing but good of the dead" they
cry. That is all very well. The loyal news
papers, indeed, would have been glad to say
nothing; but Secretary Lamar has forced them
to say great deal.
The pomp and circumstance of preparing to
mt down Riels rebellion in the Northwest are
apparently giving the Canadians much pleasure
The troops who have been put under arms are
full of enthusiasm, and so is the crowd that
watches their preparations for departure. The
chances are that the trouble will be suppressed
without much difficulty, but still the pros
pective campaign will hardly be picnic ex-
cursion at this time Of the year. Spring in
Manitoba is anything but balmy, and the
Toronto troops will be likely to need the extra
1annes so kindly presented to them by their
tOwnsInen.
The increase in litigation is becoming a
serious evil in many States, and complaints
are heard from all directions that JUS
tice is practically denied to citizens owing
to the delay in the courts. The New-Jersey
Legislature has just taken the first step toward
the establishment of a Court of Appeals in that
State, and there is talk at Albany of
appointing commission to help our
Court of Appeals catch up with its
work. The movement in New-Jersey is
all right, as it looks toward the founding OF a
permanent court but such a commission as is
proposed here is only makeshlft at best. The
regular courts ought to be able to administer
justice and settle disputes promptly without
calling in outside help every little while.
