Especial pains should be taken to-day by the
sailing-masters of the various craft going out to
see the yacht race, not only to avoid accidents,
but to keep from interfering with the Puritan
and the Genesta. They should keep to leeward,
and at such distance from the course that
there will be no danger of the swell they raise
reaching the racers. In this matter the sailing
masters will be upon their honor only. The
police boat will not venture outside of Sandy
Hook, and would have no authority outside
ANYWAY.

up iirst-class Democratic campaign trump. To be
sure. 1t is not new and has been heard of once or
twice before; but it's far more concenial than

nounced Tweed in scathing terms. The subject

real estate market in this city is somewhat diff
cult to obtain at this time but careful inquiries
for THE TRIBUNE show only slight changes IN

that rents are down; Others deny this. The

If Mr. Hill had been as diligent in other
directions as he has been in his efforts TO secure
the domination for Governor this fall, he
might have turned out to be truly good and
great nan. For months he has been laying his
political wires, and be is now much less certain
of success than some weeks ago. Flower is
undermining him in the country, and Cooper
in this city, to such an extent that Mr. Hill sits
in most anxious seat. Possibly he will dis
cover later that although his diligence has not
made him great or good it has left him sadder
aud wiser.

Friends of Mr. Hiscock, of Onondaga, it is

he does not wish it. If Mr.. Hiscock's mind re-

move strong man from the field Bnt, candi-
date or not, the representative from the XVIII
Congressional District is q man whose opinion
In regard to political matters is always val
liable He thinks that in deciding to hold their
convention before the Democrats the Republi-
cans have shown wit and courage. They have
nothing to fear in maintaining their old habit
Of advancing an affirmative policy.

The cable dispatches speak of an ultima
tum as having been sent to Germany by
Spain. The substance of the communication
indicates, however, that it should not be called
by so warlike a name. Bismarck is re-
ouested" to evacuate the Caroline Islands
Spain for her part promising to refrain from
occupying them. The tone of the official Ger
man press meanwhile is studiousy conciliatOry
toward the Spanards; but covert threats at
tine French for rejoicing at the situation may be
read between the lines. Partisan journals
therefore may now be expected to calm down.

The principal suitors for Tammany's hand
this fall are Messrs Cooper and Hill, and just
now Tammany is coquetting boldly with both
of them. With either it will be a marriage of
convenience, utterly devoid of sentiment, and
moreover. this somewhat antique political
splnster will take precious good care that her
settlements are generous. Thus far a candi-
date for the Office of Sheriff is the only thing
which seems to be allotted to her, but far
share Of judges and coroners viii be certainly
Insisted upon. Tammany will not promise to
vote for either Cooper or Hill without sure
guarantee that pledges made with her in regard
30 spoils will be kept. The County Democracy's
reputation for keeping faith is so bad that
security for the settlements is one of the most
important factors the union which Tammany
Is likely TO make.

PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA

Prohibition presents the most important
issue now before the people of Georgia. In
many aspects 1t is amenacing issue. In every
sense it demands the earnest and immediate
consideration of every intelligent and patri-
otie citizen Of theState. The Situation brief
ly is this: The Prohibitionists have carried a
large majority Of the counties by voting in
each county under local option provisions,
and are now seeking to make local cover the
counties that have not yet acted. Up to this
time the prohibition issue has been kept out
of politics. Now, finding their movement
delayed in the Legislature, they threaten to
carry the issue into politics. With this threat
they challenge public attention, and demand
prompt and decisive action from the Legisla-
ture. Justhere it will be well to examine
this threat and see just what it means. 1t
cannot be denied that the result Of forcing
prohibition into politics would be deplorable,
viewed from a political standpoint. 1t would
threaten the integrity of the Democratic par
ty in the State. Certainly it would impair
its discipline. 1t might even temporarily
overturn it. We shall not underestimate the
evil that would come to the Democratic par
ty from the prohibition issue if it is injected
into notifies.

RIEL'S ESCAPE,

To hang or not to hang seems to be the on
ly question which our neighbors across the
border are discussing with anything like ami
nation. 1t is curious and not very edify-
ing spectacle, this division of the population
of a great and enlightened country into two
hostile camps, one shouting Justify for the
execution of Riel, the Northwest rebel, and
the other demanding that his life be spared,
and threatening dire vengeance in case it's
request is refused The question of the con-
demned mans innocence or guilt, of his san
ity or insanity, seems to have been entirely
lost sight of and his sacrifice is demanded by
the English press apparently not so much
to satisfy the demands of justice as to graft
fly the hate which the English speaking pop
ulation bear to the French Canadians. The
Peronto World declares that if Riel is par
doned by Sir John A. Mcdonald at the in
tcrcession of the French, he will discover
that in making one friend he will ALLEVIATE
one hundred, and precipitate war of races"
On the other hand Electeur, a leading
French newspaper of Quebec, declares that
Riel is prosecuted on account of his race and
that reign of terror exists which recalls the
disturbed countries in the old world The
feeling between the two races has been a
good deal intensified recently by the
statement Of Father Andre that the
troops of General Middleton robbed the hous-
es of the French in the Northwest and plum
dered everywhere. The English are dis
posed to deny the truth of this assertion, but
Father Andre gives names and dates, and his
story is supported by others, who allege that
they were eyewitnesses of the scenes.
The situation is, of course, sgiving the
Premier, Sir John A. Mcdonald, great un-
easiness. The report that he had manifest
ed an inclination to mitigate the sentence of
Riel has given rise to perfect storm
of protests from the press of his own
party, accompanied with threats to over
throw him unless he allows the law to take
its course. 1t is a very disagreeable and
dangerous predicament he and his govern
ment are in, and how to eXtricate themselves
from it is problem no solution of which has
yet been discovered. To hang Riel is liable
to excite the French Canadians to open
rebellion. TO commute his sentence is to ali
enate the Orangemen and overthrow his
party. Which horn of the dilemma to choose
Sir John is at loss to decide, and he is pro-
crastinating in hopes that something will
turn up to absolye him from the necessity of
making choice at all

John Roaeh's schedule shows that he could
pay his debts, two to one, as he has himself
said, if he could realize upon his assets. They
foet up $4,571,742 against $2,154,9O9 liabili-
ties. Some of the assets would shrink a
good deal, if forced to sale. The Morgan
iron-works are put in at 100000, the Ophir
farm at White Plains at 100000; 1000 shares
in the Brazil steamship line are put in at S25
per share. There are half dozen steamers
and other steamer stocks.

The Democrats of Cuyahoga county, Ohio,
at their county convention mildly endorsed
the administration, but adopted resolution
demanding "eur senator and representative
to hasten the removal of all Republicans in
Office, and that efficient Democrats be placed
in their positions" Some of the delegates
favored condemnation of the President, but
it seems to have been the opinion of the ma
jority that that wouldn't be good way to
get offices, and so the mild endorsement
was agreed upon. Unless the President
hurries up after he gets back from the Adj
rondacks we may be pretty sure that it will
soon be impossible to restrain the hungry
and thirsty of Ohio from open revolt.

The voice of Petroleum V. Nasty is heard
throughout the land in loud lament because
the President has gone to the ''Adirondax'
without signing his commission. For forty
long years, according to his testimony, he
has labored in the cause, dispensing whiskey,
colopizing voters, lodging the draft and
waiting for office, and now when he stands
with his petition all signed and everything
all ready the President carelessly goes off
fishing. He laments that Mr.. "Hendrix'
was not elected to the first place on the
ttikkit' and Cleveland to the second. Mr.
Nasty thus not only represents the feeling
Of the what-are-we-here-for Democrats, but
of the whole party. They are willing he
should take vacation, but they dislike to
see any let up in the important business of
filing up the offices.
Prof. Brewer of Yale College, who knows
something about horses, thinks that the next
generation, if not this, will see two-minute
trotttr. If it does, about one hundred years
win have elapsed, while the trotters have
been lowering the record one minute. Since
1918 when Boston Blue made the wonderful
time of three minutes the record has been
constantly dropping, slowly to be sure. In
1924 Tom Gallant gave to an astonished
world the ''2.4O gait" and at the same time
the current slang for speed. In 1884 Edwin
Forrest went round the track in 2313, rec
ord which was not beaten for nine years. In
1859 Flora Temple made a mile in 2.163 to the
amazement of the whole country. The ex-
ploits of Dexter, Goldsmith Maid, Rarus, st.
Julian and the champion Maud S. in later
days are familiar to this generation. From
Maud SIS record to two minutes is a big
drop, but there are hundreds of horsemen
who expect to see mile made in that time
before they pass in their chips" as they say.
