which had thousands of claims to adjudicate
upon, involving the taking of testimony In
all sections of the country and all parts of
the globe, should be run by two men outside
OF the judges, is too stupid or pig-headed to
reason with. Congress is made up of men of
common sense at least, and it knew that one
lawyer and clerk would not be sufficient

The learned judge from Kentucky, however,

they wipe their hands and faces. The tax

WE KEEP THE cup,

The story of the Americas cup, often
wrongly called the Queens cup, is a short
one. On August %, 1851, during the progress
OF the Worlds Fair in England, the Queen
was at Cowes awaiting the finish of a grand
regatta open to the yachts of all nations Be-
coming somewhat impatient, she at last ex-
claimed, 'Signal master, are the yachts in
sight?" Eyes, may it please your Males
ty." (which is first?" The America. !"
(Which is second?' 'sAh, your Majesty,
there is no second" 1t was really so for the
America had left her seventeen competitors
80 far astern that her second was nowhere
in sight. The now famous cup was brought
to this country and for thirty-four years has
been successfully defended by American
yachtsmen. The result of yesterdays race
gives it another lease of life in America. We
have, so to speak, again beaten the English
at their own game.
There is a vast amount of national pride in
the matter of these races. But aside from
that leaving out of the account entirely the
international competition, such contests are
of great Importance in determining, as far
as possible, what is the ideal type of marine
architecture which involves the least resis-
lance and the most speed. The result of the
race in 1851 was a complete revolution in
yacht building in England. The America
settled the immense advantage of the wave
bow, the fiat rail and the right position of
the largest cFoss-section of the hull. The re-
suit Of the series of races between the Puri-
tan and Genesta will not bring about any
great revolution in building, but it is likely
to vindicate the wisdom, comfort, seaworthi-
ness and speed of the centre-board model
which has received its best development
along the New England coast. twas not, tech
nically speaking, race between cutter
and slo0p, for while the Genesta is
an extreme English cutter the Puritan
is not an extreme American sloop. The Pu-
ritan model is unlike anything ever built be-
fore. She is sloop and yet not sloop;
cutter, and yet not cutter. Perhaps about
half way between, and what will sometime
be called the American cutter to distinguish
from the cutter of the English model Yet
she possesses enough of the sloop in breadth
of beam and hallowness-though she is not
the Swimming dish," as she has been called
to justify the claim, in a race of this kind,
that her success was due to Sloop's advan-
tages. Still she has in her composition as
much of the cutter as is valuable, with that
part which is mere drag left out. This finely
illustrates an American characteristic, our
capacity to take from all quarters that which
is best adapted to our ends, throwing away
the rest. There is one thing more that is
especially gratifying to American pride.
Not only did the Puritan outsail the Genesta,
but, Notwithstanding the accident of last
week, the Puritan's sailors fairly outsailed
inc Genesta's, as a careful review of all
points In the races will show. Americans
can herein find immense satisfaction.

After all the shouting about Republican
corruption on the stump last summer, the
Democrats deem it necessary to find some
thing to back up their assertions. If no evil
dence exists, it must be manufactured. So
investigations are making into the different
branches of the service by commissions. The
investigations are purely &c parte affairs, in
which no chance is given to reply to the evil
dence produced, and generally the first
knowledge the public has of them is flaming
proclamation from the head of some depart
ment announcing the discovery of astounding
extravaganza and fraud. Auditor Chenowith
has just been conducting one of these alleged
investigations into the geological survey, and
OF course his commission reports great dis
coyeries. Among other things it is alleged
that Prof. Cope of Pennsylvania and Prof
Marsh of Yale College have virtually stolen
property belonging to the government.
Neither of these gentlemen is given chance
to be heard before this charge against them
is scattered broadcast throughout the coun-
try. 1t is miserable business this branding
men of national fame and unclouded reputa-
ton as thieves without allowing them to
know that charges are made against them
even or giving them an opportunity to be
heard. But the administration calls it re-
