American yachtsmen ought to realize, and we
believe they do, that this Is the most important
lesson for them that has been taught by the
international contests. This greatest OF our
victories for the retention of the Americas Cup
must not lull us to sleep nor dull our apprecia-
ton of the restless nature of our British
cousins in their pursuit of international
supremacy They will come back, as Captain
Carter intimates, with boat built especially to
combat our sloop models and they will not be
a whit slower to take advantage of our errors
than they were when the Genesta beat the
Puritan by making long tacks from Dix Island
to Buoy No. 10, or when the American almost
lost the race by standing in toward shore when
she ought to have been making Roadway
directly for the lightship.
From the tone of the English press it Is safe
to say that our defeated adversaries have been
taught an even more significant lesson by their
recent experience. They are candidly acknowl-
edglng that their old time prejudices against
centreboards will have to give way. They
have done with their contemptuous references
to cOntrvances for shifting vessels
bottom" and are slowly and almost ruefully
owning that speed is the first law of boat
building.

FARRAR ON LANG UAGES

BALTIMORE, Oct. / Special .-Arcbdeacon Farrsr
made address to-day TO the students of Johns Hop
kns University and to u large audience in the Acad-
envy of Music. In the Of his remarks lie SAID:
" Fifty years ego no educational establishment,
comprehensive in its range this university existed
among the English speaking nations OF the world. Tho
old systems then in vogue were, however, happily
more honored in the breach than in the observance.
While some boys profted by the scheme, others of
equal talent and merit like Sir Walter Scott sent
forth Ounces In history they were deficient, and
may say, that they not taught to write Latin and
Greek. The Greek they wrote would make an
Athenian schoolboy laugh Happily, that day is past,
and 1 am happy to say that have contributed my
share toward giving the death blow to that system Of
training The Enthusiastically of making every boy write
verses IN languages he does not understand has hid
its day. All that has been changed, and honor IL
given every branch OF human know ledge. My object
not disparage the classical studies. but only TO
destroy the autOcraey of those ancient languages. l
only pleaded that they should not be exclusive but
do not to that wish 70 have them excluded.
The study of those languages has now become
sciences do without the vast stores of learn
ing that accumulated In the literature OF Greece
aud Rome Latin. the language OF law and empire,
instinct with the spirit of NATIONS grand aud dignded,
should always live since it is of the nobiest Of
instruments of thought that the world has produced.
II csc languages the Latin and Greek contain some
of the finest gems of thought that the mind OF man has
conceived The former is the language Of legislation
and revelation, and it the means through which
of the most important discoveries in science were
communicated to man.
:. How different are the pleasures of him who passes
through the world seeing and hearing from those of
the man who is deaf and blind TO what ia going on
aroU nd him. Hundreds OF discoveries are still to be
made by men of trained and observant minds. What
immense stride since the days of your immortal
BENJAMIN Franklin in the OF electricity! The
lightning of which we still stand In awe Is nothing
more than what a lady might brush from her cats
back or from her hair with brush. Science re-
veals to Us two infnites. 1t begins in wonder and
ends in wonder andt is the great arc hangel OF mercy
devoting itself the welfare of the human race" Be-
fore concluding his address Archdeacon Farrar adj
monished his hearers particularly the students that

mnd and they must recoect that behind the tsnets OF
education there the man, who, If he would fulfil his
noble mission in this world must be true to himself,

The ATToRYEY-GENERAUS SETTLEMENT

The ATTORNEY-G GENERALS SETTLEMENT
1t is gratifying to be assured by Attorney
General Garland, who has returned to Wash
ington, not only that he did not authorize the
bringing of the extraordinary proceedings
in Memphis intended TO break down the
Bell telephone patents, but also that he posi-
lively refused to entertain an application for
such authorization and never mentioned the
subject to the Solicitor General, who did grant
the authorization in his absence. So far good
But Mr.. Garland has yet many things to ex-
plain.
He cannot deny that the machinery of the
Department OF Justice, of which he is the head,
has been used in an unprecedented and I'M
warranted attempt to overthrow the re-
peated decisions of the United States Courts
for the profit of schemers with whose interests
he was most intimately allied. A Cabinet
officer who holds $1,500000 of telephone
stock for which he has given no equivalent,
should get rid Of his stock or resign his position,
when his fellow stockholders make such au-
dacious attempts to peryert the powers of his
Department to advance their own private
interests and his own. How could any honest
and honorable officer of the Government come
to any other conclusions

his ally Leonard at once. COmm0n-sense
people see that Hoadly and his supporters are
talking about license, though knowing per-
fectly well that no license amendment can be
adopted in the State, while the Republicans
frankly advocate taxation of the traffic 80 long
as that remains the only constitutional mode
of regulating it. Then the presence of St.
John in the State, fresh from consultation
with President Cleveland and Postmaster
General Villas regarding the removal of Repub-
lican officials, is regarded as the height of
impotence, and the exposure of Leonard's
personal conduct, contrasting 80 sharply with
his extreme professions, has Disguised sincere
ProhibitOnsts, who are not willing to and the
Democratic party or to follow its hired tools.
Another point has been brought out clearly
in recent speeches, namely, that the unusual
depression which exists Immediately followed
the election of the Democratic free trade Con-
gross in 1882. Till then there had been
extraordinary prosperity. Since then, wages
have fallen, according TO one statement from
Toledo, from 81 80 to only so cents, and mills
and mines are closed in all quarters of the
State, and Judge Foraker bears witness that he
found oats selling at - cents and corn con-

Valley, and thousands of men are out of work.
These effects of Democratic policy are felt by
the people, aud it does not help them to have
Governor Hoadly boast that his crOnies in Wall
Street have been lifting the price of stocks.
The only danger which the Republicans fear
is fraud in registration and in the counting of
votes, for which it Is evident their opponents
are preparing. A recent exposure at Cincin-
natl throws much light upon their method it
is shown how the precinct in which Judge
Foraker and Governor Hoadly both live was
fraudulenty made to give a Democratic return,
though it actually cast Republican majority.
These things remind the people of Judge
Thurman's indignant letter regarding the
machine with money" and the political cut
throat bossism inaugurated for the benefit of a
close party corporation or syndicate" But the
people elsewhere urge Ohio not to forget that
the control of the United States Senate may
depend upon their votes, and that control of
the Senate would give the Democratic party
power to reorganize and pack the Supreme
Court, and thus to overthrow the entire system
of laws established for the consolidation of the
results of the war.

SHALL A PAL or TWEED BE ELECTED

SHALL A PAL or TWEED BE ELECTED
GOVERNORP
That is the question which the voters of this
State will be called to pass upon in November.
1t is frequently asserted by Democratic news
papers and Democratic stump-speakers that
current Democracy in New York is not to be
confounded with the Democracy of the Tweed
era. Confronted with the unparalleled cor
rupton and profigacy of the Legislature of
1871, Democratic in both its branches and con-
trolled by Tweed, they reply that the past is
dead, that the party has thoroughly reformed
since the days of the Boss and is to be judged
by its present character and tendency.
But what are intelligent people to conclude
in regard to the Democracy OF 1855, when they
find in the Democratic candidate for Governor
pal of Tweed David b. Hill was member
of that infamous Legislature of 1871. lie
helped by his vote to make it infamous. Tweed
was Senator and Hill was an Assemblyman.
When Tweed took snuff Hill sneezed. What
Tweed shamelessly devised, Hill, along with
other plant tools of the Boss, executed. The
TRIBUNE has already directed attention to the
more notorious of the jobs which Hill in his
shameless subserviency to Tweed had the
hardihood to support He supported the
fragrant Erie Railroad outrage. He supported
the plunderng tax levy. He supported the
glaring fraud on the ballOt-bOX, contaminated
in the unseatiDg of Twombly. He supported
the measure which struck down the Registry
law. In other words, he was what he has been
named-a pal of Tweed, his accomplish in
legislative iniquity.
If one turns from Mr.. Hill the legislator to
Mr.. Hill the business man, he comes upon
additional and very significant facts establish
ing Hills intimacy with Tweed. Tweed
purchased an interest in Mr.. Hills Elmird
Gazette. He got it in 1S70-not in 1871, as
was inadvertently stated in yesterdays TRIB-
UNE-and having kept his stock not quite
year he parted with it soon after the adjourn
ment of the Legislature of which he and
David b. Hill were members. Whom did he
sell to- To Hill And if to Hill, what was
the consideration Was it merely Hills
valuable services to the Ring in the Assembly
There is warrant for these questions, and for
answers to them in keeping with Mr.. Hills
unsavorg record.
Hence intelligent people are forced to one of
two conclusions-either current Democracy Is
as untrustworthy as was the Democracy of
1871, or else, having reformed, it had the dire
misfortune to fall into the hands of the old
set y at Saratoga In either event 1t is incum-
bent upon all citizens who believe it would be a
public misfortune to place Tweed survival in
the Executive Chair to array themselves
against Hill.

TIE EASTERY CRISIS

The condition of the Turkish army goes far to
dispel apprehensions of war. 1t is wholly I'M
prepared for campaign in any quarter. There
are no troops in readiness to receive marching
orders, no military stores held in reserve. no
staff competent to organize an army, no admin
istrativc capacity in the Sultans Council such
as was displayed by Midhat in filling an empty
Treasury and preparing for the war with
Russia A diplomatic conference was opened
yesterday precisely as one was held on the eve
of that great conflict, but the circumstances arc
essentially different. Turkey had been fight
ing with one and another of its vassal States ;
it had armies in the field it had made prepare
tons for war on n large scale to rcpel an in
yasiOn from Bcssarabia; and it had ut the head
OF the Ministry statesman of remarkable ex-
ecutivc ability. 1t was forcwarned and armed
and equipped for war; At the present crisis, it
has neither soldiers nor munitions, neither
allies in Europe nor money in its treasury nor
facilities for borrowing neither policy nor
War Minister.
The European conditions may also be con-
trasted with those under which the previous
conference met. Then both intrigue aud
diplomacy had exhausted their resources the
combinations between Continental Cabinets

arrangements in Berlin and Vienna for an az

ing an army on the Pruth and Lord BeacOnsiied

support of England in blocking the advance of
the Northern Power. The European Govern
ments knew where they stood and understood
the drift of coming events. At present, on the
contrary, the situation is slroudcd with unccr-

that the fewer newspapers the Republican

THE TEMFEST At JEROME PAR1.

THE TEMFEST At JEROME PAM.
When Pierre LOrilard's colt POntico was run
up in the bidding after selling race at Jerome
Park yesterday from 81 800 to $50 ZOO, the
oSner Jumped to the conclusion that there was
a bookmakers' conspiracy on foot to swndle
him, and, rushing up into the judges stand, he
expressed his views on the subject with start
ling vigOr and emphasis. Philip Dwyer
feeling aggrieyed by the tone of Mr.
Lorilard's highly personal remarks,
reiortcd in kind, and for time
the atmosphere in the usually peaceful
precincts of the judges stand was as fully
charged with electricity in condition of vio-
lent disturbance as the air of any Democratic
caucus ever held in Police Justice Duily's dis
trict. Comparative peace was restored finally,
and Mr.. Lorillard gets back his colt for S7,0O5
instead Of ST. 1908. But he can't get back at
any price the strong language which he uttered.
Mr. Lorillard was extremely impetuous and
used expressions which he now doubtless re-
grcts. Mr.. Dwyer must be sorry that his
wrath carried him so far beyond bounds that he
talked loudly about riot. Mr.. Withers is
man of uncommon resolution and courage, and
there is not likely to be- any rioting on any
course where he is the guiding spirit. Some
apologies for hasty words are certainly in or
der, but if this unfortunate affair results in
lessening the number of selling races and in
excluding bOokmakers' horses from respectable
race-tracks, it will have done an immense
amount of good
