Yacht smen's interest is centred upon the re-
eatta tomorrow, and the four Boston yachts
are the special object of attention. The Puritan
easily distanced the Atlantic yesterday and
bids fair to add new laurels to those she has
already won. The Ruth, however, walked
away from the Gitala in surprising style. 1t
will be the part of wisdom not to announce the
winning boats until after the regatta is sailed.
The idea of setting apart one Sunday In the
month of roses for services in which children
take large part is a good and growing one.
Too often the sermon and the hymns and pray
ers contain little to interest or attract the
Younger members of the family. Yesterday
vas Schildrens day" in many city churches
and the occasion was made pleasant with an
abundance of flowers, music and suitable ad-
dresses.
During the Third Avenue strike some foolish
strikers made threats of burning the company s
stables, and care was taken that none OF them
should have admission to the buildings. A
guard is still maintained. If a fire of mysteT-
ious origin should break out there, suspicion
that it was the work of incendiares might be
aroused. There is little ground for this sus-
picion in connection with the burning OF the
car-stables in Forty second-st There was no
special grievance against the company, and
there had been no strike except when the gen.
eral tie-up took place. The building however,
could have been easily entered and some dis
charged or dissatisfied emplOye might have APP
plied the match. The president of the CON-
pany frankly says that he does not know
whether the fire was the work of an incendiary
OF not.
Nearly six months have passed since the So
called Scrip Committee" of the Bridge trus-
tees was appointed, and now it is announced
that practical test of the one system accepted
with a view to experimenting is soon to be
made" The need of new grip or change in
the present one was shown by the two acct
dents early in the winter. 1t is true that
nothing of the kind mas happened since but it
is equally true that there had been long
period of immunity from mishap before those
accidents occurred. That there was a chance
that the grip in use might fail to grasp the
cable tightly was made clear, and yet nothing
has been done TO remedy this defect beyond the
appointing of the committee, which has dallied
with its work until now. This is good speci-
men of the trustees success in showing how
not TO do it.
Mr. Gladstones manifesto, while it contains
nothing specially new or startling, shows no
fal;ng-ofi in the Premier's ability to express
what lie has to say in clear and vigorous Ian
guage The issues to be passed upon he puts
in clearest light. He denies to his opponents
the name which they have chosen for them
selves-that of Unionists-and insists that the
union which lie is king is a real one while
that which the opposition refuse to modify is
only paper union obtained by force and
fraud. There is less union between England
and Ireland now than under the settlement of
1882. The plan of an Irish Parliament is not
al innovation, but a restoration. Although add
dressed to the electors OF Midlothian, Mr.. Glad
stones appeal is meant for the country. 1t is
the keynote of the campaign and will, friends
of Ireland everywhere hope and believe, meet
the response which it deserves.
The plan to introduce manual training in
public schools is one that may wisely be
furthered. What is being done in this direction
by the Superintendent of Public Instruction
and the Com missioner Of Labor Statistics is
pointed out in letter from our Albany CORE
Dpondent. The course of instruction in our
