WHERE II HURTS.

The Republican orators and organs who
have been bowling themselves hoarse about
the way that Republican officials have been
turned out by the present administration,
evidently have not been looking up the Off
cial figures. 1t has been eighteen months
since President CLEVELAND was Inaugu-
rated and yet there are 81, 600 of the post
offices still in the hands of the Republicans.
That does not look much like clean sweep.
1t is not because the Republican office-hold-
ers are being turned out so rapidly that the
organs are bowling. IL is because the adj
ministration will not permit those who are in
Office to be made the victims of blackmail-
ing political assessments. There is where

Religious convention.

Special TO the Globe
PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 2.-To-morrow
morning at 10 o'clock will open at
Valley camp, one of the most important
meetings of the clergy ever held in this
country. 1t is the first conference of the
kind and is styled the Observation-Disclosures
convention. One of the pleasing features
of the convention will be the presence of
many prominent ministers of the United
Presbyterian and Covenanter churches who
will have part in all the exercises. The
latter denomination has never before united
in a conference such as this, and the step is
one that has caused much rejoicing among
the other denominations. The object in
thus holding an INSTRUMENTATION con-
vention is twofold, not less to promote a
greater unity between the different denomi-
nations than to discuss great questions af-
fecting the religious and political life OF
the people of the United States, questions
which each church is interested in, and
which call for united action from them
all.

sAILBoAT DEATH TRAPS.

A local lesson of very deep interest and
profit can be derived from the terrible yacht
accident which occurred last Saturday near
Sandy Hook, and in which six persons lost
their lives. While the yacht which capsized
was reasonably seaworthy boat, her skip
per, with astonishing careleSsness, was carry
ing in the face of an approaching storm an
amount of canvas only permissible in
gentle breeze AS natural result, the mo-
ment the squaf struck her she capsiZed, and
the loss of life of course took place. 1t is
a matter of wonder that accidents of this
| kind have not been of more frequent &C.
curence upon Minnesota lakes. With the
! excellent opportunities sailing has become
favorite sport in this state. 1t is
pursued, however, with a reckleSsness
which is simply appalling. 1t is doubtful
whether there are on all the lakes half
dozen so-called yachts which are really sea-
worthy and safe. The vast majority are
simply sailpoat death traps. Everything
| seems to be sacrificed in their construction
to speed and symmetry. and no regard has
apparently been paid to staunchnesS and
safety. The merest shallops are fitted with
sails, and bits of boats hardly fifteen feet
| long. with a scantiness of beam which is
actually murderous, are furnished with jibs
and provided with an extent of canvas a
twenty-foot cat boat on Eastern water would
hesitate to carry. The result IS
the boats are cranky to a degree,
and, except in very gentle breeze, are
of the most dangerous description possible.
Il hoe boo dina ,,lu tO rrOnd ln0l- on6 tho
lack of severe wind storms that accidents
have not occurred during the present
season.
The first essential to be regarded in the
building of pleasure yacht should be
safety. If speed is also attained, we'll and
good, but everything should be subordinate
to the one fact that the enjoyment OF this
most delightful form of sport should be
rendered possible in the least dangerous
manner. With breadth of beam and
an expanse of canvas reasonably pro-
portionate to boats length, the
danger is reduced to minimum. The OPP
posite course seems to have been pursued
in the yachts which sail Minnesota's lakes.
They should never be taken out except by
the most expert sailors, and then only
when the passengers are prepared. If neces-
sary, to swim for their lives. 1t is indeed
serious question whether some legal
enactment should not be brought to bear to
render the construction of yachts used on
state waters more in accordance with the
rules of safety. In the meanwhile the
present frail craft should be viewed with
the utmost suspicion and used with the
fullest caution. 1t is better to avert an ac-
cdent than to moralize over its results.

THE HARLEM FLATS.
Litigation for the Possession of This
Valuable Property to Begin Mex,

MONTH.
Special to the Clone.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. ar think we
Will be ready about Sept. to bring suit in
the United States circuit court of New
DIRK to establish our claim to the Harlem
Flats property" remarked Attorney j. II.
Creery to reporter this afternoon. THE
amount of the land in dispute is not over
l,5OO acres, of which al least one-third is
marsh land, unfit for anything at present,
but which will be valuable eventually.
During the past year or two there has been
reclaimed OF this marsh land by filling in
over 100 acres. The land alone to which
we lay claim is worth over $40, 600. 900.
Ihe inhabitants of this territory, in order
to prove valid title, must show
undiSputed possession for over twenty
years. we are prepared to prove by the
records OF the court that at least 500 houses
nave been built on this property within the
past i've Years. The owners have not a
shadow to title and are virtually Souatters.
VI the buildings erected within the time
mentioned is one apartment house. worth
at least $500, 900. Many others are valu-
able but not so commodiouS nor so elegant
as this structure. The Improvements are
worth at least SIS, 600, 600 bringing the total
value of the property claimed by us to about
S15, 600, 600. There are now about 800
claimants, but out of that number.
when it comes to proving heirship
in court, the number will be re-
duced 10 less than 500. The original grants
bear date of 1886, or twenty years after
Manhattan island was settled by the Dutch.
Subsequent to that time and prior to 1712,
the date the first deed was recorded in New
DIRK. the claimants will have to rely Oh
personal records, such as Bibles, some Uf
them $50 years old. containing the births
and deaths from that time down to the
present time, with marriage licenses and
unrecorded deeds as connecting links The
grant to the first five patcnteeS embraces
$500 acres, of which subsequently they
sold about 5000 acres. The 1,5OO acres we
lay claim to lies along the Harlem river, in
the city of New York. running from Ninth
street to One Hundred and Fifty-tfth

claim. and | am willing to stake my pro-

MIR. GILF1LLAN,s SPEECH,

Viewed as the argument of an attorney
in support of clients claim, Mr.. GILFII-
LAN's speech ON the Northern Pacific land
forfeiture bill was a very creditable one
The argument is most plausible and well
constructed, and the stockholders of the
Northern Pacific road certainly have no
reason to find fault with Mr.. GIL
FILLAN's maiden effort in congress.
whatever that gentleman's constituency may
think of it. A notable feature of Mr.. GIL
FILLAN's speech is that he borrows and
dovetails right into his own argument a
speech delivered by Mr.. 1GNATIUs Don
NELLY In the house of representatives in
support of the bill which gave these land
grants to the Northern Pacific Mr.. Don
NELLY'S speech at that time was one of
his characteristic brilliant efforts, and fits
in MI. GILFILLAN's speech at this time
like a fly in amber. The senti-
ment Of it, however. does not harmonic
altogether with Mr.. DoNNELLY's well
known views on land grants at this particu-
lar time. There is no question but that
if Mr.. DoNNELLY could have the good luck
to get back into congress in the near future
he would make speech which would
knock the stutfing out Of the speech he once
made in the halls of congress in favor of
granting subsidies to railway corporations.
1t was piece Of refined irony in Mr. GIL
FILLAN to use Mr.. DoySELLY's speech in
this connection. 1t Is altogether probable
however, that Mr.. DoSEELLY will find oc-
easion TO get even with the Fourth district
congressman in due time.
Notwithstanding that Mr.. GILFILLAN's
speech was credtable legal argument.
there are great many things about it that
will have to be explained when Mr.. GIL
FILLAN comes before the people, asking for
renewal of an expression of public conf
dence in him. That is a matter to be con-
sidered later along, and when the time
comes Mr.. GILFILLAN must expect 10 be
called upon to answer a few pertinent
questions from people who do not own
stock in the Northern Pacific.

spalding and the Detroits.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO. Aug. "A New York morn
ing paper published an article rejecting
severely upon the official conduct of Presi-
dent A. G. Spalding of the Chicago base
ball club. 1t charges that he is stock
holder in the Detroit club; that he is
maneuvering with the Detroits to keep the
championship from the New Yorks. and
that last year for the purpose of attaining
his object he secured four of the old
Buffalo team for the Detroit aggregation.
President Spalding is in the East at pres
ent. but his brother Walter spoke in his
behalf to-day. He said:
1.-THE article is tissue of falsehoods and the
man who wrote it knew it was lie. My
brother never owned a dollars worth of stock
in the Detroit club. 1t would show great lack
of judgment on his part if he did, because at
the time this writer claims the stock was
bought, the Detroit club was nearly $4,000
in debt. He had nothing to do with hiring
the Buffalo players. He has always been
conscientious in his dealings with the other
managers. anybody who saw the games be-
tween the Detroits and Chicagos would know
they were fairly played and fairly won and
that there was no hippOdrOming.
