CAMP so,s DISARMAMENT.

Some ado has been made over the al- legged disbanding of Camp 20 of the Clan na-Gael at Chicago, and it is broadly in- slnuated by some that it went out of ex- istence because its records contain evi- dence that Dr Cronin was tried and con- demned to death at one of its meetings. This silly twaddle is of a piece with much of the nonsense that has char acterized all the proceedings in relation to the Cronin tragedy.
 So far as we have been able to see, there has been on the part of the Clan na-Gael nothing but the most earnest desire that the man or men who are re- sponsible for Dr Cronin's taking off should be discovered. From the very first Clan ma Gael men have been ener- getic in all the efforts made towards un- raveling the crime, and there has been no disposition on the part of any to with hold information concerning the organization or it's workings that might be useful in advancing the ends of justice. We have the word of Luke Dillon, Michael Breslin, Edward Spell man and other men prominent in the order that the Clan-na-Gael had nothing to do with the murder of Dr Cronin, that it condemned the deed unequivo- cally and unreservedly that it had no de; sire that the murderers should escape punishment, and that it was willing to spend plenty of money in running down the persons who were guilty of the crime. And we have plenty of evidence that money has been spent literally by the mystery. The testimony of men who have right to speak for the organ ization, and who stand for good order and good morals ill the communities where they belong, ought to be satisfac- tory proof to unprejudiced minds that murder is entirely foreign to the objects and nature of the Clan ma Gael. Whether or not Clan-na-Gael men murdered Dr Cronin, we believe it will be found, when all the facts come to light, that the Clan-na Gael as an organization, or Camp 20 as camp, had no more to do with the tragedy than Queen Victoria or Lord Salisbury.
 The disbandment of Camp 20, if it has any significance beyond the natural breaking up of a body that stands in the shadow of suspicion and censure, might be construed as determination not to allow any of the secrets of the camp or its books to be used by the London Times i'll its warfare against Parnell. It is well known that British secret service money is flowing like water in Chicago at this time, and if it were possible to get at any of the Clan-na-Gael books there would be little difficulty in counter feiting or concocting evidence to con- meet the Irish leader with the physical force party i'll America. That the Lon- don Times has not been able to do, and it would be worth millions to it if it could manufacture presumptive evidence of such connection. The disbandment of Camp 20, therefore, If it has dis banded, will bring regret only to those who are working in the interest of Eng land and the London Times. It will not injure the Clan na- Gael nor seriously disturb the friends of Ireland who have naught but execration for the murder of Dr Cronin.

For all the resemblance the thing has to the young gentlemen who are upholding the blue on the Thames to-day it might as we'll be labeled Jack the Ripper or pigs in clover. If the Yale crew fail to bring a libel suit against the Register it is be- cause they have little of vanity in their composition.

AMERICA RULES THE WAVE

The backdown of the Royal Yacht squadron in regard to the valkyrie and the Americas cup is an open confes- sion of England's inability to compete with America in the matter of racing yachts. From the day when the Ameri- ca, now owned by General Butler, went across the ocean and won the cup to the present, there has been no time when it seemed possible that any English yacht could recover it. America rules the wave in this particular line.
 It must be humiliating position for British sportsmen to be compelled to acknowledge without race that any cutter they construct is unable to com pete with our crack center boards. The fate of the Genesta, tho Galatea and the Thistle, which had full chance to study the sterns of the Puritan, the Mayflower and the Volunteer, probably warned the British sailors that the Valkyrie would haveno chance againts any of them. Dis czetion is more shining quality than val or with British sportsmen, and so rather than bow once more to the superiority of our racers the Royal Yacht squadron refused to accept the new deed of gift of the cup. As it is supposed the squadron objected to that clause in the deed which requires that in future challenges for the cup the challenger shall send thesz mensions of the boat he intends to put into the race, the New York Yacht club is perfectly justified in shutting out the Valkyrie until it Is settled that the con-. ditions of the new deed shall prevail in the future holding of the cup. It is an however, that Lord Dunraven will bring his VaHyrie over and enter her in some of the less consequential raCes, 90 that Americans will have a

chance after all to send the boat back beaten.
 We have no idea that the Valkyrie will win any race in which our best cen ter-boards compete. They arc superior in every respect to the British cutters and have shown themselves so on all oc- casion. America rules the wave so far as racing yachts are concerned.

Kendall Green Is about two miles from | Washington, and Is one of tho most l charming places in all that beautiful country. It suggests more bit of Eng 1 lish than American landscape. Thero are hundred acres of gently rolling and there with soft-toned red brick build- | ings, the homes of the president of the college and the professors. In the center is the college building of brick and white stone, handsome and imposing. Around the place Is a low ivy-grown wall of stone, and at the main entrance Is a picturesque lodge-a pleasant place truly for those who arc mover to hear the worlds broken harmonies nor raise their voice In sor- row, joy. or song.
 Amos Kendall, whose name Is perpet- uated in "Kendall Green" who was ono of the readiest and most powerful politi- cal writers at the capital, and who was postmaster-general during Jackson's ad- ministration, gave ground and started the Columbia institution for the deaf and dumb thirty-two years ago. Amos Ken dall had not much of q fortune when he left the cabinet, but in 1S45 he became associated with Samuel F. B. Morse in the ownership of his telegraph patents which, he, Morse was in danger of losing. Kendall successfully protected them and by his enterprise and ability aided In se- curing their success. His connection with them made him 0 rich man and in his declining years he turned his attcn- tion to works of philanthropy.
 Tho pupils of the Kendall school were then mainly from the District of Colum- bia. He called Prof. Edward M. Gallau- det, the son of Dr. Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet. from Hartford Conn.,, to take charge of the school. and he 1t was who organized fiat that time a primary school. Prof. Gallaudet gave the sub- ject of education of deaf mutes his most thoughtful consideration and study, and was determined that to them should be available the highest education, and that they could follow the most intellectual pursuits If they wished. To this end he labored. In 1864 congress was asked to amend the charter authorizing the di- rectors of the Columbia institution to confer collegiate degrees, and in the fall of 1864 the college, tho only institution of the kind in the world, was opened with seven students and ono professor in ad- d1tion to Prof. Gallaudet, the president. Since then students have come from all parts of the country, representatives from thirty-four states having attended, while several have come from Europe to enjoy advantages they could not get at homo.
