BY SIX CLEAR LENGTHS.
CornelI's Crew Defeats the Uni
yersity of Pennsylvania Boys.

New LONDON, Conn.,, June 26.-The
Cornell university crew scored victory
to-day by defeating the University Of
Pennsylvania crew by six lengths over
the three-mile course In the fast
time of 14:46. Pennsylvania time was
1902. The fast time was due largely to
the fact that a strong eDb tide was run
ninswith the crews. The race, how
ever, was very quiet and uninteresting.
especially after the first half
mile. As that flag was reached
Cornell pulled away from the Quaker
boys and gradually increased the lead
and easily held all they gained to the
end. Pennsylvania caught the water
first, stealing nearly length on Cornell,
the latter's boat not being headed
straight. Pennsylvania started off with
SO strokes and Cornell 40. Both crews
were pulling in good form and fought
for the lead. Cornell moved up on
even terms after the first quarter,
and then both crews spurted. Pennsyl-
vania ran up to AZ and Cornell to A.
This was the decisive and only inter
esting part of the race. Pennsylvania
held her place until exactly opposite the
first half-mile flag. Pennsylyan ia
could not keep up the squirt,
and dropped to 80, while Cor
nell, rowing 40, moved quickly
to the front and soon showed clear
water between the two shells. The
Pennsylvania crew then went to pieces
and gave a very poor exhibition of
rowing. Cornell is celebrating the vic
tory by the usual noisy demonstrations.

Babylon and Athens.

New York Herald.
These census rivalries and quarrels,
especially out West, are amusing. 1t
looks as if President Harrison may be
compelled to call out the troops to main
tain the peace between Minneapolis and
st. Paul. The journals TEEN with re-
ordinations, and the citizens of the
two cities are as far apart as the Capu-
lets and the MOntagues.
Manhattan, sitting enthroned amid
her seventeen hundred thousand sub
iects, can look with complaisance upon
the quarrels of these villages and towns.
But, friends. is bigness, after all, the
best thing for city?
A man may swell until he wobbIes
and walks sideways, but he will have
neither comfort nor strength.
Let Minneapolis and st. Paul emulate
one another as to which is the better
city. awaiting the day when the census
taker of virtue and public spirit come.
Babylon was mighty city compared
with modest little Athens. Babylon is
only dreary memory, but the beauti-
full light of Athens has Illuminated the
ages, and is still seen and honored.

PAYING PARTY DEBTS.

The ladies are about as much inter-
ested in the tariff question as the men.
Take. for instance, the article of cotton
velvet. Y is comparatively cheap
article, and greatly in use by those who
have regard to the cost of material for
clothing. The present duty on it is 40
per cent ad valorem. In reforming
the tariff on protection principles this
was raised to IS per cent in the
MCKINLEY bill. The senate, however,
has improved OH this, and put the pro-
lection I'D to 1T per cent. Those who
are required to pay this extra price, in
case the bill passes, should cheerfully
presume that some contributor to the
campaign fund needed the recompense.
The party in this case was the Cromp-
ton company of Rhode Island, which
has a credit of $4,000, on Mr..
QUAY's list in the presidential cleo
ton. This company has a monopoly of
the manufacture of cotton velvet in this
country, and is wealthy, able to take
a basketball of the $40 certificates Mr.
QUAY has to dispose of. Fortunately
for it, Senator ALDRIcH, of Rhode
Island, was on the tariff committee of
the senate. The skilled labor employed
by the company is said to have been i'm

RECKLESS REPUBLICANS.

The Republican party is more reck-
less than daring. Secretary BLAINE
says that the MCKINLEY bill will wreck
the Republican party if they pass it..
And yet they are going to pass it..
Senator WoLcoTr said the Republicans
could never carry another Western
state if they defeated the free coinage
bill. And yet they defeated it. Both
BLAINE and WoLCoTT are high Re-
publican authority, so that it cannot be
a case where the wish is father to the
thought.
The Republican leaders have taken a
stand in bold defiance of popular senti-
ment, and openly array themselves as
the champions of monopolistic privi-
lege. They assert the right of Wall
street to dictate financial policy for
the nation, and claim for the monopo-
lies the power to rob the individual
citizen of his earnings. What use there
is for such party in free country is
one of the problems of politics.
And yet the position taken by the Re-
publican party ON the silver question
and the MCKINLEY bill is thoroughly
consistent with its past history. The
difference is that formerly the Republi-
can leaders sought to conceal their real
motives and purposes, while now they
have unmasked themselves and have
placed their party before the American
people in its true light.
The Republicans have been encour-
aged to assume this sudden attitude of
boldness and defiance by their implicit
faith in the power of money to control
elections. In addition to that, they rely
on the compact organization of the cor
poration interests as opposed to the dis
organized condition of the labor and
agricultural classes. They are puffed
up with pride on account of the sue
cess of their methods in the last presi-
dental election. Yet it may turn out
to be ''the pride which runneth before
destruction"
Mr.. VANDERBLT's notable remark,
1.-THE public be damned" gave the first
impetus to the popular movement
which eliminated in the passage of the
interstate commerce law. 1t conveyed
to the American mind the imperions-
ness of corporate power, and aroused
the American people to the necessity
for bringing the corporations under
government control. Now that the
Republican party is so boldly de-
fisnt of popular sentiment In
regard to the tariff and currency
questions, there is strong probability
that the American people will have an
other awakening, with the result of dis
placing from power a party that is
too reckless to even keep up a show of
respect for public opinion. The Amer
lean people are slow to be moved, but
whea they do move they move rapidly.
