OPENING SAILS OF SEVERAL CLUBS
The Numerous Happy Sporting
Events Of Yesterday.

Tie Jersey City Yacht Club opened the
season with preliminary cruise yester-
day. Everything was astir about the club
house early and the smoothing of spars,
tightening of rigging and furnishing of
decks was sight. 1t was about half past
ten O'Clock when Commodore Leon
Albeit, Jr., fred gun from the bow of
his yacht Nimrod and the commodore's
pennant was run to the peak
At first there was no wind and 1t looked
as though the cruise would degenerate
into most ignoDimous drift, but after
while most of the vessels managed to
work out into the channel where they
got away before away before a brisk
breeze. While waiting for the wind, the
fleet was visited by Governor Albeit in
his new steam launch, New Jersey. The
Governor had been over to Brooklyn to
attend the reception to Governor
Hill and was on his return when he fell
in with the belated crafts. The fleet re-
cetved the Governor with appropriate
honors and he went on his way Brig
adeer General William f. Albeit darted
in and out among the yachts on his saucy
little naptha launch, New Jersey, made
some sarcastic remarks about the pro-
gress they were making aud offered to
go into the towing business at salvage
rates. His kind Offers were not accepted
In the channel the yachts fled
away before spanking breeze. The
Gertrude, sailed by the veteran Cap
tain Ellsworth, got away first. quickly
followed by the Nimrod, with the Com
modore at the wheel and Fred Ockerhaus-
er's nautical eye on the sails.
Among the yachts which followed were
Katrina, Bessie, Water Witch, Wabasso,
Knight Templar, Three Brothers, Elfin,
Mile and Neomia.
The cruise extended to Coney Island
Point and when the vessels returned at
three O'Clock Steward Leib served a most
palatable chowder in the club house
pavilion. Commodore Albeit entertained
number of guests at supper on board
the Nimrod in the evening Among them
were John McMasters. William Clerk, of
New York; Robert Carter, Matthew
Jenkins and Fred Ockerhauser

Offensive weapons to fight in his behalf.
In this dismal situation of things, in
these storms of epidemic madness, wise
men thought it would be happy If they
ended in nothing worse than monarchy
nay. there were many who did not
scruple openly to assert that monarchy
was the only cure for the desperate dis
orders of the State.
"We have not reached that point yet,
and do not believe we ever shall; for
have an abiding faith in the good sense
and sober Judgment of the people and
in due time. but is not the
fact against which / animadvert
notorious? At the polls how many of our
sovereign American citizens think it no
discredit to demand at least the price of
a days work, if they can get no more, in
consideration of their vote? And how
many who preside at the ballot box
think it no disgrace to nullify honest
votes by multiforn frauds.
AN ELOQUENT PERoRATIoN.
Men and fellow CITIZENSHIP you l ap-
peal in behalf of the institutions founded
by our fathers, is it not time to crya halt?
The way to destruction is easy. Against
the inroads OF some social and political
wrongs the laws now and then seem to
be powerless. But with you remains an
effective weapon.
''To establish a government founded on
the consent of the governed our fathers
pledged their lives, their fortunes and
their sacred honor. To defend it the sol
dier has braved the storm of battle. To
maintain and give it yet grander
proportions, the statesman tolls in his
cabinet. the scholar in his study, the
orator on the platform, the judge on the
bench, the clergyman in the pull
pit. For it the Christian prays in his
closet, the honest man goes to the
polls. All are equally worthy OF the name
of heroes for all are working TO one end
the preservation of freedom, truth and
justice, and the perpetuity Of a govern
ment which conserves the equal rights of
all and Acknowledges its just powers to
come from the consent of the governed. y

MR.. WILLIAMS ANSWER.
He Tells What He Pays for Help in
His Office,

EDITORS HERALD--In defense of my
self agains the infamous lie presented to
the people of Los Angeles by Eugene
Bassett, recording secretary of the p. P.
F. No. SO, at ITO S. Broadway, as to the
scale of wages paid in different job
printing offices.
The "cold facts,'' as he gives vein to
call his makeup of untruthful state
ments, are distributed to the public by
the "famous rat Office" because they
feel the sting of the united laboring
men, and are using their ''cold facts" as
last resource to win the sympathy Of
the public. The boy referred to as re-
ceiving two dollars per week under my
management, resides at 229 West First
street. Eugene Bassett, recording secre-
tary of the p. P F. IS, informs the public in
his ''cold facts" that the boy run foot
power press ten hours per day, which is
an infamous lie. and l defy him to prove
his statement. The boy did not begin
work for me as press boy, but as an
apprentice in the Office, my regular
press boys receiving from So to 50 per
week. Hoping the people of this city
will not allow themselves to be led
astray by such falstiers as Bassett rep
resents, am respectfully yours,
