THE ADVOCATE.
Yawls an 4 Sharples.

The centerboard sloop is by most
thought the fastest kind of yacht, and
very many successful racers, from the
big Volunteer to the little twenty
footer winners in yacht club regattas,
have no doubt been sloops. But the
sloop rig is not by any means the safest
and handiest for comfortable cruising.
The yawl and sharpe are much safer
and handler than the catboat and sloop.
The yawl has an extra sail set at the
stern. This is called driver" ''miz-
zen. bigger" or dandy" and it is
veritable friend in need at all times, re-
quiring no care, and being always
ready to save you from capsize and
to help you in every maneuver. It's
position is such that it always tends to
luG the boat
: If squall strikes a yawl she may
right herself because of the pressure
on this little driver; if severe blow
comes on you can sail in safety with
iib and driver alone, the mainsail being
furlcd; in fact, the yawl with her main
sail down is perfectly manageable and
as safe as can be.
No reefng is necessary; just lower
the inainsail, and your yawl is "reefed"
at once for the worst kind of weather.
There is always plenty of driving sail
behind, and with the jib in front to
balance this your boat is under full
control. No sloop or catboat possesses
such attribntcs OF Eandness and safety.

There arc some significant elements
In the action Of the Democratic State
Convention in Ohio on Wednesday,
which renominated James f. Campbell
the present Governor. His denomination
was foregoDe conclusion, but it was
not unanimous, his opponents refusing
20 make it so, although he received the
denomination BY more than two-thirds
vote. Those who refused to vote for
his nomination will probably refuse to
vote for him at the polls, and this will
mean his failure to receive by no means
inconsidsrable number OF the votes of
his own party. The full Democratic
vote in Ohio Ia sufficient to elect Dem
ocratic candidate against the full Repub-
lican vote, to the extent probably of
some Is 900 or 10000. The party
has by the resolutions of its plat
form opened its campaign with a
demand for free and unlimited coinage,
which indicates how the dishonest free
silver craze has captured the Demo-
cratic party. Twenty-three Democratic
state conventions have now declared for
free silver and the consequent and iuevi-
table imitation of the currency. The
Ohio Democracy deserves a. overwhelm-
ing defeat as that which it met in 1853,
when 1t nominated Valandingham and
L., 10 h., al
disunion element, 1t Is not unlikely
TO receive such defeat, especially in view
Of the facts that he cannot command the
full vote Of his party and the uuanimity
and enthusiasm Of the Republicans in
their support of Mr.. Mckinley. When
the full meaning of free silver is actually
realized it will make the prospect of
Democratic success In that state anything
but brilliant. In It's reviews OF the action
says: without uuanimity and without
harmony evenss TO the platform, Cover
nor Campbell of Ohio, has been renomina,
ted. His party places him before the peo
pie regardless OF the strong objection 10
his personal conduct in executive office,
and Of the strenuOu; sntsgenism among
members of his own party. 1t nomi-
mates him on a platform, also, which
embraces free coinage of silver and
uncompromising opposition to the pro
tective policy. \ minority report was
submitted to the convention on the silver
question but was voted down. The
majority resolved In favor OF a graduated
income tax, while the minority proposed
to strike this from the platform. The
radical difference between the two ele
ments was substantially that which lies
between the conservative and right
thinking people of parties, and the
socialistic and revolutionary element
which the Farmers Alliance at the West
rpDresents"

The question a. to the real inventor Of
the ineandeseeat electric lamp has for
some time been pending in the United
States court, but Judge Wallace OF New
York. has just rendered a decision sas.
tanning the priority Of Mr. Edison "a it.
inventor. The first form OF electric
Illumination was the arc light, made by
the passage of current through carbon
POINTS While suited 10 large areas this
form was untitled to house or desk light
ing, and the problem which Mr. Edison
.olved was the production Of smaller
and much less powerful electric lamp
The idea, roughly stated, is that 40
electric current Of small force passes
into thread Of carbonized bamboo con
fined In an Theoretically sealed glass
bulb reduced to vacuum. But for
the fact that no absolutely perfect
vacuum Ia producible by art the lamp
would practically last forever, but as 1t
Ia has d long duration called its life,
in the course Of which it yields sub
stantislly perfect illumination of much
less intensity than the are. The full
comm crcial value of his Invention did
not occur to Mr.. Edison for some years,
but in those years Others saw further
into the future, and their use of his dis
covery, without challenge from him
bore severely against him when he walked
to the necessity of asserting his rights
Justice has fiually very clearly been
done by the decision.
