be raced for again, canoeists OF all ma
,.o.ls TO be admitted to the competition.
In 1887 the association visited new
spot, Bow Arrow point, in Lake Cham
plain, one of the most beautiful OF all
camps. After going to Lake George
once more III 1888, the association then
went to the Thousand islands, and in
1890 it held salt water meet at Jessups
Neck, Peconic bay, Long Island.
Last year, from Aug. to Aug. 81, the
association met once more on Lake
Jhamplain. It was the first time within
it's history when the meet lasted three
weeks instead of two. The longer time
given to it proved to be such a success
that the meet will be of the same length
this year. 1t has also been decided to
hold the meet at the same place on Lake
Champlain, which is known as Wills
borough point. The surroundings are
all that can be desired. The lake is at
it's widest breadth, about ten miles, at
this point. Directly across is the -four
ishing city of Burlington, in Vermont.
II is about twenty-five miles due north
to Plattsburg, and perhaps sixty miles
southwark to Ticonderoga.
Next year the meet will go to Canada,
it being the turn Of the northern division
to select the camping site. There are
now four divisions in the association,
for it has grown to membership Of
about $500.
The present officers of the association
have worked hard and faithfully to
make the meet of 1892 success. The
commodore is Charles V. Whine and the
purser is William B. Wackenhagen,
both of Albany, it being the turn
of the central division to have not only
the chief officers, but also the location
of the meet. The limits of the meet
are from Aug. to Aug. %, inclusive.
The middle one of the three weeks will
be devoted to racing, and all kinds of
contests will be called, from the profess
sional sailing for crack boats down to
simple gymnastics that almost any
canoeist can perform.
The canoe is particularly adapted for
daring and perilous voyages, and in the
hands of a skillful navigator is not nearly
SO dangerous craft as is generally
imagined. The canoeist sits in the
center of his canoe, or hangs over the
edge, and the rigging is so arranged
that he can raise his sails, reef or take
in sail, and manage the vessel without
moving from his seat, and he can ride
triumphantly over the stormy pillows
without fear of being swamped. In
deed, there are many records of canoe
lists having weathered storms that would
have been fatal to the yacht.

International Tugs-of-war.

For some little time rage has pre-
vailed in San Francisco for "tugs-of
war;" one nationality being pitted
against another. A result Of this craze
was very comical little scene wit
messed in one of the more private streets
near the limits of Chinatown. Five
small Cinnamon in their pretty bright
silk dresses were holding a "tug-of-war"
with five white children. None of the
little ones appeared to be more than nine
years old, and the play was got up and
managed entirely by themselves with an
amusing correctness Of detail.

DIR PARkaIIRsT.


DR.. PARKHURsT. who a year ago
made a. famous crusade against crime in
New York city, has not abandoned his
efforts for the cause of morality. He
has recently divided the metropolis into
1,137 districts, and plans to put each
district under the supervision Of a young
man of high character. Each young man
is to act as sort of patrol and inspector
in the territory assigned him. He is to
see that vice gains no foothold- there,
and if tries to he is to eXtirpate and
destroy it. DIR. PARKHURST, in other
words, proposes to introduce into the
department of law and order the meth
DDS of organization which have given
Tammany hall its political power and
prestige. He is going to have decency
maintained by the diligent efforts of a
colps of lieutenants who will be sever
ally responsible for particular districts.
The press has criticised the reverend
reformer with greatseverity, but there is
no question about the partial success of
his work. With practically no assist
ance ne has changed the outward ap
pearance of city of million and a
half of people. He has reduced enorm-
ousIy the number of evil resorts and
driven thousands of absolute men and
women to other places. The weakness
of his method has consisted in the re-
operative capacity of lawlessness. He
might close den of iniquity tonight,
but unless it were watched, it would
open again tomorrow. He hopes to
meet this difficulty by his new scheme.
If he can find l, 1877 men as energetic, as
persistent and as seIf-saerifieing as HIM
self. he will succeed, If he does not, he
will have waged a futile warfare against
human deprayity. His is big under
taking. and he shows the spirit of a
great conqueror in daring to attempt
the task.

IN THE COURTS.
A Trust Company Against Dead
Insurance Company.

Considerable interest was manifested
Yesterday in Judge Egan's court, where
there is Oh trial the case OF the st. Paul
Trust company, as receiver Of the North
Star Mutual Insurance company, against
Horace A. Taylor and several of the
directors of the defunct insurance COM
pany, to recover $4,000 claimed to have
been wrongly applied by the directors
about the time the insurance company
went to the wall. There is an array Of
able attorneys for the defense, while G..
N. Bell and Harvey Officer appear for
the plaintiffs. The Introduction of the
evidence is slow, because it is Of a
contested character, for the most part.
There are about hundred points i'll the
offers of testimony. The court seemed
to lean to the view that certain evidence
relied on by the plaintiff is lmmaterial
and inadmissible; this led to a PROPOSE
ton by the plaintiff for leave to amend
the complaint. Judge Egan refused to
grant the motion for leave to amend,
after prefaeing his decision with an ex-
tended statement to the effect that the
trust company has been faithful In ad-
ministering its trust as receiver. and
that the business shonld be wound up.
He also referred to the fact
that over 81 per cent of a div
idend had been declared. The
plaintiffs then asked leave to dismiss
their suit without prejudice to the right
to bring new one. This proposition was
strongly opposed by the defendants,es-
pecially those who come from the state
Of Ohio or other distant states. Judge
Egan reiterated his belief that the in
tegrity and honor of the trust company
have been sustained by its efforts in
winding up the business, and that the
presentsuit should terminate the litiga-
ton. The motion to dismiss was de-
MED and the plaintiffs proceeded with
the evidence. When this side of the
case is ended the defense will doubtless
take a turn at insisting on the jury
being instructed to find verdict for
the directors.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The supreme court in the case of Day
ton against Corser and another decided
Oh Tuesday that wife's right Of dover
as fixed by the Minnesota statutes is
not diverted by transfer of title from
the owner of the property toa pur-
chaser at an execution sale founded
upon Judgment against said owner.
This means that, if creditor levies
execution on real property belonging to
a married man, a purchaser can never
obtain complete title unless the mans
wife should die before her husband.
Should the husband die first, the pur-
chaser's title will be good only as to
two-thirds of the property, and the re-
naming one-third will be vested In the
surviving wife.
The same rule applies to sale made
by an assignee i'll voluntary insolvency,
to a sale made by a receiver appointed
OIL the petition of creditors, and to every
other attempt to divert the title Of real
property against the consent of the
owner by operation of law.
The GLOBE refers to all this not by
way of criticism or dissent, but simply
that it may receive the publicity it de-
serves. The point is so important that
it ought to be noticed by all the business
men of the state.
1t ought also TO be noticed by the
members of the coming legislature, and
an amendment made to the statutes
which will cover the defect and remove
the protection which is thus unjustly
afforded the debtor whose wealth is in
the form of land.
AS long as the law stands in its pres
ent shape, any creditor may we'll hest
tate before he satisfies a judgment by
the sale OF real property on execution.

On the face of the returns as reported
Immediately after the election there
was safe anti-Republican majority OH
joint ballot in the newly chosen legis-
latures of Montana, Wyoming, Kansas,
Nebraska and California.
From each one of these states United
States senator will be returned during
the coming winter, and were no sue
cessfuI effort made to defeat the popu-
lar will. no one or these senators would
be Republican.
In yesterday mornings GLOBE was
published the news that county can
wasting board in Wyoming had seated
Republicans enough to give that party
the control of the states legislature.
1t is reported that conference of
Democratic leaders will be heldin New
York city this week to consider what
measures should be taken to circumvent
plots like this, aimed to maintain the
ascendancy of the MCKINLEY junto in
the upper house of congress.
In this meeting will be Senator COR
MAN, WILLIAM c. WHITNEY, Speaker
CRISP, Chairman HARRFrY, Don M.
DICKINSON, Senator FAULKNER, SeTa-
tor CARLISLE and RICHARD CROKER.
A conference of this sort is urgently
needed. If the Democracy loses the
senate, the significance of its victory
will be lost.
The men who have been named as
charged with the duty of preventing
this disaster all have ability, courage
and loyalty to the cause.
But the GLOBE notices that one man
who knows more about organization
than any of them, and who can put Re-
publican returning boards and ballot
box suffers to confusion as can no one
else, is not included in their number.
If the legislatures of California, Wy
oming, Montana, Nebraska and Kansas
are to be saved for the Democracy,
DAVID B. Hills advice as to the best
method of procedure should be sought.
Let DAVID B. HILL be invited to the
New York conference.

Representative HOLMAN is. in one

particular function of craftsmanship is

He has been giving the subject of cleo

PEARL BUTTONS.

In its recent application for re-
celver, the Chicago Pearl Button COM
pany set forth "that the profitable man
ufacture Of pearl buttons in America is
practical impossibiity. 1t is matter
of great difficulty to hire mechanics
skilled in the art in America, and UNI
lawful to contract for the hire of skilled
workmen abroad. Without imported
labor the business could not continue"
In some features of its tariff legisla-
tiou the Republican party has been de-
liberately dishonest. and in other feat
ureS it has been merely imbecile. 1t
has dishonesty sought to enrich a few
favored beneficiaries at the expense of
the masses of the people, and it has
stupidity sought to shut out foreign COM
petition in certain manufactures which
do not and in the nature of things CAN
not exist prOSper0uSly in this country.
In either case the effect has been eX-
tremely unfortunate for the cOun-
try. Taxation which makes million
aires and paupers is radically wrong;
taxation which tends simply to Cypress
the consumers of this country without
even benefting a favored class is also
radically wrong, besides being stipend
ously imbeciIe. The pearl button tariff
belongs to the latter class. 1t is an out
rageously imbecile. piece of legislation,
and itsrepeal Should be one OF the first
dutiesof the FifUy-third congress. There
is no pearl button industry in this coun-
try, and the attemptk to establish one
has signally failed, as the above-quoted
statement of the defunct Chicago COM
pany demonstrates. The MCKINLEY
bill raised the pearl button tariff 400 per
cent, and this enormous tax is still be-
ing paid, although the American pearl
button industry has weakly died a-Dorn-
