LARGs, Firth of Clyde July A.
Brittania and Valkyrie contested
today in the second regatta of the
Clyde racing season, that of the Royal
Western Yacht CLUB, for the Wemyss
bay prize of ESQ. A fine southerly
wind, veering westerly, was blowing
as the yachts crossed the line, Valky-
RE getting the weather berth. The
course was from Weymiss bay around
the t1sghoats and back to the starting
line, three times around, total distance
45 miles. Brittania weathered Valky-
RE in going to windward, making for
Largs and increasing her lead speed
lily. The Prince OF Wales CATER at
the close of the first round was three
minutes ahead Of Lord Dunraven's
yacht. Brittania maintained her lead
&C the end and won by minutes.
When Brittania put about TO the
windward of Valkyrie the Prince of
Waleg' cutter had hardly room
enough and Captain Carter had con-
siderable difficulty in getting Brita
tania around the Valkyrie's counter.
AS it was an accident nearly occurred.
Todays racing was all in favor Of
Brittania. She showed herself to be
superior to Valkyrie in nearly every
point of sailing. The wind was south
erly, turning to west and OF fair
strength, Satanita did not compete.
She sailed up to the Firth of Clyde,
however, under mainsail and jib.
In last years regatta of the Royal
Western Yacht club Satanita, Britt
tania, Valkyrie, Callum and Iverna
started. Valkyrie finished first in
hours, IS minutes, SO seconds. Iverna
was second in hours, 20 minutes, IS
seconds. Brittania sprung her mast,
Callum gave up the race owing to the
giving out of her port runner, and
Satanita gave up the race after the
second round. The Vigilant came of
the dry dock today and will, barring
accidents, be ready for racing tumor-
row.

THE DANGER OF POPULISrIC
DOCTRINES.

Mr.. Kyle, Populist senator, has in
troduced the most remarkable resolu'
ton in the body of which he is q
member that ever appeared upon
the proceedings of any legislative
assembly since the world began the
experiment of civil government. His
resolution in substance declares that
no warrant or other process civil or
criminal shall be issued by any
United states commissioner or district
court of the same against any person
who obstructs trains not carrying
the United States mails, or in other
words the resolution repeats all
statutes which protect railroad pro-
perty unless it is guarded by mail
coaches carrying the United States
MALE, or, in still other words, all pas
senger and freight coaches may be
demolished BY any mob at its pleas
ure if cut out from the mail coaches.
The mere statement of the resolu-
ton is sufficient to condemn ii by all
men loving law and order and the
protection OF property, and it is only
mentioned to show 10 what an extent
Populist doctrines will carry their
partizans. It demonstrates the
fact that the Conservative people
of This country are nor only 10 meet
the wild doctrines OF the PopulIsls as
expressed in their platforms, but that
there are a thousand hidden evils
lurking in the tain Of these doctrines

the intelligence that Chief Justice
John w. Stayton is dead He was a

Texas. When a man truly great
dies, the world has lost friend AS
men and customs go, others will rise
up to take his place, but his deeds
will live in memory as an inspiration
TO true worth and earnest duty. The
lives of such men should remind us OF
the noble duties we owe cur state and

that any moment may be sprung upon
the country when in an excited condi'
ton and incapable from that fact OF
being calmly considered. 1t is an
evidence OF the fact that the Populists
have a reserve force OF chimercal
policies that they will attempt from
time to time to engraft upon the
policy of this government dangerous
to its most cherished, conservative
and fundamental principles 1t is a
further evidence of the fact that the
Populists have lost sight of the or
ganic principles of free Democratic
and Republican government 80 inn
portant in the consideration of the
fathers.
Many Democrats in times OF dis
satisfaction with the course OF the
Democratic party when that party
had not had time to act, have without
due consideration joined the Populists.
A Democrat is nothing if he is not
conservative, the party is based
largely upon its doctrine OF
protection to the rights of minorities.
The Democratic party has well earn
ed the reputation of ballasting best
the political craft of this government,
and of being reliable to shut down
brakes on any wild running forced up
by all kinds of fanaticism. Have not
these Democrats now in the Populist
party, discovered their mistake in de-
serting the Democracy before this
time? Have they not seen that the
Populist party has within itself and
it's consequences the greatest danger
to the happiness of our people and the
constitution of our government? A ny
reasonable man who understands the
principles of the government under
which we live ought to have been
convinced Of these facts by this time,
and knowing that the Democratic
party is safe and can be trusted, do
they not feel that their duty to their
country demands that they return
their allegiance to the Democratic
party, repudiating all new ideas and
dangerous isms?
This government needs at present,
more than it ever did before, the con-
sentative element to the front. Law
lessness, disorder and the wanton dis
regard of the rights of others
are rampant in the land.
A conservative, law abiding
and law enforcing party such as can
only be found in the Democracy is
needed to check this spirit and MAIN
tain order. The Democracy has at
the head of the administration a man
who can be fully trusted to discharge
his whole duty to the country, but in
his effort to do so his hands must be
upheld by the old, staunch and reliar
BILE Democratic party. Grover Cleve-
land, backed by loyal Democrats, can
hold this country as true as the needle
to the pole to the purpose for which it
was organized.

A GAS BAG PUNCTURED.

Mr.. Cleveland took Governor Alt
geld off at the knees in the most
thoroughly artistic style. Altgeld
evidently thought he would make
great political capital by writing to
Mr.. Cleveland protesting against his
ordering United States troops to Illi-
nois. The governor declared that Illi-
nois was perfectly able to take care of
the state with state troops, and re-
septed in his letter the inference that
it could not do so by Mr.. Cleveland's
sending United States troops to that
state. He also tells Mr., Cleveland
that he has been misinformed about
the condition of affairs in Illinois.
Mr.. Cleveland answers that he sent
United States troops to Chicago upon
request of the postal authorities and
upon representation of the judicial
officers of the United States that they
were needed to remove obstruc-
tions to the mails. Mr.. Cleveland
adds that he thought it was
clearly in the province of federal au-
thority to protect the mails and that
it was not only proper to send the
United States troops, but that they
were necessary. Then Mr.. Cleveland
punctures Governor Atgeld's gas bag
by saying that there was no inten-
ton of thereby interfering with the
plain duty of the local authorities to
preserve the peace of the city. How
infinitely small Altgeld must have
felt when he read this last sentence
He must have recognized that the
whole world saw his little dirty game
to court popularity and ipjure Mr..
Cleveland and he was so completely
caught aud exposed that even his
tough epidermcs must have smarted
at the keen lash of a man so superior
in everything to him. Oh, governor
you can't play your little game with a
man of brains and perception; you
had better not call your personality
into contrast with an honest, high
minded man who so utterly despises
you and your little tricks.

THE PEOPLE VIZ. THE STRIKERS

THE PEOPLE vs.. THE SlhlhENO
1t was high time, if not past the
time, for United States troops to be
called out to suppress the outrages
incident to the attempted boycott OF
the Pullman Car company. The
ria hit of strikers to interfere with the
rights of others than those against
whom their war is waged is ques-
ton it seems that is totally disregard
ed by the strikers themselves and far
too little considered by our people and
government, both state and federal.
AS people we are tar too prone to
take conditions as they are without
vigorous protest. We feel in many
instances we have been outraged by
those conditions, but we let them pass
with verbal protest or some little
grumbling. AS briefly as possible

what this strike is. doing, and is 1T
lust, should it to any degree be- per-
missible? These strikers claim no
grievance against any business inter-
est of the nation except that OF the

ing that company in the illegittmate

every line OF business that depends
to a greater OF less degree upon rail-
road transportation, This includes
nearly every line of business and eer-
tainly all com merce. Can they lind

should they even tor an hour be thus
