According to the clyde experts. the

from showing that Britannia was supe-
rior in sailing qualities to her American
rival. and some predicted that this was

show her heels to the Prince Of Wales's

There IL no doubt that the uncertainty
prevailing in regard to the superiority OF
the two boats greatly enhanced the in

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

Citizen Train, as he now appears upon
the street, is a peripatetic floral calen-
dar, though, as might have been expect
ed from his sanguine temperament, the
hating spring must be allowed rather
more than three days grace in it's effort
to keep up with his sunny progress.

the beginning.

or the artist made upon 1T and afterward
abandoned bust study of his subject.
The subsequent coats of paint for
time concealed the lines beneath, but
something in the atmosphere of the room
where the portrait hangs has gradually
revealed the hidden picture.
A Chicago printing house, J.B. Steiner

1t is the delay in reforming the tariff !;
it is the spectacle of private and personal
interests, am billions and resentments
prevailing withsDemocratic Senators over
their sense of duty and allegiance to
their party and their country which
alone can furnish sufficient explanation
of the Democratic reverses atssthe polls
this spring. AT the door of these same
Senators must lie the responsibility for
whatever further disasters a persistence
in their present course brings upon the
party. Argus.
The House of Represen tatives did not
delay much in reforming the tariff.
That body went right to work upon it
as soon as it met and rushed it through
with the speed of an express train.
There wasn't any delay until the bill
got into the Senate. Yet long
before any culpable dilatoriness
had been manifested two con-
gressional elections had taken place in
New York city in districts normally
Democratic by overwhelming ma
jorities. and in one of these districts the
Repu blican candidate was elected.
and in the other the Democratic candi-
date barely escaped defeat. 1t couldn't
have been delay in reforming the tariff
that caused these Democratic overthrows
yet the results in these two districts
were more remarkable than the results
of any election that has occurred since.
If it is disgust at the delay of tariff re-
form that is affecting the Democrats
they are manifesting it in most unac-
countable way. The Republicans are
avowedly doing all they can to defeat
the Wilson bill. They are openly delay
ing it as much as possible This being
the case it would seem that the natural
thing for Democrats to do who are dis
gusted at the delay would be to come out
and vote against the party that is
avowedly delaying it. Instead of that
they either stay at home or vote with
the cans-strengthening the lat
ter all they can, though they know that
the result must inevitably be to encour-
aye them to pursue the very policy of
obstruction with which, we are told, they
are Disguised. Democrats are some
times capable of doingsvery stupid things
but we don't think they are quite stupid
enough to conceive that the best way of
making effective protest against the de-
laying of tariff reform is to vote with
the party that is avowedly working for
such delay. The Argus explanation of
the Democratic slump this spring was
originally invented by Mugwump news
papers, which are ready to descend to
any stupidity rather than admit that
their free trade hobby is not dear to the
heart of every voter except the wicked
manufacturers. 1t could only be true on
the assumption that very large proper
tion the Democratic voters were ounces.

SPRINGER SAT DOWN.
He Had Asked One Question Too Many
[" The Show at washington.pl

re- The Show at Washington."]
A strange and important historical
fact came to light recently in the shape
of a legend that Springer of Illinois, he
of the red carnation and perpetual mo-
ton, was once actually nonplussed.
AS the story is told, this historical
event happened several years ago, whe II

was firm believer in the value of
object lessons. The ubject under dis
cussion was pottery, and the Pennsyl-
vania congressman was teaching lesson
to the House.
Resting on his desk was huge piece
of pottery, beautiful as it was bi burn
ished copper in color, with debate grape
vines running artistically over it. Twin
ing his arms lovingly around it, Judge
Kelley began his speech. He was
ponderous orator, his early experience
as an actor in the days when the pro-
nunciation of every syllable and every
sentence was considered a sine qua non
of elegant oratory having nodded his
manner of speaking.
In his leisurely way he proceeded to
show how much the raw material in
that work of art cost. how much the
workmanship and some facts about
prices.
But Mr.. Springer concluded that it
would not do to let Judge Kelley pro-
coed any further with an object lesson
which was about the only thing protect.
ed when 1t came to pottery, SO he rose,
and, pointing his finger satiricaily
toward the Pennsylvania, sarcastically
inquired: MIR. Speaker, what is that
thing?
The Pennsylvania never moved his
arms from the artistic creation. Rails
ing his voice higher, he said: "Mr.
Speaker. in Il-li-noi-y it would be called
a spittoon; in Pennsylvania, sir, we call
it vase.

down and actually wilted.

The city of Cohoes, one of the principal
manufacturing centres of New York
State, vented it's disgust at the delay in
passing the Wilson bill, by electing the
Republican candidate for Mayor by over
500 majority over three competitors. The
moral is of course, hurry up the passage
of the Wilson bill.
