A NAME FOR THE CUP DEFENDER.

The New York Sun is receiving
responses from all over the coun-
try to its request for suggestions
for a name for the Americas cup de-
fender to meet valkyrie III next fall
Many OF these suggestions naturally
turn to witticism. Many Of them are
seriously excellent. One in particular
we note, and for more reasons than the
suggestion-makers have based their sug-
gestions on. We refer to the name
Hope for the new yacht. Seriously,
that would be fine name. 1t is good
name for yacht--any yacht. 1t is an
especially good name for the cup defender,
unless, perchance, it may be thought to
imply "a doubt of her ability to win. 1t
is the name of the charming wife of one
of the yachts owners, and she Rhode
Island woman. 1t is the emblem OF the
State of Rhode Island. 1t is peculiarly
the emblem of the town of Bristol where
the yacht is being built-down at the
Herreshofrs, under the shadow Of Mount
Hope, 1t is sailor-like name, to boot.
We immensely like the suggestion of
Hope.
And in this connection we are i'm
PEELED, also, to remark, as something
odd, that not one of the many yachts
that have defended the Americas cup
has been named after the original win
ner of the cup-America, which, by Pc
culiar fortune, was the name of the
yacht that originally won the trophy in
1851. We like America, too. for name
for the new yacht. Aud if we like Hope
better, because we are provincial Rhode
Islanders, we recognize the greater
breadth and resonance of America.

Why does the Treasury's stock of gold di-
minish
Because the Federal paper money is being
steadily presented for redemption.
Why does not this produce such contrac ton
In the currency that the pressure 10 get gold
is overcome and the drain stopped?
Because the redeemed notes are Immediately
issued again. and the farcical process OF their
running in and out keeps on, as in a child 5
toy pump. which pumps water into the tank
IL sucks from.
Why does the Treasury, after redeeming
its own notes in gold. Immediately put them
out again?
To pay its current expenses. The Federal
revenue is deficient. And the explanation
that is that the new tariff. with its panic
breeding deficiency and its humbug protec-
tionism, was made what it Is in order that the
Administration might cackle, for insta nee
over the achievement of free wool.
Japan has enjoyed a constitutional govern
ment for five years only. Yet one would not
expect to see such criminal imbecility as has
plunged us into financial difficulty, arise to
mortify japan.
And the Democratic party, which is now In
power, is kept fooling with plans for borrow
ing money instead of being set to work to
earn money, that is, to raise revenue /! IL is
marvellous indeed.

AN INTELLIGENT JURY.

Whenever jury is selected for nm i'm
portant case i'm court--like the KEEGAN
trial for instance-there are usually dis
covered men who swear, not only that
they have formed no opinion by read
ing of newspaper reports OF the crime,
but who have not even read the reports.
1t has become customary to regard
such men MS lacking in intelligence, as
nincompoops, for not reading what has
filed columns Of their newspapers for
days and weeks, and people are wont to
express surprise that, in this day and
generation, such men really exist and have
their being, and they are apt to be led to
the conclusion that the evidence thus
afforded Of their lack of intelligence
ought 10 be sufficient to debar them from
acting on a supposedly intelligent jury.
From this point people are naturally
prone TO discredit the jury system, as
placing the powers of judgment on inn
portant cases in men who haven't brains
enough TO read the newspapers.
q We incline, however, to the opinion
that these conclusions are all wrong.
1t is by no means an indication, to say
nothing of its being an evidence, Of a
lack of intelligence that persons do not
read everything that is published in the
newspapers, even emitting to read what
the newspapers and, perhaps, a majority
of their readers, consider most important.
Take this very KEEGAN case for example.
For days and weeks after the discovery
of the butchered body of EMILY CHAM
BERs, the newspapers were +" full OF ii. :"
AS light on the murder developed, an
increasing number of columns was de-
voted to the subject. Assuming that
much of what was published was not
rubbish, the reading of this daily mass
of literature on the subject must needs
have been a stupendous job and we are
confident that large proportion of our
intelligent fellow citizens avoided its
daily perusing.
Everybody is not interested in MUIR
der case for instance. Most of us incline
to specialties in our reading of news
papers. While at some point of the re-
porting of any important matter we are
likely to pick up the story, the most
omnivorous newspaper reader is not
in the habit of keeping track of
everything. Some of us read closely
the reports Of murders, some of us keep
track Of yacht races, some of defalca-
tions and embezzlements. some Of po-
litical movements, some of the develop
ment OF the South African diamond
mines, and some of the war in China. 1t
is likely, accordingly, that many intelli-
gent and well informed men can
always be found who have not
kept track of certain particular
subject. And this failure need
not be reflection on their intelligence,
not by any means. The matter Of news
that everybody is supposed to be talking
about and to be interested in may be
actually matter that good many peo-
pie have taken no earthly interest In,
never mind how much newspaper space
may be devoted to it. This seems to us
very plain, which is why we believe that
a jury of intelligent men may always be
found for any case who can truly say,
without danger of discrediting their in
teIligence, that they have read little or
nothing that the newspapers have had
to say on that particular case.
