The people have at last taken this

When Senator Stewart had finished
his speech, Secretary Wade read a
telegram from Congressman Benton
Mcmillan OF Tennessee, in which he
expresses regret that personal busi-
ness prevented his attendance upon
the convention and adds: 'Cessa-
tion from the use of silver as redemp-
tion money would be a calamity to
mankind. Whilst bimetalism by in
ternatiOnal agreement is much to be
desired, it is useless to expect Eng
land to make any agreement. To ex-
pect her to concede bimetallism now
is as idle as it would have been for
our forefathers to rely on her doing
them justice without fight in 1776."
Mr.. Stewart is correct in all he says
above, excepting the reference to the
multiplicity of issues precluding the
success of the Peoples party. In this
he is in error. The three great mo-
nopolies of money land and transpor-
tatlon must all be settled.

A Repetition of Saturdays Successful
Exhibition at 'The .Cat" Office.
To-day San Franciscans will have an
other opportunity to witness, in miniature,
the yacht racing between the Defender and
the Valkyrie. The race to-day is on the
triangular course, and each leg of the trl-
angle is ten miles long. Those who wit
ness the miniature race to-day over the big
sign of THE CALL in front of THE CALL
business Office on Market street will see an
exact reproduction of the great interna-
tional struggle. as it takes place in New
York harbor. The length of the course
over which the miniature Defender and
Valkyrie will sail is sixty feet. This will
be on scale OF six feet to the mile, and as
the New York course is triangular one,
the tiny vessels will maneuver three times
over their sixty-feet course in front of THE
CALL office.
The San Francisco models of the two
yachts carry precisely the same sails as
their prototypes, and will, during the
course of the race, make exactly such
changes in their sails as are made by the
big yachts on the other side of the CONT
nent.
All this is done, of course, by THE CALLS
special Geographic bulletins direct from
the scene of the race. These bulletins are
flashed across the continent every few
minutes, and depict truly every change in
the position, as well as the sailing gear, of
the big yachts.
Saturdays exhibition in front of THE
CALLS office was entirely successful and
was witnessed by thousands. The exhibit
ton to-day will begin on the exact moment
the big yachts make their start from the
stakeboat. As the course over which the
small boats sail is well elevated, everybody
in the crowd is able to see the entire race,
and there are no preferred seats.

KISSED BY THE PREACHERS
Agitator Hardie of England
Before the MethodiStS
of Chicago.
Executed for Murder
Styled Pioneers of New
Gospel.

CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 9.-Keir Hardie,
English socialist and member of Parlia-
ment, had an exciting session with the
Methodist ministers to-day. Mr.. Hardie
had been invited by the Chicago Metho-
dist Episcopal preachers to speak before
them this morning. After mildly spoken
denunciation of the church and clergy, Mr..
Hardie said:
THE early Christians were criticized for
their religion, and the press of that day, if
there was such an institution, which
hope there was not, held them up to ridi-
cule, but the truth they taught was not ex-
tinguished. They were crucified and burned
at the stake and felt it an honor to die in
the cause which they Endorsed. The world
could not see the truth of their teachings.
And is it not possible that the men hanged
in Chicago a few years ago (the anarchiSts)
NAV be pioneers of a new gospel?"
"Those fellows ought to have been
hanged" interrupted Rev. D. j. Holmes
at this point.
Cries of mo, no." and deafening ap-
plause drowned the voice of the speaker,
who, when he could be heard above the
tumult. retorted $50 the Jews said"
The rest of the speakers remarks were
swallowed in the roar of disapproval which
had not yet subsidized.
81 want to speak according to my con-
victions," rejoined Mr.. Hardie, as he
seated himself and waited for the tumult
his remarks had occasioned to lessen.
DR.. Swift, the presiding officer, implored
the gathering TO refrain from Interrupt
tions, and one of the. clergymen present
demanded that if the expressions of dis
appreciation were not allowable applause
be also barred. To this proposition DIR.
Swift agreed, and although those unfavor-
ably impressed with the speakers senti-
ments adhered to their part of the agree
mentt, the applauders had to be reminded
more than once before Mr.. Hardie con-
cluded his address to keep quiet.

gave the Defender the victory on Saturday may
prove her destruction tomorrow, and 1t cannot
be denied that at least one win to the Valkyrie
would render the sport and the excitement
much more perfect.
Lord Dunraven has brought over q noble
yacht, and perhaps there is not single Ameri-
can who would not prefer the Valkyrie to win
at least one race as the reward of persistent
and most sportsmanlike efforts, which have
been continued in spite of repeated failures.
In any case, and irrespective of any hospitable
wishes, she will probably look after herself
fairly well If the breeze reaches thirty miles an
hour or upward.
With the Defender there is, as has been
said, reverse side to the medal when the
superiorities of her lightness are considered,
and it is as yet entirely guesswork as to what
this lightness will cost her in half gale of
wind. Apparently every American yachtsman
has admitted that the Valkyrie is the more
powerful boat of the two, though not neces-
sarily the fastest. There has been great deal
of talk about "Valkyrie weather." meaning
something that was only one remove from
dead calm, and this arose because the
Valkyrie people have not explained their
yacht, but have kept silent and allowed the
newspapers, both American and English, to do
the talking. But this idea of the term "Valky-
RE weather. has not been shared by the
writer. 1t came from the English newspapers
which frowned on the boat when it became
manifest that she was oversparred for the
heavy English winds and could not stand up
as well as that phenomenon, the Britannia.
But this rating accorded to English weather is
of no value when the race is to be sailed here.
The Valkyrie was spared to have some
chance in the American light airs, but when it
comes to reefng breezes she will certainly
show power that has been so far unde-
veloped and has been ignored by the local
newspapers-a power, it may be added, that
now in a tacit yet eloquent way promises to be
satisfactory to Lord Dunraven if he ever gets
chance. The situation is this that when
compared with the Britannia the Valkyrie is
properly called light-weather boat, but when
compared with the Defender she is quite the
reverse, and in this competition will show her
best powers in heavy winds.

IDEAS OF IN EXPERT.
One Man Who Thinks the Talkyrie'
Chance Good.


NEW YORK, N. Y, Sept. 9.-The
Tribune's expert says:
1t is not to be expected perhaps that any
small increase of Saturdays breeze will effect
a change in the result of to-morrow's race. AS
long as the Defender can carry her full canvas
she may expect to win. Her superiority in
the lightness of the upper portion OF her hull
has been already made clear. Her buoyancy
and the alacrity she displayed in regaining her
former Roadway after being partly checked by
sinking her bows in an oncoming sea was
manifest.
In these respects she showed superiority
over the Valkyrie which could be detected in
the active watching of both yachts In the
carefully calculated production of those quail
ties Herreshoff has made no mistake.
The use of the aluminium plating, which is
altogether a novelty in yacht-buildlng con-
tanned in its idea the best scientific knowledge
of yacht-sailing. The advantage in having the
upper works and top hamper of the greatest
possible lightness has for many years been ap-
parent to practical racing yachtSmen, and
when these qualities have been acquired with
out mourning danger in the matter Of fragility
a resulting superiority in the matter of speed
is not mere matter of supposition but q sci
entiic necessity, when other qualities are
equal.
Inc DeIeuueT dDllllleS III the way or quick
starting and immediate recovery after being
checked are far more marked than in any
yacht approaching her size that has ever been
foated. This statement was not made lightly
nor in the overweening confidence born of q
single victory, but after careful personal ex-
animation of the racing powers of every great
sailing craft which the world possesses.
1t has often been limited that in the desire to
gain the foregoing advantages the utility of
strength has been too much sacrificed, but in
spite of the Defenders many accidents it will
be noticed that only a few of them coulo be in
any way attributed to too great zeal to obtain
lightness. 1t is true that she broke her gaff,
split her sails, twisted some aluminium fittings
(Which were replaced with steel) and that her
first mast or its fittings proved unsatisfactory
But weak spots are frequently found in the
best regulated boats, and these defects,
which are now removed cannot be said to pro-
vide any ready-made judgment as to what
the Defender will do in the succeeding races.
The Defender cannot be called racing ma
chine. She is yacht, but If she continues to
win in light weather by reason of those quail
ties which so far have given her the victory she
will be dom 6 so because of advantages which
can only be enjoyed by a defend
ing craft and which at the present
point of scientific discovery and test cannot be
safely adopted by a vessel which has to cross
the ocean. Yet, of course, it must not be for
gotten that there is a reverse to the medal. So
far as any one can tell, the very qualities which

energies, their intelligence and their unfalter-
