CAN Aboard for thu Rook,n

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The waters
OF New York have never seen such
preparations for witnessing a race
as are eliminating today. Every
boat, steam or sail, that is capable
of carrying excursionists is getting
ready to take boatload to the
Hook tomorrow. Swell organiZa.
tions like the Seventh Regiment
Veterans have chartered entire
steamers, to which passengers will
be admitted only by invitation,
but even they must pay ~ for
each race. The average price for
the stea mboats is So a race or S.
for entire series. The sailing craft
charge anything they can get, as
they cannot keep up with the fleet
racers, and are pushed out OF the
best positions by the steam craft,
which think they own the ocean.
A new feature of the races this
year, one which shows how deeply
these contest are touching the pat
riotism Of the people all over the
country, Is the presence Of numer-
GUS Western yacht club delega-
tions, numbering several hundred
persons.

1t might be difficult to persuade
the Cuban insurgents that Spain is

or for her own material interes ts,

There is no law of national in
tercourse or of civilization that
will lead any one country to devise
for the advantage of another at the
expense of its own. Yet this is the
very thing contended for by those
would be statesman, at home and
abroad, who condemn protection
policies as narrow and incOnsist-
ent with those broader views of
government that should prevail in
this age. 1t is a plain duty..of this
country to take care of itself first,
then it is in order to see how far it
is possible to aid others. Feed the
children in the home first, then
give aims as you are able.

Since the bond syndicate under
took, under contract with Carlisle,
to keep the 800, 100000 reserve in
tact they have paid out more than
the face value of the bonds by $l2,-
100000. That is to say, in the few
months elapsed since the bond is
sue was made this Democratic adj
ministration has fallen behind the
neat sum of twelve million dollars.
Add thistle the one hundred mil
lions previously issued, and fore
cast what will still have to be
forthcoming in order to keep the
nose of the nation above water,
then reckon the surplus over that
hundred million when Cleveland
was inaugurated and you begin to
gain some conception of the ability
of a Democratic administration to
run the coutry into debt in time of
profound peace. Not even an In
dian outbreak to disturb the tran
guilty. NOwOnder that the coun-
try breathes freely and trade looks
hopefully out from under its bur-
dens, as it considers the certainty
of showing such mismanagement
under at the approaching general
election.

The LIGHT has stuck its stakes
as opposed to lynching, as a means
to an end, but there is this to be
said in its favor; it costs less and
is more certain not to miss fire than
the usual processes of courts. The
trouble with it is that it not only
brutalizes those who resort to it,
but when it catches on to the wrong
man there is no correcting the mis-.
take that is made.
