A certain young man living on the North

whom he especially delighted to honor,

Then what can we do, John?"

them so cents tomorrow, and if they

Ambassador Bayard has been Instructed
to represent strongly to the English gov
eminent that the United States looks with
disfavor upon the apparent encroachment
by Great Britain upon Venezuelan terri
tory, and desires that the subject shall be
speedily submitted to arbitration. If there
is any life in the Monroe doctrine, its
manifestation is certainly called for by
the attitude of Great Britain towards
Venezuela. The United States cannot be
expected to intervene in petty disputes
between South American countries and

icy requires US to object strenuously to
the further appropriation of American soil

The remarkable thing in connection with
the collision between Robert w. Inman's
yacht Adelaide and the steamboat Per-
seus, in New York harbor
last Monday night, is the
jumping overheard of Mr.. Inman, who
was drowned, and two of his three guests.
The party consisted of Mr.. 1nman, Mr..
Sutton and two young women. If Mr.. In
man had not jumped overheard none of
the others would have done SO. lie
seems to have lost his presence of mind
the moment the two vessels collided.
When he jumped. one of the young wo-
men followed his example, and Mr.. SUIT
ton jumped in to save the woman, who
could not swim. The other woman would
have jumped in also If one of the seamen
had not caught and held her.
Why Mr.. Inman jumped into the sea is
of course a matter of conjecture. That
he was drowned there is no longer any
doubt. His yacht was not materially in
tured II she had been it would have been
safer to have taken the chances of being
rescued from her rather than from theawa-
ter The crew of the yacht do not appear
to have been greatly alarmed by the col
lision. No doubt they thought it would be
time enough to desert the yacht when
they found she was no longer seaworthy
Although Mr.. Inman owned a number Of
pleasure vessels he does not appear %
have been much of a sailor. His hasty
act in jumping into the sea before finding
out whether or not it was necessary 20
do so justifies the conclusion that it would
be advisable for yachtmen of his sort 20
find their pleasures on land.
Designer Watson makes a very sensible
suggestion when he says that future races
for the Americas cup should be between
crafts smaller and less costly yachts
than the Defender, Valkyrie and Vigilant
Boats of their kind cost fortune, and it
requires an immense outlay of money to
keep them in commission for even a short
season. And after their first season they

owners They are designed solely for

formed into pleasure craft. Their cost

the one job" as Mr.. Watson puts it, shuts
out of the competition thousands of patri-
otto Americans who would like to build
boats to defend the nations prestige, and

States in the International yachting

The Washington Post says that if the
majority of the voters of the Tenth Geor-
gia district believe in free silver they
should send Tom Watson to congress. and
continues: The Democratic party is not
for free silver, and the Hon. Pat Walsh
should not try to fool the people who read
his newspaper into any such belief" We
leave the Hon. Pat Walsh and the Post
to fight out their differences of opinion
between themselves. At the same time
we assure the voters of the Tenth dis
trict, and the Washington Post incident
ally, that Tom Watson ought not to be
sent to congress under any circumstances.
Free silver is not the only question in
Tenth district politics. Tom Watson be-
lieves in the government ownership OF

1t is gratifying to observe that there
are few republican newspapers whose
sense of decency, justice and truth is
not buried and smothered in radical par
tisanship. The Chicago Tribune is one
of the honorable exceptions. The other
day the New York Recorder charged
that President Cleveland had pushed the
Mora claim because "a large number of
his personal friends were among the
real holders of old Mr.. Moras big claim"
The Tribune takes up the cudgel in de-
Tense of the President, and says the
Recorders charge will not be believed
until it prints the names of the alleged
friends and explains how and to what
extent they will profit by the distribu-
ton of the Mora money. IF it does

So conservative publication as the
Mercantile and Financial Times of New
York announces that New Brunswick,
is the head of a syndicate to purchase
the Panama canal for 500, 100000. Accord
ing to what Mr.. Weigel says the money
to pay the contract price and carry the
work to completion has been subscribed,
and work on the canal VIII be resumed
within eighteen months.
This story may have a little founda-
tion, but just how much nobody has as
yet discovered. There is no doubt that
Mr.. Welgel is an energetic business man,
having considerable property, but the
chances are that his syndicate has no
existence. except in mis- imagination.
Perhaps he has thought so much of buy
ing the canal and completing it that
his mind has become unbalanced.
1t will be many a day before work
on the Panama canal is again begun in
earnest. A vast amount of money has
been sunk in the enterprise, and yet
the work done upon it amounts to but
difficult, and by far the most costly
part of the undertaking has not yet
been touched practically.
Nobody of course objects to Mr.. Weigel
and his associates spending their money
on the canal. 1t is certain they would
get tired of their undertaking long be-
fore the public would get tired of hear
ing of their progress.
The projected Nicaragua canal is by
far the most feasible enterprise for con-
Meeting the two oceans, and it would
be safe to predict that that canal will
be constructed long before another gem
uifie attempt is made to complete the
