Rev. DR.. Buckley says in the Chris
tian Advocate that he has followed
Huxley through his controversies with
various theologians. and that, leaving
out the conviction-working power of
personal religious experience, they were
not able to cope with him." He adds
that in the field of science 1t was folly
for M. Gladstone to attempt it. For a
man of brother Buckley's strict and I'M
bending orthodoxy. this frank admission
must come with a good deal of reluc-
lance. The late Mr.. Huxley was a good
deal of a thorn in the flesh to the
brethren.

THE TROUBLE WITH CORNELL.
The Crew Has Been Trained to Use nm
Improper Stroke.
New York Evening Post.

-NcW iofh Evening FOSt.
Everybody will sympathize with the Cor
nell crew in their bitter disappointment
over their hollow defeat in the race which
they had Travelled so far to win. but the
result will not be surprising or altogether un-
satisfactory to amateur oarsmen who have
the best interests of rowing at heart. The
short, jerky stroke which Cornell has been
rowing for the last twenty years is essen
TALLY vicious in principle, and had 1t won
to-day the brilliancy of the victory might
have led to its more general adoption. Now
it has been found wanting even amid condi-
tons peculiarly favorable to 1t, and the
threatened revolution of the old rules OF
good Workmanship, which some of the
likely to be postponed indefinitely. Cor
nelfs aquatic victories in the past have
been won not by her stroke, but in spite
Of 1t. Her crews always have been trained
exceedingly well. and have rowed with beau
tiful and most effective precision. With a
better style. more length Of reach aud OF
swing, they would be most dangerous an
tagonists for far better boats than they
have Beaten on this side of the Atlantic.
The Trinity Hall crew, who won so easily
this morning, are head OF the river at Cam
bridge, and represent the best style OF
rowing at that university. 1t will be inter-
esting to note how they will fare in the
contest with the oxford New College crew
In the final heat for the grand Challenge
cup. Cornell deserves credit for her pluck.
n not for her discretion. and has provided
several useful object lessons. One OF these
is that amateurs derive little benefit froro
professional associations: another is that
time trials In practice are deceptive. and
a third that rules founded upon long ex-
perience ought not to be discarded rashly.
AS for Courtney, who from the first has
done his utmost to bring r!dicule upon his
charges, 1T Is to be hoped, now that his
stroke and his training have ended in a
fiasco as public as 1t is humiliating. that
he will. be relegated permanently to the
oDscurity which best becomes him.

The demagogue who has attached
himself to the independent silver COIN
age combination assails the banker with
a fervor of spirit that recalls several
of the leaders of the different greenback
parties when they seemed to have cap
tured the country. The banker is the
man who is. according to this delna-
gogue. above all others, a gold-bug, and,
for that reason, an oppressor of the peo-
pie.
What is the bankers business? To
let his own money? That is a small
part of 1t. Banks derive their profits
from loaning the money of others in
trusted to them. All strong banks have
carried a large quantity of gold in re-
cent years. The banks in this city
carry. or have been carrying, over two
million dollars of that metal. 1t is a
part of their assets against the depos-
it's of individuals. Suppose the country
should drop to a silver basis, so that
fifty or seventy-five cents worth of sill
yer bullion could be coined into a dol
lar. Has 1T never occurred to these vol
uble advocates CT unlimited silver coin

the owners of silver mines, would at the
outset be most benefited by free silver?
A bank with a million or half a million
Of gold could sell it for silver bullion
enough to make nearly double hi
amount of silver dollars. With these
dollars they could pay off their credit
ors and yet nave as many dollars left
as they had in gold.
The life insurance companies, that is,
paid in to them for policies. Much Of
these funds are invested so that they
could be turned into gold. The gold
bonds issued by railroad companies and
cities are held by them. These they
could turn into gold. and with the gold
dollars get the equivalent of two or one
n a half dollars in silver. With these
dollars they could pay off maturing pol
icies in fifty or seventy-five cent dollars,
realizing millions out of the transaction.
In fact, the managers of every institu-
ton which collects n invests the saw
ings of the masses have invested largely
in properties which they could turn into
gold, and with hat gold get silver to
pay their depositors, realizing immense
| profits.
Why do not these bankers join the sill
yer m~ine-owners? Simply because they
can see that, in the end, this policy
would involve the whole country in dis
aster. from which it could not be res
cued in years. The wonder is thai the
silver mine owners cannot see that in
the end their policy will involve them in
the general ruin consequent upon the
| upsetting of a financial system.
