Washington, at dinner given by J. NJ.

John Russell Young, who was in Paris,
agreed to wait upon him on his arrival
there, and Stephen Fiske, one of the
brightest men ! ever knew, was to get
up the dinner. The Savage Club proved
unavailable, and we finally selected the
Globe restaurant, on Leicester Square, as
the place for the dinner. The feed was
TO cost pounds plate, although none
OF US had any money to throw away.
All OF the arrangements We're made when
a dispatch came from Young saying that
Stanley could not be there in time. We
didn't know what 10 do. tiske was TOT

Even old stagers who We're in the con-

In our dispatches yesterday IL was stat
ed that ex-Commodore James D. Smith.
chairman OF the Americas cup commit
tee Of the New York Yacht Club. was mo-
mentarily expecting to receive a challenge
for the cup from Charles Day Rose. Mr..
Rose is the gentleman who sent the in
formal challenge last week.
A challenge for the Americas cup,
even before Lord Dunraven's return 10
England. is ample evidence that among
English yachtsmen Lord Dunraven's
course is not approved. and that among
fair-minded Englishmen it is believed
that Lord Dunraven was treated fairly,
and even generously. by the committee
that had charge Of the contest between
Valkyrie III and the Defender.
Mr.. Rose would not have challenged
for the cup If he were not satisfied that
he would be dealt with fairly. In fact,
to his friends in England. after he had
decided to send the challenge, he said
he had not a shadow Of a doubt that
his treatment on this side of the ocean
would be all he had a right to ask >or
expect. The only remark he made that
could be by any possibility construed
into a criticism of the contest between
Valkyrie III and the Defender was that
he noped the American committee would
see to it that a clear course was provided
for the contest.
There is no doubt that every effort will
be made to have the course freed from
all distractions. Efforts Of that sort
were made in the recent races. and were
50 far successful that it is doubtful if
either Nalkyrie III or the Defender was
in the least hindered Even Lord Dun
raven admitted that the course on the
day of the third race-the race which
Valkyrie III did not sail-was satisfac-
tory But if Mr.. Rose should express a
preference for some other course, the
course off Marblehead. for instance his
wishes no doubt would receive thoughtful
consideration. 1t is as much to the inter-
est of the Americans that the course
should be a satisfactory one as it is to the
English.
Judging from the tone of the British
press in respect to the recent contest, all
Of the British yachtsmen do not SYM
pathize with Lord Dunraven in the course
he saw fit to pursue. on the contrary,
the weight of English opinion appears to
be that he failed to act the part of a
true sportsman. When he returns to
England with his grievance and tale of
woe, he will likely find very little sym
pathy except among his toadies. 1t is to
be hoped that the result of the contest
next year will be such as to afford nobody
a chance for a grievance.

Peary's Last Trip.

Lieut.. Robert E. Peary mas probably
got enough of polar exploration. The
expedition which ended with the return
of the Kite to Newfoundland last week
will probably be the last one which he
will lead He is pretty well convinced that
the game is not worth the candle. At
least that is to be inferred from the man.
ner of Information given out with re-
gard TO the expedition since its return.
Peary labored under great disadvantages.
But SO have all explorers who have VEN
tured into the region of eternal ice. Moth
ing lies at the end Of the northward jour
ney but desolation and death. There Is
nothing practical to be achieved by starv-
ing and freezing in efforts to unlock the
secrets of the polar regions. Those Sc
crets may be interesting from the point
of scientific speculation. But science loses
not a very great deal by their remaining
locked up in their icy Businesses. 1t may
be said that science is paying the cos;
of the expeditions in lives and money.
That may be true; but is science doing
WiseIy9 There are reasons for the belief
that Lieut.. Peary an enthusiastic scien-
list. would now answers the question in
the negative.
He accomplished very little in during
his former trip, and much less during his
last one. His party was reduced TO four,
and with tree companions. a pack of dogs
and scant food supply he tried TO ac-
complish a task that would probably have
proved eventually to be beyond the pow
ers Of an ideally equipped r.arty. The
food gave out, the dogs died of starva-
ton. one Of the men fell ill., and death
stared the party in the face The hard
ships they suffered We're terrible. When
they were rescued they had not tasted
food for two days, the sleds had been
abandoned and all Of the dogs were dead
but one. Peary had not been able to
make the surveys he purposed He had
gathered some comparatively unimport,
ant data and some specimens probably
not more important These he brought
back with him. And they are all that
he has to show for nearly two years OF
privation, suffering and money expended
There is no law by which similar expe.

ties are that it will not be a great while
before another one Of the kind win be

The most striking thing about the story
Of Senator Vests alleged flop away from
free silver. which he has denied. is the
fact that nobody in Missouri seems to
have been surprised. Even the silver pa
pers seemed TO take it as quite natural
that he should leave the silver camp.
Maybe when the senator has been back
in Missouri for a few weeks he will re-
gret that he was so prompt in denying
that he had changed his mind. He has
been in Europe for something like three

free silver. There has been a change
since then. however. The woods are very
quiet now. and the sound money senti-

Senator Quay has been the quietest man
sylvania the other day. There is said to
be a reason for it, however. His old pre-
ceptor, the senior Cameron of Pennsyl-
vania, used to say, Never write letter;
send a man" Mr.. Quay believes in that
maxim, and mentions it sometimes to his
political co-workers. Foraker of Ohio is
one of his co-workers in current politics.
1t is said he sent a man to Quay not long
ago. and that the mans message was
something like this: Don't say a word
about presidential nominations until at
ter the Ohio campaign" People who
know say the Pennsylvania will heed his
friends injunction.

Wherein l knew not things that be

To have a place in the high choir

My simple song.
Men would not hear me then. and now

When white hairs thatch the furrowed
Crowns come too late!
The best of life went long ago
From me; it was not much at best;
Only the love that young hearts know,
The dear unrest.
Back on my past through gathering

Once more cast my eyes, and see
Bright shapes that in my better years
Surrounded me!
They left me here, they left me there.

WashingtOn's Theory in Practice.
The Birmingham Age-Herald Dem.)

The Tuskegee Normal and Industriai
school for the colored race was estab-
lished in 1881. Gen Marshall of Boston
advanced $1,000 with which to buy plan
tation, and the state appropriates 81 600
year. Booker T. Washington, a young
colored man from Virginia, was placed
in charge. He put into practice those
principles he elucidated in his speech az
the opening of the exposition. and the
result has been a wonderful success. He
believes in educating the colored race
along industrial rather than literary lines.
He knew that the colored youths We're
poor, and he arranged so that they could
work out part of their tuition. The first
school year began with one teacher ana
thirty pupils. The scholastic year just
ended closed with sixty-six teachers and
$50 pupils. The property of the school
consists of 1900 acres of land and forty
buildings. The expenses of the pupil are
about SIS a year

There is something very pathetic about
Train Robber Perry's attempt to- blind
Y, states prison. He appears to love
liberty better than his eyesight and ran
needles into his eyes for the purpose of
destroying his sight in the hope that it
would influence the governor to grant him
a pardon. Perry says he has reformed,
and wishes to lead a correct life. He
could not prove the sincerity of his reform,
he thought, in a manner more convincing
them by voluntarily binding himself.
Without sight, it would be impossible for
him to commit robberies, which the gov
ernor would appreciate and might there
fore be constrained to give him his liberty.

The View Cotton Bale.
From the Nashville Banner DENY.

Cotton planters and buyers in the far
Their south are becoming much interested
in a new method of baling the staple
which is said to be a great Improvement
over the old square baling system. BY
the new method the cotton is wound into
compressed cylindrical bales, which, II is
said, keep the cotton in a better condi-
ton. The bales are wrapped with a strip
of tweve-inch osnaberg. II is claimed
that by the machinery used, which COM
81 per bale is made by the producers. The
serious objection that was at first urged
against the cylindrical bale was that il
could not be sampled. 1t is now claimed
that this objection has been removed by
the invention and successful use of an
automatic samplng machine, which viii
while il is being compressed. 1t is pro-
posed that each gin company shall certify
to the samples so that their certificate
will protect the consumer and prevent
loss Of weight by future reckless sam
ping.

Chairman Cunningham ought to be re-
moved from the leadership of the Popu-
list party at once. 1t is the principle of
that party to do all of its blood-letting
in a fgurative sense merely. When it
talks about throttling the money power.
or stabbing the democracy. or riding in
blood up to the brides, it is merely in
dulging in hyperboie. 1t seems. however,
that the chairman takes populism TOO Sc
riously. to judge from his spilling of dem
ocratic blood at the Atlanta exposition
grounds on Monday night.

count of his pronounced views on the Sill

the wrecking of the Democratic party

Reagan's feeling that this government is
wrecked whether by Mr.. Cleveland or

BLOODY Brides Waite is again at the
front At Canton, O., last Sunday, upon
the invitation of some of the populists
of the place, he preached mock sermon.
His text seems to have been: Christ
drove the money changers out of the tenn
pie; did you ever hear of a Methodist
preacher who drove the money sharks
out of his fold?" The character of the
sermon may be imagined from the text.
The preachers, as might be expected,
are after the old fraud with a sharp
stick. But he is very tough.

Quite a number of public speakers,

ting red in the face because the United
States government does not accord be-
lgerent rights to Cubans in their uprising

republic is a government on paper with
part of Its so-called officers in Cuba ana

tainable Is not a government de facto.
The United States government has GER

perform them decently; it cannot rush
to the recognition and assistance of every
attempt to throw OFF Spanish rule, ana
must wait until the Cubans show that
they have a status justifying recognition.

Gabe Was one of Them.

while his personal convictions were di-

eSts were strong enough to whip him into

was always a blue swallow tail, with
brass buttons, and his eyes focused at
the point about three inches from the

ways had scores of friends. One day

the democratic Gabe, who was walking
back and forth gesticulating eXcitedly

hardly look well in print.
