tablished a record as a weather boat.
and her heavier and stouter rig did
good service. The keelboat outpointed
the center boarder and outfooted her
herself sitter in a breeze and easier
in getting through rough water. She
made less fuss and left clean wake.
AT the outer mark she had five min

The Defender won by minutes and IL
seconds elapsed time over the twenty
mile course.
After the race the following an
nouncement was made by the cup com
mittee:
The Americas cup committee have
selected the yacht Defender, of the
New York Yacht club, as against Val

Secretary.
Lord Dunraven's Valkyrie was out
for practice spin and to give his
lordship an opportunity to see the
race. The cup-hunter was too late in
getting under way, and arrived only
in time to see the finish. Less sail
was carried by the Englishman, a
working topsaii being used instead OF
the club topsals of the American boats,
but he seemed to heel over more and
to labor harder in the sea than even
the blunt-nosed Vigilant.
Lord Dunraven gave the racers q
wide berth, and seemed to avoid al
lowing any one chance to get line
on the speed of his boat compared with
| the Yankee flyers.
The official starting time of the two
boats was:
Defender, 11:1O:0s; Vigilant, 11:1O:1S.

So every uprising In the past result

has been for cause or supposed cause,
but this has not prevented the swingof
the political pendulum just as far in
the opposite direction within two or
four years.
The peoples dissatisfaction with the
last congress was not with the princi-
pal acts of legislation, but with the
delay and faithlessness in some impor-
tant particulars that marked the action
of the senate. The surrender to the
sugar trust and the sshold-up's of the
Wilson bill by the sugar, iron, coal
and transportation rings, angered the
democratic voters, and Justly. But the
important extension of the free list
and the reduction of duties on the nee
essaries of the people met the hearty
approval of the great popular ma lori
ties that condemned MeKinleyism in
1890 and again in 1892.
The .long-eontinue distress of the
people was not occasioned by anything
which the democratic congress did or
attempted. That distress was caused

FACTS ABOUT GOLD RESERVE.
Rapid Decrease In the Last Days Of tn
Harrison Administration.

Rapid Decrease In the Last Days Of the
Harrison Administration.
According to the official statement of
the public debt for February %, 1889,
four days before President Cleveland's
retirement and President Harrison's in
auguration, the gold coin in the treas
ury on that day amounted to 1929, 1885,
$50, and the gold bars to 500, 76O, 799,
making together 1926, 456, 69s. De-
Quoting the amount of the outstanding
gold certificates on February $3.50
21o,7I7-we have s196. 245,9sl as the
gold balance, or what is generally
called the gold reserve. We cannot
give the changes which took place in
the next four days, or until Secretary
Window took charge of the treasury
on the sth of March, but it is safe to
say that the reserve was above S196,
co., Goo 1t had been growing right
aIong-neariy s., DOC, 900 in the month
of Fepruary-and it is our impression
that several hundred thousand dollars
were added during the first week OF
August.
Compare this with the public debt
statement for February %, 1898, few
days before President Cleveland's sec
ond Inauguration. The gold coin and
bars in the treasury amounted then to
S217, 672, 947 and the gold certificates in
circulation to STA, 1888, 72e, leaving $780,
2S4, 21S as a balance. The difference in
favor of the democratic administration
is s92, 96l, 763.
This is the difference as shown by
Official reports made few days before
the respective changes in administra-
ton. The figures for the exact dates
of the changes would be still more IA
vorable to Cleveland's administration.
Instead of growing, the gold reserve
was decreasing in the last days of Pres
ident Harrison's administration. Gold
exports had amounted in February to
over s14. OOO, 900 and in three months
going back to December Ito s39, 7O0,-

time the treasury was turned over to

Ample Apology.

Germans are not given to doing things
by halves. When they study, they do it
with thoroughness. Even in their apol-
ogies they go to the root of the matter.
Here, for example, is card published
by tailor in the 'agony column" of
Berlin newspaper. Evidently he believes
that an open confession is good for the
body as we'll as for the soul:
II herewith declare that the journeyman
blacksmith, Herr Karl x, Is very hon.
orable man-most honorable-and take
this opportunity of withdrawing the most
defamatory charges made against him.
Herr Karl x. has already given me good
thrashing for the said slanderous words,

Herr Karl x will not do so again If l
state in a public newspaper that he is all
