WE HAVE NO SINGH

With the arrival of the Valkyrie yacht ing sharps have discovered that she is. in their expressive slang, ripping good boat" She is said to be more powerful than the Defender, and her seaworthiness was demonstrated in the somewhat stormy trip across the Atlantic In the worst weather she "stood up like a church," which is the highest praise a seaman can pay to weatherly craft.
 Yesterdays f1uke in the trial race is not calculated to encourage unbounded faith in the cup defender. The Iselin yacht has a faculty of breaking down that is entirely too common and too ag- gravating. Let us hope the lesson will be the remedying of all defects before the crucial test.
 If we lose the Americas cup, the last vestige of our nautical supremacy shall have gone. Our merchant marine is but the ghost of the day when American sails whitened every sea. All we have left is the glory of our amateur seamen. That dissipated our star sets in the ocean.
 However, this is rather pessimistic We are not beaten yet. We have no mar gin for over confidence The British boat is hummer" and to beat her we will be put to our trumps. Let us hope for the best.

COLONEL DENsoN AT EAST LAKE.

OO1ONEL DGNSON AT BA6I LAhG-
 In his speech yesterday Col William H. Denson unintentionally misquoted the Age Herald and caused 1t to misrepresent him. This paper did not state that Col onel Denson made the assertion that parity and equality meant equal weight. What the Age-Herald said was.
 Hon. William H. Denson claims that the gold and silver dollar should be kept on an equality as well as parity. What does he mean by equality That every gold dollar must weigh as much as sil- yer dollar?
 So much for Colonel Denson's asser- tion that this paper concealed the truth or misrepresented him in any way.
 The rest of the flow of oratory was de- voted to various things, each handled in the masterly way peculiar to the deyotees at the shrine of silver monometallism Early in the speech a lunge was made at the banks. then the ques- ton of parity was lodged in the usual way by the assertion that 1t is not germane to the subject. The es- teemed speaker stepped very gingeriy about the real issues of the matter, spoke of intrinsic value as "a foolish thing which he would not discuss" took his audience into his confidence and told them he had lied for Cleveland and felt responsible for Growers present lien on the presidential chair, and finally an- nounced that if a gold standard candi- date were to be put forward by the Dem- ocratic party he for one would bolt; he hereby served official notification to that effect Incidentally, he remarked that he is a Democrat and understands Democ- racy.
 Colonel Denson's feast of reason cannot be said to have put the sound money cause to sleep. His attack upon the banks will not find lodgment here in Birmingham, where, during the fatal year of 1893, the banks were the city backbone Ills comparison of money to the blood in mans body is very apt, as when too much blood accumulates apoplexy is the result and when too much money is thrown on the market stagnation and depression are quick to come in it's train.
 Colonel Denson also complains that Cleveland did not recognize him as Democrat That is the old cry of the sil- verites, but unfortunately official reeog- hilton, by stress of circumstances, was forced to be limited. Everbody could not get recognition" MT. Cleveland doubtless regrets thi sfact, but it nevertheless re- mains the case.
 Lastly, if the Democratic party wishes to keep Colonel Denson under it's wing, it must nominate his man. He insists on it,

THEY WILL BE APT PUPILS.

The reports of the two Kansas com- mittees (printed elsewhere), which came down to spy out this land, are on the whole gratifying.
 They indulge in some criticism of the farming methods pursued in portions of Alabama. This is to a certain extent per missible. With fertile soil and an equable climate, some of our farmers, perhaps, have been too content with re- turns to seek to increase them.
 But let the sturdy Kansas farmers come and bring with them their improved farming implements and methods. The Age-Herald feels safe in saying that the native farmers will not be long in catch ing on. All they require is the incentive of friendly rivalry.
