be no yacht race over any course wher,
such interference continually occurred
The fact that in the first race these boats
annoyed the American boat as much as
the English craft and were impartial in
their insolence if fact it is offers not the
slightest excuse for such interference
Thursday, and that the outside boats did
interfere there ism t much room to doubr
in view of the frantic appeals made by the
New York papers for all boats to keep
outside the line and to give the yachts
fair play. When all this is considered
there seems TO be ground for the Val

half million dollars has been expended to
give free show of this kind for national
laurels no excursion boat or other craft
should be permitted TO affect the result In
the slightest degree. We hope the Val

doubt that may exist as to the interference
The New York sun, speaking of the
previous race says: While booming
along in the lee of the starting line the
Defender found tug SO placed that she
had to veer off from the wind in most
aggravating manner. This threw her so
far from her course that she was barely
able to cross the bow OF the big Steamer
that was lying broadside to little further
along, and when she turned to come hack
she was obliged to run away off in the lee
OF the big hulk. at least 400 feet ont of

IL reliance can be placed on the dis
patches there would seem on first thought
to be difference in the attitudes of Lord
Dunravcn and Mr.. Iselin toward their
respective crews. The former in order to
get the best work out of his men promised
them pension In case the Valkyrie won
the cup. From an American standpoint
the promise was an easy one to make and
the conditions such that there wasn't the
slightest likelihood that the pension
would have to be paid On the other hand

his crew nor their captain and took the

English crew did everything In their
power to win Tuesdays race. Indeed
there Is question whether in their eager
ness to secure a life pension they were not
reckless about fooling the Defender. As
regards the crew of the American yach,
they are Maine men. They come OF a race

Seeking the Slump.
Boston Advertiser. }

Saw mills are hard at work in the for
ests of Michigan and Maine. The woods
there and elsewhere are swarming with
politicians. The common impression is
that your prudent politician takes to the
lumber region because he feels weak
ness in the lumbar region. We are au-
thorizcd to say that this popular impress
sion is erroneous. The reason he takes
to the woods is not that bis backbone is
feeble, but In order that when the cam
palgn opens he may not have to travel
far to take the stump.

1872, when Governor Perham appointed
Hon. John F. Anderson, the precedent of
giving one member of that party place
upon the board has, very properly, re-
manned in force. In his official work, Mr.
Chadbourne is never partisan, and the
success that has attended his labors upon
the board has secured for him the hearty
respect and good will of the people of his
State, irrespective of party affiliations.

Under enlightened and conscientious
some instances better than in q coun-
try where the people govern themselves.
In achieving these, however, it must treat
it's subjects like children and under such
regime they are not likely to attain to the
control of manhood. Just now Russia
contemplates taking the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquor from the
private individual and assuming it herself,
This Ia ostensibly done to prevent the
abuse which the saloon interest in that
country-as in every other land-inillcts
upon the masses. The Russian peasant
has an especial fondness for Intoxicating
liquors. The rum element takes ad
vantage of that and tries to encourage
drunkenness. Competition in the rum
traffic has made this almost necessity on
the part of the liquor dealer He offers
the Russian peasant every inducemcnt to
drink, often taking his credit and in the
end has as complete control OF his body
and worldly possessions as he has of his
soul. The government will be able, prob
ably, to improve upon this condition and
while good results may be obtained In
this manner the government will be
making IA pretty penny out of the traffic,
Russia has no computations about using
the money so obtained to pay airy kind of
bills. 1t will command sum through
this means which 1t may find very con
venient in time of war, Possibly If the
Nihilists do not succeed in killing him,
the new Car may do something for
popular education with the revenues thus
derived from the liquor traffic. Russia
is in such a dcplornble condition that even
these steps look like great reforms. There
may, however, come time, when the
government itself If hard pressed will en-.
courage the sale OF intoxicants to increase
Its revenue. Such result is possible.
