Unsatisfactory

The manner in which America has
retained its grip on the International
Yacht Cup, is anything but creditable
TO us as rue sports.
We have won a race on a foul, and
also kept the British from having a
fair course, by crowding the sea with
steamboats, between the English
yacht and the stake boat. 1t was not
purposely done, but it is annoying
and humiliating to national pride that
such a thing vas allowed to happen.
When the foul occurred the Defender
should have hoisted no signal Of pro-
rest, but sailed the heat out, and then
Dunraven after seeing the damage
done the Yankee craft, would like n
gentleman said:
Il fouled you and you made no pro-
test, let's call the heat off and try
again"
They would have established a good
feeling, and been much more salts

the Yacht Club to keep the course
clear, is all nOnse nse. They could
have compelled the owner Of every
steamer carrying passengers to de
post $1,000 as a forfeit for getting
into the course, and if the crafts about
New York refused to do this. when
they were making thousands daily by
reason Of the race, the Yacht Club
could have moved the course 50 far
from New York that he business Of
the boats would have been knocked to
smithereens.

Fined for Calling His Baby Francis.
from the London Daily Newsl
A correspondent an Engllshman liv-
ing in Germany for business purposes,
writes to us as follows: English law
is often said to brlstle with anomalies,
but my experience over here will show
that other countries are, in some res
poets at any rate, worse off. In October
last my wife had a son, and we desired
TO give him my Christian name, Fran
els When I went to the standes-amt
to register this name, registration was
refused. l was informed that according
to the law of the 18th day of Germinal
of the year II, only names which are in
the calendar or taken from ancient his
tory are permitted. made inquiries as
to the origin and history of this law,
and am told that at the time this act
was passed there were in Paris a large
number of people who demonstrated
their politics by giving their children
the name Robespierre and the like.
This was objectional to the party in
power, and hence the law. 1t still re-
mains in force in some parts of the
German empire which at that time
were French, and excludes in these
parts the use Of such real German
names as Hans, Mariana and Anna
liese Che .ancestress of the princely
house of Aphalt Dessau.)
II appealed to all the superior courts
for more liberal Interpretation of the
law, but neither was my plea that

calendars, regarded, nor was my claim
that Sir Francis Drake and Francis Ba-
con might be regarded as heroes of an

in securing the assistance Of the foreign
office, and her majesty's charge daft
fairs at Munich endeavored to obtain
me the permission l desired, to call my
son by my own name, but 1t was all
without avail; the registration was for
hidden. The higher courts at Zwei-

During the recent hard times the re-

been booming. The number of enlist
ments last year was 1888, bringing the
regular army up to the full establish
ment The inspector general reports
that the social position of recruits is
steadily improving, since more men of
the middle classes are now joining the
army, with the view Of rising to the
higher non-commissioned ranks or to
warrant officers and retiring on good
pension. The spread Of education, too
naturally is having an effect, and the
cases are now rare in which the recruit
can neither read nor write. The num-
Der of men Joining who have learned
trades is diminishing, but the number
of clerks is increasing. This is at
tributed to the low price paid for mere
clerical work and the improvement in
the wages of mechanics.

DESPo TISM AND DUST.

There are times when even the most
confirmed and persistent believer in
popular government lis apt to feel that O.
despotism would be about the right
thing and that he would Nike to be the
despot. just think what could be done
in New Haven to-day if the city were
ruled by an able-bodied and able-mind-
ed despot-suchs as perhaps Mayor Sar-
gent would have been had he had the
power. He could decide this morning
that he had breathed about enough COM
minuted trap-rock, horse excrement,
dried spit, etc., ETC., etc. Then he could
clap his hands. and Mustapha would
appear, tumbling over himself in his
eagerness to be on time. Then he could
say to Mustapha, LOOK here, Mus, I'm
tired. My lungs are sore, my throat is
sore, my nose is store and my eyes are
sore. If you don't have every street in
New Haven watered before night off
goes your head, and back you go to the
vile dust from which you sprung" Then
Mustapha would fly around as If he were
a whole Board of Public Works in a
state Of activity preceding a deal. He
would assure the chaps under him that
If they didn't carry out his orders he
would see that they wouldn't need any
supper, and very soon the whole de-
partment of street-watering would be
literally working for dear life, And
when the despot went out in disguise
i'm the evening to see if his subjects We're
having a good time in the theatres and
saloons and suburbs he would see that
Muistapha had done his work we'll, and
would retsolveto give him bag of pias-
tres and to confer on him another de
gree I'M the Grand Order Of the Great
Horn Spoon
But there Is no despot in New Haven
There is a Board of Public Works, a
CIrcumlocution Office, Water Com
pany and a. Contractor. "And the dust
of a dirty to-day fs the dirt of al dusty
Tomorrow" 1t would be sad thing if
government Of the people by the people
for the people should perish in New Fla
ven, but if such government makes the
people perish 1T stands to reason that
such government will perish.

Those who have been stuck with mort
cages in "the bad lands" of Kansas
will perhaps have an interest in know
ing how the game was worked, though
it left them with neither interest nor
principal. The Kansas City Star tells
the tale. One of the mortgage sharks
most promising fields of operation was
Wichita, in southern Kansas. Here in
the boom times of 1886 many such signs
were to- be seen in the principal streets
as "Great Western Trust Loan and

usually consisted of a well dressed fell

eastern correspondents. His scheme Of
business was very simple. He went out

Flint Hills country, some fifty miles
west of Wichita, and having located
various holdings" of gravel and stunt

for them, proposition so remarkable
that the owners often rubbed their
eyes to discover whether their smart
visitor was not cruelty joking with them.

Mr.. Clarence Deming of this city gave
utterance to profound truth when he
said concerning some statements made

the electric railroads, Percentages are

They certainly don't mean much in
railroad matters, as many who have
been led or misled, by them in in
vestment or speculation in railroad
bonds and stocks have discovered. And
they don't mean any more in politics
The last great Democratic campaign
was a campaign of percentages. The
Democratic orators had their minds
and mouths full of them. The Demo-
cratic newspapers had to print sup
plements to meet the long-felt want
for percentages. Those who believed
the orators and had faith in the news
papers went to the polls with the per-
centage Of gain that was to come to
them from the victory of Democracy
clearly and accurately figured out in
their minds. And they have been dis
gusted by finding that it could never
be figured out anywhere else. They
know now that percentages don't mean
