Dunraven Refused to Race.

That English sportsman, the Earl of
Dunraven, refused to sailthe Valkyrie
III in the third of the international
yacht races yesterday, because a
small tug happened to cross the path
which his yacht was to follow, SO just
after the start he furled sail and
pulled into harbor. The Earl has de-
clared that unless a less bostructed
course can be found he will not ace
This would be impossible, for such a
curiosity as Lord Dunraven would at
tract a large feet of pleasure craft in
the Arctic Ocean Is well as IN New
York Bay. The fact of the matter is,
the Earl is ashamed that in A years
John Bull has not been able to even
touch the coveted cup and that it still
remains with the descendants of that
who so gracefully accepted Lord
sword at Yorktown a little
over a century ago.

Col. Jones in New York.

Col. Jones, Jones of st. Louis, is in
New York City. 1t is a good thing
for New York City. If it will fix its
gaze upon Col. Jones it will behold a
handsome a II it will view hina
intently it viii discover the light OF
intelligence beamiug in his. deeply,
darkly, beautifully blue eye. If it
would sslearn of the wise and per-
pend" it will listen to Col. Jones, for
Col. Jones bears a message from the
West, q message that the West will
have no Eastern man for President.
Col. Jones is the West. He is bound
less. He used to be hairy if not.
woolly. He is a cyclone in panta-
looms. He is a Populist broad-minded
enough to use the shears and razor.
He denuded himself of his whAkers
n carried off all the honors at Per-
tie Springs Notwithstanding. He is
the journalistic Jaganath. He rides
a bicycle and he rides it over all or
position and over the frequent and
not sufficiently occasional small boy.
he is a man of convictions. Rather
than pay tribute to Wall street he.
had the gold filing taken out of his
teeth and silver substituted therefor
prior to his departure for the metrop-
oils. If any New Yorker Anglers him
he will show those teeth and they will
frighten the New Yorker. Col. Jones
is such a strong silver man that he
would not employ a reporter who
took the gold cure. He won't let
anybody write up golden sunsets. He
threw his office boy out of his window
for singing "Her Golden Hair Was
Hanging Down Her Back not be-
cause he disliked the melody, but be-
cause he could not tolerate the auri-
ferrous reference therein contained. He
maintains that the poets who feigned
the Golden Age were all subsidized
by plutocrats and that P. Ovidius
Naso got eight denari per line for
p~opularizing the fake. He claims
that Midas was the first gold bug and
got what he deserved for his financial
folly. He says that he has proof that
there were sixteen silver apples to
one of gold in the garden of the Hes
perides. He claims that all mythology
is on a gold basis and that therefore
1t is an invention of the Devil and the
triumph of Christianity was a triumph
for free silver. If it had not been for
manipulation of the gold men at
Rome Judas would V have sue
cumbed to the lure of the thirty
pieces of silver. The battle field of
the Cloth of Gold was the battle that
enslaved mankind to the yellow
metal. All crowns are made of gold,
ergo the metal of democracy, Col.
Jones says, is silver. He claims the
Spartans killed off old people not be-
cause they YER old but to prevent
them celebrating their golden we'd
dings. He goes to New York to have
Mr.. Spewlitzer peel the gold leaf off
the dome of the World building. He
is going to have a statute introduced
in all States condemning the three
gold balls of the pawn-broker as a
symbol of slavery to the plutocrats.

out for silver or "bust a gallus" in the
attempt.

CLEVELAND AND A THIRD TERM.
How the Talk of Such an Event Was
Started at Washington.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 12.-In
political circles speculation about a
third term is the general topic of dis
cussion. Politicians have generally
been credited with the agitation of
the subject. A prominent official
here, however, claims the honor of
starting what boom there is for Cleve-
land for a third term and did it through
a letter received from a friend. The
letter eulogized the President as a
tariff reformer and an advocate of
sound money, and argued that Mr..
Cleveland must again lead the party
to prevent disorder and disruption.
The writer enumerated the many vir-
tues of the President, and added
figures to prove that he could be re-
elected if nominated.
The prominent official upon his next
visit to the White House, produced his
friends letter. Mr.. Cleveland read it
slowly, and handing it back smiled
pleasantly and replied: "That is very
kind. But, of course, / haven't
thought of such a thing" The story
got out. Mr.. Cleveland, according to
this story, seems only to have smiled
when the subject was mentioned, and
to have manifested some polite and
natural curiosity about those indulg-
ing in praise of him.
