It is true the America S cup remains
here, but the manner of it's staying gives
little satisfaction to Americans They
do not know which is the faster boat,
Valkyrie Or Defender. It is probably
Defender, but we are not absolutely GER
tain. The reason for it is the brutal
hoggishness Of the excursion steamers
which crowded SO close on the yachts
that they could not secure sea room. At
least that is the reason Dunraven gave
for withdrawing from the race, and
Dunraven has shown himself at every
point a square sportsman and q man Of
the highest honor and courtesy. He
spent 500, 700 in building Valkyrie and
crossed the ocean with her to race for
the cup. He was entitled at least to an
answer from the cup committee when
he sent them his letter protesting against
the crowding Of the excursion steamers.
There was laundering all through. When
Valkyrie hit Defender at the beginning
Of the second race, the cup committee
had only to hoist it's recall flag. Then
both yachts would have returned to the
starting point, and the damage to the
Defender could have been repaired and
the two have begun the race over fair and
square. Dunraven might also, when he
discovered that he had fouled Defender,
have stopped until he learned the amount
Of damage sustained. There were half a
dozen things that might have been done,
any one of which ought to have been
done, but was not So we have the cup
and regrets. -

It was very discourteous, indeed it
was, for the northern army Of Germany
to lick the southern army in the sham

The size Of Emperor Billee can be judge

Doubtless many inlanders are puzzled
to know the meaning Of the expression
slime allowance as applied to racing
yachts. Other things being equal, boat
that is longer and can carry more sail
can go faster than a shorter one. Allow
ance must be made for this in comput-
ing the respective rates of speed of two
racing vessels. For instance, Valkyrie
III was nearly five inches longer on the
load water line than Defender. Valkyrie
I'll also carried 4s5 square feet moro
canvas than Defender. She was also
three feet wider than the American
boat and was Of deeper draft by foot.
When each yacht was measured, it
was decided that Valkyrie III should
give Defender 20 Ito seconds time al
lowance-that is to say, if Valkyrie had
come in 20 seconds ahead Of Defender,
Defender would still have been counted
to win because Of the time allowance
In the race two years ago between
Vigilant and Valkyrie II, Vigilant gave
Valkyrie II a time allowance of / min
ute IS seconds.

MRS. LEASE Al SIOUX FALLS.


Siou:i Fans Preas:-the populists
who secured Mrs. Mary +. Lease for
q lecture last evening must have been
disappointed in one particular, as
Germania hall was only two-thlrds
filed, and a majority OF those pres
ent were women. Possibly most OF
those expected something besides IL
political campaign speech, but that
was what they got. and delivered in
the wejl-known breezy style of the
female apostle OF calamity from
bleeding Kansas. Regardless OF the
meaning of the words she says, it's
worth u quarter to hear her say
them, with that wonderful c~ontralto
voice, powerful and clear as a foe
horn at times, and again as rasping
as if clogged with the blowing sand
of the state which she has done so
much to make notorious. Here are
her choice expressions:
"lou pious fellows, whoprayevery
day thy kiagdom come,'-up from
your knees, You pious hypocrites
and drive the British robbers from
our shores"
1.-The God appointed champion, W.
j. Bryan, will drive out the hook
nosed harpies of the house of Heber."
This style of mental legerdemain
continued to the end OF the chapter
and was a fitting finale to the gro
tesque street parade OF the evening.

DEMOCRATS

From Hand county up to the ma
tional ticket, or from the national
ticket down to Hand county the
democrats are weakening, and the
fellow who always POLITICALLY remarks
'its a lie," can consider this evil
dence:
The Bryan headquarters in Wash
ington have been closed and desert
ed, leaying the east to take care OF
itself.
In New York their candidate for
governor has drawn of the ticket
and scores the Chicago platform.
Many lesser candidates in many
places have also withdrawn.
IN Hand county Mr.. Anderson,
candidate for county Judge, has
withdrawn from the ticket, which of
course seriously weakensit. THERE
silver issue is dead, and the demo-
Gratis know it. They have nothing
to turn to.

Congressman GrOsvenor, OF Ohio,
who obtained prestige as a political
mathematician in figuring so close
ly upon Mckinley's nomination, has
given out a table upon the presiden-
tial election. 1t will require 224 cleo
toral votes to win. He gives Mckin-
ley absolutely sure 27S; almost sure,
30 more; with n good chance for a
big share of "a now doubtful. He
comedies as sure for Bryan II states
with only SO electoral votes. This
is about the situation: Mckinley
has 27S sure; and he is reasonably
sure OF 30 more. Bryan has So sure,
and q possible chance OF 81 more.
Although with the wave going so
strongly for Mckinley, he is more
than likely to carry some of Bryan's
possible territory. At any ratethere
is no longer any doubt in the minds
of Intelligent men that Mckinley
will have many votes to spare.

One Of the most striking features
of this campaign is the group OF old
soldiers speaking together for Me-
kinley and patriotism. They are
Gen. Sickles Gen Seigle Gen. Howard,
Gen. Alger and Corporal Tanner.
These men are all old weather-beat-
Ell veterans, the first three being life
long democrats. Gen. Sickles has
lost a leg and Gen. Howard an arm
in the service. They have, OF course,
no ambition for the future, and need
no pay. They have secured all the
honor and distinction that any dis
tinguished soldier could wish. These
men are appealing to their country
men through the highest motives, to
be patriotic, to stand by national
honor, and to vote against Bryan
with his mistaken financial ideas,
and against his lawless and revOlu-
tlonary platform. Every old soldier,
and every patriotic citizen should
hearken to their remarkable call at
this time. Such a potent factor has
never before been seen in American
politics.

SACRAMENTO PRIr1AREES
Knocked Out in the First Round by
the Committee.

After the Alameda contest was closed
before the Committee on Credentials
last night, the Sacramento County con-
test was called, and DR.. Dixon stated
that the case for the contestants would
he presented by Judge William F. Hen
ley and Charles F. Gardner
But DR.. Dixon was mistaken. Mr..
Gardner was not even seen, much less
heard upon the question, and judge
William F. Henley was allowed only
q limited time to tell what he knew. He
opened his argument for the contestins
delegation by stating that the regula :
delegates had been chosen by the Coun-
ty Central Committee, which body had
contended that primaries should not be
held in the county because there could
he no such thing as a fair primary held.
He intimated that the statement had
been made by F. r. Dray, Chairman
Of the County Central COMMITTEES
The speaker then started to tell how
the contestants had proceeded to or
Sanize for the purpose of holding pri-
maries and selecting delegates, but was
stopped by an inquisitive committee
man. who inquired whether the dele :
gates appointed by the County Central
Committee had been appointed regu-
iarly, and replied that he supposed so.
That settled the case Of the contest
ants. The committee didn't want to
hear any more talk about the matter,
and said so in as many words. A motion
was made and carried to the effect that
