SORROW At YALE.

corneIis Great victsr.

New Haven, CT, June 25.--The news
boat race at Poughkeepsie came upon
New Haven like thunderbolt out OF a
clear sky. Early in the boating season
an element OF fear of Cornell entered
into Yale's speculations as to the out
come of the race, but after Wednes-
days freshman race, Cornell was rele-
gated to third place and a poor third
at that. The work of Yales 1900 crew
buoyed up Yale's spirits to such an ex-
tent that, today. Yale was looked upon
as a comparatively sure winner over
Harvard. with the Ithacans out of 1t.
Large crowds gathered in front of the
various newspaper offices and watched
The Associated Press bulletins. AS the
race progressed and Cornell took the
lead everyone at once said: she can't
hold it, AT the end of the race every
one was dumb with genuine astonish-
ment. Several members of the Yale
faculty reached the news in the office
of The Associated Press and they. too.
expressed their astonishment and
looked their great chagrin. -
The blow to Yale men is-xery severe
and the town, or that portion of it
which has any interest irits university
affairs. is crestfallen. Quite, elaborate
plans had been made for a celebration
here, tonight, but all Yale is undergo
ing. tonight. one of the most bitter ex-
periences in her athletic history.

The power to cure is there. You are not

Bound to To Defeated Anyway.

To THE EDITOR OF THE Sus--Sir: The accusation
against Mr.. Plat that he was responsible for the de-
feat OF Scth Low because the Republican organiza-
tion failed to indorsc him Is without justification.
Probably Low got as many votes without as he
would have received with such IN Endorsement. Dem.
ocrats anI Mugwumps voted for him who would
have refused TO support him II he had been a Rcpub.
lican candidate. As Il was, they voted for him az an
enemy of the Republican party. The Endorsement OF
Low by the Republican Convention on n non.p1rtisan
platform and the RELOCATION of Republican issues to
obscurity would have released Republicans from
party loyalty. ] think II may he assumed. therefore,
that Low got oil the Republican votes he would have
got II he had been indOrSei and many more Demo.
cratic and Mugwump votes out OF pure hostility to
the Repu' lican party.
He was bound TO DO defeated anyway. and II is
lucky for the Republican party that II did not Eacri-
nee itself TO him In vain, STALwART.

since we have disappearing carriages even
for the 12.inch, and such mounts are the
cheapest and best.
Another point Is that u supply OF new
guns and mortars is very far ahead Of the
carriages and emplaccments, 30 that efforts
should DO concentrated on the two latter
until they come up nearer to tho output Of
guns. The libcrality Of Congress to coast
defence during the last two years has been
most praiseworthy, and at the steady and
moderate pace now adopted by those in
charge of It, the appropriations required for
a twelvcmonth's work are not excessively
large. With hundreds Of heavy guns and

Tho Hon. Nelson Dingley's English.

What did the Hon. NELSON D1NGLEY
mean when he informed the Home Market
Club of Boston on Wednesday night that in
last weeks elections throughout the coun-
try the Democrats "gained their only VIC
tory in a protective State through an alb
surd attempt to run two Republican candi-
dates for Mayor of New York cityf"
he means to apply the adjective absurd
to the attempt to run q Mugwump candi-
date avowedly in order to overthrow and
smash the Republican organization In the
Greater New York, Mr.. D1NaLEY has not
got hold Of the right word. 1t Is not strong
enough for the occasion. Mr.. DINGLEy's
vocabulary contains adjectives much more
suitable for tho description Of that enter.
prise of s~elfshness and spite.
But IL he means that after the self-nomi.
nation Of the Mugwump candidate by pro.
cess of bogus petition it was "absurd - for
the regular Republican organization to
proceed in the regular and orderly way to
put q Republican candidate in tho field,
something must have tangled up his &C.
customed common sense.
He can straightcn it out again by a sim.
pie process. Let him suppose that an cleo
tion in Maine, and possibly the fate of pro.
lection in the United States, turned on the
vote of his own city of Lewiston, and that
the Mugwumps, the soreheads, and the
traitors in Lewiston had all combined
to destroy the party which he leads in
that region; and that they sought to &c.
complish the destruction of Mr.. DINGLEY's
party by putting up a Mugwump for Mayor
of Lewiston and appealing to Republicans
thereabouts to forsake Mr.. DINGLEY's or.
ganization and be non partisans" in order
to smash DINGLEY.
Now we come to a legitimate use of Mr..
DINGLEY's word absurd. 1t would be alb
surd to suppose that under such circum.
stances he, a practical politician and q
thorough organization man as we'll as q
tariff statesman, would not do precisely
what the Republican leaders did in this
town, namely, hold their convention and
nominate their candidate and preserve
their organization and do their duty like
men and like Republicans.
Absurd is the word for the contrary sup
position. This excellent and useful Re.
publican veteran should overhaul his die.
t~ionary before he makes another speech.

Blanco and the New Edicts.

The pressure exerted by our Government
upon Spain is beginning to tell. The revo-
cation Of WEYLER's merciless concen.
tration order. tardy though it is, marks a
change of policy. The pitiful sufferings,
the numerous deaths hitherto caused by
that cruel edict. are wholly beyond rem.
edy, but at least some relief comes for the
future. The ravaRes of fever and hunger,
however, will still for a long time go on,
although the issue of rations by the Span.
ish authorities and the measures for fur
nishing employment on the plantations
will bring help and hope.
The new Captain General Is busy in un-
ravelling other ruinous work of his pred
ecessor. He has just signed an edict "af-
fording every facility for sugar grinding,
and authorizing agricultural and indus
trial labor even on those plantations which
are in arrears with their contributions
The military regulations restricting the
use of agricultural implements have also
been revoked.
These measures, it is true, do not go to
the root of the difficulty. They only put an
end to some of the needless barbarities that
WEYLER inflicted on non -combatants. The
great problem of securing peace and indie
pendence for Cuba remains, but the hope
grows stronger of securing those great ends,
when Spain sees, as perhaps she may soon
see, that her cause Is hopeless.

As to the political evolution Of her sex.
Mrs. FosTEn undertakes to refute the no.
tion that women do not, as yet, constitute
a positive force In American politics. She
maintains that the theory Is controvcrted
by the fact that In all the Northern States,
and, to some extent in the Southern,
women are acknowledged by political lead.
crs to have been an effective and. Mt times,
controlling element In many local political
contests, II not also In late national cleo.
tions. We arc reminded that In the four
States Of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and
Idaho women possess the Same franchise
as Ia enjoyed by men, and arc equally
eligible to all Offices. in tho gift of the
people. In tho State Of Kansas, women
vote ut municipal elections; In Iowa,
taxpayinR women vote on questions in.
volving the expenditure Of public moneys;
In Illinois women vote for trustees of the
State University ; and in more than half of
the States they vote on questions affecting
the public schools.
Thus, while the prevailing impression is
that women are deprived of the ballot, the
fact is that women do vote on many cues.
ions and in many places. With regard to
the wisdom evinced by women in those
cases where they have been invested with
the full franchise, It IL pointed out that tho
women Of Colorado were largely instrument
tai In rcdeeming that State from Populism
in 1894, and. that q larger proportion of
women than Of men in the same Common
wealth wero loyal to the party of sound
money in the heated political contest of
1895. In view Of this fact, Mrs. FOSTER
submits that the present political influence
of women cannot be justly accused of being
less intelligent han that Of men.
To those who SILVER ut the new order of
things, when thus distinctly set forth, Mrs.
FOSTER would say Be not alarmed the
order Is not so very new, after all. The
change has been gradual and natural. No
man, she thinks, who commands respect,
would go back to the old order he would
not close the schools to girls; he would not
set them to spinning and weaving. On the
contrary, he must rejoice In every step by
which they have approached the industrial,
educational, and political vantage ground
which ought to be the common inheritance
of all human beings.
