Political History. A Necessary Cor
reCtiOn.

In an editorial article discussing the |
relations Of Palmer and Buckner Dem
ocrsts to the Mckinley Administration |
and the future OF American politics, the |
New York Evening Post makes this un-
qualified assertion:
Tho gold Democrats became, under
these circumstances last summer] little
more than an influence. They did all that
they could do. they organized what was left
OF their following, ressserted their princi-
pies, put up two excellent candidates for
President and Vice President, and by this
means elected Mckinley"
Ever since the defeat OF Bryan in
November last, the small but loqua-
cious faction of sound-money Demo-
Gratis who preferred their personal COM
fort to direct vote for Mckinley and
Hobart, have been pretending that in
some manner not definitely stated their
votes helped to save the election and
the country. The pretentions Of the
Indianapolis party are growing some
what holder as the event becomes more
remote. We do not remember, how
ever, that any Of their organs has before
now ventured to assert distinctly and
squarely that the election OF Mckinley
and the defeat of Bryan were due to the
nomination Of Gen. Palmer and Gen.
Buckner, and to the 1881 votes cast
in the whole country for the Indian
apolis ticket.
The proposition Of the Evsning Post
is contrary to the truth. There are
conceivable circumstances under which
the result of the election might have
been determined by these 1873 900 votes
of the Cleveland Democrats and Mug
e., al bat
those are not the circumstances which
actually existed last November. The
Palmer and Buckner vote did not elect
Mckinley. 1t did not defeat Bryan.
1t did not affect the result of the cleo
ton at all.
The proof of this is in the election
figures. They demonstrated beyond
the possibility of question that il every
sound-money Democrat or Mugwump
who voted for Palmer and Buckner
had voted for Bryan and Sewall, Mr..
Mckinley would nevertheless be Presi-
dent to-day all the same.
1t seems almost cruel TO exhibit in
detail the numerical poverty of this
Indianapolis movement, for it is in gro
tesque contrast with the vocal preten-
sions of the historians and prophets OF
that movement. Yet it is high time
to state the facts.
In every one of the New England
States the vote for Palmer and Buckper
was very much smaller than the plu.
rality of Mckinley over Bryan. That
is to say, it made no difference what
ever as to the result in Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut, whether
the supporters of the indianapolis
movement voted for their own ticket OF
for the nnnocratiC ticket.

A coNTEMP oRARY repeats the
weighty argument that has been ad-
vanced in defence of the collateral in
heritance tax law passed at the last
session, that it may raise from 500, 900
to $4,000 revenue, and supplements
this reason with the conclusive allega-
tion that other States have a similar
law. This is all very convincing and
satisfactory. If revenue is the main
consideration, and the fact that in some
other State or States, certain revenue
producing laws exist, justi6es the
means, let Vermont follow the example
of Nevada and legelize prize-fghting;
or enact general license law for the
sale of liquor; or laws tolerating some
one or all the various kinds of iniquity
that are sanctioned by law in this State
or that and which are made the sources
of revenue. The matter of revenue is
not conclusive of the justice of law;
nor is the fact that some other State
has made such law final as to its wis
dom. The greater part of the State
press seems to have become so well
satisfied that the collateral inheritance

lions. Mr.. Cook has avowedly copied
the. English stroke as he saw it at
Henley last July. He has not made all
the mechanical changes that would
have been necessary to have made
Yale row exactly as the Englishmen
row, but he has made all the changes
that are necessary for applying the
principles OF the English stroke.
BY this 1 mean that Mr.. Cook has
adopted the narrower bladed English
oars and also heightened them out, so
as to give the men more leverage in
board of the outrigger. He. has not
seated his men on the alternate sides
Of the keelson, however, but kept them
amidships. This is a point, however,
which such authorities as Mr.. Leh-
mann, who is now coaching Harvard,
considers as amounting to nothing
more than fancy Mr. Cook has got

leverage on the oar that the English
men get by shortening up Yale's slides.
Last year Yale's slides We're a trif1e
over tWenty-one inches; this year they
have been cut down to sixteen inches.
The slides formerly were raised aft at
an angle Of fifteen degrees; this year
Yales slides run on a horizontal plane.
These changes have been made to suit
the longer body reach of the English
stroke. The idea of the English method

milo contest is enigma-an enigma Court
ney viii try to solve in the next fortnight
The story told by one of the expelled crew
men gives different version Of the matter.
According to his story, the old varsity men,
believing that their position was secure, and
that little extra hard training just before
the race would put them in first-class condi-
ton, have of late been careless as to the
training regulations. One thing in particular
IN which they transgressed was in the eating
or strawberry shortcake. Now, the eating
or moderate amount of this delectable dish,
even as 1t is concocted in Ithaca boarding
houses, is not fatal, but it is strictly for
hidden to men in training. According to the
crew man mentioned, several OF the old men
nave been INDUCING freely in the forbidden
deMcacy, thus setting a bad example to the
freshmen, as well as hurting themselves.
NOW, all of these things come to the notice
of Charles Courtney he has secret service
system so complete that nothing however
minute, ever escapes him. Consequently, on
in the wholesome manner which is his wont.
At any rate, he has cut down the crew to
ten men, a great saving to the management,
ana whether 1t Is partly in the nature of a
bluff or not the men now chosen have got
to get in shape very soon for the four-m
race. And while this crew Is undoubtedly a
good one, If Its past can be relied upon Cor
neiPs stock will necessarily go down, and her
chances of winning over the veteran oarsmen
OF Harvard and Yale are not nearly so good
as they were two weeks ago. These young
sters are strong and full of vim, and no fault
can be found with their form, but whether
they can be brounght up into four-mile shape
In the short time remaining is question.
