A LITTLE LATE.
But Antonio Jacinto de Mello Got
There Just the Same.

There Just the Same.
Antonio Jacinto de Mello, late sub
ject of the King of Portugal, will be
able to vote at the coming election,
but he had a close call.
The moving cause that induced Mr..
Mello to become an American and give
Carlos The First a cold shake, did not
assert itself until about s o'clock on
Tuesday evening, when some thought
ful friend suggested that that was the
last day on which newly-naturalized
persons could register for the coming
election
Perhaps Mr.. Mello has some friends
who aspire to office for the next term.
AT all events, he concluded to not put
off till another day his enlistment in
the great army of American citizens.
He hustled about and got the required
number of citizens to attest his fitness
for citizenship, then Judge Hart was
called out, Deputy County Clerk Pfund
summoned from the bosom of his fam
lily, and by 3 o'clock Mr.. Mello was
prepared to register as voter. He
was also full-f1edged American citi-
zen, and no doubt will make a very
good one, as his sponsors had only good
accounts to give of him.
But there came very near being one
voter less at the coming election.

GOING FOR THE AMERICA CUP.

Inc lovers OF aquatic SpOrtS tliu e1u
mirers of yachting generally, even
those who do not yacht themselves, but
are proud of the American yacht
squadrons, will be pleased that the
Americas cup is to be again contested
for. Uncounted Americans who do not
know an eye-bolt from the main brace
take keen interest in the ownership Of
the cup, which for so many years for
eign yacht builders have been attempt
ing to carry away from us.
That our navy has recently achieved
such brilliant success will add infinitely
to the pleasurable concern citizens will
feel in the new contest for the trophy.
We all wish the cup to remain on this
side the water, at the same time every
American wishes a hot contest to be
made for it and if keel layers on the
that can fairly win the trophy, we will
part with it without a murmur.
1t was a Scotchman who contested
for the cup at the last trial and now it
over to US. Sir Thomas Upton has a
brand new yacht, THE Shamrock" up
on the stocks and proposes to bring her
to these waters next summer and show
Yankee yachtsmen how to sail close to
the wind as well aswith a flowing sheet.
1t will not be the first time, however,
that the Irish have challenged for the
cup; the yachtsmen of the Galatea and
of the two Valkyries We're Irishmen,
but their boats were of Scotch design
ing and construction, whereas the
Shamrock is to be all Irish, being laid
down in Belfast, and every stroke Of
work upon her being delivered by Irish
mechanics, and when she is ready for
the contest she is TO be manned by an
Irish crew and commanded by an Irish
yachtsman.
So the Irish propose to make it lively
for US, and to carry the cup across the
blue unless the Yankee builders and
sailors bestir themselves. We believe
the cup will stay with us, that the
Yankee people will turn out a craft that
cannot be beaten, when sailed by
Yankee yachtsmen. At any rate it is
going to be one of the most picturesque
and interesting of sporting contests,
and will be carried. on in the very best
of spirit and the friendliest kind Of
competition.
OF course the New York Yacht Club.
TO which the acceptance of challenges
is left, may prevent the race by de-
clining to accept the prefer for another
International contest. 1t was intimated
that it would do so after the last Val
kyrie incident; it is also said that the
Irish challenges is put forward to
crowd out some other challengers, but
we place no confidence in these
stories The challenge must come
through a yacht club of high stand
ing. of course, and the yacht owner
must be above suspicion and in high
standing among yachtsmen. Upton
fills this requirement, and at least two
Irish clubs are In fine favor among
the yachting fraternity. The New
York club, while it may lay the claim
that the cup has been finally won, and is
no longer in competition, will scarcely
raise such an objection, but will allow
the challenges when they are of the
right kind and from high sources, to be
pat in as often as foreign yachtsmen
conceive the fantastic idea that they
can outsail the Yankee nation.

"There are other practical restraints up
on the freedom Of the president in the ex-

a number of such--apd the president must
deal with them as thus associated. In
each of the great appropriation bills many
hundreds of distinct appropriations are
made. Some of these the president may
think 10 be wrong, either as a matter of
policy or of constitutional power, but he
cannot single these out. He must take

legislative attempts to encroach upon his
constitutional powers or those of the Judi

where he finds constitutional objections TO

The infinitive is a mood in which the
