REGATTA DAY.

Very Enjoyable Time for the
Holiday Makers With Plenty of
Good Sport.
Nature smiled her fairest and
sweetest upon our Regatta Day, and
the people by their thousands took
advantage OF the kindly courtesies
of the masters OF the many vessels
which lined the waterfront to invade
their homesteads and even to climb
all over the rigging and even up to
the dizzy heights Of the Hottest
cross trees and mast heads. 1t was
a day Of complete enjoyment un-
marred by any unpleasant incidents,
except the foul in the first race.
1t was somewhat reminiscent Of,
and compared rather favorably with,
the good old times of which the
present recording angels" as q
rule, wot not Of, when the Homo
lulus, Myrtles and the Kings club
we're the leaders Of the manifest OF
athletics, and King Kalakaua spent
his best exertions land lots fmoney)
to enhance the sport: and when
such men as L. A. Thurston, f. a.
Hayselden. j. A. Cummius, Curtis
P. Iaukea, Fred. Wundenberg, the
Wodehouse boys, the Branch BROS,
Harry Whitney, Aleck Robertson,
(the daddy" OF annexation day.
Jim Torbert, Sam Parker, BILLY"
Cornwell and all those fine young
fellows who are now staid, well to
do and reputable American citizens
struggled for mastery on our briny
blue. The "cld days" are always
the best on memory's pages the
more rapidly they are slipping
away from us with the old order
giving place to the new.
1t is consolation to know, how
ever, that in boating matters we
have men at the head who are
striving to give us clean and healthy
sport, such as all want, aud every
credit is due to the representatives
of the three clubs who engineered
so successfully Saturdays events; to
Messrs. S. e. 2. Taylor, G. Fl Gere
and Charles S. Crane and the Com
mittee generally, aud to 9, b Will
son, Captain @ j. Campbell aud L.
j. King, all thanks are due.
The races went off without the
slightest hitch. There were some
complaints in regard to the time
wasted between the events but no.
body was in a hurry. The Healanis
had a walk-over aud we're giving
odds at 3 to l against the Myrtles.
The boat boys had jolly race and
and did wonderfully we'll. They
didn't pull as hard when they are
simply considering a passenger"
The boys from the Philadelphia did
some excellent work and want more
races.

pointed by the Indianapolis Convention,
that since 1879 the amount paid out
in gold to redeem greenbacks has been
$54s, 1881, O18. That was "more than
$4O3, 900, 900" In the Cleveland message
of December, 1895. Shades of MIDAS and
all the alchemistsl Where did these five
hundred millions and more of gold come
FRONT II the gold standard. even because OF
the greenbacks, has really cost over five hun
bred millions Of dollars in twenty-five years.,
or over twenty-four millions a year, then 1t
has been q partner In too objectionable an
exaction to be worth a single further
thought about keeping 1t up. But with
the present state of public feeling no
radical change in the currency can reason
ably be expected to bring destruction to
the ~greenbacks. That will come to the
gold standard, and the popular effort will
be, not to preserve the national credit and
abolish the g~reenbacks, but to keep the
greenbacks and throw the national credit
to the devil Of silver.
If the Mugwump theory that the green
backs represent perpetual exhaustion OF the
Treasury's resources Is sound, and the pub
lie can be persuaded to believe that 1t has
cost over FIVE hundred millions of dollars
of gold in the past, and will continue to
bleed us IL 1t is permitted to live, then we
must prepare soon to nave all uncertainty
about gold taken out of politics and to see
the national obligations paid in silver.
The hope that we shall be spared from this
calamity rests mainly or the fact that the
representation made regarding the cost of
the gold standard, In bonds and in Treasury
gold, paid to redeem ~greenbacks, is in sum
and substance not true.
President CLEVELAND and the currency
experts who have used the redemption
fund argument have failed to say that
while five hundred millions Of gold have
been paid by the Treasury for greenbacks,
approximately five hundred millions of
dollars in gold have been paid back into
the Treasury in exchange for greenbacks.
The history of that ebb and flow of which
the Treasury is annually and continually
the scene has been published by THE SUN on
more thar one OCCASION. The proof of it is
at every mans hand.
Unless the currency reformers como to
their senses and repress themselves to the
extent of their fallacious arguments against
the greenbacks, the growth of the opposi.
tion to the gold standard must steadily
proceed. The currency reformers may cast
their vote for sound money on election
deadly and effective aid to Reputation
than can be found within the entire ranks
OF populism.

be twenty-five pharmacists, with the rank
and pay of warrant officers, n for each
flagship, with alterations Of sea and shore
duty, and some OF them may be appointed
from the present apothecaries. But the
real substitutes for the apothecaries will
be apparently the hospital stewards, and
under the latter will be hospital appren-
tices Of two classes, the lower grade being
the newer entries into service, who will be
junior hospital nurses at shore, and also
will serve at sea where two baymen are
now allowed.
One incidental effect of the new organiza-
tion proposed will be to add about two hun
dred men to the enlisted force Of the navy.
The act of March 1, 1887, organizing the
army hospital corps, which contains over
zoe enlisted men, provided that 1t should
not be counted as n part of the en-
listed force provided by previously existing
law. In the case OF the navy the further
increase of the enlisted strength Is
considered imperative, on account Of the
new ships, 30 that the present measure
would do SOM good in that respect, In
case there should be no other Increase at
the present session. That the new meas
ure would secure greater efficiency In war
and also better care for the sick and suf-
fering in peace there can be no doubt.

The decision of Gen. BLANcot to assume
personal command of the operations in San
tiago de Cuba marks an important stage Of
the campaign.
To begin with, It virtually admits the
defeat of PANDo on the Cauto River and
also implies hat this officer is not compe-
tent for the task required of him. There
seems. in fact, to be som evidence that
Gen. PANDo undertook his operations with
troops imperfectly supplied in various re-
spects, and that, while he asked for more
troops, at least a part Of his trouble was
due to q lack of stores of various sorts for
such force as he had.
But the principal cause Of his defeat was,
we believe, the activity and skill of the
patriots; and, II this be true, then the fate
of PANDo is likely to be repeated in the
case Of BLANCo. The forces Of GOMEZ,
CALIxTo GARCIA, and RABI will await
with the greatest confidence the appear
ance of the Governor.G General in the field.
But his defeat would be a terrible disaster
more than a f1gurehead, so far as field oper.
atoms are concerned, or q supervisory chief
at the capital. When one Of his subordi-
mates has been defeated the Sagasta Minis.
try has had the consolation Of knowing
that he was still in reserve. But now that
the disasters In eastern Cuba compel him
to take the field in person, the supreme test
of his military ability will be made. If
he is overcome, Spain may well despair.

The Hon. BATH HOUSE JOHN, a master
mind In the Chicago City Council and a matho-
matician and miscellaneous statesman Of UNI
common size. proposes to introduce an ordinance
providing that curfew shall ring at o o'clock
every night, and that everybody in the streets
shall be Obliged TO go home at that hour. II
would have the curfew bell sounded at o o'clock
from the steeple OF every church and the roof
OF every schoolhouse," auoth this representa-
tive and chief of the famous First ward.
"Woe DO unto the citizen or stranger who
heeds not the warning. Adults cause more
trouble in the streets than children" 1t is plain
that the Hon. BATH House JON is an original
humorist as well as a select statesman. He de-
clares that his sole motive In building a curfew
law ia "the desire to secure reform" Incl
dentally he would make jobs for 1000 curfew-
bell ringers and work for the Civil Service Com
missioners, who would have to examine the APP
plicants.

serted, are incapable Of becoming trained
gunners. On the other hand, even the
existing Notifications around the city OF
New York require 1000 artillerists to
man them, and when the supplemental
works now under way at this port are fin
ished, n force Of $4,000 men will be needed.
That in our harbor Notifications we must
have not only high.power guns, but also
an adequate number of men qualified to
fire them. ought to be as patent to Congress
as 1t is to the New York Chamber OF Com
merce, which lately adopted resolutions on
the subject.
Historical facts do not support the notion
entertained by some members Of the House
of Representatives that in any event ample
opportunity will be given us to prepare for
a condition Of war. AS a rule, war m
without warning, like q cloudburst or the
sweep of a tornado. Gen. MILES points out
that, in 1888, the British Government
examined the question whether 1t had been
customary for a nation to declare war be-
fore the opening Of hostilitles. The data
collected showed that in the 40 years
preceding 1870. during which 107 wars
had taken place, there had been less than
ten instances in which any formal declara-
ton of war had been made before actual
hostilities began.
There is, then, no basis for the belief that
a hostile State would warn us Of Its inten.
tion to attack US, and that, consequently,
we should have time to make good any OF
the present|shortcomings in our harbor de-
fences, including the deficiency in gunners.
