CUP. The Ro val Ulster Yacht Club, OF
Bangor in the North of Ireland, of which
the former Governor General of Canada,
the Marquis of Dufferdn, is commodore,
will be the challenger, and thesboat will
be Mr.. Ewing's Rainbow. a schooner
yacht. The original races for the cup
were by schooners the America having
schooner rig when she first won the cup.
OF late years the great races have been
between sloops, or "single.stickers" as
they are cal ed in the nautical slang.
The adoption of the schooner rig for the
Rainbow will probably necessitate the
building of similarly rugged defender
on this side in time for race the first
of next summer.

ROOSEVELT AND THE CANALS.

In referring the other evening at Lyric Hall
to the canals Colonel Roosevelt said: IF upon
'investigaton il shall prove that either the sys
item or the methods of administration are
wrong they shall be changed; and III it shall
prove that any man has been dishonest he
shall most assuredly be punished" Comment
ing upon these frank and uncquvOcal declara-
tons. The New-YOrk World" remarks. possibly
with more warmth Of language than Of feeling,
that they would be complete and convincing IF
"a Republican Canal Investigating Commission,
appointed by the Republican Governor Black,
had not already august 4, 1893 reported, and
lin its report presented both the evidence and
'the Indictment against the Republican Canal
Ring: and The World" adds: If that evi-
"dence collected by partisan Republicans if
that indictment. drawn by partisan Republi-
cans made no impression whatever upon Colo
mel Roosevelt's mind, then what hope Is there
that any investigation could convince him.
Concerning these observations, Stimulating
deep and righteous Indignation on the part Of
our contemporary several things are 10 be said.
In the first place, the evidence was not collected
nor the indictment drawn by partisan Repub-
leans The Canal Commission wa, nonpar-
tisan body. deliberately and prope ly made so
by Governor Black. This fact has no lmpOr-
tant bearing on The Worlds" contention ex-
cepting as 1t indicates an apparent Indifference
10 accuracy on the part Of that journal when
dealing with serious subject which does not
recommend its conclusions to the judgment Of
intelligent persons. For that reason II is worth
While 10 mention the singular discrepancy be-
tween fact and statement, particularly rs it Is
followed by an employment Of the loose and
easy process which IS known "a begging the
question" and which is itself a confession Of
weakness. BY what right except that of free
dom OF the press does our contemporary assume
that the findings of the Commission have made
no impression whatever upon Colonel Roose-
Wells mind"i His frequent and incisive refer
enccs to canal affairs show clearly that they
have made a strong impression upon his mind,
as they have upon the mind Of every intelligent
citizen whether, like 1.-THE World" he has pre-
Judged the case, or, like Colonel Roosevelt. he
has not prejudged It, having suitable regard
for the regular and deliberate process which Is
now going on TO ascertain what II any. legal
action the situation requires.

be more pertinent and worthy Of consideration

LORD ROSEBERYS EXAMPLE.

The Importance of Lord ROsebery's great
speech at EpsOm so far as British and French
relations are concerned can scarcely he over
estimated Its spntentous epigrams and cogcnt
logic proclaim In the most convincing manner
that I'm the orators own words. the ancient
spirit of Britain is not dead. but is ~ vital and
puissant as ever And the whole British ma
ton animated by IT. stands united IA one man
behind the Government OF the day In uphOdng
the policy which that Government has adopted
and which the welfare and security Of the en-
Lire demand. As an encouragement 10 the
British Government and a warning 10 France
the value Of that speech is incalculable. Or II
il be in any way limited. it IL only by the cir
cumsiance that It's full strength and purpOrt
nav not be needed. As we have hitherto sad
we believe France will yield to the force Of her
own former arguments. and the whole contro-
versy will be settled amicably. But even il in
part superhuous, the significance Of fhe ex-
Prime Minister'S speech will not prove harmful.
Diminishing however, all these alien consider
ntlons rs matters in which Americans have only
or chiefly an academic interest, the speech and
its occasion are fraught with direct and vital
significance to this Nation. They serve as su-
premey instructive object-lesson In foreign pol
v.
sistent and continuous foreign policy which is
one Of the chief secrets of Great Britain's mar
vellous success and which Is now and then one
of our own greatest needs Consider the cir
cumstances Years ago. when Lord ROsebery
was Prime Minister, the Liberal Government
adopted certain definite policy with regard TO
The Upper Nile Before that policy could be ex
ecuted that Government fell and was succeeded
by a Conservative Government diameiricaly OPP
posed to il on most issues Of domestic policy.
Rut OH that important issue OF foreign policy
there was no change. Lord Salisbury main
tanned as his rule of action the principles which
Lord Rosebery had formulated. And to-day,
when that policy reaches its crucial climax,
Lord Rosebery energies from retirement to sup
port Lord Salisbury in It with all the zeal and
energy and devotion be could give TO the support
Of n Minister OF his own party. on that Issue
there are no Liberals and no Conservatives.

1t is n splendid spectacle. and II is one which
should fOrcibly appeal 10 the United States n
well AS to France and England. We do not say
policy or that all parties never unite in support
of the Government IN its foreign negotiations.
There are fresh In memory some fine examples
Of such action. Bnt II must be confessed that II
Is not always so. and that the chief failures OF
our foreign policy have been due chiefly to lack
Of such continuity and such harmony as Great
Britain now displays. In the matter Of Hawaii,

IT'S IMPORTANCE AND THE GOOD 1T MAY

Sir: All Republicans who have the slightest
interest I'm lettering the political conditions
under which we live should enroll under the
new Primary law when they register this fall.
as you so properly urge in your issue OF TO-
day The genius Of our institutions has drifted
toward government by party, and the citizen
who would exercise his proper influence In that
government must do 80 not only by his ballot
on Election Day, for which registration Is the
necessary prerequisite. but also and equally and
even more emphatcally by his ballot at the
primary, for which enrolment is the necessary
prerequisite.
Heretofore that duty has not been inviting or
It's performance profitable, but under the new
Primary law enacted this year an advance has
been made Of such Importance. which VIII ulti-
mately work such radical Improvement In party
