Tho Alabama Crusader.

Tho Hon. JoJo WIILErr OF Alabama, con-
tinues his desperate effort to turn the
Democratic sentiment OF the North away
one. We hear from him now and then in
some town or small city Of New England
or New York State.
Whether Mr.. WIhLErT is yet advocating
the nomination Of AUGUSTUS VAN WYCR,
or has turned his devotion to some other
anti-Bryan candidate We are not informed.
Tho reports that reach us indicate that
nobody is paying much attention to his
mission and message. He Is treated in the
local newspapers rather as presence than
as voice.
Tho Atlanta Constitution, however, takes
tho trouble to notify Mr.. WILLErr that he
is on FOOLS errand. 1t says:
The Democratic CONVENTION will be controlled alb
soiutsly and entirely by tho mon who favor BRIANs
renominAtion- Even the Massachusetts delegation
will DO for BRYAN. This will not only not be due
70 any manipulation. but all the manipulation
that be undertaken cannot prevent It. Tho rsa.
IL clear The party Is for BRYAN because It be.
Meves In him. because his views en- body thu views
Of the party.
III Mr.. WnLErT desires to kill what 10 called
bryenmm' no should take MS tomAhaWk and re-
pair to the Southern States He will not do this be-
souso he knows better"
Calls to the Hon. JoJo to transfer his
campaign activities from the North to the
South are not likely to be needed by that
gentleman. 1t Is quito natural that he
should desire to keep as much as possible
Of the country's smiling and prosperous
cxpanse between himself and the terrible
Hooa OF Texas.

Tho programme for the annual meeting
OF tho rifiemen, during the coming week,
on the New Jersey range, Is a familiar one,
yet not wholly without novelty. This
eighth meeting. too, Of the State Associa-
ton. may derive some additional zest from
the omission Of a meeting last year, on
account Of the war with Spain.
Prominent. Of course in interest, are the
annual matches Of the National Rifle Asso-
citation, the Wimbledon Cup, the Hilton
Trophy and the Interstate Military. These
and the Presidents Match attract visitors
from other States, as they used to attract
them to Creedmoor, and tend to give Sea
Girt the character OF a national arena.
though under State auspices like that which
once belonged to the Long Island range. The
SCORE and more OF other matches include
the Members. the Kuser. the All-Comers
Military. the Schuetzen, the Hayes, the
Meany. the Winchester, the Consolation,
the Remington. tho Harper's Weekly, the
Interstate Reglmental Team, besides sew
eral matches, like the Perrine. open only to
Jerseymen; various revolver. carbine and
Bkirmish matches, and so on.
The best wishes OF all Interested In the
Improvement OF military Workmanship
especially in the National Guard, will 20

about the only semblanco to a national
competition, and may some day tako on
moro decidedly that character. 1t has at
least drawn to its friendly rlvalrlss teams

for teams OF twelve, at 600 800 and

Stud nts Build n Fence by Night and Beat

From the Toptkd Capital.


Because they feared an Injunction the Wash
burn students worked all night and finished
the fence along the north side OF their new
athletic field. People living west OF the site OF
the proposed athletic grounds have for somo
time been considerably exercised at tho
prospect of having their, view Of tho col
lege campus ohstTpeted by the fence Tho The
hut it was considered too near for comfc5t by
people lived in hope for some time that the
scheme, would fall through. or the site be
laying out the line for tho fence. and great
ten-toot fence posts began 70 arise M in

biity Of stopping the construction OF tho fence
by Injunction. But the college students who
are MANAGING tho affair got wind Of what was
coming and that very night thaJ went to work
to beat the courts in the race for precedence.

Now York Harbor This Fall.

Our esteemed and hitherto somewhat
secluded guest. the Shamrock, has emerged
into visible actually and energy. From
now until the day OF her departure home
ward the fine sloop will be the object OF
universal attention and the recipient of
countless good wishes-wishes for her
prosperity In all respects save one.
The arrival on the Cnmpania OF the owner
Of the Shamrock, Sir THOMAS L1pToN.
marks in another way the near approach
Of one OF the greatest events In the history
OF international sport. His welcome will
be hearty. 1t is Sir THOMAS LIPToNs
fortune to have won high regard on this
side OF the ocean already by his manly
enterprise and yaohtsmanlike behavior
and We believe that 1t will be his privilege
to obliterate much Of whatever unpleasant
impression may have been left by the last
preceding challenger for the Cup.
For the next forty days or more New
York Bay and the neighboring waters will
be the theatre Of almost constant spectao-
ular and sentimental interest The trial
races will be followed by the coming Of the
Olympia on September 30, and the illustri-
GUS marine pageant Of October 1; and the
thrill Of the welcome Of DEWEY and his men
and his ship will still be upon US all when
the Shamrock and the Columbia sweep
down in lively shape to the line
1t is to be a season OF splendid events in
these waters. True patriotism and true
sport have their turns In New York Harbor;
and, with the kind assistance Of the man
ayers Of the excursion steamers, they will
make life worth iiyino in thia naiohhorhood
for some weeks to come.
