Three Drjffinu Matches.

Those who go out to see the races for of sport, and on Saturday some of them got qualms of the stomach, for the sea was lumpy not because of a present gale, but because of one somewhere else at some previous time. Visitors and readers alike are gathering a good many sea phrases, If not valuable sea knowledge. After all the races have no practical value, for they are not made in practical boats, and sail pro- pulsion is well-nigh lost art, except in small way, such as fishing smacks, coast wise schooners, and the like.
 The three attempts establish nothing whatever, except confusion in the experts or talent" They are adrift. They do not know which is the better boat in breeze or in light winds They do not feel sure that either is the better handled. It has become guessing match, for the two boats are so evenly good, no one can have definite or fixed judgment as to their mer its. In model in handling, in strength, in everything else uSSlTdDles they are d re- markable pair.
 The next race will presumably occur to- day, and one mans guess as to the result of it is just as good as the guess of the next man. What all desire is a piping wind from start to finish. Light airs have been well tested, and the public will not be satisfied until the two boats sailed in gale. The Shamrock is thought to be adapted to heavy weather, but thus far the Columbia has shown no lack of sailing qualities in the wind. It Is fine sport, and as it has thus far been conducted, it Is a credit to the two great sea-dog nations, to the New York Yacht club, and to the gallant Lipton who has come three thous- and miles seeking a trophy that has over stayed all reasonable time.

THE CELERY CENrER

From the Chicago Tribune. Kalamazoo, Mich, still gracefully main- tains its reputation as the greatest celery producing center in the world. Another place like Kalamazoo, having the manifest advantages which it possesses for the proper culture of celery, will probably never be discovered.
 There is a basin, of which Kalamazoo City forms part, in the shape of a saucer. On top is layer of mold al least six feet deep. Beneath this is a clay ten to twelve inches in thickness, which is impervlous to water, and beneath that is sand which contains plenty of water. By tapping this clay stratum the water will ooze up from the sand and water-bearing ratum below and give constant moisture to the mold above. If there is any summer when there is a deficit supply of water from the clouds the grower drives holes through the clay and allows the water from below to saturate the land.
 The value of the celery crop to Kalama- zoo growers this year is estimated at $1,- 1000, but on computation of. varied aver ages in the various cities where it is mark eted the estimated value is increased to 8, 900 900.
 This year, with one exception. will be the best of any since the inception of the celery industry in Kalamazoo. At least 5000, ,0o0 dozens of celery are being raised on the 3.2O0 acres of land devoted to Its culture Fixing probable home consumption at l, 900 900 dozens, it will be seen that at least 100000 dozens will be shipped to out side consumers.

he cannot carry his own state, taking Dewey instead. The Hanna machine can not save him if he loses his own state.
 The esteemed MT. Hanna is also wide awake to the situation. He is gathering money wherever he can get it. He avoids the letter of the law, but crosses the very spirit of it when he practically assesses the postmasters of Alabama, big and little, in order to save the administration from con- demnati ton in Ohio. Mir. Hanna, through agents, assesses every Alabama postmas- ter It is called voluntary contribution, but 1t is an assessment, and such it violates the essence and spirit of the law. The very circular that 1evies the assess ment in Alabama confesses as much. The assessment should be investigated by con- gress, but 1t will not be because both houses are now republican, and a resolu- tion calling for an investigation would be promptly smothered. This 1t is that makes the ever esteemed MT. Hanna over-bold, even for him. His net Is spread over the country all on account of Ohio. He is scared. The president is scared. Judge Nash is quaking in his boots. And the democrats, led by the invincible John R. Mclean, are marching on to victory.

Vicious "PaY' Public Schools.

There is now available s105 for each attendance this means about $2.5O for each pupil This means that a good teacher can be employed about six months in every district, if weak districts are sensibly con- solidated. It means, too, that the vicious and hurtful contracts with teachers where by they are permitted to absorb the public money and to gather in as much private money as they can, should be stopped. There is no greater evil in the state than this mixture of free and pay features in school. It should be prohibited by law, but in the meanwhile much can be accomplished towards abolshing the practice by the county superintendents. Superintendent Fountain of this county is doing his best to weed it out.
 County superintendents have been in the habit or organizing personal machine by supporting teachers who conduct a pay" concern, after absorbing the public money. They constitute a ring, and the victims of that ring are the children of the districts That sort of a ring is to be broken up in Jefferson county, and it should be in every other county of the state. The next legis- lature will assuredly prohibit contracts that embrace the pay feature. The Bulger law will in the next scholastic year render such contracts absolutely inde- fensible.
 Mixed free and pay schools are not free schools. They are not schools that self respecting poor people will use. Children of the poor possessing any pride at all will not attend them. The poor are "pauper' scholars in such school, if they are there at all The viciousness of the plan has been concealed through the eoncealment of the actual extent of the public money. Let it be known then that the state school fund is this year about 0,OOO and that this sum is equivalent to about $250 per capita of average attendance. The pay feature is not needed in any district. It should be absolutely and positively prohibited, and the trustee who makes a contract involving it, and the county superintendent who ap- proes such a contract, should be held pub licly accountable The enlarged state ap- propriation was not made to enrich ring of "pay" teachers, but to render the public schools open and free to all of school age.

The Great Grasshoppers

The Age-Herald several days ago con- tained reference to the mysterious coming of vast numbers of grasshoppers to Bir- mingham The same phenomenon exists at points as wide apart as Selma and Eu- faula. The Selma Journal says:
 The town is suffering from the visitation of myrlads of grasshoppers. They appear ed Friday, and seem disposed to stay. They are all over the city; big fat fellows, and they are dlsgustingly familiar. Where they came from, or the reason of their vis- it to the city, no man can say. They are not here in sufficient numbers to really hurt anything or be very much of an an- noyance There are millions and millions of them in the state
 The Eufaula Times says:
 Droves of grasshappers have taken Flu faula, and they are to be seen everywhere They are great big brown ones, and thou sands of them are seen all over the streets so thick, in fact are they in some places that they almost have to be shoveled ofr the sidewalk like snow. Where they came from or what brought them out is hard to say, unless it is the steady rain of the past two days.
