The Richmond climax. (Richmond, Ky.) 1897-1914, 1899-04-26

The dollar banquet given in New
York Saturday night was a success
greater than had been hoped for by the
most sanguine. Speeches were de-
livered ny Hon. William Jennings
Bryan, Congressman Charles A. Tow ne,
Hon. George Fred Williams, Oliver
Belmont and Judge James 2. Tarvin,
of this city.
1t is matter of qualification TO the
thousands of friends of Judge Tarvin
in Kentucky and adjoining states tC
know that the effort of that brilliant
orator was received with enthusiasm
greater than that of any speech de
livered, excepting possibly, that of Mr..
Bryan. Judge Tarvin's speech was
lenghthy, and he was interrupted time
and again by the applause of the three
thousand men aud women present, and
at the conclusion of his talk, the i'm
mense assemblage sprang TO their feet
aud called for him to go on. 1t was
five minutes before the tumult was
quieted. Mayor Rhinock, who was pre-
sent was handed the following note:
I'VE owe you million thanks for
bringing that man here.

aGJrATJOy AGAINST P0LYGAuY.

Elsewhere in this mornings Tribune we print
communication from an American woman
whom all Americans appropriately delight to
honor. upon 4 topic which all Americans have
cause at this time to take earnestly TO heart
What Miss Gould says concerning the threat
cned seating Of an avowcd and defiant polyg
amist as member of the Congress OF the Ma
ton Is eminently just and proper It Is, we
doubt not precisely what millions of right
minded Americans think about IT. or Will think
about it when the facts Of the case are laid be-
fore them There Is. we are sure, just ms deep
a detestation Of polysamy in the hearts oil the
overwhelming mass of the Nation as there ever
has been-as there was when that pracllce was
first hracketed with slavery as n twin relic of
barbariSm. What IS desirable, and what IS the
object Of Miss Goulds letter. Is TO arouse that
popular sentiment TO concrete or at least To
audible form, and make 1t effective In inilu-
encing the Representatives Of the Nation
When Mr. Roberts, the poygamist, was elected
n Representative. nearly n year ago, there was
n marked outburst OF protests from all parts
Of the country against his admission 10 seat
in the House We then expressed the hope
that those protests would not become hackneycd
and stale and thus perhaps Ineffective before
the time arrived for action by the House upon
his credentials. It IS. therefore, most agreeable
to see the agitation Of the question renewed at
this time IN a vigorous and respectcommandng
manner The time is near at hand when Mr.
Roberts will seek seat. and the House Of Rep
resentatives Will be called upon 10 decide wheth-
or or not he shall have it, Without attempting In
the least TO coerce the House, IL is fitting that
the people should let it know their sentiments
and their wishes. and that with no uncertain
voice.
There is so far as know. no charge that
Nj Roberts was not honestly elected. He re-
ccived a plurality Of more than five thousand
votes over his competitor. The objection to him
is that he IS a poygamlst. II will be remcm
bered that Utah was admitted to the Union a
q state and thus made able to send Repre-
sentative 10 Congress. only on her specific and
uneQuvocal pledge 10 abolish polygamy. II Is
not easy to conceive, therefore. more fragrant
bit Of effrontcry than that she should now send
to Congress a Representative who openly pro
fesses his belief in polygamy, and. according
TO common fame. defantly continues 10 practise
IT, II may be that common fame bellies him,
though we have not heard that he denies his
poygamy. That IS n matter that IS easily TO
be ascertaned. Without any violation Of state
sovcrei gnty. the House Of Representatives would
certainly be justified in asccraning It. And
whether or not Il would he justified In 50 far
Intervening in the domestic affairs Of state rs
10 demand that the laws of Utah against poyg
amy be made more stringent. II would aSsur'dy
be justified. on grounds of common equity in
declaring that Utah shall not send 10 il a man
who violates the very pledge on the strength
OF which alone she was entitled TO send one.

ANOTHER INSTRUCTIVE FAILURE.

The true yachtsman has patience. Ordinary,
no account landsmen who sometimes have al
fairs 10 attend 20 in cities may exhibit some
vexation when two whole days are wasted in
doing nothing That is because they have not
been trained to do nothing in scientific ana
extensive way Personally Sir Thomas Upton

is being tied to a five and a half hour limit for

miles within this time, and do so several times

that Sir Thomas will not be happy till he gets

that. even # the Columbia should sometimes

they seemed to be at first.
In Yesterdays race, soon after the start the
Shamrock did not follow the lead OF the Column
hia in setting foresall when n shift Of wind on
the run out made this sail valuable, and this
furnished another illustration Of the old expert
encc SO often referred to in The Tribune that
the English crews are never as prompt in the
setting of light or extra sails as the sailors OF
American racers The sensitive Columbia pulled
out a lead Of perhaps quarter of mile solely
through the use Of this sail Yesterday. Inc
same thing was done also In the Nalkyrie races,
long leads being established by using further
headsails besides the balloon iih
popularity of yesterdays sailing was that
although the Columbia got away in a long lead
when the wind was light. she lost the whole of
It when the wind had apparently fallen to fiat
calm This proved that the Shamrock can
move along on an astonishingly small amount
of wind and humorist said that although the
Columbia was best in light wind lie would
certainly back the Shamrock IN dead calm
II was also found in yesterdays racing that AZ

hind on the new breeze. worked out gradually
TO q windward position. and on the last tack
when the yachts were about to meet, before the
race was called off. showed that she was both

These two uncompleted races have helped "a
