The Columbia beat the Shamrock yesterday more than ten minutes in
 a thirty-mile race. The
 THE course was b miles to COLUMBIA windward from Sandy
 WINS. Hook hghtship and re-
 turn. The wind varied in force from ten to fourteen knots and, according to our dispatches, the boats were all the time under full canvas. It was d whole sail breeze and, in our opinion, the better boat won. The significance of the victory lies in the fact that the Shamrock people had maintained that she was essentially a heavy weather boat. She had in the preliminary contests established the fact that she was surprisingly fast in light airs. In every one of the unfiu- isled races she led the Columbia when the time gun was fired, although the margin of advantage was slight. This was due largely to luck and to the good seamanship of her shippers who ap- peared to be able to take advantage of every puff of wind. By reason of her quickness in winds that would hardly fill the sails of coaster some of the yachting sharps in New York grew fearful of the result of the series of races. Most of the New York papers have expressed the opinion that the cup was in danger of being lifted. They accepted the statement of the Shamrock's friends that the Irish boat was wonder in heavy weather and argued from it that the cup was in great danger. It is remarkable to the writer that the friends of the Columbia should have been so easily discouraged. He was on the revenue cutter Manning.

BIGELOW'S IDEAS.

One Pouitney BigeIow, who is an en- tertaining writer on many subjects and somewhat of a traveller, made a speech before the geographical con gresS in Berlin and undertook to eX- plain why the American people, though in a little more than 100 years they have made these United States a great, fiourishing and world-respected nation, cannot govern certain islands in the east. He dwelt on the cost of the undertaking, forgetting that all great undertakings cost money, and that if the heroes of '76 had stopped to count the cost the republic of the United States would not have been formed. MT. Bigelow also took occasion to say to his European audience that the United States, as nation, is ruled by a rlob,'' perhaps intending by this to throw bouquets at the one-man power which Emperor William seeks so hard to keep to the front Bigelow and the you know, were schCOlmates.

FOR EXPANSION.

Democrats of Indiana are consider ably agitated over the action of several leaders of the party, who have openly declared in favor of Mckinley and his Philippine policy. Among the Hocsier stalwarts who are thus creating a dis turbance in the state camp are Captain D. F. Allen, a soldier with record who is the choice of many democrats for congressional candidate in the Ninth district. MT. Allen says:
 'I have not fully decided upon ac- cepting the nomination, but one thing l. do know. If made the standard bear CT in the district I shall not run upon any d. fool platform. If the demo- cratic party expects me to stand against expansion and the war in the Philippines, that party is doomed to disappointment. 1 must have some tangible issue and shall not go out stumping against the patriots and all that I have stood for during my life time South Bend correspondence Toledo Blade.

during the Mckinley administration, was the sale of a mine in which this gentleman is interested. He was in town the other day. He made a small purchase, and in paying for it pulled a roll of bills as big as the proverbial bootleg and peeled a hundred-dollar bill off the outside, the smallest one in the roll, with which to pay the bill. The bill had to be sent to two business: houses before it could be changed, as at the first place it was sent the change offered was in silver, and he would have none of it. He has not talked politics in Lordsburg for more than ninety days. It is now conffdentially predicted that the country will pull through, in spite of McKinley.-Lords- burg Liberal.

 Jones never was Q scrimper. Brown is a man of other sort
 Horse dealer and horse jockey; His very cut of garb reads: sport Browns lingo's also rocky; But lay the paper out for Brown, And he will say, I'm easy" He punks an even hundred down, And signs it Cash quite breezy.

Every incoming train brings many people who either intend to settle here or remain during the winter. The ad- vantages of Phoenix as a winter resort are becoming better known and many eastern people who make it a business to leave their homes during the in element seasons are being attracted here.

Jones, the democratic chairman, ad- mits that the country is prosperous from certain standpoints." It is evil dent that Jones has no stock in an iron working establishment or in a good farm. Jones hates like sin to admit the truth, yet forced to admit part Of it. If the country is not prosperous today it will never be prosperous to a degree that will win full admission from such characters as Jones.

How Tammany politicians are able to accumulate wealth on compara lively
 small salaries is indi-
 THE cated by the fact, which TAMMANY was made pretty clear
 WAY. before the Mazet com
 mittee a day or two ago, that much of the real estate that would be greatly increased in value by the new East River bridge project and the proposed canal between Newtown Creek and Flushing Bay is owned by some of these thrifty gentlemen. This has become a very common way for Tammany politicians to fatten their purses at public expense. It is only necessary for them quietly to project a job in some section of New York un- der the name of needed public inn provements'' and then purchase land in the neighborhood before the joo is made public. The identity of the real owners of such land is, of course, care fully concealed as a rule, but, never tte1ess, they reap the harvest. The principles of these transactions do not differ essentially from the open rob berries of the Tweed gang, but the pro- n1oters of 1t are able to keep out of jail. When this system of public plunder is understood there will be less occasion for the question, Where did you get it?

So long as the treasury con tinues to do the rightful work of pri- vate banks, it must do it honestly and we'll.

There Are Good, Bad aud Indifferent.
and conprisc 500 Families.
An insect census has just been tnkcn
on purely scientific lines with q view
to determine as far as It is possible
which insects are a boon and a bless
ing to mankind and which are the re-
verse.
Although the statistics quite upset
the old idea that all insects and lower
animals were created solely for mans
benefit, yet it is c%ouclusively proved
that while some insects are rightly
termed 'pcsts," there are others that
render us considerable service, and
fortunately for u crops and vegeta-
ton the latter are in the majority.
According to the census insects are
to be classified as good, bad and I'M
different; the good insects number 116
families, the bad insects amount to 113
families, while the Indifferent insects,
who could not for reason or an
other satisfactorily answer all the
questions on their census papers. and
must, therefore. for the present be
looked upon as doubtful characters,
reach a total of seventy-two families.
No fewer than 112 families of the
bad or injurious insects feed upon cul-
tivatcd plants and crops. doing dam
age to and %devouring thousands Of
pounds worth Of vegetable produce
annually, gobbling up our spring cab
bages and succulent young peas, ETC.,
in the most ruthless fashion. while the
hundred and thirteenth family is para
site upon and causes much harm to
warm-blooded animals.
OF the good or beneficial insects, sew
cnty-nine families devote themselves
to the destruction of the wicked, vege-
table-devouring brethren, which they
accomplish in a most satisfactory and
wholesale manner, while of the remain
ing useful insects, thirty-two families

great rapidity all sorts of dccaylng

lilies aid us as %pollenisers and three
