In anticipation of the Americas cup
ing United States revenue cutters to act
as marine police and keep the course
clear during such events. 1t will be re-
membered that during the Defender
Valkyrie races, there was much COM
plant because excursion steamers and
private craft got in the way of the
yachts. When the Columbia and Sham
rock meet, government cutters will be
on hand to prevent repetition of this
grievance. 1t remains to be seen how
efficient they will be as ocean police
boats. Will they be allowed to use even
blank cartridges by way of enforcing a
warning?

Yesterday the great trust conference
at Chicago began it's sessions. With
such an extraordinary collection of col
lege professors, theorists, politicians,
cranks and Bryanites to dip their fin
gers in the stew, nothing of serious i'm
portance may be expected from the de-
liberations And yet, the question is one
demanding the clearest intellect and the
most unprejudiced judgment There are
delegates who bring both qualifications
to the task, and If all sayings but theirs
could be edited out of the reports, the
people might derive real profit from the
conference

Association hall was an extravaganza
ly large place for holding the prohibit
ton state convention yesterday, yet
time was when the party could fill Me-
chanies hall and make the rafters ring.
Once 1t was a political power of such
consequence that the prohibition poll
was an important factor in making up
the forecast of any election in the state.
That era passed away several
years ago. Whatever mission the
party had has been accomplished,
but still the organization refuses to die.
What utility there can be in spending
time, money and energy in this hope
less cause year after year is a political
mystery understood only by the few
faithful ones. They gain no rein

Through the insertion of the Tex
tenuating circumstances" clause in the
Dreyfus verdict, the judges have
brought down upon their heads the
criticism of the entire world. The idea
Of "extenuating circumstances" for
treason seems preposterous, as such a
crime perpetrated in cold blood and not
in the heat of passion precludes the
possibility of mitigation. But, after all
is it not possible that the judges in
their grotesque verdict embodied the
wisdom of ages? Treason to a govern
ment that would permit such parody
upon justice might even be praisewor-

Boston, Sept. IA, 1899.
Mr.. Dooley has gone abroad, and in
next Sundays Globe that first of living
American humorists will begin series
OF letters on what he has seen in Eu-
rope. His opening letter will present
the trial of Dreyfus as he saw it at Rem
mes.
This series promises to be equal to the
best of Mr. Dooleys work, and all his
thousands of admirers no doubt will wish
to follow him on his travels. To do So
they should start with him in next Sun

of the letters each should ask his news
dealer to leave the Sunday Globe regu-
larry at his house.

Cornelius Vanderbilt is supposed to
have left fortune of SIPS, 900, 900. This
is bald guess. 1t is no guess but a
fact that he was generous giver to

He took care that his gifts should not
be known, and necessarily got less
credit than he deserved.
