it is an inspiration to watch with what
tenacity OF purpose they persist in their
efforts to regain the cup. Defeat has
followed them with regularity that
bordered on monotony. And, while no
American wants the Columbia beaten,
the American people will not repine II
the cheerful spirit of the pluclxy Briton
shall be at last rewarded. 1t is a fair
contest, friendly rivalry and the pre-
vailing sentiment in this country is:
May the better boat win.
There are people in England who be-
lieve that the Americas cup is always
retained through trickery. There are
some in the United States who regard
the race as a sort of war in which ma
tiona! anlmosities should be given full
swing. But it isn't so. 1t isn't the feel
ing Of the majority 1t isn't the thought
of the participants. Sir Thomas Lip
toms demeanor has been open and cor
dial. HIS welcome was hearty and his
treatment hospitable. He didn't come
with suspicious and snarls He wasn't
looking for treachery. There was none
to look for. The race has been free and
fair. The course is kept open and clear
There are no complaints The faster
boat will win the race, no matter what
its name or who owns it.

ouTsAlLED THE COLUMBIA.

The Shamrock is a wonder Of course,
the race is yet to be run; there are five
heats to be sailed; the yacht which
takes three in five will be the winner.
The fact that the Columbia was out
sailed yesterday adds to the interest in
the contest, It is certain the cup held
by the United States for more than a
generation was never SO well defended.
1t is just as certain that no defender
ever met a more valiant competitor.
The speed and racing equipment of
the Columbia leave nothing to be de-
sired, unless it is more speed. She beat
the old Defender at every turn in the
trial heats. She is, therefore, the best
boat American yacht builders have ever
turned out As the Columbia was con-
structed on new principles, not untried,
but satisfactorily tested and newly ap-
piled, great confidence has been felt in
her superior qualities; and the Sham
rock, being constructed after the man
ner of the Defender, was regarded from
the first as an easy mark. After the
British boats arrival experts began
watching her performances. 1t was
soon discovered that she was the most
formidable antagonist our sailors ever
welcomed across. the sea.
Considering the long series Of races
in which the English have been worsfed

CONFERENCE CROWDS.

Conference is here again with its
multitudes. The city is full of visitors
from every point of the compass. Each
of the neqghboring states has 'contribut-
ed its Quota. They attend the meet
ings, visit the fair, go down to the Salt
Palace occasionally, wander up and
down the streets, enter the stores. price
the goods, pstronize the restaurants
and look up old aceuaintances. Thus
the days are enjoyed and the evenings
heightened far into the night Fair
crops. with good prices resulting from
an unprecedented foreign demand,
have scattered more money among the
people than they have enjoyed for sew
eral years.
This enables many of them to come
to the capital city, lay in winter sup
plies and enjoy the sports and pleas
ures of the season. besides attending to
religious duties. Then the weather has
been an improvement over conference
weather generally. and this has been
an inducement for many.
1t is good to see the people get to-
gether once or twice a year. 1t does
those good who come to conference,
and it is a pleasure to those who live
here to welcome and entertain their
friends.

DISTRIBUTION OF mEALTH.

In an interview with Russell Sage,
the New York fpaneier, printed some
time ago in the metropolitan papers
and never disputed, he gave utterance
10 a very remarkable though not sur
prssing assertion.
Il tell you" said Mr. Sage, ''the
money power rules this continent.
Within 500 yards ofswhere we sit is the
power that controls the United States.
The people of this country can't do
anything without. coming to Wall street
for the capital IN The same way Lon
don rules the empire of Great Britain"
Every member of Wall streets golden
circle knows that he spoke the truth.
Mark Hanna knows il. and when he
says tha& he likes the British govern
ment better than he likes our own he
means that the money power has a
clearer. road, that it is in less danger
OF popular uprisings and ballot box de-
feats than it Is in this country. Gold
hugs are compelled TO resort 20 innu-
merable strategies. to tax their inge-
nuity TO its utmost in this country to
allay the suspicious Of the public and
save themselves from fits righteous in
dieration. They have to subsidize
newspapers. hire stump speakers, enlist
the cooperation Of large corporations
in which they are heavy stockholders,
or have friends and benefciaries- who
are. contribute to campaign funds and
keep up a constant struggle against
the intellectual growth of the people.
.The money power controls the Unit
ed States" says Mr.. Sage and can in
fate or contract the currency at Will.

is passed for the establishment Of the
gold standard by law ana the granting
OF the paper money concession TO the

There is a very handsome young woman

had to be amputated. The young woman.

No said Humboldt, but L am in great

from my landlord a note informing me
that ne had sold the house in which I re-

gradually led Humboldt into conversation.

POEMS WORTH READING.
The Maid and MY Pipe.

Philadelphia North American,)
can't forget the little maid,
Who laid aside with thoughtful care, .
The old cob pipe, which overnight,
l left upon her office chair;
tbs not a thing for dainty touch
For ladies' company not fit;
Yet did she have respect for me,
And honor my respect for it.
That old cob pipe my granddad smoked
And after him my honored sire;
And then myself; I'd not change it
For one of meerschaum or of brier;
For like good wine the good old cob
Improves with age; though do you push
Me for the truth, it's rot like VINE
In this: AT times it needs a bush.
But that's what makes me like the maid
Who had no fear of that old vet;
And thus ] take occasion here
To say: Dear miss, I'll ne'er forget,
Who's good to my pipes good to me.
And this the burden of my song,
would, fair maid, our friendship were
Like unto this same cob pipe-strong.

Americans Are the Most Polite.
(Detroit Free Press

tDeIf0lt Free PreSS.)
A little party in the Michigan Central
station the other day fell into quite a Sc
rious discussion of manners, white they
waited for a train. One asserted that the
FTenchnan is the most polite man on
earth He was contradicted by the sec
ond, who stood up for the manly polite
ness of the EngEshman, while the third
openly declared that the American holds
the palm.
At this the others laughed. 1.-THE Amer
lean hasn't time to be polite" one of them
said.
Have you ever seen people of different
countries cross a muddy street and no
ticed what their manners are when they
meet lady in the mfddle?"
No" they both replied.
Well this is what happens. went on
the third man: The Englishman simply
bows and plods right along through,
splashing mud all over the womans skirt.
The German doesn't see her at all, but
PODS and splashes, while the Frenchman
takes off his hat, bows low with his hand
over his heart, and Apologies but he
keeps right on splashing by, nevertheless.
NOW, with the American it's different. He
looks up. sees the woman, steps to one
side in a puddle and stands very still until
she has passed.

A Song for Autumn.

CHelen Gray Cone in St. Nichoias.)
Sing goodby to all the flowers for the
happy summer hours
When the leaves are brown and red
upon the tree;
tbs the autumn song of sorrow, for the
winters here tomorrow,
And the swallows left the lea.
For the dew is on the meadow, and the
morning s gray. sing heyl
And it's hey for windy October day.
And the poplar boughs drop gold, as a
story slowly told,
And the maple rustles crimson in the
sun:
And the silver willows shiver in the breeze
that's on the river,
And the happy summers donei
For the rain has swept the meadow, and
the mornings gray. sing heyl
And it's hey for windy October day.
