We are unable to approve the course OF the
owner OF the yacht Mineola, Mr. AUGUST
BELMONT, in his refusal to accept the cup
won originally by the Rainbow and subse-
quenty awarded to tho Mineola az tho second
boat in a race for which the Rainbow
has recently been pronounced disqualified.
II Mr.. BELMONT doesn't desire the cup. he can
melt It up; but the rule that takes It from the
Rainbow and gives It to the Mlneola Ia sound
and ndiviSble II should be accepted. free
from complaint or resistance In any form.
A yacht entered in a race must abide by the
rules whether the penalty be the loss Of tho cup
which. according TO its bare sailing. II won, or
the receipt OF a cup which. according to bare
sailing. It didn't win. A cup Ia a triang thing.
but rules are vital. and. in our judgment.
II Is truer sportsmansmp TO hold to them
without question.
The best treatment OF the reErettsble affair OF
the Rainbow Is to let 1t pas with as little fro-
ton as Iossibe, and the way 10 do that Is 70
avoid crticisug or resisting any PENALTY that
the occasion may prescrb be.

A Man TO he CONGRATULATED.

II thero is a man in New York who has
special reason for rejoicing this autumn
It Is the Hon JEFFERSON NJ. LEVY.
Mr.. LEVY is tho Representative In the
present Congress Of the Thirteenth district
Of this city. 1t Is a district distinguished
for its conservatism, It's enlightenment,
and its consequent devotion TO the gold
standard and Mr.. LEVY faithfully and
honorably represented all its intelligence
by voting for the Currency bill, though
only one other Democratic Congressman
Of Manhattan was recorded on that side.
For that fidelity to the interests OF his
constituents Mr.. LEVY was punished by
the refusal Of Tammany TO renominate
him for Congress. A blatant Bryanite, Mr..
o. H. p. BELMONT, has been nominated in his
place and is to be put before the citizens Of
the Thirteenth district at this election.
Instead OF looking upon his failure OF
denomination with regret however. Mr..
LEVY ought TO welcome it with profound
satisfaction. II releases him from apolitcal
bondage which must always have been
odious to an honest man. 1t relieves him
of the necessity of voting for n Bryanite
Speaker Of the House OF Representatives,
which would have been imposed upon him II
he had been elected In the Tammany
name. Now he Ia a FREQ man. When he
ran for Congress in 1895 he was obliged.
under Tammany constraint, 70 conceal
his gold sentiments-a humiliating expe-
rience. Now he can declare and defend
his opinions at all times without fear or
favor. He has regained his liberty and his
self-respect.
We congratulate the Hon. JEFFERSON
~ LEVY. And on the 7th of November
we hope TO be able to congratulate the
citizens Of the Thirteenth Congress district
on the deserved punishment Of crushing
defeat administered to the Bryanite candi-
date put up to punish Mr.. LEVY for
voting for honor and honesty, security and
prosperity.

more skilled men. owing 20 the competi-
tion Of other industries Then, again. so
far as England Is concerned, the employ
ment Of women and children in agriculture
has nearly ceased to exist, and the farmers
are thus deprived Of cheap labor at busy
seasons Moreover. the resident casual
laborer, who used TO be obtainable for
hoeing and wedding. hay and grain har-
vests and potato lifting. has almost or
entirely disappeared. Even in Scotland.
where women are still largely employed
at field work in many distrlcts. II Is said
that they and also the young women en-
gagod for dairy and other work in the
farmhouses are steadily decreasing year
by year. owing to their preference for situ-
ations in towns, either in shops or domestic
service
There is reason to believe that the miGra-
tion TO the towns Is due not only TO desire
TO obtain higher wages, but also to the
wish to secure employment to which a
higher social position Is attached, and to
lead a life which is less arduous and mo-
notonous.

characteristic OF them TO develop the multi

George Dewey's Flag.

spoken, and the time b short.
What is Admiral DEWEY going to say

impertinent question, for the Admiral
himself. . little earlier in the present year,
proclaimed his active interest in contem-
poraneous politics. although postponing
until a later date the specific announce
ment of his convictions.
Since that time, it is true, Admiral DEWEY
has reconsidered his intention to be can
dldats for President, but 1t would bs an
insult to the gallant sailor and excellent
citizen to assume that because he has no
longer the direct interest of personal aspira-

how he stands with regard to the great

he carried 10 the Philippines and so glo-
riousy established there?
That last question would never be asked

Admirals misfortune some weeks ago to
become identified in the public mind rightly
