~Paddy" Gleason.

One of the most picturesque figures of
American politics died the other day In
Long Island City, relic of past which was
wiped out by the consolidation of the cities
now comprising Greater New York. Pat
rick Gleason, Irish immigrant, roustabout
saloon keeper. contractor. street railroad
protector, politician and finally, for various
terms, mayor of his city, was a party In
himself He knew no necessity of conven-
tons. He once explained his success at the
polls by the statement: Il always win by
just drivin' round and yelln' at me frens
and there's no platform. no nothin'-jest
me, Paddy He had a great hold on the
affections and .fealty of his followers And
when in the hey-day of his power as mayor
the rich and influential Long Island rail-
road corporation tried to obstruct the
streets and to occupy space to which it was
not entitled, this intrepid guardian of the
rights Of his people armed his police force

thor's claims for it, and entitled him to
long and most honorable remembrance
The country was pushing forward it's
policy for a larger navy. Both parties
were assisting. but it would be of great ad-
vantage that the work of the naval COM
mittee of the House be shaped by thor
oughly competent chairman. Mr.. Herbert
had filled the place under Mr.. Carlisle, and
Mr. Boutelle proved to be most worthy
successor to him under Mr.. Reed. He gave
his whole time to his duties. and performed
them excelently.
If Mr.. Milliken was not so conspicuously
placed as were his colleagues, as chairman
of the committee on public buildings and
grounds he rendered the country valuable
service, and as debater he possessed I'M

men in commission, and that Maine did
Mr.. Reed retired of his own accord. Death
took Mr.. Ding1ey and Mr.. Milliken while
they were in harness, and Mr.. Boutelle

seal upon him. But there is life in the old

A S0UaIl i'm the SOlent.

Todays yachting accident in the Solent
calls for both congratulations and SYM
pathy for England from the United States,
congratulations that the king was saved
from death and sympathy for the wreckng
of the splendid creation with which Sir
Thomas Upton has hoped to win the Amer
iCa's cup. King Edwards presence on the
wrecked yacht was an unusual incident in
itself and the early dispatches were strange
ly contradictory as to whether he was &C
tually on board that craft or on the Erin
when the wind swept the decks of the racer
clean. There seems to have been a curious
changing of plans regarding the king s
movements and his ultimate escape from
death is described as miraculous.
1t is of course too soon to determine
whether Shamrock III has been injured be-
yond repair. The loss of her mast and rig
ging would not necessarily disable her and
prevent her appearance in these waters in
season for the International races. for de-
spite the care necessary in their construc-
ton they could probably be replaced on a
pinch to enable the boat to meet her en-
gagenent. But it is possible that the yacht
may have been strained by the shock of
the sGuall or the tearing loose of the mast
and rigging. and this might readily render
her unsafe for the ocean voyage and for a
competition with the swift creation of the
HerreSchoffs.
Thus far in her career Shamrock III has
been an unlucky boat. She beaten by
her predecessor in one trial race by five
minutes. owing to the fault of certain feat
ures of her rigging and her hull. Then she
went into another race, yesterday. and her
bobstay s!ackened and her topmast wab-
Lad

ditionaliy unfortunate that in his dilemma.
for which the American people are sincere
ly sorry. Sir Thomas Upton can not, under
the rules of the competition. look to Sham
rock l to replace his new craft in case of
need. The old challenger has shown re-
markable qualities in these trials and is
thought by many yachtsmen abroad to be
faster than she was two years ago.

strangu1atiOn by Technicality,


Perpetually challenge cup for competi-
ton between foreign countries.
This Is the description of the America 8
cup put by the owners of the America and
the winners of the cup into the deed of
gift making the New York Yacht Club its
trustee.
Not for competition between a foreign
country and the New York Yacht Club but
for competition between a foreign country
and America-all America. regardless of
geographical or social position, subject only
to such rules shall insure proper defense
of the cup
The New York Yacht. Club is excluding
Mr. LaWson's boat by petty technicalities
which it created and therefore which 1t can
brush away.
Do the present members of the club wish
to make foreigners. and Americans as we'll
look upon these cup races as little social
private affairs of no significance as a test
of our national skill at yachting? Do they
wish to discourage American interest in
yachting, American pride in the defense of
the cup, American enterprise in building
and sailing yachts?
If so, let them keep to their present
course. If not. let them end now and for
ever the unfortunate impression which their
pettiness has created.

West Points Prestige to Be Saved.

The government is apparently determined
to save the prestige and the usefulness Of
the West Point Military Academy, at any
cost. This decision, as announced yesterday
as the result of Col. Mills visit to the War
Department. will be universally applauded.
The people take great pride in West Point
Some of the most distinguished men in the
republics history received their highest
training there. During the civil war many
of the leaders on both sides were West
Pointers. So there is no sectional spirit in
the love of the nation for the institution
or in the demand that it be preserved from
decentralization. 1t is mortifying specta-
Gle for promising cadets to be SO carried
away by prejudice for a silly custom that
they are incapable of recognizing the para
mount requirements of discipline. 1t is to
be deeply regretted that five of the cadets
must be sacrificed to the determination to
purge the academy of the spirit of resist
ance to lawful authority. mutinous move
ment such as that which eliminated in the
mock training of a cannon on Col. Mills
house must be severely dealt with. 1t is not
in point whether the agreement between the
superintendent and the cadets with regards
to hazing was wholly sensible TO civilian
minds or not. That document must be con-
Sidered as a phase of the attempt to solve
the problems growing out Of the Booz in
quiry by conciiatory rather than radical
means. 1t was then hoped that leniency
would appeal to the manhood and the SOL
dierly qualities of the young men at the
academy. Had they realized the generosity
of the government in dealing with them on
a diplomatic basis rather than with military
rigor and directnesS this friction with the
superintendent would not have occurred.
But apparently they conceived that they
had won a victory in heading off drastic
action By either the War Department or
Congress, and they proceeded to take adj
vantage of their seeming success. 1t is to
be feared that customs have become too
deeply rooted at this institution for gentle
removal. Those which are inimical to the
welfare of the establishment must be pulled
out ruthlessly, and if any individuals suffer
in the process the misfortune is unavoid-
able.
