A DEFINITE CHALLENGE.
Sir Thomas Lipton's Remarks ar,
 So Construed,

London. Nov. 26.-Sir Thomas Lipton's an- nouncement last evening at the banquet given in his honor at the Hotel Cecil that he was willing to make another attempt to lift tho Americas cup should no else do so. may be taken as tantamount to definite chal- lenge. His inquiries in yachting circles have elicited the fact that no other British yachts man has the slightest desire to step into tho breach and it IS safe to say that hc Sham
 rock III. will be in American water However. with the view of securing all legit
 mate advantage. Sir Thomas will not officially communicate his decision to the New Yori Yacht Club until the of the expiration o
 the time in which challenge can be received
 W. G. Jameson. the amateur yachtsman who represented Sir Thomas Lipton tn, Shamrock II. during the races off Sandy Hool this year, and whose absence from the banque last night was much noticed, will not take an, part in Sir Thomas's future yachting ventures

Our New Mayor.

Mr. J.. O. SomerviIle, who was
recently elected Mayor of Point
Pleasant, by tue biggest maj 'ri'y
ever given for candidate for this
office, is now iu full authority in
tue town, and from the way he
starts out, he will prove, the Reg
lister believes, to bea good May
or as Point Pleasant has ever had.
He was loath TO accept the nomin-
alton, but the pressure was SO great
ON him that he could not refuse.
The result was satisfactory TO him
and his friends, and we all wish
him pleasant sailing for the next
two years. In AN interview with
him yesterday, he said it was his
earnest desire to give the ciIy the
most efficient services in his pow
er; and said further that he believ-
ed Point Pleasant was on the
threshold of great development,
at3a thaki IL would be his aim, as it
should be the aim of every citizen,
to promote that development by
every fair and legitimate means,
and that it should be the aim Of
the officers of the oity by pru-
dent and wise administration to
render every assistance to the de-
velopment, improvement and the
building up of Point Pleasant.

rho Poor Man.

Editor Register;
L noticed an article in the State
Gsz ,te of March 2Sth, headed
"Gossip ut the Nations Capitol y
and it seems to me from reading
that article on the tariff question,
that they are going TO st"al cur
platform. if they curry out thoir
liiea uf reform in regard to trusts.
But tue strangest thing that goer
with this article, is, that they have
found law that they can govern a
trust. Before the election they
said that there was not law under
the canopy OF heaven that would
govern trust, but at this time it
seems that through the wisdom of
Mark Hanna, or some other wise
man, that they have found law
that they can govern the trust to
some extent, at least. But l don't
think that Mark ought to have the
credit for finding that law, from
the fact he has never found out
yet that there was trust. 1t GER
tainly is strange that an article of
that purport was published in the
Gazette. 1 am certainly led to be-
lieve that there is some reform 60
ing on in Point Pleasant; and that
belief is confirmed since the last
election. 1 wonder who, in the
Republican ranks, found out that
there was trust2 1 expect it was
some poor man that had to buy a
few pounds of barbed-wire. Now,
gentlemen, we don't object to the
reform; let it come; for [ assure
you that we all will be benefited
by it. And we are not going to
get mad if you do work the reform
on the line of Democratic prinoi-
Piles. t. e. GREENLEE,

Senators BY Tie People.

Pittsburg Post.
We are glad to see indications of
continuous effort by the Pennsyi-
vania Legislature to secure the
adoption of constitutional amend
ment for the election of United
States senators by the people of
the several States. The prospects
of success are not encouraging, al.
though there is no question great
majority of the people favor the
change. There is little or no pros
peot that the Federal Senate will
vote, as the House of. Representa-
tivet has frequently done, to sub
nit such an amendment to the
States for ratification. The only
recourse left to carry the reform ia
for constitutional convention
which Congress must call on the
request of the Legislatures of thir-
ty of the forty.6ve States. Penn
sylvania has broken ground in this
direction and we believe has been
seconded by Illinois. New Hamp-
shire has negatived it. There are
no indications of action by the 9TH
er States. While the people favor
the election of senators by the peo-
pie, there is general distrust of The
idea of calling constitutional
convention, for once in session
there is no telling to what extent
it would go in making changes in
the Federal Constitution. The
people most likely would rather
bear the ills they have than fly to
others they know not of. The
House, at Harrisburg, however, has
passed resolution for joint COM
mittee to press the election of sen.
ators by the people on the Legisla-
lures of other States This looks
to organized effort, emanating from
this State. AS stated, there are
but two ways by which the change
can be secured One is by Con-
gress submitting an amendment to
the States, to which the Federal
Senate always has been aud prob
ably always will be oppc sed. The
other is by constitutional oonven-
ton called on the request of two
thirds of the States. There does
not seem to be much prospect of
it's success.

TIle Largest steamer.

The Kores, which was launch'd d
Saturday at the Newport News
Ship Building Company's works,
bears the distinction of being up
to date the largest steam vessel
ever built on THE side of the At
lantio. With length of 572 feet
4 inches and beam of63 feet, she
will displace 18,6OO tons on draft
of 27 feet. Some idoa of the size
of the Korea may be derived fro II
the fact that from the top to the
bottom of the bare hull is dis.
tance of 40 feet while the distanoo
around her rail is nearly quarter
of mile. She is to be fitted wi h
engines of $4,000 horse power, suf-
ficient to propel her at speed of
from 19 to 20 knots. The Korea
will accommodate L 400 passengers,
of whom 200 will be fret cabin
passengerso She is designed fos
the Pacific Mail Steamship com.
pany, to ply between San Fran
cisco and Hong Kong.

An Infamous Law.

Oil Review.
Tho State license tax imposed
by the last legislature upon huck-
sters is going to drive many
who exc out an existence by that
means, out of business. The indi-
viduals who peddle vegetables on
the streets will have to pay 800 a
year, and the man who drives a
little oil wagon and sells from door
to door will have to pay 5000.
Other huoksters will bo taxed in
proportion. None of them make
enough money to pay this exorbi;
tant tax and the result is they will
be compelled to seek other means
of employment. The Legislature
allowed the owners of mineral
lands and oil products to escape,
and nollified it's conscience by
olapping this tax on people who
cannot pay it.

what a Girl Thinks of Boys.

At recent public school oxami-

this composition was handed in by
a girl of u: "The boy is not an
animal, yet they can be heard to a
considerable distance. When a
boy hollers he opens his big mouth
like frogs, but girls hold their
tongue till they are spoken to, and
then they answer respectable and
tell just how it was. A boy thinks
himself clever because he can wade
where the water is deep. When
the boy grows up he is called hus-
band, and he stops wading and
stays out at nights, but the grown
up girl is widow and keeps
house"

judgment, there are even better op,

there have been in any CT the To-
