speech that the coal duty was SNUG

The Brooklyn Eagle (Dem.) says
OF the coal mine plank Of the New
York Democratic platform: at was

through under the previous question.
Delegates had no more chance to un-
derstand it or to beat 1t than passen-

just fishing for votes, undermining of
the effect of socialism as bait"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem)
says: Secretary Shaw says that the
rcaking of tariff schedules is an I'M
dertalxing that cannot be properly ar
ranged by voters at the polls This is
true enough. The voters. however
can deputize men in whom they have
confidence to rearrange schedules. The
tariffs that have been first prepared
by the various protected interests and
afterward enacted by Republican con-
crosses are so unfair that they can
no longer be defended by the party that
made itself responsible for them. The
need of revision Is admitted The cry
for a remission of some Of the more
obnoxious duties IL not confined to the
Democratic party. 1t is heard In The
East as well as the West from Re-
publican throats, and nowhere more
insistenuy than IN Secretary Shaw's

LIPTON,s .AMBITION.

Mr.. A. w. Maconochie. a member of
Parliament and business associate of
Sir Thomas Upton, is a visitor in New
York and is doing considerable talking
about Sir Thomas ambition to lift the
Americas Cup. Mr. Maconochie says
that 1t is quite certain that the cup
will be carried back to England this
time-at least, Mr.. Maconochie has no
doubt that Sir Thomas will be the win
ner. He says that the material in the
new Shamrock will not cost as much
ms that in Shamrock II did, but that
the cost of construction will be a great
deal more. He has IT from the best
authority that the new challenger will
be the most complete yacht ever con-
strueted.
1T has been known for some time of
course that Mr.. Fife would design
the new boat, but it has not been gem
orally known that he is to have the, as
sistance of Mr.. Watson, who designed
/ the second Shamrock. There is no
doubt that all the, skill In yacht build
ing there is In England will be con-
centrated In the building of this boat
with which Sir Thomas Upton hopes
to carry off the Americas Cup On
this side of the ocean. however, there
does not seem to be any uneasiness in
regard to the matter. A boat will be
built that will outsail anything that
can be produced In England. Besides,
there are sailors here than can beat
anything In the sailorrnan line that can
be found under the British nag. -
