Counting Danger.

Our esteemed Berlin contem porary,
the Staatsbdrger Zeitung, is frightened
by the pernicious activity Of American
women in European politics:
The most prominent European statesmen. dip
lomats and politicians marry American girls.
who thereby obtain unbounded influence over their
public acts. This tends TO democratize Europe
and produce other dangerous consequences. This
is a serious phase OF the American peril American
wives arc really political agents OF the western
republic away from America"
II the American peril comes in the
form Of the American Woman, what
statesman, diplomat or politician will not
love danger? She would be an irresisti-
bic missionary if she chose to be. Even
unconsciously she must influence her
husband, Americanize him somewhat;
and how can he think ill Of a country
which has the credit of producing her?
Still, we are as heartily in favor OF
keeping that cunning'st pattern Of ex-
ceiling Nature at home as the Stadts-
burger Zeitung is. Put an embargo on
her. She is too precious to export.

The TRAN gular Yacht Race

If the predictions of the weather de-
partment, which appears to be making
special efforts just at present, are cor
rect, the second meeting Of Reliance and
Shamrock Ill, scheduled for to-day,
should end in finished race and not one
of those depressing fizzles which inele-
CANT yachting experts" call "f1ukes.
Sir THOMAS Upton hopes that in tri-
angular race his yacht may make better
showing, but he finds much difficulty in
defining tho basis of his hopes. Mr..
FIFE, the designer, like prudent man,
practises upon the golden lutte Of silence,
but doubtless does vast amount OF
thinking,
In truth, as some of the British papers
say, there seems to be no way Of con-
structing theoretically victory Of Sham
rock ILL., in any single race. fin to-day
triangular race she gets all the conditions
to her liking-an these would be breeze
OF from eight to ten knots with short,
steep sea to check Reliance's way-she
might beat our champion on the wind
ward leg; but on the two reaching legs
the defenders power and great sail
spread would be too much for the chal-
lenger. The more it blows the faster the
big boat will go; she showed that on
Saturday. What she can do in light airs
she showed last Thursday.
Unless, therefore, Shamrock iii. dis
closes hitherto unsupported qualities
Reliance will beat her in a triangular race
in any conditions. The third race will
be to windward and return, and here
again the defenders great speed at rum
ming is sure to turn any ordinary beating
to the windward mark into victory at
the finish.
1t looks like three straight once more,
and the Cup to be still here. Neverthe-
less would not every one be glad il Sir
THOMAS should win just one race? He
deserves it.

Mr.. ROOSEVELT is certain that ne will
be nominated and that he will be elected.
And il Ia because, being at ease upon this
point, the President has now much time
for reflection, and in the repose and Sc
clusion Of his summer resting place does
reflect, upon the fruit of the twelve
month-it is for this reason that we in
cline to believe that there is not little
which, were it to do over again, he would
fain do differently, perhaps not do at ALL
And it is this way that safety lies.
When the public is convinced that Mr.
ROOSEVELT has taken experience to
heart, that he has learned useful lesson
and that his personal political enterprises
in the future are like to be tempered by
a due consideration OF their effect upon
the substantial interests and general
welfare Of the country, then the public
will look forward to four years more OF
his rule with less Of doubt and appre-
hension. This is a desirable, even an
essential consummation, especially since
it is now long since apparent that all the
functions and all the policy Of the Presi-
dents party are comprehended. con-
trolled and included in Mr. ROOSEVELT
himself.

unquestionaly the movement has had a
powerful effect in stimulating Jewish

from welcoming. They think that it
aggravates the seriousness of the Jew

obvious that very generally young Jews
after graduating from the public schools
into the colleges imbibe spirit which
distinguishes them very radically from
their strictly orthodox parents. This
transformation is going on to such an
extent that the Ghetto must gradually

concerned, unless it is recruited con-
