TIE NINETY-FOOTERS.

The racing feature of the New-York Yacht
Club cruise which ended yesterday did not
materially affect the estimate already formed
as to the comparative merits of the big sloops.
1t is still considered virtually certain that the
Reliance will be chosen to defend the America Is
Cup next month against Shamrock III, but the
evidence on which that confident opinion is
based has not been greatly strengthened during
the last week.
On the first run, from Glen Cove to New
Haven. though the elapsed time OF the Reliance
was slightly less than that of the Constitution,
she was beaten on time allowance; but the race
began in the Hghtest Of airs and the conditions
were never such as to afford true test FROM
New-Haven to New-LondOn the Reliance beat
the Constitution handsomely in a fast race, but
in a race almost as fast from New-London to
Newport was beaten on time allowance. On
the run from Newport to Vineyard Haven the
Columbia was leading when night closed down,
after a day of fog and light airs, which pre-
vented a finish In returning from Vineyard
Haven to Newport the Constitution, having
lust escaped the shoal on which the Reliance
touched and the Columbia hung fast, broke her
topmast so that the Reliance finished without
any actual competitor. On Thursday, in the
special race for the 9O-footers, the Reliance
won easily from the Columbia, the Const1tu-
ton not being in condition to enter. Thus 1t
appears that the Constitution did exceedingly
well when not disabled, but that the Reliance
did somewhat better on the whole, without
greatly enhancing the reputation for extraor-
binary qualities which she had already safely
earned The weather was chiefly responsible
for some disappointments.
One fact is becoming more noticeable, we
judge, as the yachting season advances and
the time for the international contests begins
to be near at hand. namely, that dissatisfac-
ton with this latest type Of racing machine
is spreading. 1t is beautiful to look upon and
marvel in many ways, but the feeling is becOm-
ing pretty general among yachtsmen, we think,
not TO speak of the larger public which pos
sesses some nautical understanding and ex-
perience, that reversiOn to an earlier type
ought to be brought about. These modern
boats, wonderfully fleet but fragile-or, if not
fragile as a whole, yet vulnerable in many
parts-serve the single purpose for which they
are designed superlatively well; but is 1t pur-
pose worth serving alone. at a sacrifice of much
which international competitions on the water
might accomplish? That question is being
asked oftener this summer than heretofore, and,
we hope, more seriously considered by men on
whose judgment the character of future races
for the Americas Cup will depend.

STOPPAGE OF ELEVATED TRAINS

Life was endangered in several ways by the
suspension of traffic on the Manhattan elevated
lines Thursday evening. People with weak
hearts might nave collapsed in consequence of
the jam on station platforms and stairways.
Others might easily have been showed off onto
the tracks in front Of trains when operations
were resumed. Scores undoubtedly came N
contact with the third rail while walking from
stalled trains TO the nearest station Had not
the current been turned off, the consequences
would have been probably fatal
1t has been suggested that the initial exnlo-
sion which led to the stoppage of business re-
suited from the presence of gas in the conduit
wherein lay the supply cables. The theory is
not unreasonable. Accidents Of that kind have
happened before. Gas never explodes though
unless it is ignited. Defective insulation of
electric wires is not uncommon cause of fires.
In combination with leaks in adjacent GAS
mains it has produced 10 end of eruDtions in
the streets of the metropolis Hence sometime,
besides the presence OF explosive vapor was re-
sponsible for Thursday evenings accident and
all that followed; and that something ought 10
have been within the control of the INTERIOR
ough Rapid Transit Company
The need of at least three improvements is
revealed by the situation existing for an hour
after the last breakdown of service on the
aanhattan elevated lines. Greater promptness
III excluding the public from stations in sucb
crises should be manifested. The third rail
should be hooded. 4 ireproof environment
should be given to electric cables at manboIes
Perhaps little original thinking by electricians
may be requisite in order to carry ont the
proposition last mentioned. The application of
flexible but absolutely incOmbustible wran
ping OF asbestos may not be the best solution
OF the problem. ANY one Of half dozen other
e1pedients may be superior. There IS how
ever distinct necessity. which should soon no

"GRAET,, IN THE LABOR UNIONS.

The building trades of this city have long
been in an utterly demOralized condition. 1t
would be by no means fair to organized labor
In general to judge it by the doings of the ad-
Henturers and "grafters" who have found
through their control of the masons carpenters
and smiths here potent instrument for the
practice of systematic eXtOrtiOn on contractors.
We may we'll believe that the situation revealed
10y the trial of Lawrence Murphy is exceptional.
Nevertheless, it shows such possibilities Of per-
verting labor organizations into machines for
systematic and wholesale Matchmaking that it
ought to put all honest workmen on their guard.
Here is a man charged with embezzling $4,000
OF the funds of the Journeymen Stonecutters'
Union. His defence is that the money was OBJ
tained by extOrtion, and, therefore, that he
could not be held for embezzling money from
zhose TO whom it did not rightly belong.
We are not concerned with the moral or legal
sufficiency of this defence. If accepted it mere
By shows that two sets of thieves have fallen
out The trial, however, leaves little doubt that
the contractors have for a long while been sub
uniting TO robbery. Perhaps they are not en-
titled 10 sympathy; the man who is so cow
'ardly as TO let himself be blackmaied generally
deserves it, They are TO blame as much as
anybody for the expensive troubles in the build
ang trades. Instead of resisting extortion at
the first and putting it down, they have paid
for peace, and each year found the demands
made upon them more extravagant Finally
they have lost vast sums of money in a strike
which was precipitated when they could 90 no
further in concessions. The accounts given by
Mr.. Andrew ID. Baird of a $4,000 payment to a
union when his men joined it as penalty for
having carried on business before without max
ing them join could doubtless be paralleled by
many other contractors whose own timdity laid
them open TO extortion.
Nevertheless, labor unionists cannot afford to
ignore the criminal activities of those whom
they put in power Submitting themselves to
the dictatiOn Of walking delegates as they
have, they have created an engine apt for ex-
tortion They have made it difficult for the
contractor, especially the small contractor with
little capital, 10 resist extortion. He learned by
experience that they would generally stand by
tie walking delegate no matter how unreason-
able bis demands The contractor could not go
10 the workers and reason with them and
show that the union demands were being made
by leaders, not 70 benefit the employees, but to
oil the pockets Of their dishonest leaders They
would not believe it. The strike would 90 on
nnd the contractor might be ruined. The labor
unlonists by blind partisanship and clannish
ness have mnde robbery IN their name easy, and
AZ they do not want themselves and their or
sanizafioDs 70 be utterly dlscredited they must

THE SPORT OF LYHCHTNG.

The letter Of Professor William James to

attention of every thoughtful American He is
a keen student of human nature, and when he
interprets the psychology of the crowd" as
manifested in the more and more popular
sport" of lynching, his Interpretation is en-
titled TO respect. Whether we are as near real
civil war as he fears, certainly our condition is
sad enough to call for serious searching for
remedy.
Professor James's remedy is that which The
Tribune has been advocating-stern punishment
Of lynchers. We have said that the evil would
spread until sherifs had the courage TO shoot
and shoot TO kill. Professor James says that
many leading citizens" must be hanged AS he
notes that for the most part juries will not in

UNDAUNTED PATERSON.

There are few cities in this country which
have suffered such visitations as Paterson.
n. ]. Certainly none east of the Mississippi
have been unfortunate. 1t has been the
victim Of food, fire and the fury of the wind.
1t is the home of colony of anarchists, who
have made it hotbed for their destructive
schemes throughout the world and have men,
aced the social and economic conditions of the
city itself. Revolving crimes which shocked
the entire nation have been committed there
This recital IS not given for the purpose of
holding the New-Jersey city up to the scorn
and contumely Of its fellows 1t is rather text
for few remarks on the wonderfully sturdy
qualities of the majority of it's inhabitants,
especially those who lead its public opinion
and guide its financial and commercial inter
ests. The recuperative power of Paterson has
become proverbial. After the great fire of the
winter of 1902 offers Of help poured in upon
the stricken city. Instead of supinely accept
ing the aid so generously and graciously prof
Tered, the leading citizens. with Mayor Hinch-
life at their head, politely thanked their
friends for their kindness and sent forth to
the world the ringing message that Paterson
by its own efforts and with its own money
would rebuild itself. The result is that the
great burned area is to-day occupied bv
stanch structures which are a monument to
Paterson capital, Paterson energy and Paterson
courage.
Again Paterson has been stricken, and again
the word goes out that Paterson will take
care Of itself. It's past performances" inspire
the confidence that it can do So and the Amer
lean people applaud the recuperative power of
Paterson.

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Chess for the blind is one of the latest "Nou-
veautes de Paris" though the idea first orisi-
mated by a professional chess player familiar
enough to British devotees of the game. 1t one
day occurred to Professor Goldberg that, consider
ing how often chess Is played blindfolded, there
ought TO be difficulty in teaching the game to
the really blind. He communicated his idea TO NJ.
de la Sezeranne. who took it up with enthusiasm,
with the result that at the Valentin Hady Associa-
ton headquarters there the other day inaugu-
rated special chess class for the blind. The
boards are in futed and smooth squares, and one
set OF pieces is rounded at the top, while the other
is pointed Charitable individuals and the National
Institute for the Blind interesting themselves
