The Old Dominion Boat CLUBS
Regatta.

Everything seemed to consplfe 1n
Tuesday afternoon to aid in making lhe
annual regatta of the Old Dominion BOAT
C'nb pronounced success. Inc iofe'
nom had been overcast and threatening,
but by 4 O'Clock the sky had cleared and
the blne waters of the old Potomac danced
in the sunlight. No clark Plntonian
shadows gathered on the evening blast, "
but gentle breeze came over the water
inst sufficient to make dn easy swell
without interfering with the rowing,
while it Huttered the drapery Of the en-
trancing array of youth and beauty gath
cred on the broad balcony of the boat
house. Never on any occasion did Alex
andria have more cause to be proud or to
boast of its beauty. The ranks of the
well-known bellies were augmented by
debutantes of last season, and by many
visitors from neighboring cities. The
races, beginning with the double out
ringers and ending with the canoes, were
highly interesting aud spirited, showing
that the material for the making OF fine
oarsmen in the club is abundant and IN
creasing all the time. Mr.. Charles
Barrett demonstrated by his bold and
skillfuI handling OF the "single SOULS,
that that ticklish craft will soon be
new feature in the regattas OF the Oid
Dominion Boat Club
The first event was a race between ont
visgers which was rOwed in three heats.
Tn the first heat Knox and Tallman
came in first, Herbert and BrOokes sec"
ond. and Green aud Barrett third IN
the second heat, Stoutenburgh and Moss
were first to cross the line, Cochran and
Hunter and Cats and Graham tied for
second place and McBurney and STAINS
hurry were third. In the final run the
crews stood Knox and Tallman, Stout
enburgh and Moss, Cochran and Hunter,
and Cats aud Graham. There were
two entries for the four-Oared shell race
The winning crew was composed OF bar
rett Knox. Moss and Green, and the
other of Herbert, Fawcett, Bryant and
Stoutenburgh. During the race Stouten-
hurob lost his oar, which handicapped
the losing crew. The final event was
double-oared canoe race, the crews
being Stoutenburgh and Tallman and
Green and Barrett. The race was won
by the first named crew.
Capt Albert Bryan and Judge }. H.
NJ Norton were the starters, and Messrs.
Gardner l.. Booth and James 5. Doug
loo - ,yere the iudpes
After the races were over an abundance
of refreshments were served IN the
balcony and every one going away voted
the regatta a delightful event.

 There is also acute demoralizattoL in the Department of Commerce and Labor. Here the young Assistant sec retaries have been usurping the powerI of MT. Uhler, chief of the Steamboai Inspection Service, and of MT Sar. geant, chief of the Immigration ser vice, until their positions are oecom'

 When the Chicago convention of 1860

 from New York. said: Actaeon has

 cessor. Ticker" in politics is nearly as much of a disturbing element as Ohio to the Democrats in 1883. It made Wisconsin Democratic in 1890. It elected Horace Boies Governor of Iowa, the first Democrat to secure that honor in more than a third of a century. It was liquor in politics that made 1t pos sible to defeat James c. Blaine for not been candidate there is nothing more certain than that Blaine would have carried New York.
 Tillman Is the man who mixed liquor and politics in South Carolina. He turned the State into rum seller and gave 1t monopoly of the traffic. Him. self a teetotaler. he had discernment Legislation in the world would not eradicate the craving for alcoholic stimulants from the human appetite, ana IL IS pity that the average pro- hibitionist has not the sagacity to rec cognize that indisputable fact. As a general proposition prohibition makes law-breakers. perjurers, and not a few drunkards. It also Is the means of selling more mean flicker" than all other agencies. The average man in Kansas who will have whiskey gets 1t It is risky to break the law. and. as consequence. the liquor supplied Is the cheapest and the meanest to be had, for it Is a law of trade that the profit Is commensurate with the risk.
 South Carolina went into the whiskey citizen was eradicated so far as the right to buy and sell whiskey was con cerned He could not fetch whiskey Into the State for his own use. He had to buy of the State. and. I believe. he could not buy more than half a pint at A time. It was the most out rageous example of paternalism free blue laws were enacted to make men religious. and were harmless compared with a law to make men sober.
 Tillman put up his State barroom and called it a dispensary. I am not cer- tain but that one had to get a doctors half a pint. There were complaints as to the quality of the stuff and that is not strange. The State made money, for liquor selling Is a profitable busi- | ness. It reduced taxation and that made the tyranny somewhat tolerable.
 But this Is the age of graft and graft | crept into the rum trade of South Caro- | lima just as 1t had in the Insurance i business of New York and the Postoffice |, Department of the United States. And | now South Carolina is thinking of re-
