A SOTTND PLEA

The New York Sun comes to the
 front with plea for three mile in stead of four mile course for college rowing races It remarks under the heading The Four Mile Torture"
 Spectators who had places near enough to the finish line of the race be- tween the university crews of Har-- ward and Yale last week to get a good view of the men in the Yale shell saw the strongest kind Of argument for the reduction of the distance of in- tercollegiate rowing contests from four miles to three.
 "The four mile course Is too long for undergraduate amateurs, however well trained. Three miles would make ljust as good and exciting a race, and would advance the value of skill and form over mere weight and brute force. The performance of Syracuse crews shows that the "get there" style is useless for more than two miles; three miles Is the ideal distance, with the fairest opportunity for combined skill pluck and muscular drive.
 Even in the Poughkeepsie regatta, where there are always five or six crews competing and the nervous strain is less severe than it is in the Yale Harvard "dual regatta three mile race for the university eights would probably be favored by the majority of the oarsmen, their college packers and the unattached spectators. al- though the professional coaches insist lon the longer distance. Tn the New London duel the reduction is especially desirable.
 Six hundred back cracking sweeps of the ash blades is too much to re- quire of the twenty to twenty-two- year-old athlete. Moreover the gen jus of the American athlete is for sprint rather than distance racing. Two miles or perhaps only a mile and a half for the freshmen, and three miles for the university eights would make our col lege rowing better sport.

doubt that the tariff is to be an issue
 whether the Republicans like it or no
 and there is no doubt, too, that public
 sentiment in behalf of tariff reform is
 not dead, but sleeping. If in consider
 ation of the more direct and obvious
 kay to control law-breaking corpora
 tions this issue has been neglected, the
 very fact suggests the likenood of its
 revival. With the bills passed this
 session out of the way, tariff legisla-
 ton, even without the intervention of
 the President is certain to be pressed
 by the Democratic part and by a
 goodly numbr of Republicans.
 And who can say how successful | ariff agitation may not be, even dur
 ing the life of the Ffty-ninth Con-
 gross There was no desire to pass a
 Railway Rate bill or Pure Food bill
 In the Senate, at least there was bit ter opposition to the one, and in the
 House there was equally bitter oppo- sition to the other. It is customary to argue that the President alone, by the Interference" for which he is criticised, made their passage possi- ble. No small portion of the credit Indeed belongs to him. But it was not so much the direct pressure of the executive upon the legislative depart ment-this in fact, was resented with some vehemence-Which compelled both Houses to act, as the response Of public sentiment to the executive ap- peal Congressman, who go back to their constituents every two years, are always accessible to this sort of in- fiuence. This year. however, even Sen- ators have felt it. Mr. Allison admit ted, for example that the Free Alco- hol bill would not have been passed but for the popular outcry in its favor. Much is gained when the Senate is
 thus forced to acknowledge the power of the plain voter. It has too long been the stronghold of special privi- lege and a reactionary policy. But q President with the peorle behind him can make the closest friends of the trusts glad to come to terms It has been distinctly humorous during the last few weeks to see the Senate stand ing out against the. House for an efll- cient measure of meatainspection.
 The importance of the work accom- plished by this radical Congress can not yet be fully estimated. The new laws have not been tested by experi- ence. That they are defective in places may safely be assumed, Indeed, in some cases, as in the Meat Inspection bill, a compromise representing some- thing less than the best had to be ac- cepted. The Railroad Rate bill, too, is to some extent experimental. But, generally considered, and appreciable advance has been made in the direc- tlon of controlling the absue of power by corporations The Employers Lia- billty bill, for example, is a measure that could hardly have been carried at a time when ropular sentiment was quiescent. It denotes a marked change in the attitude of Congress from its old laissez faire policy in the matter of labor legislation. That there is danger of too much paternal legislation may be admitted. When the pendulum has swung too far in one direction it may be expected to swing equally far in the other. In view, however, of the many loopholes in the law by

The death of Mrs. Patrick Costello, of 214 Franklin street, occurred yesterday. She was the oldest resident of St. Pat rick's parish, having resided there be- fore the cornerstone was laid, fifty three years ago. Her death is one which will be deeply regretted by all who ever knew her

THE RADICAL coNGRrss

Even the most cursory review of what the Fifty-ninth Congress has done during the session just ended shows that it has passed very con- siderable body of Legislation which might fairly be described as radical The word, of course, is comnarativn. from a Socialist point of view the laws dealing with trusts and cornoratiops would seem conservative. Every meas ure has been more or Jess amended to make it safe and sane" and some of the amendments, at least, many have weakened valuable provisions Several eral bill that ought to have becone law, too, have failed. But. on the
 wi ole, the record is 6 remarkable ana considering the natural disposition of legislators to pursue policy of inter- ference in small matters while ignor- ing large Four acts that may fairI,, be called landmarks in statr1ta law alone make the session nlemorable-tba Railroad Rate bill, the Employers, Tia bility bill, the Meat Inspection bill and the Pure Food bill. There should have been five; for the bill prohibiting cor poration contributions to canpaipn funds was a natural complement to the efforts to restrain the corporate abuse of power. It is precisely bv their relations with party managers that the trusts have been able to se- cure legislation in their favor or pre- vent legislation against them.
 That there is any vehement radical sentiment among members of Congress does not follow. The attitude of the majority of the Republican party to- ward the tariff indicates sufficiently that there is little disposition to curb the normous aggregations of capitaJ in the most effective way-by depriv- ing them of the special privileges that a policy of extreme and unitelIigent protection bestows upon them. But in this matter there has been no ire sistible pressure brought to bear dur ing the session just ended. The Presi- dent has been occupied with other things, assuming, indeed, that he cares to see the tariff touched at all. as to which he has as yet given no sign. Possibly the campaign, which will soon open may lead him to formulate his ideas upon this topic, There is no
