A correspondent makes the interesting
proposition that instead Of ocean races
for yachts of moderate size, ocean cruises
be Held. Prizes would be given to all
yachts completing the course, and me-
mentoes to each member Of the crews.
The writer justly says that ocean races
are not designed solely as tests Of speed.
but to develop sound and wholesome
types OF seagoing craft and to encourage
the exercise Of skill and pluck in sea-
manship among amateur sailors.
At first glance the plan looks very
promising, but second thought will show
wherein it falls short. To 60 to sea in
summer In a small yacht is to risk dis
comfort. but seldom to incur great dam
ger. 1t it were entirely optional with
the skipper whether he would arrive at
his port Of destination, say Bermuda, in
ten days or two months, he would not
be obliged TO display much skill or dar-
ing in his seamanship. He could pass
out by the lightship under a reefed main
sail and a small jib, and cruise comfort
ably under them all the way. He could
even indulge in the custom Of the East
India tea wagons and make all snug
allow and aloft for the night.
The offer Of a prize for the first arrival,
on the other hand, makes it incumbent
on every skipper who means to be in
the contest at the finish to use his incest
Judgment In carrying sail and In laying
his courses. Skill and daring must be
displayed at every stage Of the struggle.
and the winner earns all he gets. Our
correspondent purpose might, however,
be gained by the Offering Of prizes add!
tional to that for the quickest time over
the course. Second and third prizes
might be given, and there might also be
prizes for the vessel arriving in the best
condition and for the one sailing the
shortest oourse. At any rate, yachts
men will readily see that there are many
ways to encourage ocean yacht racing,
which should not be permitted to Ian
euish after the present fash Of enthusi-
esp for the grand sport has died out.

The Gaekwar Of Raroda at Homo,

Since his arrival in this country the
Gaekwar of Baroda has comported him
self 80 sensibly and with such tact that
his official station in his native country
has been almost lost to sight, and he
has come to be looked on moro in the
light Of an intelligent and cultivated gem
tleman Of British training engaged in
the study Of social and industrial con-
ditions than as a Prince whose official
acts are Of the utmost consequence to a
large number Of subjects. In the Indian
World for April the official side Of the
Gaekwar's life is treated in an article
from which some notion Of his High
ness's policy may be obtained.
Baroda has for centuries been the home
OF skilled weavers, smiths and craftsmen
Of high repute in other trades. Anhil-

called Patala, which every Gujrati bride
insists on wearing on the occasion Of her

Stete prescribed It's use, but a moro rea-
sonable explanation Of It's popularity is
found in the beauty Of its weave and
design. In Naosari, whore, In the seventh
century, the 'Parsee Pilgrim Fathers'
who 6ed from Moslem persecution in
Persia were welcomed by the Hindu
rulers, for centuries weaving has been
carried on in the highest form OF the art.
Amreli and Visnagar produce beautiful
gold and silver work, from the bands Of
men whose ancestors for generations fol-
lowed the smiths calling.
The hand industries of India suffered
from the competition Of English and
European mills in the nineteenth ZEN
tury, and for years the case Of the work.
ers seemed hopeless. About twenty
years ago, however, Baroda's ruler
established q State mill, ne an object

turned slight profits to the State, but it

Cross and Crescent.

To THE EDITOR oP TIE SuN-ST: The
closing paragraph OF your editorial this MORN
ing on the Prospects Of international Peace"
impressed me very much. You said: 1T

Grafton to behold the displacement Of the
crescent by the cross above the Mosque Of
st. Sofla.'
1t has been dream of mine for very many
years to see. or at least TO hear OF. the repeti-
ton In st. Sofia Of that most mournful and
last of Christian services, when the last Of the
C~onstantines with his officers psrtook Of the
communion In this grandest Of Christian
churches and then went forth TO his death
on the morrow. and to the extinction Of Chris

uniting the eastern and western branches Of
the Church II they were combined on such
a solemn and momentouB occasion. TIT

to admit Of united action. Perhaps also the
differences In the offshoots from the western
branch Of the Church might be reduced to q
working basis.
The conditions described In your editorial
as existing at Constantihople exactly answer
the prophecy Of Daniel. H., $40. which Chris
tisns generally regard as relating to this
period, when the Turk shall fade away into
the East from which no came four centuries
ago to ourne this fatr portion Of Gods earth.

The Naturalization BILL.

The uniform naturalization bill passed
by the House on Tuesday would make
admission to United States citizenship
somewhat more difficult than it now is,
but the restrictions it would impose
would not prove a hardship to any
desirable applicant. Each aspirant for
naturalization would have to sign the
petition for his final certificate in his
own handwriting, and all except those
making homestead entries would have
to speak the English language. Appli-
cants would be called on to give a pretty
complete history of their lives, to estab-
lieh by affirmative evidence their good
moral behavior for five years previous to
the date OF their petitions, and to satisfy
the court that they were attached to the
principles of the Constitution and well
disposed to the good order and happi-
ness OF the same
The United States might apply to the
court for the revocation Of any certif-
cate of citizenship obtained by fraud,
and the certificate Of any naturalized
person who within five years from the
date OF his admission took up permanent
residence in q foreign country would
be liable to cancellation. The diplo-
matio and consular services would be
employed to trace and identify such per-
o BY this provision it is intended
to stop the practice, now not uncommon,
under which men with no intention Of
living in the United States obtain citi-
zenship for the immunities and proteo-
ton it affords them in their own or other
countries.
The court costs of admission to citi-
zenship would be S. for each applicant,
and he would be obliged to pay the usual
fees for all witnesses subpenaed at
his request. The certificates and books
necessary to keep a complete record of
all naturalizations would be furnished
by the Federal Government, which would
keep in the Department of Commerce
and Labor a duplicate record OF all
naturalizations for the use of the national
officers.
The bill will not meet the wishes of
those who would make citizenship the
reward Of only conspicuously fit and
gifted men of foreign birth. Neither
does it open the doors to all the unde-
sirables. 1t is moderate and sensible in
its requirements, and seems likely to
meet the needs of a very complicated
situation satisfactorily.

Meat and the Constitution.

1. The fresh meat, apparently somo

2. Asto eight per cent. which Is canned,
Il seems to be a matter Of sociological
inference, rather than Of demonstration,
that there 10 anything %unhealthful in II.
3. Sanitary conditions in the Chicago
stock yards were capable Of improve
ment, and are being improved.
4. It is safe to assume that all packing
houses, in or out OF Chicago, will here
after be conducted with as much cleanli-
ness as is possible in a trade necessarily
less inviting than the selling of chocolate
pistache.
s. There is no need of public excite
ment over the matter and the public
health was never better.
9. Behind the hoggish and unpopular
beef trust are great, innocent industries
and hundreds of thousands Of innocent
persons that have been injured and will
continue to be injured until the feverish
disposition to believe the worst passes
away,
Z. Federal meat inspection, constitu-
tional or unconstitutional, is now yearned
for. 1t was easy for Mr.. CRuMPAcKER
Of Indiana to make a strong argument
against it's constitutionality. The mixed
feelings of the House Committee on
Agriculture are described in THE SUNS
Washington dispatches:
Some Of them believe that his contentious are
valid. but are anxious to take action that win sp.
pease the public mind and correct tho injury that
has already been done to the packing interests
and the stock raisers, while others, before doing
anything, want TO get the packers TO consent to
overlook the unconsttutlonality OF any law that
NAV be enacted and abide by Its provisions"
8. Unconstitutionality, by consent Of
the party affected, is a little curious, but
both Congress and the packers seem
willing to do almost anything to stop the
damage end the alarm.
0. State and local inspection are sure
to be more rigid hereafter.
10. The majority Of people will con-
tinue to eat in peace. The Constitution
may be the principal sufferer.

Why Japan and China Are Treated
Differently.

Colonel RICHARD WEIoHTMAN dis
cusses in the North American Review
the grounds for the charge that the
irritation caused by the special priv
ileges granted by treaty to American
missionaries is responsible for the OBJ
struction which American commerce has
encountered OF late in China. He says
that this irritation has been deepened by
a feeling that the Chinese are subjected
to unfair discrimination, since similar
privileges are no longer granted to Amer
loan missionaries in Japan. There is no
doubt that the system Of 'exterritori-
atty which highly civilized nations
have long been accustomed to impose
upon non-C Christian countries is likely to
wound national PRIDE but it is not with.
