Land of the Midnight Sun.
The New York Sun aptly and crisply
says that there is not any country in
Europe that is better 'fitted to become
any race of people in Europe more
a republic than Norway. “There is not
completely fitted for self-government
of the Democratic kind than the Nor-
wegians. They are hampered in their
development by association with
Sweden. We favor the establishment
of that free and independent Nor-
wegian republic, the chief champion of
which is the worthy Norwegian poet
and novelist, Bjornsijerne Bjornson.”
The Van Alen Mission.
Republican members of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations, have
not felt it to be their duty to oppose
the confirmation of James J. Van Alen
to the office which was promised him
last fall in consideration of the sum of
$50,000 which he then contributed to
the Democratic campaign‘fund. The
nomination has therefore been, ap-
proved of by that Committee and will
doubtless be confirmed by the Senate.
The New York World attempts to off-
set the Wanamaker incident as an ex-
cuse for this discreditable bit of office
bargaining into which Mr. Cleveland
has been innocently inveigled,but there
is a wide practical, if not moral differ-
ence in the two cases, in that Mr.Wana-
maker was prominently fitted for his
office.
But this whole business of bargaining
011 offices to rich contributors to cam-
paign funds, is a most discreditable and
pernicious practice, no matter what
party resorts to it.
A Democratic View.
The Democratic party in Congress is
committed to three lines of action—the
repeal of the Sherman law, the repeal
, ofAhe Federal—electien-laws, and the
revision of the tariff, and the-question
arises whether the House of Repre-
sentatives, having disposed of the first
duty, should now sit in idle session
waiting the slow motions of the'Senate,
or go on with the work with Which it
was charged by the National Democ-
racy at their last convention.
A good deal is being said about the
inexpediency of undertaking partisan
legislation at this time, but what has
the Democratic House to gain by post-
poning it through fear that the sound
money Republicans of the Senate may
be influenced thereby to abandon their
principles and let the country go to the
dogs. .
The Republicans in both Houses of
Congress are well aware what the Dem“
ocratic programme is. They know all
about it, and are prepared to resist it
whenever it becomes necessary. The
financial question is in great measure
a non-partisan question, and in course
of time will be so acted upon. Strictly
party measures are certain to be pushed
sooner or later, and upon strictly party
lines. What difference should it make
to Republican Senators and Represent-
atlves when the fight opens. Partisan
politics is not much worse one time
than another.
”Tinkering With the Tariff."
It is justly charged that the appre-
hension of a repeal or material modifi-
cation of the McKinley tariff act has
had a good deal to do with bringing
about the business uncertainty and de-
pression of the past few months. It. A
had much to do with it, but not so
much as the politicians would have us
believe, perhaps.
It is well known that for the greater
portion of the last twenty years the
country has been fairly prosperous.
Our Democratic friends insist that it
was so during Mr. Cleveland’s first ad-
ministration. Republican ‘friends tell
us it was unusually so during Mr. Har-
rison’s administration. . Times were
good under the tariff of 1883, and
equally good under that of 1890. Are
they had now entirely, becauseof the
fear that changes may be made in the
present law? The times are certainly
too bad to admit of revision calculated
to diminish the revenues of the Gov-
ernment. , .
Since the close of the war there have
been nineteen tariff acts passed, main-
ly. in the direction of lower duties.
7 These enactments naturally followed
the eight acts that were passed between
March 2, 1861, and March 3, 1865, for
the purpose of augmenting the reve-
jnues. Yet no serious revulsions in
commerce or trade occurred that could
be chargeable to our tarifi' legislation.
The country has been gradually adapt-_
\
't'o'l'ear‘nof‘his death.,‘_. . ___..__;:.,,..,..
.ing itself to changed conditions. It
may not be that the proper adaptation
has yet been. reached.
At any rate, it is not reasonable to
hold that the general lack of confidence
had all its origin in the tariff plank
of the Chicago platform of 1892. There
would be no lack of confidence at all
on this score, could the tariff question
be removed from the domain of poli-
tics and settled on a non-partisan, busi-
ness basis as it ought to be. Whatever
mischief its agitation produces is whol-
ly owing to the fact that the agitation
is conducted on narrow partisan lines.
On'one point of protection there can
be no dispute. A bill ought to be at
once introduced into Congress and
passed, without partisan division, pro-
hibiting the enormous influx of Euro-
pean cheap and destitute laborers, while
our own American citizens are unable
to find self-supporting employment.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.——Yesterday was
Great Britain’s day so far as weather for a
yacht race was concerned, and Lord Dun
raven and all the crew‘ of the rakish black
cutter were happy when they went down
the bay in the morning.
C. Oliver Iselin and the gallant crew of
the white cup defender were the happy
ones when the yachts came back in the
afternoon. They led a triumphal proces-
sion of yachts and excursion craft up the
harbor, for the Vigilant had added another
victory to her score. She had walked away
from the Valkyrie in a wind that had
topped the seas with foam and drove clouds
of spray over her weather bows.
The day was an ideal one for an outside
race. The air was clear as crystal. It had
the vigorous freshness of October in it, and
every old salt who sniffed it in the early
morning predicted a blowing day. The
yachtsmeu, American as well as British,
were glad that the day had arrived when
there could be no excuse of light wind for
either of the contestants. All feltvthat the
comparative merits of the two crack single-
strikers would be made plain before the
day was over, and the anxious citizens of
two nations would be able to make some-
thing more than a guess as to which is the
queen of yachts. _ The first of the interna-
tional races was a run to leeward and re-
turn. That of yesterday, the second in
the series of three in five, was a triangular
course of 30 miles, ten miles to the leg.
There was bound to be Windward work,
And reaching and that always makes a
prettier race than a. leeward run.
The Start.
At 11:25 promptly the starting gun
flushed from the magic port bow, and the
red ball was lowered from the triatic stay.
The Valkyrie and Vigilant had both been
a little over to the westward but were then
bearing down for the line, the Valkyrie a
trifle in the lead. They were both on the
starboard tack, with the Vigilant’s nose
almost abreast of the Valkyrie’s weather
quarter. When the echo of the starting
gun died away, both boats put down their
helms, shot up into the wind, and darted
for the line, the American about five sec-
onds ahead, and a little to windward.
_ Both of them hoisted their :jib topsails as
they crossed, the Valkyrie an intermediate
and the Vigilant a small one. Despite the
seemingly great advantage that the Vigi-
lant enjoyed by having the weather guage
of her» antagonist, the English cutter
walked right through the American boat’s
lee, and gained more than three lengths in
the first ten minutes. Both yachts seemed
'to be pointing equally high, but the Vigi-
lant’s people were pinching too much, for
her head sails were shivering in the breeze,
while the weather leech of the set topsoil
was flat at back at times. The sails of
the Valkyrie Were wrapped full, and she
seemed to be outfooting her rival with
ease.
Under Strong Wind.
By noon the wind had freshened consid-
erably and the American boat accordingly
began‘to hold her own. At 12:05 the Val-
kyrie was forced to take in her jibtopsail,
but the Vigilaut held to hers. This, of
course, heeled over the American boat con-
siderably, while the Englishman seemed to
stand up as stiff as a house. The Vigi-
lant rapidly closed the gap between her-
self and the Valkyrie, and when it looked
as though she was going to pass-her to the
windward the Valkyrie went on the port
tack at 12:07. So rapidly had the Ameri-
can boat' overtaken the Englishman that
had the latter gone about he could not
have crossed the Vigilant’s bow. Of
course the Vigilant being on the starboard
side had the right of way, but instead of
forcing his rival to go astern, Mr. Iselin'
tacked 25 seconds later than the Valkyrie.
Both yachts stood to the westward. At
12:16 the Vigilant, heeling well over to
leeward, was forced to take in her jibtop-
sail. Both yachts now began to watch
each other very closely, and set their jib-
topsails each within a few seconds of the
other—the fresh breeze finally forcing them
to take these light sails down.
'Vigimut Ahead.
The rivals held'each’other quite as close
in beating as they did in making and tak-
ing in sail, and they were determined .not . '

the Valkyrie. At 12:58 the Valkyrie stood
off to tho southward on the starboard tack
while the Vigilant stood inshore for the
first mark on the port tack. At 1:01 "the
Englishman tacked again, and stood for
the mark, the American then leading by
three-quarters of a mile. At 1:04 the,
Vigilant, then about 200 yards north of
the mark, went on the starboard tack and
headed for the first turn, which she passed
on the port hand two minutes and thirty-
five seconds later. At 1:10 the Valkyrie
came bounding along for the mark, went
on the starboard tack, passing it. also to
port one minute and twenty seconds later.
Both yachts eased their sheets as they
rounded and bore away for the second
mark with a fresh breeze on the starboard
quarter, settlng their big jibtopsails as
soon as the course was shaped. The Val-
kyrie also set a snow white balloon forc-
staysail, and for a brief instant seemed to
gain a little on the Vigilaut. At 1:25 the
American boat took in her jibtopsail, but
the Englishman held on to his. The run
to the second mark was without incident
except that the breeze continued to freshen
and the Vigilant gradually increased her
lead. The racers ran for the second mark
with booms broad off to port, gybing
around it to the port tack, and shaping a.
course for home with the wind almost on
the port beams.
The Finish.
From the second mark to the finish ofi
Sandy Hook lightship, it was a broad
reach on the port tack, shifting to a close
reach as the wind canted to the westward.
The Vigilant seemed literally to fly through
the water from the moment she gybed
around the mark, and when the red outline
of the-lightsbip revealed itself in the haze,
the vaunted English cutter was hull down
fully three miles astern.
The yachts made for the line, established
by the May and the lightship, with the
Wind :1. little forward of the port beam,
and blowing almost half a gale. The old
lightship, a water mark dear to the hearts
of yachtmen owing to memorable contests
that have been sailed around it, has never
silently witnessed such a magnificent pan-
orama as was spread before it yesterday
afternoon, when the Vigilant proudly
swept by almost skimming the water with
her immaculate skirts.
There can be no doubt now in the minds
of experts as to which is the better boat of
the two, for the Englishman was beaten
yesterday on every point, and in his own
weather. In no condition of wind or sea.
can the Valkyrie be reckoned in y the same
class as the Vigilant, and it only remains
for them to sail in a howling gale under.
working canvass and housed topmosts, for
the American boat to win a still more do- '
cisive victory. '

Both Yachts Saluted.
All the excursion boats saluted the Vigi-
lant and also the Valkyrie as they steamed
past them coming to the city.
The next race will be Wednesday if a
slight accident to the Vigilant can be re-
paired in time. She sprung her bowsprit
while covering the first leg of the 30 mile
triangle. The damage to her bowsprit.
makes the American yacht-’3 victory the
more emphatic as she was forced to take in
her baby jibtopsail to avoid further trouble
from the tremendous tension. The next race
will be a beat to windward, 15 miles and
return. Should the Vigilant win again,
the America’s cup will remain here at least
another year, and the American centre-
boarder will still be the champion yacht of
the world.
\VhatDcsigner \Vatson Says.
George L. Watson, designer of the Val-
kyrie, said, when asked for his opinion of
the race: , 4
“They beat us and that’s all there is
about it, first and last." >
“Did you have any trouble 3"
“No. Everything was square.
ant outsailed us on every point.” - .
“Was the Vigilant’s success due to her
model as a centreboard, or to her quarter-
sail area?”
“I can’t say. Of course she carries more
sail. The Vigilant is a remarkable boat.”
“Would the Valkyrie do better in a
heavy, choppy sea!”
“I don’t know. Vigilant- outsailcd us
on every course and in every wind.”
