Tt !s unfortunate that American success At Henley should be clouded by the least suggestior of a protest, and especially as there is practically no ground for the claim of the Englishmen that Ten Eyck, the young aquatic wonder who took the dia- mond sculls, 1s a professional. Ten Eyck comes of a family of professional oars- men. His grandfather, now a boatman on the Hudson at Peekskill, won seventy-five races in his time, and defeated some of America’s besc oarsmen. His father is an acknowledged professional to this day, though seldom rowing In a race now. He holds the half-mile record and is at pres- ent trainer of the Worcester Rowing Club. Young Ten Eyck, who ts not yet eighteen, is a member of the Wachusetts Rowing Club, rival to the Worcesters, attends college in Worcester, has never rowed for money and has in fact never rowed a race under the least semblance of professional ecnditicns. It is probab‘e that he will event- ually follow the course of his father and grandfather and become a professional, for here is promise that he will some day be- yme, If he is not already, the fastest scul- fer in the world. But as the case now stands he must be rated as an American collegian, entitled to all the consideration given to amateurs. There is a belief that the suggestion of his professionalism came, from English sources, but from a rival Worcester oarsman. It was flatly dis- proved before Ten Eyck went to England to try for the diamond sculls, the greatest honer for which any boatman can com- pete. The Henley regatta this year was nota- bte both for the splendid rowing and for the number of Americans in the. entries. ‘The champion fcur-oared crew of America, the Winnipegs, were in the race for the steward’s cup until the fourth heat, when they succumbed to New College, in record time. The early performances of Dr. Mc- Dowell of Chicago, who proved a great favorite, warranted the belief that he would be either winner of the diamond sculls or else a close second. He was defeated by Blackstaffe, Ten Eyck’s competitor in the tinals, In a magnificent race that estab- lished a new record for the distance. Taken all in all, America has reason to be proud of her achievements this year at Henley. —__ ++ —___ Trying It on the Dog. It is the ccmmcn experience of the na- ticnal capital that ezch session of Con- ss brings with it a crop of “new ideas” menicipal government, usually from the west, and almost invariably proposed in these latter days by followers of populism. These legislators, coming “fresh frem the people,” are strongly imbued with the no- tion that there is a much better way to manage the District than that now in vogue, and the calendars of the House and Senate are annually filled with these pro- ts for the inevitable betterment of man- in general and Washingtonians in articular. As a rule the Washingtonians do not care to be “bettered” according to the populistic recipe. They are well con- tent with their mode of government, and are satisfied when the District committees the two houses permit these great schemes to gather dust in the files. Representative Lewis of Washington h hitherto had bis hands pretty full with hi ot job of instructing Speaker Reed how to run the House. He has been very busy. He bas had to denounce Mr. Reed sever: times a month ever since March 15, and this duty has given him little opportunity to turn his attention to the national capital. 3ut now that he has eased his mind he is free at last to perform the inevitable feat -tirg a new and improved pian for trict government. Yesterday he dis- ed that the taxes here are levied on old plan in vogue in the states and pretty generally approved by officials and people alike throughout the couutry. ‘Tris was his chance and there now ap- pears in print a project to apply the cele- brated “single tax” plan to the District of Columbia. it is confessedly an experiment. ‘The preamble acknowledges that there is elsewhere an indisposition to try it and sets forih that the District—presumably be- cause it has no voice in the matter—will be a first-class testing ground. In other words, Mr. Lewis ts merely at the old and familiar game, played session after session by his fellow populists, of trying their tricks on the District dog. ef projec Di cov: +202 The Victory of the House. It now seems settled that the House con- ferees have won their fight for the reten- tion of the House sugar schedule in the tariff bill, Details of the agreement re- ported to have been reached are lacking but it appears to be accepted that the Sen- aturs in conference have surrendered and that with perhaps a few verbal amend- ments the schedule will stand as it ovig- tnally passed the House. This Is gratifying rews. It is to be hoped that these few ver- bal charges contain no such surprises as Were discovered in the substitute schedule adopted by the Senate. It is impossible, however, to concelve of any other result than the victory of the House in this case, for the matter had gone to the point where Mt was either a surrender by the Senate or suicide by the republican party. ——___+ +2 _____ It is difficult to see why the coal opera- ters should not be able to combine as effvctually to secure peace as they can to hold up prices. Sa pee Mr, McLaurin Under Fire. A few days ago The Star referred to those democratic Senators who, after secur- ing concessions for the interests of their states in the tariff bill, voted against, or were paired agaist, the measure as a whole when it came up en final passage. Mr. McLaurin of South Carolina was of the number. He assisted in securing a tax on raw cotton, good rates on rice and products in which South Carolina is interested, and then paired against the bill as a whole. Mr. Tillman executed a similar maneuver, while Messrs. Bacon and Clay of Georgia, who also had secured favors for their state, voted outright against the measure they had helped thus to construct. Mr. McLaurin ts a candidate for re- election, and this point has become an issue in the campaign. According to the Gispatches, at a public speaking at Barn- Well on Tuesday, “Gov. Ellerbee said McLaurin was a re- publican im principle and should go to that homies that the republicans were using McLaurin as a tool and when they gave him concessions received tenfold robberics in return, Senator McLaurin retorted that ss high a standard of statesmanship as he vanted was to look out for the best inter- ©-ts of his people, and that if he sold out tc the republicans so did ‘Tillman and Eccon and Clay and others.” Gov. Ellerbee’s statement of the case ‘as incorrect. The republicans received ucthing whatever from Mr. McLaurin. The ot stance, received material recognition at the hands of the republicans. That Mr. McLaurin, in voting protection for those things in which his state is interested, committed himself to the principle of pro- tection is true, and that he would now “ppear in a better light had he paired ‘n favor of the whole bill, which he desired to become, and knew would become, a law, is also true. Mr. McLaurin’s rejoinder likewise shows an Incorrect statement of the record. What does he consider “looking out for the best interests of his people?” Pairing against a bill which carried benefits to his people? Simply voting those benefits into the bill would have been of no avail if the bill itself had afterwards failed to pass the Senate. And In the credit of the passage of the bill Mr. McLaurin does not share at all. The bill was passed by the repub- licans, with Mr. McLaurin paired against it. To the republicans therefore belongs the credit of “looking out for the best interests” of the people of South Carolina. Mr. McLaurin abandoned those “best in- tercsts” when the time for vital action arrived. He lacked the full courage of his convictiors, and if the attacks on him at heme now should become effective it will be because of that fact. As The Star on Saturday stated, Mr. McEnery of Loutsiana was the only South- ern democrat who having asked for pro- tection for his state, rose to the full occa- sion by voting for the bill carrying the benefits conferred. In Union is Strength. Accepted upon its face, the nomination of a sound money democratic candidate for clerk of the Court of Appeals would appear to insure Kentucky to the republicans again this year. But an examination of the situa- tion shows difficulties which must be ad- justed before safe calculations of that kind may be made. It Is true that fusion with the silver democrats has been rejected by the populists, and it is also true that the normal democratic vote will be reduced so much by this defection of the gold demo- crats. That would seem to give the repub- licans their chance. But the republicans are by no means in good shape. The divi- sions growing out of the senatorial contest are still unhealed, and with their leaders at war the rank and file may not be ex- pected to warm up to the work of organi- zation to the degree necessary to win a stoutly contested struggle. A fusion of sound money forces 1s recom- mended. The authors of the suggestion are of opinion that that would strengthen, by unifying, the whole sound money endeavor. A common purpose, under a common lead- ership, would, they think, be attended with far better results than an attack by divi- sions could be. The suggestion is under ad- visement. The republicans are to meet in state convention next month, when the matter will probably be settled one way or the other. The terms proposed are that the republicans shall accept the sound money democratic candidate for clerk, while the sound money democratic tickets, state and legislative, are to go on the ballot under the accepted republican device. It would be an excellent thing If there could be a union of sound money effort in the states of New York, Ohio, Iowa, Ken- tucky and Maryland this year. And why can there not be? Why should there not be the same fight made this year that there was last? The same issue is involved. The silver men are employing last year's shib- boleth. So far as they are concerned, this year’s fight is merely a continuation of last year's fight. They are not in as good form this year as last, but they are going into battle for all that they are worth. If they should lose again in the five states named it would be a severe blow to them, the ef- fect of which would be felt next year as well. On the other hand, if they should win, insuring the return of a trimmer like Mr. Gorman to, and the retirement of Mr. Hanna from, the Senate, there would be no disguising the fact of a substantial victory tor the silver cause. ——_ seo A Useless Office. The Commissioners now have in hand the task of selecting a successor to Coroner Hammett, whose term is about to expire. It is unfortunate that the statutes do not vest them with sufficient discretion to carry out their often expressed desire either to abolish this office or to so amend its func- tions and nature as to make it worthy of respect. The post of coroner is today an absurdity. The frequent inquests over dead bodies held under the mandate of the iaw are travesties on justice. It is safe to assert that in not more than one case out of a hundred is there the slightest reason for these affairs, for they do not afford any information of value to the courts, nur do they aid the police in the least in discover- ing the source of crimes. If there be a coroner at all he should be a lawyer and not a physician. The function is one that calls essentially for a legal mind, one that can discriminate between the various phases of criminal cases. If medical infor- mation be needed it can be had for the esking. The police force is already well equipped with an efficient corps of surgeons whose testimony as to the results of autopsies in all fatal cases would be ample. In some states the office Is abolished alto- gether and the courts designate a medical adviser to the prosecuting attorney. In- stead of following the old-fashioned steps of preliminary police inquiry, “crowner’s quest,” grand jury investigation and final trial the cases are handed as directly as possible to the prosecuting officer, to be turned by him when he sees fit over to the grand jury for that formal indictment which must form the basis of a trial. Enough experience has now been had by these progressive communities to establisa the new system beyond any possibility of a return to the absurdities of inquests and the District should be enabled by law as soon as possible to profit by the successful experiments elsewhere. —_++e—____ It seems strangely impatient of Andree to venture on his polar trip with an old- fashioned balloon when so many inventors are protesting that a first-class, comfort- able flying machine will be available in a comparatively short time. ———++e—____ Vacation Schools. New York's “vacation schocis” were re- opened Monday for the fourth season and the expectation is that the record of attend- ance will be broken this year. In 1804 there were three such schools with a total attendance of 28,000 and the cost of the work was 11% cents per pupil a day. In 18u5 three more schools were added, the attendance went up to 98,880, the cost per pupil was reduced to 5.6 cents a day, and last year, with the same number of schools, the total attendance was 101,000, and the cost 4.9 cents. In the last two years thousands of children have been refused admission for lack of room. This year ten schools are to be opened and it is thought that even with the increase in facilities there will be some children refused admis- si The purpose of these vacat’on schools is to furnish occupation as well as educa- tion to the thousands of children who would otherwise run the streets in summer. The closing of their regular schools gives them unaccustomed opportunities for mis- chief, and it has been found that many of these youngsters fall in the summer months into criminal ways that years of subse- quent reforming can not cure. The streets are filed with boys and girls of all ages, naturally precocious in picking up the smart ways of a large city, and the teach- ers in the regular schools have found that buildings being readily loaned by the city officials, who saw in this charity an admir- able supplement to their own endeavors. In these schools manual training plays an important part and reports so far made show that practical results have already been accomplished. The older girls are taught sewing, cutting and dress-making ard the boys are instructed in carpentry, clay modelling, designing, mechanical draw- ing and composition. For the little ones kindergarten methods are employed. Exer- cises for relaxation supplement the studies and so popular have these institutions be- cme with the children of the poor that the Struggle for acceptance in former years when the quarters were limited has beea described as really pathetic. Self-govern- ment clubs are formed among the pupils to teach the principles of law, order and self- restraint. The schools continue for six weeks each season. They might well be copied in many other American cities, wkere the summer brings many griefs to parents because of the limitless opportuni- ties for the children to find mischief in their desire to utilize their holiday freedom to the utmost. ———++e____ Air Motors Rejected. Corimissioner Black's able and compre- hensive report on the alr motors which is reproduced elsewhere in today’s issue, 13s written in such an evident spirit of fair- ness and scientific appreciation of all the attendant conditicns tiat no demurrer can possibly rest agairst it. It forms the basis of action by the Commissioners denying the requisite permission to equip the Eck- ington and Belt roads with compressed air und if the law as it stands is allowed to take its course these roads will be required to equip with an underground electric sys- tem such as that now in successful opera- tion In this city. The Commissioners are to be commended for the manner in which they have apprcached this very difficult problem, and for the care which they have exercised to give the roads in question the benefit of all doubts consistent with the public needs and the respect due to the law, Cemmissicner Black credits the air motors with many excellent points but shows that they can not In their prese: stage of development form a flexible, con- sistent and really practicable system sult- able for such conditions as those that ex- ist cn the roads that have been exveri- menting with them. No further delay should be granted to these corporations, which ar2 now bound to accept the alte! native and do business on a basis of sin- cerity and fairness. —+ 2. __ It is to be hoped that the discovery of gold in Alaska will not give rise to any effort toward moving the Canadian bound- ary line over toward Bering sea. ——— Thorn, the New York murderer, is per- fectly willing to sacrifice his reputation for truth and veracity for the sake of casting doubt on his confession. —-++____ W.

Easily Explained. “Do you mean to tell me that you have found a large rumber of men who are will- ing to put all they possess into a common stock, and share alike?” “Certainly,” replied the socialist. “Why net?

Oh, tell us not, lest it may mar The pride of their position, That lofty sugar prices are The heights of their ambition! An Objection. “There, ‘aid the voluminous contributor, “are some gems of thought.” “Yes,” replied the editor, as he reached for his blue pencil, “but they're uncut gems.” “Opporchunities,” said Uncle Eben, “4s pretty sho’ ter come ter ebry man. But it’s a mighty good idee, jes’ de same, foh him ter hustle roun’ an’ send out a few invita- ticns.”* Extremely Sensitive, “What was that?” exclaimed Senator Serghum sharply as he wheeled around in his cheir. “I said it was too sweet for any use!” replied his youngest daughter. “May I ask you to be explicit “Why, I was speaking of my new gown.” “Oh! Iam glad to have your explanation. I feared, for an instant, that you might be indulging in one of these disrespectful flings at the United States Senate.” A Small Matter.

From the New York Tribune. Queen Lil is uncertain just how much longer she will stay in the city. She took a ride in the afternoon, and still does a lit- tle desultory sightseeing and shopping.

What is the matter with the Ameri stroke? It carried Cornell's colors to ‘the fore against the pupils of England's ™most famous coach, and young Ten Eyck’s bril- liant capture of the Diamond Sculls at Henley, to say nothing of the excellent showing of McDowell and Howell, will tend to strengthen the conviction that “it's all right!” ———-e+___ Must Change the Nuisance.

That announcement comes here and from a reliable source. The statement causes no great surprise in Co- lumbus and is what has been expected for some time. The real reason for this getting out is not known, though undoubtedly the op- Position developed against him in his own party as well as the refusal of support by the populists, influenced his course. ——_+-2___ Blood in the Old Man Yet.
