The evening session of the Democratic National Convention yesterday was oc- cupled by the Michignn contest. The question was as to the title of four gold delegates from that State to seats in the convention. It was extremély im- portant, because under the unit rule, If the four gold delegates in question wore unseated, it would give the silver men 16 out of the 28 votes and thus throw the entire vote of Michigan into the silver column. 'The vote of Michi- gan undoubtedly gave the silver advo- cates the two-thirds necessary to nomi- nato theiv candidate. The silver lead- erg wore unywilling to trust their cause apparently to the regular elected dele- gates and after one of the most dra- matic contests in the history of politi- cal conventions threw out the Michigan gold delegates. 'This course seems to us most unwise. Even the 12 original silver delegates of Michigan protested against what they called highway rob- boery and voted to seat the gold mon. The fnmous Joseph EB. Salisbury of Delaware said he was elected as a sil- ' ver delegate, but thought the sifting : delegates from Michigan were entitled to their seats. Eleven of California's 18 silver delegates voted in favor of the gold men and eight of Indiana's silver delegation did the same thing. Two Kentucky delegates who are for silver protested against unseating the Michi- gan gold men by their votes. Gover- nor Flower cast New York's 72 votes in favor of the minovity report and in favor of the gold men of Michigan whose seats wére finally taken from them by a vote of 558 to 868. The silver then based their action on the claim. that the will of the Democrats of Michigan did notprevail in the state convention. 'They also stoutly main- tained that they' did not unseat the Michigan gold delegates in order to ob- tain a two-thirds majority, for they claimed they had that already, but be- ciuse the contention of the silver men was fust. Although unwise, we trust that a culm review of the facts in the case will puéve that no wrong was done by the course finally adopted. A bolt at this time seems extremely unwise 'wnd would very probably disrupt the party permanently. Even in the face of the most trying circumstances we ad- vise cautious and conservative action on the part of,the gold standard Demo- crats. ® THE ODDS TO GREAT. Yale rowed a plucky race against Leander at Henley yesterday and de- serves. great credit for the showing made. The first half of the race was extromely exciting when first the Eng- lshmen and then their American cous- ing were ahead. But the Yale crew wont against better oarsmen and were squarely defeated in one of-the pret- tiest rowing contests ever witnessed in Old England. 'The defeated crew were much disappointed but not discouraged and Immediately after the race ex- pressed a desire to try again next year. But it seems contrary to reason that a crew from any one university in Amerfea should hope to win against the picked veterans of all England. 'The under graduates, whose average age was 21 years had for opponents the cream of the oarsmen of all theEng- lish colleges and who had had from 5 to 10 years more experience and train- Ing on the water, Bob Cook realized all along that there was no chance for Yale to win and made no hesitation in saying so. He knew that the condi- tions were all against his men,... His verdict given in advance must have had the same effect upon the Yale crew as an announcement from a comman- der that he was sure his troops were golug to be beaten in battle. Cook saved his reputation as a judge of a university eight, but not as a winner of races. Interest in this country was not raiged to the highest pitch, for the rea- son that the Yale crew was so evident. ly emulating the heroic but hopeless ' charge of the Six Hundred. Let an American crew meet on even terms the representative English crew and then there will be no restraint in shouting for the home eight, For example the undergraduates afd alumni of Yale, Harvard Cornell, University of Penn- sylyania, aind Columbia could contribute a crew that would be representative of : the brawn and skill necessary in row- ing find thiut would give the picked Leanders u race for their money. Americans been Recustomed to win against England despite heavy odds, but they can't do it- every time. Hurrah for an All United States crew. l_. TOM PLATT HAS TOLD US. From the Niagara Falls Gazette: fhe Nlagara Falls Gazette remarks: \We regret to see thit Whitney is be- coming less a diplomat than a politic- lau.\ 'The Republican party is too full of diplomats fnd barren of statesmen. Their diplomacy | wearies the people very imuch,.-Lockport Union-§Sun. i \The result of the coming election will ; show which party the people is weary of; although we do not believe it is nee- ossnury for our esteemed contemporary to wait that long to find out. No, 'Tom Platt told us long ago that the people wore very tired of Hanna, sud his \unsafe\ cendidate. . If J. H. S. Wiborg had not been late Ac would not now be the late captain of the filibuster steamer Horsa. omen rma Tho farmers cven in the midst.of Senator Elisworth at the public meet- ing last night made a good point when he declared that Lockport should not continue to be dependent upon the State canal for its water supply and that it was high time to build the long talked of canal from Niagara would furnish an abundance of water for sanitary, fire and power purposes. But it is a sad and serious situation for the city, as the senator pointed out, that Lockport's water supply is en- tively at the mercy of the state officials. However this is not a question of mercy, but of justice and necessity. All fair minded men must agree with us that the matter of a $200,000 saving could never justify the state in depriv- ing a populous city of its sanitary and fire protection water supply. We can hardly agree with Senator Ellsworth when he said that the matter would. bet- ter have been left to an executive ses- sion of the Common Council at a meet- ing not of a public nature. The Com- mon Council represents the people, but this isa matter in which the people are most vitally interested and one of which they should be most thoroughly informed. 'The city's water supply is not a subject to be relegated to the ex- clusive counsels of the star chamber. The welfare of the city is at stake, and the state officials must be promptly impressed with the sentiment of the people of Lockport which strongly favors some plan of canal improvement whereby the city shall not be entirely deprived of its water supply. We are informed that there are three mills in this city, the Spalding , mill, now called the Chester mill, the Doug- lass mill, now the Thompson Milling Company, and the Franklin mills, which own between 100 and 200 horse power each in fee simple or free of rent. 'This came to them when the Hydrau- lie Race Company constructed their race, as the mills in question were us- ing water from a small stream that flowed through the gulf, and was ac- corded them by the Race Company in view of the absorption of their stream. That stream of water existed prior to the Erie canal. The Race company has a lease from the state for surplus water, subject to regulation by the state authorities. Through the claim of the three mills upon the race company, there is un- doubtedly a claim upon the state for a small amount of water at least. One fact should not be lost sight of in the discussion of this queéfion, and that is that the water rights sold by the state to the three mills above men- tioned and to Gov. Hunt and other gen- tlemen, who afterwards organized the present Hydraulic Race Company,from whom the city now gets its water, were practically rendered null for a period of over 12 years, excepting during the time of navigation, by the water being drawn off to permit of the enlargement which was not completed, we believe until late in the fifties. Prior to the be- ginnig of the improvement of that day Lockport it was expected by rea- son of its water power was destined to become one of thefieading manufactur- ing cities of the country. By reason of the water being drawn off as stated (hiring so many winters the milling and manufacturing interests suffered great loss and a serious blow was struck at the progress and prosperity of the city which is felt even to this day. In justice, therefore, and in part to right the wrongs inflicted upon the city by the state long years ago, by some practical plan, a sufficient quantity of water. should be allowed to remain in the canal during the improvements now again planned.

Now the bicycle has offered to the great majority of citizens a means of athletic exercise and open-air enjoy- ment for which they need not be spec- ially equipped by nature. Man and woman, weak and strong, dwarf and three hundred pounder-all sorts and conditions of men-can ind do learn to wheel, and with comparatively small perseverence become as proficient for all practical purposes as the most handsomely endowed athelet of them all. This is the true secret of the bi- cycle's firm hold on the public, and here is its greatest value.-From \About the World,\ in the July Scribner's. + CEREMONY OF RECEIVING AMBASSADOR. 'The ceremony observed in receiving a minister is briefly this: On a day ap- pointed by the President the new min- ister drives with his secretaries and at- taches to the State Department, and is thence escorted by the Secretary of State to the Executive Mansion and conducted to the Blue Room. 'The see- retary then goes to the Presiden's of- fice and advises him that the minister is in waiting. The President, on the AN * arm of the secretary, then proceeds to the Blue Room, and, the minister and his suite, standing, the secretary intro- duces the minister, who, after bowing, proceeds to read his address, and at the proper time hands to the President his letters of credence, which are im- mediately passed to the Secretary of State. When the address of the minis- ter has been read the President reads his reply, and after a few moments spent in entirely informal conversat- tion retires with the secretary, who re- turning conducts the minister from the Executive Mansion.-Ex--President harvest wish It would stop threatening earnest,. , ( I nals, Harrison in July Ladies' Home Jour- Mew a GIVE US JUSTICE, NOT POLFLIOCS.: | BURNS' LOVE FOR HIS WIFE A SAD WASTE OP POPULAR SYM- PATHYX FOR MARY.\ I \Burns has ~been hotly assailed.\ ° nd writes Aruthur Warren in presenting river which \The Other Side of Robert Burns\ in July Ladies' Home Journal. \because. of his alleged indifference to his wife ; (Jean Armour), but the fact is he was t ardently fond of her. Jean 'was true to i him, and his true affection never really turned from her. Jean worshipped him -literally worshipped him. And when we study her devoted life we must agree that there must have been much that was admirable in the character of 'a man who was adored by so true a woman. Burns' biographers have paid too scanty attention to all this. 'There is no use in apologizing for the defects : of Bobbie's life, but there is such a thing as insisting too heavily upon them. * * Too much has been made in the thousand stories of Burn's life of the Highland Mary' episode, and too little of what he reallly felt for Jean Armour, and of Jean's intense loyalty to him. The real facts about Highland Mary will never be known. They com- prise the one episode of Burns' life which is veiled in mystery. But one, can study the poet's life closely enough to see that the persecution which in the carly days seemed to hopelessly separ- ate him from love drove him to High- land Mary for solace, and that Mary's sudden death idealized that Highland lassie in his memory. There was not much more to it, and Jean never troub- led herself about it. There has been a sad waste of popular sympathy over Highland Mary. It is to loyal Jedn our thoughts should turn. Burn's love for her and for his children was very great. That is a pleasing picture of him handed down by one who saw him 'sitting in the summer evening at his door with his little daughter in his arms, dangling her and singing to her, and trying to elict her mental faculties.' The little girl died in the autumn of 1795, when her father's health was fail- ing.\ ; A } PRIMARY EDUCATION BETTER ABROAD THAN IN AMERICA,. One cannot have had any experience of the instruction of European boys and girls without being conscious of the radical contrast between the spirit of the elementary school room abroad and in this country. 'There is among the little people abroard a peculiar soft of appreciation of which among Ameri- can children you will find not the smallest trace. It is not a question of industry. 'The juvenile American is as willing to learn and as quick about it as any other. It is a matter of mental attitude. 'The schoolroom where Eu- ropean children acquire the rudiments of education is, in some unanalyzable way a quieter, remoter spot; one more shut off from: thet distractions that cote from without; and, notably, more serioups. - Learning may look to the youthful minds within those walls to be a dull thing, but it is certain, with- out their being aware of it, tos ccem a dignified thing,. And the routine has a repose that graudally acts upon the ju- venile scholar until-it shapes him to this application-to a mood of patient attentiveness and a sort of ruminating receptivity, that, so far as ultimate fruitfulness is concerned, may, in every instance, be safely preferred to all the precocious personal \brightness\ and \alertness\ in the world.-From \The Point of View,\ in the July Scribner's.
