The Men Getting Ready.

In whatever way the present difficulty
regarding the Madison Square Garden may
be settled, it is certain that the people of
of seeing a race which will far excel any
previous event in the annals Of pedestrian
ism. Whether the Ashley or the O'Leary
men get possession of the track it is clear
that Rowell's record here last spring will be
greatly exceeded. If he prove to be the
he will have to do a good deal more than
five hundred miles this time to win, and the
next man will not be twenty-five miles
behind at the finish, as Ennis was. There
never was such material gathered for one
Of these contests as is to-day in this city.
Weston and the BLOWER" whose records
have never been approached, are both on
hand while Rowell. who showed such re-
serve power when he last won that he
seems to-day to have almost as strong
chance of winning as any, is already in
active training and running off the spare
pounds rapidly. Hazael, too, is on the way,
and his work in England makes him far
from q stern man, even with those great
antagonists; while Ennis starting o day
or two early this time to get his stomach
wound up, little Panchot, who beat Ennis
best record, and the Yuma Indian, the dark
horse from the Pacific slope who is said to
have covered three hundred miles in two
days. make up bill promising rich sport,
which is likely to keep the Garden densely
filled from Monday morning till Saturday
night. If O'Leary can get his differences
adjusted in time to start with these famous
travellers, and can bring on his Boston dark
horse too, nothing will be wanting to insure
nearer six hundred miles than five hundred
being done in those trying 142 hours.

Pool Selling on Race Courses.

Two persons were arrested at Brighton
Beach the other day for selling pools on o
race course, in violation of the law Of the
State. They gave bail, were discharged,
and that, we suppose, is the last that will
be heard of the case. The moral OF the
story is that the law does not prevent the
act it forbids. These men did sell pools in
spite of the law, as hundreds and thousands
of men do all over the State, and they not
only did sell them but they will sell them
again. In fact, the law against pool selling
might properly be classed with that branch
of the labors of our Legislature entitled,
claws of the State having special reference
to New York city" It is practically against
the sale of pools in this city. and against
proper restrictions and guarantees for
honesty, but is 30 enforced" as to
permit this game in other places. and in
the hands of people who do not object to
practise all sorts of ruses and underhand
devices to get around the law. At Saratoga
and almost everywhere else in the State
pools are sold with impunity, and just out
side the city pools are sold on races that
occur in the city under the auspices of the
Jockey Club, but such pools cannot be sold
in the city. These facts do great injustice
to that organization OF honorable men. Pool
selling is like great many other phases Of
financial venture, and may be conducted
fairly and honorably or in quite other
ways, and the difference between this game
fairly conducted or otherwise is as great as
possible. But the popular taste will in
dulge itself in excitements of this nature
and pools will be sold. Facts seem suffi-
ciently to indicate that the Legislature can
not prevent it. Why should it not then
take all the evil out of practices which it
cannot stop? This it can do. BY a proper
regulation of this practice it will be per-
mitted to the Jockey Club, which will guar
antee the public against abuses; and the
mere fact that the venture is thus brought
into daylight will strip it of the evils that
tend to surround it when it is driven into
holes and corners

with that matter-under the constitution !?
Nothing at all. The constitution nowhere
gives a Presidential candidate the au-
thority to take possession of the Of
flee if he shall imagine himself
dent in possession has any other duty to
perform than to hand over the Office at the
appointed time to his successor, declared
by Congress.
1t will not do for the republican leaders
to be talking this kind of nonsense. If
they mean what they are saying then the
only safe thing for the people to do next
year is to sweep them from power
by an overwhelming vote, because
evidently their too long posses
sion Of power has put dangerous
and unconstitutional ideas in their heads.
If they are only talking for bunkum
then they had better take care lest the
voters, jealous of liberty and peace. and
justly resenting such hints of usurpation,
take them to be in earnest and visit upon
them the popular wrath.
When the party in power begins to talk
about needing q general, so that he may
put himself in office and that he may 'keep
down" anybody, that means that they are
considering unconstitutional and extra con-
stitutional methods, which no free people
will or ought to tolerate.

THE WEATHER.-The meteorological condi-
tions east of the Mississippi River have changed
but little since yesterday. The atmos pheric
pressure continues to be above the average in
the South Atlantic States, and the centre of
highest barometer is in the Mississippi Valley.
The pressure has diminished in the Middle and
New England States. The storm centre i'm
the far West has, predicted in yesterdays
HERALD, moved very rapidly to the northeast
and will pass north of the upper lake region
into British Columbia The temperature has
risen very rapidly in Dakota and Manitoba. and
very hot weather is experienced in all sections
to the northwest of the lower lakes. II has re-
manned almost stationary in the central val
leys, and slight fall took place in the Gulf
States as well as in New England.
The weather has been clear and fair
throughout the country, and no rain has
fallen, with the exception of that precipitatcd
during local thunder storms In the lake regions.
The Western area of low pressure in its move
nent to the northeast was attended by little
moisture but high winds. They were brisk in
the lower lake region and moderate elsewhere
The weather in New York and it's vicinity to-day
will be fair and warmer. Tomorrow it will be

CAPTAIN WILLIAM II. PLACE, who spent ff-
teen years in the capacity of public carrier
over the old Vanderbilt route across Nicaragua,
speaks in glowing terms of the projected canal
across that country. According to the Captains
statement-and he should be familiar with the
subject-there is water communication mt pres
ent from the Gulf Of Mexico to within five
miles of the Pacific Ocean. The work of MAX
ing a canal over this short span, he says, pre-
sents no intricate engineering problems, and
labor is plenty ON the Pacific coast.
