FLEETWOOD PARK, Sept. 29.-The
great trot for $4,000, between the eel
ebrated Jay Eye See and St. Julien,
caused the largest concourse of people
to assemble on the track that has ever
been seen on any race track in Amerl-
ca in two years. At 2:45 o'clock in
the afternoon there was scarcely avail
able space left on the grand stands.
The race was won by Jay Eye See, in
2:201l time. The decision gives gen.
eral satisfaction.

THE New York Times thinks
that the surplus in the Federal treas

THE way to stop oyerproduction is
to confine labor. as far as possible, to
industries, the products of which can
be sold in all markets. and in which
we can rival the cheapness of pro-
duction in other countries. What can
be bought abroad for a less price than
it can be made at home it is a stupidi-
ty to make. AS soon as our own linn
tied market is supplied, under favor
of a protective tariff, labor is brought
to standstill, overproduction results,
and financial distress follows. 1t is a
mistake, when the whole world might
he opened to our commerce, to neglect
the forms of production in which we
stand unrivaled, in order to compete
with other countries in industries in
which they excel US.

The Kelley motor which, it was
said, would be made to demonstrate
it's powers about the LIST of September,
still stands undemonstrated. The
faith of a man who proposes to run a
train of cars and pierce mountain
range by the disorganization of the
atoms in q thimbleful of water is
something to be admired, but poor
excuse for a financial investment.
That, at least, Is the way we would
regard it were THE STATESMAN de-
pending upon a fortune cut OF Kelley
motor shares.

THE refusal of the convention OF
colored men, in session at Louisville,
to indorse the administration of Pres
ident Arthur, or to promise to support
the Republican party, is Indicative OF
a strong current of practical good
sence. 1t is noticeable that the oppo-
sition to thus committing the colored
race to the political fortunes of that
party came from the South. And il
may be that the negroes see the pro-
priety of adhering closely to the peo
pie among whom they live.

WASHINGTON gossip would lead to
the belief that Messrs. Arthur and
Lincoln have arranged little affair
between them, bearing on the presi-
dency. Mr.. Arthur, it is said, regards
Logan as his strongest competitor,
and has gone into partnership with
Lincoln with the hope that Lincoln
will be able to control the Illinois del
egation in the nominating convention,
If Arthur cannot get the nomination
he wants to be able to say that he die
tated the nomination, and that he
thinks he will be able to say if Lin
coin be nominated.

IT is stated that Postmaster-GeI-
eral Gresham will, in his forthcoming
report to congress, strongly recon-
mend the establishment of postal
savings bank system, similar to that
of England. The system necessarily
involves the borrowing of money
from the people by the government,
for the money deposited in postal saw
ings banks goes into the federal
treasury. The government becomes
responsible for it, and pays interest
upon it. 1t is easy to see how such a
system can be maintained as long as
there is a federal debt outstanding,
But after the debt shall have been
paid off why should the government
borrow money even at small rate of
interest, for which it has no use?

After the st. Louis Gamblers.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 29.-The grand jury
of the criminal court have made "a
report in which they state that ring
exists in the city, formed by gamblers
and lottery men and notorious 1nd1-
viduals, who have used money and
threats to corrupt the police officials;
also, that some of the police commits
sioners had given blank designations
which were used by the ring. 1t is
further declared that the governor
has the power, and it his duty, to in
vestigate the matter. Two indict-
ments were re: urned against Warren
F. McCasney, a conspicuous member
of the alleged ring, one for bribery
and one for forgery.

A CONTEMPORARY calls attention to
the fact that the religious press leaves
no opportunity alone to rail against
fashion in female dress. These dia-
tribes mean nothing, since, as was
shown in a religious convention in
Austin a short time ago, the ladies OF
the church, the wives of ministers
and religious writers and advo-
Gates, vie with each other to
see who can be the most fashiona-
bly, dressed. The pessamists would
make us believe that beauty una
dorned is adorned the most. THE
STATESMAN agrees entirely with a
contemporary who contends that it is
the solemn duty of every woman to
make herself as attractive as she posi-
bly, can with the means at her command
There should be something comely to
the eye in the dress of all women,
for certainly they were made for man
to admire. ComelineSs in face, form,
manners and dress, combining with
purity of character, make women
loVeaDle, ana IL Is In the power OF al
most any woman to make herself ap-
pear under this combination. We do
not want to see any woman dressed
now as were those spoken of in the
third chapter of Isaiah, nor do we de-
sire l. see any number of them
arraycd like unto the Queen
of Sheebl; but We would see beauty
adorned as best it cdn afford to adorn
itself. If you do not believe that the
pesSimists are simply writing against
space, go to the churches to-day, and
under the eyes of not less than TWEEN
ty ministers in this city you will see
the best dressed women in Texas.
They worship God in beauty, and the
good men who preach to them would
be displeased were they to come
otherwise than in attractive apparel.

THERE has been Il heavy exodus Of
sheep from California and New Next
co to Texas. 1t is said that by the re-
cent selling and driving of large num-

Mexico paper deprecates the change of
sheep for cattle, claiming that the
change is detrimental to the business
interest of the country.

the impression is that newspaper
war has begun, and that those papers
which have the most money and the
best management will drive the others
out of the field. 1t is pretty certain
that the Tribune, il it continues to

down to two cents, and it may be that

from Maine to California for more of

people were turned over by the Re
