The Geneseo lrotting and running meet
ing closed yesterday, after four days of
good sport, The pa and 2:40 trots and
novelty running race for one and ones
fourth miles were on the card for vester-
day. The most interest was centered on
the 2:4O race, as there were seven entries
and the horses pretty evenly matched.
There was quite Rock Island contingent
on hand to see Silver King trot. and be
was strong favorite before the start.
Although he made Il good showing and
developed some fine bursts of speed. he
failed to get place in the race Billy
MCGregOr won first money in this race,
and in the 2:24 trOt Earl McGregor won.
The running race was captured by Loup
1t was great week for Geneseo, and it
Will take several days for tue inhabitants
to settle down to their usual recreation

The procession was over mile long. 1t

there were probably about two Thousand

three years hence. Until very few

On Saturday July 21st, 1861, twenty
seven years ago day after tomorrow, the
most important battle of the war for the
Union was fought, the battle Of Bull
Run. The defeat of McDowell's army
settled the question that we were to
have long contest for the preservation
of the Union. Had the North been vic.
torious over the South then, there would
have been no further fighting, as only a
minority in several of the Southern
States were in favor of secession. Vir-
ginia had, only a little more than a
month previous. voted by over so, 900
majority to stay in the Union. Jeffer-
son Davis himself, so he said in one of
his messages, did not expect war. He
supposed as did the Southern leaders
generally, that the North would Yield
with only show of force on the part OF
the South. Had the South been defeated
therefore at Bull Run, the contest would
have ended there, for the secessionists
could not have rallied the people of that
section to their support. A compromise
would then have been entered into with
the South, by which most probably
slavery would have been retained but
with its powers largely curtailed, and
provision for its final abolition mosI
likely established. Speculation, how
ever, is useless. All we can fairly as
sumo, is that with defeat at Bull Ruu
twenty seven years ago, the South could
not have continued the war, Hence the
battle Of Bull Run is to be regarded al
the most important of the more than two
thousand battles Of the war for The
| Union.

A HORSE ON A TIGHT ROPE.

In the great Forepaugh show which il
coming here Tuesday, Aug. "a, Adam
Forepaugh, Jr., introduces at every per
Torrance the wonderful horse "Blonr
din, that he has trained to traverse g
rope stretched nifty feet above the hip
podrome track.
While the show was at Suspension
Bridge, q rope was stretched across the
falls of Niagara, and the horse was ready
to cross on this rope, when Mr.. Bergh
secretary of the Society for the Proven
of Cruelty to Animals, prevented the
exhibition from taking place. ...
That Blondin would have successfully
accomplished the journey over the
seething cataract, no one who has wit
messed his performance in the circus can
doubt.
Six months training was required Ia
insure the successful accomplishment oil
this wonderful act.
In walking the rope, a soft rubber
shoe takes the place of the ordinary one,
1t has a slight groove in the center.
A specially designed net is suspended
beneath the rope; occasionally Blondln
slips, and when he does he always re-
mains perfectly quiet in the net until it
is lowered to the ground. When it is
remembered that is directly against Il g
nature Of the equine species to mount
high places. Rl0ndn's performance OF
crossing a rope fifty feet from the
ground, may Justly be claimed the most
remarkable exhibition u equine intelli-
gence ever displayed. . ...-
All our exchanges from places where
Forepaugh has exhibited concur in pro-
claiming that this act alone is worth
the price Of an admission ticket TO the
entire combination of circus, hippo
drome, mPnagerie and all.

Horace X. Thurber of New York city,
formerly the head of a great firm OF
wholesale grocers, and devoted ad-
herent of Cleveland four years ago, has
come out for Harrison and Morton.
Mr.. Thurber had been an active Demo
crat since 1872, but he says now that he
is "too much of an American to support
Mr.. Cleveland or any other believer in
free trade. Free trade IS very pretty
theory for professional men to talk
about, but it doesn't put clothes on the
backs Of workingman's wife and chill
dren, and it doesn't furnish them with
bread and meat" Mr.. Thurber thinks
that we are in the midst ofs political
revolution and believes that Cleveland
will be buried as deep as Van Buren,
was in 1910.

REPUTATION OF A GROSS ERROR

Our free trade contemporary is very
solictous on two points The Farmers
market and the wages paid working
men IN various states, and asks, How
is this ?" basing his assumptions upon
Henry j. Phlp)tt's Tariff Chats" In
reply to the first we say the increasing
expectations from the United States to
other countries is proof that protection
ultimately does not result in higher, but
rather in lower prices to the consumer,
Protection will not effect impossible
ties. The relative prices OF wheat and
corn in Chicago and Liverpool must
show as a rule a difference equivalent
to the cost of transportation and dealers
profits or commissions,
Mr.. Philpott's Examinations about the
American people paying ian average OF
at least 100000, 000a year for at least
twenty years for a home market" is
blank nonsense. The American stand
ard of living and the enormous exporta-
tions as given by Mr.. Philpott brand his
statement as false and malicious.
In regard to the relative labor cost
and daily wages in Germany, England
and America, 1t has been repeatedly
shown that the difference consisted
principally,if not entirely, in the quality
of material and kind OF machinery used.
An American weaver at the English
or German looms with the English or
German yarn would not excel the
weavers of those countries tn the num-
Der of yards produced.per day.
The statement that difference OF 10
per cent. in the pay of wooden mill oper-
atives exists between Ohio and Connec.
tcut, and So per cent in the pay OF cot
ton mill operatives between North Caro-
lima and New Jersey is not true in fact.
Should such difference actually exist
there would be an immediate exodus
from Ohio and North Carolina to Con
necticut and New Jersey. There are
many reasons why wages vary within
the United States, and 3 considerable
permanent variation exists in many To-
calities, by reason Of specific causes. but
not to the actual extent of 10 to SO per
cent. Tariff for protection makes wages
higher in the United States than in
Germany, and tariff for protection has
already made wages higher in Germany.
