The action of the American Jockey Club In
suppressing bOokmaking on its course has been
eagerly welcomed by all true friends OF the
turf. There is every reason to hope that It's
decision will be accepted by other prominent
clubs and similar action taken. The book
makers have been tho worst enemies Of high
class racing in this country. Most Of them have
been law-breakers from their youth up, foes Of
good order, decency and honesty, and c0mbina-
tions among them to defraud owners and the
public have been frequent and notorious.
Whit else could be expected from dealers of
marked cards spinners Of roulette wheels,
handlers of bogus faro decks. graduates Of the
lowest groggerios, and the others who make

There are few fair dealing and Trustworthy
men controlling stands in the betting-ring at
our great racecourses, but they form an ex-
tremely small minority. aien whose lives have
bean devoted to infractions Of the law, whose
hands have always been against their fellow
men. who have been seeking from hoyhood to
eli their pockets by dishonest means, do not be-
come saints when they buy the privilege Of
making books on a racetrack. IL is they who
are responsible for the scandals and abuses of

defeat Of Raceland in a great stake last year.

serious In 1897 than in any previous year.
Racing had reached larger proportions than
ever before betting was heavier, the tempta-
lions to crime were greater, and these tempta-
tons were not resisted In many an important

the minds Of men in that carly period to which

Mr.. Smalley's second letter on Matthew

hts real personality than anything else perhaps
Of all that has been printed concerning HIM
since his untimely death. Some curious anec-

without honor, but may actually be unknown

Mr. Arnolds fame was wider than he himself

While the Methodists are holding their quad

centennial of the formation of the original Gen

the South, will come together for joint oele-

The danger in this case was clearly apparent
IL is when the subtle current makes no mani

None but the most patient Of people would per-

The sensation of the hour in London is Lord
salisbury's attack upon Lord Wolseley growing
out of the allegations recently made that Eng,
land is in bad way so far as her military ana
naval system is concerned Charges to the
same effect have been made heretofore, but the
subject has again been brought to public at
tention and to the attention Of Parliament by
sensational newspaper article, which based its
statements on what it termed the highest
military authority The Duke of Cambridge
denies that he is responsible for this article,
and the responsibility is accordingly thrown on
Lord Wolseley. 1t is believed that his reSig-

-4- uCr..4.n4...v agriculture has in
stituted an investigation into the condi-
ton of Western farmers, and somo start
ling facts have boen elected. 1t had
been known before that Western farms
were heavily encumbered, but the mag
nitude Of the obligation resting upon
them had never been suspected. 1t ap-
pears, from the investigation, that the
mortgages on the farms of ten Western
States aggregated $3,422, 100000, Ohio
leading the list with an aggregate of
$701 100000. In Michigan one half of
the farms are mortgaged, the aggregate
debt secured by mortgage being $3.50,
100000 A striking fact of the situatio. i
is that the annual net earnings on the
capital invested in farms in tho United
States is but 4 or per cent, while the
mortgages in question command from 7
to 8 per cent. The insurance companies
Of Hartford, Conn.,, own $40, 100000 OF
Western farm mortgages, and tho loan
companies Of Boston hold them to the
amount of $7G, 100000.

Our EleCtiOn SYRtoIn.

Strange as 1t may appear, MIR. Lin
coin was elected President against ma
jority of 4, 1876, ,G5S votes that were not
cast for him but for Breckenridge, Doug
las and Bell. breckenridge received more
votes than Lincoln who received 1866
332, whilst Breckenridge received 2, ,22O, =
92O. The whole popular vote cast was
6,052,O1 The total electoral vote was
BIB and Mr.. Lincoln received 180, which
placed him in the Presidential chair
against the votes of a large majority Of
tho people.
The same was true of Mr.. Tilden, who
had popular majority Of more than
$50, 600 over Hayes, though he had only
one majority in the Electoral College
and was defrauled out of that. Mr..
Cleveland had q majority over Blaine on
both the popular and electoral vote, but
it was very close election.
Some statistician has figured it out
that Presidential candidate might have
n majority of nearly million on this
year y probable vote, and yet be defeated
in the Electoral College, and as a matter
of fact seven of our Presidents have been
minority candidates as regards their
popular strength. This has led to re-
peated efforts to change the law 80 as to
provide for the election of the President
by the direct vote of all tie people, and
very careful measure designed to se-
cure this has recently been introduced
into the House.
The change would be wise one but
will no doubt meet the fate of other
attempts to amend the Constitution. IL
will fail, not for want Of merit, Dut be
cause of the rooted indisposition tc
change the organic law.-Florida Times
