quality, the Memphis dogs easily out

hour, during which time neither dog did
any work Of a good character The heat
was decided in favor OF Lebanon.

setter, Kings Mark, were the next dogs

but Kings Mark had the best Of ii and
won.
The Memphis crack Ollie was then

Both dogs showed excellent pace and style
and behaved well on game, but the Mem

next race. Upton did some fairly good
work, but he was trife unsteady on
game. Cassie also did good work, both in
the open and cover, and had the thing
well in hand won. Cinch and Lord
Graphic did great deal OF work during
the middle Of the day without finding
game. They finally found coyey on
which Cinch had the best of II and won.
This ended the first series.
In the second series Ollie S beat
Lebanon after short race. Then Kings
mark was given the heat against Cassie,

REPEAL OF THE COMMERCE. LAW.
Judge Cooley says There Is No Danger
OF Such an Action.

- 1890 - @hShARAs
CnlcAoo, ILL.,, Dec. l2.-Judge Cooley,
chairman Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission was shown n dispatch from
Washington regarding tho bill introduced
by Congressman Morse in the House Of
Representatives. Monday. providing for
the repeal Of the Interstate Commerce
law. The Judge said he did not think
there is the least danger that either the
long or short haul clause, the pooling
provisions or any other portion OF the law
will be repealed 1t is his opinion, as well
rs that Of all other members Of the com.
mission. that the law is an excellent one
and fully meets the expectation Of is pro-
jcciors. The commission not only iayors
the retention Of every provision Of
the law as Il stands, but desires that IL
should be made stronger. Tho failure 10
strictly enforce the law is due TO de-
termined opposition on the part of some
railroad interest and the inability Of the
commission TO procure the proper eyi.
dcnce 10 convict the parties guilty Of H.
violation. In resisting the law and refusing
10 carry Il out, the railroads rctard the
progress and prosperity Of the country.
As regards the claim which has been made
that Il had decreased the value Of stocks
and bonds, with no compcnsating benefit
70 the public, Judge Cooley said il has had
just the opposite effect IL Il rapidly
bringing stocks and bonds down 10 their
true value. Most oi these securities were
yet far above their intrinsic value, and
not until they come down 10 their proper
level could tho country or the people
prusupr.

TRUTH IND TNTR 9TH,

Just in time to contrast with Mr.. Waiter
sons manly frankncss on the tariff question
comes Governor Hills speech in which he said,
If the st. Louis platform was for free trade, he
would not stand on it. The Governor has
never made any reputation as an honest man in
his public career, and it is natural that he re-
sorts to deception in his first speech Of the
campaign.
Another Democrat unintentonaly utters
great truth, in declaring that the st. Louis
platform is no more for free trade than the Re-
publican platform Of 1850 was for abolition.
Not any more-and every Democrat who SUP
ported Douglas or Breckenridge in 1860 de-
clared the Republican an abolition party, and
its platform an abolition platform. They
quoted with zest the profound remark of Mr..
Lincoln, that the Republican party meant TO
place slavery where the public mind would
rest in the certainty Of its ultimate extnction.n
That is exactly what the Democrats mean to do
with the protective policy. They do not propose
TO abolish it, by no means. They only intend
to cripple and destroy it, part by part so that
the public mind shall rest in the certainty of
its ultimate extinction" Moreover, the public
mind will have the best Of reasons for expect
