ATHLETIC SPORTS.
Racing ON Foot and Wheel and Other
Amusements.

Racing ON Foot and wheel and Other
Amusements.
The athletic sports at the Ball park yes
terday were not so largely patronized as the
large programme might have been, but no
doubt the second day. which starts at
o'clock this afternoon, will have q good
crowd of patrons of genuine athletics, as
those who attended yesterday were highly
pleased with the way the entire programme
was carried out, not one event being
sighted.
The bicycle races are being run on the
new board track. and the time made shows
it to be a fast one-six laps to the mile.
When Starter Bell called the first raca, the
five mile professional, w. F. Knapp, Dem
yer, and Senator Morgan, now of Seat
tie, answered ready, and were sent away
by report of pistol. The race all through
was fast. both men going in turns in the
lead. Knapp winning after hot finish in
exactly is minutes. the finish mile being
made in 2:4S
The I00-yard foot race had the ballplayer
Dextraze, Andrews. Seattle painter, who
is an oid-time Eastern sprinter, and Bald
win. OF Port Townsend, as starters. Dex-
TRACE was left on the mark when the pistol
heat in IL seconds. Mike Lucie, the
starter, once more sent them of, Andrews
winning by several yards, Baldwin stum-
bling. Time, liz seconds.
The mile amateur county bicycle champ
ionship was won cleverly by Rush Nc
Cargar. son of the real estate dealer, G. G.
Bell, of Olympia, second, FL. Cannon third.
Time, 3:12. Bell went in this race on a
strange and entirely new wheel, and did
not do justice to his reputation as state
champion of Kansas and Minnesota, but
young McCargar is a most promising rider.
The quarter mile foot race was won by
Andrews in one minute, Baldwin second.
The wrestling match, mixed styles, best
two in three falls, was won by Young
Whistler, who took the first fall, Gr@co-
Roman, in six minutes, and the third, side
hold, in three minutes.
The mile professional bicycle handicap
was won by Miss Jessie Cakes, with a
sixth of mile start, by 100 yards, Knapp
second, Morgan third. Time, 2:49
Miss Cora Balfour, the Seattle lady
bicyciist, rode a half mile against time in
las. and will compete in a one mile
handicap race against Miss Oaks today.
Rush McGargar won the half mile safety
bicycle race, c. G. Bell second. Time, l "a

PUNCHING PORTER.

When Supt. PORTER plunged into
Frank Leslie's vii a defense of his
bad work in census taking he imagined
that he had squared himself with the
country by asserting that a partisan
census was an impossibility. He ought
not to have been so reckless in proyok-
ing controversy. The unsoundness of
his argument has been made apparent
by Chairman FoULKE, of the Civil
Service league executive committee,
who rounds up Mr.. PORTER in beautiful
style. In an open letter addressed to
the census superintendent Mr.. FoULKE
says:
You say that a partisan census is an impos
sibiiiiy. If this is so, why did you recon-
mend to the president that this census be-
taken By enumerators appointed upon the

THECoMING AUToCRAT.

In the face of all the assertions and
denials concerning JAY GoULD's SUI
premacy over the Union Pacific railway,
the public is yet in doubt as to what
sort of hand the Wall street magnate
has been playing. But there has been
enough developed to show that Mr..
GOULD is as much of master in rail-
way affairs as he is in financial matters.
If there is any reason why he should
want to control the Union Pacific man.
agement, it may be ct down as rea-
sonable certainty that he either has or
will have control of that great trans
continental line.
Everything indicates that Mr.. GOULD
is already the owner of the Union Pa
cific, which, In connection with his other
lines, places him at the head of the
most formidable railway combination
in the world. 1t has been given out that
Mr.. GoULD's motive for securing con-
troll of the Union Pacific was to put an
end to cut-rate wars in the West. and
to establish the railway system of this
section on more settled basis. The
motive is praiseworthy one, provided
that such is Mr.. GoULD's motive. West
ern railroad interests have suffered by
too active competition. The business
interests of the country have been dis
turbed by the frequency of these cut
rate wars. In this sense, at least, MI.
GOULD appears in the role of a public
benefactor when he utilities his great
fortune to adjust our railway interests.
DIT Mr. 1oC
fore appeared in the role of a philan-
thropist, and has never been suspected
of unselfishneSs, the public will be in
clined to believe that he has some ute
rior object in view. If he is now the
owner of the Union Pacific, in addition
to the system he has all along controlled,
he becomes in fact as we'll as in name
the railway king of America. 1t is the
beginning of the end of his absolute
domination OF American railways. Less
than ten years hence he will have full
control of the entire railway system of
| the continent, just as he is now the
autocrat of the telegraph service.
1t isn't a very good thing in a repub-
1 lie to have one man the supreme mas
ter of the nations industrial concerns.
It's very serious menace to republi-
Can institutions to have one man pos
sessed Of more power than the govern
ment itself. Ii Mr.. GOULD succeeds in
] electing Mr.. BLAINE to the presidency
| he will have the comfortable assurance
that the power of the federal govern
ment will not be exerted to put check
! on his vaulting ambition. With BLAINE
for president. the next thing to follow
in the logical order of events will be
| Corr d for dictator.

recemme ndation of Republican congress
men and other influential party menY Why
did you refuse to adopt the system by which
appointments in your bureau should be non
partisan, made upon competition among
those seeking appointment without regard
to their political Affiliations The civil
service commission desired that the merit
system should be applied TO your office. but
you resisted this just and reasonable demand,
and insisted upon retaining the patronage OF
this vast bureau with its 10000 subordi-
mates, and this patronage you parceled out
among politicians
Again, Mr.. FoULKE rubs 1t into the
lightweight head of the census bureau
in the following paragraph:
You say that 10 one has been able to ascer-
tain whether the discrepancies in the New
York count are due to careless omissions in
June OF intentional additions in October. Is
ii not your duty to ascertain whether dis
crepancy of 20n, 900 is due to the careless
omissions of your agents? Do you expect
the people to believe in the accuracy of your
census when you admit that 1t is possible
that 200, 600 names have been left out by the
careless omissions OF your own euumerators?
But why do you speak of these additions as
intentional" and of the omissions of your
own bureau as simply 'caroiesss' You say
that partisan census is an imPossiDility. Ii
this be true, how could the enumeration taken
by the police in New York have been parti-
san? If you suspect that, why should not
others suspect the census? Is party bias
which influences men elsewhere, wholly alb
sent in the census bureau? Is 1t not sure 10 be
reflected, in the enumeration which you have
taken. in the the same manner that you be-
ieye it to be reflected in the enumeration
taken by the New York authorities?
In conclusion Mr.. FoULKE says he is
as much of a Republican as PORTER,
and voted for the success of the party in
1888. But, for all that, he is constrained
to admit that the pledge made in the
Republican platform fayoring civil
service reform has been violated by the
HARRISON administration, and notably
SO in the matter of census taking. He
expresses the opinion that no party can
long remain III power when it suffers
the promises in its own platform to be
diScredited.

PLANS PROPOSED.

There are two methods of making the
congressional apportionment being
pressed by those who insist that the Re-
publicans shall attend to this before the
Democrats come flooding into congress.
One of these has been referred to as
providing for the formation of the dis
tricts by the agency of mixed partisan
or nOn-partiSan boards, not allowing
the state Legislatures any part. The
other method is advocated by so con-
spicuons an organ as the Philadelphia
Press, and will naturally impress the
bourbons and desperate partisans of
the REED order. This is to provide in
an act of congress for the formation of
every congressional district iu the Unit
ed States. The idea will be that these will
stand during the decade, and can be so
lngehiousiy constructed as to give the
Republicans control for the ten years.
Before the election it was quite possible
that the caucus and party control might
have carried such measure through,
but most OF the members will come back
limp in the back politically, but a good
deal wiser than when they closed the
ibco oVooioHs 1lCf uou IHtdu W iu~
wife further retributions. Then they
will look over the country and remem-
Der that, out of the twenty-five Northern
states that are divided into congress
sional districts, twenty were arranged by
the Republicans in order to secure the
election of as many of that party as pos
sible. The only ones districted by the
Democrats are Ohio and Indiana. Per-
hapS it may be a harsh term to use
after election to say these were
gerrymanders, but Republicans apply
that designation to the two states fixed
up by the Democrats, and they were
arranged very much as the Republican
plan was understood. But the lesson
OF the recent election is that such sort
of dams will not stop Johnstown flood.
A few examples will show. Massa-
chuSetts was districted to elect one
Democrat and eleven Republicans. and
a day OF two before the election CABOT
LODGE had the faulty to predict that
result. 1t, however, elected z Dem
ocrat to Republicans. New York was
to have IL Democrats. but it takes %:
New: Jersey raises its to 5; Illinois
SwellS the 6 to IA in the Democratic
column; Michigan and Wisconsin ele-
vate their 2 to Z; Iowa was to hayesl
Democrat and 10 Republicans. but Z out
of the IL are opposed to the Republi-
cans. So in other states. The political
hog is generally knocked away in time.
