A Camnairn of Facts.

We have had campaigns of education;
we have had campains Of mere enthusi-
asm; we have had campaigns of persona
magnetism; we have had campaigns i'm
which we fought the war over again: we
have had so many different styles of
campaigns that it is hard to get any
thing new; but in Ohio this fall the
campaign is one of facts VS. fancy, of
things done VS.. theory 1t is easy
enough for the Democratic orators with
fine-spun theories to promise that free
trade will accomplish the impossible:
that free silver will make every man
have an unlimited bank account But
the Republican fights the campaign with
no mere theory. He rests on facts

Democratio Record IN ohio.

Under Hoadly the Democrats of Ohio
increased the expenditures of the State
$3.50, 900 above that OF the former Re-
publican administration, which Hoadly
had declared was extravagant beyond all
reason and honesty. But the Indictment
against Campbelps incapacity will be
even stronger. His administration has
increased the public expenditure, ac-
cording to the Auditors report, to 49,,
700, 900, while the tax levy provides for
less than $4,000, 600 q year, and for
which all sorts of miscellaneous receipts,
added to the tax levy. produce total
income of not more than $3, 400. 900. In
stead OF provision for sudden emergen-
Giles Campbell's administration has left
the State $500, 900 In debt. This is
worse than the Hoadly administration,
and Is q half million more than was ex-
pended by the administration of Gov.
Foraker, when In addition to the regu-
lar drafts on the treasury, the Repub-
licans established the Soldiers Home at
Sandusky. The Auditor of Ohio ex-
presses 1T rs his conviction that the
State OF Ohio Is $3.50, 900 poorer to- day
than she would have been had Gov.
Campbell and the Democratic Legisla-
tnre been defeated two years ago.
The Governor some time ago claimed
that the Democratic Legislature had app
propriated $4,000 to @proyide farmers
with results or agricultural experi-
ments. But when the farmers of Ohio
came to Investigate this statement the
sum dwindled down to 81. 600, and that

a Free Trade Indorsement.

Among all the newspapers of the
United States none is more intensely
free trade and anti-protection than tho
Springfield Mass. Republican. 1t long
ago severed It's connection with the Re-
publican party on that ground. But In
an editorial on the tobacco crop of the
Connecticut valley and the prices the
farmers are getting, 1t makes an argu-
ment for protection which is complete
in itself as an argument In REPUTATION OF
Its pet ideas on political economy.
The market price for the new crop is
81 per cent in advance OF last year and
35 In advance of two years ago. lit is
estimated that the cigar leaf crop OF the
entire United States will command to-
tai of Sc, 200, 900, instead of SIS, 600, 900

Tariff Pictures.

David A. Wells the well-known free trader,
asserts that the tariff Is responsible for i'm
mense importations of foreign shoddy, rags and
waste, which are made into workingmen g
clothing. Another case of free trade theory
versus protection fact. Our importations OF
rags, shoddy and waste for nine months last
year, before the Mckinley tariff took effect,
were 3,554,603 pounds.
For the corresponding nine months under the
Mckinley tariff they were only
572,712 pounds.

OAKLAND RACES.
Only C0rp0ral's Guard of Dead.
Heads Present.
Very Bad Starting and Worse Riding Offered
for One Dollar-A Sure Way to
Kill Legitimate Sport.

The Oakland Jockey Club finally arrived
at an accurate knowledge of their judgment
yesterday, and concluding that the Breeders
meeting at the Bay District Track carried
too many guns for them. decided to defer
their closing date of tomorrow. to next
Wednesday, with an extra day thrown in on
Friday.
The meeting has been most miserably
managed, and the veriest tyro in running
racing could have given the judges and the
so-called managers" aces, cards and
spades and then won in galop. How So
called Judges" could see races run the way
they were and yet take no action, surFasses
ordinary comprehension.
Yesterday, one race was virtually decided
by most ridiculous start, another was
chucked away by very glaring bungllng IN
riding, another by carefully covered up D. st
stiff animal winning IN romp, and still
another by an attack OF the slows.
Had there been another judge of the same
caliber as Thomas B. berry in the stand
yesterday the track would have been Uttered
with ruled-Gff- for-life jockeys, owners and
horses.
Space would be wasted on a summary of
the days programme. All that is needed IS

Il would have been hard to pick out the

others we're sent to the reducing works,
where their oil and hides are worth more

sharp race in her, it is about time that the
pubic, whose money keeps the game alive,
should turn the cold shoulder on topsey-

The estimation of the quality of the racing
was evidenced By the attendance. Only
the regular eorporaPs guard OF sure-thing
people, pea-shell game cappers and others
OF the same ilk were present. and the legitl-
mat gate receipts could hardly have paid
the cost of preparing the track. Under such
conditions the pOOi-b0X was the only thing
to be raced for-and it was.

FISH COMMISSION.
Reports From the Superintendents of
Katcheries.

heports FROM Tie Superlntenuents OF
Katcheries.
At meeting of the Fish Commission held
yesterday interesting reports were read
from J. A. Richardson and f. w. Hunt in
charge of the hatcheries at Sissons and
Tahoe, respectively.
The former reported that he had received
100000 salmon eggs, and that all are in
good condition. At the United States
Hatchery, at Sissons, 10000 eggs had been
taken from thirty-One female fish, making
total of 100000 eggs taken this year. The
average per fish this year of eggs is very
high, being 45i6 against an average of 4o12
for the previous year.
A scattering of salmon is now running in
Shasta River. and large numbers are re-
ported as having been seen in the Klamath
The latter are noticed to differ greatly from
those found in the Sacramento in that they
are fully matured before leaving the ocean,
while the Sacramento salmon remain for
weeks in the river before maturing. For
this reas on a longer close season is recon-
meuded.
Pitt River is swarming with carp, and as
they are almost unfit for food and destroy
the spawn OF edible fish, the commission
has refused to furnish any more. The same
applies tn catfish. The commission is how
in correspondence with the New York com

CHINESE SCHOOL RENT.

The Principal of the School Makes an
Explanation.
Miss Rose Thayer, principal of the Chinese
school, makes the following statement in re-
lation to the matter of renting the school
room to Chinese;
81 was authorized to rent one room in my
school to several Chinese merchants for
their use, after the close of my school at 3
O'CLOCK every afternoon, they to have the use
OF the room for the purpose of teaching the
Chinese classics to my pupils; they to pay
the department therefor the sum of Sis per
month; they TO put in the gas fixtures and
to pay the gas bills They took possession
on the afternoon of August 18th, and have
since occupied it afternoons and evenings.
Leong Nom, Chinese merchant of 9l7 Du-
pont street. is the Treasurer of the fund
for the maintenance of the school. He has
repeatedly rendered me the money in pay
ment of the rent. Not being advised as to
the dispos tion of the rent / requested
him o retain it till / was advised to
whom TO pay it. On the 9th inst Mr..
Leong Nom brought me $50 in payment of
two months rent to October 18th, for which
/ receipted to him and Immediately took TO
the board rooms and rendered 10 the Secre-
tary. He declined to receive it, saying he
had not been advised of the renting of the
room. On the 9TH 1 again called on him
with my authority for renting the room,
and left the money $3.50 with the Secretary.
Any seeming DELAY in the payment of the
rent by the tenants must be attributed only
to their not being advised TO whom to pay

formed Of his authority to receive i"
