 Fridays race between the Vigi- lant and the Valkyrie was the closest of the series, the former beating her rival by only forty sec onds.
 Our territorial democratic ex- changes are again agitating the subject as to which particular one is entitled to the honor of being the truest to democracy.
 What a fity that congress does not have a member like the dis tinguished statesman of Vulture. He would fx the price of silver on gold basis and then turn it loose.
 The Worlds Fair, the greatest the world has ever seen will close in few days. It is safe to predict that century, at least, will elapse before it will see its equal.
 If some of the men running | around with plans for reforming the l financial system of the country would go to work and earn a living for themselves they would deserve and receive more recognition.
 A telegram in our contemporary says that the Tucker bill for the re- peal of the federal election laws was voted on without being amend ed by either party. The vote stood 200 against, forI0l.

The ! deportation however only extends to San Francisco, as the deportation machine seems to slip an eccentric when it reac hes there. The Phenix Gazette is already . preparing its readers for the No o vember news from Ohio's election n as 1t says: "The election of McKin- f. ley in Ohio will mean only that the f have come out and voted.

 The anti-repeal senators have a U decided advantage in the go-as-you- t' Dlease-keep-it-up-day and night c ace now in progress ill the senate. All that is necessary for them is to 1T leep one or two members there to b lold the floor, while the others sleep. bl n order to maintain a quorum, the W ePealites are compelled to be there au n full force.
