silver In the Next Congress.

Matthew Marshall, of New York citv.
writes in The Sun something about the
composition of the Fifty-third congress
as to the silver question. He says:
A possible effect Of the failure of the Brus-
sells conference to recommend any other than
alliative measures for the benefit OF silver

for the restoration of the free and unlimited
coinage of the metal, and its consequent sub

overwhelmingly against the measure that 1t Is
difficult for us to conceive of its adoption and

speaking the twenty-six agricultural and min

manning eighteen states viii have i02 members,
part of whom may be counted on to do the
same.

We are told that in some parts of this
great country the inhabitants regard a
swallowtail coat as such badge of
offensive plutocracy that If any man
wore one of an evening in their neigh
borhood they would wish to shoot him
on the spot. A man might own race
horse that cost s25, COO or even u private
car. but neither would arouse the indig-
nation i'll their sonls that the sight of a
gentleman III evening dress wonld.
They are quito right. There is some
thing inherently diaLolical aud not to
be tolerated in Tie swallowtail coat. 1t
is an engine in tie hands Of the pluto
c:ats 10 cypress The toiing and inoiling
masses. 1t IS true the wearer of this
sign Of total deprayity may toll and moil
for his living as hard as anybody, say
ten hours !, day mt least. longer if he is
IA newspaper man. When evening comes
and he would go to Lis best girl or to a
dancing purity, where people appear in
their best clothes, with fright and emil
ing faces, he. too, would liae TO put on
his best clothes and brightest face. He
wishes to dof the old garments that sug-
gest toll and soil, to get rid of their at
mosphere for n few bright hours.
He has bought that swalowtail suit
with his hard earned and skimp ii
money. 1t cost rs much ps any other,
and thus he gave work to the toiling
breadwinners who cut. fitted and sewed
it. But he wrongs his fellow citizens by
wearing it. 1t is the kind of suit that
our grandfathers wore by day in con-
ssress and ous. Daniel Webster appeared
in that fashion daytime and evening to
his dying day. So did the venerable
Hannibal Halnlin. vice president. senator,
foreign minister and pure patriot.
Neither one of these distinguished genIle-
men ever had thought that he was
doing anything sinful or depressing the
masses in thus wearing coat that had
the front of the skirts cut away.
But they were wrong-wildly wrong.
The standing of the swallowtail as an
instrument Ct oppression has been f lilly
established in our more enligh ened
times. 1t is true that in cleanly Dire ;sed
and refined society the world over it has
been recognized as n convenient evening
dress for men and one that has the ad-
ditionai advantage of showing off the
graceful manly form with good effect.
But now that its diabolical character is
fully recognized doubtless every Amer
lean patriot will throw off the accursed
toggery and don it nevermore.
Go to parties in your working clothes.
and the more worn and unpleasant they
are the better. 1t is proved that a man
cannot be honest or patriot if he wears
the regulation evening suit. Down with

FAIRFIELD RACES.
Good Races at Opening Of the
June Meeting.
The Maine Medical Association at
Portland -Biddeford Strike.
The Frisnds q PsstiaAl.

FAIRFIELD, June i4.-fSpecial. To
day was = perfect day for the horsetrot and
over 1000 people were st the races at the
Fairfield Driving Park. Mr.. Yates had the
track in fine coniiution as the fast time
made this afternoon will show. The crowd
was perfectly orderly and one thing notice
able Was the entire absence of fakirs and
gambling places, which usually congregate
at all such public gatherings when allowed
to do so. The Watervilie military band
discoursed fine music for the entertainment
of the crowd during the whole perform
ance.
The judges were Isaiah Pompilly, Lew
iston; f. J. Lawrence, Fairfield, and Maj.
+. w. Haskell. Waterville. Timers Geo.
A. Alden, Watervill; Z. J. Lawrence and
F. w. Haskell. Isaiah Pompiily acted As
starter.
At little after 2 the 2.3I class was
called out. There were four starters.
Dotty d, drew the pole, but made bad
showing and finished the tailender. Be
tween the others the last half was close and
full of excitement. 1t required five heats
to decide this race, the third of which was
won by Lady Nelson, by Nelson, in %
l-2, putting another of this great horses
get below 2 80. When called for the sec
ond heat Westbrook appeared so lame that
his driver requested leave to withdraw. In
the next heat Dotty ID. was shut out, but
the other three fought il out for all they
were worth.
The three-minute class had six starters.
but early in the race George II. showed
himself to be the winner and though the
other horses worked hard for second place
there were no especial features.
The 2.39 class was by far the most ex-
citing race of the day. With only four
starters two to trot and two to pace they
scored down and received a splendid send
off. Away they welt in a bunch all the
way round, but Gould Boy came under the
wire first. In the second heat the leaders
were set back for continued breaks, giving
the heat to Holden. In the third heat they
went away with noses straight in line but
by breaking Gould Boy was left far
in the rear with good prospect Of being
distaneed. Near the three-quarters pole,
however he showed phenomenal burst of
speed, and closing up the gap. paced past
the field and won the race. cheered on by
the whole crowd. Around the turn for a
few rods the horse must have been pacing
at near a 20 clip.
The following are the summaries:
