THE NEW YORK CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE ON THE SHERMAN LAW,

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
The New York chamber of commerce
is composed of some of The most promi-
nent and successful merchants, bankers,
lawyers and wealthy business men of
New York city. There are several hun
dred men belonging to the organization
and they frequently hold meetings to
discuss public questions and pass reso-
sutions on important public issues, A
special meeting of this association was
held at its rooms, on July 6, for the pur-
pose, as stated in the call:
''Of giving public expression to the
opinions of business men AS 10 the RENE
dies 10 be applied for the restoration of
confidence in place of the present dis
turbed condition Of the finances of the
country, which the call declares was
brought about primarily by the enforced
purchases OF useless silver bullion and the
consequent distrust of the ability of the
government 20 preserve the gold standard -
At this meeting the following resolu-
tIonS were passed, only three members
OF the association voting against them

MILLIONS FOR THE TROTTER.
Marvellous Improvement in the Industry
Recognized by the Daily Press.
From Clark's Horse Review.

From Clarll's Horse Review,
The system of light harness racing in
vogue in this country is purely an
American institution. The present
generation has witnessed a remarkable
advancement in the development of
speed. A yearling has trotted full
mile faster than any aged horse had
ever been able to cover the distance be-
fore Flora Temple appeared. A two
year-old has made faster record than
any matured trotter had gone up to the
time of Maud S.
The extent of light harness racing in
this country is not appreciated, even by
the most interested, i'll its full signifi-
canoe. In 1892 no less than 1884 race
meetings were held, and the amount of
money given in purses for trottsrs and
PAGERS aggregated over $40, 4S4, 9QS. The
racing season is confined to about six
months, and during the height of the
season there is no question that over
half million dollars are paid out each
week to the owners of the winning
horses.
The industry has the credit of being
represented by a score of turf Journals
which rank among the highest type of
class publications. The daily press,
however. usually the first to cater to the
public taste, has sigually failed to give
the trotting meetings the attention
they deserved, either through lack of
facilities to handle the matter properly,
or the inability to appreciate the magui-
tude and Importance the industry has
acquired.
The best reports and most complete
that appeared in any of the large daily
papers last year were probably found in
the Inter Ocean, but they were far from
containing the information that horse
men, breeders and the public interested
III this peculiarly American sport de-
manded.
The Inter Ocean is the first of the
large dailies to give proper attention tc
the above class of news. 1t has secured
as trotting editor Mr.. Don u. Donnan.
formerly eastern representative of
Clark's Horse Review, and late
associate editor of Western Re-
sources, both distlnctively trotting
horse journals. Mr.. Donnan has a
national acquaintance with breeders and
trainers, having visited the leading stock
farms from Main to California, and his
familiarity with lines of breeding and
turf matters viii establish the Inter
Ocean as thoroughly reliable authority
upon trotting matters.
Those interested in the light harness
horse, other features being equal, should
throw their influence in with the Inter
Ocean, that the management of that
paper may have evidence that there is
power back of the industry that is wsll
deserving of recognition,

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.
Necessity of Putting 1t Under Nationa
Supervision.

Supervision.
| Some of Us admire. others wonder at,
( the courage and placidity with which
/ England faces threatened invasion of
cholera. This is because she is ready
/ To encounter it, not only with intel
/ ligent sanitation well under control all
over the land. but because she meets it
as unit, and not as we are still forced
to do, in haphazard fashion. as the
resources and the sanitary intelligence
OF single state may decree, or rs the
whim of an autocratic officer may die
tate.
A great central bureau of health. in
which administration, instruction, re-
search and record in matters concern
ing the public health should center,
and to which in stress local authorities
could turn for help and counsel-a de-
partment which, representing the
sanitary and hygienic interest of
this great nation, could make COM
mon cause with similar departments
long since established in other lands
against the ravages of disease-such a
bureau of health is urgently needed in
the United States to-day, and should
soon be csta blished. Such a bureau
might well be organized in the treas
ury department, and consist primarily
of an executive board of trained sani-
tarians under a competent head,
which, in cooperation with the ma
rine hospital service. and, if desra BILE,
with the medical services of the army
and navy. should perform all those far
reaching functions in the interest of
the national health which the federal
government alone could safely and ef-
feetiyely assume. An advisory board
composed of physicians and sanitarians
of experience and established repute,
from different sections of the country,
selected by the president and confirmed
by the senate, should be called in coun-
Gil by the executive force Of the bureau.
IN deciding upon the general scope and
nature OF the work to be done at all
times, and be ready to advise and sus-
tain them in times of special danger.
No agency could so certainly avert
panic and commercial disaster in the
face of threatened pestilence, and none
so surely stay its progress The eco
monte interests alone which are in
volved in more widespread prevention
of disease, and in the prolongation of
the average term Of life. should effect
lively commend the establishment OF
such bureau of health at the nations
capital.
1t is surely thus, and TINS only. that
this country can justify its claim 10
stand among the nations of the earth
which are foremost in advancing the
welfare of mankind So. and so only.
can it fulfill its mission. long since de-
clared, to secure for its citizens, one and
all, life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. IT. Mitchell Prs1dden, in

The second came forward and
claimed it, saying he had not worked for

That there is nothing in name was
demonstrated by the declaration Of Col
orado's governor before the Denver con-
vention Tuesday. The Waite-ing policy
he should have adopted would precipi-
tate a conflict of force in short order.
But that is only the other extreme from
the arbitrary policy the gold bugs would
inaugurate, neither of which is likely to
prevail in the final settlement of the
vexed question. Talk about wading
through blood up to horses bridle-bits
is the sheerest poppy-cock and does no
good. There is good deal of bluff
employed all around just now, but the
pot Is too big to be given up without
showdown, and this has been called
for by the great conservative mass of
American citizens who will not tolerate
anything but straight game.
