RACES AND POOL SELLING.
Illinois Legislature Upset by Il
New Bill.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, July 25.-Rep-
resentative Kilcourse, of Chicago.
caused a sensation today by introduce
ing in the house, under the head of
revenue, a race track and pool SELL
ing bill. The bill is for an act taxing
owners of racing enclosures, and per-
mltt1ng and regulating pool selling
and wagering on horse races run
therein. AS soon as the title was read
a score of members We're on their feet
demanding recognition. Miller, of
Chicago, got the floor and moved that
1t be the sense of the house that the
bill does not come within the scope OF
Gov. Altgeld's proclamation, and that
therefore it lie upon the table Speak.
ing upon this question, Miller made
a scathinS speech, denouncing the bill
as an outrageous piece of subterfuge
chlcanery and fraud. The bill pro
V1des that race track officers shall pay
into the treasury of the county ii
which the track is located per cent
OF the gross receipts. 1t prohibits SELL
ing of pools on outside races and proc
V1des that races shall be held only be-
tween May and November, and not
to exceed sixty days on each track. A
motion to table the bill was lost, 81
to 90. Mccarthy introduced a bill tax
ing base ball games and prohibiting
games on Sunday.

GETTING AT THE FACTS.

The papers which have been in
sisting that the wheat crop of the
Northwest was uninjured in quality
and would equal in quantity the
banner year of our history are be-
ginning to acknowledge the facts
which the Clio b e has presented
and insisted upon from the first.
The province of the news columns
of newspaper being to ascertain
the exact truth and state it without
regard to consequences, we have
spared no effort to learn the exact
condition of the wheat fields through
out the Northwest from day to day.
Reliable reports have shown,
as might have been expected, that
considerable injury has been done
locally. Still the crop, unless there
is phenomenally bad weather with
in the next two weeks, will be a
splendid one, though it is not going
to break the record. Those who saw
fit to rush to the extreme of op-
timiSm a few weeks ago have cut
down their figures by fifteen or twen-
ty million bushels. It appears to
be now settled that the crop will be
simply above the average. The
damage that has occurred by reason
of smut and of the lodging of the
grain cannot be fully measured I'M
til later.
The market, however, has re-
sponded instantly to the correct pre-
sentiment of the situation as made
by the Glob e. The sharp ad-
vance in wheat on Wednesday was
due to the receipt of reliable infor-
nation as to the probable yield of
the Northwest. This also reaffirms
what we said day or two ago of
the impregnable position of the
Northwestern farmer. He is the
chief factor this year in the mar
ket situation. Whatever falling off
there may be in the product of his
fields will be met or more than
compensated by a betterment of
prices. The first rise in the price
of wheat was partially speculative,
following the general boom of all
commodities with the revival of
trade. The reaction from the top
price which followed this was ex-
cessive. Wheat afterward began to
recover, and the price is now ris-
ing again in conformity with re-
ports received from the wheat fields
Advice to the farmer either to sell
quickly or to hold for higher prices
is useless and almost impertinent.
A large proportion of our farmers
are governed by their necessities in
the marketing Of their grain. They
order to meet obligations. The
great bulk Of the crop is therefore
hurried to market as quickly as
possible. This is generally good
policy. Whatever else may happen
10 the farmer, there is no poorer oc-
cupation for him than to put up
his only resource as a practical mar
gin in a grain speculation 1t may
be said, however, that there is no
reasonable prospect of any further
decline in the wheat market. The in
dications are that the price will rise
considerably above what it is now.
The crop Of the Northwest is a big
one, Notwithstanding such injury as
IS has suffered, and it is going to be
sold ut price that ought to make

disposed to retaliate, as it is the
