The last session of the New York leg
islature was busy one-it engrafted on
the statute books of the state 1908 more
laws than were there year since. The
oretically every citizen is supposed to
know the law of his state. Ignorance of
law is not an acceptable excuse in cases
of it's innocent violation. 1t is certain,
however, that not 10 per cent of the citi-
zens of New York have an intelligent
idea of 10 per cent of the new statutory
commands. Fully one-half of the new
laws are related to and must be con-
strued in connection with previous en-
actments. The character and scope of
the latter are thus changed, and people
living within their jurisdiction will have
to unlearn vast deal. There are too
many laws, not only in New York, but in
nearly every other state, and in for
eign countries as we'll; the world is
governed too much.

California is to be again honored by
the selection of her most distinguished
son, Senator Stephen NJ. White, to pre-
side as permanent chairman over the
deliberations of the national Democratic
convention, the committee on perma-
nent organization having decided TO
nominate him for that position. No bet
ter selection from both a practical and
political point of view could be made
than that of Senator White. His mental
and physical equipment eminently fit
him for the trying and exceptional duties
of the place. His experience as a pre-
siding officer has been considerable and
highly successful. AS temporary chair
man of the convention which nominated
Mr.. Cleveland the second time he dem
onstrated his ability to equal the emer-
gencies presented by such vast gather
ings. AS political move his designa-
tion cannot be amiss. The substantial
recognition of California in the distrbu-
tion of Democratic convention honors
certainly will not lose the party on the
Pacific coast any votes.

In SO far as the prospects of the lead
ing candidates are concerned, the situa-
tion at Chicago seems unchanged Bland
and Boies are still at the front with the
former somewhat ahead, but still long
way short of even majority of the con-
vention. Judged by the outcome in cor
responding cases in other conventions,
Bland does not hold a very strong posi-
tion. 1t is apparent that the Iowa man
is in the fight to the finish, and that the
delegates originally for him will, with
trifling exception, stay steadfastly by
him. If Bland obtained the remainder
of the silver strength in the convention
he would not have enough to nominate
him. unless some of the gold contingent
could also be persuaded to support him.

JOHN R. GENTRY
PAGES Another Phenomenal Mile Un-
der UnfaVOrable Conditions.

Philadelphia, Pa, October 2S.-John
r. Gentry, the king Of the PAGERS, at
the Belmont track to-day again DEM
onstrated his superiority in the world
of horses by covering a mile in 2:O342.
This was done in the face OF adverse
circumstances, being late in the after
noon when a strong east wind was
blowing full down the stretch. While
failing to excel his record of 2:OO12,
Gentry succeeded in breaking his last
attempt at the record in Terre Haute,
October 90. when he went mile in
2:O41b. Previous TO his effort OF TINS
trial. w. J. Andrews, of Buffalo, his
driver. gave him three warming up
miles. The first was done in 2:344,
the second in 2:1712, and the third IN
2.1O In all these the animal showed
I'D in splendid form and much was eX-
pected of him.
When the moment came the crowd IN
its eagerness swarmed the track and
breathlessly watched the horse as he
flew by at the judges signal at a most
thrilling pace. AT the quarter the
Judges announced his time as 3OA, and
the pent-up enthusiasm gave way to
a burst of huzzas that seemed to urge
Gentry on. for the remainder of his
task. At the half the time was l min
ute and at a pace that never seemed to
flag. as he passed the three-quarters in
1872 and came down the stretch amid
the cheers of the crowd and in strong
wind. crossing under the wire in one
of the greatest attempts Of his life.
Both the horse and his driver were
Immediately surrounded by an admir-
ing throng, while the judges presented
Andrews with a gold watch. 1t was
the general impression that had the
race been run earlier in the afternoon,
before the air became chill, and while
the wind was light, he could have
equalled or probably beaten his worlds
record.

Here is another editorial opinion:

Overwhelmingly towards the cleo

of the gold standard. The kilograms
were almost invariably highly colored
and with full assurance of his election.
But occasionally one would throw a
doubt upon it, and immediate uneasi-
ness was apparent in the editorials fol-
lowing. Or of these papers, the Daily
Telegraph, of London, sent a special
correspondent to Mckinley, and in the
language of the interview they had
with him, published in that paper on

q only know that a paper published

room of Karlsbad, l saw a notice that
