WHEN GEORGE ". was Prince OF
Wales he won the Derby race. Albert
is the first Prince of Wales since then
who has done 50, and he only after many
failures. His victory has increased his
honors and has made him more popular
with the people of whom in a few years
he will be King. Thousands of men,
women and children, of high and low
degree, witnessed the race, and hum
dreds of thousands of dollars were won
and lost on it, though nobody's manners
nor morals, so far as heard of, were
hurt by it. But, according to the news
papers and board of trade of Washing
ton, who are interested in real estate in
the District of Columbia, horse races
that attracted people to Alexandria
county were utterly demoralizing to the
people of both Washington and Alex
aadria, and disgraced all who attended
them.

THE ATTEMPT to make good, out

THE ATTEMPT to make good, out of
bad money is wrong. but it is popular.
An income tax and the repeal of the
civil service law are right, but they, too,
are popular, and the three combined
would sweep the country. Are the
democratic managers wise enough to
avail themselves of the exceptional OPP
portunity afforded by the situation :?
Unfortunately for their party, they
have done nothing in the recent past to
induce the hope that they are.

Jusras expected, the democratic con-
yention of Virginia has declared for
the free coinage of silver, and, just as
was right, it has adopted the unit rule,
and thereby preserved the influence and
power of the State in the national DEM
ocratic convention. The democrats OF
Virginia cast their vote for the cleo
ton of their party's Presidential can
didate as unit, and there is no good
good why they should not do so for his
nomination.

VENEZUELAN COMMISSION.
Report VIII Be in Presidents Hands Be-
fore Congress Opens.

Washington, November 26-While there
are no direct advices on the matter, ita is
evident that the report of the Venezuelan
20 mmission, which is now virtually fin
1shed, will be in possession OF the President
prior to the completion of the Forthcoming
message to Congress.
How the character of the Commissions re-
port may be changed from its present stand
ing In view of the friendly attitude of this
country and England tow ard each other
in the settlement OF the Venezuelan trouble
is a subject of much official and diplomatic
interest That point appears to await
official reports from the government in Car
acas. Should the arbitration agreement
Detwe en- England and the United States
prove acceptable to Venezuela, the incident
will be hafmoniously and finally closed in
all quarters, and there will be no tendency
to recall past acrimony and recitals of disa-
greements that would appear, should circum-
stances call for detailed statements of the
numerous points involved in the controversy
as considered by the Commissioners.
If the South American republic cordially
acquiesces in the decision of the two Powers
bearing the brunt of the cant roversy a
ormal report only will be necessary. JUS
tice Brewer, the president of the Commission
was in consultation with Secretary Olney
today, presumably on this subject, but he
declines to give any indication of the pur-
pose OF his visit to the State department.

Gen. Harrison as Senatorial Candidate,

Indianapolis, November 25.-Dr. James
Harris, of Nobleville, member-el OF the
legislature, has joined the Harrison element
for United States Senator, and as the time
for the legislature to meet grows nearer day
by day, there is more and more evidence
that General Harrison must in time make
some statement as to whether he will allow
himself to be voted for in caucus.
One of the ex-President's confidential
friends said today, without permitting his
name to be used: "While l have no authori-
ty to speak for General Harrison, believe
l know his mind, and think he would not
for one moment permit himself to be con-
sidered as available for this office. He
knows that there are three or four members
who will vote for him unless he puts a stop
to their intention, but it can be stated as a
fact that the thought of re-entering public
life has never entered his mind. In the
Senate he would be looked upon as the
leader of his party, and would have to re-
sumo care and responsi bilities of which he
thinks he has borne his share. The truth is
that his name is being used 4 menace
to the candidacy of Charles w. Fairbank,
and it is not an agreeable role to the ex-
President, Notwithstanding MI. Fairbanks
was leader In the anti-Harrison movement
in Gresham's day."

THANKSGIVING BLAZE.
A Saw Mill at Gorham, N. H. Burned
Down.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.J

Gorham, N. H., November 26.-An
alarm of fire at about 2 o'clock this
morning brought out the fire depart
ment. 1t was discovered that the large
saw mill of E. Libby s. Sons in the up
per district, formerly the Peabody mills,
now known as Libby's upper mills. were
all on fire, and despite every effort which
was made, they were soon complete
mass of ruins, including the new dry
house near by.
1t is supposed to have caught from the
engine in some way, and was not dis
covered until it was too late to save it..
A high east wind was prevailing at the
time, together with snow and rain, max

alton of the subject is postponed until the
next Congress eonvenes it may be too late,
he thinks, to benefit the treasury. Mr. Quay
says that, pending action by Congress- i'm
portations may be hurried into the United
States under the present low rate Of duty in
such large quantities as to meet the de-
mands OF trade for the next three OF four
years. Under these circumstances general
revision cf. the tariff year or more from the
present time will in his opinion, be Of but
little benefit to the treasury. Senator Quay
is not prepared to say that such a measure
as he suggests can be passed during the
coming session. but he is in favor of making
the attempt. He has not conferred with any
OF his colleagues on the subjects, and he is
not aware tn at any of the Senators who
voted against tariff revision at the last ses-
sion of Con gress have changed their views
on the ubject but as plain business prop
osition he believes something ought to be
done promptly to relieve the treasury The
ot1cial reports show that the expenditures
are far in excess of the receipts, and the
sooner that condition of affairs is remedied
the better it will be for the country.
Senator Quay is disincIned to reveal all
that he may know concerning the make up
of MI. McKinley's cabinet. His personal
friends announce with apparent positiveness
that he can have the Naval portfolio if he
will accept it, Ne declines to throw any
light on that subject

Washington, November 26-Attentlon is
called to the fact that if an extra session
should be called experience shows that a
tariff has never been matured and adopted
in a brief period of time. Most of the
historical measures have engaged Congress
many months in long and anxious de-
bates, and several of tn EN- were enacted
by close majorities. Referring only to two
of the measures of the present generation
1T is found that the Mckinley bill was re-
ported on April 16, 1890, it passed the House
on May 81 and the Senate on September II,
and it was approved by President Harrison
on October of that year. The Wilson Cor
man bill was reported on December 10,
1898. 1t passed the House on February /, 1894,
and the Sc nate on July Q, 1894. 1t became a
law withou t the signature of President

if no legislation against the combination of
capital is accomplished during the next four
years, Braynism will triumph in 1900. He
asserted that the multiplying of trusts and
monopolies. in which bands of capita, join
wealth to wealth, to buy up industries and
control the market, are organized conspi-

Companies were bitterly denounced.
