Referee Pitman OF the recent Iryington-
Millburn race has written to Chairman
Gideon of the racing board asking that
Charles Hadfield, the disqualified winner of
thatevent, be etransferred to the professional
ranks and also be debarred from track
privileges for certain length of time.
Since the rae Mr.. Pitman has been ac-
cused in some quarters Of having made an
incorrect ruling in deciding that Hatfield
was paced, presumably by one interested
III the success Of the wheel which he rode,
and he has, therefore, been making some
quiet but careful inquiries, with view
TO proving the correctness of his ruling.
Mr.. Pitman claims that he has undoubted
evidence that previous to the race Hadfield
did make arrangements to ride a certain
make of machine and tire for cash con-
sideration, and that he subsequently went
back on that agreement; that he then asked
another manufacturer to pay him 5000 for
riding the latter's wheel, and that when that
proposition was rejected, he selected the
wheel which he rode. He also asserts that

hypocrites, who can be so silly as to
heed their pledges again?
Are we forever to go on reposing the
same foolish confidence in men and
newspapers that deceive us in each
campaign?
Can the free-silver Demo Gratis squall
any louder now than they lid in 1927
Didn't they swear that they'd quit the
party If the Democrats didn't give the
people open minis?
And when the Democrats gave us
closed minis, and out-Shermaned John
Sherman in the policy of contraction,
didn't the last one of these free-silver
Democrats say ooh, we'll, Cleveland
knows more about it than do?
Didn't the Atlanta Constitution
threaten to kick out, If they didn't coin
the seigniorage?
Didn't 1t swear they would hurt
somebody, If the Sherman Law were
Internationally repealed?
Didn't it pledge itself to tear the
roof off, II Cleveland issued bonds?
Didn't it hold Turner and Voorhees,
and Black and Lawson up to public
scorn and hatred, calling them "cuck-
oos," and pouring out the jugs and
demi-johns Of editorial wrath upon
them?
And didn't the same Atlanta Consti-
tuition rack right up and support all
these "cuckoos" for Office again?
And didn't It give in its campaign
allegiance to the Democratic patriots
who had refused to coin the seignior-
age, refused to coin any more silver,
and who had sanctioned the bond is
suing, gold-payment policy of Grover
Cleveland?
Yet, listen at its howls,-this same
Atlanta Constitution. 1t raves for
free-silver as If 1t had never helped
to drive nails into the coffin thereof.
It means over the dead body of bimetal-
lism as IL 1t had never stuck knife to
its vitals.
Out upon such hypocrisy!
Every speech and every editorial of
the old party leaders in favor of free
silver simply means this: Don't quit
us, don't go to the Populists."
That's all. There isn't a Republic
can leader living who believes for one
moment that the Republican party will
ever take the back track on the policy
Of contraction. No intelligent Demo-
crat believes that his party will ever
re-enact free-coinage law. The gist
| of the whole matter is that political
necessity requires that they should
raise clamor for silver to keep the
voters in heart.
A sham fight must be had to keep the
plain people from starting real battle
| for the policy Of their fathers.
To reach any other conclusion than
this, you have got to forget the record
Of the last four years-a record black
as hell with confidence betrayed and
trust violated, with vows falsified and
treacheries perpetrated, with campaign
villainies and legislative crimes.

A dispatch from Washington, D. c..
says:
1T is asserted that the books Of the
Baltimore & Ohio show that the sum
Of $3,500000 has been taken from the
treasury Of the company and spent for
political purposes, and it is proposed
to find out who got this money. To do
this it is stated that 1t will be neces-
sary to investigate the matter Of the
construction of the Philadelphia divi-
sion Of the road, the cost of which has
never been made known to the general
stockholders, but which has been vari-
ously estimated from $12, 900, 900 to $780,
100000, and it is predicted that when
the report of the manner in which the
Baltimore & Ohio obtained an en-
trance into Philadelphia is made
known some very prominent politicians
of that city will have reason to wish
that those who are now directing the
affairs of the Baltimore & Ohio had
never reached that position"
This is interesting. The main argu-
ment against government ownership OF
railroads is the danger Of the railroad
power being used in politics. Yet here
is one railroad under private owner
ship spending millions for political pur-
poses-and there are others. Oh, no,
the railroads have no influence in poll
tics under the present system.

Cut This Out.

There are two classes-those who
have dollars to sell for products and
commodities, including labor, and those
who have products and commodities
including labor, to sell for dollars. We
are unwilling to believe that any one
no matter to which class he may be.
long, is so stupid as not to know that
the gold standard more than doubles
the wealth, or the opportunities for
wealth, of the first class, and that II
makes wealth, or even competency, i'm
possible for the second class. There
is here an irrepressible conflict. The
gold standard takes half the products
and labor from those who must buy dol
lars, and gives it to those who have
dollars to sell. How? By making dol
lars dearer and products and labor
cheaper.-Iowa Plain Dealer.

Some Of the enormous possibilities
of theosophy are revealed by we'd
ding which took place in New York the
other day, the formality of marriage
ceremony having been dispensed with
for the very good reason that bride
and groom were really married by
priests of Isis in Egypt 5000 years ago.
Now there is married life for you with
some substance to it. These inter-
esting young people say that they re-
member that original marriage cere-
;mony quite distinctly, and although
they have been separated summers
day matter of several centuries they
doubtless will, upon more fully compar-
ing notes, be able to recall other cpl
sodes of their prolonged conjugal ex-
istence, as when they were divorced in
Assyria and Greece and Rome. Per-
haps the most important point is that
this youth and maiden, after 5000
years experience, are anxious to stay
married-which should certainly set
tile the question. Is marriage failure?

! Miss M. E. Braddon, writing for the
Philadelphia Bulletin, says the right
of woman to propose involves heavy
responsibility. 1t obliges the lady to
take her sweetheart to the opera, to give
him confectionery, and perhaps to sup
ply him with beer and tobacco. To do
this correctly the lady must pay the
necessary expenses, and therefore the
old way is the best and the popping
must be done by the old-fashioned man.
Sordid thing! AS if money were to be
thought of in these affairs Of the heart.

Montana mines yielded $47,115, 900
worth of minerals last year. The cop
per production of the state was about
65 per cent of the whole product Of the
United States. The gold product
amounted to $4,1OO,OOO; silver to $780,
900 ounces; copper to $4,000 pounds
and lead to 24,5OO,OOO pounds. The gold
output was 10 per cent greater than in
the previous year and AZ per cent
greater than in 1893.

Miss Kate Shelley Of Moingona, Iowa,
who made her way through raging

and, by signaling to a crowded express

France is learning by sharp expert
ences that she cannot make her exc
cutive responsible to the two chambers
of double legislature. In framing her
constitution she followed America in
establishing an elective executive, but
England is making her advisers de-
pendent on a legislative majority for
their continuance in office. Thus the
executive has neither the English
strength of heredity and continuity
nor the American Of independence. I'm
der this system nothing has been easier
than to upset French ministry and
they have followed one another in such
rapid succession that the memory re-
fuses to be burdened with them.
