In tho English campaign OF Mcssrs.
Croker and Dwyor, Croker won only ST.
025, while Dryers horses earned 81, 075.
Commenting on this fact, II Now York
turfman recently said: sit is almost i'm
possible for any American owner to sue
coed in England until no becomes familiar
with the game there. English racing Is
unlike our own style. The climate is diff
forcnt, the courses arc oil on tho turf, and
the system of training is unlike that prao-
tiood hero. There is plenty of money to
be won in England If one knows how to
go about it. During tho season just
ended about 80 owners each won $50, 900 or
upward, and us many moro won from $1O,-
GOO to $4,000 each. About 10 owners
won bctwccn $40, 600 md 500, 900 each.
Tho largest winner was Mr.. Leopold do
Rothschild, whose stable earned $I04, O25."

THE FERRY DEPOT.

The action of the Harbor Commissioners
in deciding to begin work at once on the
ferry depot building and to make use OF
California stone will be generally COM
mended. 1t is true that in taking this
action the commission runs the risk of
being confronted later on by an adverse
decision of the Supreme Court. The risk,
however, Is not great. 1t is certainly not
sufficient to justify long postponement
of the beginning of work which has al
ready been delayed too long, and for the
completion of which the people are rightly
impatient.
The prompt commencement OF the work
is the more important because at this time
there is such q pressing need TO provide
employment for as many men as possible
and to put money into circulation. We
called attention q few days ago to the fact
that there has been appropriated for pub
lie work IN this City S2,O00, 600 by the Ma
tional Government. $1,000 by the CITY
for new municipal building, ana bv the
State 5000, for the ferry depot. and
$250,O00 for the buildings of the Affiliated
Colleges. This money should not be left
in idleness If there is any possible way to
put it into circulation by an immediate
beginning OF the proposed work, and the
Harbor Commissioners have done exactly
what is right in deciding to go ahead.
1t is not easy to see how any harm can
result from the action taken. The begin
ming OF the work will have tendency to

honal declarations. The Journal has a
great head for diplomatic as well as sew
eral other kinds of cunning. So has the
ostrich, and, too. it shows most when it
tries most to hide.
But the Journal has still "last resort, T"
which 1t thinks may furnish pegs to hang
hopes upon. Should the scheme to elect
q hostile Congress fail, then there is the
nope that Mr.. Bryan, "sobered by the re-
sponsibllities of power, may fail to live up
10 the fanatical platform of an excited
convention" If Bryan is to be "sobered
oy the responsibilities of power" after he
is elected, he must be drunk now on the
fumes OF 'fanatical platform" but will
ne ever sober up"2 He has made a
dozen speeches since his nomination, and
IN every one of them he applauded the
Cnicago platform as the product of pretty
nearly superhnman wisdom. The Journal
Is not complimentary to Mr. Bryan. 1t
pins. Its faith, next to having a hostile
congress, to the candidates makeup on
lines OF treaehery and ingratitude. which
wiii blossom into an out-and-out repndia-
ton OF the "fanatical" Chicago platform
and into the advocacy of the Journals
Kind OF sound money" which is the
gold standard. This is the hardest thing
that has ever been said about Bryan, and
never before was such o campaign of per-
hdy, hypocrisy and falsehood advocated
oy newspaper or politician.
