the half when she went off her feet and
dropped back, the two Allen Boys getting
up into the van. Daisy broke badly in
the stretch, but was pulled down onto
her feet at the quarter and acted well
during the rest of the mile regaining a
little of what she had lost at first. Fern
dale, who was pressing the leading trio,
composed of Royal Victor and the two
Allen Boys hard, broke badly again
shortly after the half was passed, and
then the field was divided into three
divisions. Up in the van Royal Victor
and the Allen Boys were having sharp
race and forming the first division. In
the second division Fernadle, Daisy,
Hollister and Royal Duke were closely
punched, and bringing up the rear came
Nordica, trotting evenly now, and Claus
Forester neck and neck. On the home
stretch 1T was pretty scrap between the
horses of the leading trio. All three
drivers were pushing their horses for all
they were worth, and it looked as if u
good sizod blanket would cover the whole
lot. Paige's Allen Boy finished first by
a neck with Royal Victor right behind
and the other Allen Boy at Victor's
wheel. Ferndale for all her running
finished fourth and Daisy was fifth.
The time was 2. 1514.

Reform Should Upbuild, Not Destroy.

It should be the mission of social economical, and
financial reform to clear the public atmosphere and equal
ize and make conditions better The world and its
rous forms of imperfect and or less
oppressive and the chief aim of every ovament to
change several laws should be for the uplifting of
humanity instead of the creation of greater public burdens
Especially this of various monetary systems
Money the medium used to facilitate exchanges and
give impetus to trade and If is uctuang
unstable lacks power to inspire public confidence,
commercial disturbances and industrial depression are
certain follow On the other hand if money has fixed
value and is free from Influences that make it specua-
tive commodity trade must thrive and liberal investment
the natural result for people will not be afraid to buy
and sell to borrow loan it for business purposes.
The fact that it does not rise fall in accordance with
Interchangeable law of is sufficient to create
confidence IN the future and to business For
that reason countries that adhere to the gold standard
and which avoid financial agitation have been able to
tend their markets and control the greater share of the
worlds trade while those that have been experimenting
with silver have practically ceased to progress AS
illustration, compare the wealth. power and commercial
energy of England Germany France any other gold
country with Russia. Mexico China India the South
Amercan republics In this connection it is fair say
that both Russia and Japan are preparing to go to gold
basis their warlike complications will justify
the change AS it is both countries keep large supply
|of gold on hand to meet sudden emergencies.
- Suppose this country silver basis and
were compelled to estimate part of profits and
losses by monetary fluctuations, is done all silver
countries Would not be in the hands of broker sharks
instead of relying fixed standard to make money
equally valuable day with another?' Following is
table showing the fluctuations estimated in American
gold Of the national of the various silver nations
