MARCUS DALY'S BIG OFFER.
Says He VIII Give ~s125,OOO Cash and
Half of His Turf Winnings for
GaItee More.

Chicago, ILL.,. June 23.-Marcus DAILY, the
big Montana copper king and turfman,
passed through Chicago en- route to Butte.
Mr.. Daily stopped over in the city one
hour between trains, just long enough to
make the highest bid ever recorded for a
thoroughbred in America. The following
brief cable tells the story:
Chicago, Ill, June q.
ITO Mr.. Gubbins. Knocknany Stud, Knock
any, ireland.
"Win give SIPS 900 cash and half his turf
winnings for Galtee More.
MARCUS DAILY,
Bitter Creek Farm, Montana"
Mr.. Daily said in answer to a question
put to him by a reporter: 81 want Galtee
More because l think he is the greatest
thoroughbred of the age. 1 know the stock
he comes from and his progeny should be
as valuable as his ancestry. For my part,
/ would not care to race him much. I
would retire him to Bitter Creek after a
season or two on the track"
While higher prices have been offered
than this. it is doubtful if s125. 900 was ever
bid by an American for a runner. The
contingent half of Galtee More's turf win
nings. on top of the cash bid. certainly eX-
ceeds anything in the way OF a bid made
this side of the Atlantic.

netts head began to whirl, and the spring
in his knee worked faster than ever. It
was not a surprise TO see him send four
bad ones over to Menefee, who walked
down, filing the last Of the vacant sacks.
Blanford, who has proved a worthy sue
cessor to Fred Lake, raped the ball into
right field for one base, and Carney and
B8npon came home. Abbey waited and
walked, filling the sacks, and Barnett hit
ORoUrke in the ribs, forcing Menefee
across the rubber. Connaughton drew q
base, and Blanford strolled In from third.
Barnett was ordered to report at the bench
and Hon Fricken was sent in TO stem the
tide. There was a kink in his bowling arm,

had given Gettinger a base on balls, and

No temporary advantage OF abundant
crops I'm presence of inadequate crops
elsewhere ought, says the New York Jour
nal of Commerce, to shut the eyes of our
people TO the operation OF the great forces
that go to the making or marrins OF
permanently high standard or national
prosperity. The great forces" to which
the Journal Of Commerce alludes are the
forces that are at work to bring about
retaliatory war of tariffs on this country
Our New York contemporary, while ad-
hitting that the time is not propitious Tor
such war, adds:
But the fact may as well be recognized
that such an anti-American tariff league
would meet the approval of France and
Italy, also, and that the agricultural class
of every country of Continental Europe
would heartily support discriminating
duties against the food products of the
United States. The policy of protection
in France and Germany finds It's main
stay among the farmers and landed pro-
prietors who imagine they have peen
impoverished by the competition or our
Western States. When their opposition
is reinforced by that of the manuiac-
turing interests of these countries the
natural result will be the adoption of a
line of policy tending to the cultivation
of trade with every other country at the
expense of the United States. The efects
OF such a policy on our trade may not
be Immediately noticeable. but once es-
tablished its influence must be cumula-
tive, and it is an influence TO be frankly
recognized and calmly discussed"
True. We can never attain perma-
nent high standard Of national prosperity
so long as we live under tariff like the
present one The Dingley tariff is a
tariff false in Its economic theories and
little short of highway robbery in Its
practices; yet since 1t is fastened upon
us the wise course is TO make the best
OF the situation by pressing business and
quietly educating the people up to the
point of repudiating 1t.

CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT.

The Danyile Register is very much
exercised over the fact that a corre-
spondent of the Atlanta Constitution IN
n letter on Virginia politics, refers to
Congressman Swanson as the represen-
tatlve of the 'bloody Fifth" The Re-
gister finds in the letter to the constr
tuition internal evidence that the CORE
snondent got all Of his knowledge OF
Virginia affairs from Senator Danlei
and Congressman Swanson, and ASKS;
"Can it be possible that either OF these
gentlemen so far forgot himself as 10
dub this congressional district the

Our esteemed contemporary is alto

ance. Evidently, the Constitutions cor
