There is no law whatever requir-

idle in the treasury of the United

no law requiring a reserve fund OF
any kind for any purpose The
gold reserve rascality commenced

Democratic successor initiated the
Republican example. AS secretary
of the treasury, John Sherman set
aside, without warrant of law,
500, ,OOO,O0O in gold to redeem
greenbacks. There was neither
law to Justify this nor any necessity
Tor such action, The greenbacks
were circulating freely among the
people, answering all the demands
for money, The only men who OPP
posed the greenbacks were the ma
tional bankers, who desired to sub
stitute for these notes of their
own. The $lOO,OOO,OOO gold reserve
ought to be at work among the peo-
pie, So far as the good it does it

NOT A SUCCESS,
The Races at the FAIR Grounds Fri
day Draws o Small Crowd.

The races which had been extern
sively advertised to come off Friday,
with suitable purses to be given to
the winners, did not draw the
crowd that was expected; less than
fifty people paying for railroad
tickets to the grounds-most of
them there went out in huggies
and carriages.
We learn from those present that
the management of the races made
talk to those who had entered
horses to the effect that gate re-
ceipts amounted to $ll, and that
he would add to this all money taxi
en- in at the various stands and let
a committee parcel it out to the
different winners Of the races, on
the programme. All finally ac-
quiesced, and when the sun was
dipping for the horizon the races
were called. Following is the sum
mary:
First race, five starters, "Nellie,"
first; Gray Nellie, second; Galla-
CHER, third,
Second race, half mile, Joe Smell
by, first; Rex, second
Third race, quarter mile dash,
Joe Shelby, 6rstj Della, second;
Little Kid, third.
After this the crowd broke up,
aud those who had vehicles came
back to the city, Those who went
out on the train would have return
ed but the train played them some
Fantastic tricks" not making the
trip every hour, as advertised and
they were compelled to await Its
arrival or walk home; many after
waiting over time, did foot the two
and one half miles back to the city.
The dance at night at the park,
as a side issue to the races, drew
a better crowd and there was more
enjoyment for those who "heel and
toed TT than was in the races
Racing will never be popular here
until a regular organized jockey
club superintends them aud puts
up prizes that the people may see
and get, after the races are oyer
whether the gate receipts are sulli-
cient to pay them or not, Then
another thing must be done-have
regular train service to the grounds
whether there Is one or thousand
passengers ready to 90 or return,
You can fool the people sometime
but the thing gets worn thread
bare after awhile, and they make
up their minds to remain away
Let MS have system about these
matters and promise nothing but
what we can fulfill and then racing
will become popular and not bee
