IS HARRISON BLlNDr

The Chicago Record is calling upon
Mayor Harrison 10 suppress the gam
bling houses. but ne declines 10 take ac-
tion-so the Record claims-because he
does not know that gambling is carried
on. This is queer. if it Is true. 1t
would be difficult to prosecute any one
for crime if the authorities had to wait
for positive evidence OF guilt before
making an arrest. II is function Of
courts to find out whether or not pris-
oner is guilty. 1t is only through his ar
rest and trial that this can be ascer-
tanned.
1t is to be hoped that the Record is
wrong in its estimate Of Mayor Har-
rison. To assume, in the first place.
that there was no gambling in Chicago
is ridiculous on its face. To decline
making arrests. or having II done, with
out proof Of guilt in advance would be
an absurdity unworthy Of man with
brains enough to secure the Office Of
mayor of Chicago. Either the Record is
mistaken or it should introduce a move
ment to get rid of such purblind
mayor.

less true that we have witnessed VERT
able foodtide Of prosperity under the
very policy which they were so sure
would bring financial ruin TO the whole
country
The incident proves once more that
the old shinplaster. free trade policy of
the opposition is a farce. 1t shows that
they were dead wrong in their conclu
sions and that their direful predictions
were only intended for scare. II
shows further that the Republican idea
Of home protection lies at the very foun-
dation Of success for American industry
and American commerce. We are
working out, on this side OF the Atlantic
problem of our own. We ask 10 fav-
ors and owe no allegiance 10 the efete
monarchies of Europe. Our govern
ment is of the people and by the people.
1t is unique among the nations, IN the
fact that every voter is a sovereign. His
ballot determines financial questions as
we'll as questions of government, and II
is more than a coincidence that the
great commercial prosperity we have
ever seen was when the Republican
voters were in he majority. Since its

of business prosperity, while the oppos-
ing party has been the hoodoo-the
nemesis TO the success Of our COM
merce. Go to history for the facts.

ON THEIR OWN GROUND.

There may be those who attribute our
business prosperity TO luck, or rather to
fortuitouS chain OF circumstances
which were bound 10 bring Il revival in
trade. regardless of political influences
Upon this hypothesis it might be reason
ed out, but for the fact that n change Of
administration was the chief agency in
bringing it about In other words, it
was the change from that ancient Dem
ocratic policy Of competing with the
pauper labor in Europe by opening our
markets free 10 the world, 10 that of
protecting home industries and Ameri-
can wages for the laboring class. It
was through voting down the heresy of
the free and unlimited coinage OF the
worlds silver al the ratio of 16 to l.
and the adoption Of the Republican pol
icy Of maintaining The vast amount OF
silver now in circulation, on a basis Of
100 cents for every dollar coined. These
were the leading issues of the campaign
last year They were made by the max
erS of Democratic and Populist plat
forms. They announced their antagon-
ism 20 the Republican idea from every
stump, and stubbornly fought il in their
party organs. Had the Republicans
sought 10 avoid these two leading issues
they could not have succeeded, because
theywere forced upon them. every inch
of ground being slubbornly contested.
and every argument OF the Mckinley
forces stoutly met. Luckily. however,
the Republicans were glad 10 meet the
enemy on their own ground. There
was buncombe and bombast in every
speech and every editorial. and there
was no end TO the boasting Of having
driven the Republicans into a corner on
these issues; 80 it turned out thar. while
Democratic leaders felicitated them
selves on having forced the issue. the
Republicans were more than anxious To
meet them on their chosen field. Ii was
an active campaign. and the contest was
fairly won in the face of the Democratic
war cry that business prosperity. and
even the life Of the nation depended on
the election of their ticket.
The result we have seen. Their ticket
was defeated and prosperity came, and
the nation preserves her old-jime auton
omy. How. then. can better times have
proceeded from causes outside of the
issues of the last campaign? Economic
principles are. no doubt. involved. Rusl-
ness methods must be lived up 10 by

Eddie McFalland is en- the disabled list
He was hit on the light arm by one of
Callahan's inshoots and the injuly is more
serious than was at fist thought.
1t is said that ''Ducky' Holmes, who was
so anxious to get away from Louisville,
would now like to get hack, being dis
satisfied with his New York berth.
Old Bill Hassamaer, of Toledo, while
playing shortstop Tuesday afternoon, was
struck on the left arm and had bone
broken near the wrist by ball thrown
by an outfielder. A runner got in his way
while trying to make the catch and this
caused the accident. Dr.. Jesse p. Cooper
reduced the fracture. New Castle News.
The latest bouquet thrown out by the
Baltimore Sun reads: The ma gnanimity and
impartiality Of Baltimore crowds was strik-
ingly Illustrated Saturday. Umpire Nc
Donald made a mistake against Louisville
in the sixth inning, doubtless through not
observing closely. Fred Clarke hitto Doyle
and there was u lively race for the bag.
Clarke won by fraction of a second, but
Mcdonald called him out. The crowd
shouted mot OUT and Kissed the umpire.
The kissing was un just, but IL showed tin-
n,istakahly that Baltimore spectators want
fair play, even in preference to victory
won by partiaity. In most cities thee crowds
howl with delight when the umpire favors
the home club.
