GENTRY is KING.
Three Big Stallion
PAGERS Matched
at Rochester.
BEST RACE OF THE YEAR.
Joe Patchen and Search
light Go Down Before
Goshen Horse.

Rochester, N. Y, Aug. 1.-THE
grandest pacing race, perhaps ever
witnessed in this country was pulled
off at the Rochester Driving Park to-
day, and as a result the little bay stall
lion from Goshen, N. Y, John R. Gent
ry, is still king of the light harness
racers.
A better day for a horse race was
never seen. More than 5000 persons as
sembled at the old driving park, the
scene Of many famous horse events, to
see the three great pacing stalliohs of
the American turf, John R. Gentry.
2:0O1h, Joe Patchen, 2:01A, and Search
light, 2:045A, wage battle royal for the
supremacy. The track was very fast,
and, although there was slight breeze
down the home stretch, it did not seem
to hold the racers.
| The first heat was the heat of the
race. The owner of Patchen, w. 8.
! Haws, decided to drive in place Of
+ Dickerson. The scoring was prompt.
and at the fourth attempt $50. 900
/ worth of horsedesh started to pace the
race of their lives. It was evident at
| the start that Andrews intended to
make his competitors set the pace. At
/
| half behind, while Patchen and Search
light We're on even terms. The leader
held the same position when the half
| mile pole was reached, and Gentry had
dropped back another length and a
half.
| All three were driving at the three
quarters. but it was not until the
stretch was entered that the cheering
and excited spectators saw coming out

a flash of hoofs and the steel gray cap
and coat of Billy Andrews, who, with
a mastery hand, guided his magnifi-
cent charge to the outside of the track
and shot to the front like a meteor.
raster and faster, with every frac-
ton of second seemingly gaining
greater speed as they came on toward
the wire, moved the flying sulkies until
the gap was closed. A hundred yards
from the wire Patchen went in the air
and Searchlights driver began to use
the whip. Andrews drove steadily and
the little stallion, with a mighty rush,
passed under the wire a neck and a
trifie more to the good.
In the second, the deciding heat,
Searchlight acted badly few lengths
after the start, and broke often, the
race narrowing down to Gentry and
Patchen. 1t was a close battle the
whole distance till the stretch was
reached. Then Gentry forged ahead
with comparative ease and won by
nearly a length and a half.
After the race, w. H. Hartman an
nounced that he was ready to match
Searchlight against Gentry for $4,000,
the race to take place at any time with
in the present week. The other events
proved of little interest in comparison
with the big event. Summary:

Arraigning Gen. Miles.

The Mckinley organs agree that the
conduct of Gen. Miles in continuing to
agltate the beef scandal is most repre-
heusibie. that he ought to be humiliat-
ed and that the President is thinking
of removing him from the command of
the army.
Let US have clear understanding of
the misconduct of which Gen. Miles
has been guilty. What is the repre-
hensible thing he has done?
Was it reprehensible to discover that
the beef issued to the soldiers was
nauseating and poisonous?
Having discovered that the army
beef was nauseating and poisonous
that the rations issued to the defenders
of the country endangered health and
1ife-was it reprehensible to investi-
gate the matter, to testify to the facts
and to demand that the rascals guilty
of this murderous job be exposed and
punished?
Does President Mckinley want %
punish Gen. Miles for not shutting his
eyes to contract jobs and not suppress
ing the facts about the cheating of the
country and the poisoning of its brave
soldiers with rotten rations?
Secretary AIger is described as boil
ing over with indignation because Gen.
Miles is talking OUT about the beef
scandal. He considers it breach of
decorum grave enough TO merit pun
ishment. Would Gen. Alger consider
talking breach of decorum if, instead
of telling unpleasant truths. Gen.
Miles were slathering the Alger ad-
ministration with praise and denounc-
ing men who wante6 the truth brought
outs

Sermon for Expansionists.

In two lines nonpareil writer on
the editorial staff of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer preached a sermon the
other day that every American citizen
who has been tempted away from the
national faith by the idolatry of i'm
perialism ought to read and ponder
upon. 1t is at first sight but the cru
dest of unadornedl colloquial para
graphs, but it has the quality that now
and again an artist musters. which
enables him by few lines and blotch-
es of shadow to faithfully portray
scene that one less skilled might labor
for months with paint and brush and
never compass. Here Is the whole
doctrine of the expansionists reduced
TO two sentences:
Are the Indians near your ranch
troublesome? Nav; they ain't got
nothin' we want"
Though he followed all the most
carefully contrived rules of the rhet-
oricians, though he went from firstly
to seventeenthly, taking each step in
accord with the incest requirements Of
logic, the man who preached this lit
tie sermon could not have put the facts
more forcibly before his audience.
Why are our ambitious fellows who
are supporting the national admins
tration in its greb-all policy so keen IN
their new activity Some OF them say it
is because the flag has been raised over
the Philippines and no man must haul
it down. Others say that we owe
Christian duty to the heathen island
ers to civilize them and make them
prosperous and happy, whether they
or we like il or not. But would these
enthusiasts be so enthusiastic If the
Philippines were but barren, unpro-
ductive islets, II the civilizing did not
promise to payp Our flag has been
planted by brave explorers far above
the icy circle OF the frozen north. Has
anyone heard any extended demand
for the sending OF warships TO see that
that 1ag was kept fiyingP What OF
our Christian duty to civilize and lead
upward and onward the wretched Es-
quimauxa Those fur-clad barbarians
and their ice-bouud land have nothing
that we want. Is there no connection
between this fact and our national in
clination TO let them govern themselves
as they will, whether they are .squali-
fed for self government" or NOT?
If we carry the sword to the Filipinos
it will be because they have something
which we covet. II We take what we
want by force of our superior power,
we shall commit q crime no less than
the individual thief who covets and
takes his neighbor-s purse. Bat Of
thieves there are two sorts--the cow
ardly sneaks who pick pockets and
climb porches. and the bold criminals
who take their plunder BY open force
GA the highway. II we are TO be

manly as We may. Let as ride out
upon the highway and not stoop to be

human beings who aspire to the reali-
cation and enjoyment of freedom and

Implanted in the human breast.
To compass this end the first thing

a large military establishment con-
tribute to your peace, comfort, securi-
ty, and future happinessp
You are the victims of the gold
standard and monopolies. They are
not demanding a large military estab-
lishment to secure your release from
their own relentless grasp. No. it is
not to advance your welfare that the
Filipino is to be subiugated and the
army increased. You have political
power. This the monopolies dread.
Do you think they will continue in
definitely to spend their millions to
corrupt the ballot box in order to defeat
your will, as they did in 1896. after
they have sufficiently strengthened the
military arm of the government and
are able to control it to defy the popu-
lar will? In the strict adherence to
the traditions OF the fathers lie your
safety and the safety of the republic.
Those who would spend millions to
corrupt the ballot box will, as soon as
they possess the power to do, so use the
army to set aside the popular will.
Aside from a war of conquest being an
evil in itself. a national sin that would
merit the wrath of heaven, in this case
it is but the pretext to secure an army
which the money kings, trusts and
monopolies believe to be necessary to
have :or the successful prosecution OF
their designs, which if carried out
means at no distant day the overthrow
of the republic. SsErer Kntght Watcl-
