More People Will Witness the Contest
Than Ever Before.
New York, Oct. 2.-The Columbia
Shamrock races will be witnessed by
a throng vastly larger than that
which has attended previous contests
for the famous cup, and yet the rae
ers will have clean ground, owing
to federal supervision of the courses.
Yachtsmen are coming from all parts
Of the United States. The feet of pri-
vate pleasure yachts now in these wa
tiers is larger than ever before known.
In fact, nearly every steam yacht In
the American list is now anchored in
the vicinity of New York, and pretty
much all of American society that is
not afraid of sea-slckness will be
afloat.
Hundreds of enthusiastic yachtsmen
are already at the hotels, and more
are expected. Many of the knowing
ones have engaged rooms in advance
at the Waldorf-Astoria and the Hol-
land House. About 200 of Sir Thorn
as Liptons sympathizers are booked
for the Fifth Avenue hotel. There
Is not the slightest doubt that three
times as many people will see the con.
tests between the Columbia and the
Shamrock as ever before saw an inter-
national yacht race. The English Wis
itors who have come are far greater
In number and more distinguished

There has never been political cam
paign that will equal in Importance
that of the one to be fought next year.
The republican party, backed by the
money power of this country and
Europe, is alert and aggressive. Flush.
ed withthe victory of three years ago
it will seek by every means in Its power
to maintain its supremacy.
Democrats must be up and doing.
They must wage an unceasing war up
on their enemies. In no better and
more effective way can this be done
than by the circulation of good, sound
democratic newspapers. The publisher
of the Chicago Dispatch, the great natl
onal democratic weekly, will send to
every new subscriber for three months
a copy of the Chicago Dispatch for ten
cents. If you are not already taking
the great political weekly, send in ten
cents at once. You should not only do
this yourself, but you should induce all
your friends to join with you. By q
little effort you can easily raise club
of ten or twenty subscribers.

The voluntary release of the Amer

and the kindness shown them during

Leader to ask: "Has Otis faithful Ger
berus in the censor Office fallen asleep?
If not, how does it happen that the
news was allowed to come through
that the Filipinos have voluntarily re.
turned the American prisoners they
have captured, and that the said pris-
oners declare they have been most kind
ly and gently treated by the savage and
uncivilized natives? Is not General
Otis aware that such news is calculated
to work injury to the administration,

that nothing which would "injure the

The tramp problem has got to be met
sooner or later, and the present is an
opportune time to settle it. Work can
be had anywhere, and the man who is
tramping does SO from choice and not
from necessity. Hardly day passes
some one is not killed or robbed by
these miscreants. "Put it down as a
fact" says the Msrshalltown Times Re-
publican, "that 80 per cent. of the
tramps in Iowa today are nothing more
or less than highwaymen. The honest
tramp, the one really seeking work, has
found it. This 80 per cent is tramping
to avoid work. Again, large percent
age of these highwaymen are armed
with revolvers and other weapons.
Press reports show that they shoot with
little provocation peace officers and citi-
zens. Once more it can be stated with
no exaggeration that life and property
are not safe in any railroad yard in
Iowa quarter of mile from the depot
after night. Travellers who ride on
freight trains and get out Of caboose
in the night little distance from the
depot are only safe from tramps when
there is party of two or more to walk
together down to the depot, and this is
no idle warning. Travellers in Iowa
now take great chances of being held
up If they get off trains at any time
after 8 o'clock in the evening. Wehave-
many functions in Iowa where the de-
pot is the only building sometimes for
mile away. There is no night oper-
ator and these functions are tramp
headquarters. All trains have to stop
for these crossings and tramps can thus
get out in any direction. The reader
should bear in mind all this in Iowa, in
1899, not in Italy, where brigandage
aourishes."

The Cause Of the Deficit in the Post
Office Department.

The Cause Of the Deficit in the Post
Office Department.
James L. Cowles, in his book, "a
General Freight and Passenger Post"
points out one of the causes of the an
nual deficit in the post office depart
ment. He calls attention to the fact
that express companies carry all sorts
of parcels from the domiciles of
the people in New York to the rail-
way stations, thence by rail Thousand
miles to Chicago, and there make de-
livery at the domiciles at a rate of 80
per hundred pounds, but. the rail
ways charge the government SO per
hundred pounds for the transportation
of mail bags for an average haul of
442 miles. And the government pays
the men who handle mail matter,
while the express companies pay tire
men who do their work.
One would naturally think that the
railway companies would be satisfied
with these exhorbitant charges for
carrying the mails, but such is not the
case. The rapacious greed of these
corporations reaches nearly to the level
of robbery in the rentals charged and
collected for the cars In which the
mail matter ig carried.
Postmaster General Villas called the
attention of congress to the fact that
the average value of the postal cars
used by the government did not exceed
$500. The 342 cars in use and 80 held
in reserve, when Mr.. Villas made his re-
port, were not worth, If they were all
new, more than $1,6OO,OOO, yet at that
time the government was paying a
yearly rental for these cars lin, addi-.
tion to the amount paid for carrying
the maiD Of $1,ssl, $50, which was
more than it would cost to manu-
facture the cars. The reports of Post.
master General Wanamaker show that
these abuses are, If anything, on the
increase. The average life of one of
these cars is about 20 years; hence, at
these rates of rental, the government
pays about $50 600 rent for car that
only costs $500 to manufacture.
Instead of striking boldly at these
gigantic abuses, we presume that as
soon as congress meets again, the
average peanut congressman will make
another attempt to prevent the country
newspaper publishers from sending out
q few sample copies of their papers at
the same rates of postage they pay on
papers sent to regular subscribers.
