Didn't See the winning Horse.

The night bartender finished wiping the
glasses, while the seedy sport looked on .
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. A deeper
gloom than usual had settled over the
sport and he sighed heavily
WHAT'S that for?" asked the bartender
"Oh, I was thinking how I got done up
one time away back in 81. Talk about
your hard luck stories,"
What's this-another?"
We'll, I don't often kick but If this
amt the worst you ever heard I'll buy
You remember when they were running on
the Gloucester track. 1 was there of
course, and went broke. One night I was
In joint kept by friend of mine, and
fell asleep in wine room.
When 1 woke up I heard talking in the
next room. They were racing men and
were talking about the track being shut
down after the next day. They were go
ing to fix the next days races SO as to
make some money. I listened and got the
whole thing down fine.
After they left 1 induced my friend to
put in $50, and the next day I went out to
bring the track home with me. I got to
the track early, and looked around awhile
Juggler was the horse they had fixed to
win the first race, and he was TO 1.
put up the whole Wad-$30-twenty to win
and ten place.
They got off all right, but you couldn't
see 10 loiloW them around the track for
the rain and fog. While / was standing
by the rail horse came flying by and
saw ii was Jugger. Coming up on the
inside rail, fifteen lengths behind him.
there was a pretty finish, four horses in
a bunch. and I'll be blowed if the judges
didn't let Juggler get clear away from
them while they were watching the 9TH
ers. Never saw him go by at all, and
gave the race to the fellow that stuck
his nose in front of the bunch. What do
you think of that?
"Of course there was an awful kick
made, but the judges hadn't seen Juggler
go by and that settled 1t. If 1t hadn't
been for those fool judges I'd be mill
ionalre to-day"

FIGHTING FOR THE SURPLUS.

The House on wednesday refused TO
make any appropriation for the pnsumatic
mail tube service. which is now In opera
ton In Boston, New York and Philadel-
phia- The appropriation for this service
last year was $2z5 900. This year an ap-
preparation of s7.5. 600 was asked. 1t seems
that the only asset the Pneumatic Tube
Company has Is les contract with the gov
eminent, and the inference from what
was said in the debate on the motion TO
strike out the appropriation was that the
company was planning to get from the
government appropriations amounting to
millions OF dollars annually And 1t seems
that the service Is of doubtful benefit and
that there is a suspicion that the govern
ment was induced to use it in the first
instance by questionable methods.
During the debate it was stated on the
floor of the House. that there was pres
sure from every side to get a share of
the surplus which is piling up in the
treasury The surplus now amounts TO
about $3.50. 900 600, and the Secretary Of the
Treasury says that for the coming year
It will be fully $50, 10000 Why is it that
the Republican party shows no disposition
to cut down the war taxes? Ii is very
well known that surplus is an invitation
to extravaganza. congressman don't like
the idea of adjourning as long as there is
a dollar in the treasury unappropriated.
There is a pension bill pending, which,
Il is believed. the Republicans will sup
port. 1t is being vigorously pushed by
pension attorneys, and is said to be re-
garded with favor by many of the Re-
publican congressman. 1t calls for first
payment of about $50 900, 900, and an an
nual expenditure of about $39 900. 900. If
this bill should become a law there would
be no reduction Of war taxes, or, if a re-
duction, a very light one, because of the
great increase in the appropriation for
pensions. The annual pension appropria-
ton, instead of being S1400OO,00), as az
present. would be about S1So,OOO,OOO It
may be that the Republicans will be
afraid to pass this bill at this session,
because such an increase In the pension
burden, for War of Secession pensioners,
would create so much dissatisfaction that
the chances of the Republican party for
retaining control of the government would
be greatly lessened. But 1t would not
be surprising if there should be promises
to pass this bill in the event that the
Republican party was kept in power.
The way 90 avoid axtravagance is to
cut down the taxes and thus get rid OF
the surplus. VIII the party in power lop
off some of the war taxes? 1t does not
look so now.

A CHANCE FOR DEWEY.

writer In Golfers Weekly sees a
chance for the nomination OF Admiral
Dewey at Kansas City. He says that Mr..
Bryan. being an honest man and extremely
anxious for the success Of his PARTY. m,y
make up his mind before the Democratic
National Convention meets ito play to-
ward Admiral Dewey the part that James
Monroe played toward James Madison in
1872 and which Henry Clay played to-
ward John quincy Adams in the winter OF
1s24-25." The writer further says that II
Mr.. Bryan should not think IT advisab Bile
to step aside In favor OF Admiral Dewey it
would still be possible for Admiral Dew
ey to get the nomination. He points our
that it is probable that, after consideration
is given to Dewey's candidacy, a very
large portion of the delegates TO the Dem
ocratic National Convention Will lie IN
pledged and that 1t will be a comparative
~ easy matter to sweep the delegates off
their feet in the Admirals behalf.
Evidently the writer of the Collier ar
ticle has more sentiment in his intellectual
makeup than hard. practical sense. In
the first place it is not supposable that Mr..
Bryan harbors the thought for an instant
that there is a Democrat who can POLL as
large a vote as he can. He believes that
he is going TO be nominated and elected.
He has been travelling about the country
ever since 1896. and he has been told every
where that the people are only waiting for
a chance to reverse their verdict of that
year. Not believing that Admiral Dewey
would poll a larger vote than he could
there is no reason why he should tell his
party that if they want to succeed in the
presidential contest they should pass him
by and nominate Admiral Dewey. And 1t
is doubtful If there are many Democrats
who think that Admiral Dewey would poll
as many votes as Mr.. Bryan.
AS to the other point-the point about
sweeping the convention off its feet-there
is nothing in it. The convention will meet
with its mind made up. In fact, the
great majority of the delegates viii be in
structed There will be no chance for re-
peating the performance that took place
in Chicago four years ago. 1t is doubtful,
even though efforts to that end Were be-
gun at once, if conventions in a sufficient
number of states could be induced 10 with
hold instructions to delegates to prevent
the nomination of Mr.. Bryan on the first
ballot. All such talk therefore as that in
dulged in by the writer of the article in
Golfers Weekly is of little or no value.
Mr.. Bryan will be nominated at Kansas
City and Mr.. Mckinley at Philadelphia. If
Admiral Dewey wants presidential NOM
nation he will have to look for it else
where than at either of those PAGES. If
he wants a vice presidential nomination he
might get his name presented to the con-
vention at Kansas City.

QUAY AND THE ADMINIsrR ALTON


Immediately after the Senate voted on
the Quay case it was said that Mr. Quay,
believing that the administrators inhu-
ence had defeated him, would try to
injure the Presidents political prospects.
If he had any such intention his friends
did not show it in the proceedings of the
Republican State Convention Of Pennsyl-
vania. According TO our dispatches yes
terday, Mr. McKinley's administration
was enthusiastically Endorsed. 1t may
be that Mr.. Quay's friends were unable
to strike the administration a blow, not
withstandng they seemed to be greatly
in the majority in the convention.
At a matter of fact, there seems to be
but two reasons for thinking that the
administration was against Mr.. Quay
in his effort to get into the Senate. One
is that Postmaster General Smith who Is
a Pennsylvania, is bitterly hostile to
Mr.. Quay, and the other is that Senator
Hanna was paired against him. While it
is true that Senator Hanna had not said
whether he would vote for Mr.. Quay or
not the latter's friends were under the
impression that he would. They got this
impression from the fact that he has at
all times appeared TO be on friendly terms
with Mr.. Quay. and it was not believed
that he was Influenced in the least by the
constitutional question which was involv-
ed And If he had been Influenced by
that question ID would have been in favor
Of Mr. Quay. because when the Corbett
case was before the Senate, involving pre-
Mr.. Corbett
II Senator Hanna had remained IN
Washington and voted for Mr.. Quay, or
II he had paired in his favor instead of
against him. Mr.. Quay would have been
seated The suggestion has been thrown
out, though, of course 1t cannot be said
that It Is based on truth, that Senator
Hanna thought 1t would be good politics
to assist in defeating Mr.. Quay for the
following reasons: II would result in Sc
curing n larger campaign fund for the
Republican parry in the presidential con-
test and it would give the impression
throughout the country that the admins
tration is against such methods as Mr..
Quay adopted 10 get into the Senate.
II is we'll known of course that one of
Mr. Quay's bltterest enemies is Mr.. John
Wanamaker. who has left no stone UNI
turned to accomplish Mr.. Quays political
downfall. It is suspected that Mr.. Wan
amaker is planning 20 get the vacant SEN
atorship He is very rich man and he
is influential with other rich men. In
raising a campaign fund he has few, If
any, equals. The administration is better
off probably with Mr.. Wanamaker as
its active friend than 1t would be with
Mr. Quay's friendship. And it is well
known that the country hasn't a very
high idea of Mr.. Quay's political methods
1t may therefore be that after all Mr.
Quay owes his defeat largely 10 the adj
m.nistration. If that Is the case he Is
aware OF IL, and he will not be happy un-
I'll he has shown Senator Hanna and the
President that he has some political
power left.
