rs BRYANISM IMPOTENTf

One of the chief arguments of the Democrats
In this part of the country in favor of voting the
Bryanite ticket is that it's success would in no
way injure the finances and credit Of the Ma
ton. The President himself cannot, they say,
alter the monetary standard nor order the free
coinage of silver. And even If a Bryanite House
of Representatives should be elected this fall,
the Republicans have and will surely keep con-
troll of the Senate, and will thus prevent any
free silver legislation. Moreover, some go so
far as to say the money question has been set
tied beyond the power Of even a Bryanite ma
jority in both houses of Congress to disturb it.
Wherefore, vote for Bryan and rebuke Nc
Kinley!
The last part of the argument is palpable
falsehood. The money question has not been
irrevocably settled. The gold standard has not
been confirmed by constitutional amendment,
but merely by act of Congress. It could at any
time be unsettled and abolished in the same
way. With Mr.. Bryan in the White House and
a Bryanite majority in each branch of Con-
gress the financial policy of the Nation could be
reversed and free coinage of silver at IS to 1 be
ordered in FIVE minutes And unless Mr.. Bryan
and his followers are wanton falsifers, that is
what would be done.
But there is, they say. no danger Of such
is simply because there is no danger of Mr..
Bryan's election to the Presidency. which latter
is a question upon which there are differences
OF expert opinion. But of this we may be as
sured, that if Mr.. Bryan should be elected there
would be the greatest danger of just such a
catastrophe as we have described. If he is
elected President, it is so probable as to be
practically certain that he will command a
Bryanite majority in the House Of Representa-
tives. No one we suppose, will dispute that.
1t is about equally probable that he will carry
the legislative tickets in enough States to give
him a majority in the Senate two years hence,
when the new Senators shall have been chosen.
The review of the Senatorial situation which
we published the other day amply demonstrated
that
Let there be no mistake and no illusions
upon the subject The success Of Mr.. Bryan
means the success Of the free silver party in
Congress- and the success Of the whole dis
honest, repudiationist Anarchist programme
adopted at Chicago four years ago and re-
adopted at Kansas City this year. That is what
every man will vote for who votes for Mr.,
Bryan.
But If this specious and dishonest argument
Of the Democrats were true, what a party IL
would be to appeal for support on the ground
that it's hands were so tied that it could do no
harm!

SOME FEATURES 0F RACING.

In these days of violent heat there is break
in the series of running races within the Dor
ders of the metropolis. From an early late in
April up to August the thoroughbreds were
competing within the limits of this city. A
breathing space is now open, and the colts and
FLIES will not resume their rivalres in this
part of the State until August 25, when the
celebrated Futurity will be decided. Owners
trainers. Jockeys and horses are now clustered
at Saratoga, the only course of celebrity at
present in use in the East, 1t is therefore a
suitable time to consider certain matters related
to racing and betting.
The season in New-York was begun with
agreeable promise, but not many days had
passed before 1t was apparent that evil intiu
ences which had their origin largely in the
betting rings and in the poolrooms were doing
mischief 1t was unwise for the State Com
mission, which has power in the allotting of
dates to permit any track to take up six days
In each week. 1t is not the custom in Great
Britain in France, in Germany, in Austria or
in Australia to keep up racing six days in
every week through a long season. 1t works
harm to continue racing without pause from
Sunday to Sunday. 1t would be better for the
sport, it would be better for everything that is
worthy and honorable on the turf, to limit the
tracks to four days in the week most In
Monmouth's most fourishing era the racing
was carried on for only three days in each
week-Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays
and as a rule, when the sport is pushed through
without interruption rest from Monday to
Saturday inclusive. abuses become numerous
and grave. When racing is conducted as a
game Of greed and grab 1t sinks into bog, and
when six days in each week are turned over to
the horses it inevitably becomes a game of
greed and of grab. Professional gamblers are so
prominent, they control so many horses in one
way or another, and arrange so many jobs,
that the sharpest oversight should be main
tanned at all times. But there has been a
lamentable falling off in the strictness Of disc-
pline and the alertness OF supervision in this
State in 1900.
The worst rascals have been bold and defiant
They have unbounded confidence in their pool
room and political pulls and in the backing Of
the men whose influence at Albany and in this
city is powerful. One well known Jockey was
put on the ground few days ago and Is not
likely to ride again this year, but there are at
least a half dozen others whose disloyal per-
formances have been so conspicuous that the
failure to infiict punishment upon them Is in
no way excusable. Certain owners and trainers
also have succeeded so far in escaping the just
penalty of their misdeeds. At Saratoga the
tricksters, schemers and jobbers are holding
high revel, and dishonest combinations have
been triumphant at the Saratoga track, which
| is owned by a well known keeper Of poolrooms.
1t is time to make examples in several cases,
and examples which will not be forgotten for
| many a day
