FouNTAIN-saUARE MEETING.
Probably Largest of Democratic
Gatherings-RuGian and an Egg.

Gatherings-RuGinn and nm Egg.
The Democrats had another meeting last
night. 1t was, in point of numbers, by rea-
son of the location. the largest gathering
at which Mr.. Taggart's corps of laudatory
speakers has appeared. The meeting was
at Fountain square, where the Ninth, Thir-
tenth and Fourteenth wards join. Ii was
the big meeting of the campaign for them,
just as meetings at the same place have
been for several years. There were several
hundred persons gathered about the stand
which had been erected, and the Demo-
Gratis thought all there were Democratic
sympathizers and supporters of the candi-
dates on their ticket. 1t was noticed, how
ever. that on the few occasions when re-
marks were greeted with applause that the
expression was limited 10 a very small
number of people. In view of the fact that
the three wards are claimed by the Demo-
Gratis as strong Democratic wards, the
showing was gratifying TO a large NUMBER
of Republicans who were there.
The same old talk was heard. Personal
attacks upon Mr.. Bookwalter and the
candidates, together with praise OF Mayor
Taggart and his administration OF city al
fairs and those on the ticket with Mr.. Ma
guire were the used To Influence
voters. j. +. Mccullough provided a little
novelty by injecting some national politics
into his speech.
The speakers were Frank Baker. a young
lawyer. City Clerk Geckler. John W. Holtz-
man, J. r. Mccullough and Mayor Tag
CART. who praised his own work as chief
executive of the city and forgot TO tell any
thing about what might be expected from
the candidates this year I'm the event OF
their election. Contrary TO his custom. he
spoke not more than ten minutes. During
this time some ruffianly fellow out of the
crowd threw an egg at him. The missile
went wide of its mark and struck a listener
on the back. Once before. during the talk
of City Clerk Geckler. another egg was
thrown. but il failed to stop in the crowd.

An order of Postmaster General Smith,
which went into effect Oct. l, denies the re-
turn at second-class rates of mail matter
sent as second-class matter but not sold.
1t refuses second-class rates to books which
have been sent as periodicals, and to Pc
riodicals which live by Offering prizes and
premiums and not by the value or interest
of their contents. The rule permits sec
ond-class rates to real periodicals, on the
ground that they treat of current topics
and that their work is educational and
beneficial. This is a most important order;
in fact, a great reform which will rid the
mails of tons of matter which does not
pay, and will make the postal service self
supporting and offer means for the extern
sion of rural free delivery. For a dozen
years postmasters general have urged Con-
gress TO do this by law, but To the dis
credit of that body il could not bring itself
10 such needed legislation. Postmaster
General Smith conceived the idea of doing
by order what should have been done by
law. Those who have been sending car
loads Of rubbish as ~second-class matter
will probably try to induce Congress to re-
woke the postmaster generals order, but it
is believed they will not succeed.

Not a Choice between Machines.

Indiana Weekly.
The indianapolis News misstates the
situation and bellies the truth when il
says that the election in Indianapolis Oct.
s is only a choice between two political ma
chimes.

known to be a combination of the brewer
les, the gamblers, the panderers to vice
and the corporations that fatten of city
franchises. That the gamblers and the
saloons are protected I'm violation of law

both parties. IL is for Mr.. B~ookwalter, but
has not the political and pecuniary cour-
age TO support him openly and fairly.

The international yacht race has resulted
in a brilliant victory for the American
boat. British yachtsmen had failed so
often TO capture the Americas cup. and
Sir Thomas Upton had spent so much time
and money in preparing for this contest
that many persons felt he would probably
win. But American skill and seamanship
have proved too much for the British again,
as they often have before. 1t was hardly
to be expected that the Columbia would win
the first three races i'm succession, and
that against confessedly the fastest yacht
ever sent across the ocean, but she has. and
thereby the contest. The victory should
be all the more gratifying TO Americans.
because Shamrock III developed remarkable
sailing powers and all the races were very
close. The Columbia had a worthy an
tagonist, but she won CALAMITY, though
not easily. 1t will require remarkable
pluck and persistence for Sir Thomas Lip
ton to try it again, not to speak of the
tremendous drain on his purse.
