NEWSPAPER OPINION
A Vast Corruption Fund

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
II is apparent that the leaders OF the
Quay shbridge machine are becoming
seriously alarmed over the political
outlook in this city. The results OF
the Democratic State convention were
naturally disappointing to them, and
ii is more clearly evident daily that
the movement for the reelection Of
Rothermel and The other candidates on
the Union ticket is growing stronger.
No one doubts that the machine will
resort to the most desperate measures,
whether legal or otherwise, to stem the
rising tide OF revolt and to secure the
election of the entire alleged Repub-
lican ticket. One of the first indications
Of the lengths to which 1t is deter
mined TO go is the vast campaign fund
which 1T is proposed to raise. About
Si,000,0O0 is the sum named as neces.
sary to carry the election in Novem-
Der, and between 100000 and 100000
OF this is to be raised by assessing the
ofticeholders and placemen to the ex-
tent of or 31s per cent of their an
nual pay The remainder of the sum,
is TO be furnished by the keepers of
brOthels, speak-easies and other dis

The Famous Midway.

Bostock's show Of wild animals is
worthy OF especial mention. This COL
lection represents an outlay OF over half
a million dollars, and its equal does not
exist anywhere In the world. Nothing
else as fine in the way Of display of a
high order of animal intelligence and
the expert control of savage beasts has
ever been known. To witness dozen
or more huge lions, band OF Bengal
tigers, jaguars, panthers, leopards,
looking as II they we're fresh from their
native jungles, brought into the arena
and put through series OF astonishing
feats and evolutions, is to learn a lesson
OF the things possible to infinite skill,
patience, tact and knowledge OF animal
nature. The performances OF the box
ing kangaroo, the enormous snakes,
the elephants, zebras, hyenas and the
camels, in this enclosure bear further
testimony OF like order. More unique
perhaps than these and not less wonder
full as evidences Of animal intelligence,
are the performances Of Esau, the chin
panzee, who comes as near furnishing
ocular and positive evidence Of Darwin's
famous theory as may, perhaps, be de-
sired, and in some ways seems nearer
the line Of the human than any other
animal along the Midway.-Clipping
