The street fair again attracted the
crowds last night and the result was
that the attendance at the saucer was
not what it Should have been. The
sport was good. however. and the three
races in trial and final heats, making
in all nine events. We're we'll contested
and exciting. The best race Of the nigif
was the mile and onehaif professional
handicap. Its finish was SO close that
the riders We're all punched when the
tape was crossed on the final lap.
Hoffman. speedy California amateur,
got another surprise last night, when he
was defeated by three local amateurs.
The defeat was administered in the half
mile amateur handicap and was du-.
principally, to the fact that Hofr'an
made a mistake on the distance covered.
He thought he was entering on his third
lap when in reality it was the last and
as he figured he had enough time to
overtake the bunch he did not work par
ticularly hard. He was much surprised
when the race was over to find that he
had miscalculated and as a result was
in no better than fourth position.
There will be no races tonight. The
summary Of last night races follows:

What the Gallopers Did.
There was little of more than passing
interest at the track yesterday, after
this report closed. The third race fur
nished tn excitement of the day as was
stated yesterday afternoon and the diff
ference of opinion, regarding the result
of the race served only to break the
monotony of the scorching day. There
are many who still insist that Pirate
Maid got the worst of the decision and
there are others who are equally posi-
tive that Cayenne Pepper showed in
front. Among the latter is the owner of
Pirate Maid, who backed his horse to
win.
The fourth race saw the favorite, Rio
Chico. at to !, second to Donator
against whom as good as to was ob
tainable. Linden Ella, at to l, was
third The time was 1:431a.
In the fifth race the favorite, Monda

THE REPUBLICAN VIEW OF IT.

Referring to the connection among some Of the par
tan republican newspapers caused by the assertion
of President Shaer of the steel workers to the effect
that the failure of the strike will greatly njure the
publican party, the Pittsburg Leader says
Considering that the presidential campaign is still
three Oft the of Mr. Shalers conditional fore
certainly great the solemn discussion to
which it has given rise would suggest.
Between aud there time for changes OF the
sweeping character both i'll the industrial field and in
politics here is time for conditions to establish them
selves and for issues be developed There time for
the steel trust either TO make itself mpregnabe to
saer itself to pieces Hence predictions that be
ventured the state of public sentiment when the next
president TO be chosen of very little value.
If thunderbo is fall and wreck the republican party
it fall in the presidential year, unless have
series of ruiuous thundebos all falling in the
from this time which is the least doubtful
supposton 1t must not be forgotten that labor
has happy faculty of recovering its and

This is the way in which thoughtful republican
newspapers look at it, in the light OF the expert
of the last two presidential elections who there
to dispute the correctness of the view? The great
steel trust is the direct result of the policies Nc
Kinley administration, and who more than the work

EFFECT OF Low OIL RATES.
use?

IT, owing to the reduction made in the rate for the
transportation of crude petroleum, it has become
essary for the coal and Ignite mine operators of the
Indian Territory Arkansas and Texas to shade their
prices in order to stay in the market, with
reason complain
It is presumable that they know their own business
best and have clear idea of how far they go in
that direction in legitimate endeavor to meet the
competition of the Beaumont product.
Any step they may take to cheaper the cost of fuel
will be of benefit to Texas consumers without
rily njurng the coal and Ignite business for lower
prices win have stimulating effect upon consumption
and enlarge the demand for the product of the mines
With such a prospect in mind it is nconceivable
that of the attorneys who represented the coal
Ignite people before the railroad commission recently
in opposition to reduction in the oil rate should give
1t out that his principals going to with the pc
roeum producers, determined to them of bust
1t is possible that the gentleman referred has
been msQuoted, but he has undoubtedly said enough
indicate that it is not entirely out of regard the
consumer that cut in the price Of coal and Ignite is
contemplated. And, if it is true, ntmated in Ger
tain reports, that of the and Ignite carrying
railroads in the retaate upon the oil
producers for having succeeded in getting the railroad
commission to recognize their claims for rates that
will enable them to the State there no escap
ing the conclusion that Texas has up to the present
time been at the mercy of hardfsted monopoly in the
fuel line.
Fortunately, all threats to drive petroleum out of
the market idle. Under present conditions 1t can
be sold at profit at prices way below where it can be
met by coal and Ignite. weakening of the flow of
the Beaumont wells, and failure to discover new pro
ducing territory, would, of course help the coal and
Ignite mine operators out but should they actually
in price cutting to the extent their representa-
tives promise they will find themselves in sorry po
stion to advance in the supply of oil
dimnishes enough to affect its marketable value
So also. with the railroads If, in fact they lend q
hand in the proposed oil for after having cut
rates to help coal and Ignite destroy petroleum there
would be little for them upon which to base defense
CT restoration thereof.
1t is plain, therefore, that the reduction in the pc
troleum rate will prove permanently beneficial 1t.
immediate effect will be to place on within reach of al
consumers. Its secondary effect will be to force Goa
and Ignite down where their use will not prove ruin
GUS in case the oil supply fails.
