| NEWSPAPERS FIRST DUTY.

The Philadelphia American expresses
our opinion precisely when it says !:
1.-The primary duty of a newspaper is
the informing and enlightening of its
readers by the presentation of full and
accurate news and by honest and
fearless comment thereon. This duty,
when well and faithfully performed.
wins the confidence of the reading
public and is the measure of the in
fuence of the newspaper. Fidelity
to the public whose servants it is and
a rectitude of purpose not to be swerved
by fear or favor or selfish interest are
the only foundations upon which a
journal can build lasting and potent
character, and in the newspaper world,
as in private life, it is character that
counts. Circulation is the incident
and result of such high aims faith
fully carried out, and with circulation
comes business prosperity. But the
of all is character. Charac
ter attracts and retains the readers,
and the advertiser seeks the readers .

A bill has become a law in New
York state appropriating 500, 900 for a
Mckinley monument at Buffalo. No
such expenditure of the peoples money
is right, either in law or morals. A
legislature has no more right to build
a monument to an individual with the
public money, than it would have to
confscate another individuals private
property to their own use. Millions of
dollars have been appropriated and ex-
pen1ed in this way, but it is an abuse
of the taxing power, illegal, unjust an d
immoral.

SARATOGA RACES.
Grey Friar Easily Won Grand Union
Hotel Stakes.

The wheel of chance turned for Frank H
Hitchcock yesterday at Saratoga, and his
two-year-old gelding Grey Friar, by St
George-Una b, won the Grand Union Ho-
tel stakes at the liberal odds of 12 to 1. The
day was bright and warm, after a success
sion of chilly days, and a crowd of 10000
persons saw the race, which was won rather
easily by two lengths. Grey Friar leading
all the way and going away at the end.
Judith Campbell was second and White
chapel third. The result of the stake was
most unexpected. The Keene stable added
Rigodon, who Is supposed to be Futurity
candidate, but has never shown good form
in public, though he has started several

When the barrier went up the tape almost

Acrobats chances, if he had any, were
gone. Burns rode Grey Friar so hard with
his heels that he leaped into the lead in
the first six jumps Then Judith Campbell
sifted out Of the mob and pressed the lead
er hard, with Sailmaker and Bounding
Beauty close up. Going around the turn
somebody crowded Bullman so badly that
he had to take Sailmaker up bit. Mean
time Landry was waiting for Grey Friar
to stop, but Grey Friar refused to oblige
him. Instead, it was the filly that stopped,

In the entire ring over 50 100000 is gener-

CATCHER o'coNNoR SUSPENDED.
Helping American League Secure
Pittsburg Players.

A special from Pittsburg says that
Catcher Jack O'Connor of the Pittsburg
club has been suspended by President
Dreyfuss, being charged with a violation
of contract. in that he dickered with Ban
johnson and other American League rep
resentatives who went to Pittsburg to
secure some of the clubs players. Drey
fuss says:
Tuesday night c. w. Somers. vice presi-
dent of the American League, came to
Pittsburg on a 'gumshoe mission. With
him was President Johnson. who came to
aid his partner. OConnor l know, visited
the depot when they arrived from Cieye
land.
This morning O'Connor appeared at
the hotel with one of our unsigned players,
and later on with another of our players,
whom he conducted to johnson and Som
ers. Subsequently meeting was held in
a room in Allegheny with two more of our
players. with O'Connor again present.
IF any of our players choose to leave at
the expiration of their contracts, well and
good, but l will not stand treachery from
anybody while in my employ. No player
can be stool pigeon from the American
League and draw salary from the Pitts
burg club at the same time.
Dreyfuss added that Phillip, Leever
Doheny, Merritt, BranSteld, -Ritchey, Wag-
ner, Beaumont, Clarke and Sebring have
signed contracts for 1903, and that Smith
and thinner have accepted terms.
