Star Pointers Record of 1:59 IA

Columbus. o.. Aug. THE feature of the
closing day of the Grand Circuit harness
meet was the successful attempt Of the I'M
defeated pacing stallion, Dan Patch, to beat
the record of his sire. Joe Patchen, 2:01A.
Driven by his trainer. Myron McHenry.
the handsome brown horse circled the track
in 2:O024. half n second faster than his slre's
| record. The quarters were as follows: 81:
%; BOZ; 3g5s.
The horse finished pulled up. and there
is no doubt that he could have made the
mile in two minutes fiat. or even faster, IL
McHenry had driven him out in the last
quarter.
The track was lightning fast. and the
weather was calm, when McHenry brought
the great stallion out for the trial. He
scored down once. and the next time was
sent away. accompanied by a runner.
The first quarter around the turn was
paced in 81. When he turned into the back
stretch McHenry let him fly, and the half
was reached in one minute fit. The third
quarter, around the upper turn, was
reached in 1:3eA. and the horse was going
so easily when he Strengthened away for
the wire that 1t was evident that he could
Horse Pulled Up at the Wire.
About fifty yards from the wire McHenry
began to pull Dan and though he succeeded ssed
was reached. the mile was finished in 20osa.
Mr.. Henry made the following statement
after the trial:
My Intention was to drive Patch a mile
c:ose to 2:o1A. but not quite reaching that
mark. thus escaping the penalty of the
record and leaving the horse in the 2:et
class. He was so good. however. and paced
SO easily that we made faster time than 1
intended. When / saw that he was certain
to beat old Joe's mark, l tried to stop him
but could not slow him in time.
Il am sorry now that /. did not drive him
, out. for l am sure that he could have come
to the last quarter in 0:29 or better, equal
ing OF lowering Star Pointers record OF

over.

FAIR PROPOSITION.

Referring to the repeated proposition
of the anthracite coal miners to arbi-
trate all questions in dispute and if their
position is declared untenable they will
return to the mines and resume work,
the Cleveland Leader remarks that moth
ing could be fairer, more temperate or
more convincing of the righteousness of
the miners cause. That paper argues
that men do not take such a position
when they are striving for a little more
than $500 a year as pay for work in
mines, unless they know their case needs
only a hearing and a just decision.
The Leader declares that the position
of the president of the mine workers
union is unanswerable by any men who
refuse to submit their cause to an m
partial tribunal and says that under such
conditions the coal companies must ar
bitrate or stand condemned for mean
ness. greed and injustice before the bar
of public opinion. They must meet
President Mitchell half way or feel the
weight of national contempt and disgust.
Nor is It the only sentiment which they
will have to encounter. If they stand
o~bstinately. against any concession or
arbitration, refusing to submit their
cause to an impartial court, they VIII
surely be held accountable for whatever
evils may result to the country at large
The operators have absolutely rejected
arbitration, showing in this an utter In
difference to the public ir+erests, n 1t
Is time that public sentiment regarding
their course was given the most vigorous
expression. Their refusal to arbitrate,
If not a confession that they fear the
result would be adverse to them, is to be
explained only on the ground that to
submit the dispute to arbitration would
involve recognition of the union and
h are bent on destroying that organ
ization. With that attitude the great ma
iority of the public can hav no SYM
patty under existing conditions. HAD
the miners refused to arbitrate popular
feeling regarding their case would be
different, but having attested their con
fdence in the justice and reasonableness
of their demands by proposing arbitra-
ton and agreeing to return to work II
the verdict should be against them, pub
lie sentiment is very largely on the side
of the miners.

HARMONY AND NARROWING.

Philadelphia Press: 1t is hardly worth
while for Bryan to tire himself out throw
ing things at David b. Hill. Hill is too ex-
perlenced a dodger to let anything hit him.
Indianapolis News: Every democratic
leader processes to want harmony, but he
continues to toot his own horn In utter dis
regard of the other members of the band.
Chicago Tribune: Grover Cleveland's
ponderous phrases have a way Of persisting,
nevertheless. 1t will take Editor Bryan a
long time to get out of that shadow Of
predestined defeat"
Washington Post: Mr.. Cleveland's speech
was singularly free from platitudes and he
didn't make the mistake OF talking too long.
Happy is the orator who has something to
say and knows how to say It without re-
peating himself.
Chicago Post: BY the way, Mr.. Bryan does
not tell us what he would do for the sake OF
harmony, what sacrifices he would make
and what position he would recommend as
the middle ground. II is the story OF the
mote and the beam again.
indianapolis Journal: Mr.. Bryan may find
a crumb of comfort in the fact that the
Maine democracy has endorsed "the last
democratic national platform" but, then,
the Maine democracy is a feeble folk and
never knows what 1T is doing.
Kansas City Journal: However, the lem
ocratic party Is not obliged to follow either
Cleveland or Bryan. AS leaders they are
both has-beens. Both brought It disaster
Cleveland with his administration and
Bryan with his platform. 1t would do well
to look up a new Moses not recommended
by either.

democratic politicians Of Illinois calling
each other ''pinheads and boodlers," with
Tom L. johnson demanding a 3-cent plank

ORIGIN OF A QUARREL.
why President Cleveland and Editor
WattersOn Fell Out.

"attersOn Fell Out.
]. B. Mccormick, a we'll known CORE
spondent who writes under the pen name
Macon" gives the following account of
the origin of the GOODNESS between Henry
Watterson and Grover Cleveland:
"It is well within the memory of middle
aged men when Grover Cleveland was
president of the United States and Henry
Watterson, editor of the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal, was one OF his chief friends
and advisers, and not, as he now is. one of
his severest critics. In those days Mr..
watterson was persona grata at the White
House and its frequent visitor. In one Of
these visits President Cleveland, who could
not spare the time himself from his ON
cial duties, requested the editor to escort
Mrs. Cleveland to the theater. Mr.. Wat
terson gladly complied. The star was
Clara Morris, and the presidents wife was
delighted with her performance, 80 much
SO that she expressed a strong desire to
meet the actress That is easily enough
arranged said Mr.. Watterson. She and
l are old friends; I'll send her q note and
tell her Of your wish. She will be de-
lighted to meet you
Accordingly, the note was written and
dispatched to Miss Morris by one OF the
ushers. In a few minutes II was answered,
as Mr.. Watterson had anticipated, and at
the end OF the act the editor escorted Mrs.
Cleveland behind the scenes and into Miss
Morris dressing room. where he intro
duced the first lady OF the land and the
emotional actress, OF course, Miss Morris
treated Mrs. Cleveland with the greatest
consideration. After the performance Mr..
watterson escorted Mrs. Cleveland back to
the White House. oh. Grover exclaimed
Mrs. Cleveland, 4 have had a delightful
time. l not only saw Miss Morris act, but
/ met her personally, and found her a
charming lady The information was not
as pleasant to the president as his spouse
expected. On the contrary, his brow
clouded, and. turning to Mr.. Watterson he
said, in tones OF anger: When / conhded
my wife to your care l expected you tc
give her all the protection that your age
and experience would call for. If my wife
desired to meet Mis- Morris you had q
private box. and you certainly could have
had them brought together in it. You
should not have taken Mrs. Cleveland be-
hind the scenes and into the actress
dressing room. Such a proceeding was un'
dignihed. and not the protection / had thu
right to expect you to give her. Yo'
should not have gratined what was NOR
the prank OF a school girl than the be
hayior OF the first lady Of the land, AM
you should have protected her against he
own folly
There was more said by the president o
the same tenor. had this story from
Mr.. Watterson's own lips. This was one o
the first causes OF the break in the friend
ship which up TO that time had existed be
tween the president and the editor. NoN
II Is doubtful II it will ever be restored"

CUBAN


1t appears highly probable that there
will be no action by congress at this ses-
sion in regard to Cuban reciprocity and
that the matter will be left in the hands
of the president to negotiate a treaty,
which may be sent either to an extra
session of the senate or await action at
the regular session. There seems to be
no prospect of the republican factions in
the senate getting together on this ques-
ton, and if they do not it is said to be
reasonably certain that the president
will exercise his authority under the
treaty-making provision of the constitu-
ton and negotiate a treaty with the gov
eminent of Cuba for reciprocal exchange
Of products. Having done this he might
call a special session of the senate to
pass upon the treaty.
All statements coming from Washing
ton in regard to this matter are to the
effect that the president has not abated
his strong convictions as to the duty Of
the government to do something for the
assistance Of Cuba industrially and COM
mercially and will continue to make
every effort to bring this about. He has
certainly had strong encouragement to
adhere to this position in the declara-
lions of republican state conventions.

FAREWELL TO WAR TAXES.
Ease with which the Nation Bore
the Extra Burden.
(Philadelnhia Record.O

War revenue taxation has but few days
more Of statutory existence, except as to
the tea tax, which will be imposed, for
trade reasons, until January / next. The
special tax on bucket shops" and trans
actions by bucket shop methods has been
retained, not for it's revenue producing
quality, but rather as an expression OF
legislative d~isfavor. This tax has had no
effect upon the current OF small specula-
ton. The bucket shops pay 1t, and
flourish the while like green bay trees.
II neither regulates nor represses the bust
ness, but rather fortihes and encourages
1t. Mixed flour taxes, and the regulations
accompanying them, also remain unre-
pealed, with a broader definition OF the
article, designed for the protection OF the
-four export trade.
All other provisions OF the act OF June
10, 1898, and it's amendments, except as
to excise taxes on fermented liquors and
tobacco, will pass into disuse on July l
next. Beer will pay 81 per barrel, as
under the old law; and the former rates
on manufactures OF tobacco, with draw
back OF excess tax paid on stock on hand,
will be imposed. The heavy hand Of fed
eraI taxation, in short, will vex the business
OF the country no more until another war
period shall supervene. How marked is
the difference between the real reduction
and the sham reduction OF the act OF
March 2, 1901, will be disclosed early In
the coming government year. So smoothly
ran the machinery and so insidious and
indirect were the methods OF this device
for raising a war fund that public com
plant Of its exactions was reduced TO a
minimum. Under its operations a vast
| surplus revenue flowed into the public
treasury, tempting congress to indulge In
schemes Of unmeasured extravaganza by
which the national revenues for years to
come have been practically mortgaged and
a standard OF p~rofuse and inordinate pub
lie expenditure established.
The absolute ease with which the bur-
den Of temporary heavy war taxes was
borne surprised even those optimistic econ
omists who delight in rolling the national
wealth as a sweet morsel under their
tongues. There was no way Of measuring
at the outset the ratio Of possible de-
mand, so the federal lawmakers took care
to make the additional revenue ample
enough to meet all contingencies. But
their most sanguine estimates were far
outrun by the results OF the first years
levy, while the sudden termination OF hos
tflities with Spain and the complications
of the Filipino revolt only served TO ac-
centuate the ofheial thriftiness Of legis-
lators who saw in the assurance OF peace
only a pretezt for further exactions. So fRT
as a sound condition Of the public treas
ury Is concerned, the restoration OF the
internal tar system prevailing before thS
war might have been safely accomplished
two YEARS ago.
