One of the features of Fridays race
matinee will be a four and half fur
long sprint for all ages, and the fast
est sprinters now at the track will
participate in this event. There are
a number of horses at the track which
will enter this event, that are hardly
in condition to go in races at longer
distances just now.
Jim Hand, who has his horses here,
but who has been in New Orleans for
some weeks, will reach Savannah to-
morrow or next day. bringing with him
a number of horses that he claimed at
the New Orleans meeting. All of
these horses are fit. and some of them
will be started in the races Friday.
The racing management has decided
to make every inducement for the Ia
dies to attend the races, and on

DIAMOND DUST.

President Hart of the Chicago Ma
tionals has returned to Chicago from
the National League meeting in New
York. While there he traded Jack
Taylor to the st. Louis Club for Pitch
err Mordecai Brown and Catcher John
O'Neill, thus getting a complete bat
terry for his star pitcher of last season.
The trade will probably result in the
release of Catcher MCLEAN, and while
Mr.. Hart would not concede it, it is
probable that the big catcher will also
go to st. Louis.

versy. The whole question relates to the proposition as to whether condi- tions have changed since the Dingley law was enacted sufficiently to justify a change in the law. Can anybody doubt that they have? Were ever con- ditions so radically changed as Amer icar business conditions have been by the Dingley law? Six years ago when the law was drafted we were industri- ally flat on our backs. The lively action of our heels was the only sign that we were alive. We were simply kicking-marking time in the air. Clevelandlsm had made us a pathetic spectacle in the eyes of the world. To- day we are or our feet, full of life and energy, anu marching at the head of the worlds procession. Our fires are burning, our wheels are turning, we have more orders than we can fill. and boom times spell the situation every where. Some duties that were pro tective and fully authorized six years ago are today little more than gratui- ties. They no longer properly have place in the beneicent scheme of pro- lection and should be eliminated. as MT. Mckinley recommended at Buff falo.'
 There is nothing to be added to this concise review of the case. Whatever of tariff changes may be demed neces- sary can be made with more safety to the country by the republicans than by a democratic administration that would be hostile to every principle of the re- publican party. The tariff schedules as they now stand have not interfered in any sense at all with the growth of cur home and foreign trade. The ex- ports of manufactures are remarkabl and the mills and shops of the country have plenty of work on hand and in sight.

Ignorance In Russia.

It is generally conceded that Russia is a great world power, but there is one barrier to her becoming the great dom mating nation that her statesmen have long sought to make her. That one barrier is the ignorance of her masses, While every other resource seems to be at her command. they must fail to be wisely utilized. while ignorance pre- vails to so great an extent. The off cial statistics show that there are IT, GOO, ,OGO children between the ages of six and fourteen receiving absolutely no education This would indicate a cor responding ignorance on the part of parents. Such a people never can be an influential people. beyond the in fluence of physical force Even the religious freedom recently reported granted must be supplemented by education in order to wield an ex- tensive influence. Unless educated the Russians will continue to be the vic tims of religious superstition and mili- tary rule.
Arizona republican., 1903-06-12

The people of Amesville, O., thought it great fun to elect a whiskey-loving dwarf to the mayoralty. Their idea was that they could easily induce him to resign. When they found him de- termineG to cling to the office and sal ary, there was an end of the laughter. They petitioned the governor to remove him. Prom what I have been able to learn about this case" replies the gov ernor, this man seems to have been elected mayor as a sort of joke. The people knew his characteristics just as well when they voted for him as they did afterward. They deliberately made their own Led by electing this man mayor of their town, and I think they ought to learn that the election of a mayor is not a joke that it is a very solemn act, and if they deliberately proceed to elect such man mayor of their town they must stand the conse- quences."
