The Rain Played Havoc With Today's

TRACK AGAIN MUSHY

Although today's card of races at Ben
ming was above the average, the continued
downfall of rain played havoc with it. as
the numerous scratches narrowed the field
down to those ponies who have liking
for the mud. The rain has made the track
very soft, and from the many stumbles of
the horses several dangerous holes have
evidently been developed during the past
two days.
Superintendent Strahan is keeping close
watch on the track, and this morning he
again barred out the ponies from exercise
spins. At noon he sent the roller over the
mud. and as result the course looked
fairly good to the eye of the novice, but
to the expert 1t was a case Of "mush."
The patrons of the track are anxious to
turn out in large numbers with anything
like decent atmospheric conditions, but in
the face of today's gloom and moisture the
attendance again dwindled down to the
regulars The attendance from Baltimore
also small.
The action Of the stewards In depriving
Trainer Barrett of the rights of the track
was the general gossip today, and his case
was discussed from all angles.

MAY BE DORSEY FOULTZ
COLoRED MAN ARRESTED IN
CAMDEN, N. J.
Local Detectives Have Gone to Settle
the Matter Of Identi-
fcation.

A dispatch was received at police head
quarters this morning from Camden, n. d.
telling of the arrest in that city OF col
ored man supposed to be the much-"anted
Dorsey Foultz. Dorsey has been before the
public so much during the past seven years
that he hardly needs any Introduction
About Decoration day. 1896. he killed Cnas'
Robinson in the neighborhood OF 30 ana "
streets The case attracted considerable
attention at the time because of the efforts
of the police to aprrehend the murderer.
Dorsey was supposed to have lived In
sewer some days after the crime was COM
mitted and detectives watched the sewer
openings for nearly a week. NO trace OF
the fugitive murderer was ever found py
the police and 1t was believed by some
persons that his dead body was recovered
from the Potomac river and inferred In
potter's field a short time after the crime
was committed. Several times since the
tragedy was enacted the police have been
told of the presence of the fugitive at dl1-
ferent places.
Futility Of Search.
Detectives have made trips to other juris-
dictions in search of him. The mountains
and caves in the vicinity Of Harper's Ferry
have been explored, but the badly wanted
Dorsey always failed to materialize. When
Capt. Boardman received the dispatch this
morning he sent for officers who are sup
posed to be acquainted with Dorsey. Po-
nceman Kelly was among those summoned,
1t Is reported, and detectives who had
known him in his earlier days were ques-
toned.
Detectives Muller and Tyser were finally
determined upon as the men to make the
trip and they probably reached Camden
about o'clock. While Capt. Boardman is
in doubt about it, he hopes that the man in
custody Is the one wanted Nothing would
be more pleasing to the captain and other
police officials at this time than to have
the man under arrest identified as Dorsey
FoultZ.

SIMPLY CALLED TO SEE THE PREsI.
DENr.-A Swede who attempted to Sc
cure an audience with the President
at Sycamore Hill, Tuesday, was turned
down by the ever vigilant secret serv-
ice men, and found to be only HARM
less foreigner who had been led to be-
lleve that under republican form of
government the President was ap
proachable by the most humble citi-
zen. That was once the pride and
boast OF our people, before the birth
OF anarchy in this country, but the
fancied security which it was thought
equality ensured is matter of the
past, largely owing to the foreign-born
element, which has established nests
of vipers in this country ready to
strike at the benefcent government
which affords them harbor and refuge.
So the harmless cranks who call on
the President, like the last Samuel
Swendon by name, have only their
compatriots to blame for rules which
guard safely the person of the Presi-
dent.

The War on in Portland.

1t seems that the gambling issue i.
clearly defined in Portland, between
the Ministerial Association and an
auxiliary organization outside the
church on one side, and the city gov
eminent on the other, if the Mayor
represents, as it is reasonable to sup
pose, the sentiment OF the municipal
administration.
The matter has been under agitation
for some time, and it was thought that
the determined and aggressive warfare
of the reform element would take
active measures to suppress, at least.
open gambling. In their effort to
force results the Ministerial Associa-
ton waited upon the Mayor as body,
and from the report published had q
battle royal with his honor. Mayor
Williams told the reverend gentle
men that the city management was
turned over to him with the present
rules regarding gambling in force; he
did not inaugurate the system, but
was responsible for acquiescing in it
and that he was fully determined to
give the experiment full and fair
trial. He said that the city govern
ment had been for many years infused
with corruption; that he had consid-
sidered it one of the crying evils of the
day; that he was determined at all
hazards to have an honest government,
and that was what it was at the pres.
ent time. He said he had, for the
first six or eight months, as Mayor,
tried to suppress gambling, and the
effort was failure. 1t only drove
gaming behind doors and to degenerate
square games into system of robbery.
Many violators of law we're arrested
but none convicted. The matter then
became, he declared, a choice OF evils;
simply whether it was better to be
corrupted form of service with the
gamblers money going to debased off,
Gals, or a system under which the
gamblers would pay the money thus
spent into the city treasury. He told
them that the city was in need of
funds and that it was as reasonable
and just to require the gamblers to
contribute as it was to make the tax
payers pay all the costs.
This is the Mayors position in q
nutshell. 1t is by no means new in
principle. 1t is even said leading
Christian organization once, to build q
world renowned church, raised money
by granting "indulgences." France
has long pursued the course OF licens-
ing acknowledged evils that could not
be controlled, and it does seem as if
success had 10 some degree justified
the claim that the good justified the
wrong.
But this is not the view taken by
the reverend gentlemen, and they
have no intention of leaving the mat
ter as it stands. Aided by the secular
lar organization, they will probably
make it political issue at the next
city campaign.

Equality.

A rational government must be of all
the people, and for all the people, but
not by all the people. 1t has never been
and never can be.-Er.
The more one ponders on this propo-
sition, the more he is impressed with
its truth. Theoretically our govern.
ment is based upon universal equality,
but is it thought that our forefathers
meant that absolute equality was in
volved in the declaration that "All
men are created equal? No, indeed.
Some men have large brains, some
small; some possess great talent in
statecraft, others none; some have
talent for some professions or call.
ings, others for other missions in life.
Some are physically strong, others
weak; some born to command, others
to obey; some have disposition to &C.
quire riches, others are proAigate. So
it is absurd to jump at the conclusion,
as many do, that 81 am good as you"
as . clincher to an argument. Our
ancestors meant, and the assertion OF
equality of citizenship means, that
political privileges were to be accorded
to all citizens alike. While every ma.
tive-born or naturalized male adult
has the right to vote and participate
in all political privileges, he adds to
the strength of the government by
these acts only in proportion to the
amount of intelligent motive that
prompts his acts. As unit, he
amounts to little, except as he 10 able

portion as he is actuated by unworthy
and unpatriotic motives, or by corrup,
influences, the government is weak.
ened. That fact has been taught by
the 18th Amendment which admitted
to equality" three millions of people
who had never been prepared for in.
telligent direction of governmental af.
fairs. Such classes allow demagogues
to do their thinking for them, are con.
trolled by impulse and passion, and
make possible sometimes, the selfish
aspirations of unworthy leaders. Yes
indeed; a rational govern ment neve,
has been, never should be and neye,
will be controlled by all the people.
