Reliance VS.. Shamrock III.
The Race Today May Test the Real
Merits of the Two Boats.

The wish that Sir Thomas may be
successful in lifting the cup, if not
universal, is so widespread as to re-
fleet great credit upon the sportsman
ike instincts of our people Yet, it is
only sentiment; it isn't business.
The indications as we write are that
there will be a race today which
promises TO test the relative merits of
the two boats. Thursdays race de
cided nothing, and those who fancy
that Reliance, because she proved su-
perior in drifting" will show CORE
spending speed in a five or eight knot
breeze, or even in a gale, are reckon
ing with grim uncertainty. Shamrock
III, carrying less sail than her rival
may in true breeze have a decided
advantage over Reliance, whose abili-
ty to resist strong pressure upon he1

Political Gossip
Here and There
Representative Balls Successor.

After an exciting contest in the
Eighth Congressional district OF. Texas.
the Democrats have selected as their
candidate the Hon. John NJ. Pinckney
TO succeed the Hon. Thomas H. Ball.
Mr.. Ball resigned his seat several
months ago on account of business rea-
sons. He had won a prominent position
In the House and was assured of elec-
tion so long as he desired to come to
Congress.
Mr.. Pinckney is an interesting char
acter and has the reputation of having
sent TO the gallows ten OF the really
bad men" OF the Lone Star State For
ten years he was district attorney for
the notorious Fort Bend district, ia
nous for its desperate characters and
outlaws During his term OF Office he
prosecuted some of the most daring
criminals in Texas. His convictions with
the death penalty averaged one for each
year, and his name became a terror TO
the law-breakers. for he showed them
no mercy in his prosecutions.
For the past three years the prospec-
tive Congressman has been Judge OF
Waller county. He is q sterling Texas
Democrat. but like Governor Lanham,
of the same State, he is an avowed Pro-
hibitionist and favors the abolition OF
the liquor traffic by statute making il
an offense to manufacture or sell in
toxicating beverages.

Will Relieve the King.

At the same time, the substitution of
this America Belgian trust in the place
of the monopolies will relieve King Leo
pold of the principal charges which have
been brought against him in connection
with his administration of the Free
State. and will not only put an end TO
the agitation now in progress against
him in every corner OF the civilized
world, but will likewise render unneces-
sary, the action initiated by the English
foreign Office in Difference to parlia-
mentary pressure, and which, as / point
ed out here the other day, is taking the
form of a circular letter addressed to
the various powers who signed the treaty
of Berlin, which called the Congo Free
State into existence and intrusted its
sovereignty TO King Leopold. This is
the meaning of those mysterious stories
now going the round OF the European
and American press TO the effect that
Leopold is on the eve of coup which,
entailing a radical change of the Congo
policy. will completely disarm the enc
mics of the Free State.

Bryan May Stump Ohio.

If the Hon Tom L johnson is nomi-
mated for governor Of Ohio. as he prob
ably will be. ne may have the Hon. VIII
liam J. Bryan assist him in the CAM
paign. thereby hoping TO strengthen him
self with the Bryanites in the State, and
place himself in a position to have the
tattered mantle of the Nebraskan's
leadership fall upon his rotund shoul-
ders. Bryan has announced that he n
tends to go to Europe this fall to study
conditions abroad. but he will doubtless
defer his departure for a time TO oblige
Mr. Johnson.
In 1900. when the campaign opened,
Mr.. Johnson was in Europe. but at the
earnest solicitation OF Mr.. Bryan return
ed to Ohio. and took an active part in
the campaign Doubtless. Mr. Bryan
thinks that it is proper for him 10 re-
ciprocate
Some months ago when Mayor John
son announced that local issues would be
discussed by the Democrats in Ohio this
fall he allowed the impression to be
conveyed that he would import no out
siders-no oratorical talent from neigh
boring States-to assist in the campaign.
but that the stumping would be done en-
tirely by local men who were familiar
with local questions

National Issues Paramount.

On the other hand the Republicans In
tend TO make national issues paramount
and will place a large number OF speak
ers from other States on the stump.
This fact may have Influenced Mayor
Johnson 10 call upon Mr. Bryan. At any
rate when the campaign in Ottawa coun-
ty is opened on August 81. Mr. Bryan
will be the principal speaker.
The regular delegation from Hamil-
ton county 10 the State convention has
been polled and the fact developed that
seven of the forty-two delegates are for
johnson, and the remainder for Mr.. Zim-
norman. of Springfield. The BigeIow
boilers will ask that the entire delega-
ton be thrown out. and in their stead
the delegates chosen at the '-rump' con-
vention be seated. The entire forty

A Homeric Duel.

The presence of the veterans OF the
Papal zouaves at the various memorial
services held in this country in honor
of the late Pope Leo XIII. serves to re-
call to mind the homeric duel fought by
their commander, the French Baron dc
Charette. with an Italian officer at the
battle OF Casteliardo. 1t was a single
combat, which savored of the medieval
ages. the opposing armies temporarily
suspending the hostilities in order 70
watch the encounter, which resulted in
the infiiction by Baron de Charette of a
fatal wound upon his adversary. and 1t
was not until the latter had been car
ried back into the Italian lines and
cared for by the surgeons that the bat
tie between the Italian forces and those
OF Plus TX was begun.
The baron. who is married to an
American woman, a Miss Polk, of Ten
ressee. a member of the we'll known
family of that name which has furnish
ed generals, divines. and statesmen 70
this country, has royal blood in his
veins. For his mother was the NOR
ganatic daughter of the Due de Berry
and of his English wife. Amy Brown

Munich or Pilsen, will be served. The white
and gold Of its decoration will be replaced by
the pseudo medieval ornamentation Of German

meeting place Of devotees Of the scientific game
since the seventeenth century. The founder was
one Lefevre, whose wife, il memoirs Of the
period did nof-slander her. was more fascinating
than virtuous. His successors spouse, Nine.

necessities Of life, he might languish
ir jail days and months without num-
ber, and no word of protest would be
heard from anyone But with Wat
son the case is different He is no or
binary criminal; he is somewhat ex-
traordinary. Not content with the ad-
vantages which the average youth
would have been glad to have, he had
to have more, and, to obtain them, he
adopted the career of a criminal.
What he did was from the start
planned with deliberation. His oper-
ations show him to have had the IN
stincts of a thief.
He is now behind prison bars
awaiting judicial action. Unquestion-
ably he is experiencing some incon-
veniences and discomforts incident to
the loss of his liberty. He Is not
dashing through the streets of Wash
ngton in a RED Devil" purchased
with money stolen from the taxpay-
ers, and doubtless his incarceration at
the District Jail is not so agreeable as
an outing at the seaside. Yet, that IS
a part of the penalty he is obliged to
pay for his offenses. To sympathlze
with him, or to attempt to make him
out a much-abused victim of official
persecution, is to indulge IN maudlln
sentiment. We hope to have heard
the last of it.

Taxing Objects of Art.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
Dear Sir: The daily papers have been print
ing recently much matter in connection with
the decision of the District Assessors that taxes
must be paid upon the magnificent Sheridan
tapestries which have been enjoyed by the pub
lie SO long in the National Museum. As lover
OF the beautiful, protest against the taxation
OF art objects, and suggest that the next Con-
9ress pass such laws will exempt all paint
lngs statuary, and other examples Of art.
At the present time the United States is the
only country in the world which puts an i'm
port tax upon the works of old masters, and
the great modern masterpieces The result Of
this is that many of the finest paintings are not
brought TO this country because the people and
museums who could buy them for the benefit
OF the public do not think it is right for them
to have to pay about 30 per cent of the value
OF the works TO get them into the country.
In some respects the tariff is all right. But
have we any infant industries in old masters?
Have we any infant industries in modern mas
terpieces2 | understand that some sort Of a
society appeared during the making Of the
present tariff law and obtained the enactment
Of the present section. What has this society
done for art2 II has created, probably. mar
ket for lot of sign painting, and lowered the
tone Of art throughout the country
hope The Times Will make this letter pub
lie, so that a movement may be started 70 pre-
vent the taxation Of art objects, and obtain
their entry into the United States free in the
future. L. S. ID.
