BETTING AS AN INDICATION.

Betting is morally indefensiblc, wholly so: but it is politically signifi- cant. and the odds made by the polit- ical sporting element" furnish some index to the status of candidates. In a political year that great majority Of the public which holds betting beneath it nevertheless casts a furtive glance now and then upon the posted figures partly for curiosity's sake and partly for information Those more respec- table of us may at least get an ink ling of the business by hearsay.
 There is a good deal of human na- ture-old sinful human nature-about the bettors' transactions. They are all "out 10 win" from each other, and they wish to give as little as possible for as much as possible.
 When the betting fraternity holds out an inducement of long odds to the public the latter may be reasonably sure of losing-the betting fraternity has a sure thing
 The packers of MT. Roosevelt for the presidency have not exhibited the con- fidence which comes from the posses. sion of sure thing" They have made no tempting offers. For many months MT. Roosevelt's name was, to employ the vernacular, the only en- try" He was logically the favorite. For many months his nomination had been assured. What Democracy would do was wholly uncertain, whereas a powerful organization had fixed upon MT. Roosevelt. The Democratic par ty exhibited indications of difference and inability to agree On the bet tors books. therefore, Mr. Roosevelt was placed against an unknown field with only the possibility of a strong race against him. It might have beer supposed that under these conditions Mir. Roosevelt would be a strong favor ite: that he would command support at long odds. But the very first mon ey offered on him was to l. Witt MT. Parker's nomination the odds sud denly dropped to 10 to ', and now, il the language of the betting ring Parker money is going begging" at to i. When they offered 10 agains the Roosevelt packers were literall, snapped up. Confidence behind Nil Roosevelt has disappeared, in the bel ting ring at least.

THE SPANISH FEELING.

The presentation to Admiral Cerya. "a, by Americans, of testimonial of
 the appreciation by the people of this
 country for his humanity to Lieut..
 Hobson and his men when they fell into his hands at Santiago was a mer-
 tied compliment to a gallant officer. and is an interesting incident as show. ing how time has healed the asperities ot the war. The Spaniards are pro verbally a proud and spirited people, and the loss of the last of their once vast possessions bequeathed them by Columbus, to gay nothing of the Phil
 ippines, was enough to wound their sensibilities deeply But they have shown themselves superior to any pet fy animosity, and have come to look upon their misfortunes in a philosoph- ical spirit worthy of their great histo. ry. They have ceased to repine and. freed from the incumbrance of their colonies. are devoting themselves to the improvement of their domestic in- dustries and their commerce with an energy which is showing very marked success. At the same time whatever Of feeling against the United States

While it was generally understood in St. Louis that Hon. Thos. Taggart, of Indiana, would be made chairman of the National Democratic Committee, it is plain that there is yet much doubt about the Indianian reaching that po- sition. There are three others being Belmont, German and Wm. F. Sheeehan. In case Taggar- is not successful, he will probably be placed in charge of the western head quarters at Chicago. We believe Cor man would be the best man for chair man. He has already proved his great ability as an organizer.

BOY CAUGHT
BY ROPE OF A BALLOON
AND
CARRIED into THE AIR
Feet Foremost, But Not
Badly Hurt

Sparta, Wis, Aug. 1S.-As "Prof." "
Hi Henry was about to ascend in his
balloon this afternoon for a parachute
jump, Frank Fredericks, lad of 10
years old, was caught about his ankle
by a rope attached to the upper part
of the balloon and carried into the
air feet foremost before the assembled
thousands at the Monroe County fair.
Henry grasped a lower rope and
was also carried up. From his posi-
ton, some thirty feet below the un-
fortunate boy, he repeatedly caution
ed the lad to hold and and said that
he would rescue him if he would obey
orders and keep cool head. The
balloon went up several hundred feet,
drifting to the northwest, where it
was followed by the crowd. 1t finally
began to settle slowly. and when some
twenty feet from the earth the
aeronaut dropped, thus tightening the
balloon sufficiently to ease its fall,
and thereby saving the boys life.
Young Fredericks was not severely
hurt.

HAMMERS JAR
Leads to Suit for 8I, 800
Damages.

Louis Cohen has brought suit against
the Canton Drop Forge G. Manufactur-
ing company for $500 damages which
are claimed to have resulted to two
dwelling houses which he owns near
the company's works by reason of the
heavy jarring of the large steam ham
mers that are in operation in the plant.
Attorneys Welty & Albhugh represent
The plaintiff in the action.
Cohen claims that he owns lots 64O1
and 6402, located near the works of the
defendant company, and that there
were upon the lots two dwelling houses
before the works were built. Hammers
Of great weight are used in the works,
the jar of which affects the founda-
tions and walls Of the buildings. It is
claimed that the foundations have been
weakened and are giving way so that
the houses are no longer level, the
weather boards are loosened and the
plastering loosened. The constant jar
ring has proven to be nuisance to the
people who lived in the houses and the
property and conditions are such that
the plaintiff can no longer rent the
houses. The court Ia asked to give
Judgment for the amount named in the
petition.

JAPANESE. FOUGHT
WITH DESPERATION
Thousands Slaughtered in the Attacks Upon Port
Arthur's Defences.

Che Foo, Aug. 1S.-Details of the Port
Arthur fighting show that the earlier
stories of the attacks before the for
tress were not exaggerated and that the
Japanese, true to their earlier meth
DDS Of absolutely disregarding human
life to accomplish their purpose, have
been carrying all of the outer positions
by assault. That the whole territory
surrounding Port Arthur has been heav-
lily mined Is known to the Japanese
commanders but they have not let this
fact interfere with their operations. AS
a result of this, an incident of last
Mondays assault on the outer fortress
is cited. The Japanese had been press
ing their advantage until it seemed that
a general assault might be successful
and result in the capture of the i'm
portant outer positions.
A charge was ordered but as the
troops moved across the intervening
space a series of mines were exploded

Tibbles of Nebraska nominees respec-

ident and vice president of the Unit
ed States were formally notified or
their nomination in Cooper Union
here tonight in the presence of a
crowd of $500 people.
In his opening utterances in his
speech of acceptance Mr.. Watson sa
the crowd roaring madly by saying:
"In this era when SO many men
wear their political beliefs loosely,
in this time when the voter who went
to bed Democrat, having prayed for
free silver before closing his eyes,
may awake in the morning and find
himself under the necessity of cloth
ing himself in the irrevocable gold
standard or having no Democratic
garments to wear-it is something to
be able to say | belong to a party
which will not strike its flag, which
will not desert its creed, which stands
today just where it stood on the day
of its birth, which glorles in its prin-
ciples in the hour of defeat, which be-
lieves 1t has a message to mankind
and mission to perform, and which
will never cease the struggle to re.
store our government to the Demo
cratic ideal of the wise men, the good
men. the great men who framed It,"
Mr.. Watson then attacked both the
Republican and Democratic party, de-
claring that they are ruled by the
trusts and that the hope of the nation
lies in the Populists.
