A dispatch from Austin. Tex, last night
says: 1t is said that the question of wheth-
er the new channel of the Rio Grandc
through the Arroyo Colorado is the tenn
porary or permanent bed of that stream
will have to be determined by the interna-
tional water boundary commission. The
flow of water through the new channel is

nomination for Vice President at White Sui
phur Springs, West Virginia, on August II.
His speech on the occasion will be followed
by letter of acceptance also. White Sui
phur Springs was well chosen by Mr.. Davis
For almost century it has been a political
centre, particular in ante bellum days. II
was there the leading Democrats of the South,
with a few from the North, met and discussed
national affairs and consummated campaign
plans. Since 1860 Saratoga Springs, New
York, has been the chief gathering place for
Democrats to consult and interchange views,
but White Sulphur Springs has always been
the rendezvous of Southern Democrats.
In the past the plans made at White Sui
phur Springs were successfully carried out in
national conventions and ratified at the polls,

campaign thst the nominee for Vice President
has selected the historic White Sulphur
Springs as a place to receive the notification

little less than criminal.
"And, secondly, your manly declaration

Another Issue.

President Roosevelt, in appealing for sup
port lays stress on the records Of Mckinley 5
aud his own administrations the past seven
years. Well. the Democrats are willing TO
accept Roosevet's record as an issue, and add
a further issue-what Roosevelt might do if
ntrqsted with the Presidency for four mora
years. His past record has shown that he is All
i'll balanced, erraiic, self.satis6ed, obstinate
and unsafe man. He is too strenuous for
even the laws or constitution TO restrain, aud
the peace ofthe country and the business inter
ests will ever be threatened should be be elect
ed. A reaction from a hightide of prosperity
has set in, and the greatest need now is con-
servative government at Washington and
peace at home and abroad.

Public and Private Gambling

Gambling in Memphis, Tennessee, has be
come so notorious that a committee Of citizens
called upon the mayor to use his best efforts
10 suppress il. The mayor has taken hold OF
the proposition with determination. He has
not only put the officers Of the law on the
public gaming places, but be has appealed 10
the gentlemen who gamble in private and the
ladies who play for cut glass and other valua-
Bile prizes to forego their games, in order to
set good example in the community.
The Philadelphia Ledger says that in the ap
peal to the gentlemen and ladies the mayor IS
intentionally muddling the matter, but con-
cudes sit is not without some weight as eon-
Germs the broader aspect of the gambling vice.
The Ledger continues:
at is undoubtedly true that much larger
number of persons, in an average community,
are affected by gentlemen game" than are
interested ia any of the forms of public gam
ing; that more men have been ruined by poker
in a private room than ever saw the inside OF
a recognized gambling house. Il is equally
true that the passion for gaming is quite as
prevalent, perhaps more prevalent, among
women than among men. The majority Of
men who play cards for stakes do so as d.
version in leisure hours; among women of the
present day card playing has become an alb
sorbing pursuit, by day aud night, 10 the sub
ornation Of other interests.
At no previous period in America, and
nowhere since the eighteenth century, has the
gambling mania been so prevalent among
well-to-do women as at this time. In Mem
phis. apparently. it is still at the stage Of play
ing for prizes-''cut glass trophies" and the
like. In this part of the country, as in Eng
land, it has developed far beyond that. In
the fashionable game of bridge, especially,
many woman devote themselves TO winning
money with an assiduity, a recklessEess, a
frequent unscrupulousness, that woald cause
man TO be looked at askauce by his com
panions Even the more popular games.
moreover, like the elementary progressive
euchre, develop in women the thirst for a
prize-that is, for the stake and a deter
mination to win it that not infrequently over
comes any nice regard for the rules OF the
game, not to speak Of fundamental honor.
