man make ready for parachute jump.
A few seconds before all was ready
to cut loose, Miss Agnes Chilson, of
Chicago, remarked that she thought it
dreadful for a man to place his life
in jeopardy for money
Mrs. Sutton said she would make
the ascent for a s. gold piece and one
of the party jokingly remarked that
he would give her the money.
At that instant the order to cut
loose was given. Mrs. Sutton rushed
out of the crowd and seized the
trapeze bar. In moment she was
forty feet above the earth and there
was nothing left for Herman to do but
to drag her up on the bar with him.
The balloon made a rapid flight While
those below gasped.
After a sail of fourteen minutes
Herman and Mrs. Sutton descended
by the parachute. Aside from Sc
verely sprained ankle, caused by strik-
ing a fence, the young woman was un-
injured.

DEFENDS ST. LOUIS ACTION ON
MONEY ISSUE AND PARKER
TELEGRAM.
Money Question Is Dead and the Dem !.
ocratie Party Has Taken
Wise Course.

SPOKANE, Wash, July lex
Senator George Turner, who has re-
turned from ST. Louis, has given out
an interview defending the action of
the St. Louis convention relative to
the money question and the sending of
the telegram on that subject to Judge
Parker. the nominee for president.
Judge Turner's statement is as fol-
lows:
THE action of the convention on
the money question is perfectly explic-
able, and beyond criticism. The men,
bers of the convention recognized
what everybody else has recognized
for several years-that the money
question is dead; that the enormous
output of gold during the last 10 years
has fully supplied the demand Of the
world for metallic money and thus en-
abled gold alone to perform the office
that both gold and silver were needed
for in 1896
None recognized this fact more
fully and cheerfully than the members
from the west. Mr.. Bryan had him
self acquiesced in that view before
coming to the convention, and had de-
cided not to ask a renewed declara-
ton in favor of the free coinage of
silver

Atlantic City Horse Show.

ATLANTIC CITY. n. j., July 10
Boating and bathing and even the
pleasures of promenading on the board
walk were largely abandoned today
while society and the resorters in gem
eral fiocked to Inlet Park for the OPEN
ing of the sixth annual exhibition of
the Atlantic City Horse Show asso-
citation. To use a hackneyed phrase,
the show this year surpasses all of it's
predecessors. This is especially true
as regards the entries in a large num-
Der of classes, including the tandems
four in hands and saddle horses. The
show will continue until the end of the
week.

Judge Parker's telegram.

1T was quite evident from Judge
Parkers telegram that he doubted the
wisdom of the course pursued by the
convention, or at least, that he feared
it would place him in an equivocal po-
sition. His declaration, made while
the convention was in session, was in
keeping with the high sense of honor
which has marked him throughout his
entire life. and demonstrated more
completely than any act of his life his
fitness for the Office of president Of
the republic.
And since his declaration merely
announced as a fact what everybody
recognized as a fact, and contravened
no declaration of the democratic plat
form, it can not be Objectionable in
substance to any democrat Those
who insist on taking Offense at it have
either shut their minds to what has
been transpiring around them or are
in frame of mind to take offense at

didates may have done or said"

THE only question with the conven-

OF the system by others, notably the
United States and Germany, in areas OF
Importance to British trade, has resulted
in mild form of terrorism in British
trade circles. The conclusions OF the
Iron and Steel Committee OF the Tariff
Commission will undoubtedly be sup
plemented by the evidence obtained in
other lines OF industry.
That England has been seriously hurt
by this system, and that she is likely to be
still further injured by it, seems unques-
tionable. Her commission therefore
finds that -the practice Of dumping could
not be carried on by foreign countries
but for the British system of free i'm
ports" and that "the British fiscal sys-
TEN should be revised in such manner
as to check this practice" in order that
the iron and steel industry may be main
tanned "both as the basis Of other impor-
tant trades, and because it is necessary
for the security of the empire
England has been hurt in the industrial
contest, and this is one Of the groans by
which she makes her injuries known.
Yet she does not and cannot say that the
cause of her injuries is either illegitimate
or immoral. Her commission admits,
and even urges, that dumping may be
profitable to the countries practising it,
and cites specific illustrations in support
of the contention.
A review of this system in it's general
features, and of the testimony of the
representatives of British concerns which
have been heavily hit by its operation,
shows dumping only in the light of one
form of competition, entirely legitimate,
and justifiable by all the standards OF
modern business methods. The argu-
ment of the free trader that cheap prices,
like charity, should begin at home, has
no important bearing on the ethics Of
dumping. Even comparatively high
range of prices on lines in which foreign
dumping is practice may hold its COM
pensations, and a majority Of our people
appear to be fairly convinced that such
is the case.
