At Providence.

Providence. R. l., August O.-Twelve thousand persons saw the Grand Circuit racing at Narragansett park today. Weather and track were perfect and the horses in two instances made the best marks made in race over any track during the year. The big attraction to- day was the Park Brewing stakes for a purse of s5O00 for horses which were eli- gible to the 2:09 pacing class last March. There were five entries. but the event was practically two-horse race between Gallagher, the Canadian horse. and John M. property of E. s. Smathers of New York The former was favorite over the field.
 In the first heat the favorite led from

The Cincinnati Enquirer has the fol- lowing to say in regard to Dad Vaughan's visit to that city Sunday:
 Harry Vaughan, the ex-Redbird, now manager of the Coal Barons at Birming- ham, was in Redland yesterday. He left his team at Atlanta and joins it again at Nashville this morning. Down in Ala bama the fans are raving over the work of the Farmer. who has been invested with the new title Dad When Vaughan took charge of the Slag Pliers the team was way down in the race. At least 100 points were added to the clubs credit on the road.
 We have but few more games away from home" said Vaughan, land then we return to finish the season in position to improve our standing"
 President Garry Hermann met the di- rector of the Coal Barons at League park during the afternoon. Last fall Vaughan wanted the Cincinnati club to take Frank Smith. but his advice was not needed, and the player was drafted by the Chicago Americans. Under Captain Comiskey that pitcher has gained promi- hence as the best of the seasons major finds. Vaughan has one twirler on his staff that he thinks is another Smith. Nothing came of the conference with the Red chief.
 There is much speculation as to who Is the "other Smith on our pitching staff. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. Arthur Reagan has won five straights for the Coal Barons in the Southern league. Rip may be come back some day.
 Charlton H. Morgan has returned from Texas.
 Monroe, La.-A Birmingham boy is lead ing all pitchers in the Cotton States base ball circuit and has pitched in such d manner as to establish a claim to the title of king bee of the slabmen In this busy little league for 1904.
 In every city in the six-club circuit, Cor don Hickman, who halls from classic "Slagtown," is regarded as the premier of the league. This opinion is based on figures established by the young Ala bamian. and also by his performances, which impress even a baseball layman with his ability.
 George Leidy, the former Southern Ieaguer, than whom no better judges of ball players exists, thinks that young Hickman is one of the best minor leaguers in the business. He Is just 21 years of age. having reached his major ity during the current diamond season.
 Hickman has pitched in thirty three games up to Saturday. has won twenty one. lost eight and tied four. He has been very successful in administering shut-outs to opponents, ten of his twenty one victories having ended in nothing doing in the way of scores for the en- emy.
 He has good habits and is extremely popular with his own comrades on the local team and with players and specta- tors all over the Cotton states. Little Rock has lost thirteen out of the fourteen last games played. No wonder that Finn wants to go to Texas.
 And the Cowboy got hisn good and hard.
 Shreveport took three double-headers from Finn's crowd. and still there were but 400 fans on hand yesterday after noon to see the final contest of the sea- son.
 There will be another double header at Nashville today and Durham and Ginger Clark will probably be the pitchers. The Barons return home tomorrow and open up with a double-header against At lanta.

was the only means they had of pro-
testing against the scheme of the Liquor

! indeed, to be commended, They put
aside their personal prejudices in the
interest of good government and in SO
doing they discharged the highest duty

The Duty to Win.

orr washington correspondent en-
phasizes the fact that the FIRST session
OF the Fifty-eghth Congress just adj
1ourned did rothing except to transact
routine business. did nothing that II was
not compelled to do; did nothing in the
interest of tariff reform or the bet
torment of the currency system
This session Of Congress was controlled
by the Republicans and they were d's-
creetly careful in what they did because
n national election is coming on. IL me
Republicans win in the election reSt
fall; IL they elect their candidate for
President and n majority of the mem
bors of the House, they will have the
some time to come, and they will rot be
so conservative as they have been. We
may reasonably expect that they Will
be pulled up by their success and that
they will BIO holder in putting into exc
cution Republican principles and poll
cies. Certain It Is that they cannot
be depended upon to reform the tariff
and to tighten the burden of taxation
upon the people President Roosevelt will
be bolder than ever in radicalism. Elk
travagance in the management of the
public affairs will increase, and we shall
have Republlcanism run wild.
This year will mark n serious crisis
In the history of the United States. "A
check should be put to Republcanism,
and the best and only remedy for Re
publicarism is Democracy. 1t is In the
interest of good government, in the in
terest of our cherished institutions, that
the Democratic party should succeed this
year We venture n step farther and
say that It is the duty Of the Democrat tic
party to win in the election Of 1904
Therefore, 1t behoovcs the managers OF
the party to be exceedingly careful in
framing a national platform and in
choosing n candidate. All true and rca-
sonable Democrats are willing to make
concessions to that end. It is no time
for the extremists to exploit themselves
and their pet measures. 1t is no time
LOT the party 20 ne governed Dy tnoSe
members who would rule or ruin. What
possible good is 10 be accomplished by
pursuing a radical course whose end
must be defeat for the Democratic party
and victory for the Republican party :?
OF course, we do not mean to say that
the party should sacrifice principle to
success. Success al that price would
be dear, indeed, and might cost the DEM
ocratic party its very existence. But tho
party may make a safe. conservative plat
form, preserving every, Democratic prin-
ciple and yet. ke-psng within reasonable
bounds. 1t is not necessary to the pre-
servatlon and exploitation of Demo-
cratic principles to run into radlcalism.
This is the year Of Democratic OPP
portunity. Il We have the opporu-
nifty to put the party In control Of
the government, to rehablitatc and re-
juvenate and rc-establish Democracy at
Washington and thus TO confer the bcnc-
fits of Democracy upon the nation. BY
wisdom and affectionnte interest, we may
turn this opportunity to good account;
on the other hand, we may turn it into
defeat and thereby give Republicanism
a great uplift and set Democracy back
for a season.
Which shall it be? Democrats must an
swer for themselves,
