SAY THE PLUNGER
WILL BE NO MORE

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE day OF the
racetrack plunger is gone. Likewise that
OF the Diker. One OF the many reforms in
stituted by tho Jockey Club IN its efforts
to modify the betting end Of the game
taboos all big bets. Nowadays a $500 bet
is regarded as pretty near the limit A
plunger, OF course, may get wagers Of
this size down in several books. but their
total will be as nothing compared TO the
old days OF 1880 or 5000 bets with a
single book. The bookmakers as well as
the big players have been told OF the de-
sires Of the Jockey Club IN this direction,
and they are bound TO respect the edict.
In the clubhouse at Aqueduct yesterday
the average bet was $50. When the edu-
Gated money drops to bets Of this pro-
portion Il may be easily seen that there
is sincerity behind the determination 70
curtail the betting to which the reform
ers object
The mo less than So rule hits the
pikers as hard as does the limit placed
on the plunger. Many a small better here
tofore had an opportunity OF running the
shoestring bankroll Up TO something
worth while. Now he must start with a
tve-spot or nothing. Whereas he might
afford the loss of Sc, a losing bet OF SIS
would cripple his finances.

JENKINS GOES
AFTER GOTCH

Tom Jenkins. Americas ex-champion
wrestler, is once again on the war
path. He is after the scalp Of Frank
Gotch. the recent conqueror Of Hacken-
schmidt. to whom Tom lost his laurels
a year ago.
Jenkins defeated Gotch in Madison.
Square Garden a couple of years ago
in the most bitterly fought wrestling
contest ever held in this country.
Shortly after that Hackenschmidt took
the Americans measure. and in doing
SO injured Jenkins side. 1t was while
still suffering from this injury that
Jenkins took Gotch on in Kansas City,
and was beaten. Time and again he
tried to get Gotch to give him a return
match. but without avail. Then
JenlSiDs was appointed wrestling in
structor at the military academy at
West Point and went into temporary
retirement.
Since Gotch took the Russian
Lions" measure jenkins has been
lending a willing ear to the call to bat
tie When in proper condition he was
always Gotch's master, and the work
that Tom has been doing at West
Point has put him in fine shape. He
says that If Gotch is a champion he
knows that he is twice one, and that
ne viii not rest until he forces the
farmer into a match
Gotch can give no good excuse for
not meeting him, as Jenkins can secure
no end Of backing in the event Of the
same being necessary. He is alsc
willing for the winner to take the Ell,
tire purse.

MASSACHUSETTS FoR TAFT.

He so-caled Republican "reactionaries" hear
= nothing but bad news for them these DAYS
The returns from the Massachusetts primaries
are enough TO throw them into convulsions. The
anti-Iatt forces were prepared TO hold the Mas
sachusetts fortress as a stronghold against Taft
That State, under the leadership of Senator Muir
ray Crane, was preparing TO head the anti Taft
forces in the Chicago convention. But, accord
ing to the messages from Massachusetts, the Taft
men have captured large majority Of the dele
gates to the Chicago convention from the old Bay
State, and the Hon Murray Crane, the senator.
may be forced to support Taft. This victory in
Massachusetts, is one of the most important that
has been gained by the supporters OF the Secre-
tary of War
Along with the news from Massachusetts, comes
the tidings from New York that strong organi-
zation IS being formed in that State with Taft as
the second choice for President. 1t is evident
that the support of Governor Hughes by MANY of
the New York delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton will be merely perfunctory. Even the New
York Sun comedies that the friends of President
Roosevelt are now in complete control Of the Re
publican party in New York
And if the tide for Taft personally is rising the
political sentiments for which he and the Presi-
dent stand, are gaining ground in everv direction
For instance, the platform of the Indiana Repub
llcans, upon which platform the Hon. Charles w
Fairbanks is put forward as the choice of Indi-
ana tor President, IS a modern, up-to-date set of
resolutions There is no step backward in these
resolutions
The warning conveyed by these developments
IS Piain, The people Of this country are opposed
10 the reactionaries,' and in this opposition the
people OF Delaware share. Those who run may

THE MAYORS CABINET.

II HE mayors cabinet is rapidly becoming a
Il mysterious body that does nothing which
is of interest to the public. AT least it has, so far,
after its meetings, given out the regular answer
that nothing was DONE" The fair presumption
is that if this body is to meet frequently and do
nothing the members of the cabinet wasting
valuable time But it is probable that the cabinet
is busy with various discussions, and if this IS
true the people are entitled to some report OF
what is under consideration In fact the entire
idea of secrecy in this cabinet must be repugnant
to the people of the city.
1t is conceivable that under extraordinary cir
cumstances, an executive session might be held
but the fewer that are held the better When,
however such executive sessions are of frequent
occurrence and no light is shed upon them, the
suspicion naturally is created that the cabinet is
engaged in some plan that the members do not
want the public to know Of.
So far as we have noticed the only thing that
has followed these sessions of the cabinet has
been revival Of the effort to force the Water
Department into the grotesque deal with the
Delaware Water Company by which deal the
water company is to have permission to lay pipes
in city property and the railroad company is to
let the city have the use of some land for chill
dren's playground for ten years
We have contended that even were the CITY
ready to give a private water company permis-
sion to use its streets, the city should insist upon
a better bargain than that which is proposed If
the mayors cabinet is to be used to coerce the
Water Commissioners into agreeing to this deal
the cabinet is engaged in very wrongful business,
according to our notion
We are beginning to doubt the wisdom of this
mayors cabinet business anyway. Certain it is
that II its meeting are held in secret and nothing
is gwen out, 1t is useless function.

more after all than the ground they
stand on" Last fall our beloved
friend Ex-senator Kenney seemed to
pooh-pooh our optimistic view Of a de-
partment store in the Bayard House,
and Offices in the Capitol Hotel. Well,
the optimist is ALWAYS sure Of his
perch. The hotels sold wells and will
meet requirements here and win pay
their owners, and 10 a credit to the
town. But If the Hotel Richardson
keeps open, we would hardly know
about launching a second hotel. We
have been hopeful that the Hotel
Richardson would pay its way. Still
there is every reason for pride in hav-
ing the Capitol Hotel remodeled and
reopened to the public, provided two
big temperance hotels can live in
Dover, and not both finally quit in a
hun and leave us without any public
