Isuch widely different motives, had

IDagmar, Duchesse des Reeves,
Monsieur lie Due was the last to

the ever-watchful Jules Chevral
had brought him breathless word
lof the duchesse's final flight, a

was to be detained in Paris for
him.
The creature who had served
his purpose there was one Tissot-
.atour, an aspirant for social rec
'ognition and very ready to oblige
Ia duke.
Tissot?Latour was seated in the
smoking room when he returned
to the Rue st. Honore, a little
vulgar, over-dressed man, plebe-
ian of body as mind, who rose as
monsieur entered, and greeted
him fefusiHely.

NEW YORK. June 19.-Horse
racing doesn't bring the joy to
bookmakers it did in the halcyon
days, before the Hughes law and
other anti-gamblings measures be-
gan to operate here and in other
sections.
In New York there is betting,
of course, but the volume is not
sufficient to pay the bookies for
remaining in business. They may
clean up few dollars a day, and
some who have wealthy patrons
ARE making money, but the ma
jority, who depend upon the pub
|lic-upon the pikers, as they
termed them-are in Dutch.
Oral betting virtually means no
betting for the public. Under the
old regime man with IS or $40
could go to the track and invest
in three or four 81 and So tickets.
With thousands of such pikers,
the bookmakers made fortunes.
The law now prohibits the ex-
Ichange of paper, the making of
memoranda, or showing of
money. Bookies aren't accepting
high signs from those they don't
know. The bets are verbal, and
this bars the pikers, who remain
away from the track or content
themselves with betting with
friends.
Horse racing is, as the result OF
this regulation, returning to the
condition it occupied before the
ers, the men with money, the big
gamblers, are betting now. Rae
ing is becoming the sport of the
few. But such patronage will not
support the bookies, for the men
ARE too wise to be very profitable.
They have as good information as
the layers of odds and do well at
beating the books.
1t was the man with the small
roll and limited knowledge who
paid for the bookmakers' automo-
biles and expensive wines. And
he has been put out of business,
which probably was what the re-
formers who went after the sport
|of kings" desired.
Speaking of the "sport of kings"
recalls a story told on Magistrate
Battery Dan" Finn. His honor
had before him a man reduced to
|penury through indulgence of his
passion for playing the ponies.
1.-THE sport of kings, eh?" said
the brusque magistrate. 1--WE
heard it called that. But I've me
own name for 1t. The sport of
understands what I'd call it.
The sport of knaves. The sport
of rogues. The sport of thieves.
The sport of kings? Well. it's like
a kings sport: heads / win, tails
you lose / would like to own
a kings shilling for every man I've
seen made a bum by this same
sport of kings. Well, go your way,
me man. Forget the ponies. Let
them run for Sweeney--you'n be-
what that means"
There is no credit betting in
New York, save between bookmak-
ers and men of known wealth.
These men ask the odds and IL
they are satisfactory, announce the
sum they propose to wager.
The public with bank roll suffi-I
GENTLY large to interest the odds

BRITISH POLITICAL CHANCES.

The present dispute over the British
budget serves among other purposes TO
show how far the Liberal party. as IT
still calls itself, has proceeded beyond
the principles and standards of its
founders. Time was when Gladstone
and Bright were its foremost leaders
and the directors Of its policies, and
when they We're among its most ad-
vanced rather than its most conserva-
tive members. Yet neither Gladstone
nor Bright could stand among Mr.. AS
quith's followers to-day without radI-
cal change OF mind.
ON the subject of the right OF the
peers 10 deal according 10 their pleas
ure with money bills. Gladstone un-
equvocally supported the principle upon
which Lord LansdOwne insists to-day.
Speaking Of the power not merely TO
dissent from but 10 amend a money
bill, he said: THE House OF Lords has
never given this up, and / must saw
think they are perfectly right i'm de-
"clining 10 record against themselves
this Limitation Of their privileges. be-
cause cases might arise .n which. from
THE illegitimate incorporation of ele-
"ments not financial into financial meas
lures, il might be wise and Just 10 fall
back on an assertion OF tie whole
breadth OF their privileges" The op-
position, Of course, claims that precisely
such a case as that suggested by Glad
stone has now arisen. IL Is 20 be feared

Gladstone, were that statesman now
alive and of his old mind, as a defender
OF the dukes.

a disciple of the late Henry George and
10 be aiming at the ultimate COM
munization or naturalization OF the
land. Upon that subject, iii connection

THE HOME RULE CAUSE.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: OF all the idiotic TRADES let loose by
the Clan-na-GaeI In either this city or Bos-
ton that speech by O'NeiH Ryan, OF St
Louis. is the limit. II the NatiOnalists IN
the House OF Parliament do not ally them
selves with either one Of the great parties
in EngIaId how in the world does Ryan
think that Home Rule will be Obtainable?
1t is all very we'll for such men as he and
those who attended the meeting at Cooper
Union last night to stand up and talk. but
1 have invariably noticed that whenever
funds are needed 70 support the Nationalist
members it is neither the Clan-na-Gael nor
the Sim Fein who dole out the funds.
l fail to see what good would accrue to
the Irish interests from a war between
England and Germany. The condition Of
Ireland at the present day.is better than "a
any time past IN it's history. and this result
has not been brought about by fear Of what
either Germany or the Irish-Americans
would do TO England IL she did not refrain
from using cOerciye measures
The writer has been in Ireland a good
many times. and can safely say that no.
where IS the Irish question so acute as II
is I'm New York City. Further than that, /
as an Englishnan believe that all Irishmen
worthy Of the name either IN this or any
other country viii agree with me that the
Nationalist members Of Parliament are
using the exact measures which viii insure
success
Let us hope that they on the other side
will see 10 it that IL ever they get Home
Rule. which we hope will be in the near
future. those loud strung harps" such
as Ryan will be barred from going over
there and usurping all the offices and the
emoIuments which it is in the power OF the
Irish nation TO grant TO such as have
worked for the cause. II they are wise
they will foresee that an Ireland governed
by the same class of men who govern New
York will very soon be swallowed up in the
vortex Of a civilization in which such high
handed proceedings are not tolerated.

Bright expressed himself with his char
acteristic directness and force. ITO ac-
"cept such a scheme as land national

people. "the people Of England must

"who begin their systems of relief and

These citations do not mean that the
Liberals Of to-day are wrong. 1t is not
impossible that IL Gladstone and Bright
were now in Parliament they would oc-
cupy the same ground which Messrs.
Lloyd-George and Winston Churchill
have taken. But they do afford an in
teresting and instructive measure OF the
change which has occurred in British
political opinion ia the last generation.
