THE INGiDRIOUS "GIXDRIoIS.'

To-day the Glorious Fourth ia again made
tngIorous by so-called battle for the world s
cham pionship" between black thug and a
white one
Two years ago to the day the negro who
now holds the title won it by pounding to a
mass OF quvertng flesh the white giant who
had before That worn The crown of pugdnm.
/ On that occasion expressed In advance
7 the p!ous hope of the negro's victory. We
lived to see that hope realized. To-day we
again yearn in the OF decency for tri-
umph for that one of the gladiators who most
nearly brings testimony to the correctness of
the theory of evolution.

CURRENT COMMENT
Our Candidate.

The nomination Of Governor Wilson hs the
Democratic convention is above All else a splen-
did victory OF public sentiment. Never has the
power OF nation wide public opinion and de

manifested Whenever hereafter circumstances
may arise in which patriotic citizens shall be
tempted to question the efficacy OF that force
upon which nj the last resort republican nstitu-
tons must rest FOR their success aud their per-

pressure Of public sentiment which steadily

A Card DEALING Machine,

A Partisan gambler has just patent-
ed a machine for dealing cards. He
claims for it the advantage of prevent
ing the cards from being soiled by the
fingers and also of making impossible
any misdeal or any sharp practice by
the dealer. The cards, having been
shuffled. are placed in the box which
is held in the dealers left hand. with
his right he pulls wire which sets in
motion wheel that pushes forth the
top card. 1t is evident that none but
the top card can possibly be dealt. but
old professional gamblers smile at the
device. recognizing that it in no way
prevents their ringing in cold deck :"
If he wants to put an effectual stop
to swindling the inventor will have to
devise a machine that viii also shuttle
and cut the cards before dealing them
and so simple that no one can fix it TO
do crooked business-"-New York
