Holio- | of the time discussed by such | politics. Other public men in this country have been | interesting talkers on subjects widely away from poli- | tics and partisanship. But Colonel Bryan, whether [ talking for gate money to a Chautauqua assembly, to a | State fair at Sacramento, a street fair in Peoria, a { church fair at Lincoln o affair of any kind, has in- variably improved the occasion by appealing to preju- dices and making a partisan speech. During all these years it has been the same speech with but few varia- tions. His delivery is good, for he is an actor. Like | an actor, he repeats his lines over and over, year aiter | year, saying shallow things deep way, and | audiences go to hear him as they attend the play, and they come away with exactly the same feeling, that it was not real. To them Bryan is playing his part, re- peating his lines, doinrg his strut when his cue comes, in a {and that is all. No one was surprised when he improved Labor day nce speech, gar- {in Chicago by répeating his accepta | nished by an indorsement of direct legislation by the | initiative. He told the working people that their em- | ploy and all others, of what he calls the classes, are against them, and twanged with his long tongue every chord of envy, passion, prejudice and ignorance that may be tense in the hearts of men. | The spirit of his speech was to the effect that la- as in an invested ws of the coun- d their families are besiege: all around them.

By reason of the | controversy more attention has been given to the wine | than would otherwise have been the case, and it is | now assured that the firal judgment to be made upon | it by the jury in establishing a rating will be one of | high commendation. Summing up the essential points of the whole con- troversy Mr. Mills says: “The jury of award, Expo- sition Universelle, Paris, 1900, declined to admit some | of the California wines to competition with the wines | of the world because they bore French labels. Sub- sequently the same jury authorized irregular rating | of these wines, which rating was filed with the presi- | dent of the jury for such use as he might see fit to make and for the use of the superior jury when final action was taken. Publication of these ratings, when they are obtained, will be cf the highest value to the wine product of California.” | Mr. Wyley's statement of the issue closes by saying: | ““A few members of the jury (among them Mr. Phey- cy of England) having expressed a desire to study our wines more carefully than was possible in thé ordinary jury work, T arranged for a special trial at the agricultural space. The gentlemen taking part | represented large commercial interests. They were so | impressed with the excellence of our wines that they asked me to put them in communication with some of our principal wine-growers with a view of forming business connection. 1 am sure that every one inter- ested in the wine industry of the United States will be glad to learn that the result of these discussions, bit. ter as it was at times, has been to call a more special attention to our wincs, and to illustrate more strik- irgly their striking qualities. It is gratifying to know that what at first seemed a serious setback to our in- terests became in the end a means of advagcing them, In fact, it has been demonstrated that our wines are & such excellent character as to lead to the belief that | | | vor obtains now, and many more have been added. | Four years ago the success of she Populistic Democ- l ETTERS submitted at the meeting of the State | ! to consider whether it may not be worth while for them to adopt the suggestion of Mr. Wyley and give | their wines ““American names, without reference to fcreign types.” | ! l and Mrs. Norman (McCoy) Selby, wives of the two pugilists who recently gave an exhibition of their physical prowess to a large audience in New York City, are to be given credence, it must be said that the Horton law, under which the alleged “con- test” took place, has been repealed none too soon. These women positively affirm under oath that the Corbett-McCoy fight was a fraud. Mrs. Corbett, in- deed, goes into particulars and declares that she ac- tually drew the checks with which the sporting men who participated in the swindle were paid for their services. Furthermore, she says that aiter Sharkey fought her husband she paid Trainer McVey $2000 for his services in jumping into the ring while the pugilists were apparently pummeling cach other. It will be remembered that in consequence of this ex- ploit of McVey the referee decided the fight in favor of Sharkey. Mrs. Selby, the wife of McCoy, cor- rcborates Mrs. Corbett in many particulars. Both women are now suing for divorces, and doubt- less if a contest follows they will appear in court and submit to cross-examination. Perhaps it is vain to entertain a hope that the pugs will contest, but if there is any way to lure them into doing so it should be put into full force at once by a curious and deserving pub- lic. Certainly the gudgeons of New York are en- titled to know to what extent their legs have been pulled by these two fakers. It is difficult to decide the exact weight to be given to such evidence as that which is here presented. But it is an old saving that where there is plenty of smoke there is certain to be scme fire, and it is not unsafe to sume that both the “fights” to which Mrs. Corbett reiers were arranged beforehand for the purpose of rcbbing the betting fraternity throughout the country. It has long been apparent to the mast superficial observer that prize-fighting as carried on by the mod ern pugilist is the rankest kind of a fraud. The fact that most of the “contests” result in the success of the 1o has the short end of the betting is perhaps iling sign of crookedness. The favorite can- not always be defeated, and yet that appears to be the story of the sport In other words, in prize- fighting the judgment of the outsiders always wrong. The lovers of pugilism in New York have evidently had their legs thoroughly pulled since the Horton The pugs have, according to all llion dollars out of FRAUDULENT PRIZE-FIGHTING.

ENATOR HANNA, speaking as ‘chairman of S the Republican National Committee, has once more warned Republicans of the danger of overconfidence and emphasized the need of immediate organization for active and earnest campaigning. The Senator concedes that every prospect of the time points to a Republican victory, that all the conditions { of the country justify » firm assurance of it, and yet just by reason of those things there is a menace of in- difference verging upon apathy which forebodes ill to the party. It i to be noted the Democrats have been stirred te something like jubilation over the Democratic gains and Republican losses in Vermont and in Maine. They have figured out that if similar changes occur elsewhere T calculations are of course valueless except so far as they stimulate and arouse a party whose members have hitherto been too despondent to do much earnest campaigning. ful men in their ranks the Bryanite leaders will of course exaggerate the gains of their party in the Sep- tember elections as much as possible. They will con- trast the returns from Vermont and from Maine this | | year with those of 1806, when the Republican majori- | ties were abnormally large, and they will as far as | they can conceal the fact that the Republican majority in each of those States is this year larger than it was cver before, with the sole exception of that record- breaking year. Leaving the Democratic leaders to indulge what- ever joy they may find in counting chickens before ! they are hatched, and in calculating a Bryan victory in November because in Vermont and Maine the | Rryanites were this year snowed under by a maiority u little less heavy than was that of four years ago, | Republicans will begin from this time to wage the contest with renewed ardor. Republican “leaders are t indulging in the claptrap of predicting an easy and sure victory. They are exhorting the party to | organize. and are rallvingall the friends of prosperity to the field of battle. In his address to the Hamilton Club at Chicago on Tuesday Senator Hanna said: “Is it any wonder that men who have lived during the last four years in comparison with those four preceding should fecl comfortable? Is it aay wonder that we should have f2ith in our institutions, in our country and in our- selves after the years of McKinley's administration? | But I want to suggest that this is no time to enjoy comfort, but rather to make ourselves ready for the work which is before vs, which is of more importance than that of four years ago. We can prove that by ourselves. Every max's condition can be compared by himself. His environment and his observation are object I¢ssons, and if we expect a continuance of these conditions we must feel and act that our full duty can- | not be transferred upon the shoulders of our neigh- bors.” ; : That is the lesson fer Republicans to bear in mind. No man can safely transfer his duty to the shoulders of another, nor stay at home in comfort and wait for another voter to mairtain prosperity. Such negli- gence of the duties of citizenship would result in de- fcat and blight even the glowing prospects that now shine with omens of Republican victory all over the land. - - We always do things on a grand scale.
