HOW MANY HORSES ARETHEHEq

The prevalence Of the horse disease,
which has 80 disastrously affected business
in various parts of the country during the
last two or three weeks, makes it OF some
interest TO note how vast is he capital 10
vested in horses In this country, which has
been placed in jeopardy by the epidemic.
The census shows that there were in 1870,
S,6l9,219. Of these 1885,, $40 are offarms,
and 1,547,370 in cities and towns and 9th
erwise not on farms. The number in each
State is SIS follows: Alabama 2,S07, Ari-
IONA 4,432, Arkansas 292 ,240, California
241, 146, Colorado 1887, Connecticut 81, ;
129, Dakota 3,243, Delaware Is, 633, Flor
ida 14,451, Georgia 1l0,237, Idaho 2,775,

The total number was es-
timated at 100000 in February last.
they are estimated to have ieen worth
1863, 797 ,9l6, the average price Of each ami
nal being $73 81. They sra owned in the
largest numbers in New York, Texas, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Pennsylvania
the great agricultural States of the country.
There are also in the United States 1916
300 mules, valued at SS,242 PIG. The
gross value of the horses and mules Of the
whole country is $3.50, 1876, 232, compared
with 1921 ,562, 1893 in oxen and other cattle;
1929, 408, 9S3 in milk cows; $S8,77l,197 in
sheep, and $l3S, 1888, 1913 in hogs. It will be
seen from these figures how serious an in
road would be made upon the business Of
the country if from any cause we should
be deprived of our horses permanently, or
for any length of time. Itis fact, in spite
of the great additions that are constantly
making to the means of general locomo-
ton, that the demand for horses
is rapidly gowing in all parts of
the world. The horse is an indis-
p9nsable agent in civilization. Every
one has been made to feel how much dis
comfort as well as actual loss is en-
tailed upon the community by the absence
of horses for few days from their usual
work, but it is too early yet TO ascertain the
actual diminution of number which will re-
suit from the disease now raging. The
number of horses in the country has in-
creased very rapidly since the close of the
war, and for the past year, or longer, the
price of horse flesh has been reduced. If
/ he result of the epidemic shall be to raise
the value of good horses for some time,
some of the horse men will not be sorry.

FRoUDE AND FATHER BURKE.

It's re ported from New York that Fa.
ther Burke's series of lectures in opposi-
ton 10 Froude, now in progress, are max
ing more Of an impression than was antlci-
p.ted. The belief is quite general that the
English historian is getting the worst of It.
The New York Tribune says: DIN several
respects the two champions are well match
ed. Mr. Froude is an admirable represe Mt
alive Of the Eugishmen who su5dued Ire
land. depopulsted her fairest territories,
cushed her national church, and have held
the island for 700 years in uneasy subjec-
ton. He speaks for those who believe the
cuouest justified aud the Engllsh rule
blessing. for those who look upon the Irish
asan ,uft rior race, incapable Of sell; govern-
mepi. and not TO be encouraged when they
cain the same political privileges as other
reonle. Father Burke, on the contrary, is
: tynical Irishman of the best class, elo-
oueDt learned, patriotic, and devoted
TO The creed which has Influenced so
strongly he Irish character and irish histo-
~. ard which Mr.. Froude so cordially de-
tests. Tie people of the United States,
who are invited to be the judges OF this
debate. will follow both sides with the
daepast interest" The Tribune adds sig
niicaptIy: at may he doubted, however,
whether the English people will be grateful
10 their champion for his rather Quixotic
enterprise. He has come here to convince
rs that our sympathy for Ireland has been
misapplied, ard the result Of his endeavOr
NAV perhaps be to arouse a warmer and
more general sympathy for that unfortu-
nate country than we ever felt before"
It is stated that ex-Congressman Wm'
+. Robinsoa will also deliver course OF
lectures, ia reply to Froude, at the AcAue-

TBE RESULT.
From the Woodbury. Press

We have no inclination TO eXprobate the
men who honestly differed from rs in opin-
ior; neither have we any bitter words to
say against them. Many honestly thought
that we (the people Of Teunessee) owed
johnson u debt, and acting from this con-
viction, gave him their influence aud sup
port. To such men as this, we say, come
back, and unite with us again, and aid us in
restoring peace, harmony and fraternity in
the Conservative ranks. But TO slI such as
gave countenance and encouragement TO
the disrupture of the party for self agrand-
jzement, and have since sneaked off in the
Radical party, We say TO them, ''wsyward
sisters, depart in peace"

From the Ripley News.

There is but one lesson tlat the recent
| unlocked for Radical victories in this State
! can teach, and il is to be hoped the Liber
| als-and by the term Liberal we mean to
| include every element of deposition to Rad
| ical.sm-Yill ponder well the lesson so
dearly bought and profit by it. We must
organize, and stand by our organization.
! 1t is useless now TO stop to ask who is re-
sponsible for this WateFl o defeat, or TO
! heap curses upon the heads of those who
| knew their duty, but failed to discharge It.
| Let us rather forget that We have hsd dis
sensions in our ranks, fill up as quickly as
| possible the breach that divided us and
! clasp hands in united endeavor to retrieve
| the folly of the past few months by organ
izing our party, disclplining our forces, and
| preparing 10 enter again into the contest
with renewed vigor and strength. The
| Liberal party of Tennessee, properly organ
| lied and disciplined, is inVincible. and can
| only suffer defeat at the hands Of its own
members when they lift the suicidal knife
! and cut the bands that link us together in
| a common cause. Let US see that we are
not again betrayed in the house Of our
friends, or lulled to sleep by the syren song
of our most dangerous enemy, The oily
tongued disorganizer who would grind his
axe at the expense of the liberties OF bis peO-
pie. Let us organize and watch, remem-
bering that 'fEgernal vigilance is the price
of Liberty"
From the jackson Wing and Tribune.
With a clear Liberal majority in Tennes-
see, of so or 70 thousand, the Republicans
have elected seven out Of ten members of
the next Congress. Without, in any manner
intending to censure anybody, we may be
permitted to say that this result is due to
want of organization. Let the dead bury
the dead; but in the future, unite all the
elements of opposition, and make one ire
sistible charge along the whole line.
NAMES, NOT THINGS.
From the Memphis Appeal.
The talk of making a party popular by a
nams is absurd. We tried it in a fusion,
with a portion Of the Republican party, In
the late Presidential election. At The North,
at this moment, Liberal Republican is
more abhorred than a Democrat. He is
looked upon IS sort of traitor. At all
events the fusion is signalized in the great
est defeat any party as tie North ever ex-
perienced at the polls. It's vote is immen-
sely behind the vote Of the Democratic
party at the previous Presidential election.
No name significant of justice and freedom
viii be approved ny those who despiSe these
attributes in government. He who has
a proud, free spirit, prefers free, honest Re-
publican rulers, but politician is a natural
slave, naturally bending before the assump-
tons Of despotism. a coward naturally
clings to force, and. would make
Party's name without any reference to its
purposes or creed, a pretext for its aban-
donm Mt, We dstest the empty, absurd
chatter about party names.
