Surplus Horses.

As farmers continue breeding after
the war, the same as they did during
its progress, the result has been an
over supply of both horses and mules;
the stoppage of railroad building and
of mining has destroyed another
large demand, and where TO find a
market for them has been an impor-
tant question. | would suggest the
formation of stock companies in the
eastern cities to supply England with
ichoce work and saddle horses, ard
Paris with fat ones for her shambles.
Portable stalls can be put on the
ocean steamers to carry them over,
and then taken down, leaving the
usual space for freight. Stables
can be provided where they could be
sold. Two markets would thus be
opened, in which, / think, moro
money could be made than in any
other stock trade.
This subject should attract the at
tention of sh;pmasters, as it can be
made very large branch of business
to them. 10 facilitate this enter
prise, series of monthly fairs should
be established at different points
say Detroit, Toledo, Milwaukee, Chi
cage, Cincinnati and St. Louis, where
buyers could select what Their need in
one day. There are plenty of compe
tent men and abundant capital in the
East to develop this new and lucra-
tive trade. The West will furnish
plenty Of sound, stylish and fat
horses for her share. By getting i'm
proved cars on the railroads, and
adapting vessels for this purpose,
this trade can be so developed as to
add largely to our exports, and soon
to affect the price of stock, particu-
larly in England. In few months
routes will be opened over which
stock could be shipped for much less
money, and in better condition.
Every body who eat fresh meat is in
terested in having that meat delivered
in healthy condition, and that is
nearly impossible by the present

our assessors list effectually contra
diets the stories of his large wealth.
At the same time Mr.. Blaine is very
comfortably supplied with this
worlds goods, and no man in any
community has ever used his re-
sources more wisely, more generously,
more charitably. At his home these
stories pass as. the idle wind. 1t is
only in distant States, where the facts
are not known, that mischief may
arise from this circulation OF untruths.
As a very good answer to these sto-
ries we requote the subjoined para
graph from the Pitsburg CPa,) Com
mercial, near which city Mr.. Blaine's
real estate is located The CONNER
cial says:
zone of the frequent charges made
by Democratic papers is that Mr..
Blaine entered Congress poor man
in 1868 and is now millionaire.
As to his being a millionaire, it is to
be presumed the assertion is merely
one of those extravagant statements
which belong to the literature of po-
Iiticals campaigns But as to his
being poor man in 1868 every one
familiar with the coal trade and the
value of coal properties in our i'm
mediate yicinage on the Mononga-
helay river, knows the assertion to be
completely at varience with the fact.
Long before 1868, indeed, as far back
as the Democratic ADMINISTRATION of
Mr.. Buchanan, it is known that Mr..
Blaine owned one of the finest coal
properties on the Monongahela,
which returned much larger income
than a Congressional salary, many
years before he was candidate for
Congress. This fact the Allegheny
county register of deeds established
in the most dsputable manner, and
we refer to it simply to show how
wild and reckless certain papers have
grown to be III their charges against
conspicuous and influential Repub-
licans. 1t should be stated, more
over, that the business reputation of
Mr.. Blaine in circles where he is well
known stands very high. Those who
are familiar with his attention to de-
tails, his industry, his energy, his en-
terprise, and his integrity, find no
cause for wonder in the fact that he
has became, not millionaire, but
man of independent fortune, destined
probably, in the development and
advance of his coal property, uiti-
mately to attain to the possession of
large wealth"

CENTENNIAL NOTES.
Some Points Of Difference Between 1875 and
1915


Silver was not very much below
par in 177G.
There was more British than
American failures in 1916.
California was not disturbed by the
Chinese question in 1916.
They had "strikes' in l776, but
they all struck for Liberty.
Let us see people did not go to
Philadelphia in palace cars in l776.
A calico dress for the belle of 1776
cost rather more than fifty cents.
The ''pull backs of 1776 were of
different character from those of the
present day.
There were no four hundred seats
reserved for the press in Philadelphia
in l776.
John Bull aud Bill Allen did the
"elasping" across the "bloody chasm"
in 1776.
In 1916, "penitentiary birds" did
not fill prominent positions in the
Continental Congress.
John Honcock had no "writing
machine" when he signed the Dec.
laration of Independence.
There were not many men at Phila-
DELPHI a to-day who were there 100
years ago.
The girls of 1910 did not sit in the
parlor while their mothers were wear
ing out wash-boards.
There were no Pendletons in those
days to absorb an enormous and un-
justifiable appropriation.
The women did not refuse to en-
courage patriotic sentiments in 1875,
because they could not vote
The "cockade" was fashionable in
those days, but it is the "cock-tail"
that takes with the people now.
In 1916 the best minds in the coun-
try were not disturbed by The pres
ence of Presidential maggots.
Anna Dickinson would have been
a better Revolutionary mother or sis
ter, in 1776, than actress in 1875
The "ToIedo Blade" was in great
demand in 1916, but not equal to the
demand for the Toledo Blade to day.
The Centennial should have a full
set of farm implements used in l776,
to contrast with those in use to-day.
John Hancock's hand did not trem-
BILE for want of a morning dram, and
there was no shaking of bis courage.
In 1916 there were no Democrats
in Indianapolis to shoot down ne
groes because they were loyal to
Liberty's flag.
The "rebels" in the Centennial
Congress were of different stripe
from those found in the present Con-
gress
The fifty six members of the Cont
mental Congress who signed the Dec
laration of independence, knew moth
ing about Credit Mobiliers.
Grant started the large Centennial
engine to-day; but it is nothing in
magnitude to the one which the Con-
tinental Congress started in 1916.
A great many people who remain
away from the present Centennial
Exposition, in the hope that times
may be better when the next one
opens.
Those who prosecuted men on ac-
count OF their loyalty to a free Gov
eminent in 1776, were red coats.
Now, they wear the White League
uniform.

the m ney from the husbands pocket
book, and married life is SO sweet
for the rest of that day.
Now what, as man, | maintain
about this phase of domestic shams
is simply this: The "black silk
dress idea," which is the normal type
of American woman's dressing, is
simply an attempt to be always in a
superlative condition of dress which
is too commonly the average Ameri-
can ambition.
English women dress in woolens !;
French women draw their wardrobes
from variety of textures but the
American women, with this prevail
ing pillow-sham idea running through
their lives, canDot be happy unless
they are continually in mud and rain,
in horse-cars and in trains, at their
social best. Consequently they are
arrayed in thin and shiny silk, cheap
they may be, but at least they are
silks.
But | won't croak any more to-
day, for fear of becoming hoarse and
unpleasant. | might go into the do
nestle shams of solid sllverware, safe
and paid for in the bank, while we
use the plated ware in our cottage
homes. | might go into some of the
social shams of the present age, after
the fashion of that little book which
is SO old and so funny, "Thinks / to
myself )" but let me forbear. No
doubt there is true social instinct
down at the root of things in our
wives and mothers and daughters
an instinct to preserve the idea and
cherish that which is best and most
truly refined.
Let us hope this is the explanation
of it. Let US believe that we men
are apt to forget the power of social
sentiment in the presence of that daily
grinding question What is the
use (Which stares us in the face
so continually.
Therefore, let US believe that men
are the possible and practical, and
that woman is the ideal unattainable.
This has an Emersonian sound. 1t
reads well; it looks as if it might be
philosophical,
But / doubt if this will satisfy us
the next time we come home for a
welcome, and are greeted with the
warning cry, Don't lie on the pillow

the nasty things into the baby's crib,

Laborers Leaving the United States.

Since the panic of 1873 the tide of
emigration (says the Boston POST,
which hitherto had set constantly
and strongly to our shores, bringing
with it some of the best and most
valuable skilled laborers of the Old
World, has boon gradually turning in
the Opposite direction. During the
last two years, as shown by reliable
statistics already published in the
Post, the number of outward bound
storage passengers by the steamship
lines running between this port aud
Liverpool has largely exceeded the
number arriving.
Last Fall this exodus Of labor was
large; but it was hoped that with the
return of Spring, business would have

ment, which is evidently draining the
country of its weath-producing fore

real zed. The outflow not only con-
tiDues undated, but is apparently on
the increase. Week before last the

205. 1t is evident that large num-

An Ohio Gentleman Visits Fashion
able Church.

Some years ago, being in Philadel-
phia, John Cockerill, of Ohio re-
ceived an introduction TO promi-
nent divine of that city. The rever-
end gentleman invited John to at
tend his church on q certain Sunday,
which invitation was accepted.
They entered the sacred edlfice
together. IL was one of the first
churches in the city, and its mem
bers were fashionable and aristo-
cratic in the extreme. The minister
put John in an deliberately furnished
pew, well to the front. John nestled
comfortably down into one corner of
the same, and looked about as inter-
esting and contented as toad uuder
cabbage-leaf.
After q while the owner of the
pew arrived. and at once gave signs
of intense disgust and Indignation at
the presence of the interloper. He
looked at John, looked at the pew,
scowled magnificently, and finally,
