HONESTY VS.. FRAUD.
Some party lately sent communication to u
Western paper over the signature Of ''Rang-
Bang" on thy subject OF how to manage trottng-
horses during campaign, tho argument of tho
writer being that the pulling Of horses WAS per-
fuctly justidable, although the grounds on which
this argument Is bascd nsc OF the most unstable
kind. The authorship OF this communication is
generally attributed to Mr.. Don Robinson, Of
Jucksun, Mich, whose sympathy for
men who pull horses was mani
Tested two years ago, when he en-
deavorcd to have the. Jackson Association give a
meeting ut which all drivers who wished to pull
their horses were to be allowed to do SO. by simply
giving notice to the Association that they did not
intend to win. Mr.. Robinson argued that this
plum would enable men to 'telucate' thcirtrot-
tcrs without the unpleasant necessity OF giving
them a record. To illustrate his ideas OF how
ho rscs should be managed during campagn, the
writer Of the article above referred 10 takes the
cases pf the we'll known horses 1Iannis and Adele
ClusE; both Of whom started out last season with
ont any record, the Michigan Circuit being tho
commencement Of their campaign. Adele Clark
