HORSE TIME"

Time is money" is an aphorism
which holds good as to men, but when
il comes to horse time, it would be more
correct to say, slime is millions"
After Maud y. had trotted a mile IN
the unprecedented time o. 2;llt, she IS
said to have been salable at $4,000,
and several offers at that figure were
made for her.
But when the marc had done a mile
in 2:lOi, it is said that divers tuiimen
were willing to give 100000 Tor her,
considering that her making the fastest
trotting time on record in the world Is
fully worth the advance OF 100 per cent
The fact that one-hali OF a second Is
rated at $4,000 is a fresh and striking
exemplication OF the value oftine when
il "a "horse time" Hardly anybody
would imagine time to be so valuable as
that. 1t very rarely could be to men,
but with horses it is different.
1t has only been a few years since a
"three minute horse was looked upon
with about as much admiration and sur
prise as was the first locomotive on a
railway. Flora Temple immortalized
herself by eclipsing the three minute
record, and then the horse ianciers went
TO work Systematically for the develop
ment OF speed.
Dexter brought the record down to
OILS, and then Goldsmith's Maid re-
dpced it to 2:l4 or less. Now Maud ).
comes to the front early in the present
season, to show a reduction OF the record
TO 2:l0s.
Those who believe the minimum has
been reached should recall like proph'
ecies when the record stood at 5 MIN
utes only a few years ago, or when
Flora Temple became a national wonder
with a record OF 2:4O.
1t ought not to be a surprise it, with
the attention now being given to breed
ing horses for speed, and the skill and
knowledge every year acquired by horse
men in training them for this purpose,
the animal should be found which will
trot a mile in 2 minutes. That is very
fast: i. is railroad time; and it would re-
quire a superb animal, with every
muscle developed to its best capacity
and all the conditions OF the most favor
able character; but, We believe 1t Will
yet be done.
|, will be remembered that nearly or
quite all the horses which have made
the best records so far,are horses picked
ND by chance, so to speak. They have
had the accident OF good breeding, 1t Is
true, but have not generally had skllLiuI
training until they have chance to fall
into the hands of professional horsemen
after reaching a mature age.
The one exception is in the case OF
Maude S, who is still young-in her
sixth year, and has had professional
training since she has been old enough
to handle, and who has, at this early
age, made the best record in the world.
Who will saw that Maude ). will not
vet make a two minute record?

NEW YORK dispatch on Saturday
says: The betting upon election results
is an indication OF public sentiment
that is rarely incorrect. The way OF
betting to-day is decidedly to the adj
vantage of the Democratic candidates.
Thus betting men offer the odds OF 500
70 $50 that Hancock will he elected
President; 800 to $50 that Indiana
soes Democratic, and even bets that
Ohio goes Democratic. The odds on
New York going Democratic are 500 to
$50. They claim that with offering
these odds they find it difficult to get
bets, and that the Republican politi-
clans and betters are shy at accepting
the Odds"

CAN WE SPARE INDIANA

The elections to be held n week
from to-day, will practically determine
the Presidential contestin November.
The total electoral vote 10 369; neces-
sary to a choice lS5.
There are l3S electoral votes in the
Southern States, which are conceded to
the Democracy. There are, therefore,
AZ additional votes necessary to make a
Democratic majority.
The campaign in 1876 was made Tor
the States OF New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut, which collectively have %
electoral votes. We carried those three
States but were counted out in the
South.
II we carry these three states in No.
yember, and get l3S votes from the
South, il will give us lsS votes, or three
of a majority in the electoral college.
With these three States We shall not
need Indiana. II We lose Indiana we
shall need New Jersey and Connecticut
which collectively have an equal mum
Der OF votes with Indiana.
In either case we shall need New
York. II we lose New York aud carry
all the other States now regarded as
doubtful, We shall fail OF a majority
unless we should carry Ohio.
The Republicans have lS5 votes IN
States that are regarded as certain to go
Republican. They will, therefore, need
so additional votes to give them a ma
iority. II they carry Ohio, New York
and Indiana, they will have a majority.
Or if they carry Ohio, New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut, they will have
a majority. II they fail in New IorK
AMI carry all other doubtful States they
will still not have q majority.
l. will be g therefore, that New
York is really the pivotal State. 1t Is a
necessity TO the winning party which,
ever that may be, unless sohle o'Hei
States now regarded as certain for one
or the other party shall make a new de-
parturs. When the results OF the cleo
tons of next week have been ascertain
ed the great battle OF the campaign Will
begin in New York, unless, indeed
Ohio should go Democratic, in which
ease there would not be much el a bat
tie in any State. 1t would be a walk
overfor HANCOCK.
The States which are classed by both
parties among the doubtful, are Callior'
MIA, Connecticut, Indiana, New jersey
New York and Oregon. The Democ
racy has the advantage OF having carried
all OF these States in 1876, except Can
iornia and Oregon. Since 1876 Maine
has been advanced to the doubtful o
umn, il indeed, ii has not been made
certain for HANCOCK and ENGLISH.

The New York Herald OF Sunday is 4
paper OF twenty-five pages and one hum
dred and thirty-two columns. 1t mdi-
Gates a business boom. The Herald says:
In days gone by a Presidential canvass
sensiblv affected the business Of the
country, for in the midst OF these quad
r~enniai excitements people seemed TO
lose interest in everything but the polit-
zeal struggle in witch they were engaged.
All this IS now happily changed, and the
mercantile community finds itself in so
excellent a condition that the present
canvass has but little influence on the
volume OF business.

WHEN the Republicans talk about the
danger OF in%terrupting the existing era
OF prosperity by a change in the govern
ment, it is always well to remind them
that the Republican party has had
nothing TO do with originating legisla-
ton since 1876, and no power to make
laws since 1874. The country has had
plenty OF chances to find ont what the
Democratic policy is during the past half
dozen wears it has been in power, but as
the Republican party has had no power
TO do anything but obstruet legislation
since 1t counted in HAYES, no one can
tell what it would do il he hal the
chance Of making laws again.

The Springfield Republican hits the
nail squarely on the head when it says;
"Wars change no sentiments but alter
facts, and facts in the long run mould
sentiments" The civil wal abolished
slavery, throttled secession and saved
the union. Those are the facts, as es-
tablished by the court of last resort, and
a restoration OF the antebelium coudl-
dition is utterly impossible. The senti-
ment. of the South are being rapidly
changed and moulded by the new con-
dition Of facts, and ii the politicians
would leave Southern sentiments alone
the country would be greatly benefited.
Sancho Panza fighting wind-mll!s was
not more foolish or unwise than are
those who expect mems opinions to be
whipped out OF .hem or changed by
force. Let us be thankful for the
changed condition OF facts and leave the
rest to time.

Oil is used in tem- pering files, and, as near as I can learn, some that were red hot were too suddenly precpi- tated into the oil, which splashed all around and over Bagln, and then enveloped him and the shop in tiames, and so suddenly did the flames fill the room that he barely escaped, with his arms and face severely burned. While the help that was near were engaged in extinguishiDg the fire from the clothes of Bag lin, the building had become all ablaze.
