How Much Proft2

1t would be interesting to know ex-
actiy what the active and jealous Re-
pablicans who exerted themselves so
much last YEAR to elect Garfield think
they made by their investment. But
for the efforts OF Messrs. Conkling, Lo-
gan. Cameron. Dorsey, and their asso-
coates he would have been overwhelm-
iDgly defeated. General Grant threw
himself into the breach and filled the
chasm by his vast personal prestige.
Merchants. bankers, business men, con-
tractors, and clerks gave their money
freely to bribe voters and hire repeaters
to carry doubtful States by notorious
ami admitted frauds. Mr.. Garfield has
been in office little over two months.
He has been President long enough to
show h s character, to outline his poll
CIV. to let the country know what to ex-
pect. Do the men who elected him
feel satisfied with their bargain to day?
We put the question in all Serious
ness for their consideration, not as
taunt. But for the extraordinary and
unwarrantable exertiOn made to eject
Garfield, General Hancock would have
been, elected by a large majority. He
was the spontaneous choice of the
American people. Do the men who
resorted to unjustifiable if not corrupt
means to defeat him feel proud of their
work to-day? How much better off are
you, Senator Conkling, now that you
have got your man in the White House,
than you would have been with Han
cock there? How much profit is it to
the capitalists, and merchants and
bankers to have Garfield in the White
Ho1se instead of Hancock? Has a SIN
gle interest of the country been pro-
noted by Gartield's election? What
has been gained to Offset all the cost
and corruption of Garteld's election,
and atone for the disgrace that he has
brought already?
The situation teaches lesson which
good citizens would do well to heed
Before entering into another campaign
in which you are asked to sacrifice your
convictions and preferences, and give
money to be spent in base and corrupt
WAYS, remember Garfield. and see what
you are 10 gain by the sacrifice. Y

Something Singular.

There is something singular. if not
suspicious about the abandonment of
the search for the author OF the Morev
letter. The boosted determination of
the Republican National Committee,
under the injunction of Mr.. Garfield,
Ito hunt the rascal down." has sud-
denly yielded to a ''want of funds"
as if the office holders could not be as
sessed as readily for the small amount
required for the prosecution of the
search as for the immense sums col
lected from them for campaign pur-
poses. There would be no trouble at
all IN raising the necessary sum to car
ry on the investigation if Mr.. Jewell,
the Chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, really meant to
prosecute the matter in good faith.
The acquittal of Philip, the writer of
the article in Truth sustaining the
genuineness of the letter, will go far
toward convincing the public that
the Republican National Committee
never had any good ground for pro-
nouncing the article a forgery. Not a
scintilla OF testimony has been produced
to show that the signature of Mr.. Gar
field to that letter is not in his own
proper handwriting. His own assertion
to the contrary, made in the midst OF a
heated campaign and viewed in the
Light of his discredted statement in the
Credit Mobiiier matter, goes for little.
Experts in chirography diler as to
whether the Signature to the letter is
the handwriting OF Garfield, but not a
few OF them, after making careful
microscopic examination, have pro-
nounced the autograph genuine. Still
the letter may have been forged. 1t is
due to the public that every effort
should be made by the Committees
representing the two great political par

it to be genuine. The Republican Ma
tional Committee made capital of
the Democratic Committee action
by denouncing it as the base>t of
crimes. 1t is certainly the interest of
one, if not both, of these Committees to
ascertain the truth, and, having ascer-
tanned it, to give it to the public. Some
time ago it was reported that Mr..
A BRAN S. Hewitt. of the Democratic
National Committee. had proffered Mr..
Jewell pecuniary assistance IL his eff
forts to discover the author of the let
ter. MI. Barnum would no doubt also
lend helping hand if he did not know
that Mr.. Jewell has given up the hunt
Legally considered, the case now stands
against the Republican Committee.
Their charge of forgery is unsupported
by proof and they have not indicted nor
even indicated the criminal. On the
other hand, the editor who libeled
Garfield, if the letter was not genuine,
has been acquitted on the charge of
criminal libel instituted against him.
There is my stery connected with the
matter which must be cleared up if
public opinion is to settle down finally
against the authenticity of the letter.

Our Faithful Servant.

value entirely, the faithfulness and no.
bility of the horse claim our respect and
kind, considerable treatment at our hands.
But it is not improbable that with most
of us the consideration of value out
weighs every other. Let us treat the
subject, therefore, in that light, hoping,
however, that the matter of kindness is
not foreign to any of us who own horses.
At the beginning of the work-life of the
horse, most of us commit serious err
ror. We begin to work our colts too
young, or rather begin to work them
hard when they are too young. 1t can
not be expected that very young ami
NAL can as easily perform labor as one
that is fully developed. 1t is very true
that the expense of keeping a young
horse in idleness, or comparative idle
Is it as great as the damage done by
the colt is not fully developed; it is still
in the process of growth, and to exact of
it as much as we would of an older horse
would necessarily be detrimental. The
animal should be worked lightly, but not
to extremes, and if the farmer will adopt
the plan of favoring the young horse
until it is five or six years old, he will
find that he has made money by the op-
Grafton.
The matter of proper feeding is one
of great Importance in the treatment of
our farm horses, and yet one that some
men appear to regard as exceedingly
slight. With the vast majority of farm
ers there is excellent system in feeding,
because there are regular hours for
going to work and regular hours for
quitting work. But this is not univer-
sally true, and if there is one thing more
reprehensible than another in the man.
agement of farm horses, it is the irregu-
larity of feeding. Irregularity of feed
ing ourselves or our animals will soon
show its results. Whether in man or
beast, imperfect digestion will soon be
the consequence, and an imperfect di-
gestion is good foundation for all kinds
of diseases and a forerunner of perma-
nent disability. No excuse is sufficient
to relieve the irregular feeder of the re-
sponsibility which rests upon him. The
horse should be fed at certain times,
and nothing should prevent it. If so fed
he will do his work easily, will be gen.
erally free from ailments, and will re-
main a good horse, if he was one at the
beginning.
Next to regularity is the Importance
of proper food. Generally the horse is
given too much bulky food. He literal
" stuffs himself with hay, and in such
condition the most inexperienced can
not help seeing that the animal is very
uncomfortable, and that it is an effort
for it to move or breathe. The lungs
have not room to expand, the DIGESTIVE
apparatus is overloaded and clogged,
and the nervous system is naturally af-
fected. Under such circumstances it is
positively dangerous to require of the
animal any heavy work or q fast pace.
One authority states that at least one
half of the diseases to which the horse
is liable. are caused SHY bad food or
good food badly administered. In or

Queer Proceedings Of a Nevada Tree.

A gentleman of this place has tree
which is species of acacia. 1t was
grown from seed brought from Aus
tralia. The tree is now sapling eight
feet in height, and it is in full foliage
and growing rapidly. 1t is leguminous,
and very clearly shows the characters
tics of the mimOsa, or sensitive plant.
Regularly every evening, about the time
the "chickens 90 to roost, the tree goes
to roost. The leaves fold together, and
the ends of the tender twigs coil them
selves up like the tail of well-condi-
toned pig. After one of the twigs has
been stroked or handled, the leaves
move uneasily and are in sort of mild
commotion for a minute or more. All
this was known about the tree, but it
was only yesterday that it was discov-
cred that the tree had in it much more
of life and feeling than it had ever be-
fore been credited with. The tree be-
ing in quite a small pot, one which it
was fast outgrowing, it was thought best
to give it one of much larger size. Yes
terday afternoon the tree was transfer
red to its new quarters. 1t resented the
operation of its removal to the best of
its ability.
Arriving at his residence about the
time the tree had been transplanted, the
gentleman found the house in q grand
commotion. On asking what was up, he
was told that they had transplanted the
tree according to orders and the opera
ton had " made it very mad" Hardly
had it been placed in its new quarters
before the leaves began to stand up in
all directions like the hair on the tail of
an angry cat, and soon the whole plant
was in a CULVER. This could have been
endured, but at the same time it gave
out an odor most pungent and sickening
just such smell as is given off by
rattlesnakes and many other kinds Of
snakes in summer when leased. This
odor so filled the house and was SO
sickening that it was found necessary to
open the doors and windows. 1t was
fully an hour before the plant Gained
down and folded its leaves in peace. 1t
would probably not have given up the
fight even then had it not been that its
time for going to roost had arrived. 1t
is probably needless to add that the
whole household now stand in not lit
tie awe of the plant as being thing more
