$50 Their Satisfaction"

In his letter of acceptance, Robert L.
Pattison, Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, makes use of these words: 81
accept the nomination for Governor,
and, if chosen for the office by the peo.
pie, | will strive to perform its duties to
their satisfaction"
He will perform the duties of his
office to the satisfaction of the people.
These are golden words. How long has
it been since candidate for Goyernor
of either party, made use of them in
accepting his nomination !? So long
ago, in fact, that we do not remember
to have ever read them before. Letters
OF acceptance are generally drawn up
i'll the regulation style, and couched in
language TO suit the party leaders. 1t
is the rule, and the exceptions are few
and far between" that public offices of
all grades, from President down to tide.
waiter, are administered in the interest
of the man who holds it for the time
being, of the bosses who nominated
him, or in the interest of the party he
represents. Of late years, the Repub.
lican leaders have taught the people
That offices are no longer places of pub
lie trust, but reward for party services,
and the mere idea that the people at
large, the tax payers who pay the salary,
have any interest in the way the office
is administered is considered ridicu-
lous fiction. But Mr.. Pattison's letter
of acceptance enunciates a new doc.
trine. 1t distinctly recognizes the
power OF the people, that the Offices
belong to them, and, in case OF his
election, he pledges himself to admin.
ister his high trust to their satisfaction,
and in their interest. This is coming
down to what may be termed political
hard pan, and announces the great
principle that in this country the gov.
crnment must be "a government of the
people, for the people, and by the peo.
pie"
What a magnificent declaration this
is to start out with in political cam.
paig3 There never was a clesrer rec.
ognition of the source of all political
power. When Governor Pattison is
approached by boss, party manager,
and ask to switch off the ship of State
and run it in his interest, he has but to
hold up his letter of acceptance, as he
says he cannot, and show his pledge
that he is Jouad to administer the gov.
ernment to the peoples satisfaction
Well done, Pattison You have a clear
idea of the true inwarduess of Office
holding, and the people can trust you
with political power. If Beaver has
any idea on Office holding, above ad.
mlnistering to the satisfaction of the
bosses, let him stand up and answer.-

JUDGE RAUM, the stalwart Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue, is about
to enter upon his usual course of cam
paigning. He is an adriot campaigner,
and is generally employed in doubtful
districts, where the most can be made
of the assessed plunder placed at his
disposal. His first appearance is to
be in Maine, which seems to need the
fostering work of the revenue depart
ment badly. He will of course tell
the people of Maine, that he and his
officers only draw $5,10S,300, for col
lecting internal revenue, which the
universal sentiment of the country
considers entirely unnecessary, and in
all decency and justice to the people,
should be abandoned.

MIR. Vanderbilt's Fast Mare,
"hIaud So

By far the sweetest, prettiest thing at
Saratoga is Maud S. The other morning
l went down to Vanderbilt's private
stables Just back of Congress Hall to see
this beautiful creature that can clip it
faster than an express train on a down
grade. The head groom after surveying
me concluded that 1 was a harmless
atom. and invited me in. II want to
see Maud S" said I. "Do you show her
to strangers" ooh, yes" he answered
good-naturedly, ''lots of'em come in
here and they all want to see her." He
led the way to her stall, which is about
ten feet square and as dainty as lady's
boudoir. and there, with light horse
cover to keep the flies off her was the
great mare. She seemed delighted to
have company, and like all other we'll
bred creatures, was good-natured and
affable and devoid of airs. Her coat was
softer than satin, and she has the most
earnest and intelligent eye ever seen in
an animals head. She shifted around
complacently and rubbed her slender
nose against me as if we were old ac-
Quaintances; in three minutes we had
established intimate relations. The
groom TOOK Oh nef cover ana turned ner
around to show her off to my ineSpe
rienced eyes, when, her hind legs COM
ing a little too close to me, | made a bolt
for the door of the STALL "Come back"
said he, laughing, "she would no more
think OF kicking or biting you than you
would think of striking her. She is so
kind and well-disposed you'd think she
was a human. He was evidently de-
lighted to have an appreciated listener,
and was ready enough to talk about the
queen of the turf Mr.. Vanderbilt is not
driving her at all now. She is in train
ing for the fall races, and every morning
at 10 o'clock her trainer takes her out
for spin down the road. Mr.. Wander
biit is not half so proud of her as the sta
ble-men are, and she is indeed a crea-
ture SO gentle, so loveable, and so alto
gether the ideal horse, that anything
could love her.

Horses Harvesting Themselves.

What is quoted as "horse sense" is
frequently nothing more than horse
habit, showing what almost any animal
can learn by practice; but it is true that
the modern educated" city fre-engine
horses as a rule, do wonderful credit to
their trainers, and also to their own in
telligence. The team of No. II Hose
Company, Boston Highlands, are good
specimens of this.
They are handsome animals and as
noted for their remarkable intelligence
as for their fine appearance. Under the
care of the members, the horses have
become very tractable, and are obedient
to the slightest word or gesture. A few
mornings ago some evidences of their
Understanding were witnessed, and are
we'll worth detailing.
Our horse, "Charlie," had received no
food since the night previous, and when
he was given his mornings supply of
oats, he began eating with great zest,
but the words, "Charlie, come eere,"
spoken in low tone from the rear ofthe
stable. caused him instantly to stop
eating his tempting breakfast, and to
hack from his stall and walk to the per-
son calling him. Each of the horses did
the same thing without hesitancy, and at
the command, ego back" each trotted to
his stall
The harnesses were removed from the
horses, and each one was told in success
sion to 60 and put on his collar. The
collars were placed on end, so that the
heads could 60 through, and each horse
walked deliberately across the floor and
wriggled his head into his collar without
the Slightest aid. After this they poked
their heads into their bridles,y which
were held for them, each horse opening
his mouth and taking~his bit voluntarily
The main part of the harnesses can be
hung in any part of the room with the
assurance that at the word of command
the horses will walk to the exact spot
and place themselves in such position
that the harnesses can be readily drop
ped into place.
The endeavors Of the animals to secure
position favorable to the easy adjust
ment Of the collars almost compels one
to believe that they are endowed with
reason.

Vanderbilt's Public Picture Gal


A few weeks ago, in an of-hand por-
trait William H. Vanderbilt, published
in the New York Knickerbocker, Ste
phen Fisk wrote: Donations like the

OF statues and fountains, are yet to come;
but those who have been let into the Sc
cret OF Mr.. Vanderbilt's plans and pur-
poses have no fear that any other mil
llonalre will surpass him in public ben
eiactlon." The New York Spirit of the
