The Mounted Patrol.

The eight members of the police force
who have been detailed for mounted patrol
duties in the outskirts of the city, will ga
on duty as soon as they can be equipped
probably by the first of next week. They
are buying horses and are selecting excel.
lent animals. Officer Swan Walton starts
off by purchasing for the purpose the beau
tiful bay thoroughbred mare brought from
Kentucky by John Thompson, paying a
round sum for her. The other officers
while not being able to secure as fine
horses will get good ones.
The mayor and Chief Munger have taken
drive through the suburbs and outskirts
of the city for the purpose of locating the
signal posts. They decided to erect one
at the corner of Lake street and Nicoliet
avenue, one on Lake street on the promi-
hence near Lagman's cemetery, one at the
Pavilion at Lake Calhoun, one
near Cedar lake, one on the brow
of the hill near Thomas Lowry's
residence, and one al the corner of Nicol-
let avenue and Twentieth street.
A code of signals will be employed in
the patrol service similar to the old army
code; flags will be used by day and colored
lights by night. These points designated
are all within sight of each other, owing to
their prominence, and from them the Off
GERS, after learning the signal code, will be
able to converse with each other.

The NesC PxnsD.

Saturday afternoon the new James
Waters pump was started up for the first
time at the pump house. 1t is almost a
perfect piece of machinery. Ponderous as
it is its action is almost noiseless, and as
the mighty wheels revolve it almost i'm
presses the spectator with awe. The com
bined pumping capacity of the two
now in full operation the
James Waters make-is 100000 gal
Ions.
A saving to the city of $34, 900 was made
in putting in this Waters pump manufac.
tured in Minneapolis instead of the Holly
pump of the same capacity, as at first pro-
jected. OF this sum $4,000 was saved
upon the machinery itself, while the re-
naming $4,000 was saved in room, the
Waters pump occupying so much less
ground room than would the Holly.
The wheel which is to run the new TO-
100000 gallons capacity pump, just con.
tracted for, is already in waiting for the
builders. When this is in operation it will
give our water works system combined
pumping capacity. of 100000 gallons,
an amount winch it would seem woulo not
be required for some years to come. New
ertheless, when all the projected extensions
of water mains are completed. it is esti-
mated that the three pumps will have all
the work they need to perform.

An Independent YietU of Ednnunds.
Harpers Weekly.l

Mr.. Edmunds has been always positive
| republican, and for many years he has
been the most welghty republican advocate
in the Senate. His speech for the elector.
al commission bill in 1877 contained the
whole argument, and the weight of his in
dividual opinion gave it immense force
He has the independence of assured con-
viction. His intellectual quality is sim
gularly firm and incisive. He is entirely
at home IN parliamentary body, and his
long career is absolutely untouched by a
hint of self-seeking. No higher tribute
could be paid to any public man than the
universal conviction in 1876, amid all the
intrigues and plots for the presidential
nomination, that he meant what he said in
declaring that he did not want it.
Mr.. Edmunds is So years old, and he has
sat in the Senate for II years. During
that long term his constructive talent has
been as evident as his ascendancy in de-
bate and his mastery of constitutional law.
He is not an orator, but he is a thoroughly
equipped debater, an acute and remorse-
less critic of fallacy and fustian and ignor
ance, with memory like a well ordered
arsenal, in which every weapon stands
brightly FURNISHED and ready for instant
use. His elevation to the presidency of
the Senate was but fitting honor from
his party associates, and it properly fills
the gap-which would have been perilous
had it been left untitled produced by the
expiration of Mr.. Davis's senatorial term.
The most striking fact in the career of
Mr.. Edmunds is that while he is one of the
most conspicuous, constant, and positive
participants in the discussions of the SEN
ate, and a regular" republican, there is
no republican leader who is so universally
acceptable to the party. In 1880 he was
understood not to be averse to the third
term project, yet he was the choice of the
strongest anti-third termers. He was
neither extensively "stalwart'' nor ''half
breed" Among republican chiefs his
position is unique, and it is due to the
fact that he holds himself entirely aloof
from the wretched business of spoils. His
position was not made by patronage, and
it does not depend upon a "machine.'
His ascendancy is actual, not Fictitious
His state is justly proud of him, as Masss-
chusetts was formerly proud of Webster,
and afterward of Sumner, and, like them,
he takes his own course. He is, however,
very conservative of the traditions of the
Senate, and of its powers. His mind is
too acute not to see the reason of reform,
and he is too just not to admit it, but his
temperament sometimes protests, so that
he may be called reformer if he can have
his own way. This habit is doubtless very
trying to his associates, and leads to the
charge of hypercriticism. But Mr.. Ed
munds was one of the earliest frieDds of re.
form in the civil service, and the bill Of
fered by Mr.. Pendleton in 1860 was SUBJ
stanfrallv the one that WAS offarad hv NJ.
Edmunds 10 years before. Probably his
chair in the Senate is more agreeable to
Mr.. Edmunds than that of the presiding
officer, and it is possible that upon the re-
assembling of the Senate in December

Tie Horses IA Minnesota.

Under the above caption the Pioneer
Press of Saturday published an article
undoubtedly original-that if justice were
done would subject the publishers to heavy
damages for hbeling tho farmers and
breeders of the state. For sample Of
the whole article, we invite attention to
the following extract:
''There are great many horses in Minnesota
with trotting records, but most of them were
brought here from other states The pure Min
nesota trotting stock, that is to say, that which
is native here, is very promising, and such ami
mails as have come to trotting age and been
put upon the track, have done excellently. Two
instances may be given-Sally Wright, by Alex
ander, and owned by Mr.. Clough, of Rochester,
has made record of 2:46 in a three-minute
race, and Eureka, ownec by Graves brothers, of
Rochester, also foaled in Minnesota, has trotted
in 2:26%."
The stupidity and ignorance shown in
the above extract is without a parallel in
our newspaper experience. The writer
while limiting the number of Minnesota
bred trotting horses with records to two,
did not have sense enough to even give
their names correctly. The ''Sally
Wright mentioned probably means the
promising young stallion Silas Wright
by De CRAFTS Alexander, but what animal
the writer had in his mind when he wrote
Eureka" staggers US. Certain it is nc
such horse, having the record with which
he is credited, is owned, saying nothing OF
being bred, in the state. But the Graves
Brothers, of Rochester, do own the veteran
stallion, Star of the West, by Jackson's
Flying Cloud, the sire of three
trotters bred in the state
with records below 2:3O, and
himself having record of 2:26A, made
at Minneapolis, Sept 81, 1872. This grand
stallion was foaled in the state in
1860, his dam, Gray Fanny, by Eureka
having been brought to the state from
Connecticut, after having been served b.
his sire, and dropping thecolt here. To hit
credit as sire are Jim Raven, 2:30; Joh1
j. Cook, 2:291a, and Lady Groesbeck
2:2512. now one of the ma
irons at Midway, and a number
of others who have made records
better than 3 minutes, bred in the state
Without going to the trouble of searching
the authorities for Minnesota horses with
records, we will mention a few who have
made their marks on the turf
viz: Flora Belle and Topsy, owned by j
G. Oswald, Minneapolis, both in the 2:3C
line; Foxie ", 2:26, by King Herod, form
erly owned by W. II. Veazie
of Marine Mills, Washington
county; the bay gelding Dutchman, record
2:30A, who showed trials before he went
amiss close to 2:2O; the grey gelding Sam
H., by Guide, who died the past winter, the
property of bud. Hersey of Saltwater; the
fve-year-old bay mare Capitola by Colona
who has shown a trial better than 2.30
Niger Baby, Black Jim, LIE Claire Jr.
Mambrino Eclipse, and Paxy. The above
comprise but small portion of the Min
nesota bred trotters with records, but serve
to illustrate the stupidity of the Pioneer
Press writer and the magnitude of his libe
upon the state.

Urn Burial Ia England.
[Pall Mall Gazette. |

L have just returned from an interesting
and impressive ceremony-the burial of
Prof. Palmer, Capt. Gill and Lieut.. Caring
ton, in the crypt of st. Paurs. Intramural
1nterment is, as a rule, highly objection
able; in this case il was not so, because
Eastern suns had done their work on the
scanty and indistinguIshabie remains, en-
closed, therefore, in one coffin, and nothing
was left to injure the living when lying
under their feet. Now, all that was here
done by accident and in manner distress
ing, to survivors, might be done orderly
and reverently by cremation; our dead
might still be inferred among Us, and
there need be no change in the burial SER
vice or In the sentiment connected with it.
l do not think any one of tho many friends
and relatives of those iamented men CON
slderd there was any want of truthfulness
IN speaking of their ''bodies," though they
were fragmentary and Incomplete. The
disintegration of the human frame in
cremation is not more thorough, though 1t
is more rapid, than IN earth burial, and
those who look for the joyful resurrection
of the martyrs, burned hard by at Smith
field are scarcely In position to say, as a
bishop once did, thai cremation hampers
with the doctrine of the resurrection. Il
is astonishing how he difficulties whch
have existed in imag instiou often dissp-
pear in practice, and IN standing by the
grave of these three men felt more than
ever that 1.-Two han us Of white dust, shut
in an urn of brass was indeed the bess
permanent material form Of the body after
death, and the best coffin. The service
might remain the same, the words, "Ashes
to ashes. dust to dus5," being yet more ap-
plicable than now; our dead might rest
among us in the churches where theis liv-
ing friends Worship without danger to the
living, or the perfunctory rates Of distant
cemetery, which IS difficult to 7isi5 and
full of vulgarizing and distressing associa-
tions.

weeks old he was taught to eat few
crushed oats from the hand, the quantity
being increased gradually until he was
four months old, when whole oats were
substituted. When six months old he was
fed four quarts of oats morning and night.
in addition to what hay he would eat, his
weight then being 615 pounds. When ten

is well muscled, but not fat, and gets from
four to five miles exercise daily.

on Seventh avenue south, with serious but
not fatal results to one of the party en-
gagged in it. A party of Scandinavians
was attacked by two fellows named Guer-

ensued, one of the Scandinavians, named
Alfred Carlson, used large pocket knife
in desperate manner, with which he in
ficted several serious wounds about the
face and neck of Guerman. One cash ex-
tends nearly the entire length of the face,
while another painful but not dangerous
