a professor ut Yale College maintains
that the development of the trotting
horse is "a special product Of the high
est civilization the world has vet seem"
Now. as the trotting horse is an Ameri-
can production, and is hardly known in
Great Britain, and was not at all known
to the Greeks, it would follow, accord
ing to Professor Brewers logic, that the
highest civilization has been reached in
the United States. Northumberland
according to Professor Brewer. spread
wherever the Arabian horse and his
armed rider calld tread, and no further.
The Moor wehy into Spain, but when he
was finally expelled BIZ left his barbed
horse behind, and from this sprang the
famous Spanish breed. When the
Spanish horse was at its best, then Spain
was at her height among nations; and
rs her horse declined her glory waned.
The professor points ont that though it
took from tie year 2200 b. c. to the
present century to produce three-min-
ute horse. since then the scale has been
lowered in almost n mathematical ratio.
In 1918 Boston Blue made a mile in
minutes six years later Top Gallant
reached 2:40 on the plank. The record
was lowered without q break every three
or four years until in 1885 enc famous
Flora Temple reached 2:l94, while Dex-
ter followed in 1867 with 2:l7l, Gohd-
smith Maid in 1874 with 2;14. and at last
Mud S. reached 2:10i in 1881 While
in 1856 there was but one horse in the
world that had trotted in 2:2j, we had
in 1882 some 49j with that record, an
increase Of 7G over 1881 We have 60
horses with 2:l9 record, although nine
teen years ago there was not one in the
country.
The horse is no doubt the product OF
civjization-tha is, d e running and
trottng horse Professor Marsh, OF
Yale Scientific School, will show any
one the prehistoric fossil horse with his
five toes, more or less; and the modern
horse, in many instances. still shows the
marks of rudimcutarv toes. But while
TIE hor-e has reached % high standard
OF civilization, it hardly follows that the
trotunE horse marks the highest stage OF
civl izatiou. This one fact, however, is
pretty well established. that he is maxi
iup greater speed. both as runner and
q trottcr, than. ever before. Inc new
DEVELOPMENT Of speed is contemporary
with The Introduction Of the locomotive.
When Che latter was SO perfected that
it c.u.a make forty miles an hour, then
the horse quickeued his pace until now
he makes mile i'm some cases in 2:104.
That is the mark of our civilization, ac-
cordIng go horse logic Civilization i'm

CAPITAL NOTES.

Happy New Year" is in order, and
the following poem by Madison 3
pet poetess, Ella Wheeler, will be
appreciated now, if ever:
OLD AND NEW YEAR
Toll bells for the year that has persisted,
Ring chimes for the year that IS born,
Farewell TO a day that we cherished
All hail TO a happy new morn.
Lay a cross on the grave Of lost pleasures,
Bring crown for the better ncg times
Aud sing to the saugc Of old measures
A sweet stirring song of new rhymes.
Dig graves for old folhcs and errors,
Bear thrones for TRUTHS precepJs above.
We are done with old gods and their tcrrors,
and wc worship the one God OF Love.

The cost of the state institutions
for several years past has been as

1875 ..--....- ..--..+-.-.-. 54o,5SU5i
The small expenses of 1873 is owing
to the fact that the democratic leg
islature of that year was very saving
in its efforts to establish record
for economy, and the appropriations
for state institutions were reduced to
the lowest possible amount. In 1881
the institutions were managed part
Of the time in the old system and
part of the time in the new. The
last two years show probably about
the minimum average cost Of sup
porting them.
The state Board of Charities and
reforms consists Of the following
members: Andrew e. Gilmore, II H.
Giles, John II. Vivian, w. W. Reed
and Mrs. +. b. Fairbanks. They
possess only visiting and investiga-
ton powers, receiving no salary,
but are paid for their necessary ex-
penses, which are from $4,000 to
$500 annually The members have
private business pursuits, and give
but small portion Of their time to
the duties Of the board. They visit
county jails and public and private
charitable institutions. Some of
/ its members, probably expected to
be appointed on the new board Of
| supervision when it was created,
but were mistaken in their expec-
tations. Had the two boards been
harmonized by making ;heir mem
bersh p in part the same, no rivalry
could have arisen, but the opposite
/ polio, was adopted.
This full history of the two
boards will enable the reading pub
lie t" follow inteligently the history
Of the conflict between them as il
/ progresses.

lebrar una session solicitada por

UnO y otro hecho nos parecen al
tamente ilegales, habiendo, en- GUAM
to al tlltimo, teHminante infracci6n
del art. 81 de la Ley municipal, que

que prevalezca la Ley en- todos los
casos y que Sc asegure mas Y mas
