Horses for Farm Work.

Breeding firstclAss horses for farm
work is an easy matter on farms that
have large pastures, for colts can be
raised at q small cost where the farm.
er is fortunate in possessing good
grazing fields and plenty OF grass.
But in raising colt everything de.
pends upon the purposes for which II
is intended. Some farms are so stu.
ated that tue horses used thereon
must possess strength as we'll as the
ability 70 move quickly. The size Of
our horses has been greatly increased
of late years by the crossing of our
native stock with tue Clydesdale and
Norman, bGt the object was heavy
draught rather than speed. Such
horses are not we'll adapted for car.
riage service or for the saddle. The
average farmer, on the score of ex.
pense, desires 10 keep his horses for
general work, and in order to improve
his stock be must select. for the pur.
poses Of improvement, animals that
combine as many desirable qualities
as possible.
The chief requirement at present Is

that move quickly alta walk. Such
strain has not been established, but q
foundation has been laid by selecting

Many farmers make mistake In

the ordinary stock, but trotters are

After about fourteen years hard
labor the great suspension bridge
between New York and Brooklyn
has been completed, and thus two
large cities connected in manner
which was never dreamed of in
Revolutionary times. 1t is indeed
the browning work of the century,
and can be classed among the
wonders of this country. The
suspension bridges at Niagara
Falls and over the Ohio river at
Cincinnati, are merely foot bridges
in comparison with it. Its dimen-
sions, history and cost are familiar
to all readers of the daily papers,
and do not need to be repeated
here; but we do wish to speak Of
Peruna, the greatest discovery OF
this century. 1t is a medicine
discovered by DR.. S. Hartman Of
Pittsburgh, and prescribed by him
in thousands of cases during thirty
yearsOf continuous practice. Ask
your druggist for the pamphlet
entitled the Ills of Life which
gives full and complete directions
for the preservation of the health.
Try PerRnd, the great tonic.

WITH this issue of the HERALD
we give our patrons a supplement
of ten columns containing the letter
of acceptance Of James G. Blaine
as candidate for president of the
United States. The document is
so superb, in every respect, thatwe
have thought best to put it in this
form that men might read it and
hand it to their neighbors, and it
might circulate the more generally.
This Issue Of the HERALD also
concludes the admirable chapter on
protection from the book of that
eminent man. We have endeavor-
ed to give our readers all the writ
ings of Blaine on the advance ques-
ton of the day, and have spared
neither labor nor expense to do it.
Look over the HERALD of the last
few weeks and read with it the let
ter of Blaine published in the Sup
plement of this week, and no voter
can besmiStaken about the views of
the man whom we are advocating
for president
Our object frems-fhe beginning
has been to supply information and
let every man conclude for himself.
Blaine, in our judgment, is bet
ter friend to Virginia than Cleve-
land. We are simply VirginianS,
Independent enough to say this and
act on it.
Virginia wants friends and friend
~ administration.
Let Blaines own words written by
his bold hand speak for him and
for us. We are for Blaine because
Blaine is for Virginia.

All the cities, with, perhaps, the
exception of Philadelphia, are for
free trade. The States without the
cities are protective. New York,
out side of its one city, is prOtec-
tive by from 10000 to $4,000 maj
GRITTY. Maryland is largely prOtec-
tive without Baltimore. Why is
this? Because the large importers
of foreign goods and the massed
wealth of the very rich who wear
only foreign finery want the tax
transferred from tariff to direct OF
some other system by which the
government will be supported by
the country people, as it was from
1S47 to 1861, and they may go on
in luxury, with property protected,
without paying anything into the
public Treasury. The cry of the pa
triots in politics that the tariff is
the farmers and laborer's tax is long
since played out. The people who
were once deceived by that stuff
have grown wiser than their would
be instructors.

The bourbon Legislature passed
forty.three bills for the relief of old
treasurers and collectors whom the
readiusters put out of office for de-
faults in paying in taxes which they
had collected.
They also had ample time to pass
fifty eight railroad bills of all sorts
and kinds.
They had time to enact fOrty-one
amendments to the code.
They had time to cheat four Sen
atorial districts out Of representa-
ton by trumped up contests, and
and to unseat any number Of dele
gates to give them two-thirds.
They had time to send around
smelling committees who expended
ghty.thousand dollars on pretense
of corruption among readJuster
officials and found none,
Now they want an extra session

their admission of failure to attend
to public business. Governor Cam

Blaines's Prospects in New
England.

James A. Hall, of Maine, who is at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, was asked
last evening, what he saw in the
political situation, and he replied:
up in Maine we all think Mr.. Blame
will be handsomely elected
what about Maine itself?
i think we shall carry it in
September by 10000 or 10000
majority, and by a much larger
majority in November. There are
a great many Democrats in the
State, who are going to vote for
Mr.. Blaine, who may vote the
State Democratic ticket. For this
reason it is somewhat difficult to
say what the real size of the major
ity may be. The Republicans Of the
state are thoroughly consolidated,
as they have not been for many
years. The Greenback Republi-
cans are all back in the lines, and
| could give you long list Of
names ofprominent gentlemen who
are now again with us,Of this class.
In my district, Isaac I. HobsOn,
who ran against Mr.. Dingley for
Congress, is an avOwed Blaine
man, and earnest in advocating
his election. The last Greenback
candidate for State Senator in my
country is another Blaine man
an ardent worker, and Of great
influence. SO it is all over the
State
'What doyou hear from ewing

are shaping very largely in Mr..

We are against Cleveland be-
cause he represents nothing Amer
lean. He is simply the representa-
tive of New York brokerdOm, and
if elected will use the immense
power Of a federal administration,
as Hays did, against Virginia. Vir-
ginia just now is confronted with
the very serious question whether
her debt settlement has not been

of last winter. When we find New
York brokers giving checks for
$4,000 TO carry Virginia elections
we must conclude that they mean
business. Cleveland will be their

out for ourselves and that IA mill

our state debt as fearleSsly as when

Wheat starts at the riunously
low price Of 50 cents per bushel.
But for the growth of our own
country by which we have added
twenty millions of food eaters to
our population within two decades,
our farmers would nOtrealize enough
to pay for phosphate alone. The
demand is lessened by enlarged
crops in Russia and India. SO we
see that supply and demand at last
regulate prices of what we eat.
Failure in any one country for a
single year increases prices here.
We hope to see the demand increas-
ed before this year is out.

The Virginia bourbOns are still
in much tribulatiOn. They want
an extra session of the legislature
and cannot get it unless two-thirdS
sign the call. Mr.. "Straightout"
Callahan, whom they seated without
his request or even on a contest,
refuses to sign under any circum-
stances, and Gen. Wickham will
not sign unless they will give him
a guarantee not to change the reg
istration ard election laws. They
elaine their only purpose to be to
fix up the electoral law, but they
do not want to subscribe to Gen.
Wickham's demands. Such very

ded to important business when

Cleveland resulted at Rochester in
the Labor and Trades General AS
sembly's passing resolutions on
Friday night to indorse Mr.. Blaine.
The workingmen of that section are
bitterly opposed to Cleveland for
the many official acts of his that
have shown his hostility to their
class. The Independents with us
are not making any demonstration,
and will all come into line by cleo
ton day. Some of them, like DR..
Charles s. Starr, who is with me in
New Xork, are ardent supporters
of Mr.. Blaine since he is the party
nominee.

Cleveland is being run as New
York's reform governor. Tilden
was run on the same hurrah. Then
came Robinson also a reform gov
ernor and democrat. Now it is
Cleveland. What is he reforming ?
Surely it does not require much re-
forming to reform a state that has
just had two reform governors and
has been under the same party con-
troll for SO many gubernatorial
terms This is pushing the reform
business rather strong. A change
in New York might develop some
thing to reform.

THE independent voter is the
great factorin elecK6nsnow .a-days.
Virginians should be the indepen-
dent voters first of all. AS we
have repeatedly said, Virginia in
terests cannot be conserved by
close alliance now with "solid
South any more than in 1860. Yir-
ginia can be the battlefield now as
then. She can clamor for free
trade and pay tariff on sugar, rice
and cotton, just as she sacrificed
her sons and soil products then for
an institution that was making
slaves of her white men, while her
white men engaged in the great
conflict for Southern slavery to
make sugar, grow rice and pick
cotton. 1t was Virginia's corn and
wheat that had to feed the soldier.
1t was Virginia's sons who had to
hold the last lines of Virginia de-
fences. 1t was Virginia's farms
that had to be re-fenced after the
first army of invasion under Sher-
man struck the sensitive gentry
South of her.
Virginian interests to-day are
identical with states similarly
situated. Her people ought to
understand this. They do under
stand it; and the only question is,
will they assert themselves
Two states in all the North are
claimed to be democratic in presi-
dental years. What follows ?
These two states say to each and
every democratic convention, you
must take your president from New
York and your vice-president at
our dictation. We have stood
this since 1868. The last conven-
ton said we must have the same
theory and "Solid South" Are
we slaves? Must we look forever
to New York Is this not bosSiSm
of the most humiliating kind?
Let us bear in mind that we are
citizens of our State and of our
common country, and say to New
York, we are no longer your con-
tingent. Tell brokers that they
weave not, neither do they spin,
and that we must align ourselves
with those who earn their bread by
the sweat of their faces. Tell them
how Jefferson could be a republican
and Jackson a democrat, both pro-
tectionists, but neither the serfS Of

stances.

giving also his reasons for support
ing Blaine. He claims that three
fourths of all the Irish Americans
of the country will do the same
thing. Gleason has been a life
long Democrat, and his course will
have considerable influence among
Irish voters in this vicinity. His
opinion on political matters is
credited with having some weight.
He claims to be in receipt of
voluminous correspondence from

sentiments similar to his OWL
