Commissioners of Election.

A bill, which has many friends. is pend
Ing before House committee proposing
to elect commissioner of election for each
county and city in the state. 1t means to
yacate all these offices, many OF which are
now filled by very incompetent men, and
to have the commissioner make new ap-

The idea is that the Senate or the Gene

THE Public schools of Richmond.

When the Coalition City School Board
was placed in charge OF the public schools
much apprehension was felt about their fU-
ture. Many thought as the attempt had
been made to make the system dependent
on politics, that. with Democratic Coun-
ell holding the purse-Strings and a
Rcadjuster Board with very extreme
politicians as members, the public
schools would be closed or their
usefulness very much impaired by
lack OF harmony between the Council
and Board. But the Council virtually put
the management OF the schools in charge Of
one OF their committees by putting the
money TO be used for the schools to tine
credit OF a special contingent fund.-" and
deciding to pay from this fund only such
claims for the support OF public schools as
were ordered by the committee. The wis
dom OF this action OF the Council has been
fully demonstrated blythe condition Of the
public schools OF Richmond to-day. The
committee has been conservative, careful,
pains-taking, and economical in their
administration. and have never had
q single recommendation that they have
made to the Council rejected. In con-
cluding this months report to the City
COUNCIL tllt ~ ehVi 10
your committee much pleasure to state
that we close our fiscal year with our pub
lie schools in a fourishing condition, all
claims against the department will have
been paid of when the above resolution is
adopted (resolutiOn for the payment OF the
monthly claims), and we will have an I'M
expended balance Of several thousand dol
lars. With sincere appreciation OF the
hearty support rendered us by the Coun-
Gil In the discharge Of the responsible duty
assigned us, we remain, with the greatest
respect, yours truly,

Character of the Horse.

In tine selection of horse, strength,
soundness. size, form, health, age, ped
ieree, color, ETC., are all taken into con-
s;deration, but the good or bad quail
ties the character, receive little atten-
ton. Still nothing adds to or detracts
moe from the animals real value. /
think this indifference arises from q
common notion that the character can
not be determined beforehand. But it is
revealed as plainly as are soundness,
age and strength. Ihe plan to be
adopted is this: Select two horses whose
disposition you are familiar with - one
gentle, one vicious. The points to be
observed are all ahoutthe head. Study
the head well. Look first at the eyes,
then the nasal contour, then the ears.
and afterward all the other points
about the head. When you have done
this select other horses whose character
you know. In surprisingly short
time you will have learned wherein
the eye. nose, ears, ETC., of vicious
horse diller from these organs of gem
tie horse. Then select two horses
again-one intelligent and one dumb.
Study the same points, most particular
ly the eyes, however. and you will soon
be able to distinguish an intelligent
from a dumb horse.
In this way person of ordinary abif-
ity can learn to distinguish the charac-
ter of a horse in ~ few months of study.
The information thus gained may save
him a runaway, perhaps a limb or life,
and it is especially valuable to one who
has young horses to train. 1t is APP
parent that a nervous, excitable horse
should not receive the same treatment
accorded heavy, sluggish animal. 1t
may be necessarytto use the whip On
the latter when to apply it on the
former would be the>worst policy ism
aginable. So a horse that is very sensi-
tive, thin-skinneh and hot-blooded. or
one vicious and treacherous, should be
trea ed entirely different in training
from the kind, dOcile, family horse =
Ignorance of these facts very often in
crease. instead of ID minish, the faults
,of the horse. Accorded right treatment
1.-THE high-strung colt might be reduced
to submissiveness; but wrongly treated
The is rendered vicious. And 1 have
found that wrong treatment of colts in
|,training proceeded far more often from
failure to critically distinguish traits of
character than from:any other fault
