ACCORDING to Mr.. Clarkson, who con-
trolls the agency of the associated prens
at Des Moines, the Interstate commerce
committee was greatly pleased at the In
formation and advice given at Des
Moines In regard to the regulation of
railroad traffic. Mr.. Clsrkson takes
pains to inform the country through the
associated press that nearly all the Wit
nesses before the committee seemed to
favor federal control of railroads by q
commission, rather than by statute regu-
lation. 1t Ia this feature, we take It,,
that plesses the committee as well as Mr..
Clarkson. The railroads under the con-
troll of commission, and the commission
under the control of the railroads, would
be satisfactory both to the railroads and
the commissioners. The people would
continue to be feeced as they now are,
and Wall Street would continue Its lamb
shearing with It's customary neatness and
dispatch.

HIGH LICENSE, which originated in Ne
brsska and proves to be more practical
than prohibition, is still gaining ground.
The liquor license law of Missouri, which
takes effect tomorrow, has some import
ant features. The selling or giving away
of liquors to minors is punishable with
severe penalties. The wine and beer
house licenses are repealed, and hereafter
all saloons will be required to secure
dram-shop license, the minimum license
being $3.50 and the maximum $1,000 q
year. The reason for this change, as
given In the st. Louis Republican, is
that saloon keepers In some parts Of the
state were In the habit of taking out
cheap wine and beer license aud then sell
ing all kinds of liquor, to the injury of
honest licensees who faithfully observed
the law. All the amendments are In the
direction of the new high. license law of
two years ago, and are intended to sub
jeot the retailing of liquors to rigorous
restrictions, partly In the interest of tenn
perance and public order, and partly to
secure from the business liberal reve-
nue.. The Downing law of two years ago
accomplished much In this direction, as
the manifest decrease of intemperance
throughout the state and the increased
county revenues attest-and 1t Is believed
that the amendments will make the sys.
tenn still more efficient.

LONGEVITY IN HORSES.

How Severe Training Prolongs the Life OF
the Thoroughbred.
While the aptitude for living to a
great age is undoubtedly inherited, still
this tendency to long living many times
shows up in the character of squirt, as
a single son or daughter from given
pair may attain to a great age, all other
scions from the same stock being only
moderate long liyers. AS to longevity,
as we ordinarily meet with it, there are
physical signs that, fully inspected and
estimated at their worth, will always be
found to tally with the results. The
thoroughbred has firm structure
throughout, clearly the result of trans
mission through an agency rendered
firm of tissue BY continuous and some-
what severe training, ignoring accumu-
lation of fat. The latter substance in
excess, or even approaching this, places
the horse, or the person with this pecu-
liarity, as though with sword sus-
pended over him by q very weak thread.
Life is prolonged by such repeated eff
forts as give vigor, short Of sapping the
vitality, and one of the agencies
through which this is done is curtail-
ment Of tendency to fairness. We have
in trees corroborative evidence that firm
texture tends to long life. The hard
wood trees are considered by naturalists
to be long-lived in proportion as they
GROW thick and stout rather than tall.
Slim plants are, as rule, delicate and
short-liyed. We can safely apply this
similitude to the horse, and calculate
that the spindling, leggy horse will not
prove hardy or 1ong-lfyed. The firm
texture of the flesh and bones of the
mule may be taken as evidence that
this concentration Of structure may be
considered to be associated, as a rule,
with. tendency to long life, and it is
worth considering how far we can safely
depart from the popularity referred to.
