entirely at the discretion of the county com

Under the authority conferred BY this stat
ute workshops have been provided in a
number OF the county jails, In dollars
and cents they have not paid, but
they have served coed purpose in
keeping prisoners out of idleness. At
the convention of the county commits
sioners in Augusta it was decided by large
majority to abolish them. The discussion
on the matter is not published, so that we
have no means of knowing positively the
reasons which led to this action. Probably.
however, the question of expense was the

A convention of Nova Scotia fishermen
has adopted resolutions in favor of a reei-
procity treaty between Canada and the
United States which shall be mutually ad-
vantageops." Probably American fisher
men would make no objection to a treaty of
that kind provided the advantages were
equal. But treaty to meet their approval
must be very different from the Treaty of
Washington. That is altogether too one
sided. The advantage of inside fishing
which we get nnder it is trivial compared
with the advantage of being admitted to
American markets on the same terms as
Americans which the Canadians receive. If

His face was lit up with divine look as
he uttered these words Though not a

yet in his enthusiasm he seemed The persona

The Value of the Percheron Stud
Book of France.

1t contains the pedigrees and brief
descriptions of about five thousand of
the best bred Percherons, and none
but the produce of recorded sire and
dam are now eligible to entry. Every
one is familiar with the old breeding
axiom, Like begets like or the likeness
of some of its ancestors" From this
alone the most obtuse mind will readily
perceive that knowledge of those
ancestors is as necessary to the sue
cessful breeder as the perfection of the
animal himself. Stud books are histo-
ries of the individuals of breed, and
are, therefore, the only means by which
the value of any animal for breeding
purposes can be measured; while the
worth of animals of unknown ancestry,
however fine they may be, individually,
can only be ascertained by experiment.
This is the reason why animals OF es-
tablished pedigrees, tracing through a
line of excellent ancestry, always COM
mand higher prices. In this advanced
age of scientific breeding any person
attempting to disparage the value of
pedigrees, or opposing Improvement
through the means of stud books, must
be actuated by selfish motives and
should be regarded with suspicion.
There are many horses being imported
from France, of whose origin nothing
is known.

ALL HARMONIOUS.

Futile Attempts of the Republicans to Stir
Up Discord in the Democratic Party by
"Manufacturing" Trouble.
Whenever the Republican press is at
loss for something to say against the
Administration it falls back on the
stale and improbable yarn of dissatis-
faction between the President and his
Cabinet. 1t seems useless to endeavor
to convince those crazy-quilt sheets of
the utterly ridiculous nature of such
an assertion. They hug the delusion
all the closer, as they do the myths of
John Roach's ruin, the bloody shirt
and the steamship subsidy. Never was
Cabinet more harmonious and zeal
Gus in carrying out the policy of the
President than that which surrounds
Mr.. Cleveland. Every member is
thoroughly imbued with the spirit
of reform and the necessity of faith
fully fulfilling the highest expectations
formed of the Administration. Only
earnest and united efforts could have
accomplished the vast amount of valu-
able work done during the past eight
months. The radical changes intro
duced iGto each department, facilitat-
ING its operations and attaining results
which 4 year ago would have been
deemed impossible, the sensible i'm
provement of the public service, eff
cheney, integrity and dispatch taking
the place of incompetency, corruption
and red tape, the abolition of gross
abuses, the impartial dispensation of
justice and the infusion Of new life,
energy and practicability in every
branch of the Government, all testify
TO the harmonious working of the
President and his Cabinet Those facts
constitute r sufficient answer to the idle
rumOrS Of the Republican press and are
further corroborated by the testimony
of a high official, who is well informed
On the subject. He says:
Nearly every member of his official house
hold has had disagreement with Mr.. Clevc
land, If newspaper reports are to be credited.
Messrs. Bayard, Garland and Villas have been
particularly mentioned as coming under the
ban of the President dspieasure. And now,
il is again reported that he is dissatisfied with
the Secretary Of State ! happen 10 know that
these rumOrS are wholly groundleSs. do not
believe a President ever got along with his
Cabinet more tremendously than Mr.. Cleve-
land, and he has not, nor ever has hid, any
one of the departments. The relations be
tween the President and his advisers are of
the most cordial character. aud nothing that
can see is likely to disturb them.
The party organs can not under
stand this harmony, or how such a
body of public officials should be in
spired solely with the idea of doing
their duty honestly and fearlessly
They bear in mind only the intrigues
and receptions of other Cabinets. and
conclude that the present Administra-
ton must follow the example of its Re-
publican predecessors. 1t is hard for
them to acknowledge the superior
working of a Democratic Government,
but they will have to do so, sooner or
later. Meanwhile. to spare themselves
further ridicule, they should give up
the foolish work of manufacturing
trouble in the Cabinet. Their efforts
only excite dcrision.-Albany argus.
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1885-12-17

that sectional hate is not so popular as
he thought Carr, who was conjuring
up fancies regarding the Vice-Presi-
sdency, tried the same fatal garment,
and his incipient boom vanished. One
of the saddest wrecks is John S. Wise,
who was persuaded by little Malone
that his victory in Virginia would en-
title him to honorable mention, at
least, in the next National Convention
His was a very tiny, unpretending
boom, but he Rugged it all the closer
He foreswore his Democracy, and his
former assertions of loyalty to his train
ing and education, and joined hands
with the enemies and slanderers of his
native State. He now lies with his lit
tie boom and Malone in a political
ton.
Sherman and Logan may endeavor
to construct new booms by endeavor-
ing to propagate the gospel of hate in
the Senate, for it would be idle to ex-
pect that even the severe lessons they
have received can shake their affection
for their bloody shirt. But such booms
are bound to go the way of their pred
ecessors at the polls. Blaine has dis
appeared as prominent factor in the
Presidential line, and Evarts, who was
looking forward to 1892 as a candidate
on the Columbus or discovery plat
form, will have to content himself with
his Senatorial term. The popular vote
deals in the most incorporating
manner with booms, which are wrapped
up in the Nessus garment of sectional
hate-AIjdnV ArGuS
