TIE horse is more dainty about his
food than any other farm animal ex-
cepting a sheep. No uneaten refuse
should be left III the feeding boxes to
Soul under the animals nose. As warm
weather comes on the danger of this is
greater, especially when meal with cut
hay is given. Some people seem TO
think that all there is in feeding a horse
is to stuff his manger full with hay all
the time and give HIM large amounts Of
grain or meal. Under this management
a horse will grow poor, IS his appetite
will fail, and with no appetite he cannot

The practice of feeding oats and 9th

weight is misleading. Some kinds OF
oats are very heavy while others are
light. Very often horses that have been
fed a certain quantity of oats by meas
ure will fall of in flesh when a change
is made to a lighter kind, and the prop
er course to pursue, therefore, is to feed
by weight.

Germans services in securing the great
national victory last fall are known to and

They recognize in him, also, an able rep

will return him to the Senate. We doubt
whether any combination can defeat him,
and we doubt if he will have any serious
opposition. 1t would be ingratitude if the
Democratic party of Maryland should turn
Senator German down after his successful
efforts last fall to rescue the government
from party that knew no constitution nor
law; that permitted fraud, bribery and cor

large sums annually the government did

crimes against the country. We are sur
prised that Mr.. German should have any

rhe New Orleans ExpositiOn.


The New Orleans exhibition is great
success, in every respect save one. 1t is
larger than that of London, Paris, or Vi
emma. 1t is even larger than the great
Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia,
which commanded the admiration of the
world. But the latter was not financial
success, though located in the very heart of
the most populous region Of the country,
Of easy access to all the great Atlantic cities
and the most populous States ofthe Union.
1t was a great novelty to our citizens, and
attended by vast throngs of people from
the old world as we'll as the new. And
vet, after all, it was closed with a heavily
accumulated debt. If the Centennial FIX
position did not pay, it is hardly to be ex-
pected that the one at New Orleans should,
situated as it is at one extreme of the Union,
in the midst of sparse population. The
State Commissioners report deficit in their
expenses of S315, 900, and have resolved to
appeal to Congress for relief. Worlds
fairs are admirable things, in many respects.
They bring distant populations together;

them pay their own expenses, has yet to
be learned.

A Ridiculous Report.


The New York Tribune started a rumor
a few days ago, that the election Of Hon.
VIM. NJ. Evarts to the United States Senate
had altered the Democratic plans in con-
structing a Cabinet, and that important
consultations would soon be held. It was
said that if Bayard and Garland were re-
moved from the Senate there would be no
one to cope with Edmunds, Sherman and
Evarts, consequently both Bayard and Gar
land could not be spared from the Senate
10 enter the Cabinet. This rumor was
extensively circulated by the press, and the
fact that Cleveland was about to come to
New York in order to be more accessible
to those with whom he desired to consult,
caused many to place confidence in the
TriJmes report. Those who have kept
pace with political affairs remember that
long before Mr.. Evarts was chosen Sena-
tor, and when it was generally believed that
Messon would succeed Lapham in the Sem
ate. Cleveland had announced his intention
to spend few days or week in New
York after the holidays for the very pur-
pose Of interviews with his political friends.
So Mr.. Cleveland's visit to New York this
week was arranged nearly two months ago,
and was not prompted by the election Ct
Mr.. Evarts to the Senate.
The idea that there would be no oEs OF
the Democratic side in the Senate to cope
with Edmunds, Sherman and Eyarts, if
Bayard and Garland were called to the
Cabinet, is simply ridiculous. There would
be Lamar, of Mississippi; Vest, of Missouri;
Voorhees,, Of Indiana; Brown and Colquit, of
Georgia; Vance, of North Carolina; Beck,
of Kentucky, and others. These are not
only men of ability, but of long Legislative
experience and are ready debaters. Cor
man, Of Maryland, and Jonas, Of Louisiana,
while not 50 brilliant, are gifted with large
amount of hard sense, and their sound
Judgment viii outweigh mere theories or
brilliant oratory.
There are Democratic Senators who have
not shown their ability, simply because all
important questions have been left to Bay
ard, Garland, Lamar, Vest and a few others,
but who may prove themselves worthy
foemen Of the best talent Of the opposition.

In our news columns to-day will be found
accounts of the attempted destruction Of a
store in New York by dynamite, of the
attempted assassination Of O'Donovan Rosa
by an English woman, and Of an attack of
Socialists on the New York police. The
first is supposed to have been the work of
former employees of the conductors of the
store, who refused to allow the employees to
conduct their business. The second was
in retaliation for the outrages of dynamiters
in London, and the third was on the line
of Socialist theories, which are against all

The death of Gen. John w. Phelps,
which occurred suddenly at Guilford, New
Hampshire, on Monday, recalls the fact
that in the second year of the late war he
issued a proclamation emancipating the
slaves, while in command at Ship Island,
in the department of the Gulf. This was
the first proclamation of the kind, for which
Gen. Phelps was reprimanded and had to
resign his commission. 1t was not the
policy of those in power in the government
then to admit that the war was prosecuted
on black basis. Three-fourths of the
soldiers of the Federal army enlisted to
preserve the Union-not TO rob one section
of property then recognized by the Consti-
tuition. Had the government sanctioned
Gen. Phelps proclamation serious trouble
might have ensued. At that time such
action on the part of the government might
have proved fatal to the preservation of the
Union.
