terribly excited by the shooting, on Friday
last in the streets of New York. of Jerry
O'Donovan- Rosa, who is afflicted with
English-phobia. by Mrs. Dudley, an Eng

phobia. The wound is slight, and Jerry
is walking about proclaiming that the
English government has tried to murder
him. His assailant, who has been in Eng
lish insane asylums twice, and who once
attempted suicide on a railroad train, is
talking about removing much after
the Guiteau style.

A. We have to draw line between legiti.
! mate competition, that is the life of trade,
and competition that results simply in the
| ruin of the parties that engaged in the
competition. The object of these associations,
besides that of giving uniform tariffs, and ar
ranging through tariffs for the whole country,
is to prevent ruinous competition. I think
the competition between railroads is some
what different from the competition in other
business Competition between private par
ties soon comes to al ED when prices get SO
low that they can not carry on any business.
A railroad company, however. can carry OIL
competitive business for long time at non
| paying rates, and either not find it out, or
| else make the traffic for which there is no
| competition pay for the losses incurred in the
| competitive business.
@. I suppose an instance of that is where
| they make up on local charges what they lose
on the through charges?
A. Yes
We in StauntOn who have watched our
railroad history before and since we had
Two Ou5tot5 W Ill HA515 IuStbdl vi Oue,
know pretty we'll why it is that we can
get freight to market even at the present
rates. But We are not berating the G. Il
o. alone, it is no worse than the rest; if
anything it is in some respects little
better-but they all do it, and that is
something that the people through the
House of Representative have made an
effort to sop. 1t is true Staunton is but
az 1000 town, but it is the cries that 60
| up from the farmers and their close
| neighbois the small towns that make up
the huge chorus which after awhile even
| the Senate will have to hear. To the ex-
tent of her capacity Staunton suffers as
much as New York or Richmond can, apd
! nobody makes more noise than Richmond
when railroad combination affecting its
trade is threatened. The Dispatch not
only points out q practical way of defeat
ing it, but it enforces it by such argument
| on the legislators and hard knocks on the
lobbyists, that the scheme is dissipated
| in thin air. If the VINDICAIOR can ever
earn the same title to the gratitude of
| Staunton for guarding its interest that
| the Dispatch so we'll merits from the people
of Richmond it will be well content with
its success as public journal.

In your last issue you gave the peds
igree of the Morgan horse. You
say his sire was thoroughbred
horse, his dam Wild Air." Now
the dispute was whether Morgan was
full blood OF a half blood. The
pedigree you give him makes him
just what l said he was, a shalt
blood History don't, and cannot.
say his sire was a thoroughbred. If
1t is a fact that this horse was stolen
from British officer, how did they
get his pedigrees l think they stole
it. If man will steal a horse, he is
none too good to steal his pedigree.
Now his dam, you say, was a Wild
Air mare. find that history don't
know anything Of such a breed, there
fore you settle the question that he
was half blood, without a doubt.
Although you don't give your author.
ity for this pedigree, allow me to
state that the meaning Of full blood
is, ''purity of blood" Blood is syn.
onymous with breed, and by purity
of blood is meant purity in the breed
, ing of the individual animal under
consideration, that is to say, that the
horse which is entirely bred from
! one source is pure from anv mixture
with amy other. and may be pure
Clydesdale or Cleveland Bay, or Il
pure thoroughbred horse. Hence it
is established fact that q horse to be
a full blood or pure bred, must be
descended from sire and dam whose
names are aet with in the Stud Book.
l will give you the story of Morgan
next week as given by Walsh, Harvey
Flemings and Stonehenge.

DR.. Vaughan in this issue tells us
something about the Morgan horse,
and we agree with him that the ques-
zion OF MS pedigree is not properly
authenticated. J Russell Manning
in his Live Stock Encyclopedia gives
the dam of this horse, a Wild Air
mare. and he is our authority for the
statement. AS to the fact that '.The
