Is it not a little remarkable that
handsome women and handsome horses
SO generally SO together But it is
fact. Take the blae-grass region of
Kentucky, for instance. There you
will find The women remarkable for
their beauty and fine physical points.
The same is the case with their horses,
which are widely celebrated. Take,
also, Baltimore. That city is said to
be one of the most remarkable in the
world for the beauty Of its women. 1t
is equally noticeable for its splendid
horses. Take also, Arabia. The Arab
man is not "bcauty spot" but many
of the women are of such wondrous
beauty that they are called "houris," +"
that is to say, angels that live on earth.
The Arab horse is as distinguished for
beauty and fine points as the Arab wo-
man. And SO you can 90 on indefinite
ly, finding beautiful women the rule
wherever you find fine horses the rule.
The only exception probably is the is.
land Of Jersey. which is somewhat re.
markable for the beauty Of its women,
while its horses are not remarkable for
any fine donts. Its cows, though, are
thought to top the world for mixers
and also for a certain exquisite sort Of
beauty in the eyes of COW fanciers. Its
ladies, therefore, seem to run more after
the COW than the horse. 1t seems to be
well established then that if a commu
nifty would improve the beauty of its
women it must begin the good work
with its horses, and in some localities
with its cows. 1t would be easy to ex.
plain this, but l am only calling atten.
tion TO facts, and not explaining any
thing.-7txaS Paper.

Try the Calculation.

The following will prove very inter-
esting combination of figures: Put down
the day OF the month on which you were
born; double it; add seven; multiply by
so; add your age; subtract 36S; multiply
by 100; add the number OF the month in
which you were born, calling January
one, February two, March three, and so
on), add 1900. The first two figures of
the result will give you the day Of the
month Of your birth, the next two your
age, and the last two the number Of the
month in which you were born.

IT develops that wholesale fraud was per-
petrated in the late election in Chicago and
that certain measure that was really de-
feated was reported as adopted through the
corrupt connivance of the judges of the vari-
GUS precincts. 1t is said that over four hun
dred judges will be indicted and it is expected
that they will be fined from $40 to $50 each

BOARD GOVERNMENT.

Speaking of the metropolitan police sys-
tenn, the Sentinel says:
''The aim of the Republican press is well
understood. It is to break down the present
system. and substitute therefor the old, cor
rupt Republican rule, under which they car
ried the city by majorities ranging from 200
to 1000, by pandering to the very worst ele-
ments"
If by this the Democratic organ means that
the Republican press favors the restoration of
the city Board of Police, it is misrepreserta-
ton so Far as the Journal is concerned, and
a Misrepresentation that must have been will
full on the part of the Sentinel. The board
system of government has never received any
favor at the hands of the journal, whether
it be by State boards or city boards.
We have always and consistently advo-
Gated a concentrated executive authority and
responsibility, and in doing so we did not hes
itate to criticise the city police board at the
time of it's existence. Our record on that
matter is perfectly clear. It was the inef-
ficiency Of the city police board administra-
ton that alone made the metropolitan system
possible, as was we'll stated In the Senate, two
years ago, by Mr.. Van Vorhis, when the bill
was passed creating the State board. The In

ruptions of the board system of government
have been shown by both the city and the
State boards. The Journal would not
favor, and does not want, return to the
old city board system. For the outrageous
maladministration and non-enforcement of
law We greatly prefer the Stateand the Demo
cratic party to assume all responsibility. 1t is
absolutely certain that matters will 90 on from
bad to worse-with possible occasional tempo
rary betterments in the condition of things
until the citizens and taxpayers rise in
their might, and hurl party from power that,

their fundamental rights of self government.

The national House of Representatives
should not be niggardly in making provision
for the necessary means to be taken to prevent
the introduction of cholera to the United
States, and for its restriction if it should gain
foothold. The sum of $50 900, to be used at
the discretion of the President to prevent the
spread of cholera is a very small sum. It
would be cheap if it could be kept out by the
expenditure of a million. A visitation of
cholera means not only death to thousands,
but hard times to all.

MINIMUM VERSUS MAXIMUM.


The regulation of interstate commerce, and
especially railway transportation, is the most
important question now before the American
people. The numerous bills and propositions
offered in Congress and the State Legislatures
indicate the widespread interest in the subject
and the necessity for earnest and effective
legislation,
The remedies for unjust Determinations
and excessive charges thus far proposed are
repressive in their character and refer only to
maximum rates. Without undertaking any Of
these propositions, we wish to suggest addi
tional remedies by regulating minimum rates.
The general business of the country requires
fair compensation for all kinds of work per-
formed, determined by fair competition. I'm
fortunately, perhaps, we live in the age Of
'pools," percentages, combinations and strikes,
which interfere with the regular laws Of
trade and disturb the equitable relations Of
altogether the outgrowth of greed but the
necessary inventions to prevent destruction.
On the special subject before U.s. pools and
percentages are wrong, so far as they affect
reasonable competition between rival lines,
but in many cases they have become actual
necessities to preserve from total loss the CAPT
tai employed in the business of transportation.
In the sharp rivalry between different RAILWAYS
competing for business, possibly in territory
which cannot supply enough for both, rates
are often made ruinously low. Then the
reaction comes through combination and the
losses are retrieved by overchanges.
Cut rates to-day mean extortion tomorrow
the minimum necessitates the maximum. It
is entirely proper to apply the remedy for the
disease, but it is equally proper to remove the
cause. A suitable adjustment Of both maxi
mum and minimum rates-lf such adjustment
is to be undertaken by legislation-will give
sufficient room for the fluctuations Of trade
without any violent or unusual effects, and will
tend to the development of that stability
which encourages capital and rewards labor.
| And if Congress or Legislature does not un-
dom and experience of men having railway
property in their control should be directed
the maximum rates of transportation.

ON THE NILE.

Once more the superiority of the Anglo
Saxon to the Oriental has been proved in the
'tnever-ending still beginning wars that have
been maintained between Japhet and Shem
since the siege of Troy, and seem likely to
continue while time lasts. General Stewards
advance force of Lord Wolseley's ''army of re-
lief on Saturday soundly beat an Arab force
of five times its strength, in hard, bat never
for a moment doubtful fight, inficting a loss
in killed and wounded of nearly one-third of
the whole number engaged. The amount of
ards. Fighting, as they did, with an obvious
inferiority of weapons, skill and discipline,
their superiority of numbers could hard
ly have been a serious encouragement
to hope for victory, yet they fought
with the tenacity of veterans, and were beaten
with the almost unfailing certainty that has
marked every fight between the races since
war invaded the earth The exceptions have
only been sufficient to prove the rule, and to

Khartoum will be reached; Gordon rescued, if
he hasn't come out master first; the Prophets
power on the Upper Nile annihilated, and
English supremacy established from the delta
to . the great head lakes at the equator.
That is, if the jealousy or fears Of
the continental powers does not come
in to change the probable course Of
things. And against this chance England is
guarding by an Italian alliance that promises
to give very material help in disposing of the
plumber that may be the fruit of the war; One
effect of Stewards victory, it seems over on
this side of the ocean, will be strengthening
of the Gladstone government and an allevia-
ton of the unsparing attacks to which it has
been subjected for the past few months. A
victorious party is always strong, at least
among mundane powers and conditions; and
with Wolseleys successful advance on Khar-
toum and the rapidly improving condition OF.

well armed for ''ield day" as any ministry

The first thing the Indiana Legislature
should do is to provide for the payment of the
honest debts Of the State incurred because of
the revolutionary proceedings in the last Gen.
eral Assembly, whereby the general and
special appropriation bills were defeated. One
Of the bills demanding immediate payment
is that of the State Printer who,
had he declined to do the necessary
printing, could have put the State
to very much trouble, and rendered null and
void vast deal of the work of the Legisla-
ture of 1888. It is not just thing for the
State to ask private individual to carry this
debt any longer. 1t should be paid promptly.
The Governor in his message recommended
the payment of the debt at once, and if the
majority can get away from the consideration
of partisan questions, it should attend to this
and other matters Of business without delay.

ST. JoHNs theatrical denunciation Of the
charges made against him does not carry
sober-minded people off their feet. The New
York Post Republican, has already pro-
nounced the charges of Mr.. Clarkson con
clusive' proven, and now the Philadelphia
Record, an independent Democrats paper,
says:
We have no particular admiration for Mr..
Clarkson, of Iowa, the member of the Repub-
lican national committee who is most severe
in his attacks on Mr.. st. John, but it must
be admitted that he voices tie opinion of a
very large portion Of the community when he
suggests that it would be better to seek the
judgment of an earthly tribunal upon the
merits of the controversy than to wait until
the day of judgment. The whole matter can
very readily be settled by libel suit, as Mr..
Clarkson proposes. We suppose that he
would not interpose any technicalities OF

A VERY interesting discussion was had in
the Senate, yesterday, upon the bill to call a
constitutional convention, and Senator Foulke
made an able and trenchant argument in its
favor. Of course, it may be of value to take
vote on the proposition, merely to make a
record for the two parties, but as a matter of
practical value the debate can amount to
nothing. The whole question was referred to
the people in the last canvass, and they de-
cided against the proposition. That is the
end of it. The Legislature is largely-almost
by two-thirds- to new constitutional
convention

TIE New York Tribune saws:

''The present law permits all weekly pub
locations to go postage free in the county
where they are published. This is an unfair
discrimination against those newspapers which
are taxed 81, 500, 900 year. There is no re-
quest on the part of the minority who are pay
ing this tax to add to the burdens CT publica-
tons that are now free. But it is only fair
to refer to this discrimination as another argu-
ment for reducing the present rates. The in
equalities and injustice of the law are plain.
There should be a prompt readjustment OF
the rates on the basis proposed by the West
