TuE Omaha Bee OF last Friday says:

Mrs. James Is on her way TO Denver,

She has but recently returned from q

Woods identified her as the "only Mrs.
Jesse James," but the famous lady failed
to produce the profound attention from
the railroad magnates which her reputa-
ton entitled her to, and she was obliged
to buy her ticket to Denver, paying full
fare. AS her husband was the great
friend OF railroads, it would seem that
his widow should be entitled to more
consideration from those corporations
than she received In Omaha. The

manner, where lot Of men walked ont
to let another lot take their places on
railroad and elsewhere. The plan of
capturing and paralyzing locomotive en-
gines is much more direct and safe, and
has more prompt effect than any other
manner, and in consequence the railroad
companies are placed.on nearer level.to
their employees. The loss Of revenues
has about as much effect upon one as the
other, and in consequence arbitration
occupies It's proper place in the settle

JUDGE FIELD ON THE CHINESE.

In a recent interview in San Francisco
upon the Chinese question, Judge Field, of
the United States Supreme Court, said:
The intercourse Of this country with China,
and the privileges given here to Chinese,
will ultimately reach the basis of a precise
reciprocity. Citizens OF this country are
permitted to reside there only as merchants
in a few ports, and engage in foreign trade
solely. They are barred out Of the local
and domestic trade OF China. Residence in
the interior, the prosecution OF manufac-
tlres, the building of roads and railways
are all denied to our people. So, a settle
ment on a basis OF d precise reciprocity will
not only exclude the Chinese coolie, who de-
grades our labor by Il competition which
offers q hopeless problem, but it will rescue
from like rivalry our manufactures, domes-
tic merchants. bankers and insurance cor
porations. Let Chinese merchants do bus
mess in our ports in foreign trade. Let
that people travel through our country
and attend our institutions of learning, for
Cheir ln1orInatiou ona benefits, and there
stop. The Chinese are by their civilization
and genius incapable Of assimilation with
our race, and hence their contact with us
in all our activity and r~ivalries OF life can
cause only an attticting friction, which it is
the part OF wise craftsmanship to prevent.
These nave always been my views. I have
heretofore expressed them in my opinions,
and l believe that the issue is finally to rest
in such a settlement, and in complete exclu-
sion within the limitations Indicated"
There is much in Mr.. Fields views that will
commend itself to the serious consideration
OF the people of the Pacific coast. We
would also suggest that the Eastern papers
give Judge Fields interview a careful read

For years the entire country has been
taxed to build up a great monopoly in
Pennsylvania and to enrich her iron and
coal kings. The country has willingly
borne this tax to make a great common
wealth prosperous. Rich o~' r.~sperous
.1.,, uugrateful State now turns it's heel
upon the States and Territories OF the
West. The evils flowing from the Bland
coinage bill are purely f%anciful; entirely
imaginary. The coinage OF silver is a
benefit to the working masses OF Pennsyl-
vania, but it's suspension would be a great
gain to her capitalists and bankers, since
it would be certain to advance the prices OF
all securities. If Pennsylvania persists in
throwing her influence against the West, let
the West join the anti-tariff forces and
retaliate. Upon every engine, upon every
hosting works, upon every wh%eel-barrow,
pick, spade, dump-car, smokestack, railroad
iron, indeed, upon every piece OF iron used
in and about our mines, mills and
smelters, the West pays a tribute
to Pennsylvania, in the way Of
tax, which, on the same course
of reasoning employed by the anti-silver ia
natics, is most unjust and burdensome to
the balance Of the country. Strike Penn

tack her tariff.

THE Rocky Mountain H1sbandn,an
especial. attention to the production OF
saddle-horses. 1t says that there are IN
reality very few good saddle horses, and
continues: 1.-THE gait OF most OF the ami
mails used under the saddle is both killing
to the horse and rider. What is wanted is
a class of horses-nice, smooth and trim
built-weighing from 1000 to 1850 each
and capable Of skipping along nimbly, with
ease to themselves and rider. A good sad
die horse will travel for miles II change
gaits at the signal Of the rider without
even shaking him in his seat. He can walk,
trot, run, gallop, pace, rack, go the run
ming walk, and, in fact, do all the gaits
without an apparent effort, moving so
easily all the while that a tumbler OF
water placed upon his back would scarcely
spill. This is the kind OF a horse
that a man who makes his living in the
saddle needs, and if such were produced
would be in demand-not for shipment to
Chicago or elsewhere, out at home. And
the prices would be better than is realized
for the miserable apologies Of horses now
used on range and ranch for saddle pur-
poses. There will be sale for saddle horses
for years to come, and the enterprising
horse grower who will supply the market
with a frst-class article annot fail to reap
a rich reward" There is no doubt that
the Husbandman is right, for such animals
would sell, at high figures, anywhere.
