goods for all wool, as only too commonly
practiced by manufacturers. If wool
growers can succeed in regulating these
things brighter days will dawn for their
industry. That they can do this there is
no doubt, if they will only exert them
selves according to their numbers and
strength, and send to Congress men from
their own ranks, and who are interested
in growing wool.

French origin. That this is a product of
Mr.. Spencer's Imagination is evident
from the fact that four months ago he
did not know there was such a man as
Noble Hill. Spencer says, in his 2:2O
Black Hawk eff'usion, that a brother of
David Hill bought the horse out of a
woodward in Lowell. Mr.. Noble Hill
was not Il, man who would admit that
Black Hawk was of French origin when
he knew positively, as he did, that Sher-
man Morgan was his sire.
Mr.. Spencer intmates that in 1917 Da-
vid Hill offered to sell Black Hawk for
5000, and to give color to his statement,
mentions the name of the party to whom
the horse was rendered. This is in per-
feet harmony with his entire production,
and is probably as near the truth as any
of his statements concerning Black
Hawk. 1t is a matter of history, howev-
er, that early in the season of 1917, Mr..
Solomon .Iewett, then "a prominent Yer
mont breeder, who is still living, ar
ranged with the propretors of Black
Hawk to challenge the United States aud
Canada to match any entire horse i'll
America against him for $500, under the
following conditions: 'First, perfect
ness of symmetry: second, ease and ele-
gance of action: third. best and most per-
fectly broken to harness fourth, the fast
est trotting to single harness-the contest
to take place during the New York State
fair the following autumn. The challenge
was not accepted, but led to a match be-
tween Black Hawk and MOrse's Gray.
which was easily won by the former.
During the summer of 1871 Black Hawk
covered 1S6 mares at $40 the season,
earning his owners the handsome sum of
81 40 in stud fees alone: yet in the face
of these facts your Vermont correspond
ent asks intelligent readers to believe
that David Hill was then anxious to dis
pose of Black Hawk for 5000. | am pre-
pared to prove every statement made
above by living witnesses-men of intel
ligence and of the highest standing in
the communities where they reside.

There never was such a display of en-
ergy in gold mining as there is now. Oh
course there is great activity in silver, but
there Is no encouragement for silver
miners, and their industry must have slow
progress. We call them tenderfeet. In
addition TO the declining market, and the
perpetual war made on their pro iuct, they
always have more or less trouble in treat
ing their ores, and in getting the value
out Of them With gold it is different. Il
IS more easily mined, and of all the metals
is the easiest treated, the best understood
and the machinery the simplest. In Cali
fOrnia all of the old and abandoned mines
are being purchased and put in operation
again. Some of them have paid fabulous
fortunes, worked by crude machinery, and
the ore found is now very low in grade,
but, with the improved machinery now in
use, il has been demonstrated that they
can be made to pay.-Old Californ ian in

THE PROBLEM STATED.

II one Union general was killed and two
were wounded during continuous battle
in Virginia which lasted from May 81 to
Oct. p (lj0 days.. and in which the Union
losses were officially stated at 1899 en-
listed men and officers, how many Con-
federate generals should have been killed
and wounded in a fight lasting six hours,
and in which their losses Of enlisted men
and regimental officers were 5000, lgnor-
ing the factor represented by the duration
of the fight and the problem can be stated
clearly:
As ~, ,9SS are to s. SO will 6.OOO be to the
answer.
The answer is not to be found by arith-
metical rules. which in this case would
have TO be cased on the alleged yalOrOus
conduct Of Union generals belonging TO
the Army of the Potomac. These six
hours of sighting in Tennessee, six hours
Of assaulting Union earthworks, cost the
COnfederates four generals killed and six
so severely wounded that they left the
front. In truth, every general in the
Confederate army which fought at Frank
lin, except Gen. Hood. was either killed
or wounded So fought the Confederate
leaders in the field. So southern vOlun-
teer generals, men bred TO agriculture and
living on their plantations, led their sol
diers to death and shared it with them
New. did our generals q write as pri-
vateJ shirk their duty' Or did they rush
into the battle gayly, and stanchly aid
their subordinate commanders, and es-
cape death by rare good luck,
The soldiers Il write of the volunteers)
looked upon the army as q body of men
who had taken service together to sup
press a great political rebellion against
their republican government. Some of
these men were Of necessity generals
more were regimental officers, the most
of them were prvates. Before the war
there was but little difference between the
men socially. The enlisted men then
thought. and | still think, that the gener-
ais having been selected as leaders, pre-
sumably because of their superior mill
tary skill and perfect courage, should
have fought side by side with their SOL
diers, that the rs should have been the
dangerous work of inspecting the confed-
crate lines O nights 10 discover their weak
points. and that to high rank and large
pay belonged deeds Of perilous valor.
These generals skirked. The enlisted men
were eNasperated by their cowardice, and
they in turn skirked. can count on my
fingers the generals have seen under
battle fire Frank Wilkesoo in Chicago
Times.
