WORDS OF WARNING. The CAPT.
TAI is not partizan journal. It is
simply local newspaper devoted to
the interests of the people whom it
essays to serve. These interests are,
to certain extent, closely allied with
politics. and as the politics Of the
country are now dominated by the
democratic party, it is to that party
we must look for relief from the pres
emit stagnation 10 every branch of
industry. The people feel and know
that something il wrong, and il those
who control the party 10 power cam
not suggest 9 remedy, they will be
sure to End one for themselves.
One of the ablest democratic journals
10 the southwest, finds it necessary
to rebuke his party for their short
comings, which it would be will for
''those in interest" to take heed
1.-TWO years ago." says our contem-
porary. ''the Democratic party was
given power by the people under
pledges Of thorough reform. It was
to step the wasteful expenditure Of
public funds. It was to introduce

eminent It was to return to the
old limits of strict construction of
the Constitution. Il was to do away
with the abuses in custom.houses; it
was to reform the internal revenue
IS stem, and 1t was to reduce taxa
tion.D
Il then arraiDgs The party for its
abuse Of the power the people have
given it that It may reform the abuses
Of government; that il may set limit

may c0rtail extravagance and tighten

travagance. il argues. breeds corrup-

HORSES.
Wonderful Speed and Endurance or
Very Short Measurements.

Mr.. Wolf Won Schierbrand, whose
bubble pricking letters from Persia were
not relished by the subjects of the Shah,
is back again in the United States, and
one of his early calls after his arrival in
New York was at the office
where he got his first lessons
in incisive journalism. The Persia of
reality is far different from the Persia of
romance and imagination. 1t is a land
without roads and without civilization.
The rough bride paths speak unmis-
takably to the tourist of a non-progress-
i've people. The saddle is in general
use, and the best horses are the Arabs,
and after them come the Turcomans.
Some of the latter attain to great size,
and are used by the rich for display.
The average Turcoman is a fleet and
hardy horse, capable of going from 100
to $50 miles without rest. lie is educa-
ted to get along with very little water,
and to subsist on balls of highly concen-
trated food, the two principal iEredi
ents of which are suet and barley flour.
When the master contemplates a raid,
he gradually reduces for a period of
thirty days, the food and water allow
ance of the horse, and thus inures it to
privatiOn. Grass does not grow in the
vicinity of Teheran, and the principal
food of the horse is barley, except for
two months each year, when the daily
ration is of herbs possessed of laxative
properties.
Outside of the gates of Teheran is the
race course, the longer circuit of which
is about five miles. Only IL meeting
is held each tWelye-month, and it is at
the beginning of the Persian New Year,
the opening of Spring. Arabians, Tur-
comans, and a cross between the Cos
sack and Turcoman compete, and the
chief race is five circuits, or about
twenty-one miles. MI. Sehierbrand saw
the distance run in q minutes AZ sec
onds. Either the time taken was not
correct, or the winner was a wonderfully
good horse. The purses were of gold
and silver coins, tied up in little bags,
which were pitched to the successful
jockeys, who caught them in their tur-
bans. No entrance fee is charged to
the races, and no betting system is car
ried out. About two hundred thousand
persons cheered the contestants, the
walls of the city being dense with peo-
pie. The outer walls overlook the
course, and from them the spectator
gets a grand view of the horses. The
Shah witnesses the sport from a pavilion,
as do also his officers and members OF
the different legations. The jockeys are
mainly boys, but sometimes a heavy
weight, a full-grown man, acts as pilot.
The Arabfrom Bagdad is priced more
highly than any other breed of horses.
The ordinary saddle horse has an easy
canter, and he is sure-footed, but lazy
to a striking degree. The tourist has to
use the lash freely TO make any kind of
speed between the rude stations which
mark the course of the rough bride
paths.

Bullying a Bully.

There is nothing a bully dislikes more
than being himself bullied; and the man
who ridicules every n else is ordinarily
the most sensitive to sarcasm. At a
criminal trial 1.-THE counsel for the plain
tiff" had threatened, and in some cases
had cruelty brow-beaten, the witnesses,
when it CHANGED that a hostler, who was
simplicity personified, was called to give
his testimony.
''Now, sir, [ hope we shall have no
difficulty IN getting you to speak upl"
said the attorney, in a veEy loud, com
manding voice.
II hope not, STRIP shouted the wit
ness, at the top of his lungs
''How dare you speak to me in that
way?"

the hostler.

After n Little While.


There is a strange, sweat solace in the
thought
That all the woes we suffer here below
May as a lark and hideous garment
wrought
For us TO wear, whether we will or no,
Be cast aside, with a relieving smile,
After a little while.
No mortal roaming but hath certain end;
Though far unto the ocean spaces gray
We sail and sail, without a chart for friend,
Above the skyline, faint and far away,
There looms at last the one enchanted isle.
After a little while;
Oh, when our cares come ~througing thick
and fast
With more of anguish than the heart
can bear,
Though friends desert, and; as the needless
blast,
Even love pass by us with a stony stare,
Let us withdraw into some ruined pile,
Or lonely forest aisle
And contemplate the never-ceasing change,
W hereby the processes of God are
wrought,
And from our pretty lives our souls es-
TRANCE,
Till, bathed in currents Of exalted
thought,
We feel the rest that must our cares be
guile

Various Causes of Forest Fires:

The most frequent cause for such
fires is from careless tourists and
sportmen, who on leaving a camp TO
make sure that the fire is put out,
will kick the embers about, thinking
that by thus separating the half burnt
brands the fire will oon go out. So
they will, perhaps, nine times out OF
ten; but the tenth time a whirling gust
or wind may carry a spark of coal
where it will kindle a blaze, or n of
the brands may have some soft, punky
place in 1t where the fire will nestle FOR
days, and bide its time. But old back
woodsmen, the writer thinks are not so
apt to take things for granted.
In northern Maine and New Hamp-
shire he said, tourists would throw
away cigar stumps. The back woods
men can't afford cigars, and as a rule
smoke their pipes out, because they
don't find tobacco or the money to pay
for it very abundant.
Before breech-loaders or cut wads be-
come so common, many bad fires
were started from gun wads made Of
loose paper. The cut wads now used
do not hold fire long. Of course, with
metal cartridges there is no danger.
Locomotive sparks are a very fire.
quent cause when a railroad runs
through a large forest.
