ing the sire of trotters. Donega1's dam is

herself to be composed of the right ma

colts, and at very moderate price.

HISTORY. Take him all in all he is
the most wonderful horse that ever cleo
trified the trotting world, as the follow
ing sketch Of his racing career will prove.
His first appearance on the turf was at
Suffolk Park, May 10th, 1877, in the
singular class of 2.25 for green horse !;
but he won third money with a reserve
Of speed. He subsequently trotted num-
erous races in the Western circuit, evil
IDENTIFY for experience, and was not allow
ed to take record until the entries for
the grand circuit closed he then cut
loose, scoring his first victory at Chicago,
and won all his races, sustaining only
a single defeat, and is the only trotter
that ever lowered his record below 2.20
in the first season, which he closed with
record Of 2.19f, after a few months
turf experience. He was campaigned
successfully several seasons by John +.
Turner of Philadelphia, and his winnings
amounted to S3l, $50.
1t is safe to say that no horse ever on
he turf showed the ability to stand
campaigning with Hannis, trotting as
many severe races and travelling thous-
ands of miles, year in and year out,
and now that he has been retired to the
stud, there is every reason for believe
ing that with his fine breeding, great
speed, purity of gait and wonderful en-
durance, he will make himself equally
famous as a sire of trotters and roadsters.
Other sons of Mambrino Pilot, such as
Mambrino Gift, Caliban, &C., have prov
en- very prepotent, and Hannis is clearly
the best son of his sire-there being de-
scended from large, rangy stock his
colts will have plenty of size as well as
| finish.
The celebrated Young Stallion,
Hannis Jr., will also serve a limited
number ofmares on the farm. $50 for
the season with the privilege of return
ing mares not proving in foal next year
free of charge. The season money will
be required to be paid in all cases when
mares are served or when they are taken
away from the farm.
Stable keep or pasture at very reasona.
BILE rates for mares and good care given
but no responsibility for accident or es'
capes. barney Moore.

Prejudice.

Why is it that there are things
and persons, we are prejudiced
against? There is dislike which
strikes one at first sight, and forever
afterward the dislike will remain.
At the least provocation we find
words to express our dislike or con-
denim it. Just such a spirit as this
exist more or less in every town. In
many instances no reason can be
assigned, but it exists, all samee.
We would like some of our citizens
to cast their prejudice aside and
they will find out that THE LEDGER
strives to do what is just and right.

THIS is going to be a good year
for ofiice-seekers and politicians.
Perhaps, in many instances, Office
seekers and politicians mean the
same, but what we mean is, that a
politician is a wire-puller, one who
helps to get his "man" nominated,
and endeavors to elect him if nomi-
mated. There are several good posi-
tions to be filled at the November
election, of which we will speak
more of as the time draws closer.
We will also support the men who
are the fittest.

Russia crash is the toughest

growing regions of Russia are
full oflittle narrow hand looms.
A loom is a part of a peasant
family's outfit. The housewife
weaves, the children, the lord of
the mansion himself. The loom
is never idle. One weaves a
little and turns to other work;
another goes to the loom; an
other; another. You can see
in the crash their different weav-
ings. Out of the loom, on the
snow to bleach; it lies there for
months. Discolored, uneven,
streaky. By and by Mr.. Peasant
wants some money; and cuts
off so many yards of his crash.
That is the story of Russia
crash. You can read it short
in the remnant-like lengths as
they come. This more. The
linen is full as good as it looks
andprobably better. The rough

The Knights of Labor of this town
visited The LEDGER Office on Mon
day and made complaint about a
phrase" we used three weeks ago.
The first committee demanded re-
traction, and used language to the
effect that if we did not retract, they
would find way to make us, or
put us where we would never see
any more newspapers" Rather in
timidating language, to be sure. But
it wont work. We were not aware
of having given offense to the
Knights. They mistook our phrase
ology for other than what we meant.
Later in the week a second commit
tee called, and the misunderstood
ing between us was soon explained.
From what we understand the first
committee was self-constituted.
However, we were glad they called.
Now, this offense of the Knights
grew out of trivial cause and was
easily settled. We are the friend oil
the laborer, and have only tried tc
point out just what we believed tc
be the right course to pursue. We
are not trying to "keep on both
Sides as declared by the first com
mittee, sand making failure O
both" We have always tried to b,
independent in all things, and ex
pressed our views in fair and i'm
partial manner, and shall continu,
to do SO. The great questions of tn,
day we shall fairly discuss-anC
among those the great strike in tn
West. We do not intend to offent
any one, and cannot be inundated
If we make an error we will correc
willingly, if approached in the RICH
manner.
