That Rls.OOO.

There Is much idle speculation as to
the name of the unknown giver of sl2, 900
! - the New York yellow fever fund, and
yee there is no reason why the anony-
nous gift Of money should be very rare
a0d surprising thing. That it is rare for
men to give large sums in this way can
noe b denied. but there is great deal Of
money and work given daily without
any heralding of the fact to the
public. The small amounts given
without name whenever public call
FOR help is made, show the same spirit
that animated this giver of thousands,
md no doubt the amounts given were
quite - large in proportion to the ability
~ the givers. A Vanderbilt with an in
come of millions could spare twelve
thousand more easily than a citizen with
an income of hundreds could spare twelve
cents, but 1t is sad commentary on the
eject OF riches that anoDy ymous gifts of
great sums should I've SO rare as to excite
profound wonder. This silent charity

A. more or less affected, and re-
warded by the good opinion of his

The gift of money that causes SO much

The Registry Lists.

The registration of voters In this city,
as returned by the assessors TO the county
commissioners Office, shows total of
5000, which, at the general estimate of
one voter 10 every i've of the population,
would give this city over forty thousand
inhabitants. 1t is not generally supposed
to have more than thirty five thousand,
and the registry apparently is too high.
At the last city election attention was
drawn to the careless way in which the
registry lists were permitted to include
names of persons not voters In the wards,
the result being that some wards had a
larger representation allowed them
In councils than was their due. 1t
does not seem that the exposure then
made has served to make the assessors
careful In their work. The registry TO be
effective should beaccurate. There should
be no opportunity afforded, by the inser-
tion of the names Of persons not voters,
for fraudulent votes being cast at the
polls. The registry list should be purged.

Another view.

The Philadelphia Inquirer takes
different view OF tho self.abnegation
which 1t porceives In General Harrison's
letter, from that which occurred TO US.
II recognizes, a. we did what it styles the
modesty and the absence of egotism In
Its candidates letter and IL seems to II
very lovely. And certainly these are
generally lovely traits of character but
they are sometimes misplaced and 1t
seems to us that they were out Of place
in the communication to his party, Of It's
candidate for president accepting their &C.
lection OF him a. their standard bearer,
and undertaking to call them 10 arms, 10
rally them under his leadership to the de-
fense Of their principles, and TO give them
bugle blast that would be inspiring and
triumphant in its tone.
There does not seem to be fertile field
for modesty when these things are TO be
done; and while General Harrison mani
tested the modesty, we did not hear the
bugle. Brother Blaine, who has never
been troubled with modesty, has been
playing bugle solo 30 far during the
campaign !! and his party seem to like it.
He, and not their candidate, is their
leader. With the Democracy 1t is strik-
ingly different. Their candidate is their
leader and the Inquirer quite nat
urally finds that In his letter Of &C.
ceptance he plants himself in that
place, and speaks rs one entrusted
with the party. He declares what we
know" and tive will do" as with an en-.
tire consciousness that he is properly
speaking for the party and is their mouth
piece and leader. just as he is. 1t Is the
right speech from q leader. IL man
who has been chosen by the party as its
presidential candidate may not properly
express It's beliefs as he understands them,
it will be hard indeed to find anyone who
may speak for it.; and man who is thus
snointed, who fears to take this respon
sibility, is surely not the man for the
place. That which the Inquirer finds to
be virtue in Its candidate and vice in
ours, has become, by virtue of their dele.
gated authority, weakness, In Harrison
and strength in Cleveland.

Mr.. d. A. Holmes, vetinary surgeon
and horse trainer, accompanied by Mr..
WI. Brazcal, Of Magnolia, Ark, has
been in town several days teaching
Wild, unruly and vicious horses how to
bcl.ave themselves in u civilized COM
mnnity, either in harness or under the
saddle We confess that onr faith in
Mr. Holmes system was of a very llmi-
ted character until last Monday eve, at
which time we witnessed the training
and most absolute snhjectioa ofa strong,
hard and high kicker Of the mustang
family of eq.lnes. The horse belongs
to the firm Of Raglassl s. Taylor and
was noted for kicking every thing that
came in contact With his heels; but in
two hours after Mr.. II. began his sys-
tenn at training he was as docile as the
original little sheep that once followed
Mary to school, and could bo Eahd'ed Ill
every manner without danger of being
hurt by his heels. A sack filed with
cora -cobs and dry shucks was finally
attached to the lorsc's tail in order to
to prove The audience that he was cured
oftte vicious habit ofkicking. This was
enough to agravate the Oldest aud gen
tlsst conncstoga that ever worked be-
tween shafts; and under other circum-
stances would have made this one kick
the NAV ont of the center of the neon,
but be had gono through with tho the
trainers system and medium of reason
ing power and showed 10 signs of kick
ing whatever. We think that parties
having wild horses to break, either to
harness or the saddle, will consult their
interest by taking lessons under Mr.,
Holmes.
