THE HORSE BEAT.

AN Ell Paso Texas dispatch thus
refers to an extraordinary race "a
novel race took place yesterday be-
tween horse and bicycle from
Silver City, N. NJ, to Denver-ffty
miles. The course was over rough
mountain road and long stretches
of sand. The race was gotten up by
w. S. Bel.on, a wealthy stockman
of this city, who backed the bicycle,
and J. w. Clayton, of Silver City,
also stockman, who backed the
horse, The wager was 5000 and ff-
ty head of cattle aside, the cattle
valued at $40 ahead. Kennedy, a
professional bicyclist, from Denver,
Col, who holds the all-around
championship of the State of Colo
RADIO, rode the bicycle. The course
was decided in favor of the horse, as
the bicycle could not make any time
in the sand. They started from
Silver City at 6 o'clock a. m. The
horse won the race-time three
hours and four minutes. The bicycle
time was four hours and fifty min
utes. About $4,000 changed hands
in this city. The bicycle was the
favorite. Horsemen claim that this
is the best time on record for this
distance.

But my subject is not trading but
truthfulness. All men want in daily
life from others the truth, even from
the newspapers. Some newspaper
people suppose that the great body
citizens want sensational articles,
whether true or false. 1t is mis-
take. The readers of newspapers
no less than others want nothing but
the truth. Every man rises from
the perusal of sentional article,
the truth OF which he doubts, with
disgust and dissatisfaction. Men
want only the truth. They can lie
for themselves. They don't want
others to lie to them. But it is very
hard to speak the truth and that
only. Let any man try it for sin
gle week. In all his intercourse
with others of both sexes, at home,
in his business, let him determine to
say only that which is exactly SO.
In his correspondence he will fpd
himself hesitating over signing him
self "Your obedient servant" which
he knows he is not.
Let the statesmen tell the truth,
the exact truth and only the truth,
about his goods. Let the lawyer in
the court room speak the truth, the
whole truth and nothing lbut the
truth, with reference to his client
or the opposite side. Let the gossi-
Ply old man or woman who
runs. about asking questions
about everybody and everything,
retail only the truth. Let the news
paper reporter publish only what
he knows to be true, dropping all
that the DEVILS chaff called shear
say" Let everybody for a single
day tell nothing but the truth, and
see how much stronger, better and
more manly they would feel.-A
Preacher in St. Louis Republican.

WHAT is trust, is thus answered
by the New York Commercial Ad
vertiser, former republican paper,
but which vigorously supports Cleve-
land and Thurman. 1t says trust
is a combination of capitalists to
control the production of some ar
ticle which everybody must buy,
and to put up the price limiting
production. Its first step is to close
up some of the establishments that
produce the article, thus turning
numbers of men out of work with
out just occasion. Its next step is
to corner the market, and put up
the price thereby making everybody
pay more than is just or fair for an
article which everybody must buy.
1t anybody sets up an establishment
to make the article, the trust, which
its great capital and wide connec-
tons, ruins him and forbids dealers
to buy of him. If anybody thinks
of interfering with the trust monopo-
ly by importing similar goods from
abroad, the protective tariff forbids.
The democratic party is trying to
reform the protective tariff so that
it shall not thus protect monopolies
in their schemes to control the linn
it of production and make themselves
rich by discharging workmen and
putting up prices.

Mr. Godkin, an obscure person here ex-
eept by the roaring he makes, like weaver
or cobbler who was a lion in Shakespeare,
has been following the profession for some
time of sitting upon the literature of the
United States and snubbing whatever herosm
might occur among US. He is the last
surviving proprietor of Sands Sarsaparilla
which he ought to take for the publication
of his blood and temper This independence
he obtained by marrying an American girl
whose father made the said sarsaparilla, and
her brother married the niece of Mr.. Morton
the wee -presidente elect Not one word did you
you see in the Evening Post against Mr.. Nor
ton during the late campaign, because he was in
the family. A few years ago, when Stanley
came home from his many adventures and az
the discoyerer of Livingstone, undertook to
lecture through this country for some com
pensation for such labors, Mr.. Godkin de :
serbed him in the moribund concern called
the Nation, which is the perversion of coun-
try schoolmasters and seminary teachers as
a common sort of a fellow with no informa-
ton, and limited that he was fraud and
probably had discovered nobody. | read
this with some indignation, to think what a
scrub lounging in other peoples parlors
about New York could have to print about a
hero of the century.
Now, Stanley, employed by kings and
princes, con ,idered TO be the only man OF the
dap who can successfully lead an expedition
to the relief of the lost hero of Germany, is
reported to be captive of Osman Digns. At
this piece of news there is more excitement
among governments than if million people
of the heft of Mr.. Godkin were to be burnt
up in one heeatomb. A7d SANKEY'S eIpedi-
ton with Belgians and various volunteers
from all countries was to rescue a German
who had undertaken to be his rival in the
fields of African exploration. This was the
man whom persons like Mr.. Godkin, So called
reformer, have belittled in their want of pub
lie understanding ano human sympsthes.
Therefore never pay the least attention to
what the same kind of authorities say about
other public men.
