PLTMR AND THE CABINET.

The Kansas City Ster talks on
this subject, and we endorse its
sentiments in every line. Senator
Plumb has been too great man to
afford to curtail his influence upon
the general legislation Of the nation
by surrendering senatorship for a
cabinet position. But to the Stars
words: "There has been a great
deal Of talk in Kansas in relation to
a cabinet position for Senator
Plumb under the Harrison admins
tration, and some papers in that
state have already gone so far as to
assign to him the portfolio of the
treasury. 1t is doubtful whether
Plumb would desire any Office within
the gift Of the president-elect. His
reelection to the senate is fore
gone conclusion, and so far as the
future can be discounted he has a
perpetual lease npon that office. 1t
is place entirely suited to Plumb's
capabilities, and the range Of his in
fluence is constantly widening as he
becomes more familiar with the
affairs of state, and the various
problems which engage the atten-
ton Of the law-making power. A
commanding position in the United
States senate is an honor which is
not to be lightly surrendered, and
no one, perhaps, has more intelli-
gent appreciation of this fact than
Senator Plumb. Four years in the
cabinet can scarcely be regarded in
the light of temptation when it is
set over against six, twelve or
eighteen years in the senate.

In q lecture on Horse Breeding" do
hvered by James Wood, Of Westchestcr
county, n. ", occurred the following
statements: The demand for horses is
constantly increasing. Europe cannot
supply her own needs. Great Britain an
nually Imports 10000 from other coun-
tries. The immense armies Of the CONT
mont are making an ever Increasing de-
mand, and If tho threatening war cloud
bursts the destruction Of horses will be
50 great that this demand win be beyond
the possibility Of supply. It is freely an
nounced in Europe that America alone
can meet these demands. Competent
officers from the German, French and
English armies have made extensive ez-
aminations IN this country as to our
equine resources, and have made very full
reports to their respective governments.
Even in times Of peace they gro drawing
upon us.
The demands Of our home markets rre
constantly increasing. In New York city
alone IA, 600 horses die every year, and as
many moro become lame or ere otherwise
disabled end are sent into tho country,
from which they never return. lncreaa-
ing business makes increasing demGndg,
and while the substitution OF electricity
for horse power upon the street railways
will doubtless, in the near future, injure
the market for inferior horses, yet the re.

The visitor battles in the surf from
ten until noon. The ladies are gener-
ally of fine form. Those who are not
usually prefer the mountains. Great
ingenuity is shown in personal display.
There are several movements, prac-
ticed with success and JUNCTION, that
surpass anything in the Fifth regi-
ment's most faultlessly-drIlled soldier
in the manual Of arms. The ladies'
movements are not the manual OF
arms, exactly. The first is known as
the wiring" The lady disports a
while in the surf, rushes out on the
beach, ostensibly to greet friend, and
grasps the front Of her wet skirt that
clings and impedes her, and, lifting it
high above the stocking-clad knee,
wrings the water from it. The ''lilt''
is where a practiced driller so manages
her position that a wave lifts up the
skirt and pastes it up as lazy person
would hastily pin up a blind. After
this the lady is chilly and PAGES the
beach until some one informs her that
her skirt is up. She smiles sweetly, says
'Thank you" gives little scream and
hastily adjusts the skirt, and as she re-
turns to the water she says lnwardly:
Il wish the mean thing would mind
her own business" But the champion
movement is the ''surf roll" To do
this requires nerve and practice to
attain an innocent exterior. The LADY
sits in shallow surf, face shoreward,
the line Of her body being at an angle
of forty-five degrees with the shore.
Several small waves wash by and then
comes a big one. It rushes back to
sea, engulfs her, losses high the SKIRT,
and likewise the pantelettes. Two
white flashes are momentarily seen
above the long stockings, the merry
waves tow the lady out, rolling her
over and over..a and causing a pretty
confusion, from which emerges stified
Ohsl and then she RECEIVERS and-does
it again. OF course it is not meant in
describing these artful little exhibit
tons that they are practiced by every
lady. Oh, no! far from it.

the defendants using the patents
until they pay the royalty. The case was
heard at Trenton, N. j., on former occa-

done she shot over the falls like az arrow.
