PROSPECTUS.

The increasing prosperity of the REGISTER is
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't tenth part of what we intend ii shall
the world on the true history and pedigree OF
the American road horse. As such,it deserves
and must get the very widest circulation Its
Horse Department is worth many times its
subscription price - valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in tor this department; and we eX-
pect to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors-
his hitherto unknown: Old Pilot, st. Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse; Lady Surrey dam
of Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, e. 5. OF Green's
Bashaw; Leondas, reputed g. 5. of Biggarts
Rather, and many others.
This is re-eminently the kind of iniorma-
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper. 1t is the American gentle
mans paper for the history OF the horse In
all such information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed, the trac-
ing of some of these pedigrees seems very
similar to n romance, in which one sees not
only the animated bearing and noble action
OF the horse, but also the life and beauty OF
the country through which he travels.

THE VERMONT HORSE BREEDERS
ASSOCIATION

The full programme of the fourth an
nual meeting of this deservedly popular
association is given in another column.
The three former exhibitions have all
been highly successful and the assoca-
ton is in a prosperous condition. Its
work is of the greatest value to the breed
ers of this State, as it shows the practical
results of current breeding in the various
lines, stimulates the production of fine
horses, brings buyer and seller together,
exhibits the stock to large concourse of
horsemen from abroad who are attracted
by the exceeding excellence of the show
of horses, and in every way promotes the
horse breeding industry, which now
stands among the first in value and i'm
portance in the State. The promoters of
this enterprise are gentlemen whose
names are guaranty of clean methods
and freedom from all kinds of jobbery.
None of the Objectionable features of an
ordinary horse race are found at these
meetings. Gambling is prohibited; no
intoxicating liquor, beer or cider is al
lowed to be sold upon the grounds, nor
are any of the games and money-catching
devices common to fairs permitted. The
speed contests, which are not INDUCED in
for mere sport, but are necessary to ex-
hibit the speed results of different COM
binations of blood, as early as may be, in
order that breeders may benefit by them,
are conducted with the utmost fairness
and with the intent in every case that
the best animal shall win. The result of
this management is splendid exhibition
of horses, and quiet and orderly meet
ing which the leading gentlemen of the
country do not hesitate to attend with
ladies. The association merits the pat
ronage of every philosophical Vermont
er, whether he Is interested in horse
breeding or not. Each meeting has
eclipsed the one preceding and the COM
ing exhibition should be the best of all.

LEV p. MOTION.

Levi P. Morton was born in Shorthand,
Vt, May Is, 1894. He became clerk in
country store, soon developed an apti-
tude for business and rose rapidly. In
1850 he was made member of the firm
of Beebe, Morgan & Co., merchants of
Boston, and in 1854 he moved to New
York where he established the firm of
Morton & Grinnell. In 1868 he found
ed the banking house of Morton, Bliss
& Go. in New York and that of Morton,
Rose & Co. in London. The latter were
the fiscal agents of the United States gov
erment from 1873 till 1884,
The firms of which Mr.. Morton is the
head were active in the syndicates that
negotiated United States bonds, and in
the payment of the Geneva award of $15,-
100000 and the Halifax fishery award of
S5,500,000. Nh. Morton was appointed
honorary commissioner to the Paris
exposition in 1878. In the same year he
was elected to congress as Republican,
and he was reelected in 1880. In the
latter year he declined the nomination
for vice-president on the Republican
ticket.
President Garfield offered to nominate
Mr.. Morton for secretary of the navy
or minister to France. Hechose the lat
ter post, and filled it from 1881 to 1885.
Through his intercession the restrictions
upon the importation OF American pork
were removed, and American corporations
obtained legal status in France. He
was American Commissioner general to
the Paris Electrical exposition, the rep
resentative of the United States at the
submarine cable convention, and pub
licly received, in the name of the people
of the United States, the Bartholdi stat
ne of Liberty Enlightening the World
Mr.. Morton, in 1887, purchased "Eller-
size" the estate of William Kelly, at
Rhinebeck, on the Hudson. The degree
of LII. d. was conferred upon him by
Dartmouth college, in 1881, and by
Middlebury in 1881. In 1887 he was a
candidate for United States senator.

We do not claim that this had
any possible effect in securing his
nomination. We do claim, though,
that the fact Of the Chicago conven-
ton seeing the same way nine days
later is no discredit to us as a polit-
ical prognosticator.
Our claims in behalf Of General
Harrison were based upon the con-
viction, as we then expressed it, that
the action of the Democrats in fail
ing to nominate Gray, Of Indiana,
had made it possible for the Repub-
licans to turn that action into a ia
tai blunder.
The nomination Of Hon. Levi P.
Morton was a proper concession to
make to the great state Of New
York. The delegation from that
state said that his nomination would
unite all factions Of the Republican
party in that state. Ii this be true,
Cleveland will be beaten in that
state.

PORTER TALKS FOR HIS CHIEF.

Ex-Governor Porter, of Indiana,
was seen Monday evening at the
Grand Pacific, in Chicago, by an as
sociate press reporter, and asked for
his opinion OF the nomination of
General Harrison. Judge Porter
said that it was a great nomination
for Indiana, for the party and for
the country. He said that there was
no local opposition to Senator Har-
rison, which, in a month would be
heard of. Some Of the friends of
Judge Gresham might feel disap-
pointed, but Harrison was the choice
Of the state, and Judge Gresham's
friends will support General Rarri-
son heartily when the first feeling
Of disappointment has died out. He
said that Harrison's nomination
would make one Of the widest and
most enthusiastic campaigns that
has ever been seen in the state. He
would not say that Indiana was
an absolutely sure Republican state,
but that Harrlson's nomination
makes it more surely so than the
nomination of any other man.
Speaking of the vote of Senator
Harrison on the Chinese question,
Judge Porter said that the best evil
dence that General Harrison S record
was acceptable to the coast was
shown by the fact that he was sup
ported and voted for from the start
to-day, after Blaine had dropped
out, and his record had been thor
oughly discussed and was fully un-
derstood. The California delegation
had given assurance that Harrison
would carry every Pacific state, and
he Porter) had not the slightest
doubt of his election.

y
tempted to farm for living in this
region. Do you think we are guess
ing at this? Well, we are not!
Testimony goes to show that the
summers and falls out here in those
times were almost entirely free from
rain. Shows fell much as they fall
in these later years. The rains of
the spring came down in torrents,
and passed quickly into the streams
and out Of the country, leaving
word to the buffaloes and the buffalo
grass to keep each other faithful
company. This faithful company
was kept as long as the receding
waters permitted scorching sun
from sky Of brass to perpetuate,
without dispute, the reign of the
buffalo grass. No reader Of this
article has failed to hear of the
times out here when fresh meat, un-
sailed, would cure in the sun.
So, you are ready to believe, are you
not, that this picture Of past condi-
lions in this region is true? The
change to the present conditions is
great, is it not? 1t is easy to I'M
derstand the power Of momentum
of, for instance, the increasing We
.locity Of falling object; of the in
creased efficiency which experience
gives to the worker in any field, and
so on. The same principle holds
good in the development Of western
Kansas. The march Of civilization
from the East has settled the eastern
and central portions of this state.
Twenty-Five years ago farming was
considered unreliable throughout The
state, and Junction City was called
the jumping off place. toward the
west. But the pillow and other con-
comitants Of civilization caused the
partial retention Of the rain which
fell. The ground became soaked
more and more as new years came.
The rainfall, without being increased
in volume to any considerable extent
per annum, was better distributed.
We have already witnessed these
changes to a considerable extent in
this portion Of the state. The nat
ural law Of momentum will contin-
ue.to hasten the speed of the reyo
luton. Some Of these early-coming
years the buffalo grass will be gone.
Then western Kansas will be as de-
sirable for agriculture as eastern OR
central Kansas now is.
In view of these facts, is it sensi-
bic to wait to settle here in boom?
Does boom change these facts I'M
DERIVING the true development Of
this region? Does not the sensible
course lie in the direction of buying
a home here when real estate prices
are reasonable? Yes! Nothing can
be palmer!

A FATALITY seems to attend some sur
names. A short time ago an associate
press telegram stated that member of
the editorial staff of the Wichita Beacon
had, in company with several other men,
found large number of places in Atchi-
son where liquor could be purchased con-
trary to the Prohibitory law. The story
sounded improbable, because the Mayor
of Atchison was said to have been one of
the party who had surveyed the city on
this mission. Subsequent developments
have brought forth the statement that
Douglas Hotchkis is the member of the
Beacon staff who was at Atchison, and
that he spent large portion of night in
house of i'll fame in that city. Again,
in other words, stinker of that name
has been scorched. A crime which one
of the tribe would, for political effect,
have fastened fraudulently upon another
person has been proved against party
by the name of Hotchkiss! Whew!

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.


The WORLD of to-day furnishes
comprehensive reports Of the pro-
ceedings Of each day in the national
Republican convention Of 1888.
The party platform is worthy Of
careful perusal and study. Starting
out with solemn ayowels Of loyalty
to this government and the cause of
pure government, this platform
places first the right Of every man
to cast one fair ballot, and have that
counted. This is just where this
plank of the platform belongs. In
the Republican platform Of 1884,
beyond vague allusion in the be-
ginning, the subject of free ballot
and fair count was the last one
mentioned.
The emphatic declaration Of pro-
lection doctrine properly follows in
the platform of 1888 the demand
for free ballot. The denunciation
of the Mills bill is as logical as it is
earnest.
The Chinese question is dealt with
in modern business way.
The balance of the platform is to
the point, and is conclusive evidence
that the spirit Of business progress
sion yet permeates the millions of
Republican voters who sent the del
egates to Chicago to place in nomi-
nation a national ticket and declare
platform Of principles.
The resolutions offered by Mr..
Boutelle, just at the close of the
convention, in favor of temperance
VIII be endorsed by every sober
minded citizen of the United States.

;f;cation in being able to announce

How Girls can Make Themselves
Agreeable.

Little girls who wish to be agreeable
must remember that as rule it is ill.bred
to act in sullen or churlish manner, to
say spiteful things, to ridicule the aged or
deformed, 10 talk and laugh go loudly as
to attract notice in public, to be petulaut,
to- find fault with gift, and to complain
about the weather or anything else una.
voidable that happens to be particularly
disagreeable.
Girls try always to be natural, to forget
self, to be gracious towards every one, to
cultivate an amiable disposition, and try
to add to the happiness of othors. IF
possible learn to walk in an easy and
graceful manner without mincing or TAX
ing steps too long. Learn to use your
hands, and do not sit in company with your
arms tightly folded, as though they we're
notintended for present use. Conversation
requires gestures at times. If asked to
sing or play, comply at once, if it is in
your power to do so. Be scrupulously
neat in dress, and see that your room is
always in order. And all such disagree
able habits as picking the nose, ears, or
teeth in company, biting or trimming the
nails, yawniug and appearing bored when
any one-particularly an old person-is
speaking. Never interrupt any one be-
cause he is telling you tiresome story.
You can bear the inaiction much better
than he can endure the wound his vanity
will receive. Always acknowledge an ac-
quaintance if worthy Of your respect, no
matter where he is, or however shabby his
clothes may be. The young girl or 10y
who has polite bow, smile and a
pleasant word for every one, will be
blessed with many friends. Above all
learn to be true hearted and sincere.
A silly, tickle minded person, with no
opinion and principles worth defending or
retaining is at best worthless member of
society, and one who will never have
much influence for good. He may attain
the mere outward polishing of manner,
but his mind and soul will never shine.
Such politeness may make a fop or
"dude" or "dudine;" but it will never
make true gentleman or lady.
Will not our young readers strive to
attain the courtsey that begins at the
hearts core and not at the lips? 1t is
worth trying.-American Agriculturlst.
