land DR.. Frazer, its editor, has always been
a Democrat, and we have felt for long time
that his Independent course didn't set well on
his shoulders; that he didn't feel that he was
doing justice to the memory of his ancestors,
or that he liked the term Independent, which,
as a rule, means nothing, politically. We
welcome the Ne,oS to the Democratic ranks,
and feel assured that its readers and the peo-
pie of Cecil will uphold it in doing good work
for Cleveland and Tariff Reform.

There will be few voters in the country by
election day who will not be able to vote in
diligently. From the National and State
Democratic headquarters and from tariff re-
form leagues, millions of documents on the
tariff are being sent out, and when they are
thoroughly distributed host of speakers will
be put in the field. The great fight will be
waged in the Northern and Western States,
and on the Pacific Coast, though the South
will not be neglected. 1t will be the most
memorable campaign of the country, for the
Republican party is putting forth its best eff
forts also, and its last, too, for it will be over

whole it was the most satisfactory enter

opera house for some time. The humor
was fresh, the singing first-class and the
costuming elegant. Like Maggie Mitch
ell, Miss McHenry becomes more popular
each year. Nate Salisbury and his laugh
able eccentricltIes were missed, but Blair
was an acceptable substitute and his ballet
girl turn was simply immense. John
Webster. Miss McHenry's husband, is a
very good comedian and p%ersonated the

style. The HumminG Bird is not much
of a play, but is an excuse for the rendi-
ton of no end of good songs, graceful
dances and clean Jokes and hits by very

THE VERY LARGEST.
The Most Extensive Horse Farm
In the World.
The Model 0st-Perchsr8n Plant
Near This City.
A Great Ranch Containing 5000
Acres of Land.
How the Finest Horses Are Bred
On the Plains.

A LEADER reporter visited the largest
horse farm in the world last Sunday and
was entertained and instructed beyond
measure.
This great plant is the POST ercheron
horse ranch and its magnitude is almost
beyond the conception of eastern men, or
the majority of westerners for that matter,
engaged in the same industry.
Thirteen miles northeast of this city,
the stockholders of the concern, who are
New York, Brooklyn, Pittsburg and terri
torial capitalists, have invested, it is said,
81, 225. 900 and are constantly increasing
the value of their Hoperty.
The far consists Of 100, 900 acres of land
enclosed within 200 miles of barb wire
fence. There are 5000 head of horses on
the place and the names of sixty-ive men
appear on the company payroll.
From the home ranch to the fifth out
post is a distance Of nine miles. Water
is obtained from three streams and fifteen
a~rtesian wells. But 1000 acres of the
immense tract are under cultivation. This
task and the storing of water in a chain of
eight artificial lakes of considerable area
requires the maintenance of nine miles of
bitches and necessary ~laterals. So large
is the ranch thar punches of horses have
been lost for weeks at a time within this
vast corral.
Of the 5000 horses on the place, 1900
are Oregon mares, 1000 Canadian and
Eastern mares, the remainder Of the she
stock Wyoming mares. During almost
the entire year the breeding animals and
the saddle horses used by the men feed
entirely upon the ranges. They are always
in prime condition.
The stud comprises %forty-nine imported
stations of royal lineage. Forty-seven of
the noble animals are full blooded Per-
cherons and their pedigrees are accompa-
MED by certificates of genuineness from
the French government under the seal of
the republic. Two stations are the high
est bred coachers direct from France.
Every member of the stud is a prize win
ner and several are historical animals. Six
of the get of Brilliant. the horse repro
duced on canvas by Rosa Bonheur as the
most perfect representative of the equine
kingdom occupy box stalls in the home
ranch stable. 1t was from this place that
an absolutely wild horse-a beautiful and
Symmetrical savage-was exported to Bon
heur two years ago. 1t required the con-
certed efforts of nine experienced men to
drive the horse from the range to the
railway.
Following are the names of some of the
stations, together with their American
and French numbers:

A merry band of b~urlesquers and speci-
alists, under the name OF the Rentz-
Stanley company, held the boards at the
Peoples theater yesterday afternoon. No
| company of a like kind that has ever ap-
| pearcd before us this season has presented
US with such a magnificent entertainment.
There is not a single feature lacking to
complete its perfection, nothing to mar its
splendor, and that they were greeted with
a full house goes without saying. The
first novelty on the programme was a
satire on the craze of tobogganing, en-
belllshed with a real slide in operation,
vocal selections and comedy HIS of a high
order. The finish of the burlesque
brought before the audience what ap-
peared to be the hit of the evening. 1t
was Sara. whose grotesque dancing and
high kicking set the audience wild with
excitement. She is, indeed, marvellous.
Another feature of the evenings enter
tainment was the first appearance in
America of the Austrian female sword
guard. These ladies are very clever with
the foils, and are competent to give many
