Abusing Horses.
stockman and Farmer.

National StOCkman and Farmer.
1t seems to be natural for some
men to always be humping and
abusing the horses which they handle.
In fact snch work is pracliced by
some to such an extent that their
horses think there is something wrong
If they are not sIashcd and jcrkeJ
around all the time, and scarcely know
what to do with themselves when
they are placed in the hands of men
who know how to manage horses that
have been properly trained without
abusing them. To say the least, these
abusive methods are shameful and
needless, and are only practiced by
those who know but little or nothing
about horsemanship The idea pre-.
walls among this ignorant class of men,
tha! without this rough treatment, they
could not manage their horses. This
is one Of tie greatest errors that men
who handle horses can fall INTO. If
horse has any habits that make him
unpleasant TO handle, they should be
thoroughly broken up at once, after
which there will be no cause for
further trouble. An hours work we'll
directed will remedy the worst fault
in tue training of almost any horse,
and it is better to take the time,
should it require a whole day to
break up habits that are annoying,
than to let them run along during tho
whole life of the animal. Whenever
you see man who is continually
fighting his team, you can set him
down as fool Or tyrant. If he is
the first, he hasn't sense enough tC
know how to treat his horses. If be
is the second, he is abusive because
he has the power to show his evil dis
position, and the poor brutes cannot
resist him.

Give the Travelling Man His Due.


One of the noticeable features Of the recent
campaign was the support Of the Republican
travelling men. From the time that they visited
Gen. Harrison in such large numbers to pay their
respects several weeks ago, until the polls closed
they were fighting troops all the tina Every man
WAS worth a regiment Wherever he went he
was a Republican recruiting agent. with the
curbstone for his stump the hotel lobby for his
opera-house, the cars for his headquarters. and
bureau. The travelling men talked politics
wherever they went. and their cheering
words and plain practical arguments made
q great many votes for Harrison. There
seemed to be almost q Spontaneous move
ment among the commercial travellers this year
toward the Republican party. They were SO
profoundly impressed with the fact that Demo
cratic success meant business distress, that they
turned to the Republican party for protection in
more senses than one. They had better oppor-
tunity than any one else to see the business de-
preston that had followed Mr. Cleveland's cleo
ton. They had their hands on the business
pulse OF the country every day, and they knew
that Democratic victory meant disaster, SO
they came out by q large majority for the Re-
publican ticket. Their cordial and constant
support was very valuable and secured thous-
ands Of votes for Harrison. Give the travelling
man his due. He is q very useful s. well as a
much maj aligned member OF society. But what
ever faults and vices may be induced by his
nomadic life, the travelling man. as a rule, has a
generous heart and a very level head, ana that's
why he is usually Republican.

No man in New Jersey was moro disappointed
in the recent election than Mr.. Phelps, who con.
idently counted on the Legislature as Repub-
lcan by a good working ma jority. He attributes
the loss os the State TO Harrison the fact that
the Democrats made an educational campaign
with money and canvassed the eastern portions
of the State with far more earnestness and thor
oughness than did the Republicans.
Mr.. Phelpss friends say that he would
accept the position of Secretary of State.

The Largest Percentage of Gain.

TO the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
In behalf OF Clinton county, I desire to cor
rect an error in your paper Of yesterday. stating
that Hancock county had made the largest per
cent of gain of any county in tine State. Now,
for the figures: Hancock county gave a total
vote in 1884 of PAT for Cleveland and Blaine,
and. allowing gain of 800 Republican votes,
makes a net gain of T. per cent. Clinton county
in 1854 gave Cleveland and Blaine G. PSI, and ade
net gain of 483 votes, or 40 per cent This
certainly gives rs the largest gain on total vote
in the State, and places Clinton county a. the
banner county.
