For many years says the Chicago Horse.

For many years, says the Chicago Horse man, it was contended by bree ders that about all the speed at the trotting gait came from the sire, annd the success of Hambletonian gave them good grounds for the belief until such famous matrons as Lady Patriot, Dolly and Green Noun tain Maid and their contemporaries began to attrack attention through the uniform success and individual excellence of their foals. After a time more attention was paid to the selection of brood mares, great care beivg taken in the tracing of the peed-producing lines united in them, and more especially those coming from promi- nent matrons through their dams. In this way the speed producing dam boom was founded, and through it what will be known as the thorough bred trotters will be produced. This line of breeding has also reduced the production of 2.3O per former almost to certainty, and there are already several mares that have with sound ness guarenteed not foal but could enter the 23O list at maturity. It has also given buyers better class of youngsters to SC. lect from, as we'll as colts that show enough promise at an early age to warrant the pay. ment of the price asked for them.

Is prohibition benefited by having it's sup porters massed into one party? In Iowa the republican party is committed to prohibition, though probably the law was first secured by non partisan movement. Now that party shows that it is weakened by making the issue it's own, and prohibition gains nothing by it. The newly elected governor is an antl-prohi- bitionist. and left the republican party be- cause of it's temperance issue, as many other republicans have done. How about the pro- hibition democrats; have they become re- publicans? Not much! They are helping democracy to profit by the solidifying of the anti-prohibitionists in opposition to the re. publican party.

sA LESSON of the results" of the election is seen in the recognized fact that in the three states where the republicans showed losses the politicians and not the people made the candidates. In Massachusetts the managers made Bracket the candidate for governor when the people preferred Crapo. Bracket is able and honest, and will make good governor. He will be popular year hence, and will have an easy contest for reelection. But it was risk to run. His associates on the ticket have led him by thousands of votes. In Ohio Gov. Foraker was renominated for a third term in opposition to fixed practice of Q two term -four years) limit. Result, the Gov. Foraker. In Iowa also the nomination made by the republicans was weak one in several particulars. Here also the republican ticket was elected, governor excepted. Now no candidate on ticket can fall behind his running mates without in measure dragging upon the entire team, Neither can one lead in the race without giving forward impulse to the entire ticket. And this is true in the greatest degree of the head of the ticket
 When the Australian system of voting pre- vails everywhere there will be more care exer- cised in making nominations, for the reason that there will be more independence in vot- ing. This is one of the best features of that system. With good nominations by all parties there will be certainty of the choice of good officials. We might also instance Virginia as an example of injudicious nomination.

NEW YORK assumes that it is to have the industrial exhibition of 1892, commemorative of our being found by Columbus 400 years before, and the country generally will be suited with the location, provided that city furnishes a suitable site, and pays for the honor and accrueing profit what other cities are eager to give for the same. It is probable that she will, but the money is being pledged very slowly, and the instance of Grants neg lected grave gives the rival cities chance to sneer St. Louis and Chicago are both act ively moving to get the exhibition away from New York, and Washington, also, wants it.

COOPERATIVE HoUsEKEEPNG.-One of the fairest dreams conjured up by Edward Bellamy in his popular book, Looking Backward, l" and one which, in these days when servants are the mistresses, has special attractiveness to every home maker, is cooperative house. keeping. To the complete building of this castle, in any more substantial material than air, is long look ahead, but at least one or two solid blocks are even now ready for the foundation.

 The threat, that if the congress under takes to guard federal elections in the south, the negroes will all be sent north which is made by The Charleston News and Courier, is very neatly replied to by The World, democratic paper of that ClLy, WuICu uHS JUG BOOO SeuS0 to say "The negro is very important and essen ial element of our population, and we want him here forever, notwithstanding the de- sire of our unwise politicians to run h1m out of the country.

Forty Proverbs of The Sea.

He who would learn to pray should
go to sea.
When one falls into the sea he stays
there
When you walk, pray once; when
you go to sea, pray twice; when you
go to be married. pray three times.
Women are ships and must be
manned.
The sea refuses no river.
All the rivers go to the sea, and it
never overruns..
The sea is not soiled because a dog
stirs it up.
To drunken man the sea only
reaches to the knees.
If the sea boiled, where would one
go to find water to cool it?
What comes by starboard goes by
larboard.
Being at sea, sail; being on land,
settle.
He that will not sail till he have a
full, fair wind will lose many q voyage.
Unless you have the wind astern
you must know how to navigate.
You cannot sail as you would, but
as the wind blows.
In calm sea, every man is pilot.
To a rotten ship every wind is con-
trary.
What fear would he have of the
waves who had Noah for a pilot?
Every sea, great as it is, grows calm
A large ship needs much water.
Where the ship can go the brigan-
tine can go.
1t is easier to get away from the
bank than from the bottom.
The ship which doesn't mind her
helm will mind the hidden rocks.
He who can steer need not row.
1t will not do to have two main
masts in ship.
Better lose an anchor than the whole
ship.
Good roller, good sailer.
DO good and cast it into the sea; if
the fish ignore it, God will know it.
Ii clouds look like they had been
scratched by hen, get ready to reef
your topsails then.
The full moon eats clouds.
he who sends mean man to sea
will get neither fish nor salt.
Every port serves in a gale.
A mariner must have his eyes on
the rocks and sands as well as on the
north star.
Ill goes the boat without oars.
From the boat we get to the ship.
Don't judge of the ship from the
land.
The freshest and sweetest fish come
from the safest sea.
No one can complain of the sea who
has been twice shipwrecked.
He gets his passage for nothing and
winks at the captains wife.
The sea isn't burning.
He that is embarked with the devil
must sail with him.-United SerUice.

are suitable for hat trimming.
English walking jackets are made a
trifie longer this season than last.

OF wearing more than one.
The new felt bonnets are very soft
and fine and dyed in autumn shades.
dark; pale and neutral, to match street
costumes.
Cloth dresses are made with tight
fitting sleeves, as full sleeves of SO
thick material could not be worn
with autumn and winter jackets.
Golden brown and Ficelle gray are
beautifully combined In tailor-made
carriage costumes of royal armure and
ladies' cloth of exquisitely fine text
ure.
For dinners and o'clock teas black
lace dresses combined with pale vel
low or orange mOire in Spanish fash
ion are very popular with young ladies
of the brunette order or beauty.
An exquisite dinner gown is of milk
white India cashmere, demi-trained
and with Greek draperies bordered
with wide fret embroidered in gold
and silver cords.
There is a fancy for ribbon trim
ming on the plain straw hat. Masses
of loops and ends are piled on the
crown, entirely concealing it. while
the brim is left undecorated.
New and luxurious tea gowns are
sent over made of black or deep violet
velvet, with embroidered borders of
fide gold leaves.
Many of the stylish wool gowns
have pretty loose waists of silk, belted
and worn with Beau Brummel coats
that have loose fronts and jersey
fitting backs.
Soutasche braids are still highly
popular on certain styles of dress,
these put on in rows or crossing each
other in quaint fashion.
The popularity of the sailor hat is
still so great that milliners, both here
and abroad, are using the simple, fiat
crowned, straight brimmed shapes
of airy models In net and tulle
A prominent characteristic in au-
tumn fashions will be the increased
popularity of the directoire redingote,
which will appear in divers forms and
made of;greatly varied fabrics.
