CHEATING IN TIE SADDLE.

Charles Wood, the English jockey, who, after the
death of Frederick Archer, held the foremost place
as a rider OK races, has failed in his appeal from
the decision OF the lower court in his libel suit
Wood sued a British journal for heavy damages
because IL charged him with dishonesty. The
Jury found damages Of one farthing and the judge
assessed tho enormous costs Of the trial against
Wood, on the ground that the jury by its verdict
practically decided that Woods character was so
bad that the charge did him no substantial wrong.
The higher court on appeal sustained this ruling.
Wood cannot ride in England, his license having
been taken away by the Stewards OF the Jockey
Club. He was undoubtedly the most sldlful
master Of his art in the Old World, but he Is now
disgraced and ruined because he was o tricllster
in the saddle.
Why does not Wood come to America Ho
will find here the most complaisant and indulgent
set Of racing officials in the world men who look
on with an approving smile while the race going
public is robbed before their eyes. He will find
most OF our jockey clubs in the hands of people
who care far more for dividends on the stock than
for the honesty and fairness Of the racing. He
will find in the judges stand st too many of our
tracks turfmen who always take the side Of thiev-
sh trainers cheating jockeys and cozcning
owners against the public. He will find troops
OF plant and servile truckers who are tirelesS
in writing and printing apologies and excuses
for all the knnvery and fraud Of the turf He
will find publications base enough TO advocate
any infamous iobbery which INSCRIPTIONS men
can ooutriye on our raoe-courseS Yes, Wood
should come here by oil means He would dis
cover on many Of our race-tracks an uneQualled
Geld for the exercise Of his peculiar abilities
His usefulness is at an end in England, Let
him cross the Atlantic Immediately and get
familiar with American ways before the regular
racing season opens on May Is.
Meanwhile It may be suggested that II most
OF the jockeys who ride on American rnce-tracks,
including somo Of the highest skill, the widest
reputation and the largest incomes, should ever
get before an honest judge and an honest jury the
results would be "a unsatisfactory TO them as the
outcome of Woods libel suit has been to the

PARNELL AND BALFOUR.

Mr.. Parnell, in his speech at the London
banquet in honor of Lord Spencer reproduced
Mr.. Gladstones chief argument for Home Rule.
He described coercion of despOtic character
as the sole alternative for legislative autonomy.
This was the Liberal leaders method of pre-
senting the Irish question in 1855, when the
English constituencies were warned by him
that they must choose between governing the
island in the most arbitrary and deSpotic way
and granting Home Rule. Mr.. Gladstone had
tried the policy of force and had made signal
failure. Mr.. Forster and Lord Spencer were
resolute men Of singular capacity and inhexible
purpose; and they had done their best but
had not succeeded Mr.. Gladstone accepted
the logic Of his own failures and was prepared
to concede Home Rule and he predicted that
If he were defeated the Unionists would have
to repeat the time-worn and futile experiment
of attempting to prove that force was a remedy.
Moreover, he commended that coercion to be
effective must be more drastic than Mr.. Fors-
ters and Lord Spencers policy had been. Mr..
Parneu in like manner assumes that it is a
case OF excluded middle, as the logicians would
say. Ireland he holds may be- pacified by des-
potisIn Of the Cromwellian order an English
NV'SAh"A oSihS hlJH pOnOt VI
settle the land question and to enforce martial
law But If English opinion revolts against
that medieval method as alien to modern ideas
of civilization, he offers Home Rule as the only
alternative.
1t could hardly be expected that Mr.. Parnell
would do justice to Mr. Balfour. He spoke
with contempt Of the present system of govern
ing the island as bastard, sem-constitu.
tonal and senli-coercive methodn This was
unfair. The very vehemence with which Mr..
Balfour has been attacked by his Irish op-
ponents proves that he has succeeded uncom-
monty well in rendering the Grimes Act effect
i've. The Irish Secretary has displayed great
capacity in office, has restored the authority of
the Grown, and fought the League with tenacity
OF purpose and resolute courage. His polioy
may have been radically wrong, but that is n
matter for which the Unionist party is respon-
sible. He has made the best possible use as a
coercionist Of the extraordinary powers con-
ferred upon him by Parliament. No other Con-
sentative leader would have been equally enc
oessful in that Office In carrying out the game
policy. His ultimate failure will be another
demonstration Of the necessity for Home Rule.
Mr.. Forster and Lord Spencer among the
ablest Liberal statesmen OF their day, tried
coercion and failed. Mr.. Balfour in his turn
has had the chance Of succeeding with the
Crimes Act II success were possible. II he
fails, no other Conservative leader can reason.

sroMAcH EMANCIPATIoM

Ono of the notable tendencies Of the age Is
tho effort TO relieve almost every part OF the
human organism Of the strain heretofore put
upon it. Up to this time the legs have had the
best of it. The man who said, when he saw
pneumatic tube in operation for the first time,
that legs were TO be abolished, put the case o
little too strongly; but, in fact, with the de-
velopment of machinery Of all kinds for loco
motion and transmission, those useful members
might be in danger Of falling into condition
Of innOcuous desuetude, II 1t were not for tho
popularity Of the poetic drama. In like man.
ner, it is sought to spare the hands, and the
devices for lessening the demands upon the
head are countless. All roads to learning now
must be royal. knowledge must be admins
tered in capsules, guaranteed to be pleasant to
take, and every language must be made easy
in six lessons. And now the stomach, that
central and most influential organ is to have
chance to loaf, while it's work is done outside
the body. This movement Is worthy Of hearty
Endorsement. We know Of no organ better en-
titled to a vacation than the stomach. IL is
usually oveTworked through most OF tlo TWEEN
ty-four hours, it never gets day off, and never
has chance to go sightseeing. II this ten
dency is consistently developed, we may hope
in time to reach on this earth that condition Of
nirvana, or absolute repose Of body and mind,
which is supposed to be the inheritance, in this
part Of the world at least, of tie Theosophists
alone, and then only when they have risen to
higher things from the stepping-stones of
Eighth avenue.
But to return to this effort to emancipate
the stomach. A food company has been formed
in this city, the object OF which is, as set forth
In its circulars, to :" elevate and refine the
dietary Of civilized man, This Is to be done
by performing for him still larger part than
now Of the function of digestion before food
IL taken into the body. Cooking is only pre-
iminary part Of the process of digestion 1t
is now proposed TO go further, and produce upon
certain foods before they go into the stomach
the same effect that would be produced by the
digestive agents This can be done by means
Of various processes, thus enabling the com
pany to come 10 the relief Of persons Of en-
feebled powers and persons having but little
time and energy to devote to tho digestion
and assimilation of food. This will evidently
cover both the cases of hurried business men.
who I'll their stomachs and then carelessly 90
off and leave them, and Of another class, still
more deserving Of censure, who, after eating a
good dinner, are simply too lazy to digest IL,

or to quote the company's own words, have not
the "energyr to look after that little detail.
II ia reassuring to know that the products OF
this company all bear the distinguishing mark
F. F. V. This brand elevates and dignites
almost any person or object to which it may be
applied but when placed upon the muffin IL
transfgures and glorifes it. It is not surpris-
ing, then, to be told that while, as we all
know, the ordinary muffin of North America
may look as il it would make decided I'M

peace of many household, but the +. T. "
mullins are SO delightful and so satisfying
that they soon become almost necessity" Inc
ordinary muffin might often be classed under
assault and battery" if not conspiracy with
intent to commit murder" but the +. +. V.
mullins maintain well the vital energies"
Then there are the +. F. V. griddle cakes. Ii
appears that there is popular prejudice
against all kinds of hot breads" There has
been widespread impression that the prejudice
was the other way, especially among these very
F. F. VS., who achieve variety in their cuisine
by having rather more hot bread, If possible,
for dinner than they had for breakfast, and
more for supper than they had for dinner.
But we live and learn. The popular prejudice
is against hot bread, and the F. F. V. griddle
cakes, a silent but warm and eloquent pro-
test against this unjust discrimination, are the
most digestible and nutritive, as well as the
most paatable food yet invented" The best
thing about these and all the other productions
is, that they are so carefully prepared that al
most nothing remains for the cook to do"
This is an admirable feature OF the new sys-
tenn. under which we shall be able to buy our
dinners done up in neat packages, already
cooked and digested and only needing to be
fled away. The mistake of the cook Of the
present day is that she persists in trying to
cook. When the happy time comes that she
shall have nothing whatever to do but to drink
and draw her wages, peace will reign upstairs
and Joy below.
