CHANDELIERS MANIFESTO.

Tom PLATT'S anti-civil service screed
has stirred to their very depths the SEN
Sitive emotions of that eminent civil
service reformer. BILL CHANDLER, who
rushes iuto print with defense of the
HARRISON administration. in. which he
naively seeks to placate the spoilsmen
of the PLATT type and at the same time
to convince the country that the HARRI
son administration is engaged in all
honest effort to enforce civil service re-
form principles. Mr.. CHANDLER is a
circus politician, who has gained great
prominence by his skill in riding two
horses at one time, but in this instance
he has made such signal failure that
he is not only the laughing stock of the
country, but has doubtless incurred the
ill-will of the administration which he
wished to serve. In his attempt to vim
dicate the administration, by clumsi-
ness that is unusual with this smart
politician. he has simply disclosed the
real intent and purpose of the
administration in its hypocritical
pretense to respect the civil service
laws. He says. in plain language, that
the president is looking forward to the
success of his course upon his party in
1892. and that if he is not making the
progress in the removal business that
the 'spoilsmen expect of him, his appar-
ent diIatoriness is simply due to his de-
sire to keep the public eye blinded to
his real motives. The spoilsmen are
given every assurance that the presi-
dent is with them at heart, and that, as
rapidly as the party's safety will Justify
it, he will turn the DemOc ratio rascals
out.
lfhe had only known it, Mr.. CHANDLER
need not have made this open confess
sion. Considering that none of the re-
movals that have yet been made have
been made to meet the needs of the
public service, which Mr.. HARRISON
has said ''alone should suggest. re-
movals," a blind man can see that the
president is not in sympathy with civil
service reform. And when it is further
more considered that no previous adj
ministratlon has so constantly and so
largely prostituted the civil service to
purely partisan and personal ends as
the HARRISON administration has done,
it did not need Mr.. CHANDLER's assur-
ance that the president was keeping the
welfare of the spoilsmen well in mind.

THE RRnNCHO.

The brOncho has taken rise In the
world. We do not refer to his peculiar
trait Of humping his back when i'll good
bucking humOr and of suddenly elevat-
ing his rider into the air. We mean to
say that he is risen from the low rank
in horse genealogy which he occupied
when he roamed his native plains in a
state of wild freedom. Since he has
been tanned and trained it has been dis
covered that he possesses the element
of toughness to a degree not possessed
by any of his kindred hOrsefiesh. The
Montana experiment of crossing the
broncho with the thoroughbred is prov
ing magnificent success, in that it has
produced "a practical horse" which
fills long-felt want in the animal
kingdom. Spokane's great feat i'll the
Derby race the other day is attracting
the attention of hOrsemen everywhere
to the NOrthwest's capacity for turning
out superior horses, and in connection
with this event an investigation has
been set on foot to determine the exact
uses and possibilities of the broncho.
So far all the developments are fiatter-
ing to the little animal, for it is already
assured that the union of the broncho
and the thoroughbred results in pro-
ducing the best and stoutest saddle
horses in the world. The grasses and
the climate which gave the broncho his
grit and power of endurance will inn
part the same qualities to the descend
ants of Lexington and Leamington n
when their blood is mingled with the
blood of the bronchO. The new indus
try of raising horses for the European
markets promises to be considerable
source Of national wealth; hence it be-
comes an important and encouraging
fact to the Northwest that an intermixt-
ure of the blool>of the broncho gives
the finishing touch to the American
horse

MAHOGANY.
A Wood Once Very Popular, But
Now Gone Out of Fashion.


Now Gone Out of Fashion.
"a few years ago." said New York
furniture dealer, nobody cared much
to bay bedsteads, sideboards, tables,
bookcases or sofas made of any other
wood than mahogany. Indeed, large
pieces of furniture of any of the lighter
woods were thought to make rather
vulgar display. The piano was the only
exc option to this rule. AT all times rose
wood was the most popular frame for
one of these instruments; but this was
not due to any notion that rosewood was
handsomer, but simply to the fact that
the great heavineSS and density of ma
hOgany stif1ed the music. Now black
walnut, cherry. ash, oak and every sort
of light wood that will take high pol
ish are seen in fashionable houses, but
of the heavy. old wine-colorea mahog
any rarely stick. l think it was the
musical necessity of using a lighter
wood in the manufacture of pianos that
furniture making. When people
changing their residences saw
the difficulty with which pi-
amos were carried to the vans. they
began to wonder how much power it
would cost to lift them if they were
made of mahogany. and this led to the
reflection that fully two-thirds of the
weight of the entire household furniture
might be knocked off if it were manu-
factured in lighter woods.
Then began the decadence of mahog-
any-decadeuce of its utility as furni-
ture wood, mean, for in its integral
parts it is almost everlasting. 1t
is undoubtedly the richest, hand
soonest, and NEST stately of all woods;
but its popularity has been crushed
beneath its own weight. A few con-
servative people in New York, and
many in England, still furnish their
houses with it: but such persons are not
afflicted with the migratory fever that
leads the average American family to
seek new home about once in two
years. Mahogany furniture. once placed
in position. seems to be nearly as inn
movable as when the dark wood was in
its native forests, and the restless, no
madic householder of to-day does not
care to be anchored to his dwelling"
