Millionaire Haggin's Horses.

It is seldom that j. B. Haggin, the cop
per king and owner of the Anaconda mines
and plant talks for publication, but Den
yer reporter succeeded in finding weak
spot about the usually reserved Californian
when he ventured the subject of horses.
Mr.. Haggin's enormous investments in
Montana draw him pretty closely to the
people of this state, who are Away inter-
terested in anything he undertakes and
whe wish him the success he deserves. He
is quoted as follows:
= began my turf career in 1885," said
Mr.. Haggin, when + asked him to give me
some account of his equine wonders. 1.-THE
first animal had who was of any account
was Tyrant, by imp. Great Tom, out of
Mariposa. His first great win was the
Belmont stakes, at Jerome Park. which he
Withers stakes at the same place. His next
big wins were at Monmouth Park, where he
proved the victor in the Stockton stakes
and the Hopeful stakes at Monmouth.
"Other good animals owned that spring
were Preciosa, Ben Ali and Hidalgo. as we'll
over a hundred horses in training, and I
suppose that my winnings that season
amounted to $136 600, but there was not
much profit, as my expenses and forfeit list
were more than made, and since then I

Mr.. Haggin's description of the life of
the yearlings is enough to make one wish
he was race-horse. After the youngsters
are weaned they are put in field which is
a mile in extent.
mo such grand sight is to be seen as
when the signal is given for the evening
meal, when fifty or sixty colts come tearing
along at the very top of their speed, each
one laying himself out and trying and
straining his utmost with the perfect
instinct of the true bred race-horse to get
the lead and keep it."

shore with New York City, seems to be
an assured fact. II il to I've undertaken

achievement of its kind in the world. Its
cost, including cost Of land and property
for the approaches, will be $40, 900, 900.
Including the approaches II will he five
miles long. The length of the bridge It.
self will he &c, 800 feet. The length OF
each land span is 500 feet, and the CEN
tire span will he $500 feet. The height
of the towers above high water mark
will he 500 feet. The number Of cables
will he 6,10O. The weight of iron In the
structure will he 10000 tons. There
will be six railroad tracks and room for
four more. The comparison between
this aud the Brooklyn bridge, with which
many are familiar, is greatly in favor Of
the North River bridge. The land spans
of the former are 93O feet long, and the
centre span 600, the height OF the tow.

the weight Of iron aud steel $50 tons.

AREMARKABLE SHOWING
THE TOBACCO BUSINESS is
ON THE BOOM.
How the 0ales Of This Year Com.
pared with ThOse OF other
Years-The Grade Con.
Stantly Improving.

Stantly Improving.
The Asheville tobacco market Is COM
ing to the front in decidedly agreeable
manner. During the month Of March
the sales amounted to 3S5. 400 pounds,
and it brought $57,62s.1s. Since Sep.
tember 3,69s,ss0 pounds have found
their way to the different warehouses
and they brought $3.50. .165.O9. Over
Il half million of dollars for the crop in
six months is the record Asheville has
made as tobacco market.
These figures show a hattering in
crease over the year of 1889, Then from
October to April the sales amounted to
3,2O7,97l pounds and brought 1894,
+03.O5. During March of that year
i93,T66 pounds were sold and the
amount paid was S+7,27s.lO.
In the latter figures more tobacco is
shown to have been sold during March
of 1889 than during the last month, but
the amount paid was smaller. This
shows that the farmers are learning to
produce superior grade and to handle
the product better and as consequence
to command better prices.
The average price paid for tobacco
this year was SSH per hundred and
this is the next highest average in ten
years.
During the winter of 1883 and 81 the
average was $19.03. Last year it was
$1O.1O.
Asheville is a great tobacco market.

WITH THE admitted ability OF the No .th

WITH THE admitted ability OF the No .th
State, we have had occasion to commend
not only its fairness, but its manly out
spoken independence. It is no slave OF
party, but has opinions of its own ex-
pressed boldly and strongly when occa-
sion demands. The North State desires
and works for its party success, but il
does not seek success at the sacrifice Of
right, fairness or sound party policy, and
tits lin support of this latter principle tina,
it protests against the determined uur-
pose of the majority in the senate to ad,
nit territories as States on the sole plea of
party xpediency. That admissions have
been made at the present session without
exact,ng the proper legal qualifications
from the applying territories is a fact s..
plain as admits of no justification except
the plea of party necessity, to add to the
already large majority in the Senate, and
also to secure additions to republican;
strength in the electoral colleges. There
is this comfort to the democrats; thai
while the protests and the arguments
they urge fall on unheeding ears. there
are forces at work, the result of the un-
wisdom of the republican party, that are
counteracting all the efforts they are
making; and while il is vainly striving
to strengthen itself by the addition OF
rotten boroughs, its older and most re.
liable strongholds are tottering and
crumbling, and their loss is not counter
balanced by the unlawful gains they are
making. Iowa. Wisconsin. Illinois, Rhode
Island, Indicate almost Enthusiastically the
strong, almost uncomfortable. tendency
of those States towards the democratic
ranks.
We know that what the North State SC
iorcibly and judiciously says will be un
needed. The senate is deaf to louder and
and stronger voices thundcrcd into its
ear in its own chamber. But what that
paper says is worthy to be repeated and
remembered as timely warning against
the excesses of its party friends. We
quote the following:
The republicans in congress should be
prudent at this critical time il they desire
to continue their partyinpower. Longer
control can only be maintained by de.
serving thcconfdence Of the people. They
cannot occupy this position by adopting
makeshiit legislation to keep supremacy.
The people cannot be fooled more than
once. They are conservative and slow oi
speech and action; but thcv seem to be
now moving on lines that lead towards
the overthrow OF the great monopolies
and putting n stop to the extraordinary
extravaganza that is cropping out at
Washington. They may establish mon
ster monopoly themselves, but that will
bring reverse OF present conditions, and
that is what they seek.

THE IcTIoS of Speaker Reed on the
question OF the admission OF the territory
OF Idaho as State will probably he re-
viewed by the supreme court OF the
United States. On the question being
put. the yeas were 100, nays I, the dem
ocrats not voting. But Mr.. Reed
counted quorum under his construc-
tion OF the rules; and the bill was de-
clared passed. The democrats propose
to make this a test case, and have the
supreme court OF the United States to
pronounce upon the constitutionalitv OF
the rules OF the house allowing the
speaker tn count quorum. Such re-
course is demanded to ascertain whether
the speaker is dictator or whether he is
the servant of the body over which he
prcsidcs. We can hardly doubt the
issue; for though the supreme court has
not always been inilexibly impartial, still
its freedom as II rule from partisan bias
is So well admitted that il is confidently
relied upon to perform those important
functions assigned il under the constitu.
tion, and to stand us the imprcgnablc
bulwark Of tue people against the wild.
ness or madness Of partisan legislation.
And to the honor Of the American people
be it said they abide submissivcly by the
decisions OF the court because they trust
in its wisdom and have faith in its pur.
ity. The only exception is in the recent
decision OF the court in the railroad
cases from some Northwestern States,
interposing between the railroads and
oppressive State legislation. arousiag
the anger of the representatives Of the
farmers who demand the suppression o'
the court as a tyrannical branch OF tn,
government. But every man in tn,
country, every man in the South, at al
events, should stand by the court; for
that tribunal plants itself upon n broad
constitutional declaration that property
shall not bc taken from the Owner
thereof except by due process Of law ant
departure from this principle was tn,
error or the wrong Of State legislation
and much other OF State right and satct,
is secured under the protecting egis o
the same declaration.
