WE again feel called upon to rebuke
the Minneapolis Journal. 1t says:
1t is surprising that President Harrison
permits his son Russell to go about the
country posing as the mouthpiece of the
White house and of Benjamin Harrison in
particular. The presidents silence on the
point of RusselI's continual announcements
leads the public to suppose that Russell is
really the accredited organ of his father. If
he isn't. his father ought to shut hin up. 1t
is certainly extraordinary that a president
should permit his son to proclaim his in
tentions as to the presidency for the press.
Grants sons were never allowed such lati-
tude. Russell is a talking machine which
like Friar Bacon's brazen head, keeps its
tongue going so freely that it ought to be
smashed as Bacon smashed his rafting
brazen head.
We submit that it is unfair to pluck
the fruit from the family tree before it
is ripe.

THE AMERICAN TRoTrER.

We suppose it may be asserted with
out fear of contradiction that the light
harness horse of this country leads the
equine talent of the world. The nations
of the old world have devoted a wonder
full amount OF attention to careful breed
ing, and it would be idle to attempt to
deny the obligations we rest under in
this respect. But t%rotting is the Amer
lean racing sport par excellence, and
with u usual vim and enterprise We
stand at the head of the list. American
enthusiasts have studied the trotting
horse with as much care as was ever de-
voted to the appearing of an empire, and
they have every right to be proud of the
result of their labors.
Nowadays we are looking for the two
minute horse, but in 1906 all New Eng
land was Dragging Of the great horse
Yankee, who had trotted a mile at Old
Harlem village track in $50. There
were, however, doubts about the meas
urement of the course, and the doubters
said their say till the next decade, when
ostol iIoioo dlh IbOSuOu due DouH &C
complished the feat without IA shadow
of suspicion. Between 1920 and 1890
numerous champions passed into the
coveted class, but even then perform
ances, meritorious though they we're,
were cast into the shade by the gallant
black gelding, Edwin Forrest, who trot,
ted under saddle in 2:3ll9 in 1884. The
year 1889 saw the pioneer Of the famous
2:3o class, when the PAGER Drover die
the mile in 2:25. But if pacing is to be
read out of the lists, the real honor Of
reducing the record below go falls IL
Lady Suffolk, of the famous Messenge,
strain, both by sire and dam. The fast
est mile the grey mare e@er did was I'm
der saddle in 2:26; but over Beacon
course, Hoboken, New Jersey, she drew
a sulky under the wire Ia the fast tim,
of 2:2915. The feat was ACCOMPLISH,
on Oct. l3, 1s45, nearly forty-six year
ago, and marks the first mile trotted il
harness under 2:30. Since that time
study and care have worked such won
ders that up to the close of last year n
less than 4,Gl3 performers had rivale
the time of Lady Suffolk. Indeed, W
have come to think comparatively littl
Of a 2:30 gait, except in the case c
youngsters. Last season the bay col
Freedom, a yearllng and bred in Cal
fornia, placed the record for his age a
2:29A.
The PAGER has always gone ahead {
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-06-05

tho trotter in speed and behind in popu-
lar estimation. Everybody Is familiar
with the mile trotted by Maud s. il
o:0sa4l, but there are fewer who remem'
Der that IN 1884, at the West Side track
Chicago, the PAGER Johnston, q bay
gelding, bred in Wisconsin, accomplished
the record time OF 2:o69h4, In this in
stance history was only repeating itself.
| Even before 1916, when Lady Suffolk
did her best mile, James Il. Polk, a
chestnut gelding, had paced the dis
lance in DOT. Eighteen hundred and
fif~ty-nine saw Flora Temple trot in
2:19aall, but before that year two PAGERS
had entered the :.;2D list. The memory
Of one of these PAGERS will always DO
green in the memory OF the lovers OF
the horse. Pocahontas, the famous
chestnut mare, had a turn of speed that
has never perhaps been equalled in the
history of the turf. Even with the
handicap of a wagon she accomplished
the circular course on Long Island in
the great time of 2;141s. In 1867 Dex-
ter brought the record down to 2:l74,
and Billy Boyce brought it down an
other notch by pacing in 2:144. The
trotters we're again to the front seven
years later, when Goldsmith Maid
treated the Bostonians to a Ola exhibi-
ton. Rarus upheld the honors of his
class in 1879 or 1878 with a record Of
2:134. ST. Julien was another grand
performer of the same year, but the
PAGER was not to be denied, and the
blind PAGER Sleepy Tom eclipsed st.
Julien's performance by a quarter OF a
second that same season.
One very natural result of all this in
crease in speed has been the apprecia-
ton in market value of the trotter.
Given a notable performer, and there
would seem to be almost no limit to the
price he will fetch. One hundred and
five thousand dollars was the tall figure
paid for Axtell at the close of his three
year-old performances, when he had
lowered the record of the stallion class
to 2:l2. And yet Axtell is worth, annu-
ally, at least $4,000 to his owners for
stud purposes. Nelson, who holds the
record Of his sex at 2:104, was quoted
at s15O,OO0 after he had accomplished
his fastest mile. California has three
sires. all worth over 100000 in open
market. William Corbitt, of San Mateo,
refused to part with Guy Wilkes for
s12O,oOo. Even Axtell's purchase price.
big though it was, could not buy to-day
either Sable Wilkes or Stamboul from
their proud possessors. With such a
trio of sires, California is bound, at no
distant date, to occupy q proud position
in the world of sport.

The preachers of Minneapolis seem to
be we'll equipped for dealing with Inger-
soil along his own lines. The Rev. w.
J.. Lamon is quoted by the Journal as
saying:
We like Mr.. Ingersoll. He is a theological
scavenger and carts away for US a vast deal
Of old refuse. He rakes together the cast
of rags and well-picked bones Of a half
barbarous age in which real christianity
struggled for its life. The colonel whistles
so merrily as he drives about in Tom
Paine's old creaky cart that We rather en-
Joy the music. 10 be sure, he pliers a
jewel now and then, but we must expect
that of s~cavengers. His sense Of smell is
marvelously keen. He scents religious cor
ruption q long way off, especially when he
is financially in the lee of it. Only follow
him at 80 cents per head and you are sure
to find some ecclesiastical dead thing. In
this respect he is a genuine king buzzard.
And the Rev. G. L. Morrill, gives the
pagan this shot:
Who does not feel the pathos of the scene
when this infidel was interested in his at
tempt to prove there was no hell by a
poor drunken wretch who rose up and said,
'Bob, make it strong; there's lots of us fell
lers d%ependin' on you"

REPLY TO FAIR PLAY.

Justice Says the Dry Goods Houses We're
Not Forced to Close.
To The INDEPENDENT: In reference to
the card in The INDEPENDENT recently,
signed ''Fair Play" 1 wish to make a few
remarks as ar impartial observer. The
statement made by Fair Play that a
number of dry goods houses we're forced to
close their doors at six O'Clock p. m. by the
Trades and Labor assembly shows that he
is entirely ignorant of the facts, or that he
as follows: The merchants submitted a
proposition, to which all had agreed with
one exception. to the Trades and Labor as
sembly, to close at six p. m. all the
year with the exception of the months of
0ntob beb.,t N of tbs aiadman Reoem nn;aa
the Trades and Labor assembly
accepted that proposition and all the mer-
chants expressed their Willingness to close
as agreed by the majority. Communica-
tions were sent by the different firms to the
Trades and Labor assembly expressing
the efforts made to adjust the matter fairly
towards all.
The merchants referred to in the card
from Fair Play show a liberal spirit
towards their employees, but there are
some men in every walk of life who
are too selfish to act literally with
their fellow men, without some COM
%pulsion, and merchants are no exception to
the rule, bnt Ill this case all the merchants
expressed themselves as perfectly satisfied
to close as agreed. Now, in regard to the
time. The merchants actually loose little,
if any, rs their employees get to work at
seven O'Clock. take only forty-five. minutes
for lunch, and seldom get away before $50
p. M. And as far az / know every one
directly interested is satisfied,
JUSTICE.

A CONVENTION FOR HELENA.

The National Educational association,
composed of the school teachers of the
United States, will meet this year IN
Toronto, on July Ii. From present in
dications 10000 teachers will attend the
sessions. Last year 1900 attended the
Minneapolis meeting, and in the pre-
vious years since the association was Or
ganized the number at the annual gath
erings have varied from 1900 to 10000.
The association has held twenty nine
meetings, as follows: Two at Philadel-
phia, 1857, 1879; n at Cincinnati, 1858;
Washington, 1859; Buffalo, 1860; Chi
cago, 1868; Ogdensburg, 1864; Harris
burg, 1866; Indianapolis, 1866; Nashville,
1865; Trenton, 1863. Cleveland, 1870; ST.
Louis, 1871; Boston, 1872; Elmira, 1878;
Detroit, 1874; Minneapolis, 1915; Balti-
more, 1876; Louisville, 1877; Chatauqua,
1880; Atlanta, 1881; three at Saratoga,
1882, 1882, 1855; Madison, 1884; Topeka,
1886; Chicago, 1887: San Francisco, 1888;
Nashville, 1889; Minneapolis, 1890.
Now to get down to business! The
association should be invited to
meet in Helena in 1892. 1t
has been north. 1t has been
south. 1t has been east. 1t has been
to the central west. It should come
next to the heart of the northwest.
These educators of the rising genera
ton should be cosmopolites, free from
provinclalism, and people thoroughly
uersed in a knowledge of their " coun-
try.
Give them a trip to the heart of
Natures wonderland. Make the object
i've point of next years meeting the
great National Park. Make Helena the
place for holding the convention and let
the visitors, when their work is done,
radiate out from here to the points of
interest in every direction-to the Nat
aims, to the Great Falls Of the Missouri,
to Butte and it's wonderful mines, to
Salt Lake or the south and Alaska on
the north. Let them hunt, and fish,
and camp out, and breathe IN health and
strength and vigor in the most glorious
summer climate on earth. There is no
Other land like it under the sum-, and we
can promise in advance to send the Wis
itors back home younger, fresher, better
equipped for their duties, than from any
vacation IN their lives.
We can take care Of all who come.
Our people will open their homes to
them and special quarters will be pro-
vided in tents and public buildings. We
have more accommodations for a multi
tude than Topeka, or Madison, OF Tren-
ton, or Elmira, and all these cities have
successfully entertained the association
Let Il citizens organize and move in
this matter at once. A delegate should
go to Toronto with our offer. No other
city can offer such Inducements.
Hurrah for the National Park meeting

NEw YoRK, June A.-The Commercial ADJ
vertiser's correspondent al washington
tells the following: Rumors OF an inten-
tion on the part OF Mr.. Blaine to retire
from tho cabinet are being actively circu~
lated, but tho Org Of wolf has been heard %
often that very little credence is given II
now, although it may be- serious. some
say he will be- forced to retire on account Of
i'll health, while others assert. with q wink,
that his recent attack OF sickness Will
merely furnish him an excuse which he has
been seeking to shake loose from the ad-
ministratiOn.
Blaine has brought Harrison to terms
before by having q. report. started That he
intended to leave the cabinet. There 10 no
doubt that his position ia rendered nm
comfortable BY Harrison's constant auapi-
cion of him and the disposition to hold him
constantly in restraint.
Some Of Blaine's most confidential friends
have told me that he had ia exercise q deal
of self-controlt to get along with the presi-
dent at all, and that Harrison's Jealousy al
ways stood in the way of his most ambitious
plans. They have added, however. that he
would not allow himself to be crowded
from the cabinet If he could help it. AZ upon
his retaining his place depended his ability
to accomplish anything at all Of his do
signs. They have said that when it became
appdgoub tIlat ulh ToHupNVtOA 40 q nsovo0-
man might suffer by his remaining and TAX
ing the responsibility for a policy but half
carried out, he will retire.
There is no doubt about Blaine's candi-
dacy for the presidency unless his health
actually makes it impossible for him to run.
He positively promised some of his friends
and lifelong supporters that he would not
interfere with what they might do to secure
his nomination.
Thus far he has not withdrawn that
promise, and the action of men who are
secretly or openly opposing Harrison Is
based upon their faith in it. They refuse
to believe that Bleine's health, which has
boon a subject of discussion since 1876, is
SO bad as to interfere with their plans to
nominate him.
If he should retire from the cabinet, Civ
ing bad health as an excuse, it will be re-
garded as a move relative to his determin-
alton to seek the higher Office, and with his
recovery of robustness hie candidacy will
become open.
