THERE is now in force at Paris a
Jaw prohibiting betting at horse races,
and the sports do not take to it very
kindly. The authorities determined
20 enforce the rule to the letter at the
races there last Sunday, and the eX-
tent of their determination might
seem as pointer to authorities in this
country. We are in the habit of doing
such things in half determined man
ner, but not so in the older countries.
At the French races on Sunday there
were six hundred police, two COM
panies Of infantry, and twenty
guards distributed about the grounds
TO see that there were no infractions
Of the new law. In an American city
q half dozen regular policemen with
about the same number of specials"
would be deemed sufficient That is
the difference between the manner Of
enforcing the laws in the two cOun-
tries.

A Professional Nurse.

One who is thoroughly competent,
who is neat, tidy and quiet, whose very
touch is medicine, who knows what to
do, and ,shen to do it, is blessing in

understand, knosc, and are able to use
the requirements, the, endorsement of
a medicine by such person should
carry weight. They have practical ex-
perience, and opportunities of seeing
and noting the affect better really
than the Physician in charge, as they
are with the patient day and night
and every change and symptom is not
ed and matched.

HARD To BEAT.

Messrs. Willard & Fuller.

stead of Jan. Both that you own Dago-
bert 5151 (2431) Now / own a colt
sired by Dagobert. 1t is a stallion
coming years old, black in color and
weighs 800 lbs. purchased him of
the Hancock Importing Company. He
stood at the head of their studs. They
have now son of Dagobert at the
head. DagObert must be superior

colts that call hard to beat. / would
like to have you send a description of
Dagobert, as it would be good to show
to my patrons and ifyou have any cuts
please send me one. II this is not ask
ing too much / will be obliged,
Ever Yours
d. G. SHOWERS.
The Hancock Importing Co. is firm
that is handling good many stations
and shows their esteem of Dagobert
by keeping sons of him at the head of
their studs. One of Dagobert's colts
weighs 1880 lbs, stands at the head
of 0. r. Thestler's studs of fifty head
at Chapman, Kansas. The second
prize two year old mare at American
Horse Show, Chicago, 1889, was one of
his colts and the fact that M. W. Dun
ham, VIM. Ellwood and L. Johnson
have imported seven of his colts in the
last two years with the above record
prove him to be one of greatest sireS
that has been imported.

AMONG the many illogical theories
being agitated by the refOrmer of to-
day which are void of all reason is the
income tax doctrine. In common par
lance, this proposition is to levy tax
on the regular income of each citizen
regardless of its source. 1t is unne-
,cessary to go into an elaborate eXposi-
TIOn of the effects of such system of
taxation to convince all men not
blinded by false enthusiasm that the
sncOme tax system would afford no re-
lief from present abuses, and would
create oppression upon class of peo-
Ele whom the present system does not
effect liz the least. The only valid OBJ
Section 10 the system now in vogue is
that it does not secure a just or ade-
quate listing of personal effects.
Those who feel SO inclined often can

The Discomfort OF the Farmer.
IThe Cenlurn.l

A philosophical view Of the subject. in all It's
bearings, Is by no means disheartening to
farmers. The depression from low prices
which intensified and brought to light the
extent and variety Of diseouragements realized,
is mainly over for the present. Generally the
farmer is prosperous, though he certainly fails
10 secure his full share in the rewards OF his
productive labor. He is entitled to fair con-
sideration in such remedial measures for his
protection as may be possible under our form
Of Government.
In analysis Of material coming before the
writer, there have been omitted, almost en-
tirey, the views Of many Of the most pro-
gresslye, cnterprising and Influential Of the
rural class presenting as the most serious
grievance the absence Of effort 20 find remedies
for existing ills in practical improvement in
farm management, in cooperation TO control
the distribution of their products. Regrets
have been expressed that the personal equation
in this problem Of rural reform has been omit
ted. Two quotations will indicate the views
presented, both from the Southern States, one
west Of the Mississippi, as follows:
A somewhat extended experience I'm practical
agriculture of the State and good opportunities for
observation lead me to assert that farming, IN
dusiriously and iutelligently followed, offers IA
good inducements for the capital, labor and skill
expended as does any other calling in the Stale.
The other from the Atlantic Coast:
No real practical efforts are made for relief All
the complaints made aud all remedies proposed
are political. Many Of the former absurd and
most OF the latter will prove futile. We need
smaller farms. more work. more knowledge and
less grumbiiIg. What be done on small tracts
highly feTtilized should be brought home To the
people. 80 that the inexperienced may initiate
even before they know the reason why.
The farmers Of the United States live under
better conditions for progress in their art-a
high standard of living, advance in personal
culture and soil Improvement, aud pecuniary
independence than those OF any Other coun-
try. Aspirations for higher Improvement
equitable sharing in tho results of productive
labor, and a full exercise OF the rights OF citi-
zenship have been aroused. With wisdom in
action for political recognition. for advance in
economic education, for cooperation and self
help and for the increase Of practical skill and
pecuniary profit, the result Of this crusade will
be highly beneficial to the farmers of the United
States.

A wntehman Gagged and Bound By Robbers.

Chile and tho ChiIeups.

The Spanish civilization Of Chile is an of
spring Of that Of Peru. After the Spanish ad-
venturcr PiZlrro and bis followers had estab-
lished Spanish authority in Peru. and had
begun the mingling Of tho Spanish with the
native Indian races for the formation Of the
Spani5h-American race Of the future, the
masters Of Peru began to look southwark to
the long and narrow strip that is now Chile.
Before the Spaniard came to Peru Chile had
owed a nominal allegiance TO the native Incas
Of Peru; but this allegiance was so slight
that in the first half Of the 18th century
the Spaniards Of Peru we're forced to war in
order TO extend their sway southwark. Some
Of the southern tribes submitted readily, but
at least two, the Purumancians and the Arauca-
mans, wsged most desperate warfare in defense
valOr Of these native tribes may be inferred
from the fact that while the conflicts of the
Spaniards with them began in tho middle Of
the 18th century, they were not entirely over
in 1869. OF the latter part Of the 10Th century,
Some Of tho earlier wars were disastrous to
the SpaHiards. who were forced more than
once to fall back upon Peru for rest and rein
fOreement.
IL seems not at all improbable that the fierce
ness and martial ardOr Of the Chileans Of to-day
may be due quite as much 10 the admixturc OF
fierce native blood as to the qualities inherited
from the Spanish adventures who landed in
Peru with PiZarrO and after his conquest had
been made. The Spaniards governed the c0un-
try until 1910. Then began the revolution
which eliminated finally in Independence. But

dead Senator's career. showing how step by
step he had climbed the ladder Of fame. His
brilliant Senatorial record was discussed and
his untiring energy FecOunted. Incidents of
Senator Piunb's attention to small things and
promptness Of action were cited to show the
secret of success. No man loved his home
more than Mr.. Plumb. Though he constantly
tended TO SO large circle Of intense and divine
interests there was a center in his life where
his interest and warmest affection dwelt.

The CANADIAN CabIns, scandal.

Excitement still reigns in Montreal, Canada,
over the dismissal Of the Cabinet by Lieut.-G Gov.
Augers On the report of Judges Jetty. Baby and
Davidson. These Judges forming a royal COM
mission, have been investigating charges that
Mercier and his Government had received
100000 from Contractor Armstrong for the
sale Of the Bales des Chaleurs Railway. This
amount was said to have been divided between
the Members Of the Cabinet. The commission
found that tho most shameful condition Of
affairs had existed. In tracing up deficit Of
over S2000,000 it was discovered that for the
past four years Phillip Yallieres, who indorsed
Editor Paeand's and Minister MeTeier's notes
in the Baies des ChaleuTs scandal, had private
contract with the Government, by the terms of
which he furnished all the public buildings in
the province with everything in the way Of
furniture, but no price was stipulated-no
limit made. OF this he took great advantage.
However, the people are not on the side Of
