THE SENATE MAJORITY.

The democrats will control the next
house by an overwhelming majority, the
republicans will have the senate and the
president. Therefore the responsibility fol-
all national legislation will be divided
between the two parties for the next two
years, at least. After that. if all signs do
not fail. the democrats will cut out the
senate republican majority, and with a
democratic president they will control
national legislation and the administra-
ton Of the government. Recent indica-
tons favor this view of the future politi-
cal situation. The people have become
tired and Disguised with republican rule
and will cheerfully hail any change with
the inward assurance that it cannot be
worse than the present state of affairs.
The republicans, however, predict that
owing to the large and somewhat I'M
wieldly democratic majority in the house
the party will make some blunder, some
bad break" that will destroy it's pros
poets at the general election. Their
banking upon such a contingency re-
minds n of the ever-present crank on
race tracks, who always bets against the
best horse, taking the chance of his fall
ing down and breaking his neck; thus
the ace and money to the slow
one. 1t is needless to say that demo
Gratis do not anticipate such a dire ca
for their party. They propose
not only to hold their own in the sue
ceeding house, but to capture the senate
also, SO that when a democratic president
is inaugurated March 4. 1893, they will
control both houses of congress.
The republicans have from six to
eight majority in the senate, the exact
majority being determined by the way

JULY 81. 1891.
RACE HORSES AND RACING.

If the only object in breeding thorough
breds and trotting stock was to affor,
sporting men an opportunity to win o
lose money on races, fair and racing as
sociations should disband. pillow up thei
tracks and grounds, SOW them to grains
or grasses and turn their attcn
ton to raising prize chickens and pigs
The aim of the true horseman, however
is a loftier one. The betting is an in
cident of the business. not the motive
which prompts him to enter it. The rea.
object, or il may be said. the ambition OF
the horse raiser is to produce Il better
animal than his ncighbor, or as nearly ;
perfect animal as can be produced
There is money in it. and that is what
the raiser is after.
To produce the superior horse there
are certain things to be observed. Mus.
Gle, strength. endurance. size. weight,
form. symmetry. soundness and speed
are among them. Crossing and recrOss-
ing of different strains of blood are fire.
q~ucntly necessary to produce "a fine ami
mai. This requires money, time, pa
thence, intelligence and close attention to
the business. Horses noted for phenom-
inal strength. endurance or speed are not
accidents. They are the output of Il
happy combination of the qualities of
dam and sire. And right here comes in
the uses of the race track. No breeder
would or could know whether he had
produced what he wanted unless he
made a test or comparison Of his horse
with some one else's. The race track gives
him the desired opportunity and the
fact that some one wins or loses money
on his horses speed, or endurance or
strength. should not operate to the preju-
dice of the breeder. As has been said
betting is merely an incident to the
business.
The TRIBUNE has taken occasion to
say that the altitude. climate, grasses,
soil and topography of Montana are so
happily combined as to make the state
the home of the horse. If he can be bred
to perfect points in any country in the
world that country is Montana. The
race track. however, is an essential factor
to success in breeding. 1t is, in fact, a
prime factor. 1t is there where compel
ing animals develop their strong points
or display their weak ones. Intelligent
breeders take advantage of the
knowledge thus gained and strive
to profit by it in the succeeding
generation of horses. 1t is by watching,
training and development the perfect
horse will be produced. The pasture and
the stable have their uses. but the track
is the test the arbiter of the horse. For
these reasons the race track has become
popular and should be patronized by
every man who takes an interest in the
horse industry in Montana.
Northern Montana. especially. should
feel vitally interested in well conducted
race tracks and racing. This portion of
the state is peculiarly adapted to horse
racing and the industry deserves every
encouragement at the hands of the peo-
pie. 1t will not be out of place to say in
this connection that the North Montana
Fair association has its fall meeting at
this city the 18th and 18th of next month.

Chill is not doing much during these

AN IMPORTANT PROPOSAL
A Total Suppression of All
Seal Catching in Bering
Sea
The Movement a Surprise to
Lessees Whose Ships are
Ready to Start
Instructions are in Preparation
For the Revenue Cut
ter Rush

NEW YORK, May 5-The Washington
correspondent of the Herald telegraphs
his paper as follows: 81 am informed that
Secretary Blaine's proposal for the total
suppression of seal catching within
Bering sea will be formally communicated
to Minister Pauncefote tomorrow, or by
Wednesday at the latest. Not the leastin-
teresting circumstance connected with
the new departure in our Bering sea
policy is the direct and active part played
In it by President Harrison, nOtwith-
standing his temporary absence from
Washington. | am assured it is due to
the presidents decisive judgment and in
structiOns that the British government is
now to be invited to join the United
States in stopping the further killing of
seals in the waters and on the islands of
Bering sea, upon terms equally fair to
both parties.
So little had the presidents course been
anticipated that the lessees of the Prybi-
lotf Islands had made all their arrange
ments for busy season. Their vessels
had been prOvisiOned and the working
force was all ready to start from San
francisco. Inc treasury agent VINO was
to supervise and tally their catch of seal
skins had been designated and ordered to
proceed from his eastern station to San
Francisco to take passage for the islands.
OTTAWA, May Minister Tupper has
denied the statement that the United
States government intimated that there
would be no interference on the part of
American cruisers with British Columbia
sealers in Bering sea this season. He also
said the Dominion government has given
no assurance to owners of sealers that
their vessels would not be molested, as no
such assurance had been asked for.

KITTY o'sHEA's DIVORCE
The Proceedings Are Likely to be
Annulled

LONDON, May Though no official
confirmation can be obtained, the story
that the Queens proctor is making in
quiries with view to intervene in the
O'Shea- Parnell divorce suit to prevent
the decree being made absolute is gener-
ally credited. 1t is stated that the in
formation supplied to the queens proctor
alleged that O'Shea suppressed material
facts. II this proved TO have been the
case the divorce proceedings will be
annuled and Parnell will be unable 20
marry Mrs. O'Shea. The belief is preva-
lent throughout that the least independ-
ent inquiry would upset O'Shea's case,
not by disproying the allegations against
his wife, but by showing negligence and
indi ference on his part which might
amount to cOllusOn.
1t is understood that the queens proc
tor has been forced to take cogniZance Of
the action Of Parnell's political oppo-
nents. They know that Parnell intends
to marry Mrs. O'Shea, which marriage
would rehabilitate In England and pre-
clude further allusiOns to a divorce suit.
Therefore, II the queens proctor is en-
abed to upset the decree,i it would damage
Parnell by preventing him from making
the only reparation in his power SOlicl-
tor General Clarke, q. c., who is the
queens pTOctOT's official superior, was
O'Shea's counsel and can very likely
stop the proceedings in O'Shea's Interest.

ESCAPED THE oALLows
Isaac Smith, the Date of Whose Execu

SPRINGFIELD, May 5-The commutation
Of the capital sentence OF Isaac Smith to
imprisonment for life In the Ohio state
penitentiary practically ends one OF the
most sensational casesIin criminal records,
Smith, who was convicted upon clrcum-
stantial evidence OF the murder Of his
cousin, Stephen Skdmore, in 1883, has
had the date OF his execution set for nine
different times, but upon the repre-
sentation that new evidence was In eX-
istence that would acquit the condemned
man the execution OF sentence was each
time susphnded by the executive.
The courts, however, did not upon either
occasion find sufficient grounds for grant
ing a new trial. Upon the approach Of
the date last set for the execution, March
20, Governor Campbell granted a respite
and sent a message TO the state legisla-
ture. which was then In session, suggest
ing the enactment of law applicable TO
such cases as Smiths, which would give
the courts wider discretion I'm granting
new trials. The legislature has not acted
upon the suggestion and at last the gov
