Crooked Horse Racing,

In the free for all race at Richford
last Wednesday there was, it is claim
ed by good judges, an exhibition of
the crookedest work in awarding the
race that has been seen on any course
for years. The horses entered were
Rockburn, st. Patrick and Rollie c.,
and it was plain at the outset that
the sports from over the line had ar
ranged that Rockburn, owned by Mr..
Knights of Bedford, p. O., should
win, and st. Patrick was stripped Of
weights and boots so that he could
not trot. The Canadians knew moth
ing about Rollie G.. and therefore,
when in the first heat he trotted sharp
and won in 2:34A, they were surpris-
ed and good deal disturbed, for
neither st. Patrick nor Rockburn
could head the little horse, notwith-
standing the fact that their drivers
let them run. In the second heat
Rollie c. trotted squarley until the
last quarter, when St. Patrick, after
havingrun by him four times, got the
little horse off his feet and then Rock
burn, who had been trailing, running
behind and trotting forward, forged
ahead and came in first by a neck.
One Of the judges was determined to
send st. Patrick to the barn for run
ming, but was over-ruled by his asso-
ciates, one of whom was a liquor
dealer from Montreal. The second
heat was, however, given to RollieC.,
but that ended the semblance of trot-
ting under association rules, as adj
vertised, for the succeeding three
heats and race were given to Rock
burn, despite the fact that he did not
trot a square quarter during the race,
as one of the judges declared The
same Judge states that, under the ma
tional rules, Rollie c. won every one
of the five heats and that after the
second heat, at least, neithe" of his
opponents had any right to be on the
track 1t was, as he claims, d dead
steal, as ROllie C. trotted squarely
while the other horses ran innumer-
able times in every mile, and to all
were made to run by
their drivers.-Messenge

Spain's Emphatic WARNING

Spain, once well wooded, has been
stripped of it's forests in the past ten
centuries, and the long, sloping noun
tain ranges of southern Spain stand
hard, bare and sun-baked. The val
levs are dry in summer, torrents in
winter, and change on the instant
from one condition to another. De-
strnctive floods are certain in such a
region, and those which have Just
swept through part of New Castle
have coursed down valleys whose
usual water supply is a trickling
stream. The terrible loss of life and
property ought to arouse public
opinion here to the necessity of pre-
serving our forests from the destruc-
ton which has overtaken those of
Spain, with results from which it suf-
fers and has suffered for centuries

ENFORCING THE LIQUOR LAWN
the county court at Rutland Wednes-
day, Sept. 80, there was a regular
land Office business transacted in the
matter of enforcing the prohibitory
law, and the violators of this statute
were forced to comeup and take their
legal medicine in allopathic doses de-
spite the many wry faces that were
made. Edward Bruten pleaded gull
ty to two first offences of keeping and
was fined $76 without cost; in addi-
ton he was fined $3.50 for Is first
offences of selling. John Caden plead
ed guilty to two second offences of
keeping, and one of selling, the fines
aggregating $3.50 and he will spend
36 days in the house of correction.
He also was fined 5000 for five first
offences. j. B. Cronion was fined
$210 for seven first offences of selling
and $40 for one first offence for
keeping. John O'Hare forfeited his
bail. The cases against A. c. Hinck-
ley were nolle prosecuted. The above
fines were all inflicted on pleas of gull
ty and the court did not in either case
assess costs against the respondents.
The liquor traffic evidently has some
discouraging features in Rutland.

The monthly public debt state
ment, issued last week by the treas
ury department, is a conclusive an
swer to the Democratic charges of Re-
publican financial mismanagement.
All obligations have been met on
time, and in addition there was a
reduction of more than three and
one-half millions in the public debt.
The cash in the treasury is largely in
excess of all liabilities. This salts
tetory condition has been MAIN
tanned in the face of reduction in
revenues of about $12, 100000, COM
pared with September, 1890. The
revenues have been reduced as
promised, all obligations have been
promptly met, and the treasury
holds a surplus large enough for all
needs. This is the Republican record
ut which the Democrats affect to
sneer.

A ROSTER OF VERMONT SOLDIERS. =
Gen. Peck of Burlington is sending
out this notice to veterans in the
ate:-"All Vermonters holding
commissions in the regular army and
navy, also in the United States, col
ored troops and regiments or bat
teries of other sta Jes, are requested
to send their names, rank, organiza-
lions, in which they served, with a
short sketch of their service to the
acknowledgements office at Montpel-
Ter, Vt, at their earliest opportunity,
in order that they may be included
in the new roster of Vermont in the
war of the rebellion, now being COM
piled" Much difficulty has thus far
been experienced in getting the
record of Vermonters now living out
side the state. The roster is now
being very carefully compiled.

Judge Connolly of Scranton, Pa,
proves that he is made of the right
sort of stuff On Friday last he
refused citizenship papers to a large
number of Hungarians, Poles and
Italians, because they understood
nothing about federal constitution.
He said:
ga man who puts his ballot into a
window as a machine, without know
ledge of what it contains, has no
right to the same consideration
given to an intelligent American
voter. To such men l shall never
grant the right of naturalization"
Would that all of our judges had
backbone of this sort. There would
be less cause for the cry of impure
politics.

Cherokee pastor who had been sup

the conference for a similar reason.
He had been warned that he must
cease buying, training and selling
fast horses or leave the ministry,
and he decided that he would follow
the latter course because he had too
much money invested in the horse
business to abandon it. The tran

How England Gould Take Chicago.

How England Could Take Chicago
In two weeks after a declaration OF
war, England could place 80 gun
boats on the lakes and more than 30
armored vessels in the harbOrs of our
leading cities, and could concentrate
$4,000 regular troops in Canada.
backed by a sturdy militia ready to
march across our border; while in
twice that part of her Asiatic squad
ron could sail through the Golden
Gate. Our lake frontier is a cobweb.
No land defences of such towns as
Chicago situated on the shore itself,
could save them from bombardment.
The best army could not protect
Chicago against a mediocre modern
fleet. The shipping and commerce of
the lakes is attractive. The goods
afoat and ashore suffice to pay a
huge war indemnity They are all at
the mercy ofan English fotilla. Some
people imagine that modern war has
been humanized out of such measures
as bombardment. But Paris was
bombarded in 1870; so was Stras-
burg. and its beautiful cathedral
spire was seriously injured. Warhas
no aesthetic maxims. The occupation
of a seaport leayes no alternative but
submission and the payment of a
heavy ransom-or bombardment. In
a town like Chicago this would befol-
lowed by fire, and we all remember
the 5000, lost in the fire of
1S71.-Col. Theodore A. Dodge in the
October Forum.

There is in Chicago a physician who
advances the somewhat novel theory
that a man cannot hear himself sing.
or rather that he hears partly with
his throat. As elaborated in the
Herald the gentleman's idea is that
=" the prevalence of throat deafness is
a proof to the laymen of the connec-
ton between the ears and throat,
and this inability to hear ones self
speak just as others hear us is an
other instance. In some people this
popularity is very marked, and in my
case if | speak in a photograph and
let the machine grind out the sounds
again, | don't recognize the voice at
all. In regard to singing, the vary
ing ability to hear ones self with the
ears plugged up with cotton makes
itself evident, for while the member of
a chorus will only hear the blended
harmony, or discord, another will
hear little beyond his or her own
voice, and make occasional breaks
in consequence. l know a man who
used to sing very fair baritone, but
whose voice is now only adapted to
the weakest falsetto. Yet he doesn't
realize the change, and | believe he
honestly thinks he sings as well as
ever. This apparent impossibility
may be dispensation of providence
to prevent men with exceptionally
ugly voices being driven to suicide"
