The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1891-09-10

As result of his studies in Europe,
Chauncey NJ. Depew is more than ever
convinced of the wisdom of the Blaine
reciprocity policy, and he says that
England and Germany are ,grievously
apprehensive of its results. He says
that English manufacturers and mer-
chauts especially are alive to the fact
that the new policy upon which the
United States has entered so vigor-
ously means the loss to England of tie
markets of South and Central Amer
lea. Here Is Que striking statement
from newspaper interview with Mr..
Depew in London: ''The United
States has been paying $100, ,0O0, 900 a
year in cash to South America. Mark,
this money was paid through London.
We got raw material through London
and Germany and paid for it in cash.
Now we shall set the same amount Of
raw material or more, but by means Of
the reciprocity clause we shall be en-
abled to sell manufactured goods In
return. In other words, we shall pay
in kind. England and Germany will
lose what America gains"

The census has pricketl another big
balloon falsehood. 1t shows that there
are l., SOC, 600 familirs im the United
States, and Of these O,25O. 900 occupy
homes or farms that are free from
mortgage incumbrances. When we re-
member how many people went out IN
to the far west to build up homes under
enormous difficulties, and how many
negr0ts and poor whites there are in
the South who are struggling to be-
come independent land owners, it is u
surprising thing indeed that there are
less than one-f"urth of the homes and
farms of the country under mortgage.

Sunol Trots a Mile in 2:08 IA
at Stockton, Cal.

Sunol, Robert Bonner's wonderful mare,
trotted a mile in s:0sI on the kte-shaped
track at Stockton, Cal, beating her own
record of 2:l0 made week before and low
ering the worlds record of MaudS. of 2:0s%
by half second.
Marvin, her trainer, hesitated TO trot her
against the record on account of a strong
breeze which was blowing. The day was
warm, however, and otherwise favorable to
record breaking.
At o'clock Marvin jumped into the sulky
and gave the mare a warming up, driving
her five miles He finally nodded for the
word and the little mare was OF like flash.
A. runner was in waiting for her at the
half-mlIe pole and she came in with
very little urging. Six timPkeepers were IN
the stand, a double set having been en-
ployed, and very watch was the same. The
mare made the first quarter IN O:3lH, the
half in :O4, the three-quarters in 1877, and
the mile in 2:OSH.
SunoI finished strong, aud the korsemen
present pronounced her the gamesJ trotter
ever seen on a local track. When the time
was announced the crowd went almost crazy
with enthusiasm for the horse and her
driver, and followed them to the stable, Civ
ing both a veritable ovation all the way.
The quarters were trotted very unevenly,
as will be seen. the record being 0 :31 4, O:32I,
O:33, and O:31L. The middle quarters were
the slowest, both including part of the
semicircle of this peculiarly formed track.
Had she been able to trot these as fast as she
did the first and last quarters, when she was
going on dead straightline she would have
made the mile in 2:05.
Sunol was bred by Leland Stanford at the
Palo Alto farm in Santa Clara County.
California, thirty-two miles from San Fran
cisco. She was foaled April IA, 1885.
Her sire was Electioneer and her dam was
Waxana, by General Benton. Her grand
dam was Waxy. a thoroughbred.
1t is through her dam that she inherits
the thoroughbred blood, the potency of
which has ali along been championed by both
Mr. Stanford and Mr. Bonner, and illus
trated by successes OF Maud S.. the queen
who was, and Sunol the queen who is.
Sunops career has ever been indicative of
imperial greatness. AS a two-year-old she
made the then record of 2:l8, and as three
year-old reduced it to 2:103, which was the
worlds record for that age. Robert Bonner
was one of the first to appreciate her worth.
He paid 81, 900 for her.

General Howard's Report

Major-General Oliver o. Howard, COM
handing the Department of the East, de-
votes much space in his annual report to the
War Department at Washington to the dis
cussion of coast defences. He says
that at New York, San Francisco
and Boston new guns and mortars
are needed. Many fixed torpedoes
or submarine mines have, however, been
already constructed for use at these points.
General Howard calls special attention to the
necessity of having fortified points as basis
of proper defence of our national interests.
Increased pay for non-commissioned officers
is also recommended.
General Howard remarks that the regl-
mental promotion of first lieutenants is pro-
ducing greater and greater Irregularities
and as the lineal promotion Of second lieu
tenants give to them certainty and fairness
Of promotion, he recommends the extension
Of the system to the frsts. The new
motion are praised. Canteens he remarks,
have been an Improvement on the post
traders stores and useful, except when
placed too near the mems quarters. The
beneficial effect of the canteen at small posts
is doubtful. From consultation with Of
hcers in charge of these canteens, l am OF
the impression that the evil that the sale
of beer engenders in making it credltabie
for recruits to drunk, more than cOunterbal-
ances the restraining effect it exercises on
the habitual drinkers and confirmed drunk
ards The benefits of the system to large
%arrisons, however, are numerous. L de-
cidedlv recommend that no soldier be placed
behind the bar to deal out drinks to his COM
rades. It is certainly demoralizing to have
a military subject acting as barkeeper."
