breeds have been kept separate in England
Is due to the fact that the raising of horses
has largely been in the hands of great land
owners or capitalists, and the farmers who
raised horses had their intelligence as well
as their stud to profit by; whereas in Amer
lea, until OF recent years, breeding of all but
thoroughbreds was, with few exceptions, an
entirely random affair. A farmer had
stanch mare. The only available stallion
was in the neighborng village-perhaps en-
circuit. All he could see was that there
were good qualities present in both, and he
believed that these would be transmitted.
Race was never dreamed of. Often the
mare was not bred from until she was un-
fitted for work by something which equally
untitled her for breeding. No doubt the
average produce of this lack of method may
have been of excellent service in way.

WARRINGTON, Dec. 27.-TwO years ago
Senator Frye prophesied that time would
show that the Panama canal scheme was
corrupt. and that within year or two light
would be thrown upon II and that the tate
of the republic would tremble under the
shock. That condition exists to-day. There
has been some talk to the effect that the
Panama and Nicaragua canal schemes are
parallel, aud that the disaster that mas over
taken the French people will cause public
men in this country to hesitate in giving
their votes to sanction the guarantee OF the
Nicaragua bonds for fear that a scandal
might resnft.
Mr. Frye sees no danger Of this kind. and
is emphatic In his declaration 10 that effect.
Said he: "There is very good reason to
p advance why this Government should exer-
else supervision over the Nicaragua canal
and control all that is done there, and there
is no reason why any legislator should be
afraid to cast his ballot for bill which has
this end in view. l believe this measure
will pass the Senate. but, of course. such a
prediction cannot be made as to the House.
1t can hardly be supposed that the bill will

most Objectionable character. In fact, they
pay the price which furnished them with the
means to make trip to the ContiIen: or 10

greater owing to the fact that there are
sentinels on duty at all these palaces and
that guardsmen were thus forced to patrol

would never even have permitted TO pre-

AMERICAN HORSES.
Superior in Temper, Endurance and
DociIity to Those Raised i'm England.


Probably more and better horses are
owned in America per 1000 of population
than In any other country. and the farmer
or corner groceryman, at least in the North
and West, can and does afford to keep as
good roadster as the city nabob-often a
better one. While the average horse lacks
the distinctive characteristics of race, lie has
exceptionally good qualities. American
horses are, as a rule, sure-footed. There are
more broken-kneed nags in cabs and liyery-
stables in England feur-fold than lfere.
Smooth roads and level meadows uniformly
breed horses less careful how they
tread than rough roads and story
pastures. The Eastern granite soil pro-
duces safer steppers than the clay
of the South. Our horses are Of even dis

ers' Association met in Fresno this evening
The convention was called 10 order by the
president, Hugh j. Baldwin, of National
City. He made speech outlining the work
of the convention and suggested necessary
changes in the school law. He spoke in
favor of having the system of teachers cer-
tfcates made uniform throughout the coun-
try. so that teachers who have received GER
tifcates in one State may receive one In any
other without having to 60 through another
examination. This is a matter for the ma
tional association to consider and the
speaker recommended it to be called to its
attention.
George f. Church made an address of
welcome to the teachers. and J. W. Ander-
son, State Superintendent of Schools, re-
sponded A brief reception followed. after
which the convention adjourned till to-
morrow morning. Several hundred teachers
are in the city. The local teachers have
made every arrangement to entertain the
visitors satisfactorily. Many important
matters will come before the convention for
discussion, and amendments to the school
law will be considered. Both the Stanford
and State universities are represented here
