Charley; second dam Siss, by Young
Justin Morgan; third dam Lady Ningo,
by Green Mountain Black Hawk fourth
dam Old Ningo, by Kentucky Whip;
fifth dam Doll, by Hambletonian 10.
She has beautiful filly by Voter, and is
stinted to Steve Whipple.
A seal-brown mare with tan muzze
and TANKS is known as Tansy Blossom.
She is by Joaquin Joe, out of daughter
of Black Hawk Charley, and is heavy in
foal to Voter.
Daisy Vernon, by Tom Vernon (son of
Hamilton Chief and Lady Vernon), dam
by Whipple's Hambletonian, is the
mother of three by Steve Whipple-a
fine bay filly three years old, called
Daisy Whipple, the two-year-old bay
colt "Phi See", and a weanling colt, also
bay in color. She is a good-looking ran
gy mare, and is heavy in foal to Voter.
Flora Hill, the dam of Re Eta, Cad
die R., and of a two-year-old colt and a
weanling colt by Steve Whipple, is a
fine-looking chestnut mare with light
name and tail, by Chieftain, 72l, her

scope; third dam by Justin Morgan. She
is stinted to Voter.
The artist had nearly finished the
sketches of Voter and Steve Whipple
when we returned to the large stallion
barn, which is between the grain and tho
alfalfa fields. A little creek flows by il
and empties into the swift-fow
ing Calaveras river. The first stallion
led out for our inspection was Steve
Whipple, 1919. He was foaled in 1884
and is a beautiful brown in color with
star in forehead; in height he is fully
sixteen hands. The first glance at hin
will leave an impression on the mind o
the beholder that he is looking at har
dy, strong-limbed racehorse; a type o
horse that looks as if he was designed t
fight battles on the turf and to earn rec
ords in campaigns that would be hard t.

neat compressed lips, large nostrils, ac-

dams, about medium size, but in the
right position; his long, wel-shaped neck
is firmly set into splendid oblique Shout

very symmetrical; quarters heavy and

inside and out, as well as the forearm. is
remarkably strong; the muscles being
long, not punched. His knees and hooks
are straight, large, strong and bony; the
the cannon bones are short and the liga-
ments and tendOns prominent, making
the leg look broad and strong. The feet,
at rest, are perfectly straight. All these
transmits to his progeny without excep-
ton. In disposition he is kind as a lamb,
while at all times he is as courageous as
lion. When IN action the lofty style
of the Morgan blood predominates, and
the unstrained carriage of the head and
tail is noticeable. When trotting he is
what is called line trotter; he has thai

Following is the report Of Mr.. Turner of
Georgia from the ways and means CON-
mittee in favor of the bill to adj
init free of duty bagGing for cotton,
machinery for manufacturing bagging, cot
ton ties and cotton gins. The bill proposes
an act of tardy justice to those who
contribute the chief item of our
export trade. The right to resort to i'm
ported bagging and ties will, it is con-
fidently believed, protect farmers and
laborers engaged in the production Of cot
ton against corners and combinations
among those who, under the present
tariff control the supply of these
indispensable articles. The importation of
machinery used in the manufacture
Of bagging is proposed in this
bill for the benefit of American
bagging factories. They already
have their raw materials free. An addi-
tional reason is suggested by the
fact that if these very simpla
machines can be imported free, farmers
themselves can join in the production
of bagging They will thus have
in their own hands final defense
against trusts and monopolies. They are
still smarting from the oppression which
the very recent combination imposed of
raising the price of bagging nearly 100 per
cent.
The effect of the Mckinley rates upon
bagging and ties has not yet been fully de-
veloped The first effect has been to cut of
importations of these articles. The next
step will be an augmentation Of prices.
Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania is preparing
a report Of the Republican minority i'll OPP

BERLIN, Feb 29-In the reichstag to-day
Chancellor Won CaPrivi demanded there be
reinserted in the navy estimates
clause providing for the con-
struction of the cruisers and corvettes
eliminated by the committee which
considered the measures. The chancellor
declared the ships were necessary in order
10 make attacks upon the enemy's COM
meree in the event Of war. Germany
he declared had no intention of conducting
war with privateers. 1t would
be impossible to 90 without
cruisers. The Vulcan ship building
company Of Stettin, Chancellor Won Caprivi
added, had been promised an order TO build
the corvettes provided for in the eliminated
section. If the company did not receive
the contract it would be compelled to dis
charge large number Of workmen, already
there were 5000 destitute workingmen in
that city. The present year was
especially hard on tine working
men and the Prussian government
was arranging to commence work
in the SURROUNDING yards at an earlier
date than usual simply to give employment
to the workingmen unemployed.

EVERY town on the Texas coast that
has advertised itself as a deep-water
port and drawn suckers into unproft-
able real estate investments is trying
to belittle the statement that Velasco

deep water where deep water is not
and never will be, are welcome to their

they can say or have said will undo
THE FACT that Velasco is the ONLY

No Quorum Decision.

WASHINGTON, Feb 29.-The ''no quo
rum" case in which the legality OF the
Dingley worsted act was attacked by Balm,
Joseph & Co., importers, was to-day de-
cided by the United States su-
preme court. The Dingley act was
passed through action of Speaker
Reed in counting quorum when there was
quorum of members present but not vot-
ing The importers maintained that Speaker
Reeds action was in violation OF the con-
stitution and the act passed in this manner
was void. The United States circuit
court for the southern district of New
York decided against New York and in
favor of the importers. The court in the
decision by Justice Brewer held that the
mo quorum rule was valid and that the
house Of representatives had right to
make such rule.
The three cases in which importers
sought to contest the constitutiOnallty Of
the McKinly tariff act were today
decided by the United States
supreme court The title of these
three cases are Boyd, Sutton and
the United States, and Joel B. Erhardt,
collector of the port of New York,
and Marshall Field Sc Co. VS.. Clark,
collector of the port Of Chicago The grounds
on which they maintained the tariff was
unconstitutional were the tobacco
rebate section had been omitted in
its enrolment after passage by
congress and therefore that the bill signed
by the president was not the bill passed by
the legislative department of the govern
ment; that the reciprocity feature was q
transmission TO the executive of
the law making power and therefore
void violating the whole act, and that the
act was void because of the sugar bounty
provision The court affirmed the judg-
ments OF the New York and Illinois courts
of the United states in favor Of the consti-
tutionality of the act.

no power to make any law regulating rail
road rates between the United

tries. This decision ends the matter, as
far as knight and Kohier are concerned,

CHEAP DOLLARS AND CHEAP MEN.

CHEAP DOLLARS AND CHEAP MEN.
The New York Times admits that
people who have mortgages to pay off
would be benefited by silver coinage.
It seeks to neutralize this, of course,
with the assertion that the loss upon
their products would balance off the
gain, but that is not material. The
noteworthy point is the concession that
the debtor class would gain by silver
coinage. This is usually disputed by
the advocates Of the gold standard, but
occasionally the truth will crop out.
Jtwould seem to be plain enough that
two standards, broader currency ba-
sis, and a larger note issue, would,
relatively speaking, cheaper money
and enhance the value of labor and
its D roducts. This would mean "a dis
honest dollar. say some. They forget
that the dollar has been continually en-
HANGING in value, and that the man
who promised to pay a dollar five years
ago now finds himself indebted from
20 TO 10 per cent more because of the
difference in the purchasing power ola
dollar then and now.
Every man Of experience will agree
that the best times have been those in
which all articles of commerce were
high priced. That meant cheap
dollar and high labor. The condition
to when the gold standard, and the
contraction it makes possible, tend, is a
high priced dollar and a cheap man.
