BLUE GRASS HORSES.

Down IN Kentucky they use the word
blue grass in two ways-as an adjective
and as noun. AS an adjective it is a
synonym for mighty fine" and they
can pay no higher compliment to a
woman than to call her blue grass
belle, nor to the output of local distill-
cry than to affectionately refer to it as
blue grass whisky.
AS noun blue grass is the popular
name of the poa pratensis. Most of the
year this is misnomer. because it
seems like the greenest thing Oh earth.
But in the towering season of the
spring it takes on a blush tinge, and
somebody some time fixed this passing
color as its description. The blue grass
grows OH the richest land in succulent
lunches. No summer is hot enough to
ShrIyel it, and in winter it is as edible
aud n0urishing as ever. When the
snow falls the stock paw it away with
their hoofs or snuff it away with their
nostrils, and there is their food ready
Tor them to MUNICH. 1t is the basis of
Kentucky's wealth, and it makes the
latest cattle, the finest sheep and the
fastest horses i'll the world. Nancy
Hanks is blue grass mare.
The trot is an artificial gait. Speed
an unframed Or low-blooded horse, and
he breaks at once into canter. The
high-bred horse which, when pressed to
do his best, continues to trot, and the
horse which trots at rapid pace, is an
animal of modern and of American
production. The first fast trotters were
Eastern horses. bred for the most part
in New York state. Flora Temple, who
in 1859 made mile IN 2:2l15, was bred
in New York. So were Dexter, who in
1867 made mile III 2:174, and Gold
smith Maid, who in 1874 reduced the
record to 2:14.
All these horses had to be taught to
trot fast, and their training was long
and expensive process. They gave
promise when they were colts, but they
were ten years old or more when they
showed their best power. This develop
ment gave trotting meetings great pop
ularity for a while. of which the dis
honest methods which grew up about
them have since largely robbed them. 1t
is much easier to fix trotting race than
running race, and good deal of this
was done in the interest of the gamblers.
But while the excitement about this
style of sport was at its height, Ken-
lucky went into the business and revo-

CONCERNING DEMOCRATIC
WORKS.

And do you quite understand what
the Democracy is about? 1t is aSsail-
ing your particular enemies, waging
your peculiar battle. 1t is a vigilante
committee, hot on the trail of the plum
derers of your loft and stable. Is Repub-
lican protection fraud? 1t must be,
for the Omaha platform solemnly affirms
that wealth belongs TO him who creates
it, and every dollar taken from indus
try without an equivalent in return is
robbery" There is no better tariff-re-
form doctrine than this. Then who is
the victim? Who is compelled more
often than any one else both to buy and
sell atanother's price ? We used to have
to demonstrate this to you. One Nc
KINLEY has saved us all that effort
for all the future. He insulted your in
telligence. You ans wered with blow.
Now you know that you are slaves.
You have felt the irons. You have heard
the driver bawl his order and have felt
the lash's sting. You also know this
that the Democracy is engaged in des-
perate grapple with your master-a
struggle for your freedom. You have
seen it lay down power and honor,
willing sacrifices to the cause of right.
1t is in earnest. You knowit. Trust it
accordingly. No one in all America
should find it so easy, should be so eager
to vote the Democratic ticket. The
Democracy is for you. You should be
for it.

ADMIRABLE QUARANTINE

so far our quarantine regulations
have worked admirably against the
cholera. There is cause for reinsurance
rather than increased alarm in the stu
alton at New York. The dread tidings
that the contagion has reached our
gates is more than Offset by the prompt
ness and efficiency with which it is
turned back from those gates by the
state and federal officials at New York.
In quarantine the infected ships are no
more menace to this country than If
they were hundreds of leagues out i'm
the broad Atlantic-not as much so. in
fact; since in their present location all
other craft will give them wide berth.
1t is cruel necessity which shuts off
the crew and passengers of the infected
vessels from the rest of the world and
leaves them to fight it out alone with
the fearful peStilence, but the inexor-
able law of the greatest good to the
greatest number demands it. What are n
few shiploads of humankind compared
with the full graveyards which would
result from the unrestricted entrance OF

OUR COUNTRY KOADS.

The breeding of trotting horses for
speed has grown to be great industry
in Kentucky. but the effect has not been
an altogether profitable one for its
farmers. In the old days trotters were
raised there primarily for style and size
and only incidentally for speed. If a
horse turned out to be fast under these
circumstances he brought fortune to
his owner, but if be did not, he was
none the less marketable at good
figure as coach horse. The struggle
for speed has reduced the size of the
stock and made them too fine and deli
cate. Great numbers of them now, if
they fail to reach the racing standard,
are as hard to dispose of as a "mistake''
on thoroughbred farm. They are of
use only for buggy purposes. and the de-
mand here is not large enough to bring
anything like an adequate return to
those who have them on their hands.
On the country at large, however,
Kentucky's entrance into this field has
been of incalculable value. Such a
performance as was given yesterday at
our State Fair is stimulating in the high
est degree to our own farmers who wit
messed it, and it has similar effect
wherever else it has been presented. 1t
has called general attention to the pos
sibilities of achievement in such direc-
tons, and has raised the ideal of the
average man about the noblest OF the
lower animals.
Minnesota is not fitted to ever become
a formidable competitor of Kentucky in
the raising of fine stock. Our long and
severe winters make it necessary to
provide food and shelter for our herds,

NANCY HANKS.

Kentucky's speedy trotterS are all kin
of the New York horses which made d
name for themselves in the early history
of the sport. In fact, all the great
trotters of the country are of HANDLE
tonian blood and offspring of COM
mon ancestor. But the air, the water
and the blue grass Of Kentucky made a
change in the race. They produced a
generation Of horses which trotted
naturally, and whose instructive tend
ency, when urged with whip and voice,
was not to break but to keep on steadily
in a trot.
One result of these achievements was
to lower the age of the fast horses
which were In the circuit. Three-year-
olds soon appeared covering mile we'll
down in the twenties. In 1879 T'rinket,
four-year- old, bred near Frankfort,
made record of 2:19. In 1880 came st.
Julien and Maud S. ST. Julien was a
New Yorl, horse with long career Oh
the turf behind him. He was over ten
years old when he first displayed excep-
tional speed. and couple of years
| older when he made his great time of
2:114. Maud S, bred under the Ken
lucky system, was only half his age and
did almost as well. All the years of
| waiting were eliminated by its method.
and youngsters began to take possession
of the trottlng track, as they had long
| held the running courses.
Maud S was queen of the turf, with a
| record of 2:0Sal, until Sunol supplanted
| her i'll 1891 with half second better.
Sunol was bred in California, where the
| climatic conditions are very similar tC
those prevailing in Kentucky. Now
Kentucky is again at the front with
Nancy Hanks. In spite of Nancy's
2:054, however, it is still an open ques-
ton whether she has really made better
time than Maud S. Her bestrecord was
| on kite-shaped track. and experts say
! that this means difference of two
seconds in time. All her exhibitions
moreover, have been made in front OF
sulkies provided with ball bearings and
| pneumatic tires. These contriyances
| are estimated to have given her an adj
| vantage Of thee seconds on each occa
| sion. Unless the GLOBE is misinformed
| Sunol was assisted by these things also
! The friends of Maud S. therefore. dc
not admit that she has yet been beaten
| But this is not the feeling in st. Paul

| we believe that no horse i'll the WorC
