ID. s. Warren made very creditable
exhibit of horses ON the street last
Saturday, and one which attracted a
great deal Of attention. Four sucking
colts OF his Hambletonian wilkes
family were shown, weighing 255O
pounds, two of which reached $40 and
7l0 respectively. These weights have
never been equaled, il is said, and the
colts have all taken either first or sec :
ond premiums. The Warren horse is
generally looked upon as the best an
imal around here and his colts are
wonders.
For some nights recently the NJ, X.

The report was sent from the Cherokee
Strip that the remnants of the Dalton
gang were moving over this way and
shortly after that a track walker was
relieved of his lantern one night near
Patton's switch; in addition, some Of
the engineers reported seeing several
men lurking about the road in that
vicinity. These combined circum-
stance led to the precaution stated.

The owners of land that are not users
of land for agricultural, manufacturing
or residential purposes, do not create
the value of land or city lots Those
men who simply hold land out of use
for speculative purposes are, as rule,
themselves idle and unprogressive.
They neither make improvements on
their land nor encourage any enter
prises. They take no share, neither do
they spend any money in furthering
public improvements. They simply set

Disadvantages of Dining Cars.

s.Vestibule trains and diners on
cross country lines are a delusion and d
purgatory," exclaimed the fat Montana
jurist when the irrigationist paused.
In the good old days you know, the air
of the hills was permitted to blow
through the coaches. Now the trains
are like tunnels without airshafts and
the puffs that come through the win
dows are unsatisfactory and cinder-
laden. The vestibule train is all very
nice in cold weather. but now it's out
of place. And the dining car. too, is a
step backward in long-distance rail-
reading. Why. We'll be in luck if we
get fifteen minutes to stretch our legs
at any stopping place between here
and the Pacific; and that, yOu know, is
not at all conducive to comfort or a
we'll regulated system. Yes, sir, the
old breakfast, dinner and supper sta
tons. with their rosy-cheeked, calicoed
attendants, steaming victuals and mo-
notony-breaking CHATTER, were good
things for travellers from purely ply

that you'll all agree with me before

your palates.' At the last station on

The Bishop and the Ball.

An English bishop returning from a
tour of the states occupied a large
double cabin with his wife, who was
querulous and exacting. One night
during a storm the lady complained of
close air and her spouse arose and
opened the portfolio, whereupon a big
wooden ball bobbed in and kept on
bobbing. The bishop knotted up its
string and hung it on the wall Of the
cabin: it bumped as the vessel rocked
and annoyed the lady further. So the
patient bishop let out the loops and
put the ball under his pillow, after
which peace and slumber. The next
day at dinner he recounted his adven-
lures of the night and bridled with in
tense delight at the roars of laughter
which greeted the story. The captain
recovered sufficiently to gasp: why,

BLAiNE'S ATTITUDE.
Suspicious Sounds from the Tomb of the
Plumed knight.

James G. Blaine means that there
shall be no misunderstanding of his
contempt for President Harrison. The
singular letter which he has caused to
be published discloses his sentiment
toward the president not merely by his
significant failure to mention the name
of Harrison and Reid: but also by the
time Of its appearance and its contents.
President Harrison's letter of ac-
ceptance has been published, in which
the president traversed the political
road from Dan to Beershe ba, covering
every conceivable issue in the cam
vass. as lie would have it made. In
curt letter Mr.. Blaine brushes all this
aside contemptuously and outlines the
campaign. as he would conduct it. on
three lines only. As Harrison con-
spicuously reduced to a minimum the
reciprocity feature of the new tariff
law, Blaine has magnified it out of all
proportion. He has gone further by
limiting at Harrison's opposition to
reciprocity when it was under consid-
Grafton and revealing the lines of
cleavage in the republican party.
In it's substance the letter is charac-
teristic of Blaine. It's conscious or I'M
conscious design is to teach the repub-
Ecan party the mistake it has made in
abandoning Blaine with his clear-cut
plan of campaign. and taking up small
man like Harrison with his clouded
notions of p1ingling issues to get votes.
The force bill is struck at by silence as
bitterly as is Harrison himself Mr..
Blaine puts himself at Harrison's side
at the first opportunity, and invites the
republican party to measure the two.
In form, the latter betrays the feeble
condition of its writer SO manifestly
that comment is unnecessary. The
sentences are not such as the Blaine of
ten years ago would have dictated.
The letter will have little effect upon
the canvass. Mr.. Blaine's star set at
Minneapolis never to rise again, and
many of his former followers have
turned to other leaders and will resent,
as President Harrison mus. in his heart,
this letter. as an impairment intrusion
into \ campaign shaped already by
others on lines different from those
which he now advances. - Albany

ITALIAN MILITARY SCHOOLS.

sketch of the Institutions Where the
Young Men Are Taught the Science OF
War.
ANY sketch of the italian military or
ganization would be incomplete with
out mention of those institutions
which are designed for the recruitment
and instruction of officers.
For sub-Iieutenants there are some
school platoons detailed by certain regi-
ments of the several arms of infantry,
bersaglieri, cavalry and artillery, be-
sides a school company for garrison ar
tillery. A special academy at Caserta
furnishes instruction to those sub-lieu-
tenants who seek promotion to a lieu
tenancy in the field army or in it's adj
ministration.
So likewise there are school platoons
in some specified regiments of the sew
eral arms for the recruitment and in
struction of officers. Then five military
academies, at Milan. Florence, Rome,
Naples and Messina, give college educa-
ton to young men whose families wish
them to be prepared to follow the mill
itary profession. The military school
of Modena prepares young men for sub
lieutenancies in the infantry, cavalry
academy of Turin does the same as to
the arms of artillery and the engineers.
There are also staff colleges, among
which the s'scuola di Guerra" Of Turin
is prominent This school receives Off
GERS of any arm who pass successfully q
competitive examination. The course
lasts two years, after which q vigorous
examination. both theoretical and prac-
teal, determines what men are fit &c
become staff officers.
The graduates of the military acad.
envy of Turin can not obtain admission
to any artillery or engineer regiment
before perfecting their education in the
''Scuola d'Applicazoine dele Armi spe-
cali. also established in Turin.
The stats for the sanitary depart
ment and the cavalry are recruited from
the graduates of the medical military
school of Florence and the cavalry
school of Pinerolo respectively. Two
central schools, the one at Nettuno for
the artillery. the other at Parma for
the infantry, perfect the special educa-
ton of officers in all matters pertaining
to arms and the use of them.
All the aforementioned schools have
given to the army numerous officers,
whose thorough knowledge, both theo-
retical and practical. is sure guarantee
that the army and military science in
italy will be kept in constant progress
in every department-ColG 9. Goiran, In

Farmers and Taxes.

It requires no grasp of distractions
for the working farmer to see that to
abolish all taxation, save upon the
value of land, would be to his interest,
no matter how it might affect larger
landholders. Let the working farmer
consider how the weight of indirect
taxation falls upon him without having
power to shift off upon anyone else;
how it adds to the price of nearly every
thing he has to buy. without adding to
the price of what he has to sell; how it
compels him to contribute to the sup
port of government in far greater pro-
portion to what he possesses than it
does those who are much richer, and he
will see that by the substitution of di-
rect for indirect taxation he would be
largely the gamer. Let him con-
slider further and he will see that
he will be still more largely the
gamer if direct taxation were confined
to the value of land. The land of the
working farmer is improved land, and
usually the value of the improvements
and of the stock used in cultivating it
bear a very high proportion to the value
of the bare land Now, as all valua BILE
land is not improved as is that of the
working farmer-as there is much more
Of valuab BILE land than of improved land
to substitute for the taxation now
levied upon improvements and stock, a
tax upon the naked value of land, ire
spective of improvements, would be
manifestly to the advantage of the
owners of improved land, and especially
of small owners the value of whose inn
provements bears a much higher ratio
to the value of the land than is the case
with larger owners, and who, as one of
the effects of treating improvements as
a proper subject of taxation, are taxed
far more heavily, even upon the value
of their land, than are larger owners.
The working farmer has only to look
about him to realize this Nearby his
farm of eighty or sixty acres he will
find tracts of 500 or 1000, or in some
places tens of thousands of acres
of equally valuable land. upon which
the improvements, stock, tools and
household effects are much less in
proportion than on his own small farm,
or which may be totally unimproved
and unused. In the villages he will find
acre, half-acre and quarter-acre lots,
unimproved or slightly improved. which
are more valuable than his whole farm.
If he looks further he will see tracts OF
mineral land or land with other suDe-
