Irby Now Where Johustonc Was.


During the last campaign the .'dom-
lnant element" claimed everything
and was willing to yield nothing. 1t
seems that u different spirit rules
now. Senator Irby thinks Cleveland
ought to make fair division of the
Offices between the Cleveland men and
the anti Cleveland men.
AS wo understand, that was exact
~ Congressman Johnstonos position
IN the campaign. He thought that
the National Offices ought to be equal.
~ divided between Alliancemen and
non-Alliancemen. Mr.. Latimer, his
opponent for Congressional honors,
thought that the Alliancemen were
entitled to all the offices and he would
use all his influence with the Presi-
dent to have them appointed to office.
The Alliancemen liked Mr. Latimer's
promises better than they did Mr..
Johnstoue's, and 50 they elected
him.
But it happened that the Alliances
men were disappointed in the defeat
OF MIR. Harrison for President. No.
body thought Mr. Cleveland would be
elected
AS it is, Mr. Latimer introduced
the resolution dcnouncing Mr.. Clcvc-
lard as n tool of Wall street
and his Influence with the Presidents
whom he denounced may not be a
great us he could wish.
Scnator Irby was more discreet and
did not, IN SO pronounced u manner,
place himself on record, in the cam
paiSn, but is now occupying the idcn-
tai position which Congressman John
stone held III the campaign, and which
liberal spirit brought defeat to him.

not the best policy. - Press e. Banner.

We may vet bet. AS an American,
hope we shall. As moralist and oc-
casional sermonizer am not so anxious
about 1t. Wherever the trottiDg horse
goes, he carries in his train brisk omni-
buses, lively baker carts, and therefore
hot rolls, the Jolly butchers wagon, the
cheerful gig, the wholesome afternoon
drive with wife and child-al the forms of
moral excellence, except truth, which does
not agree with any kind of horseflesh. The
racer brings with him gambling, cursing,
swearing, drinking and distaste for
mob-caps and the middle-aged virtues.
And, by the way, let me beg you not
to call trotting match race, and not
to speak of thoroughbred" as blood
ed horse, unless he has been recently
phlebotomized. | consent to your saying
"blood horse" if you like. Also, if,
next year, we send out Posterior and
Posterioress, the winners of the great
national four-mlle race in :lS4. and they
happen to get beaten, pay your bets and
behave like men and gentlemen about it,

GREAT MEN AND HORSES.

william, duke or Normandy, AFTER
wards William |. of England, had three
horses killed under him at the battle of
Hastings. The battle was fought in To-
&C and firearms were not used then.
At the siege of Toulon Napoleon had
three horses killed under him, aud it is
understood they were killed by cannon
balls.
The last year of Cromwell's life, 1868,
the States of Holland presented him six
fine bay horses. One afternoon when in
the park taking little rest and enjoy
ment from the cares of government, he
ordered the horses harnessed; two pos
tlions mounted the leaders and Crom-
we'll took the reins. The fiery, unbrok-
en- horses reared and threw their drivers
and ran, throwing Cromwell to the
ground, and he was dragged some dis
lance, his pistol going off in the mean
time. He escaped being hurt. He said
afterward, ut is easier to conduct a
q government than to drive team of
horses" The cause of the accident was
the horses not being safe, as:it must be
understood that the farmer Of Hunting
ton, with forty years experience on the
farm, must have been capable of driving
them had they been safe. When Napol-
con took the reins and tried to drive the
horses of his coach they were safe, but
they became unmanageable and ran
away, throwing him out, and it was be-
cause of his inability to handle and drive
them. Had he had any experience in
driving horses the accident would not
have happened, as the horses were safe
for an experienced driver to handle.
Washington's mother owned a four
year-old colt that was unbroken, wild.
and called ugly and vicious. Colts then
were not handled or halter-brollen until
three or four years old. 1t can be I'M
gerous such a colt would be to teach.
Had it been handled and halter-broken
when it ran with its dam there would
have been no trouble with him. The
! colt WAS lllOIOuS llDItus anu On ACCOUNT
of Its high breeding Mrs. Washington
thought very much of him. One after
noon when Washington was fifteen he
concluded he would try and handle him,
as breaking colts was what he liked,
He, with the aid of some of his mates
succeeded in coaXing the colt up SC
that he got bride on him and mounted.
Then the fight commenced. The colt
wanted to run, and Washington was
stout enough to keep him from running.
In the fight the colt became so frenzied
and mad because he could have his own
way that he reared and threw himself
thereby breaking a blood-vessel, which
caused his death. Had Washington lei
him run, as did Alexander the fiery horse
he mounted which was sent his father
it is probable that the accident would
not have happened. When he went in
for supper his mother asked him how
the colt was doing, the last time she saw
him he was most as large as his sire.
Washington replied that the colt was
dead and told her all about it. She saw
at once that he was not to blame. anC
did not fret and scold as some mother:
would Exchange.

MORGANs IN MICHIGAN.

Mr.. II. Collister of Laingsburg, Mich,
writing to prominent horseman of this

"SeveIal Morgan stations were brought
in here at an early day, but their de-
scendants are getting scarce. They have
been the finest race of horses we ever
had, and | would like to see the Vermont
breeders preserve what Morgan blood
remains by inbreeding the same"
