A dozen years ago, when kept in
AGrian, said the livery stable man, l
had an experience which it gives me o
pain, even yet, 10 think OF. A fellow
rode up to my door one afternoon and
asked II l cared 10 buy the horse he was
on. The animal was seven-y ear-old,
dark bay. with no blaze and only one
stocking. in pretty fair condition, but
rough-his tail and name full Of burs.
| found him sound, be seemed gentle
and the chap only wanted one hundred
and twenty-five dollars for him; not
dear for such likely looking horse for
livery work, as prices were then. There
was nothing suspicious about the man.
He said he had been teaching q school
back In the country, and looked It. The
horse was taken for debt and he had q
regular bill of sale for him. But the
aalmal was no more good to him, be-
cause he had had the shakes, was sick
Of the West and was going back home
20 Massachusetts, by the cars, from
Adrian. To cut it short, got the horse
for one hundred dollars, with q. good
saddle and bridla thrown In, and be
went of on the next train east, as he
said be would.
The next morning, two men who
named themselves Switzerland and
Hutchinson, got of the train from De-
troit at Adrian, 10 sell county rights

OUTLYING sections. It Is to these people
that they look for political preferment
and not to the people OF the East. In
deed, as they say, the sufferings Of their
people are far more poignant than the
sufferings of others. Nerved by the
cries of their constituents they have
determined to fight the Voorhees, bill to
the last. They have pewef to defeat
any action by tllibustering, and they in
tend to use it. There is no doubt about
it; they mean It, The most of them are
comparatively young men and have the
physical endurance to carry out their
intentions. The rules Of the Senate
favor them. With two Of their num-
Der in the House they can 6libuster in
definitely while their opponents must
maintain quorum 10 do any business
whatever.
Senator Stewart, OF Nevada, is the
Alexander Of this phalanx. Ho occu-
pies a seat at the head Of the main aisle
nearest the door. His very figure, let
alone his record and attitude, is pro-
test against any action. He was
farmers boy and bad cut the leading
swath over many an acre OF timothy.
Ho has been a miner and has used the
pan and worked the rocker in Califor-
MIA and Nevada. He has been a lawyer
In mining camps and he was once
prosecuting attorney, and afterwards
an encouragement of California.
Anon, he was a leading spirit In the
development of the celebrated Com
stock Lode. The Senator has faced
death more than once in his
early days. There is no doubt Of
his determination and the rightly

dred and forty-nlne feet, having q

a lantern or turret Of iron beams coz

for a new patent churn. They wanted
A horse to take them around among the
farmers and 1 let them have my new
roadster. When they came back in the
evening they engaged him for the next
day and was glad to see he was not
driven very hard. So 1t went on three
or four days. Every morning they
drove him out and in the evening en-
gagged him for the next day. But they
didn't seem to have much luck in SELL
ing their churn and talked about giving
up and going away discouraged. l
suggested that they better stay over
TO the county fair, which was to open
the next week, when they could
show their churn TO everybody
In that part Of Michigan
and would be likely to do well. After
a little talk the idea seemed TO please
them and they agreed to stay. l posted
them on where TO get their license and
space, and hire a tent and so on, for all
OF which they thanked me warmly
Then they concluded they would have
TO hire horse 10 take them out to the
grounds and back, and maybe drive
around bit, and they would engage
the one they had been using. They
would pay for him for every day,
whether they used him or not, only
they stipulated that I was not, under
any circumstances, 10 let anyone else
work him during tho fair week.
At our county fair, the same as II is
nowadays at pretty much all county
fairs, tie fat hogs, and blooded cattle,
and patchwork quilts and such like,
were Just a good excuse for horse rae
ine-the only near home chance the
deacons had in the whole year 10 do q
little Quiet betting on trot. And as
our managers gave fat purses, they used
10 draw good stock and have races. So
they seemed to the public, anyway, but
the fact was that there was regular
ring Of racing men who had il all fixed
up among themselves TO divide the
purses and milk the public's pockets by
throwing the races.
They had one mare, OF the "Gold
Dust" strain-"Sultana," they called
her-that could have won in every event
she was entered, for. If allowed, but
that was not their game, and there is
no doubt she was pulled in the two
mile trot, best two in three, on the
third day, letting black horse named
Nabob come under the wire, winning
by head. H..
That evening Mr.. Switzerland, who
mad bet on Sultana and Solaced himself
sfterward with hard cider, accumulated
quite jag, and when In good mood
for freeing his mind, met with the chap
named Carter, who owned Sultana. To
Mr.. Carter he coufded, IN voice like 4
fog horn, his private impression that
the mare was no good; that she was a
cav: that II was dead skin on an limo
ceat public TO match her against q real
horse like Nabob. and so on 10 such an

tie bronze foundry Of Bureau BesJhers,

army astragal is to cost $4,000, and
will be cast in Germany.
There is still another astragal In
bronze, known as the upper, resting
lust below the capital. Il has spaces
for dates. The monument commission
ers would have placed the years OF the
civil war in the spaces, 1861, 1862, 1858,
1864 and 1865. II occurred TO them
then that it would be fitting to memoir
ializs the years Of the civil war by the
dates 1s6i-1sG5, and the Mexican war
by the dates 1s46-iS4s. This caused
the outburst OF indignation against the
commissioners on the part OF the Grand
Army OF the Republic, which prevented
the unwilling OF the GROWING figures as
a part OF the programme OF the recent
national encampment held in this city.

Woe to the man who saas not facts and
figures for his assertions; Teller will
turn him on the FIRST opportunity. Like
Stewart. Teller was born on New
York farm. he never held an Office

his eyes are black snd swapping. He
has q broad forshead, an expansive
chest. and small hands aud feet. He
has the most pleasant face OF any man
In the Senate. Even In repose 1t bears
the impress OF good humor. Very few
men in the Senate have had more va
ried career. This gentleman is the
Parmenio Of the Phalanx, Senator
Jones, of Nevada. He is as intermina-
BILE a talker as his colleague, and even
more interesting. BE has had practi-
cal experience In mining camps and has
won and lost fortunes In developing
mines. In his early days he was
prominent figure on the Comstock Lode.
Like Stewart, his fund OF "reminiscences
seems inexhaustible. He always keeps
in touch with the people. Born In
England, he is thoroughly cosmopoli-
tan in nature. He can hum the latest
popular song, appreciate a superine
tuba, diagnose the latest scientific dis
covsry, and discuss the most aestruse
theological problem. He is thor
oughly equipped man Of the world. he
can place himself en- rapport with clown
or ring master, divine or general when
ever ne pleases. Plausible, engaging
in manner, affable In conversation and
dlgnifed In debate, there Is no better
representative OF the silver interest In
the Seuate. He thoroughly under
stands the needs Of the people whom
he represents, and neither power
nor persuasion can drive him from bis
ground.
Near Senator Stewart and on the
same row sits young warrior In pep

tache, thick black hair, and black eyes.
The face is Frenchy, and recalls Tict-
ures OF st. Just. The figure is sturdy
and full Of activity. This gentleman Is
Senator Dubois, Of Idaho. Born in Hi
nos, he is evidently a descendant OF
the French Canadians, who explored
the country with La Sale in the last
century. Dubois served two terms In
the House as a delegate from Idaho.
He was once marshal Of the Territory,

The chief bronzes Of course are the
side groups. Awards in one competi-
ton have been made, but the success
full models are not satisfactory. The
War group was designed by Adrien
Gaudez, of Paris, and the Peace group
by HundrIeser, of Berlin. They are to
cost about ninety thousand dollars. The
principal objection TO them is their I'M
American treatment and inadequate
size. The commission has an offer from
Frederick MacMonnies, the most noted
of American sculptors and the de-
signer of the fountain in the Court OF
Honor at the worlds fair, to design
and put in place the two groups for one
hundred Thousand dollars, they to De
finished in four years. 1t is probable
his offer will be accepted. The groups
are to contain not less than ten
figures, from sixteen to eighteen feet
high. and will be the most ambitious
piece of bronze ever cast in America.
The browning figure which is finished
and In place holds the American foundry
records for size. 1t is pronounced by
critics to be a superb piece OF work, and
of enduring art fame. The designer,
Mr.. George T. Brewster, modelled II
from two Cleveland women, one OF
whom posed for the body above the
waist and the other for that below.
The bronze weighs about twenty thou
sand pounds. IL was east in the Ameri-
can bronze foundry at Chicago. 1t
stands thirty-eight feet high from the
base of the globe to the tip Of tho torch.
IT'S pose represents Liberty exultant.
Being unique among statues as TO
height, there was always question
whether after it was put in It's place
$50 feet above ground II would be free
from art defects. The designer was
successful in his conception. The
figure harmonizes perfectly with the
requirement Of art at its great height.
1t has a simplicity and harmony OF out
line, free from petty and superhuous
details, and has grace Of movement
combined with vigor and strength. 1t
is free from conventionalities and is
original as we'll as American in treat
ment. 1t shows evidence of thorough
technical training. The head piece is

bate, he is the most striking figure in
the Senate. He has not yet concluded
his speech on tho silver question and
the Lord alone knows when he will

speech will bear repeating. After de-
falling the legislation as to gold and
silver for years, he suddenly turned
toward the Democratic side and said:
"And, now you propose 10 Introduce
this Trojan horse into our midst"
Before the sentence was concluded

Fellows entered. Fellows seemed some

cloak room in apparent excitement he

ever-ready Senator Wolcott, OF Colo
