Breed for what sells. Develop your youngsters.
 Prospects are growing brighter.
 Encourage farmers to breed right.
 Size, speed and beauty always sells.
 Keep the weanlings in good flesh.
 Many road riders prefer pacers to trotters.
 Speed commands as much money as it ever did.
 The hardy thrifty Morgan is a hard chap to beat.
 First class road horses are picked up as soon as found.
 Friends of the Morgans need not wear mourning yet.
 There is 8 strong pacing leaven in many of Hambletonian's best sons.
 It is not a question whether a sire has fast record, but whether he has ratural speed. That is what we want to breed to. Not to a sire that it will cost more to develop speed than he will bring.
 The old prejudice against the pacer is dead and no program of a great meeting would be complete unless fair share of purses and stakes went to the sidewheel- CTS.
 Nervous, flighty mares as rule mated with stallions of the right temperament and strong speed inheritance produce the fastest trotters and most cheerful roadsters.
 Now we know where the pace came from in so many of the get of George Wilks. Ephram Simmons says the old horse could pace faster than he could trot, and was pure and level at that gait
 The hired man, who cannot or does not manage horse without blows or loud and harsh commands, had better be dismissed. Kind and quiet drivers are very much to be preferred for various reasons. In the best ordered stables, loud talking is forbidden, and the man who swears at horse is promptly dis charged. This not on moral grounds, but as business policy.
 The whip infiicts great pain and worry and helps immensely to wear out horse. The best horsemen of our time condemn it's use and believe that much more is lost than gained by it.

A CURIOUS ACCIDENT.

A CURIOUS ACClDENIs
 A curious accident happened at the South bound station Saturday week. There had been heavy snow Friday night, and there was a slide 1.-the station roof which piled the snow on the track to the depth of several feet. Before it could be removed an express train passed, huIl- ing the snow against the station. It smashed an entire window and broke one of the lamps. The station was covered with snow. It was hurled againsta tele- graph pole thirty feet away. It was very fortunate that there was no one on the platform, at the time; if there had been, serious results would have followed.

RESULTS OF BAD HANDLING.
 The following facts quoted from an English paper can well be read and pon dered over by horse owners, who seldom inquire into the capability of their grooms or drivers, and who give but lit- tie thought to a subject that should com mand and receive their earnest consider ation. Three horses died in a month in stable and the verdict of the veterinary surgeon in each case was that they died of infiammationlof the bowels The fact that all three were under the charge of one groom, led to inquiry and it was found that the man was in the habit of kicking them in the belly, on the slight est pretext. A change was made and no further losses resulted. We wonder how many deaths proceed each year from kindred causes. When we see horses that have signs of breeding about them relegated to carts and going about their work with sprained tendons, their feet slipping about at each step when we

A horse belonging to Will Cook, and driven by Joseph Lucas, and tied as he supposed securely, broke loose, Satur- day forenoon, and ran at a furious pace through "Slab Alley" causing not a lit tie consternation among spectators, and breaking both harness and sleigh. He was re-captured after a while and the damage was repaired. Joseph is ready to drive the tricky steed again, as he is a man of undaunted spirit, and does not stop for such trifling escapade.

BRIDAL GREETINGS.
 One of the most noticeable events of the past week was the return of the bridal party, Mir and Mrs John M. Lucas, from their recent wedding trip. They came back in the midst of the blizzard like storm that was prevailing, but the warm and genial greetings of their friends soon banished all unpleasant thoughts of boreal blasts. They are now nicely ensconced in their new home and beginning their matrimonial life un- der very pleasant circumstances. May they seem to hear in every wintry breeze as well as in every summer zephyr, the sweet echoes of Julia Ward Howe's m + ody:

Sections That Are Favored by Demo
cratic Measures.
A bill that destroys industries and
brings ruin to any part Of the country,
as the Wilson bill must surely do for
the great wool-producing portion OF
our country and for the general ngri-
cultural interests OF our country, IS not
n protective bill. Why should we not
nav that it is n highly protective
measure but that IL protects only in
spots? Peanuts and rice are well pro-
tected-southern spots. Iron and coal
have fought their way, through much
opposition. 10 safely protective point,
for Virginia, Maryland and Alabama.
III the American people six months
ago had manifested the same DISPOSE
ton toward this Wilson bill, which Is
to-day lurking in the mind OF nearly
everyone, no doubt the movement
would have been started whereby the
voice OF the millions Of people through
out the land would have caused both
the house and senate To- pause In
their mad course and make an end OF
such vicious tariff tinSering as Is be-
Ing manipulated by these party re-
formers
with millions out OF work, and the
industrial system of the nation threat
ened on all sides, there are a few who
still continue 20 demand higher rates

OF the best interests Of the country
have been turned adrift- Millions for
sugar; nothing for wool.

loss on the one hand, while IL attempts
10 bolster up and give preference Ia

A SPURIOUS CLAIM.
rhs Income Tax Measure Purely Demo-
cratic.

cratic.
The report has become current
throughout tho west and northwest
that the populist delegation in con-
gress claim to have forced the adop-
ton OF the income tax amendment -
the Wilson tariff bill.
No more unjust claim was ever made
by any party or party people. The
democrats acted independent OF both
populists and republicans in preparing
and bringing forward this measure.
They had voted enough OF their own
and 10 spare. and Notwithstanding the
claims made by Mr.. Simpson, OF Kan
sas, as the leader OF the populists in
the lower house OF congress, the evil
dence Is all against any such action
being taken by the democrats at tho
suggestion or at the forced dictation
of the populist delegation.
On the rollcall of January 5, 20
adopt the rule, against which the re-
publicans filibustered, the record
shows that all the populists in the
house, instead OF voting for the rule,
hlibustered, except Bell. who voted
for consideration. Page 537, second
session, Fifty-third congress. On the
second rollcal Bell refused To vote,
but on all other votes on that measure
that day Bell voted with the demo-
Gratis.
On the following day. the same or
der OF proceeding was continued, and
all the populists were filibustering as
shown by the record, pages 5i4, 545 and
$40. On the sth Of January, page b65,
IL is shown that the rule brought in by
the committee on rules. was adopted
BY vote OF 100 yeas, 10 no nays, not
voting, 1Gl. OF this l61, the following
populists appear: Baker, OF Kansas;
Bell, OF Colorado; Bowen, OF Mnne-
sofa; Davis, OF Kansas; Harris, OF Kan
sas; Hudson, OF Kansas; KEN, OF Ne
| braslSa; McKcighan. OF Nebraslai
| Pence, OF Colorado; Simpson, OF Kan
sas, making n solid populist vote against
consideration for the bill. IL Is there
fore conclusive that the democrats
were able 20 shape the character, as
we'll as the time for consideration OF
this measure, independent of the pop
ulists' vote, under the leadership of
Mr.. Simpson. The populists' vote did
not force the hLtdcnlntuA u NhN AhNNiAiN
tax 10 the bill. as claimed by them.
The bill was reported the last OF De
cember. Wilson gave notice in Decem'
Der that he would call il up on the
first day OF the session after the holt
days. lie gave that notice December
81. ON Friday, the 9Th of January
