Is CLEVELAND CRUEL.
The Horses in the Executive Stubl,
Have rhcir Tails Docked

NAVY Ibthtu.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2O.-All of the
horses in the Presidents S stable have had
their tails docked. This is radical de-
parture from the long tailed" fashion
that has prevailed in the executive sta.
bes as far back as the memory of tie
oldest inhabitant runs. 1t has always
been regarded as humane and at the
same time dignifed tor the Presiden
ride behind team of horses whose tails
flowed in graceful waves until they
almost or quite touched the ground.
During President Grant S administration
the decking of horses tails was con
sitorcd the proper capcr" in the sw, Il
st t, and m attempt was mad' to obtain
Gen Grants consent to an abbrcviation
# the tails OF his favorite roadster Gin
cinnatu us and the other fine specimens ot
horse flesh in the stable. He not only
appreciated the beauty of long, sweep
Ing tail, but he also regarded it as cruel
to subject n dumb animal to the torture
which the docking process entails.
The local Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals commended the ac-
ton OF President Grant and adopted ap-
propriatc resolutions on the subject. The
same society will probably undertake to
express the official condemnation of the
recent departure in h.r.e s,yle 6. ne
white House stable.
After all there may be more or less idIg
sentiment wasted upon the subject OF
docking horses tails, for vice ce.pssilents,
cabinet officers, foreign ambassadors
and other public functionaries dock their
horses tails without suhiectnc them
selves to criticism. but it is probable
that Presidcnt Cleveland will not be per
mltted to escape censurc for chopping
of the tails ot his hoi ses. .--Charl, ston

SHIP 4 MASS OF ICE.

Close Call for the Steamer Corean In
Terrible storm.
ST. JOINS. y. F.. Nov. 23.-The over
due Allen line steamer Corean, which ar.
rived here yesterday alter 16 days
voyage, reports the worst weather Capt.
Main ever experienced. Almost from the
moment the Corean left Liverpool gales
continued with terrific force, and for two
days the steamer made no headwav.
The immense seas broke over her. rem
dering it impossible for the officers of the
steamer to mancuver her.
Snow storms were frequent and the
ship was mass of ice, looking as she en-
tered the harbor like an enormous ice
berg. Oil had to be used to break the
force of the seas, otherwise. the officers
say, the Corean would have been found
cred. In tact, it appeared imminent ssv.
eral times that the steamer would go
down. The sixty passengers on board
the Corcan declare that their experience
was indescribably thrilling. They ex-
pected, they say. to go to the bottom
every moment. No serious damage " as
sustained by the vessel.

'JUDGE DICKS CAMPAIGNING" J"
A Correspondent Jumps On the U. s.
Court.

Writing from Asheville. a correspond
ent Of the Charlotte Observer "jumps
on" in no light manner Judge Dicks
campmeeting." as the Federal court is
called, and the court Is referred to as "a
laughing stock with the people"
The article alludes to the U. S. money
that is "doled out to jurymen who are
selected througha system Of favoriti.m." +"
Referring to this, Deputy Clerk c.
B. Moore said today the statement
was not fact. The jurors are chosen
bv a jury commission composed Of U. S.
Commissioner Summey and the clerk. A
venire of 55 Is drawn. A list OF names
is sent by each commissioner and the iu-
rors are drawn from these. Remote
counties are allowed two jurors each,
cour ties adjoining Buncombe are allowed
four each. and the remaining jurors are
chosen from Buncombe-about 20 white
and five colored. The list is revised
every two or three years, when, by order
Of court. 500 new names are sent to the
clerk. Under the rule observed, Mr..
Moore says, juror cannot get on the
jury oftener than once in two years.
To the statement that "the clerk and
district attorney are Of course interested
Ia big docket-the more cases the more
money for them" Mr.. Moore says the
district attorney had made hts maximum
($6000) before the recent court, and his
services at this term were without com.
pensation. The clerk has no power
whatever to increase the docket, to start
a prosecution or dismiss it. The clerks
maximum is $500 and expenses, and this
amount has been reached but once since
the establishment of the court-while ].
E. Reed was clerk.
The article says further. "there is no
leading lawyer in Asheville who will ap-
pear in this court. 1t 10 teat which
furnishes nourishment to crowd who
know, by.long practice, just how to pull
on it." To this Mr.. Moore replied by

SOMETHING ON IN TENNESSEE
THE DETAILED RETURNS STILL
HELD BACK.

Republicans Becoming Very Uneasy
About the Delav-Meantime 1t Is Not
Known Certainly Whether Evans or
Turney VIII be Governor.
NASHVILLE, Nov. 23.-The sentiment
which prevails at the capital of the state
today In connection with the action of
the state officials in refusing to give out,
even at this late date, any information
as to the vote for governor. is of the
most pronounced sort. On street cor
ners, in club rooms and in hotel lobbies
the officials are subjects of the most
caustic condemnation.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. 32-Chair.
man Newell Sanders, of the Republican
State committee, accompanied by Judge
Lewis Shepherd, counsel for the COM
mittee, returned last night from Nash
vile, to look after their private affairs.
Both express belief that the deplorable
controversy will terminate in the seat,
ing of Governor.elect Evans. though,
they admit that this is BY no means Ger.
tain. The best citizens of Nashville they
say, arc, regardless of party, operlv con-
demning the action of Secretary of State
Morgan, and his associate in
refusing to announce the result
OF the election. They point with
confidence to the fact that the best ele.
ment Of Democracy throughout the en-
tire commonwealth is now practically
unanimous in the belief that Mr.. Evans
has plurality OF the votes cast and
should therefore be seated as Governor.
But the office holders, they contend, are
determined to continue the struggle and
refuse to announce the result so long as
there is a possibility of creating con,
test in the legislature.
According to law" said Chairman
Sanders last night, "any citizen has
right to obtain copy of the returns on
payment of the fees. personally ten
dercu the officials 500 in cash in pay
ment Of fees for copy of the returns,
but still they were denied me.
"a point which the public doesn't
seem to grasp in its fullest meaning"
co rtnued Mr.. Sanders, 'is the
fact that neither the Secretary OF
State nor Governor Turney has
any right to the returns. In
the case of State senator's and represent.
atives it is different. The speaker OF the
senate alone acts, so far as anv individu.
al action is concerned. He announces the
result to the legislature. The action OF
the secretary Of state and his associates
in exercising control over the returns in
the election OF governor is unwarranted
bv law, and consequently urjust and un-
fair. But perh,ps the worst phase of the
whole affair i, the secrecy. This secrecy
is what is making the people suspicious,
and one day it will have to be explained.
Neither !u 'ge Shepherd nor myself
will return to Nashville until our presence
there is required. Meantime Mr.. Evans
will remain at the capital to look after
/ his interests"
