Governor John T. Rich, whose sensation

vigorous prosecution of the crooked officials
connected Herewith have endeared him tc
the people of Michigan and magnifed his
Importance in the eyes of the nation, still
calls himself farmer and likes to be con
sidered one of the plain people, though he
has been a successful politician and almost
continuously an ofiiceholder since his early
manhood.
He began in 1867, when he was elected SIT
pervisor, which office he filled for three
terms. Next he went to the legislature
where he served eight years, two of them
as speaker of the house and one as senator

Career of A. SIm S. Hewitt.
AbraLi Stevens HEWITT, ex-congressman
and ex-mayor of New York, is ole Of those
peculiar men who never open their mouths
to speak without saying something signif-
cant or startling, as was sufficiently demon
strated by his recent speech at the dinner Of
the Southern society in the city Of New
York. 1t was Mr.. Hewitt's first public ut
terance in a long time. Since his retirement
from the mayoralty he has taken little or
no active part in public affairs, bnt that he
has not lost interest in them was shown by
the outburst of long pent pessimism, which
fell in eloquent periods from his lips.
Mr.. Hewitt is very peculiar man. De
spite the magnificent success which he has
made of his own career, he seems to persist
In thinking that things are going to the
dogs, or at any rate that nothing is SO good
as it used to be when he was younger and
hope was the dominant note in the music
of his life. Doubtless his mental peculiar
tiles are somewhat attributable to his phys

zeal condition. He is extremely nervous
suffers much from insomnia, and the irri
liability of his temper is matched by the
sensitiveness of his cuticle. Those who
know him make allowances for these things
and receive his structures with good humoi
even when they cannot agree with him.
But there is generally some meat in Mr.
Hewitt's discourses, just rs there is the in.
centive of noble example in his career, OF
which it may not be amiss just now to give
an outline. He was born at Haverstraw,
N. Y. in 1922 and received his early train
ing in the public schools of New York city
In a special competition with other public
school boys he won prize scholarship at
Columbia college and was thus able to Sc
cure a liberal education. He graduated at
the head of his class in 1872 During his
college course he supported himself by tn
toring, and after graduating he acted rs in
structor in mathematics, at the same time
studying law.
In 1874 Mr.. Hewitt was admitted to the
bar, and having saved 81 600 spent it on
trip to Europe with his classmate, Edward
Cooper, whose business partner and brother
in-law he afterward became. Having prac
tically ruined his eyesight by excessiv,
reading, he found himself untitled to prac
tice law and went into the firm of Cooper &
Hewitt, to which Edward Cooper's father
Peter Cooper, the philanthropist, turned
over the iron interests of his own business
The young men made great success OF
this business and in various other fields
and both of them subsequently served New
York city in the office of mayor
Mr.. Hewitt was elected to congress
1874 and served till 1885, He was chairman
of the Democratic national committee in
1876 and introduced in congress the famous
electoral commission bill for the settlement
of the Hayes-Tiden election dispute. He
was elected mayor of New York in 1886. the
opposing Candidates being Henry George
and Theodore Roosevelt.

THE BOTTOM is NOT OUT.


Trotting stock is low in price, but so
is everything else, except taxes and
whiskey-there is no fluctuation in the
cost of the last two commodities, for the
liberal application Of. the one keeps up
the price of the other-fast horse stock
is not supplied with any such reliable
support, but must take its chances with
other personal and perishable property.
Really there cannot rightfully be so
much complaint about the prices obtain
ed for good and fairly good horses, but
the actual trouble is found in the lack of
demand-there are but few opportunities
to sell at any price; and so it is with
everything else. Real estate has not
declined in price, but there are very few
buyers; money is scarce, or at least
there is not the usual volume in crcu-
lation, and those who would like to buy
horses or real estate at good prices are
prevented only by want of the "where-
with" Men in good circumstances are
compelled to confine their purchases to
actual necessities, and fast trotters and
PAGERS do not come under that head;
they may be classed as luxuries, and
hence in "these hard times" are forbid
den fruit
We have attended many combination
sales when there was no talk of hard
times at which prices averaged a great
deal lower than they have been going
the past year, andl agree with writer
in the American Horse Breeder that
horsemen eighteen years ago had more
re lson to suppose that the bottom had
dropped tout of the business than we of
the present time. An Axtell or an
Arion had never been sold then for over
100000, nor had purses and stakes been
hung up, amounting to millions, by trot-
ting associations all over the land to
encourage them. and the breeders faced
lower prices in 1876 than we are now
seeing. At Alexander's sale, lG colts,
finely-bred ones, sired by Belmont and
Harold, out of mares by Mambrino Chief,
Alexander's Abdallah and Pilot, Jr.,
passed under the hammer at an average
of only Sl39, one by Harold, out of Mid
night, by Pilot, Jr., bringing only $40.
The 2-year-old filly NOontide, now with
a record of , :208, sired by Belmont, out
of the dam of Jay-Eye-See, , 10, brought
only $780, and Midnight herself, at l
yers old, sold for $l25. Report says
Governor Stanford paid $4,000 for her
later.
In October, 1877, DR.. Herr had sale
of 81 head principally the get of Mann
brine Patchen, and some by Mambrino
King, that only averaged 500 each.
How do those prices look for the get of
"A sire whose daughters lead all brood
mares in the number they have in the
2 80 list. and are the dams of such sires
as Guy Wilkes, Alcantara and AlcyOne?
Then in June, 1873, the three year-old
stallion Onward, now most noted sire,
with record of 2 :25i, by George Wilkes,
dam Dolly, the dam of Director, 2:17,
and Thorndale, 2 ;224, sold for $500. At
the same auction sale a two-year-old
colt was purchased for 5000 that has
since brought S75, 900, and he is worth
