WISE'S STRING SOLD.
John Carey Purchases a Lot of Fast step

perSs
Los Angeles Cal, March 19.-Dr
X. d. Wise, of this city, has sold to
John Carey, driver of the famous stall
lion Joe Patchen. his entire string of
horses for about $4,000, which is con-
sidered a remarkably low price.
Carey will ship the best of the lot East
at once. Among those purchased are
Adelaide McGregor, 21512, and AIDE
laide Simmons2141a. Both are great
race mares. The string also includes
Emin Bey. by Guy Wilkes, 2:21l2;
Gondine 2:20, and lot of three-year-
olds. Mr.. Carey said: Il think l will
be in California next winter. IL Is
the best State to winter in that | know
of. We will start to race on the Grand
Circuit which opens in Saginaw,
Mich. some time in July. Right here
| want to say a word about pool-sell-
ing" and here Mr.. Carey delivered
himself of some startling opinions,
coming from professional, practical
horseman. Il wish that all betting
and gambling on race tracks could be
abolished. | think if it is kept up
horse racing will be demoralized. If
it is abolished we will more than make
up for the loss of revenue by the inter
est that a better class of people VIII
take in racing"

4 PLATE-GLASS TRUST.

Having learned nothing by the dis
astrous failures and scandalous his
tories of many of our great trusts, the
plate-glass manufacturers of the
United States are organizing a brand
new one. with a capital of S1O.OOO,OOO
The corporation is to have head
quarters in Pittsburg. and will include
all the plate-glass factories in Ameri-
ca that are in operation. The central
concern is the Pittsburg Plate-glass
Company. which is absorbing all the
others. The Diamond Plate-glass
Company. of Kokomo Ind, was
bought last week, and it is said the
Crystal City, of st. Louis. the Howard
Plate Company, of Duquesne, and the
CAarlerio, of Charlcroi, Pa, remain to
be purchased.
When the trust is formed it will he

ferent from the combination to main
tain prices which fell to pieces early
last year.
If the concern shall not attempt TO
get rich too fast by mixing in politics
and legislation and manipulating the
markets, it may prove a success.

The stanton indicator expresses the
! opinion that the next Legislature should
| mt an end to the system of individual
sureties. which, it says, has cost the tax
navers over half a million dollars, and
require the State officers to BE- bonded
by guarantee companies. And in COM
menting on this the Clifton Forge Re
view says:
"Indiyidual sureties may be all right
sometimes, but the day has come when
the bonds Of officers who handle pubic
funds-State. county and municipal
should be secured by guarantee COM
panies.
Governor Mckinney was strongly IN
/ favor Of the guarantee-company system
of bonding the Commonwealth officers.
| and in one of his messages urged vigor-
! ously that il tie adopted.
The stanton Nindicator it should be
! said. refers especially to county treas
urers. and in support OF the position II
| takes. declares that i'm the four years be-
| tween February. 1883. and February. 1S'2.
/ the number Of treasurers who owed a
/ balance 10 the State of Virginia rose from
/ 9l7 10 d. ana the balance due rose from
/ Si5j. CDSl3 to $50 215.4l.
! To- this connection it may be stated that
the late Senator rarnsberger was. during
/ the two last sessions OF the Legislature
| largely instrumental In causing careless
AMI dilatOry treasurcrs to settle prompt
| IA. At tli- beginning Of each session he
| called for statements Of the arrearageS
Of the treasurers. and this very fact
stirred up those who were delinquent.
/ The Senators contention was that care
l,ssness and unbusinrsslke methods often
caused the best and the most conscien-
] uouS of men to get behind and that
/ his course would prove To be as much i'm
] tho interest of the treas,rers as In the
interest of thu Commonwealth. And so
/ IL proved.

Mr.. Miller, the Commissioner or Internal
Revenue, is reported by some OF the
papers TO be in favor OF supporting the
government by direct taxation; but the
report does him injustice. What he
means is explained by himself as fol-
lows:
II believe that before many years have
elapsed the internal revenue bureau or
the Treasury will become the great cot
lection agency of the government. i nave
no hesitation in saying tnaj, in my op:n-
ion, this will prove much more satisiac-
tory than the present method of relying
upon customs for a great portion Of the
money required by the government. The
people have already learned that they
pay all the taxes themselves. and the
next thing they will find out is that the
more direct these taxes are the better u
will be for the taxpayers and the govern
ment. Internal taxes are more direct ana
more satisfactory in every respect than
a tax on imports"
The Constitution Of the United States
provides in so many words that no capt
tation or other direct tax shall be laid
unless in proportion to population. That
is to say, the poor State Of Virginia shall
pay az much direct tax az the richest
State in the Union. having no more popu-
lation than she has.

Cu,,uu-Day ut Atlanta.

The pauers discussed the question how
long the platform Of a Democratic Ma
tional Convention was binding upon
members of that party. Nobody was
empowered 10 answer the question and
so the matter was never settled. We
are reminded of this question by one
which is raised because AT Atlanta so
many preparations have been made for
a Cuban-day. The New York Journal
Of Commerce settles this Cuban question
in short order. II says:
"a Few months ago Texas banker

that he had been asked 10 receive funds

and asking what his duty was; he de

According To several newspaper reports
