A Wen Trained Horse.

Il had horse" said an old army man,
according TO the Denver Field and Farm.
that had belonged once to the Seventh
Cavalry, but he had the 1. c. brand I'M
der his name. so he was out of the sew
Ice. Inspected and condemned. He was
a regular old plug, but he was all l could
get to 80 hunting on, SO / took him. l
rode away out into the plains from the
fort and l saw q bunch of antelope I'm
ally. l got off the horse and dropped the
reins on the ground, expecting the horse
to stand there till l came back. / started
OF toward the antelope, and was sneak
ing along to get a shot, when l looked
round, and III be blamed If that brute
of horse hadn't started off as tight as
he could lope.
:, We'll says I, I guess I'm in for a six
mile tramp home / cursed that horse
to myself for while, and then I went
on. Pretty soon l looked up, and I'm
blessed If there wasn't that horse over
the other side Of that bunch of antelope.
Well, says /, I'd like to know what the
devn that horse thinks he's up 10, any
how Pretty soon he began to circle
around on the other side, and the ante
lope saw him and started off toward me.
] caught on at once, and l lay down and
waited. That old horse cut up the most
surprising antics out there and all the
while he kept working those antelope to-
ward me. By and by they got in range
and got two; darned good luck it was,
too. You see, that horse was an old In
dian hunting pony, and he had been train
ed to do that way. Well l went back to
the post, and everybody wanted to know
how 1t happened 1 had such good luck.
But l didn't tell 'em.
"A few days after 1 took that sam
horse out after prairie chickens. 1t was
the time of the year when the chickens
were flying, and l was riding along. when
all OF a sudden the critter stopped short,
braced himself up and waited-for wha5
l didn't know. But in a second a couple
of chickens flew up ahead of me, and l
was so surprised / didn't shoot "Wen,'
l says, III be switched. Here's a horse
that's not only a hunting horse, but is a
got my gun ready, and the next time he
stopped l was right on hand and dropped
a bird. Well no sooner did that horse
see that bird fall than he galloped off
right to where he fell, and all l had to do
was to reach off and pick it up He
was a great horse, l tell you, and 1 got
lots of good hunting with him "

DIacIsburn's sine,vs of War.

We see it stated in a Frankfort, Ky,
special. published in an organ Of the sill
verites. that the President and Secretary
Carlisle have hit upon scheme to cut
off Senator Blackburn supply Of the
sinews Of war" The story is such an
improbable one. and so little to the credit
of Senator Blackburn, that we wonder
that it found it's way into paper friend
ly to the senator.
The story in substance. is this: Ex-
Representative Phil Thompson of Ken
lucky was employed as a lobbyist by the
Louisiana sugar planters to assist them
in getting an appropriation of 100000
for sugar bounties. In the event of sue
cess he was to have fee of 100000. The
appropriation was made. The treasury
department has not paid the bounties.
the controller of the treasury, Mr.. Bowler,
refusing to authorize their payment. The
ground of the controllers refusal is a
decision of the court of appeals of the
District of Columbia to the effect that
bounties are unconstitutional, and he
doubts his authority to permit the pay
ment of the sugar bounties as long as
that decision stands.
The Frankfort special gives a different
reason why the bounties are not paid. 1t
is that the President and the Secretary
of the Treasury, having discovered that
Col Phil Thompson is to have a 100000
fee. and that part of this fee is TO be
~ In II
ing his campaign for reelection to the
Senate, ordered the payment of the sugar
bounties delayed, in order that Senator
Blackburn might not have the means for
conducting his campaign. Was there
ever a more improbable story? Senators
Caffery and Blanchard certainly do not
believe it, because 1t was reported in our
dispatches yesterday that they had an
nounced that they were going to Gray
Gables to get the President to assist them
in having the bountles paid.
But in what an unfavorable light the
story places Senator Blackburn! AS a
senator he is supposed to discountenance
lobbying, and yet this Frankfort dispatch
puts him in the position Of accepting the
fruits of lobbying.
We do not approve Of Senator Black
burns views on the silver question, but
we hardly think he would use part of
a lobbyists fee to get himself returned to
the United States Senate. The idea that
the President and Secretary of the Treas
ury would be guilty of such meanness
as that attributed TO them is preposterous.
Both the President and secretary are
manly in their political methods. Neither
Of them would take mean advantage of
Senator Blackburn, and it is doubtful If
either has ever attempted, or thought of
attempting to defeat the senator's ambi-
ton. Secretary Carlisle made three or
four speeches in Kentucky not for the
purpose OF preventing Senator Black
burns reelection, but in the interest Of
sound money. The Frankfort story viii
have few believers, except among those
who Gnd satisfaction IN believing it.

The morr-IInrrey Debnte.


II Is. doubtful II there Is a very great
deal OF interest in the debate IN Chicago
on the silver question between Mr.. Horr
and Mr.. Harvey. a few who make a study
of that question understand and appreciate
the points thatare made. hut the average
newspaper reader finds very little in the
discussion that interests him.
As matter OF fact the great majority
Of the people don't care what the relative
position was which silver occupied In our
currency twenty-five or more years ago.
What they want to know. is what result
would follow the opening OF our minis 70
the free. unlimited and independent coin
age Of silver at the ratio Of &c to l.
We take it they want sound money
that is, they want the silver dollar and the
paper dollar kept on a parity with the
gold dollar. Many Of them have had some
experience with a deprecated currency,
and it isn't the kind of an experience they
want repeated.
The silverites pretend 70 believe that if
our minis were opened TO free and unlim-
tied coinage at tho ratio of l6 TO !. the sill
Yer dollar could continue to circulate on
a parity with the gold dollar. They must
satisfy the people it would before they
can reasonably hope TO have their views
generally adopted. They haven't done that
yet, and they are not meeting with much
success in their efforts TO do it. Some of
the ablest OF them have admitted that
il our minis Were opened to unlimited sill
Yer coinage gold would go to a premium.
and that silver would become the stand
ard money. 1t is apparent therefore that
the silverites are divided among them
selves. and that they practically ad-
init that they have no con-
vincing reasons to advance for
the thing for which they contend How
then can they expect success? Do they
expect the people viii follow them blindly?
If they do they are mistaken.
There are a good many who want free
and unlimited silver coinage because they
think it would bring about a depreciation
Of our currency, and that It would be cas-
Ter to pay their debts with that sort of cur
rency. They are not honest. They Dor
rowed sound money and they would pay
in unsound money if they could. The great
majority of tho American people are not
people Of that sort. Hence. until the sill
verltes convince them that our currency
would remain sound if the coinage of sill
yer should be made free and
unlimited, they are not going
to COVE their consent to the
programme of the silverites. and as the
silverites cannot show that we can have
both sound money and free and unlimited
silver coinage, it is quite safe 10 say that
the silvertes are making a fight without
the shadow Of a chance for winning a vic
tory.

Crimes OF Violence I'm the south.
There are too many crimes OF violence
in the south. In. our dispatches yester-
day five were reported from Florida
At Lemon City an ex-tax collector and
his nephew were shot 10 death Wednes-
day by a man who had been insulted IN
a drunken row the day before. The tax
collector Of Bradford county was shot
and killed Thursday by a man who
thought the tax collector had induced his
son 10 leave home, and two men were
assassinated near Brooksyille, Fla.
Wednesday night by unknown parties
There are no more crimes Of violence in
Florida than in any other southern state.
We mention the foregoing cases simply
because they were all reported in our
dispatches yesterday.
We speak Of the southern states par
ticularly. because we are interested in
having a healthier public sentiment in the
south in the matter OF crimes Of violence
There may be as bad a condition Of affairs
in the northern states. or there may be
"a much greater number Of other crimes
in those states In proportion TO their pop
ulation than in the south. but be that
as IT may. what we want in the south is
a public sentiment that would insist upon
a higher regard for human life.
\ day or two ago the Times-Democrat
Of New Orleans declared that it would
be impossible 70 induce immigrants 10
come TO this section in large numbers as
toll f47
to the extent they are now. 1t meant
by that statement that the law against
those who take, or attempt to take, human
life is not enforced as vigorously as it
should be. Courts and juries are too len
lent, and the pardoning power is too often
invoked with success. 1t is seldom that
a person accused Of murder or an attempt
to commit murder is punished, provided
he has influential friends or the means
to make a vigorous defense.
In this state we are just beginning TO
get a good class of immigrants in large
numbers. a large colony is being located
in one Of the northern counties, and
still larger colony, numbering many thou
sands. has been located in two of the
southwestern counties. If we offer the
right kind Of encouragement we shall
have hundreds of thousands Of the most
desirable immigrants in Georgia WITHIN
the next ten years-immigrant who would
make most excellent citizens and who
would add millions Of dollars to the states
taxable wealth. We shall see this move
ment of immigrants checked if public
sentiment does not put the stamp of its
dsapproyal upon crimes of violence Of all
kinds.
There is no good reason why we should
have our progress retarded by com
paratively few men who believe in taking
human life upon the slightest provoca-
ton. Those who carry concealed weap-
ons and use them without having the best
of reasons for doing so, ought to be made
to suffer promptly the full penalty of
the law. The men who set little value
on human life ought to be pushed into
the background and those who encourage
the establishing of schools and churches.
and who are peace-loving. order-loving
and thrifty, should be held in the highest
esteem

1t is said that summer girl at Man
haitian beach has invented a new and
delightful seashore game which she has
named Trilby. Two or more people can
play it. A young woman buries her bare
foot in the sand. and then young man
bets on the exact position of one of her
toes. After the money is up. the bettor
digs his fingers into the sand. If he locates
the toe that he bet on he wins the money.
If he doesn't. which is usually the case.
the pot goes to the owner of the toes,
and the game is begun over again. Any
one can understand at once how simple
and fascinating the game is. There will
be games Of Trilby at Tybee during the
coming week.

The effect of the financial policy advocated

tice of the decline OF taxable values in
certain counties, as shown by returns to

whose ''reviving touch will soon make an
active real estate market all over the coun-
try" and especially in Atlanta, are the re-
suit of the financial policy of the admin

large measure to the fear felt a year or
so ago that the financial policy which the
Constitution is advocating would acquire
a formidable following. 1t is a little sur
prtsing by the way. that the Constitution
should admit that there are any good
times in sight. The free, unlimited and in
