Hurrah for the Horse (,

Some time ago it was seriously asked
If the horse would not be displaced by
the trolley, cable and bicycle. 1t really
appeared that there was danger of such
a state of affairs. But the advices would
seem to show that the fear was not we'll
grounded. Reports from Kentucky Cal
ifornia and other fine horse-raising sec
lions are to the effect that the demand
for good horses is strong and increasing,
and that the prices are holding up well.
The best horses cost as much as they
ever gid, and it appears that the number
of people who are anxious to own n
speedy horse is as great as ever. The
times have been tight" for several years.
nevertheless the breeders of fine horses
have not been at a loss for market.
AS a matter of fact, the horse has never
lost popularity. The advent of the troll
ley and the cable in street car propul-
sion displaced many horses and mules in
those especial lines. They We're, however,
a very inferior class of animals, and
when they were put upon the market they
did very little toward breaking prices for
high grade stock. Large, heavy. draught
horses command about as good prices
now as they have ever done, and big
mules are worth about as much now as
they were ten years ago. Neither cables
nor trolleys can be hitched to wagons
AS to the bicycles anti-horse Influence,
1t has been greatly overestimated. The
great majority of bicycle riders were
never owners OF horses, and would prob
ably never have been owners of horses
The wheel Is used by thousands and thou
sands of men and women who had It
not been for that delightful means of To-
comotlon, would have continued to walk
to business, or ride upon the street cars.
They would not have invested the value
of the wheels in horse flesh While the
wheel has captivated the world, 1t has
not made the horse useless It is just as
much a matter OF delight to draw the
reins over a fast trotter as It ever was.
1t would probably be difficult to find n
person who has given up a desirable
horse for the wheel In the great ma.
jority OF instances the wheel has been
added to the establishment. and this
horse is as firmly fixed in his position
as ever before.
There is room for the horse, the wheel,
the trolley and the cable in our complex
affairs. That this is true is evidenced by
facts already noted-that breeders OF
good horses do not lack a market, ana
that prices are about as high as they
ever were.

the war of the American independence.
At the conclusion of the war Copley de-

preference to becoming a citizen of the

with his family, which included a son,
born in America afterward the celebrated
Sir John Copley, who was master of the

ing for the use of the orphans. Father
Urban was in pleasant mood, and was as
happy as a child. He showed his many
callers how rapidly he could read his BIZ

The Gar As a Match Maker.

Apropos of the betrothal of the Princess
Helen of Montenegro to the Prince of Ma
pies, an amusing story is going round con-
corning the car, says an exchange. Mich
olas II, while czarewitch, was present
at a big court ball in st. Petersburg, when
he saw one of the Montenegrin princesses
sitting alone and solitary. The czarewitch
stepped up to her and asked for the homer
of a dance, TO which she assented gladly.
In the course of the dance the young car
ewitch said to her, Would you not like
to be married?" ''Ah, yes" sighed the for
lorn princess, with commendable frank
ness, but there is no one who wants to
marry me-" ooh, nonsense" said he,
II will find some one" So he went to a
nobleman, friend of his, and asked him
the question which he had already put to
the princess. DO you not wish to be mar
ried?" and when the nobleman had some
what hesitatingly answered in the affirm
ative, "then," said the czarewitch, II have
found bride for YOU" and he promptly
introduced him to the Montenegrin prin-
cess, to whom he was shortly afterward
married.

An ExnensIve BODY.


There is one thing in the indianapolis
platform that ought to command general
attention. 1t is the recommendation that
a check be put on the extravaganza Of
congress.
In 4 recent publication OF the treasury
| department the annual appropriations
from 1888 TO 1896 are given. Those who
are not familiar with this subject OF gov
eminent appropriations Will be surprised
at the enormous increase in them, espe-
cially within the last dozen years.
Going no further back than 1910 we find
that in 1910 the expenditures OF the gov
eminent amounted to only about $3o,0O0,-
600 In that year, and as late as 1S46 they
were only a little above that sum, In 1854
they were not more than $4,000, 900 and In
1850 only 81, 900. During the years of
the civil war they were. OF course. very
great, but in that period a normal condi-
tion OF affairs did not prevail. Since 1868
they have averaged about five times as
much as they did before the war. From
1868, however, until 1873 they decreased
pretty steadily, but in the latter year
they were as large as they were in 1867.
Since 1888 there has been an enormous
increase, the last congress appropriating
nearly $5OO,OO0,OOO. In 1885 the approprla-
lions amounted to only about $3.50 for
each inhabltant, but in 1892 they amounted
to $500 per capita
In noticing the treasury statement It
is seen that the expenditures have been
greatly stimulated by the receipts. AS
the receipts have grown congress has
increased the appropriations. Instead of
cutting down the taxes it has adopted
the policy of spending all the money in
sight.
The consequence Of this policy has been
disastrous. When owing to depressed
business and other causes, the revenues
fell off congress could not be brought
to appreciate the necessity for reducing
the appropriations. The present congress
should have reduced the appropriations
greatly. because it was apparent that the
revenues would not meet such expendi-
lures as congress contemplated. But It
did nothing of the kind, and the conse-
quence is that there is now a deficit al
most every month. Owing to the extrava-
CANT appropriations the government is
running in debt constantly.
We shall not hear much about this mat
ter during the present campaign, because
both of the great political parties are
responsible for extravagant appropria-
tions, but 1t is a matter about which a
great deal ought to be said. If the present
congress were more economical Mr..
Mckinley would not now have an ex-
cuse for talking about increasing the
tariff. Cut down the appropriations and
there will be no need of additional tariff
taxation, but cutting down expenses is
one thing the average congressman will
not assist in doing If he can avoid it.

She Had Left Her Money. Too.

A Tioga youth started TO take his best
girl to the city one evening last week, says
the Philadelphia Record. The couple
boarded Fifteenth street car, and when
the conductor came in for the fare the
young man dived down in his pocket for
a couple of nickels. To his horror he dis
covered that his pocket was absolutely
empty. Looking up at the conductor he
blurted out: i've changed my pants and
left my money at home" Then he looked
questioningly at the girl. She shook her
head and murmured: 80 have l." The
conductor grinned. the maiden blushol
and the young man signalled TO stop.

was right, but still seemed to think that
there was nothing in the fact to indicate
that she was a mind reader.
''He came to tell you that he couldn' t

came to tell you that without me it would
be impossible for him to exist. He came
to tell you that death would be his por-
ton if he could not have me for a wife.
But somehow he missed me going out.
