Be Merciful.

"Our Pleasure Horses" is the title of
a pamphlet written by Sir Edwin Sulli.
van and published in England which
contains some of the most forcible
protests against the ill treatment OF
horses ever offered by any writer on
that subject. The following extract
will receive the endorsement of every
lover OF the horse:
"For fifty years." he SAYS, "I have
more or less lived with horses: all nv
greatest enjoyments in life have been
connected with them. have owned
all sorts and kinds; / have found
them. with few exceptions, the gen
tlest, the least obstinate, the least
wicked, the most grateful OF all do
mestic animals; they are the most
willing and obedient servants: thew
will nearly always try to do what
their master wishes them To do, If only
they can understand what it is: but
how can horse possibly understand a
rider or driver who does not under
stand himself?
Whenever you see disagreement
between a horse and a man, whether
IN the hunting field, on the road. in
the saddle. or in harness you NAV al
ways bet 10 to loo to 1.-THE horse
is right and the man wrong-always,
always. always! The horse, unless
goaded to madness, always preserves
his instinct; but the man besotted
with drink or blinded with passion,
does not preserve his reason.
81 have watched the treatment of
horses for half a century, and swear
that L believe that not above one
blow In every thousand that horse
receives is deserved or has any use
whatever, but is entirely the result of
the cruelty or indifference, or stupid-
lty OF the man. To thrash horse for
nothing is mere wantonress, because
he does not Immediately do what his
driver wishes him to do, without being
In the slightest degree able to instruct
him what that is, is mere savagery."
Another English author in an adj
mlrable article, congratulates the hui
name public on the change horseless
carriages will make in the suffering of
horses now used for the purpose of To-
comotion, and says: "The usage of
the horse in our so-called civilization,
has reached pitch of sordid deform-
ity which, even if regarded solely
from the point of view of the artist,
makes it impossible to advance any
valid argument against the horseless
carriage. However unromantic such
mechanical conveyance may be, it
will at least save us from the unseen.
ly sights that now outrage every sense
OF beauty, decency, and humaneness.
The horseless carriage will not be
recklessly overloaded. it will not be
cursed, and thrashed, and wrenched
out OF its natural shape by way of an
outlet for the savage temper of its
driver, Tor curiously enough, the life.
less machine will be treated with far
more respect, and in a far more ra-
tional spirit, than the living animal,
and the conductor who should ill.use
an electric car, as horses are now i'll
used, would be promptly conveyed to
the nearest police cell or lunatic asy-
lum."

Bimetallism.

Speaking of the necessity OF decisive
action, one way or the other, on the
coinage question the Seattle Times
we'll says:
eve submit that the time has come
for this question to be disposed of by
this country one way or the other. If
we are as a nation to have and main
tain the single gold standard, let us
say SO in manly and straightforward
way. Let the political parties cease
playing with great issue and take a
definite position upon it. End the
matter some way. Either say that we
will 60 ahead and coin oliver as we
coin gold, or else say that the pursuit
of bimetallism is will-o'-the- wisp
chase and ought to be abandoned for
good and all. Agitation that is fruit
less does no good, but an immense
amount OF harm.
We believe that the silver men will
be doing patriotic duty if they force
the issue upon their respective parties.
Let them insist upon an answer rs
definite as words can make it. Let
them compel their respective. conven-
tons to get down from the fence on
one side or the other. When this is
done the silver men will know their
strength and can decide whether or
not it is worth while 10 make cam
paign on that issue alone. We want
to see the matter disposed of some
way. If we are to have gold stand.

WILL WONDERS NEVER CEAsE?-
One OF the latest patents granted by
the Commissioner of Patents at
Washington, is device for lifting
ones hat in saluting lady, or some
dignitary for whom you wish to mani
fest an unusual respect. The patentee
is resident OF this State, and halls from
that enterprising little city. Spokane.
When attached to the ordinary head,
it relieves the wearer of the manual
labor of lifting its hat when he meets
an acquaintance and his hands are
otherwise engaged. All he has TO do
to accomplish this is to slightly nod.
The motion starts the machinery,
which lie in the interior OF the tile.
The hat is suddenly hoisted about one
foot above the head, on an apparatus
like that attached to a self-dumping
coal cart. Then, after remaining at
rest a moment, it describes a semi
circle and settles back on the craninm.
The advantages OF this device are
manifest upon slight rejection. A
man loaded down with packages may
salute as gracefully as if both hands
were free. The dude may suck the
head OF his cane while his hat is de-
scribing the parabola Which indicates
his adoratio of the fair sex in general
and the one that fills his eye in par
ticular. The candidate for Office may
have his derby" perform a constant
hula-huia" in obeisance to the much.
beloved as-election- day-approaches
voter. And those afflicted with
chronic laziness may be enabled to
pass for a model of politeness with
the least possible expenditure Of
muscle and Drawn.

The authorities here are of the
opinion, from the description, that
the two tramps who killed Sheriff
Rogers near Benson are the men who
held up and robbed u man named
John Nelson, near TT. Ripley last
week. The crime was committed in
Grow Wing county, and the author
tiles here had no right to issue a
warrant for their arrest. Nelson
claimed that after he was assaulted
and robbed his assailants went in
the direction OF Brainerd. Chief Roy
thinks he was mistaken, for the next
day, before he knew OF the 1T. Ripley
robbery, he drove two men out Of
town that closely Tailed with Mel
sons description and also with the
description given in the papers of the
men who killed Sheriff Rogers. Chief
Roy drove them across the railroad
bridge, and it is probable that they
went over the Little Falls & Dakota
to G]enwood, and in that way
reached Benson. One of them ear
ried a rifle. The man, Matthews,
who swore out the warrant which
Sheriff Rogers was attempting to
serve when killed, is the father OF
l.. B. Matthews, of this city, and
Of G. A. Southland, also
Of this place. Both are members OF
the cigar manufacturing company OF
G. A. Southland & Co. They speak
highly of Sherif! Rogers as u bra re
officer, and express the hope that his
slayers will be caught and punished
for their crime. .
