The Use of Coal Tar.

The variety Of useful products
obtained In the laboratory from
coal tar is amazing. This substance,
formerly thrown away as worthless,
serves the purposes of the synthetic
chemist admirably, inasmuch as it
is very elaborate organic com
pound, very cheap and containing a
great variety of elements. 1t has
furnished hundreds of new and vala-
able medicines, particularly auti-
fever remedies. From it are OBJ
tanned the anillne dyes, which give
all the colors Of the rainbow. Ami
line itself is colorless, its salts hav-
ing the brilliant hnes. From coal
tar also saCcharIne and dulcine have
been derived. Each of them is more
than 200 times as sweet as sugar,
the latter being more pleasant to
the taste.
Formerly no dye material exceed
eel madden in commercial lmpor-
lance. II was the basis of nearly all
dyes, and the root from which it
was obtained was grown on a great
scale in Europe and ASIA. But all
zarln obtained from coal tar has de-
stroyed this agricultural industry by
driving the plant out Of The market.

speaking, the artificial indigo has

Battle of the Horses.

ne IOllOWlHS TeIndTkaDlo sloII
is told by an old cavalry officer in
the Detroit Free Press;
"Just at shutdown, and while we
were at supper, drove of wild
horses numbering lightweight sud,
denly emerged from Thatcher's pass
and deployed on the level ground
of the valley. They emerged from
the pass in single file led by a spot
ted stallion whose. name reached
almost to his knees and whose tail
touched the ground when he was
at rest. Of the remainder of the
herd about thirty were fine animals.
Three or four were recognized as
cavalry horses which had been ahan-
doned on the march, and twice that
number had collar marks to prove
that they had stampeded from some
immigrant train.
"Fhen clear of the pass they
formed IN line and advanced upon
US to within quarter of mile.
We had seventy five horses at the
lariat pins, and for half an hour we
had all we could do to prevent
stampede. Every animal seemed
enraged at the sight of the free herd,
and the captains Kentucky stallion
acted as if possessed by a fiend.
cat last we drove the free herd
down the valley, but our horses
continued very restless all night. At
dawn the wild horses again appeared
mile below us, and, on the instant,
every animal in camp stampeded.
They broke through the free herd
in solid wedge. Then the two
herds turned facing each other at a
distance of about three,quarters of
mile.
'Then we witnessed something
which only oayalryman will credit.
Our horses fell into double line and
dressed to the right as perfectly as
If trooper had occupied each sad
die, and. while we looked, the lines
suddenly moved forward on the
charge. When they swept past us
the alignment was absolutely per-
feet, with the captains horse on the
right, and leading by about twenty
feet
"The line of wild horses bent and
waved, but did not break until
struck. 1t was like striking a drum
head with sledge hammer. I be-
Iieye that fully forty horses went
down under the shock, but all except
four were quickly on their feet again.
From this time on 1t was a melee,
the whole drove circling around, and
each horse biting and kicking and
displaying such ferocity as to aston
ish US. The mob fought past us
down the valley and back, and right
IN front Of the camp the climax came.
The battle had been raging half an
hour when the spotted stallion hob.
bled out of it on three legs and bleed,
ing from half a dozen wounds, and
that seemed to take the pluck out of
his followers. Some ran up the
valley and some down, but of the
Lightweight only tifty-seven got
away.
"When the hottest of it was over
we dashed in and secured horse
here and there, and in this manner
We finally got hold of the last one,
which was the captains. Of the
seventy-fve only five had escaped
scot free. Every one of the others
had been bitten and kicked, and
twelve of them were so crippled as
to be worthless.
"There were seven dead and thir,
ty.six crippled horses on that battle
field when hostillties ceased, and Of
the ffty-seven wild horses which
made their escape many were limp
ing badly"

Dishonest Elections.

There is no longer any room for
doubt that frauds of the Old-time di-
mansions were committed in the recent
elections in several Southern States.
Testimony to this effect comes from
prominent Democratic papers in Vir-
ginia, North Carolina and Tennessee,
As regards those States. The Rich
mond Times says THE Democratic
losses in the white counties tof Vir-
ginia were Offset by manipulating
the baliOt-box in the black districts. >
y similar report with respect to Ten
nessee is made by the Nashville Ban
ner." The ''Cou:icr-Journal" says
it believes mckinley has carried
Kentucky by 10000 plurality" yet
his lead on the face Of the returns IS
put at only 200 or 800.
Nor is the plea by which these ''ir-
regularities'' were once defended now
valid. The terrible wrong of these
fraudulent election methods is becOm-
ing more apparent every year, since
there is no longer the fear of negro
supremacy to be offered as an excuse
for this lawlessness and crime. :
Force-billism is dead for good in this
country. and everybody in the South
knows it. The St. Louis Republican
Convention did not mention any leg
islation of this sort, and President
elect Mckinley, in his letter of accept
ance, took strong ground against
every thing which would cause see
tional irritation. In Republican pol
icy hereafter there will be no sectional
lines or distinctions.
The Republicans carried four of the
eX-slave States-Delaware, Maryland,
West Virginia and Kentucky. If hon
est elections had beer held they would
probably have carried at least two
more-Nirginia and Tennessee. The
latter State has been Il iiagrant sinner
in election frauds recently. 70" Evans,
the Republican. who was elected Gov
ernor two years ago. was cheated out
ofthe Office, and many fairminded Dem
ocrats think the recent frauds are re

by these ra~scalities will be the States
themselves. The entire country reads

ically disfranchise one-half of its cit

A Question of Fair PLAY.

1t is not to be doubted that the Re-
publicans in Congress are entitled to
the control of legislation, without any
obstructive opposition. The people
have declared by an unprecedented
majority in favor of the application
of the principles and policies of the
st. Louis platform to the work OF
restoring the prosperity of the coun-
try. This decision is binding upon
all parties. The Republican victory
was honestly won. after one OF the
most vigorous and exciting campaigns
in our history, and it is the duty of
those who we're beaten to accept the
situation in goodfaith. 1t is a question
of fair play. of giving the victors full
opportunity to put their doctrines and
purposes to a practical test. If they
are right. then the times will improve
and everybody will be benefited: and
if they are wrong, then the political
advantage will go to the other SIDE
and the popular judgment will be
reversed at the next election. This is
the theory of our system OF govern
ment. The verdict of a majority OF
the people carries with it the idea that
the thing decided upon shall have a
just and reasonable trial. All kinds
OF factious and spitefGl proceedings
thus become in a sense unpatriotic.
and there is no justification or excuse
for them.
The Republicans askin this instance
only the chance to show what they can
do for the promotion OF the general
welfare, and to stand or fall by their
success OF failure in that respect. 1t
is gratifying to observe that several
of those who have heretofore figured
as obstructionists are now disposed
to pursue a better course. Congress
