SWAPPING HORSES.
An Animal That Was Too Hard for
General Grant to Manage.

General Horace Porter, in his Cam
paigning With Grant" tells the fol-
lowing anecdote of his chief during a
ride from Petersburg to City Point
Owing to the heat and dust, the long
ride was exceedingly uncomfortable.
My best horse had been hurt and I was
mounted on bay cob that had a trot
which necessitated no end of Saddle
pounding on the part of the rider;
and IL distances are to be measured
by the amount of fatigue endured, this
exertion added many miles to the trip.
The General was riding his black pony,
JEFF Davis. This smooth little PAGER
shuffied along at gait which was too
fast for a walk and not fast enough
for a gallop, so that all the other
horses had to move at a brisk trot to
keep up with him.
When we were about five miles from
headquarters the General said TO me
In a joking way, You don't look COM
Portable on that horse. Now, ! feel
shout as fresh as when we started
cut"
81 replied: "It makes all the differ
ence in the world General, what kind
of horse one rides"
He remarked: "Oh, all hor scs are
pretty much alike as far as the COM
fort of their gait Is concerned"
'In the present instance" I an
wered, IT don't think you would like
to swap with me, General"
He said at once: "Why, yes; I'd just
as nef swap with you as not" and
threw himself off his pony and mount-
ed my uncomfortable beast, while l
put myself astride OF Jeff.
TIE General had always been a ia
mcus rider, even when cadet at West
Faint. When he rode or drove a
strange horse not many minute:
elapsed before he and the animal
seemed to understand each other per-
fectly. In my experience I have. .nev-
er seen a better rider, or one wflR had
a more steady seat, no matter What
sort of a horse he rode; but onrthis
occasion it soon became evident that
his body and that of the animal were
not always in touch, and he saw that
all the party were considerably
amused at the jogging to which he was
subjected, In the meantime jeff
Davis was passing along with smooth
ness which made me feel as if l were
seated in a rocking chair. When he
reached headquarters the General dis
mounted in a manner which showed
that he was pretty stiff from the ride,
AS he touched the ground he turned
and said with a quizzical look, well,
1 must acknowledge that animal is
pretty rough"

The freetraders will point to that
Fall River episode as an argument
against the claims of the new tarif
rs wage raiser, but that VIII not be
accepted. The competition that forces
es wages down in the New England
cotton mills is home competition. The
southern cotton mills are near the
cotton fields and do not have to pay
the freight charges that the New Eng
land mills do, and this freight charge
must be made up to the operators in
some way or they do business at loss.
The south is the last section that
should point to that cut in wages as
showing the fallacies of the DingIey
tariff, as it is on that tariff that the
largely increased Industrial enterpris,
es of the south are based. Readinst-
Eent will in time restore the New
England labor to its higher demands.
by engaging it upon special lines. But
under the most favorable conditions
there must be decline of the cotton
mill of the northeast.

Some one with an aptitude for con-
undrums wants to know why it is that
the Democratic party for 40 years has
been the persistent advocate of a rot
ten monetary system? Why not lump
that and other things together and
ask why it is that all the fool policies
OF the past half a century have had in
some form or another the endorsement
OF the Democratic party. Or to put it
all together, why is it that the Demo-
cratic party is on the wrong side of
every new question that is proposed
in this country? Why is it that the
Republican party has been the origin
ator of every measure of better gov
eminent in the United States, since
the establihment of that party forty
years ago? These two facts are like
the two pegs in the old Jewish syna-
gogues. on which hung the law and
the prophets.

The government of the United States
has not had good luck in treating with
the Indians. The whole trouble lies
in the treating. The policy that re-
garded the Indian tribe as a nation to
be treated with, the same as some for
elgn government, was wrong in the
beginning. The outcome has been
evil, ouly evil and that continually.
The beginning of better things will
only be possible when that mistake is
acknowledged and corrected. Take
away the whole tribal arrangement
and treat the Indian as a citizen of the
country, paying taxes, holding proper
ty, amenable to the courts and all the
rest.
