KENTUCKY SADDLE HORSES.
Charm About Them Which is Found
In No Other In America.

IN NO OtneT III AHneTlCd'
Harper's Weekly: Kentuckians have
bred saddle horses for beauty and
is charm about the Ken
lucky horse that no other Amer
lean horse possesses. No other
animals have met in the country exist
in the memory with quite the fascina-
ton Of certain horses / have seen In
Kentucky. There was, for instance, a
few miles from Lexington, roam geld
ing that had this fascination to high
degree, He had the graceful Kentucky
Characterlstlcs-and yet with differ
ence. His beauty appeared particular
ly in the shape Of the Tump and in the
carriage of the tail.
There was an exquisite trick In the
conformation OF the quarters. Charm
ing and very Kentucky" you said as
YOU looked Mt them and yet you felt
that you had never seen quite that be-
fore. 1t was perahps u bold flight
nearer the Kentucky Ideal than you
had seen. The quality of grace was
certainly due to an infusion OF Den
mark grace. The tail was the other
chief beauty. There was an airy grace
in the carriage Of II which reminded you
of the fortunate work Of some archi-
feet OF genius. "What have you done
to him?" said, referring to the grace
full llghtuess with which the tail was
held.
Nothing" said the farmer. "As you
drive out the gate you will see his old
dam tn the pasture to the left, and you
will Sc that she carries Just the same
tail that he does" l did look at the
mare on the way out, and II was So.
This carriage of the tail Is also Den
mark characteristic. 1t Is transmitted
to the Kentucky horse from his Arab
progenitor OF the English thoroughbred,
and that the trait Is due TO the fact
that the hair was not allowed to grow
upon the tail of the Arab horse until
he was five years old; the custom OF
keeping the tall shaved, observed
through many generations, made 1t
thus light ana easily held up,

Mrs. Vanport had washing machine,
indeed, but 1t was human and not wood

mothers health had long been SO bad
that he dared not leave her alone, and
besides, he had found with his great
strength he could earn more at the
washboard than in the field, and all the
time he had been held to be a shift

TO go away from North Pisa and begin

This is about all there Is to tell about
the case OF Cal Vanport, except that he
got well in good time, that he was ever
afterward the most popular man In
North Pisa, and that when Helen
Woodmansle was married Billy Fitch

Suddenly there was cry from the

tongues Of flame began to leap from the
windows. In an incredibly short time
the entire upper part Of the house was

widest confusion. Men and women ran
screaming from the burning structure,
and there were frenzed inquiries for this

John Nagle, editor Of the ManitoWoc
Pilot usually takes q dlspassionate
view of matters OF public concern, and
his opinions are, therefore valuable. In
speaking Of the work Of our solons at
Madison he says:
Ion the whole, the last legisla.
ture did fairly well. 1t did not go
into the work of checking cxtrav-
agence to the extent that it should,
and particularly in providing for re-
trenchment In the conduct OF It's own
sessions. But there has been but little
harmful legislation, and considerable
of merit. The failure to take the
initial step toward an amendment pro-
hibiting public officers from accepting
railway passes, will be dwelt upon with
most critical concern. But the matter
was urged moie rs u redemption of
platform pledge, than measure of re-
form. The people don't give n snap
for the abuse and they are the final
judges"
We hardly agree with Mr. Naglc in
the idea that the people are not CON
cerned about the pass evil, The people
expected the legislature Of 1897, to
remedy this evil, and II we mistake
not, the members who opposed the
passage of the antipass bin will, sooner
or later, realize that they failed to
come up to the full measure Of their
opportunity.

Hon. A. T.. Warden, editor and pro-
prietor of The Waukesha Dispatch,
continues to print bright and newsy
paper; but he greatly mars It's edi-
torial page by the use of language
unbecoming courteous gentleman.
In the last Issue Of The Dispatch, In
speaking of the recent demonstration
OF gold Democrats, in New York City,
he refers to the speakers Cleveland,
Carlisle, Wilson, Edward M. Shepard,
John Dewitt Warner, and others as
"apostate Democrats" who are de-
spsed by their former associates and
ignored by the Republicans He
writes Of the "swelled heads and dis
ordered stomachs" Of these "apo.
tates," and Of their self praise and
Qualification"
The sum of these mems offending Is
that they refused to bow In humble
submission to the will of the leaders
who secured control of the national
convention held In Chicago in july
last.
Up to the time of that conven-
ton, the editor of The Dispatch was
m ardent advocate of the gold stan
dard; but Immediately afterwards
came out In favor Of the free and UNI
limited coinage Of silver at the ratio
of l6 to l. The change, In his opin-
ion, Is his own affair. IL Is his harsh
and unjust censure Of those who re-
fused to change with him, Of which
The Democrat makes complaint.
Progressive journalism has happily
outgrown the spirit which is mani
tested In the article to which reference
Is here made. 1t belongs to u past
age. People have learned that abuse
is not argument. The former has no
place In the columns of newspaper
or anywhere else. Should The Demo
crat, In speaking of silver men, apply
epithets such rs Mr.. Warden keeps In
stock for gold Democrats, 1t could not
claim to be tolerant Of the opinions or
the rights of others. The men whom
Mr.. Warden abuses and he abuses all
gold Democrats in most instances
enjoy In u high degree the confidence
and good will of their friends and
neighbors. 1t is in sadness and not in
anger, that they part company polti.
cally, with their old party associates.
Gold democrats concede that very
many Of those who differ from them,
upon what they regard rs vital issues,
are high minded, conscientious citi-
zens, whom they honor for having the
courage of their convictions, and
whom they are proud to count MS per
sonal friends. They do not follow the
example of the editor Of The Wauke-
sha Dispatch and apply to them such
endearing terms rs apostates, ingrates,
traitors, swell heads, etc, That the
course followed by The Dispatch, in
this regard, does not meet with the
approval of the people, was clearly
shown in the spring elections through
out the country, when political ques-
tions were not at issue, and where
gold men and silver men were alike

To Our Friends and Patrons:

We desire to show in some way
how VERY GRATEFUL we feel
toward our friends. neighbors, and
patrons generally, for their heroic
efforts in trying to save our building,
from ruin by fire, on Tuesday morning,
but words fail to adequately express
the deep feeling Of gratitude that
fills our hearts.
We are badly down: but not dead,
nor completely discouraged; and if
you will continue to encourage and
appreciate our efforts by your ex-
pressions Of sympathy and patron
age, we will eventually get upon our
feet again.

 Owing to the insufficient supply of water the Old Glory mine near Orc Blanco was shut down. Word has been received of heavy rainfall, and plenty of water enabled the re- sumption of work. This mine pays handsome dividends, says the Star, and large force of men is again at work with pick and shovel and the Old Glory has assumed busy aspect.
 The Star learns from II. Harrison, who is in Tucson from Orc Blanco, that Liberty Clark has sold his rich silver mine to California parties for S30,000. MT. Clark has a shipment of ore now en route to Tucson which will net from two to three thousand dol lars. There are about fifteen tons of over S700 ore and there is quite streak of metallic silver in the vein. This is one of the richest silver mines for the amount of development that has ever been known in Arizona.
