INTERESTING EXPERIMENT
]. 8. Scott contemplates Breeding
Thoroughbred Mare to Highly Bred
Trotting Stallion.

John B. Scott Of this city, staunch
supporter of thoroughbred blood in the
trotting horse, intends trying an inter
esting experiment in breeding this
spring.
Mr. Scott owns a three-year-old mare
by the name of Barine She is of
thoroughbred blood, sired by Iroquois,
the great Derby winner, out of a mare
by Longfellow Barine he contemplates
breeding to his stallion Ell Palo, who
was sired by the half-thoroughbred Pa
10 Alto; dam by Gen. Benton; second
dam the dam of Norval, 2.14%, and the
third, fourth and fifth dams all thor
oughbreds.
Many would consider that such breed
ing would be inclined to overthrow the
trotting inclination. There may be dan
ger, but, on the other hand, the chances
Of producing superior animal for
breeding are very great

DiNGLEYiSM OPERATING.
New England WorkinGmcn sunerino
from Protection.

The industrial condition in New Eng.
land is far from favorable. Great dis
content is prevalent in that section at
this time. when general reduction of
wages in the cotton mills is going into
effect. In Some instances the strike is
resorted to. although. in a general way,
this step is regarded as more desper-
ate than acceptance OF proposed reduc-
tions. The workingmen are not in
position now TO afford the luxury of
strike. and it is likely that the most will
be made of bad situation through
keeping at work at the lower wages Of
fered.
1t Is fair TO say. we suppose. that the
condition of things Industrial in New
England constitutes itself very bad
showing for the principle Of protection
for American workingmen. In the early
days of the operation of the Dngley
law. the promised advantages Of that
statute. in so far as labor is reaping
them, are not materializing. 1t is
widely IL not generally believed that
the power TO benefit the labor elements
attributed 10 robber tariffs does not
belong to them and that the declaration
that they have such power is mere pre-
tense. humbug. sham. At any rate,
this theory. il il be no more. is borne
out in the state OF affairs that exists in
New England. where Dinghy protec-
tion for labor has been weighed and
found wanting. In fact. there is no rea-
son to suppose that Dingleyism is maxi
ing more favorable impression to-day
than McKinlcyism created seven years
ago.-Birghamton On. Y.) Leader.
