ALCOHOL IN HORSES.

The sporting man Of the Providence Or
IL Journal has broken into the editorial
columns Of that paper and let himself
loose in a wall under the title of ''The
Passing Of the Horse" Our contempo-
rary's horseman labors to convince him
self and the public that trolley cars, IL
cycles. horseless carriages, steam travel
ling threshng machines, &c. to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, the horse is not
passing; but the tone of sadness that
runs through his outburst proves conclu-
sively that ne entertains the gravest Of
doubts on the subject.
However had he been keeping up with
the procession of science, his article
would have been a paean OF eXultation.
lie evidently was not aware that learn
ed physician had discovered that the dis
position to imbibe Spirits" especially
the inherited tendency, can be counter
acted by incubation with virus derived
from horses that have been dosed copl-
ously with alcohol. The discovery. 20
are Informed. was the result Or investiga-
lions, which enabled the physician TO es-
tablish a peculiar susceptibility OF all or
ganic forms, down 10 the protoplasm, end
even of inorganic substances. TO alcohol
lie found. with the aid Of microscope
that the introduction of alcohol was in
variably followed by peculiar movements
1t has been contended that resort 20 o
microscope is not necessary 20 den
strate that the introduction Of alcohol
in sufficient quantities. invariably fol-
lowed by peculiar movements. But that
aside. The point is that If the taste for
alcohol is as widespread, and the Inherit
ed tendency is as long running and as
powerful as some contend. In order TO
ensure a perfectly sober world we shall
need az virus-producefs all the horses
that can be raised for generations 10
come it is true that both public obser-
walton as 10 the effects OF alcohol and
the learned Doctors microscopic study
justify the conclusion that the horses Of
the future will have n razzle-dazzle gait,
but they will be horses all the same. SO
we would bid our lugubrious Providence
sporting contemporary take heart and
be- cOmforted. We think the learned
doctors discovery establishes beyond
question that the horse is not likely to
pass. In fact. what with the demands
Of science and under the Doctors theory
OF horedity. hereafter the average horse
is likely To have all he can do TO stay
where he may happen to be.

EIIysOn for the senate.

(SOuth Boston News)
Speaking of a successor 10 Senator Mar
tin It appears TO US that no one could
fill the bill more acceptably than Hon j.
Taylor Ellyson, of Richmond. Besides
possessing qualifications equal to any
one whose name has been mentioned, IL
seems that the time has about arrived
when the Democratic party Of Virginia
should manifest its appreciation of sir.
Ellyson's great service in the past by
cCnferrlng upon him just such an honor.
- far as we are aware, Mr.. Ellyson mas
never asked anything at the hands of his
party. outside OF Richmond, where his
people delight to honor him, except the
nomination for Governor. which, by 'pri-
GRITTY of claim" was rendered TO Hon. j.
Hoge Tyler.
Mr.. Ellyson's great ability as n party
leader has long been recognized. Time
and again as chairman Of the State Exc
cutivc Committee has he led the Demo-
cratic host TO battle and to victory, and
now il would seem that the Democrats cf
Virginia could not do more graceful
act than to send Taylor Ellyson TO the
United states Senate. where, as In every
other position he has filled, he would DO
honor to old Virginia
