five years ago. l say four or five years
because. for that length Of time, there
has been a let-up in breeding. The
demand for stations is increasing every
day, and they are scarce. This shows
that people are going back to breeding.
Meanwhile, a good many horses will be
dying off and going out of use 1t re-

to useful condition; that is, you must
allow for one year in the mare and
four years to raise him."

Yes. I do" he replied. And right
there you ought to let the people know
which are the best horses for them to
breed. The best horses that can be
bred are the heavy draught Normans
and Clydes.

There was a drove of f1fty-five mules
being exercised. Mr.. Brown was asked
concerning these, and whether there
was a market at the Midway for them.
NO" he replied. THAT seems to be
an odd lot, which were consigned to
somebody from Iowa. People up this

good in mud Or snow. He works well
enough on dry ground, or on the road.

Next Saturday at special term Judge Willis

I'VE have now collected about sos, 900 of

be forthcoming by the end of week. 1
think I am justified in saying that the bank
will reopen. 1t will take few weeks after
the court makes its order before the bank
reopens. This is to allow the bank examiner
to make examination OF the banks assets.

Pain is something we are afraid Of. All
our life is spent in efforts to Zee from its
hateful presence. Anything which promises
to free us from its clutch is welcomed.
Beecham's Pills are opposed to pain. They
alleviate physical distress with the utmost
safety. Not an opiate, yet by virtue of their
cleansing power they relieve more than half
of the different kinds of pain from which men
and women suffer. They create habit. nor
do they upset the stomach or bowels. They
are unique Pills, in that they stop pain and
cure disease at the same time. % cents a box

majority of the citizens do want the law
enforced, but the officers are SO slow in
melting out the justice that the law re-
quires or the case demands that many re-
frain from making complaint. If the
people knew that the officers would do
their whole duty in enforcing the law
there would be 10 lack of proof, and
many disgrsceful scenes aud much bitter
anguish would be avoided.
TIA law, with the violation OF which
the officers are not in sympathy. is
violated they do not wait to know the
sentiment OF the people but proceed to
business. think it best to enforce the
law to the letter, and then if so obnox-
ious to the people, repeal it. / believe
the better the enforcement, the more re-
spect people will have for it, and for
those whose duty it is to enforce it.
Already the temperance banners are

People of the United States will
know who is responsible for the delay
and inaction in currency legislation.
The republican party promised a re-
form in the tariff and a currency re-
form. 1t carried out its tariff pledges
very promptly, and there has been a
disposition to criticise the fact that it
did not take equally prompt action on
the currency. The recent votes
in the Senate on the resolution
declaring that United States bonds
should be paid in silver coin show
the real situation and the real
cause of the slow progress that
has been made in regard to currency
reform by the republican party. The
votes on that proposition-to pay the
United States bonds in silver-have
shown beyond question that the re-
publican party does not control the
Senate of the United States in behalf
of it's sound money principles, and it
cannot therefore be held responsible
for the delay in redeeming this pledge
as it did redeem its pledge in behalf
of the tariff.

Loves Maine, but Secs Her Faults.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. l, 1898.
To the Editor of The american:
When l was boy and lived at Bass
Harbor, Maine, we used to mix rockwell
with manure and use it as a fertilizer.
Our largest crops were gathered in the
spring before planting time, when we
hauled of the annual crop OF rocks. l
often wondered if there was not some
land where there was not two rocks to
one handful of soil. Every time
steamer passed going west, longed to be
on her, and at last on the twenty fifth of
March, 1S49, the day was sixteen years OF
age, l left and have never been back. Not
that l love Maine less, but l love Cali
fornis more.
l have heard that heaven consists in
"knowing what you want and being sat
isfied with what you have", and know
ing a good thing when l see it this
country is good enough for me.
Some old Calfornians used to hesitate
telling some OF the truths concerning our
climate and productions, fearing their
veracity might be Questioned; but now,
since the convention Of Christian En-
deavorers last year, there is hardly town
Of any Importance in the United States
that does not contain some mild-man-
nered gentleman, or sweet-faced Chris
tian woman, who stands ready to en-
dorse statements that were once consid
cred fables.
This is our jubilee year. send you
copies OF the Christmas and jubilee
editions OF the San Francisco Call, and
hope they will be acceptable. They tell
all the story OF our wonderful resources
and growth, but newspapers cannot do
justice to the climate-you have to live in
it to fully appreciate its beauties.
The nearest get to trip 'down East"
is to visit my cousin, Mrs. Abbie Cleve-
land, who takes THE AMERICAN. We
sit down and discuss the news from the
different towns, and though we are far
away we learn all about who has had a
arbuncle, and who contemplates build
ing an addition to his chicken house
in he spring, and we find ourselves back
in Maine.
When l come on earth again l hope to
be able to visit Bar Harbor in the summer
time.

The President and members of the
cabinet are 10th to accept the general
idea that Germany, in shutting out
American fruits, even partially, and
III threatening to shut out American
horses, is acting upon a general plan
OF tariff retaliation, but if the official
investigation now being made shall
show that such is the case, action will
be taken that will be sure to cause
deep regret on the part of Germany.
No country on earth is so well fixed
to play the game of commercial retail
lation as the United States. Our am
oassador to Germany has already
gwen the German government a hint
OF our willingness to play the game
with any country that makes the first
move against US, and the indications
are that the hint will be sufficient to
convince the Kaiser of the wisdom of
prudence.
