COMMENT AND OPINION.

UColumn after column of figures
prepared by the treasury department
could be given to prove that the re-
publican party has been true to all of
it's pledges.-Towa State Register.
UKansas is in line. The Kansas re-
publicans said at their state conven-
ton that the national administration
was all right sin peace and in war"
and that there was nothing the matter
with McKinley.-Troy Times.
yThat is misleading dispatch
which describes the state conventions
of democrats. populists and silver re-
publicans in Michigan as dividing the
Offices" What they did was to divide
the nominations. The republicans will
retain the offices.-Boston Journal.
DOregon republicans have battered
down the democratic Notifications in
that state. 1t is a notable triumph
The republicans were opposed by per-
haps the most formidable fusion in the
history of that state. 1t was composed
not only of democrats and populists.
but of silver epublicans.-American
Tribune.
1.-THE democrats, populists and sill
YER republicans in Nebraska will fol-
low the example of their friends in
Oregon by fusing to beat the repub-
Leans. AS result they are merely
likely to expose their own weakness
and prove the strength of their advcr-
saries. as their friends in the Pacific
state did.-Chicago Tribune.
UThe sound money democrats OF
Pennsylvania remark in their address
that the adoption of the gold stand
ard in every leading country has been
attended by an ample and increasing
supply of gold for all the requirements
of trade. This wel!-ascertained fact
has spoiled large assortment of silver
arguments.-St Louis Globe democrat
UThat the gold standard has placed
this country's credit higher than any
other nation is eviderced by the fac,
that we are now borrowing money for
three per cent. interest. No other ma
ton on earth can borrow 1t for less
Ore of the Chicago banks has even
offered to take 800, OGc,o30 in bonds al

government paid seven per cent. in
terest for its loans.--Iowa State Regis

The faculty of keeping ones head in
an emergency is not too common. A
young Philadelphia elocutionist has it
to perfection, says the Record of that
city, and few days ago it neatly
saved her from an embarrassing situa-
ton. She was reciting professionally,
and her work had called forth wild ap-
plause. She was warm and tired, how
ever, and when just few lines into an
encore number, she knew that a GER
tain place her memory would fail her,
and that she would stumble and fall
Her wits answered quickly Before
coming to the breaking point, she sud-
denly stopped and addressed her au-
ditors: "Isee byyour faces that many
of you have heard this piece before. l
do not like to repeat, so, with your per-
mission, l will try another number"
Some magnanimous persons answered:
'No, no. Go ahead" But the young
lady was obdurate, and the people of
that audience now consider her the
queen of all elocutionists."

The Adlrondack Mountains.

The heart of this wonderful region Of
mountains, lakes, and streams is traversed
by the New York Central & Hudson River

with their location; it has also issued large

The largest scientific globe ever made
has just been completed at Lincoln, ILL.,,
by George Christian Schneider. Mr..
Schneider began work on January s.,
1895. On March 81, 1895, the globe was
finished. He had bought maps and at
lases to the cost of $500. He worked in
all $500 hours. The result of his pa
tiept expenditure of time, money learn
ing and skill is the most exact, most
comprehensive globe ever made. 1t is
Is feet in circumference at the equator.
1t is so inches in diameter. The founda-

varnish half an inch thick, and the
whole is painted over many times.

One of the most admirable features
of this war is the generous appreciation
by all of the bravery of each. Every
commodore has boosted of Dewey, and
every man in the navy has praised Bag

have been spoken by those who, ac-
quainted with the dangers, knew how

Horses in Demand.

That horses are once more in de-
mand, and at good prices, is matter
of rejoicing among owners and deal
ers. There was popular verdict that
these animals were being crowded out
by electricity and many breeders ac-
cepted it as final; but the war changed
all this and horses suitable for cavalry
or artillery service have quickly
doubled in value Prior to our active
troubles with Spain, says the Detroit
Free Press, the government bought
few horses, except to supply losses, and
had them furnished by contractors.
Now the demand is large and impera-
tive, the result being that government
agents are sent direct into the open
market. Less than three months ago
the price paid was from $50 to $40 and
now it ranges from $3.50 to $3.50. One
thing developed through the changed
situation is the fact that the large sub
stitution of electricity for horse pow
er had greatly decreased the number
of horses fit for army uses. This made
it necessary to lower the standard of
excellence before insisted upon and
now the agents are authorized to pur-
chase any sound horse between five
and eight years old, and standing from
1874 to 1874 hands in height. Color has
ceased to be considered at all, and
yet, with all these concessions, 1t is
difficult to meet the demand. One
thing the government will not have is
horse that has been locked, so that
those who have shortened the tails of
their horses in order to sell them in a
fashionable market must still depend
upon the customers to be found there
and can profit little from the advance
in prices induced by the war. The
army horse requires tail that can be
used just as nature intended, and
those who have been so foolish as to
deprive the noble animal of this pro-
lection will not be over-burdened with
sympathy because they cannot profit
now as do more considerate owners
who have horses that meet the require
ments of the government. If the war
does away with this silly and cruel
practice the horses that fall in battle
will not have died in vain.
