TIE SENATE ON HAWAII.

Senator Davis, of Minnesota opened
the discussion in the Senate on Tues
day on the question of annexation of
Hawaii He admitted that the popu-
lation of the Islands is not such as
would be desirable i'll All American
State, but argued that the advantages
to be derived from annexation SO far
outweigh this one element as to rem
der it of comparative insignificance.
The location of these Islands, Sena-
tor Davis stated, makes them of great
Importance, situated midway in the
Pacific Ocean, and it must be evident
to all that they will play an important
part in the future in controlling the
trade of the Orient; we can get rid of
them at anytime if we find their pos
session burdensome, while it will tie
extremely difficult to gain possession
of them after some European power
has stepped in where we now have
the opportunity.

Too Much "Wafting."

Ezra Stiles, president of Yale college,
1885, was ono OF the most learned men
OF his day He was always n student. He
took up Hebrew after he was 40. He knew
Greek and Latin thoroughly and vel
coined Dr. Franklin to New Haven in an
offhand Latin Grafton. Among his lin
guistic studies were the Chaldee, Syriac,
Samaritan, Arabic, Coptic and Persian
languages.
He corresponded with Indian Parsees,
was something Of an electrician. some
thing of IA mathematician, something OF q
chemist, something of u theologian, and
loved to indulge in political speculations
which. strangely for a New England par
son of that generation, were full Of breezy
democratic optimism. Ho mapped out an
ideal commonwealth, which he confident
~ expected to appear on American ground,
of which Chancellor Kent said, in Phi
Beta Kappa address, that 1T was far su-
perior to the schemes sketched by Milton
or Locke or Hume"
President Stiles was not q large man,
nor had he an imposing presence. But he
loved to wear big wig much becurled
and WAS fond of ceremony. Though q
prolific writer, he published little, but left
which are preserved at Yale.
a fragment, quoted by Donald G. Mitch,
ell In his American Land and Letters,
shows that even in those days spread
eagleism" flourished. Eulogizing George
Washington in an election sermon, he says
Thy fame is of sweeter perfume than
Arabian spices in the garden of Persia. A
Baron dc Steubcn shall watt its fragrance
to the monarch of Prussia. A Marquis dc
Lafayette shall watt 1t to far greater
monarch and diffuse thy rcnown through
out Europe. Listening angels shall catch
the odor, watt 1t to heaven and perfume

Better than fortune teller predictions
is the table recently prepared by u stats
tician by which one can foretell the prob
able age Of ones future helpmeet-that is
to say, he has tabulated tho age at which
men at various stages in their life prefer
their wives to be. Young men of Is and
10 years, it seems, generally select wives
OF their own age, but with increasing
years comes wisdom, and at 20 a man pre-
fers woman of from u to "a years. This
indeed seems to be a very desirable age for
an unmarried woman, for it remains the
favorite for the man in search of a wife
until he has passed his twenty ninth year.
At 80 he likes best the women who are
anywhere from five years to one year
younger than himself, and he is constant
in this preference up to his fortieth year.
Then he is willing that she shall be as
much as ten years younger than himself,
but will not have her If she be his equal in
years, an opinion which he holds for half a
decade. At from 40 to 90 he looks for less
disparity, prefcrring women from 40 to 40,
and in the next five years he has the same
choice. Thereafter he prefers "a woman ten
years younger than himself.-San Fran
cisco ArgOnaut.

ported bill which is purely local
one, but the provisions of which might
and should be applied to every sec
ton of the State of NJ lryland which
may be threatened with like series
of calamities as those which followed
in the wake OF the outlaw races in our
sister county.
The bill, in substance, makes it III
lawful to wager, or to buy or sell pools
in any part of Cecil county, on the re-
suit of any race in or out of the county.
1t goes further and forbids any per
SOB to occupy or allow to be used any
structure, grounds or vessel for the
purpose, definite or indefinite, OF bet
ting on any race. sc. 81. The penalty
imposed by the bill, is fine or impri,-
onment, or both in the discretion of
the court.
The bill which is the natural out
growth of reaction of public senti-
ment upon question which doomed
up so formidably rs to become u
prominent factor in the late election,
designs prevention of the recurrence
OF the events which every citizen of
Cecil--and we might almost say of Har-
ford-iS unfortunately familiar with.
To prevent their repetition; for the
harm as already been done and it will
be long while before our sister coun-
ty will fully recover from the dire ef-
feet upon the community which the
events Of the past few months has
occasioned.
Let us take warning in Hartford. 1t
is well-known fact that an attempt
was made by the parties who conduct
the business, to effect Judgement in
this county, and but for the watchful-
ness of those, who with the good of
the community at heart, detected the
scheme, might have inflicted upon us
t lie blight with which Cecil was cursed.
An organic ltion had already been
perfected, and under an alluring and
misleading title; had secured a
charter under the provisions of the
General Law of the State. The long
list, of baueful results which marked
the trail of thesmonster from Iron Hill
to the Susquehanna, will be dupli-
Gated in every county where a loot
hold has been gained, just as it is in
Cecil and Baltimore counties, despite
the efforts of pulpit and press, and will
leave no counterbalancing beneficial
results.
The bill which is to be reported to
the General Assembly by the Com
mittee of S ifety, we presume includes
all of the provisions necessary to pre-
vent repetition of the evils in Cecil.
and as IAN ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure" we trust
that Senator Williams and the gentle
men who represent us ia the House of
Delegates, will be fully on the alert
and see that no such foul blot as the
outlaw races shall stain the fair es-
cutcheon of Hartford upon which we
all look with such pardonable pride.

UNCLE SANS CHARGERS.
How Cavalry Horses Are Selected Eos
the United States Army.

i happened to be at the Preside not
long since when the contractor for furnish
ing cavalry horses to the government sub
mitted several animals to board of army
officers detailed to make the final inspec-
ton. OF the horses presented only one
was rejected and that was on account OF
cold brought about by exposure to drafts
while in transit from the point of prelim
mary inspection to San Francisco.
A preliminary inspection is made at the
place where the contractor purchases the
animals by u representative OF the govern
ment, who generally accompanies the con-
tractor on his horse purchasing trips, thus
avoiding the expense of buying horses
which arc sure to be subsequently rejected
for various defects. At the preliminary
inspection few first class, many fair and
a supcrabundance of indifferent and medi-
OGRE horses are presented. The contractor
informed me that about one of every 80
examined at the preliminary inspection
comes up to the requirements; that he had
travelled for three and four days mt time,
visited horse ranches and looked at several
hundred horses without seeing one that
came up to the specifications. | WAS also
informed that the class of horses required
by the government are getting very scarce
In California, and that many of the cav
airy horses now Mt the Preside were pur-
chased in the states of Oregon and Wash
ington.
Cavalry horses are purchased by the
quartcrmaster' department under the
contract system. Proposals for furnishing
cavalry horses are invited, and the con-
tract is awarded to the lowest bidder. The
cavalry horse must be a gelding of hardy
color, to years old, l511 hands high,
and weigh about !, 200 pounds. He must
be gentle under the saddle, free and
prompt at the walk, trot and gallop; broad
forehead; eyes large and prominent, and
possess perfect vision. He is thoroughly
examined for splints, side bones, ring
bones, curbs, spayins and any trouble, To-
cal or constitutional, which may tend to
shorten his usefulness or render the ami
NAL unserviccahle. The nostrils should be
large and occupy nearly the whole facial
structure. The mouth should be small,
with thin, firm lips. The eyes should be
large and mild, with fine oyelids. The
cars should be delicate and pointed. The
feet should be of medium size, due regard
being given to the size and shape of the
horse, and there should BIO no visible diff
ference in the feet as to size and form.
The tail is more ornamental in well bred
than underlined horses. \ fine silk name
oharncterizes we'll bred horses.
The cavalry horse must be without blem-
ish or defect, sound in every particular.
Literally speaking, 1t is moro difficult for
q horse to get into the cavalry service than
it is for a recruit to enter the army on his
first enlistment.-San Francisco Chron-
iclp
