THE Union, belated as usual, has
come around to publishing a lot OF
cackle which has been going the
rounds of the republican papers OF
the state for the past six weeks about
Hon. Ben Il. Gable repudiating the
silver standard of the democratic
party, and resigning from the demo-
cratic state central committee because
Mr.. Ladd made the representations
that he did as TO Mr.. Cables position
at the time of the state central COM
mittee meeting last winter when Mr.
Cable was reelected to a place on the
committee. The fact that Mr.. Cable
has taken part in the work of the
committee since the time that he was
alleged to have resigned, and that but
a short few weeks ago the republican
papers of the state, including the
Union, were having bad spells over
the conference at Springfield with the
democratic leaders. is the strongest
proof that he is not out of harmony
with the party leaders and principles.
Mr.. Cable is democrat, and on what
ever platform the party stands in the
next national campaign he will be
found.

The story comes from Fostoria,
Ohio, of the coming to of veteran
named Matthias Steingruber after be-
ing practically asleep for 50 years,
the only semblance of life manifested
in that time being that ne ate and
drank as usual, but otherwise was
dead to all that was going on about
him. Thursday he was atruck by n
piece of wood and knocked completely
senseless. When he came to he was
wide awake for the first time since
the Mexican war, was amazed at
what had TRANSFERRED in the meantime,
and remarked: The world has gone
so far ahead since j lost track of
things that it is too late for me to
catch up" We do not wish any such
rude awakening in the McConochie

Instead of laying a corner stone at that
time the association will enter into the
possession of a splendid structure in many
ways suited to its work.
The association has purchased from the
club all the gymnasium apparatus, bowling
alley outfit, shuttle boards, lockers, etc,
but the carpets and furniture were all taken
by the club to it's new home on H street.
The association is, therefore, put to the
necessity of refurnishing the building,
which will require several weeks time at
least. 1t is the hope and expectation of
the managers of the association that the
formal opening of the new building will
not be delayed beyond the first part of
February. and their energies will be bent
toward the accomplishment of this result.
This evening at 7:30 a meeting of the
board of managers will be held, and at it's
conclusion a meeting of the association will
convene to take action on several hundred
applications for membership already re-
ceived. The board of managers of the
association desire all persons who wish to
avail themselves of the advantages of the
building Immediately upon its opening 20
make application at once so that their ap-
plicauons can be acted upon. Meetings of
the association are only held once a month,
but it is entirely likely that a special meet
ing of the association will be called later in
the month to act upon applications.

Against the Tight Check Rein.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
May 1 ask If you know any intelligent
reason for using the tight check rein2 By
this barbarous fashion most inhuman
crueltles are inflicted in our midst, and the
perpetrators allowed to go free and unpun-
ished. over 800 veterinary surgeons in
Great Britain have signed a petition con-
demning the tight check rein as. painful to
horses and productive OF many diseases.
The prevailing reason given for this cruelty
is that 1t prevents the horse from STUN
bling. AS we'll tie the head of the swan to
his wings to prevent him from sinking as
he swimS; as we'll tie a mans head to the
back of his belt to keep him falling In the
race.
Why must this faithful friend of ours be
subjected to such torture? 1t largely de-
tracts from his free and graceful move
ments; the long-continued pressure renders
the mouth less sensitive 10 the rein. The
constrained and unnatural position Of the
head and neck dstorts the windpipe, caus-
ing graf pain and difficulty in breathing; 1t
ruins the disposition of the most docie
animal and shortens the lives of ALL
If all lovers Of horses would stand togeth-
er in strong determination to put a stop
to the crimes of docking, clipping, check
Ing, binding and whipping we might hope
that some time in the near future these
needless crueltieS might not be permitted
on our public streets. How can a man do
these things on the street or in the stable
and not hang his head in shame before the
eyes of sensible men? The brave men are
the merciful Only towards are cruel

TALK OF THE WAR.
Members of Rifle Club Relate Their
Personal Experience.

The Amateur Rife Club has cause for
coEgratulation in the honorable record
made in the late war by active members

rupture with that country was fully can

opportunity presented, would take up arms
In defense of the flag, which opportunity
was presented and accepted.
AT the annual meeting of the organiza-
ton a reunion of those who took part in
the late war was a conspicuous feature.
captain Graham, Captain Young and Lieu
tenant Shaw were present. and gave en-
PERTAINING "reminiscences of their personal
part in the conflict. The unavoidable alb
sence of General Harries and Private APP
pieby was much regretted. The affairs of
the club It is said, are in a promising con-
dition, and there will probably be many
matches and competitions for prizes the
coming year al the rifle range.
The election of officers. following the en-
tertainment, terminated in the election of
