LONG DRIVE FOR WAGER.
An Indiana Man Rides to Portland,
Ore, Behind a Span of Year.
ling Ponies.

A rather unique looking procession
wendell it's way down the main street
Of Barker City, Ore. recently, on it's way
to Portland. The outfit consisted of
three covered wagons, followed by
carriage drawn by pair of thorough
bred yearling ponies. It was the latter
that attracted the most attention, says
the San Francisco Examiner.
In the carriage sat an old man.
whose weather-beaten face showed the
influence of the effects Of sun and wind.
To reporter he said: my name is
II. h. slyter. My family and self
started on April II from Howard coun-
ty, Ind, to cross the country to Port
land. We are travelling on wager.
and this is what the wager is. Do you
see this team Of ponies. They're thor
oughbreds.
"A man in our county in Indiana said
that that team of yearlings couldn't
cross the country to Portland and live
through the trip. We are notlimited as
to time, and just took our own time to
make the journey. We followed the
Union Pacific to Granger, and from
there to Rawlins. Wyo. From Rawlins
we came across country to Boise, and
from there to this city. We are taking
it easy. still we cover good many miles
in day We have had some pretty
tough experiences; yet, to take it al
together, we got along all right. A.
one time this team I'm driving travelled
10 miles without hay, yet you see how
they look.
whats the wager? Well, that's be.

canada's Postage Stamp Is criti-
cised Severely.
Imperialists in the Dominion as Well
as in England object to the
vainglorious Motto on MIR.
Mulock's Creation.

William Mulock, Canada's postmas-
ter general, has brought much unfavor-,
able criticism upon his head on account
of the remarkable design which he Sc
lected for the Canadian imperial penny
stamp, which first came into official use
on Christmas day. The tory or anti
Laurier press of the dominion refers to
the stamp as willie Mulock's Christ
mas card" and gets it's cue from the
fact that the word Xmas" and
year 1888" are found directly under
map showing the British empire in
bright red-appearing in black on the
accompanying picture of the stamp.
But it is not in Canada alone that OBJ
jections to the stamp are heard. The
news that the words: eve hold a
vaster empire than has been,' also APP
pear at the bottom of Postmaster Gem
eral Mulock's artistic gem has travelled
to England, with the result that inn
perialists there are chorusing their OBJ
jections to the imperialminded states
mans idea of what colonial postage
stamp should contain in the form of q
sentiment.
The motto chosen by Mr.. Mulock:
eve hold vaster empire than has
BEEN" is from the jubilee ode of Sir
Lewis Morris, entitled a Song of En-
pire," with the date, June 20, 1897, as
subtitle, indicating its tone and purpose.
An excerpt from the last stanza, from
which the motto was taken, is as fol-
lows:
We love not war. but only peace,M
Yet never shall our England's power de-
crease!
Whoever guides our helm of state.
Let all men know it. England shall be
great!
We hold vaster empire than has been!
Nigh half the race of man is subject to our
queen!
Nigh half the wide, wide earth is ours in

And where her rule comes all are free.

In the days Of Sir Henry's youth the
university of Glasgow was a leading in
stitution, and near enough to dominate
the views of Sir Henry's parents, and
to Glasgow was the possible liberal
leader sent to be collegian. Later he
turned to Trinity, Cambridge, and came
out bachelor (1s5S), and afterward
(1S61 a master. In 1872 he assumed
the surname of Bannerman, because of
the provisions of an uncle's will-Henry
Bannerman, of Kent. Very early in life
young Campbell Zimmerman was drawn
into politics. In 1868 he was elected to
parliament as the representative of the
liberal interest in the Stirling district.
From 1871 to 1874 he was the financial
secretary of the war Office, and was
again appointed to that Office in 1880.
In 1852 Sir Henry became secretary to
the admiralty.
Sir Henry was always a man whom
the leader of the liberals regarded with
favor, if not with Partially. In 1885
he was given the important position of
chief secretary for Ireland, and in
Gladstone's third cabinet, in 1886, he
was intrusted with the portfolio of sec
rotary of state for war. This same posi-
ton was given him in the Gladstone
ministry of 1892.
1t is probable that Sir Henry as q
man is more potent than Sir Henry as
a politician. BY no means strong in de-
bate. and by no means able as an orator,
he is yet powerful factor in the house.
Beside the great dead premier, either as
orator, debater or writer, Sir Henry
pales. Yet in his small included sphere
he is possibly even more attractive than
was Gladstone. While he will never
be worshiped as hero, he will always
be priced as personal friend. In this
fact, perhaps, lies his great strength.
His age and consequent experience of
the ways and words Of men give him a
tremendous advantage over his more
brilliant, more highly bred and moro
oratorical young rival, Grey. The lat
ter, an aristocrat in birth if not in
opinion, is evidently doomed to wait
for honors, which will come later.
Gladstone himself was. certainly de-
AShted WIN the acquisition OF such q
notable recruit as Grey, and might pos
sibly have chosen him as his successor,
but when men are dead their influence
is not always permanent. Sir Henry
CAMPBELL will bring to his
Office at least an experience and q ma
turity that will not be stumbling
block to the liberals, whatever else
they may be.
Sir Henry has been exceptionally for
tunate in his domestic affairs. His
wife is the daughter OF the late Sir
Charles Bruce. major general in the
royal army

It May Be Given to Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman.
Not a Great Man, but Safe Leader
His Elevation Would Give New
Strength and vigor to the
Liberal Party.

Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman has
recently risen as the particular star of
the liberal party in England. Specula-
ton, which has been rife of late upon
the probable leader of the liberals,
seems to have selected this Stirling
Burghs representative as the fttest
man to take the place of the great Glad
stone and of the more recent Vernon
Harcourt. Successors always, at least
in the beginning, labor under painful
disadvantage, for they are invariably
compared with the originals. But it
not infrequently happens that a pupil
exceeds his master, and there is prece-
dent in British history for the new
conner who eclipses the man whose
place he takes.
Unfortunately, this happy fate does
not seem to be reserved for Sir Henry
bell-Bannerman, as it might be
reserved for Sir Edward Grey. The lat
ter is young; the former is old. Old
men are seldom originals. Sir Henry is
63; Sir Edward is 81. The latter is an
aristocrat, descended from the very
best ard ncblest Norman blood in the
kingdom. The former is democrat,
and comedies nothing to his traditions
when he becomes the liberal. The only
question that suggests itself is: Is Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman the man
to take Gladstone's place and is he
young enough to improve upon the
grand old MANI"
Sir Henry is the second son of the
late Sir James Campbell, of stracathro
Forfarshire, by Janet, the youngest
daughter of the late Henry Bannerman,
of Manchester. He was born in 1886.

JUDGE HARRIS DEAD.

Judge John T. Harris, formerly Rep
rcsentaliyc III Congress from The Seventh
district of Virginia, died at his home in
Harilsonhmrg, Saturday night shortly
after 0 o'clock. lie was 20 years of age.
Iii. death ives due primarily 10 general
exhaustion incidental to a heart atlec-
ton, which developed more than three
years ago. Ii Was doubtless hasicned
by slight attack of pneumonia within
the last fortnight. Judge Harris had
been aware of his critical condition and
his mental faculties were clear almost
to the hour OF dissolution.
SKETCH OF DECEASED.
John T. Harris was born In Albemarle
county in May, 1923, and when Yeas
of age his parents removed to Augusta
county. In 1915 he was admitted to
practice law and located in Harrison
burg, where he soon commanded good
practice, He carly took an active part
in politics, being stanch Democrat. In
1852 he was elected Commonwealth
Attorney for Rockingham county and
was reelected in 1856. In 1869 he was
elected to Congress, defeating Col. Jas.
II. Skinner, of Staunton.
In 1868 he was a candidate to Con.
gress 1t special election, but was de-
ieated by Hon. William Mines. In
October of the next year he was nomi-
mated by the Democratic Conservative
party and was elected over c. NJ. Reyn-
olds, Of Boietourt. He was continuously
reelected in 1872, 1874, 1876 aud 1873.
In the campaign of 1878 the Virginia
debt question became an issue
among the Democrats of Virginia and
Judge Harris was opposed by John
Paul as tile readjuster candidate.
The fight was warm one and
Paul was one of the most aggressive
leaders of the new party. The result,
however, was victory Tor Judge Har-
ris by a majority that was Unexpectedly
large, in view of the strength of the re-
djuster moyementin the Valley cOun-
ties.
Judge Harris married Miss Virginia
Miller. of Rockingham county, who Sur
wives HIM, with three sons and four
daughters. His sons are: Graham II.
Harris, of Chicago; John L; Harris, Jr.,
of Harrisonburg, and Surgeon II. N. 7.
