Big Money in Good Horses,

Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky
have a national reputation for pro-
ducing fine horses, and in other
Southern states the conditions are
just as favorable for doing so, says
the Chattanooga News The horse
market in the last few years, how
ever, has not been encouraging to
breeders, But it seems that horses.
of such style and character ss have
been raised in the southern horse
growing states are again in demand
and it is not likely that any material
depression in prices will occur again.
At recent sales in New York of
standard bred horses for light harness
purposes the prices obtained were
without precedent The amount
obtained for sixty FIVE head was
$49,940, and an average Of $780,.

These horses were all of type
that horseman in the South, where
the heavy draught type has never
become popular, would take most in.
terest and pleasure in raising. They
were the product of crossing thor
ougbbred on trotting stock and had
the fine form and action that belong
to that type of horses, as well as
their speed and bottom. There will
never be q glut In the marked fer
horses of this type. They are want
ed by people who can pay any price
for what they fancy, and no sort of
vehicle will ever displace them fer
fpe driving. For fine driving and
riding horses we believe that such
prices will always be obtainable as
will Justify farmers who are we'll stu.
ated to 60 into the business IN
a formal way.
OF course it would not be we'll to
go into it on a large scale at once,
but gradually. Let those who have
active, muscular mares of good size
and qualities breed them to the best
lrotting stallion they can find, and
then when the colts come feed and
train them properly from the starr,
and the product will be horses that
at four years will probably bring
from $500 to $500 each. But it
must be remembered that there will
be almost as much in training as in
the breeding and raising. Character
and quality 10 horses are worth
almost as much as in men. This is a
thing that many farmers who raise
colts wholly ignore They let the
colts grow up to maturity as wild
as deer, and then treat them brutally
to "break" them A colt should no,
have to be broken He should be
trained from his birth up in euch a
way as to be gentle and intelligent.
aud whatever their other quaIitias,
they will be worth 25 per cent more

Wherefore they cheered Justify when

Terrible Conseau

The Springfield Republican satirizes In

that for US to give up tho Philippines
would involve "fearful consequences"
It says: sr<..;.4. II,
"Fhe consequences which aro spoken,
OF and dvYs!t wTan, arc, the loss Of tie
national dignity, tho erenewal of the war,
tho awful anarchy that would ensue In
tho Philippines, and tho failure of any
real 'expansion.' Two months ago we
all thought we had expansion, at least
by tho tail; we now find it Is in danger.
We ask ourselves, Can wo bear itp Can
we dispense, at this time, with the innu-
nerable blesl 'ngs which. many local
prophets have assured us would flow,
from expansion? Frankly, in our opin-
ion, we shall find it hard. We find it
hard already to wait for the report of tho
Presidents commission, which We shall
probably now have to do. Tho con-,
duct of the natives in compelling
our revered ruler to send out
a commission, instead of submitting
themselves at once TO tnaI proclamation,
will meet with no apology from us. We
have always been on the side Of author-
ity, and we shall 80 continue. A creator
set of rasoals we have not often heard Of,
except George Washington, who defod
several similar proolamations In n most
unseemly manner. Lot us say, en- pass
ant, that tho ' y this old fossil has been
puffod and bolauded strikes us as very
silly. 1t was, of course, easy enough to
preach peace and isolation TO us whon
we were &c smell q people that we could
not rob or bully any one; but tho check
of preaching peace and honesty TO a
nation Of 70,000,000, which can rob and
bully anybody it pleases, rs somo of tho
anti-annexationiBts are doing, strikes us
as colossal"
TO hear some of the expansionists talk
and rave ono would suppose that tho
safety and glory Of our country depends
upon our subjugation of q somi-savage
people ton thousand miles from the scat
of our government; that tho pillars of
our constitution had boon removed from
their original sotting and stuck in tho
